Benny is a retired Standardbred who has some amazing owners that are looking to give Benny a new life after racing. I've been privileged with the job of helping Benny go from a pacing race horse to a relaxed trail and arena horse. This is part two of a three part series posted to show his owners how he's coming along. These kinds of videos come with all training of horses here at Stable Horse Training.
This is Benny heading out on the trails for walks as it's his first time being out in the open world of trails. He does very well and even goes into running water both times, which is unusual. It's my understanding that Benny has never been out in running water, let alone on trails. So he's doing very well!

I very much appreciated that you explained to your audience that a horse should be walked through the new trails first, and that you can't expect to steer safely from the saddle if you don't first put the ground work into it. Thank you.
Thank you. I definitely talk and teach that to a lot of people as it doesn't seem to occur to some that it's an important piece of the puzzle. Too many people want to just get on and ride out before putting the work in to set things up to succeed.
I have a Standardbred as well, these videos are great to see how they act quite similar in many ways.
I agree with you there. I've had a few come through here and there are many similarities between them. Mostly I find them quite solid and great to work with.
I really appreciated all of the explanations in these videos! I'm a novice working my way up to trail riding with my experienced horse.
That's great! It never occurred to me to do these types of videos and I had only done this for the owner to explain how he's coming along. I've had a lot of very positive feedback so I'll make sure to do more soon. Thanks for letting me know!
He looks so much like my mare!
Good video.
Thank you very much :) I'm glad you enjoyed it
I thought they loved water 💦
May I ask how old, and how tall Benny is? I had a Standardbred X QH cross, and was 16.3 and was sometimes, not often, but there'd be times when he was unsure, even a nervous nellie when he was introduced to something new. He went bonkers the first time he was lunged in a lunging ring, and he was a bit of a dirt stopper to, when learning to jump correctly, but my trainer was extremely patient and was able to get him confident enough over fences, and he finally stopped dumping me at the jumps inside of 3 months. They are remarkable horses.
Benny is 8 I think. About 16.1 or so. Big boy. Standardbred horses are great, I like them a lot. It sounds like you had a good horse there. Nice not to get dumped anymore!
Stable Horse Training yes, so true, we are blessed to have their trust and loyalty, love. I am an amputee and am looking for another horse thats bomb proof and experienced jumper. I am going to a place in Idaho that has just those types of mounts. They have a lot of DHH crosses and a standardbred perch cross, but he's 17.3, guess i could invest in a ladder to?? :) but he's a great looking horse and great fluid movement. Doesn't really look thick in the body, more thoroughbred then anything.
17.3? wow... that's a big horse. Ladder or super duper strong jumping skill maybe.
Well I think once I get back in the saddle, all what I learned will come back to me. I never really forgot what I learned, I know a few people who are amputee equestrians one of which is riding at the grand prix level dressage, her horse was a 18.hh Hanoverian and she was only 120 lbs and 5 foot 5 inches. :) she was missing her left arm. I am 200 lbs and I think it's the best way for me to lose a few pounds. At this point a 17.3 hh horse might be my best option.
I too would encourage you to get at it. Not only is it good exercise to ride but it's amazing emotionally and mentally too. I'm sure you'll do great, just take it a step at a time, go as slow as you need to and accomplish bits and pieces as you go. Build on those successes!
Did you learn about rope halters from Rick Gore?
Nope.
I've always heard that to calm a horse down is let them move. That makes sense to me! I don't know! I'm not a trainer like you are. Seeking comfort from you by getting close is sad to me, don't know why! He did ok I thought.
Yes, I'd like them to move as well to keep them thinking and active and not standing there worrying.
