This kind of behavior intimidates me, because I’m always concerned the behavior will escalate. Thanks for showing us how you just keep at the work and don’t change your behavior. She didn’t really calm down, but she didn’t escalate, either.
I know mine did. She was an awful mess. Bucking, calling, spinning, rearing, squirting thing running around with her tail aside. 😳. She was my last and only mare.
It's understandable that you could be intimidated with such behavior. I equate Tim's handling of this mare to getting a child to stay in bed. If you have to put the child back 50 times, stick to it. Same with the horse. If you feel that it's not safe to correct the behavior from the saddle, do it from the ground. I am able to correct most bad behavior from the ground. I specialize in working with horses that are having problems. I watch other trainer's videos to increase my knowledge, more tools in my toolbox. Make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard.
The man's got skills!
I was gonna say she is probably in season, then you said it. Nice job riding out that buck, you made it look easy!
Thank you for showing us good and bad days. It is reassuring!!! My mare is typically focused and willing, but when she is in season she can have a challenging moment in that she wants to say no. No idea if this mare is in season, but it was my first thought. Regardless, good job and yes, a quick "oh no you won't" is a great training tool 😊
Every woman watching this is like, Ah, PMS
Recording I was very careful about what I said about that. Lol.
@@timandersonhorsetrainingas you should 😉

No point in poking the bear!@timandersonhorsetraining
Dancer! Lovely horse! Great you show when things are not so good. You don't buy into her emotions but just redirect her and carry on with your commentary. I've noticed how quick you were to shut down the bucks, before it became a big issue. Some good learnings in this one😊🐎🐎🐎
I really appreciate how you meet horses where they are. Harsh corrections are only for dangerous behaviors like bucking, but even then, corrections are always proportional and fair, and never cruel. That is as it should be.
Working with horses, to me, seems a lot like working with toddlers. We set them up to succeed but also make sure they know the boundaries will be enforced.
I learn a lot by watching and it makes my own riding better. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Anyone who knows Arabs understands them. Very smart as well as intelligent. Females in season also have difficulty concentrating on task . They can go forever without a sweat. What a beautiful mare. Looks like a black bay or blood bay. Once they connect with their owner, they're protective and doglike and want to be with you all the time. Very affectionate if you bond .❤
I was going to ask if she may have got into season, but you already answered my question in the video.
She's a beauty 💖🐎
It’s nice you show bad days too. Sometimes when they are an unpleasant ride it’s tempting to give up but it’s nice to see the follow through.
Thank you for showing the bad days. I love that your videos show everyday life.
Dancer was a handful today. Looking forward to seeing the next ride.
Other boarders would ask if I was tiring my horse out before I rode because I would longe him first (not long, actually). I'd laugh and tell them, "He's an Arabian, that's not possible. I do this to make sure he's listening to me."
Good morning all. Yes agree good to see the bad days too.Good job Tim. Thank you Tim & Melinda for video.😄🙄
She's having a bad day but I'm learning quite a bit!! Good to know how to stop a buck. Thankyou for doing the videos
Our mare acted like this during her first season of the year. Then she’d get sensitive during later seasons, but the first annual one was always by far the worst. We put her on Mare Magic, and it helped. Luckily, we did not have to resort to Regumate because that’s a lot harder to administer and you have to watch out that you don’t get it on your own skin.
My mares get buddy sour, & do the same behavior as this horse. Thanks for how to keep on a going.
I’m glad to see what you do with her when she whinnies. Just what I do with my mare when she calls back when we are on trail. Thank you.
Hi tim, I like your Mustangs and the other horses you train. Keep up the good work 🐎🐴 she is a pretty horse. I like her a lot it is dancer
Great job dealing with her being in heat ..i am in nebraska and alot of rider's don't like mares and less still understand how to deal with one..let alone a arabian mare in heat they can be sooooo dramatic but you understand how to deal..and its not spurring and jerking her all over the place..as you call it cowboy training..that crap don't work with Arabians you ruin them very quickly doing that..ask a gelding tell a stud and a arabian mare in heat serious negotiation taking place there.
