I wouldn't understand why my horse would get so 'wild' at certain times, but I found out that getting his stirrups shorter is getting him angrier. I later discovered that the only way to calm him down or make him 'behave' , is by talking to him. Talking and communicating with your horse is a totally helpful tip
I got a horse in November and I really needed help because I didn’t have all the facts. You have really helped me learn everything I need to know! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
All good ideas and thank you for saying it's ok to get off your horse! Anytime I've done so, it de-escilates the situation, I wish more people would teach this. Always love seeing Tucker 😊
So yawning means he’s relaxed? I keep reading conflicting info. I’ve been trying to learn horse language so I can better understand my neighbor’s horse (he visits me at my fence). He yawns every day!
Always love watching all of your videos, i just got my first horse on the 1st of Feb. Your videos have helped so much, by chance can you make a video about how to clean out a horses nose ? Curious since I live in AZ and my horse Rio tends to have a dusty nose lately. Can't wait to see more weekly videos !
Great video!! I can attest that clicker and target training are really helpful for refocusing my anxious Arab and helping him calm down. Thanks for all the great tips!!
THANKS THANKS THANKS , today my mare (my first horse ever , she's 15 and one eye blind) got so anxious it almost went out of the stables even tho i was holidng her , she is pretty distrust because of her eye but we're doing step by step everything! Thanks for this video
One of my horses spooks at almost everything. I've found that pulling a horses nose and "riding it in a circle" doesn't always keep that horse under control. So many times, my horse has run off with me even though i have her nose against my leg. 😮 Disengaging the hindquarters is a MUST for control!
Greta info and I would add that at night to play relaxing nature videos on low to allow the horse to reach a very deep level of relaxation during the night. Never slap a horse. People do this all the time thinking a horse is tough but no horse likes that
Thank you so much for this video. My horse is in advanced rehab..small tear suspensory ligament left hind. We can trot but avoid circles and all movements which load the area. He has a lot of energies. Doing a lot of ground work but need to be on saddle as well as he needs to.work his body step by step on saddle too. I wonder if you have a video foe this type of situation 😊 thank you very very much 😊 🦄🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! This video was mostly helpful but when you started lunging Tucker I think why he would try to trot at first is because you were holding the whip close to his back end and maybe next time you can hold out a little farther away😊😁
Lol wish I saw this before my lesson yesterday because the owner of the barn was lawnmowing and my horse was scared of it. He did a little spook and I wasn't expecting it and I almost flow over his neck. He didn't bolt, rear, or buck he just did one of those things where the like take a step and bend their knees and the turn and do something similar. I managed to stay on and then walked him out a bit and I was supposed to center for my second time but he was really scared of the mower the rest of the time. I gave lots of pats and love and then hand walked him.
Horsey! I've never had any horses, but I once stopped during a bike ride to walk it while in farmland, I happened to be right outside a pasture for horses, and soon as they saw me all the horses went up and approached me, so I had a bunch of horses nosing me and nipping my hair
I need to tell my friend about this. His horse is a very Rambunctious horse. His horse was sold to him bye a not very honest person. His horse kicks and bites, I love his horse beacause his horse is so nice to me, but he's not as nice to my friend. I think they need to use this ill send this to them if I can. Thanks!😍😎
Hey so I was just wondering what’s the safest/best website to buy horses from. I’ve been wanting to get a horse for a while but I’m not sure what websites to trust, so could someone please tell me what’s the most recommendable website for doing so. I’m from the UK. Thank you, and great video! :)
If there are any nearby, certified rescues that's always a good bet. Most of the horses are older or have a disability but most of not all rescues train and work with their horses and will tell you up front exactly what is needed. Usually it's cheaper too.
Can engaging the hind on the ground when there freaking out. My pony has saddle fear so am starting him to get use to a roller. One day he OK but then the next he explodes x
I my friend has a severely overgrown paddock where her horse is. I’ve known this horse for years & I think she’s only been out of the paddock a handful of times. She’s only halter trained so never ridden. Anyways we decided to take her out as a trial to see how she would react. Luckily I had the lead rope. Even though she’s been in that area for years she acted like she was in a completely different world. Nervous but was very nosey. She would spook easy & would never let me get to the head of her when walking to a different spot, which was like 5ft away. She’s got to come out but stay calm so my husband can bush hog that paddock so she can have a better area. I wanna make sure we are both safe during this progress, any advice?
i love all these tips i have a ottb mare that i got from the track and she was not treated well at the track and turned into aggressive she was moved to multiple barns as she was with me to find out where she might be happiest now she is good but she is anxious/ reactive about simple things and ground work helps her sometimes but she still rears when doing backup exercises and gives pinned ears and flared or crescent nostrils i guess giving an “attitude” about it? any tips for this??
Always love your videos! My horse is only anxious when it comes time to saddle him. He tries to rear, the vet said he doesn't suffer ulcers maybe just bad behavior. Do you have any suggestions on bad behavior when tacking?
Get your saddle checked. Your vet is wrong, and bad advice coming from a vet!. Bad saddle fit or bad back most likely. Horses don't react for no reason, their brains don't work like that, like people.
Equine helper can you help me- The horse I ride died. We where just starting to do cantering and it was going great and he was such a great horse. Now I am riding a different horse and I have to re lean everything because he has a bad knee so his walk/trot/and canter are all slow and I guess with his left shoulder going down more. She said I have to keep my hands higher so his head isn’t low and I have to ride with a lot of contact so the reins and very short. How do I best ride him. Also she might put me on her new 2 year old horse that’s only been broken for 2 months if he learns quickly with steering. Because he’s sweet but is somewhat green.
Wind freaks my horse, got anything for that one? I try to lead her to a turn out and she gets high headed, so I don't dare try to ride her during the wind.
He's clipped! She discussed in a video before that she clipped his chest because when they work that's where he gets the most sweaty and that's Usually the case for most horses
Let him go back to the stable, and do some circles there for a few minutes then walk in the direction you want in a easy straight line. Make the wrong thing hard and the right thing easy. Just remember to be firm but fair, you can make the wrong thing hard without being cruel 😊
They’re animals , don’t interfere , don’t try to make them do anything. No training , no targets, talk to them, if they want to connect they will, if they don’t , they won’t. Bond with them, it’s not that difficult, worse thing I’ve ever seen is “break the horse”. That means intimidate and control , that is not how to be with a horse.

