I really appreciated this video. I especially like the commentary and explanations for each step that you are going through. I find it very helpful plus it guides my eyes to the areas that you are working on.
For anyone thinking this looks too difficult, imagine riding a horse like this who's nervous about feeling something behind her back legs. One day a rope, hat, plastic bag or branch will brush against their back legs and then you'll be on their back dealing with this reaction. Wouldn't you rather get her over it on the ground, on a lunge line, in a safe environment
Yes. I mess with my horses just for the sake of messing with them. Trash bags, pool noodle’s, big wedding dress on her back. You name it, it looks weird, we do it. So then I can take her in parades, put a kid on her, etc. I had a Great Dane dog get loose from next door. He made a bee line for me and that horse and he jumped up and put his front legs all the way over her neck!! I thought, “oh sh…t this could be it.” But she just stood there kinda pissed off but she didn’t move a muscle!! It was brilliant!!
And besides people ought not be afraid to ask more of their horse. Being upset for a few minutes is ok. I get REALLY upset when you make me do taxes, but you think the IRS says ok never mind.
Great teaching segment, the entire video has something for everyone and especially starting a horse. Personally, I like the instructions on hand and rope placement, for the driving exercise. Once she matures more mentally, and focus her energy on the task at hand….she’ll crush whatever it is she wants to accomplish. She just seems that head strong and stubborn to the core (in a good way). Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. ❤️
I am not a horseman but I love your videos. I think your kind patient approach can be applied to interactions with many other animals and perhaps may extend into human interactions as well. Glad I found your videos.
what a great session with her. You gave her time to figure things out without making it too stressful. Going to try this exercise when I start my Mustang filly this spring
It’s amazing how quickly you can get them to know what you want from them. It’s a beautiful thing to watch. It really makes me miss my Sugarfoot. I loved him with all my heart. Don’t think I’ll ever get another horse as much as I love them. I love the smell of horses, they smell like spring
Thank you for sharing the detail of ground driving in this video. I'm always looking for new ways to work with my horses. I have one driving, another in training to drive, and a saddle horse. I tried this exercise without stirrups and turrets on the harness for all three! I enjoyed seeing how each responded from the ground. I do ground work and ground drive but the free floating lines on both sides adds another element they had to deal with. I thought this was a great warm up for us after a 5 month winter lay off! Thanks!
I love seeing the horse peeking into the wash rack to check activity! Inquisitive. He wants a shower too! I have seen films of horses “eating” the water when faces are washed
Haha you make the lunging with 2 lines too easy! Its not! Ive done the the line driving, but to get the turns like you were doing is hard for me. Im about to start my 2 year old Drum filly, 16 hands and 1400 lbs already but shes pretty mellow, this video and all your videos really are SO helpful. I will try to stay as calm as you!!!
This mare is a pistol! Not liking to pay attention to you.....whrn she does she protests! Wonder what her bloodline is? She is smart......love her build and she will be nice once she gets to understanding there are boundries.....Lots was missed in her upbringing!!
Can you make a video of walk tort videos and horsemanship with patterns last Sunday I had my horse show I had to do a pattern in horsemanship It was hard and I had to walk to cone A stop back up 4 steps walk from cone A to cone B Tort to a right c keep tort half way walk to cone C stop then tort away let me know if you can do that but I won 1 3 and a other 3
Many other animals make the same sound, deer being one of them. They do it when they are worried to try to make the thing they are worried about run away.
@@timandersonhorsetraining Thanks Tim. Im New to the horse world, and my horse does this from time to time. Most recently during introduction to my dog. They ended up getting along but she was making this sound and I couldnt determine why until now.
I am allowed to ask 3 stupid questions a day , and I would like to ask my last one here and now. Do "unbroke" horses learn in any way shape or form by watching trained horses being ridden? Thank you in advance.
@@timandersonhorsetraining Thank you...great content! Even though I do not ride I find this fascinating. I was on a horse once a long time, his name was Black Boy. He was 18 hands and massive. I was told he was an ex sulky horse that had been pin fired...anyway this horse was an ***hole that liked to bite people on the shoulder by the base of the neck from behind. I did not know any of this before attempting to ride this horse, and I was as green as could be. I think that black boy figured out in about 10 seconds. I had no idea what I was doing and shrugged me off and threw me on to the ground. My so-called friends that set me up were laughing hysterically at me. They encouraged me to get back in the saddle, and I was subsequently thrown to the ground for the second time. That was the end of my horseback riding career. Yes I have new friends now.
It's common on a ranch to take young horses places to become accustomed to the activity, the smells and sounds of the tack or the branding pen or the cows or the hay balers ... when they are with an experienced bunch of horses that is calm they realize it's nothing to panic about. But it doesn't do anything like actual training for a "saddle broke" horse. That is a 1 to 1 session.
I will almost bet that this msre will not take kindly to leg comnsbds and spurs might just really be a problem.....might be a tough learning curve for her. Interesting to watch her......a challenge that is for sure. Not a beginners horse.......at this point.
I just want to say that the word "broke" is the wrong word to use. I use the term "putting under saddle" instead of "broke". It has negative connotations. I gentle all my babies and I have used 2-year-old QH's with 120 days on them as beginner lesson horses. No buck, no fuss. I have been in the middle of an emergency situation with sirens, EMS and Fire Trucks on a 3-year-old and directed traffic on him without using my hands to control him. It's all about trust and working with them in a way they understand.
Broke is not a bad word, it is not like we destroy the horse's will. It means we build trust so the horse is willing to follow commands with as little distress to them as possible.