She's got to be in season!!!
I remember those days…my ears would be ringing😆 Great job Tim!
My first thought was she is in season. I had a mare act just like her. She's a nice looking Arabian. I love them. Nice job!
Bet she is in heat.
Yup, hormones can do a real number on mares
Arab.
My thought too.
@@FluxyMiniscus They certainly used to do it to me! LOL!
@@shashakeeleh5468 me too lol
ALWAYS an education to watch and LISTEN to your videos!
My sister's mare acted the same way when she was in heat. She turned into an absolute brazen hussy!😅
She is so beautiful ❤❤❤
My mare used to act like this when she came into season. She harassed every gelding we had. She was shameless. Finally put her on Regumate and Mare magic. After that, she couldn’t care less about the geldings but she would get into a tizzy and sweat herself up, she couldn’t stand herself when unmedicated.
Same with our mare. We used a more herbal approach, Mare Magic, and it helped a lot.
Very cool you showed this “bad day”. Thank you for letting us see that and that I’m not alone!
I've had mares for the last 40 years and I can count the times one acted like this on one hand. Never appreciated that but now I feel reeeeally lucky! Thank you for showing the not so good moments. It's always great to how you deal with that and I learn a lot.
We rode our mares with the stud we owned before and after breeding. It’s a matter of expectations for the horses and riders. Purebred Arab stud, mares of various breeds.
Someone I knew years ago had a stallion that did really well in hand or ridden in the show ring. Every time he smelt a mare in season if he popped his bits out she would tell him, you put that away...it worked every time 😂
I was thinking she was in Season. Is Saber still there? If so, she's probably in love! ❤ 😅 My Arab was always a handful in season. My mutt mare NEVER showed signs of it or changed her behavior. She was the best horse of my life! I still miss her. 😢❤
Yeah, it is Sabre lol. I would be in love with him of I was her!💜
Yes he's still here but ita actually Woody she's after but I don't think she is picky. He was closest. Lol.
@@timandersonhorsetraining😂😂
"Woody" Hahahaàa.
Sorry. Not sorry. Funny.
Well done, Tim as usual!
@@timandersonhorsetraining
@@timandersonhorsetraining😂😂😂
How to train a mare in heat would be a good title. All her crying out...
"Dancer" fits her. Interesting ride.
She’s a beautiful mare.
You do a great job with the Arabs keeping their attention on you. Sometimes they act like hyperactive children I think. Love your patient redirections.
He’s REALLY patient. He’s worked with special needs kids/adults and special needs horses then add mounted patrol training ! It takes someone special to be able to do that.
that is why some don't like mares. I have mostly ridden mares. really appreciate your methods of training. Thank you Tim
Springtime. She's in season.
The couple of days right *before* my mare’s first heat in the spring are pretty bad. She gets very vocal like this. There’s something about coming out of anaestrous that turns her feral. Because she’s otherwise amazing, 3 days out of the year I just let her be. If it was a monthly thing I’d push through.
She is also better if I take her to a show or a clinic where she expects to be away from the herd. She’ll still act pissy towards horses that dare to come near her but she loses that ridiculous (and loud) lack of focus that comes from an obsessive need to be with her friends.
You’ve gotten a bunch of black/dark brown horses too…Woody, Phantom, and Dancer.
Ha! I wondered if she was in heat and 13 people beat me to it!
Mostly i cant even tell when my mare is in season. The first season of the year seems to give her problems. I feed her Rasberry Leaf Tea and it seems to relax her muscles. I can feel that she is very tight behind the saddle.
Just started it and in my experience, I swear she’s acting like she’s coming in season. If that’s the case, nothing is going to change for the next few days. lol
What do you mean you don’t know. She’s in season! 😂
Last time this happened my comments about moodiness in season made quite a fee women mad. I was trying to not make as many women mad. Lol.
@@timandersonhorsetraining
OMG. Can't stop giggling.
