When you move your poles wider with the four on the ground, you move the first one 6", the second 12", and the third 18". Otherwise you have only increased the last gap and not the others.
Fun fact: if you roll out all poles by 6 inches, the distance between them will be the same as before, only 6 inches to the right.
Very helpful video in training my green 5 year old! Thank you. Subscribed! ❤️
I miss evention TV so much!!! Who’s watching in 2017 !!!

Any tips to steadying or keeping a consistant canter?
could you please do a video on getting a horse on the bit/in a frame??
also could you do a video on keeping a consistent canter??
Wow your videos have demystified some of the common training issues that I have had with my OTTB mare. It is amazing to witness first hand the progress we are both making.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!! I knew my comments wouldn't be ignored! You have no idea how much this means, can't wait to get home and try this out. Hopefully my boy will start to have a little more drive and lengthen out. I hate beating him to death to get him to be forward, especially while jumping! Thank you guys soooooo much! Yall are wonderful!
can you do keeping a consistant canter?
That last method is the one I will use on my horse that I brought yesterday. Thanks x
Impressive videos, both technically (videography, audio, framing, lighting, background music, etc.) and in terms of information conveyed. Thanks for uploading them. Each and every one is appreciated.
love the bloopers at the end! would really like to see more of those! also my horse has the problem that at the trot and canter she is constantly wanting to go even more forward. if i were to drop the contact or ride on the buckle at the trot or canter she would not remain in the same rhythm and tempo we were originally going in, how do i fix that?
would also love to see an episode on flying changes how to teach them, do them, and refine/ refresh them!!
Is it just me or when he is talking, behind him the more green tree looks like a horse head!!!
THAT'S SO COOL!!!
Oh yeah
I'm so confused lol
@FUNFUNextraFUN me too
I am a 11 year old and my horse is being great with your help!
I love the bloopers, you should do that at the end of every episode!
This should a tv show. for the horse people.
Great 'Shout Out' - so many events wouldn't happen without the volunteers! And it's really good fun too :)
"forward" = "energy," not necessarily speed, just as he says.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been working so hard with my new forest pony to get him moving but it always ended up with me getting really angry and giving up. My pony is a riding school pony so he has become very desensitised to my leg so the lunging tactic really helped with me!
"He can feel a fly land on his ass" I WAS😂😂😂😂
Hey Evention. I'd love to see a video of "self correcting" exercises for the horse. Such as a rusher, a horse that doesn't take off evenly with his hind end, swings his legs to the side, or a horse that's loose with his knees.
My horse's INSTANT reaction happens 2 years later..
Same xD
I can't make that clicking sound or a kissing sound ;-;
Nikki B. Me too, I have trouble working on my clicking and my lazy horses never listen when I kiss. Maybe working on some other commands for your horse? If not maybe voice commands?
The kissing sound is basically sucking in air through a really thin gap. An for the clicking sound you have to make big air pressure in your mouth and put your tongue on your right or left side ( not between your teeth , still in the middle bit slightly to your right or left. the tongue must slightly feel the the teeth. Then raise your upper lip to create a gap and push out the air really quickly through that. ( I really cant explain it any better. im sorry :( hope it helps, let me kno.) good luck keep trying :)
Thank you This had helped a small bit of my problem!! My horse Grace had problems with the whole forward thing.She is 4 and still learning. Whenever I first get on her she tries to go back into her paddock. (Closed or opened) She just won't go! If you can get the rest of my problem straight I would thank you greatly!
your helping me to get my horse forward going because I came off 6 times trying to do a 2 hole up
I don't think I've ever heard anyone on this channel swear before😹😹😹

+Kayleigh Burns thats what i thought
thank you!! wonderful clip, so helpful!!
The quality of this video is really nice!
love the evention tip of the day! I do this already, but its a great idea!
Heh - those bloopers. :D
Unfortunately, my horse is a quirky little thing that seems to defy all logic. In pleasure mount we were trying to get the horse to slow down without the hand aids, so I leaned back, and then she took off like a rocket.
Also, do you think you could do a video on different types of bits? I've tried millions of bits on my horse and she only seems to listen to a bitless bridle. Thanks guys! Great video as always.
I like how you put the video together! Very nice!
Can you please do a video on how to teach a horse to go onto the bit and what the rider has to do? Thanks!
