My hot emotional Arab does so well in a simple snaffle taught to give and get put him on the aides like this guy and he shines! I’m so glad to see western riders now using snaffles there’s just no reason to ride in a leverage bit unless you need it for show or working cattle whatever. I took my worried little gelding in his first parade, and he did amazing and settled so nice just asking him to give in a snaffle. Started the parade crow hopping by the end. I can ride him walking on a loose rein, kids running, candy throwing crowds the whole spooky deal.
UPDATE: This works! She actually relaxed and allowed me to really work with her on head down and relaxing Okay I've got a twh mare who is older (20) and "set in her ways" I've tried it all from tiring her out to just giving her alot of rein and waiting for her to calm down and walk. She bolts backs and side steps when leaving the barn and in the arena all she can think about is the stall I've even rode her into the stall done circles and made her go right back out... I'm out of ideas.. what should I do?? She is sound footed but a bit insane under saddle. I've tried long shanks, short shanks snaffles and even bitless the more freedom I give her the worse she gets I've even tried different saddles from heavy to light and bare back pad to just plain bare back. I've tried different girths also and different bridle styles from no throat latch to a throat latch and 1 ear to a standard head stall... I'm lost...
My message is either tighten up that flank cinch or get rid of it before you get your spured boot hung up in there and he takes you for a ride. Worst case I´v seen was a horse got his foot hung up in there swatting away flys.
I have never experienced seeing anyone accept structured criticism as well as you did Mr. Wilhelm. Especially in Equine people. They seem to always get so defensive! Good for you. You have my respect. In your teaching as well!
You're a good man a balanced rider. But the training is based in breaking resistance. A Morgan horse is seldom a breed that needs to be broken this way and may be better just with a slower more positive based approach. It is somewhat harsh.
In Spain we ride horses with the head further down. But perhaps this horse is too green to lower his head more. Or is it intentional with a lifted head? Because I have seen many American cowboys riding like that.
I have a thoroughbred stallion and when i run *really fast* then when a pass a specific gate no matter the speed he turns and i cant do nothing to get him back in
Wow that horse is foaming HUGE at the mouth ... something is very wrong.. that horse needs to get that thing out of his mouth and needs water fast.. poor horse, super dehydrated .... their poor neck and mouth wow... a horse should never be foaming that much at the mouth horrible.... humans need to get a bit in their mouth and foam like that with metal in the mouth and see how horrible it is .. crazy....
At the end, the Horse starts to relax they have to just work through it sometimes. But I do believe more groundwork can help them relax a lot faster. This horse doesn’t seem to give to the bit very well, which is taught on the ground first and then applied in the saddle in low stress situations and then when under stress they know how to give and it relaxes them fairly quickly. I took my anxious little gelding to his first parade, and because he knew how to give I put him on the bit drove him into the bit with my legs needing no spur and asked him to give and move forward, and by the end of the parade he was completely relaxed. He never braced the entire time always gave to the aids, even though he was scared out of his mind he was not hollow. Candy thrown, kids running… super anxious but I had him engaged the whole time no fighting. It was because he was thoroughly taught the calm down and give cue before the high stress situation.
@@michaelc2509 because the mouth of the horse is wide open Horse head is high. The rider take the reines continue too tight. I can't see no release... Too much iron. And then the spurs... Poor horsie
Emotional pain he’s stressed and anxious being asked to ride out away from the barn. My horse does this a lot in certain situations it’s not physical pain but mental pain aka anxiety being asked to do something that makes them very uncomfortable mentally. These horses have to learn to get over themselves and he’s doing it right engaging the animal, keeping him busy thinking about the rider and relaxing and you can see the horse start to relax after he’s working through his anxiety.
Your treatment of this horse is brutal.... there are way better ways.. that horse is not going to work with you ... nothing here is natural or helping that horse...
Charles, What a class act to admit the need for change in such a kind and humble response. Great to see and you've gained my respect for doing so.
Liberty training for confidence
I have a hot, sensitive TWH. Glad to see you calming him with a snaffle and training rather than making things worse with harsh equipment.

Mark, I happen to agree with you on this, and wont offer any excuses. I'm glad there are people out there noticing these things. Thank you

Horses learn by loving repetition ❤

How do you do this kind of riding without getting dizzy?

Now that I’ve learned a lot about horses, this video doesn’t show that horse calming down, still high head and hollow back. 👎🏻

That horse is in pain and not relaxed at all.

Horse head is high. The rider take the reines continue too tight. I can't see no release...
Too much iron. And then the spurs...
Poor horsie

Do you own a hot anxious horse? I do and this is exactly how you work them through their anxiety.