@@timandersonhorsetraining😂😂😂
Man she is vocal 😂
A lot of work for you with this beautiful talkative mare.
Bet if you'd asked her after, she'd have said something like, "Hey...I took you around and around your little pen today. Be thankful!" 😃 But that's not the purpose of a horse in training, I know. Will she always need an experienced rider to help her through it when she's in season? And does age ever help these sensitive mares settle down any? Thank you.
Most but not all will settle down. Most of the mare that I've ridden and shown a lot I had no idea when they were in season.
She is really beautiful
Thanks, Tim.
Great video! Some days, there are bad days. All I have are mares, this is my life, LOL!
Regarding Arabians' stamina...it's your stamina that is even more impressive!
I remember my old dressage trainer who would never touch a horse's mouth like that. One horse bolted off with him across a field and he ran it into a house to stop it and then continued riding like nothing had happened. Not saying I could do and not saying I wouldn't grab the mouth, but preferably in a snaffle, but it is humbling to watch someone ride like that and get results. I also watched an old cowboy put a big horse who used to buck us kids off to work by dragging logs and hay with him. The horse appreciated us kids after a few months of having to really work. lol She's a pretty horse.
Omg...shes mental 😂
Owned Stallions & Geldings my entire life. Never delt w/this😂
this mare being in season appeared pretty obvious from the very start of this video, due to her whinnying and lack of concentration. I was genuinely surprised you did not mention it initially. I decided she must have already been in season whilst with you and had come out of it and therefore you felt it was not possible that could be the cause of her behaviour. I must say, I am pleased my behaviour analysis did not fail me this time!!!
Interesting to see how you work her off her behavior. Her being Arabian, reminding us she can go all day so wearing her out is a waste of time. Constant redirect to get her brain to engage is the lesson. Also getting her to work thru herself in season or not, need the same results to be a great trail/comp horse. Great lesson here! Also she has Very pretty gait!
Wondering if she usually moves like that? Not fully extending her front legs, keeps her knees slightly bent. Maybe because she’s really tight, and phoning it in? It really appears to me that she’s coming in season. The squeals and calling… we had an appy with hormone problems at my old barn - she was impossible to work with until they figured out how to help her deal with the hormone issue. Any requests were met with sour faced squeals… better now, still has sensitivity but less reactive.
Watch her movement in relation to her resistance. They correspond.
"That time of the month" perhaps?
It'll be interesting to see how eclipse affects them. I am NOT riding lol
If it makes you feel better, I was hanging out with my horses when there was a full eclipse in Casper, WY. They were incredibly calm.
Total eclipses are weird. Birds stop making noise, automatic lights come on, and a cold wind begins to blow. I sure could see how ancient peoples thought the world was ending.
Tim…. If one would keep working on a horse like this would she get better when she comes in season? Or would she always have a problem?
In other words I’m asking if there is hope for a mare to act good during season?
Most would get better
Dancer…this is exactly why I named my Morgan colt..My Smooth Ryder….. ( he is coming 2)..haha.. great job. Lander Wy
spring time!
Was going to say she's coming into heat. I've owner several mares including the one I'm on
You have a lot more patience than I do All of that yelling out the horse is doing is pure out oppositional and defiant That horse will have a hard time becoming a good horse with that attitude Good Luck to you and her owner
She is a pretty thing and you stuck to her and showed her she could safely follow you..
Could you explain wobbles?
She really seems to bounce up out of the saddle. I am 5ft 8" . I rode a 14.2 Arab once and I remember it had a very short joltty stride. Really comfortable. Is that the normal gait for an Arab or is it poor schooling ?
Love your work! Just a point tho… wouldn’t she be better in a snaffle?
No
also had have experience with Arabians. They are a whole different creature . really enjoy your videos. thank you for posting them
What do you do if they lockup. Freeze, wont move.Ears forward, staring at something.