What does ur stirrup length have to do with anything?
I swear Tucker knows how to act and what to do specific to each topic you teach- like he's acting out the topics with you.
2:22 you owe him a few treats there 😂
I got a horse in November and I really needed help because I didn’t have all the facts. You have really helped me learn everything I need to know! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
So happy to see you still making great content, very easy and simple ❤
Tucker puts a smile on my face every time. 🙂

Laughed out loud when he started yawning! You definitely helped him relax. 😀

I love your videos. I love learning and expanding my knowledge. And knowing that im doing some things right also makes me feel good
This video is so helpful! Even with horses that just don't want to pay attention

I hope this helps my horse! Can you do a deworming for beginners?
I'm training my 6 y/o arab cross to be a trail horse, and that serpentine trick works wonders!
Love this post, very informative .. my dogs went nuts when they heard you squeak that toy 😂
Greta info and I would add that at night to play relaxing nature videos on low to allow the horse to reach a very deep level of relaxation during the night. Never slap a horse. People do this all the time thinking a horse is tough but no horse likes that

I needed this so much! Thanks for this, it really really helped. :)
It was really helpful! Thank you♡
Tucker is adorable and I love your videos. I had to laugh at Tuckers shaved "bosom"😁
This really helped with my 9YO MARE
This video was great! Not sure if you do, but I’d love to see trail riding videos!
Me: never ridden a horse
YT suggestion: How To Calm An Anxious Horse

Horsey!

Awesome video! Also, When will we be able to see your other horses?
This is so helpful thank you for informational video

5 : 30 YAWNING IS CONTAGIOUS :D
I don’t have a horse but I am watching this
We hope your beautiful hair (How to play with a horse) grows long again soon.
Nice vlogs 👍
why do you not have a half pad on
What do you use for treats?

I love frisky Tucker!!😊
I’ve been working on getting my horse to back up using the method you’ve shown. Any help on what to do if she side steps instead of backs up?
Wind freaks my horse, got anything for that one? I try to lead her to a turn out and she gets high headed, so I don't dare try to ride her during the wind.
What is up with tuckers belly?? Is that natural?
Drop your voice lower calm tones make a big difference, seem to help greatly xx
I sing to my horses sometimes too. They always seem to listen. :)
How do you calm your horse around a new horse sharing the same pasture ?
What state do you live?
Are you close to Missouri?
Hi
Hiiii
why is he "shaved" from the neck down?
He's clipped! She discussed in a video before that she clipped his chest because when they work that's where he gets the most sweaty and that's Usually the case for most horses
When I get my horse from stale to take her out she runs back stale it's hard for me
Let him go back to the stable, and do some circles there for a few minutes then walk in the direction you want in a easy straight line. Make the wrong thing hard and the right thing easy. Just remember to be firm but fair, you can make the wrong thing hard without being cruel 😊
P.s. The key is to actually change their mind instead of forcing 😊
They’re animals , don’t interfere , don’t try to make them do anything. No training , no targets, talk to them, if they want to connect they will, if they don’t , they won’t.