Could you do a video on choosing a horse please
That awkward moment when one of your horses is dozing off when you're shooting a video 'how to get your horse more forward'. :-D Love you guys!!! xoxo
i shall try this tomorrow with my lazy one....that tip with the trott poles. he doesn't like canter at all and doesnt respond to my legs and even bucks when i ask him to canter and he has a REALLY bad day. but once i got him to work properly and his pace is more powerfull and he doesnt drag his hindquarters along behind him, he looks like a pro and doesnt want to stop anymore. but it would be nice if i could loosen him more quickly. it takes almost half an hour until he is willing to go forward and is more relaxed and i actually get to concentrate on my seat. and once he actually IS working, i'm already exhausted. :(
i'm also working with him from the ground, where he obeys me quite well. i lead him without a rope, he just walks along beside me and follows me everywhere, even if i take a run. that has helped me a lot lately. also the tip with the spooky horse is great. i suscribed your channel immediately. it's also nice to see pro's wearing a helmet. many good riders ride without one and are a bad influence on kids because it's "cool".
before my horse became injured and sore ( she's alright now) I had tried spurs on her and she reacted well, now, going forward is a huge issue and my confidence is shaken because my horse kicks when asked off the leg to go forward. I was just wondering if i should try spurs or would she react really badly?
Make sure your horse has been fulled vetted--meaning seen by a chiropractor, that you aren't covering up an issues with the horses feet with shoes, etc. Horses will act differently or badly--which can be confused with the horse having a bad attitude when it really just means your horse is in pain. Found out my horses lower backs rib was slightly off place and that was causing her to drag her back feet.
Thanks for your help, sadly my horse was having attitude issues and needed daily training just to work her through the problems. I decided to sell her to a lovely woman who will get the best out of her and be able to ride her everyday :)
Love your videos! Please do one on how to get the best jumping position?!?
Miss you guys❤️
bloopers are funny you should do that more often
Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. I will try this with the horse that I look after. :)
cantering counter clockwise, my mare likes to swing her hind end out and flip her lead. I apply some pressure with my outside leg but this doesn't do much. she doesn't listen. I am hoping to show her next summer, because she is a new mare I recently started riding (March 4th 2013), but she hasn't been listening to my commands. And ideas?
I would LOVE to see some more videos for youngsters .. as i own a green show jumper? :) Thanks so much guys!!
I love horses so I am going to buy one and that's why I am watching this video to ride the horse
" Thank You! this had helped a lot! :D"
Thanks this will help
I lease a school pony and because little kids sometimes ride him, he doesn't always respond, sometimes not to the crop or voice as they use them inappropriately. What do?
I recently started working with a school horse who was taken out of lessons because he refuses jumps and won't listen to aids I recommend trying to ride him outside. Or somewhere with more space and picking up a canter or gallop giving him the reign and letting him run you could also lunge him but I don't find it as affective they usually will be much more awake after that since he is a school horse you really have to make him know your in charge because he's probably used to little kids he can boss around I hope these tips that worked for me work for you!
+Emma Laiho I ride him out as much as possible, but as soon as he gets into the arena he gets very nappy. They also work him too much on rein and he is weak on the one rein when doing cantering.
Can you do a video on how to round out/engage your horse's back?
love your videos
Omg yall so pretty with the most beatful horse in word
good one
Do a one on good equitation ! PLEASE!!!!
I love love love your channel !(: I would also like to see how to get your horse in shape for the show season.
This was great can u please do a video on getting a horse for and maintaining the horses fitness :)
ahhhh holding the longe line in 'loops' is so not good! lol one thing ive always preached to everyone and always practice .. but awesome video i learned a lot!
Being relaxed and loading him into the trailer and getting him used to being around it when there's no time pressure and when he doesn't have to get into it will make everything much easier. Imagine it from a horse's perspective - a trailer is very scary, and so being forced into it when you're unfamiliar with it by nervous, rushing people... I would probably rear up and try to escape too.
I love my girl but i got her when i was a beginner and now that im getting better i wanna do more but she just doesn't want to move anymore, she is a thoroughbred
Can you do a video on riding a nervous horse that is like nervous of everything
Can u do a video on how to get an out of shape horse more fit? I live ur videos! U are so helpful
awesome help
Now ive had my horse for 3 months and hes been using a plastic well I dont rilly know what the black part of it is but its a soft bit any way he's been having a hard time stopping like theres no bit in his mouth and I dont know if its the bit or hes not wanting to stop but I might get a cupple of bits and see if that helps
This was so helpful!!!
