Hello! I’m new to your channel but just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos, your clear love for your sweet horses & your training. I found you from another TH-camr & horse lover who mentioned you in her recent video @RaleighLink. Anyhow I look forward to seeing more of your videos & your lovely horses! 💜
Hi i was wondering if you could explain how to train a horse to go on their hind end and learn contact i have no idea how to teach this as no one teaches it thanks ( my sisters horse is named Brave:)
It’s actually shellgrit so the sand and crushed shell mixture that we have on some beaches here in Australia. It probably a 50/50 mix and about 4 inches deep.
english riding looks so off to me, always on the big on the head just on that mouth, looks horrific to a western rider that wants his horse to have a low head relaxed even in the trot and canter, not all framed up. we want the horse to have freedom and balance not always fighting that bit and holding the head high and pulling that chin to the neck,
You really can’t compare the frames bc the purpose and horses are totally different. Western disciplines utilize breeds that are smaller, low center of gravity bc they are meant to be roping, barrel racing and working on ranches. It’s like watching herding dogs and how they hover close to the ground for rapid change of directions. Being on the forehand is necessary in western disciplines and the breeding reflects that. In jumpers and dressage the horses are often a lot taller, so higher center of gravity and they are meant to carry their weight in their hindquarters with time and proper training when in dressage for piaffe or passage or if jumping to shift it to the hindquarters to jump a fence. If I tried to canter my 17.3h horse over a fence with their head or neck low we would crash through it. But a roper could never do the lightning speed turns and spins if they were on the haunches. It’s just physics and each horse bred for the job they do and ridden correctly they do it well, but neither is right or wrong or bad for the horse if done right (peanut rollers in western world and in dressage rollkur would be examples of when it goes wrong)
came here from Raleigh reacts
Thanks for coming
Great video - you have been working with him so well - he is becoming a wonderful horse 🙂
Thank you! 😊
For his eighth ride he's amazing. And the jockey is good too!
Not his eighth ride but eight rides since the last video I posted about him. Sorry for the confusion 😐
There he is!❤
Coming along nicely Josie😊
Thank you! It’s going to be hard to part with him when I send him home 🤩
What an awesome watch, I love how he really wants to work with you 😊
I am going to find it hard to give him back! 🥰
That's a fairly big canter. I'd be totally puffed out after one little lap! Great video - Thanks so much.
Awesome video and great improvement!
Beautiful!!! What a good boy and well done you 🎉
Thank you Linda 💗
He is doing fantastic on the trot. The Canter is coming along, too.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻. He tries so very hard 🥰
I would love for you to tell me in the comments 👇whether or not you can see an improvement in Brave.
Yes, Brave has improved a lot! Wonderful job, thanks for sharing👌
Thank you 😊
Doing so well, improved in so many ways. The trot looking good and the stretch. That canter looks big, you’re brave to ride it 😅.
He has a very BIG canter 😆

Thank you so much!
This was great to watch. I am currently starting a 3 y/o Oldenburg. It’s been a wonderful process. Can you share what bit you are using in this video?
❤❤
Do you have a preference of mares over geldings?

Great lesson again. Can I have a question: what kind of surface you have on the dressage paddock?
It is sand and softfall. The softfall is the stuff they put under playground equipment.
@@BasicHorseTrainingAre there particular proportions? And the sand is more like sand or like gravel?
It’s actually shellgrit so the sand and crushed shell mixture that we have on some beaches here in Australia. It probably a 50/50 mix and about 4 inches deep.
Going really well. Thks for showing us.
Love the hairy canter. You r a brave women