Change directions and move their feet.
is it me or do her front not lock all the way.
looks like they stay bent a touch...
sounds like a mare in season indeed.
nice session and great to see you deal with her misbehaving.
most people would not show this.
thank you
When she whinnies or ears are straight forward for more than a few seconds, redirect her to get her attention back to you. Over and over and over. Thanks.
Haha nice!
I love you & you're training. However, I feel the body weight percentage is off. I've had to go 7m without riding to respect this fact.
Do you use your own saddles or the horses are sent to you with their saddles?
My own except if someone sends a horse and my saddles don't fit.
Wow your patients🙌🙌 not only a mare in season an Arab mare ! The endurance would of given your butt a good workout 😅
That was work.
Curious to know what kind of breeding this arab mare has, with her stamina maybe her owner could get into some endurance type rides
Sure pretty mare, such a stinker. Figured she was in season, very vocal about it!
I think it might be the eclipse. My horses have squirrely the last couple of days.
I never noticed any changes in the horses or dogs around or during the 2017 eclipse.
The birds got quiet during the eclipse toward, during, and coming out of totality.
Mares gonna mare
❤❤❤
I'm thinking if she is in heat/season, then just like us women we would rather be left alone! So why, if we know the mare is in heat/season, can't she rest or at least be on pasture?
Because she needs to learn that it doesn’t matter. She must learn to work on our schedules not hers. If you don’t then you end up with a spoiled brat that could be dangerous. I worked with Arabian mares almost exclusively for 30 years and once you’ve got their cooperation any time they are extremely good performers. It just takes more time and patience.
Poor girl! Those pesky hormones.
She be a looky lou but great looking, and she seems to have alot to say
What do you think of people putting their mares on hormone therapy to prevent being in season ? I personally don’t agree with it (holes in training ?) but you are more experienced and probably have more intelligent input on that
It depends on if there is a hole in training or a hormone imbalance.
If hormone therapy makes your horse safe to ride and makes her feel more comfortable why wouldn’t you do it? There are situations where hormone replacement therapy isn’t effective (the mare still cycles despite the treatment, which is what my mare experienced according to a reproductive vet who examined her). I’ve found that the occasional use of banamine for the discomfort and a daily dose of an herbal supplement called Happ-e-Mare to be highly effective. I’d be inclined to think that if it were a training issue, the holes would reveal themselves (arguably in a more subtle way) even when she’s not in season.
🤣you so funny
Heat maybe? She's crampy 😂
I've read that they do get cramps.
Is she in heat? Ha! I was right!!!
She probably came into heat.
Too much weight on this mare.
DON'T use rotten, cruel spurs on the poor horse! She's not paying attention to you because you're hurting her, with those rotten, cruel spurs! Take them off! I've seen a lady horse trainer on this medium, who trains the unruly horses in a kind manner. You cheat & use pain, the lady doesn't!
Maybe she was in heat, and that's why her behavior changed??
I wish you would show the entire buck and how you rode through it. You cut the videos off too soon when horses act up. I learn a lot when I can see how you react and what you do.
I did in the whole video.
He cut the buck off before she got going by pulling the left rein and disengaging her hindquarters. Tim isn't a rodeo rider, he's all about reacting quickly and preventing it getting worse
It is right after 6:20 they had past the spooky jacket the second time.
He showed the whole event. He doesn’t cut out anything unless something like a potty break is needed. He shows good, bad, and ugly.
Is she in heat?
Get her joints checked because they could be out
So she has been riding good, now today she acts up calling to other horses, I said in the video when I turned her back out she was obviously in season, I don't see your train of though going to sore joints.
is she in heat
Wow! Dancer is being a brat! Never seen a mare act quite this bad! But maybe I have not been around enough to really judge! Wonder about hormone imbalance and wonder if this behavior has anything to so the owner decision to bring her to you to work with? Would never get a good ride if she acts like this every time she comes in season.
Many mare will have a very intense spring first heat. I'm hoping that's what's going on. This is her first heat cycle since she has been here.
Bro ur too big for her cmon
Definitely not..... Bro.