Thank God for you trainers who are experienced and willing to work this stuff out of those more difficult horses! Kudos to you 👍🏻🤠
She's drop dead gorgeous!!! Just needs some patience and help. So happy it's you doing the right thing by her ❤

Her demeaner walking back to the wash stall was a huge difference from the beginning of the video! Beautiful mare!
You remind me of my grandad, Patience and focus on what she needs to concentrate on. You are one heck of a trainer

Another amazing video! Love watching you work these horses and I always learn something🤫
I agree you have your hands full with this one. Look forward to seeing her progress. Right now she’s a little monster. 😅
I have a great deal of respect for this mans knowledge and understanding ❤

Great work helping this mare! What a good lesson/demo for long lining/ground driving!
This was a great teaching video. It took me back a few years to where some great memories began. Thank you 🙏
I love the fact that you not only have knowledge but also use common sense.
Certainly some big changes in one day. Turning out to be a positive experience for both of you.
Really appreciate your technique.

Impressive amount of learning going on with this one!
I have a 2yo filly I'm doing this with. Today the neighbors were out on their golf cart on their field and she has not seen this before. She was wild!

Great work! She really calms down and starts listening towards the end of the session :)
ugh! that constant walking up would test my patience. Good thing you have tons!
So glad i found your channel!
Really enjoyed watching this session. Great information for training.
What a gorgeous horse!
Beautifully explained.. thank you...🤗🇦🇺😊
Beautiful training ❤
This is pretty much how I’ve trained my driving pony! Shouldn’t be much of a stretch to put her under saddle
Love your work
Excellent horsemanship! Really enjoyed this!

I think it's a lot easier Not going thru the strip than doing so I would do it your way hands down, Lynn 75 in Missouri thanks😊
She will be a Great Horse😊
Brooodmare material, sharp looking,big, picks up feet when walking.
So nicely built
great video,thanks a lot!❤
You make it look so easy lol i still get dragged around my arena 😂
I was going to say what a gorgeous mare and then she became the blowy dragon. 😂😂😂
She's actually very nice now.
Quick learning horse
This is fantastic job. Thank you. How long are those lunging reins are?
25 foot
WOW great job!
Great video !
This mare is a pistol! Not liking to pay attention to you.....whrn she does she protests! Wonder what her bloodline is? She is smart......love her build and she will be nice once she gets to understanding there are boundries.....Lots was missed in her upbringing!!
Do you have a video on training to trailering?
Yes I have several.
I love this horse..she is beautiful..I have one just like her 🇦🇺
With the ones with biting history, have you considered a muzzle? Just until you’ve got them listening to you and willing to keep out of your space
Not necessary.
Can you make a video of walk tort videos and horsemanship with patterns last Sunday I had my horse show I had to do a pattern in horsemanship It was hard and I had to walk to cone A stop back up 4 steps walk from cone A to cone B Tort to a right c keep tort half way walk to cone C stop then tort away let me know if you can do that but I won 1 3 and a other 3

What does the sound (deep rumble) she exerts from her nose when being worked mean?
Many other animals make the same sound, deer being one of them. They do it when they are worried to try to make the thing they are worried about run away.

Consider putting phone on vibrate during filming?
Yes when I remember to.
I dont get the since u get 50/50 mares vs males
She beautifully BIG girl!

You're right but I think she'll cone around.
So would this work if you want to get the horses rear end engaged? She was really working her rear in the trot.
Engaging the rear end requires lifting the shoulders so I do that from the saddle.
❤️❤️❤️

She is not happy with being told to work.
Seems impatient and distracted.
The word broke should be replaced with the word trained.
It's a big difference between broke and trained, definitely not interchangeable.
Broke is not a bad word, it is not like we destroy the horse's will. It means we build trust so the horse is willing to follow commands with as little distress to them as possible.
That's a HORRIBLE term you horse people use. The horse is being TRAINED to ride. You TRAIN a dog! You don't broke a dog! TRAIN a horse!