Please do one on if your pony is be stubborn
Can you do a video on how to get your horse over the jumps if they are scared or refuse?
hi im 13 and I have a 7 yo Appy x mare with next to no education. when I try to make her go more forward in walk, she just goes up into trot, what are some tips to get her to moving better?
Also, she has learned to hump to try to get out of work, she has been doing this for about 8 weeks, how can I break this habit? ive been told it means she's learning to engage her back, is this true?
thanku so much!!
by "hump" you mean buck? well if whenever she does that you stop working her then you're letting her get away with it so she knows whenever she's had enough or being lazy she can buck and you'll stop. you can't let her get away with it. carry on riding her and ALWAYS finish on a good note.
The horse that I am currently riding is a draft cross. I have my whip with me and my legs pushes him forward almost all the time. Believe me that I have tried quite everything. Do you have any tips on how to keep a constant forward pace? He does go forward for a few strides before going slower. And then I forward him again, and he still slows down after a few strides. Could you please help? Thank you very much!
Warm Regards xxx
my mare is very forward she doesnt go fast fast but she can leave you behind but when i ask her to slow down she lags behind the leg.
My horse is a 5 year old appaloosa who is in training for eventing. She's super lazy and was started as a western horse so I'm having a hard time transitioning her. I realized I messed up in her training some where and I need to go back.
Do you have or have you had any horses that hind legs brush together? Does it cause them any troubles in eventing?
What do you do if your horse won't respond to the stick and just bucks if you hit it harder?
Buy a new horse :3
maybe have a vet check him out for pain, or go back to the basics and get him moving in small circles
+Rebecca Lippert Huber
I'm going to get the saddle fitter out but if she is still stubborn I will do simple things. :)
Ruby4ever my advice but this dépens on your horse. Hit him again and shout no.
Ruby4ever my horse is like that
He might have a ill fitting saddle ect xo
thanks so much for this vid
How do I get my tb to be more forward I've tried eerything and he won't go he can't lift up his legs over a jump properly either please help
Amazing I like
My horse is lazy and that did work so it did thanksxx
*pokes with crop* XD XD XD
Thank you!! I have ridden several horses with this problem and I will definitely try this out!! All of your videos are so helpful :)
came on here to find a vid to help me train my very lazy 4 year old haflinger was happy to see the sleeping one in the start of this vid 😂😂
we have a horse at the stables that I go to that likes to bolt twards the door to the areana. Any ideas?
I'm starting a horse in the summer how can I get her to get a good jump ??
Hey, I need some help with the stallion I ride. He is so dead quiet that I stuck a nervous beginner rider on his bareback with mares in season in view, and he was falling asleep. Same concept at shows. I save my spurs for lessons and shows so he doesn't get dead to them, but when I do where them, no matter how hard I kick or whip him with the dressage whip, he stays dead. Completely unconcerned. How do I get him more forward? We're always going at a meander, even if the jump is a 1.30m oxer.
Can you do a video about how to get your horse to listen to you? Mine won't listen to me when I try to keep her on the outside of the arena. I have tried getting off and walking her around the edge but it hasn't worked. She also start walking around in circles and will not listen to my leg or when use the reins
my horse does this to have you found a way to fix it yet?
Nice! :D thanks for the tips!
I love the videos guys! Well, i have an extremely lazy connemara x that is soooo marey! She used to breed so shes brood marey. She will pin her ears and push her hind end towards me when mounting and swish her tail! When mounted she will do nothing but walk and i know shes capable of trot and canter and jump because ive ridden her doing it before and she was perfect. Please any solutions to ACTUALLY make her go?
We tried loading my horse into a trailer the other day for a show and he has always been a little scared of trailers but this time he was rearing and striking at my trainer... Any ideas how to get him to be more relaxed and stop rearing and striking at people that are trying to load him in a trailer?And most importantly how to get him in the trailer.
