i have been waiting for a notification from you, with your next steps moving forward with kalsi. never too late. i just purchased my first horse, a 15 year old mare, named joka, here in british columbia, canada. i am 56, brand new to horse ownership, but in love with the icelandic breed, and joka. she was sold as trained, but has not been ridden much in the last few years, if at all. when i first got her, i had some rushed, pacey rides, but i managed to get in a few really nice rides, with a quiet calm experience. until, out of the blue, she freaked out seeing the saddle pad, and i have not been able to get a pad, nor a saddle, on her, since. that was about 2 weeks ago. i am not dissuaded though. i will continue to work with her, and through this latest challenge. looking forward to more of your work with kalsi.
Hey! Thanks so much for your comment! Congratulations with your new horse! Sorry to hear you are having some difficulties.. Have you tried positive reinforcement? Praise abs and treat... Just when she shows interest in the saddle... Even on the ground.. Building up to holding it, then putting on top, taking off again.. No pressure or rush.. Just gradually trying to build up the confidence again.. Best of luck!
@@disareynis8136 hello disa. UPDATE: august 6, 2021: after many weeks of baby steps with my icelandic mare, joka, i can say, with great pride (and relief) that yesterday, i had my first full ride on joka. it was fabulous. joka is still a bit worried with the saddle 'ON" and the saddle 'OFF", but once she is tacked up, she is amazing. i am looking forward to moving forward, even further, with my amazing horse. thank you for your input into my journey, and i used your suggestions in my re-training of joka, and it all worked out. i suspect joka will improve more and more, with the saddling, as we continue forward. i am retired, and she is stabled 10 minutes down the road from me, so i get to see her, and work with her every day. and i do. again, many thanks disa. and RE the treats, i have incorporated sliced apple into our training, and give her a slice once we succeed in each step along the way to getting her saddled. i break it down to the basic parts: saddle pad. saddle ON. girthed. stirrups on. reins on.
Thank you so much Disa - really enjoying your videos. Great advice and amazing progress with Kalsi. He looks great! I am always trying to emulate your lessons and have seen great improvement with the lovely youngster I am lucky to ride ☀️ I just love the soft and relaxed way you ride and work with Kalsi - it's a real inspiration to see. Thank you! ❤️
Great explanations, thank you Dísa! I see some diamond shaped exercises, leading reins and importance of weight shifts, balance rider 😃. Keep them coming.
Hi Disa, Thanks a lot for sharing I really enjoy the video. Are you planning to do another one ? I would love to know how you will do to get rid of the pacey tolt/piggy pace :)
Thank you Disa. I love your videos and your style of training . I'm working with my young gelding after having two yrs off. He has had 7 months training and now I am back riding again after hip replacement and starting him over again from the begining. I really like the way you work with Kalsi's topline and have started this with Dynfari a well. Please keep these most informative videos coming. Ps.. do you remember Blika fra Fitjamyri? She is doing great :)
