Love that the horse in the background is just side-passing away while pacing the fence! I like that technique of only letting her stand still when the pad is on. It makes so much sense! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing an example of how you tailor your training methods to each horse's needs. It is very helpful for those of us who are working thru issues with our horses and it's also very interesting!
My Arab mare was shown at halter by me (5th in the nation as a three year old). That showed she had correct confirmation. She made a great horse in both English and western classes and a really fun trail horse. Form follows function.
This mare us really put together nice. Again a horse with a few holes in her education. Moving a horse through certain steps engaging the body and moving the body without the brain understanding can put a horses mind in a negative space. Looking forward to seeing her engage mentally.....think her attutude just might get better. Following a cow will probably be part of her regime!!!?? She may have been just being handled like an ornament instead of a working horse....
How do you break or avoid a biting habit? I’m currently working around border horses that bite and have never encountered this before so it’s all new to me. I’m just amazed that’s it’s tolerated. Thanks
Biting is a symptom. First you have to determine the cause of the symptom. Could be ulcers, poor fitting saddle, poor fitting bridle, riders with poor hands, riders with poor seat, poor eating schedule, or one of a bunch of other things.
People may not like what I'm gonna say, but in my opinion, horses shouldn't be bred just for halter classes, not in any breed, and especially Quarter Horses. What earthly good is that horse if it can't be used for some task?
She's bred for halter but she's nowhere near as extreme as some of them. She still strikes me as built in a fashion she can be sound and useful, even if it is just as a saddle horse.
It used to be that the same horse that stood Grand in the morning would show in under saddle classes in the afternoon... Then Impressive came along and changed the class. Not saying that's good or bad, it's just what happened.
@@southernhorseman2006 all horses were getting more specialized. Impressive for halter horses, Doc Bar for performance horses, Dash for Cash for timed event horses. Everyone has their preferences.
@@southernhorseman2006 I was taught early that a virtue carried to excess becomes a fault. In the case of Impressive it was obviously bad because of the genetic damage done. But he also gave rise to the "fatted calf" ideal we still see today and encouraged the separation between halter horses and horses that can do an athletic job. This mare doesn't quite fit into that category but I'd still like to see a little less bulk on her than she's packing - solid or not.
Our red roan, Hancock bred mare, greyed out as her life went on. When she reached 30, she was almost completely grayed through the body and less in head and legs.
This horse very definitively carries her tail to the left when walking forward. In addition, the nearly constant tail swishing would indicate to me she has some pain somewhere in her back. I would suggest a good chiropractor can help this horse tremendously and you could see a huge ‘attitude’ change for the better.
A good chiropractic evaluation is always a good thing. Too bad there are so many around who aren't good. I've seen many that harm or do nothing, just like most of the equine massage/bodywork people these days. The one I use watches horse move first with no info on horse. Then checks with hands. Only one I've seen that has said nope this horse is good doesn't need anything. He also adjusts what needs it in 5 minutes or less.
Asking the horse to walk, trot, canter while on a long lead around the trainer. It is basic beginning groundwork so the horse will start to learn respect and accept leadership. These are essential to the early training and usually are carried on through until the horse has learned advanced lessons.
She has decent sized feet. She's sinking an inch or two into the arena sand, which is a similar color as her hooves, so only the upper part of the hoof is showing.

Bet that mare's in heat. Maybe she's been bred, and thinks that's what the trip is all about.

Nice looking! Really stands square. Patience is a virtue!
Very interesting about lunging in a circle and behind a golf cart I never knew that or thought of it so thank you
One of THE MOST educating videos I've seen in your series. Even I sweated! 40lb saddle...😰 Thanks Tim!
She has that " I don't want to do that" attitude.
Well done. 👍👍
Ever train for hobbies? Comes in handy if out in a pasture & you need to take care of something.....or to saddle w/o the need to tie off...
I do but a horse should be able to be saddled without being tied or hobbled.

All horses are bred for a purpose and we may or may not agree with that purpose but if there was no demand then they would not exist.

Is she in heat? Not an excuse, but some mares think it is!
@timandersonhorsetraining she is a quarter horse, but it looks like she has a frosted coat which I've not seen. What is that?
She is a red roan. It's a common color.

I do not believe that is the reason for what she is doing with her tail.

The classic expressing her displeasure with her tail lol. @@timandersonhorsetraining
my mares do it just to be sassy
Animal Cracker? 😊
What is Lunging, new to horses
Asking the horse to walk, trot, canter while on a long lead around the trainer. It is basic beginning groundwork so the horse will start to learn respect and accept leadership. These are essential to the early training and usually are carried on through until the horse has learned advanced lessons.
That big body on those tiny feet😨
She has decent sized feet. She's sinking an inch or two into the arena sand, which is a similar color as her hooves, so only the upper part of the hoof is showing.
That can be a big problem with some QH bloodlines.