Love this "Bob's your uncle!"
do you have any tips on when a horse go into a gallop on accident? becuse my horse does that from a bad memory
hey love ur videos 😃 how do I get my horse to stop going backwards in the school she fine for first 5 mins but then when I ask her to go forward she will just back up I drop the reins and kick on and say walk on but she just keeps going backwards please help
when you use your legs sometimes they go behind the girth you just need to put your leg forward if thats the problem my horse does it somtimes
Thank you for this, I love your vids
I wish they would have done this without the spurs... I'm riding a 26-year old Oldenburg ex-showjumping horse, and he's super lazy. It's exhausting to ride him. When I get up and ride him in walk and trot with loose reins he moves quite forward, but as soon as I shorten the reins he often stops working with me. Even when he's walking good in trot and walk and does everything I ask him to, as soon as I want to canter he's not responding anymore; he always needs a point to "wake up" but it's hard to get him to that point alone. When someone just walks some steps after him and I give him a secure, strong voice command to canter he does, but just me on his back barely gets him to canter. I don't ride with spurs and he doesn't listen to the whip, he's just more stubborn, uses his tale to show me he wouldn't care about the whip, or kicks to the side I used the whip on - and I'm not even really slapping him but more touching him.
Once I get him to canter he continues cantering until I ask him to trot, that's not a problem, but still I need a lot of time to get him to canter and I actually don't want to ride him so long because of his age. Half an hour (plus fifteen minutes walk before work to get him warm) should be enough for him, I'd be satisfied with that, but like this I spend an hour or 1 1/2 hours on his bag to finish on a good note...
Does anyone know the name of the music in the first video (How to keep your horse forward)
+luke murphy I've forgotten the name of the song, but I know it's by Switchfoot.
Pleassssseee do one on the perfect jumping position :)
Please post again
thank you i found this video very helpfull 😀😀😁😁😂😂😃😃😄😄😊☺
I recently got a new 5 year old with very little experience and he is fast and likes to go but I can't get him to open out in trot and canter he's always gathering himself up really tight and I really want to know some tips if anyone has any ( also I'm not holding the reins really tight or restricting him from going )
perhaps try some work on the lunge? If he canters and trots on the lunge then I would look into a saddle or back issue
Sounds like your horse is hollow--short, fast up-and-down steps. I second trying him out on the longe to see if it is a back pain or improper saddle fit. Have him looked over by a vet and chiro and have a professional saddle fitter check the fit of your saddle. If your saddle allows (if it's a tiny bit too wide, which is actually a good thing) I'd then look into getting a half pad either sheepskin or prolite (my mare REALLY loves the prolite) if all's well at this point, ride and try and get him to stretch down and out while still maintaining an active, not necessarily fast, gait. I've found this usually helps my tense ottb relax and supple. What a lot of people don't understand is that it takes TIME for any horse to change his way of going. It will be uncomfortable for him at first. Especially as a young horse his balance is not fully developed. If you get just a few steps of a nice, swinging trot, reward him by softening your hand, leg and seat for a moment, then gently remind him of what you want. Oh and be sure to keep a light seat at that age no sitting trot and use half seat at canter. Good luck!
I ride a lot of diffrent horses and i can make the click noise and it works with them always but the horse that i’m currently riding is Chilly and she does not respond to my clickning noise whathever i do she does not understand it so we try to motivate her😑
can you make an episode about how to get your horse to accept the bit. My horse just avoids it and moves his head around a lot.
How do your horse on the bit?
i like your horses
My pony doesn’t listen to me. If I kick him he just stops and no matter how hard I kick he won’t go. If I use spurs he gets mad. If I use the crop he just bucks. Any tips? If my trainer gets on he listens fine. I just don’t get it.
My horse falls out of the canter too easily, making it hard for me to keep him in it, any tips?
Hey
As a kid I learnt to ride on quite lazy horses and I have the habit of giving a squeeze everytime I come back in the saddle during posting trot, now usually when I ride the horses they don't seem to always react to my leg how they do with other riders.
Do you think that my habit could be the reason why they're less reactive to my leg?
shana rosseel because you are a kid, you don't have so much power in your legs. You need to work harder for a leg aid. and keep your legs still and your ankle down when giving aids.
Lia Miu I'm becoming 17 this year so I'm not exactly a kid anymore. I try to keep my leg still and it's working but I still have to break the habit of squeezing with my leg the entire time. thanks for the tip tho
keep your legs completely still unless you horse actually requires an aid
Do you have tips for me for a bolting horse?
The moment the horse takes off do a one rein stop (pull one rein, preferably the inside one, in a way that makes his head turn to face you or his hind quarters, do that every time the horse takes off).
Also, once you stop the horse, canter him on a 20 metre circle until he is really tired. If he wants to canter, he can canter :)
