Abused Tennessee Walking Horse - Ground Work - Part 1 - Gaited Horse Training

- Many gaited horses have been treated rough. Especially the Tennessee Walking Horse, but I have also had SSH, MFT and RMH come in for training that were abused.
The gaited horses are calm and kind and due to that people many times take short cuts and instead of training them with mild pressure and release and kindness, they over power them to get them to do what they want.
What is left after that, is a horse that has no confidence. A horse that has a high flight response or a high fight response. With time and patience and being very clear with your cues, they can become great horses. But they will never forget.
So if something reminds them of the previous treatment or of the person who handled them roughly then can revert back to their previous high flight and or fight mode. So you always have to be focused when working with them.
With these horses it is best to start with ground work and work through it. This horse tends to fake he is relaxed when he isn't then blows up. You have to take them through it to get to the poor frighten horse that has been hiding inside to turn into a confident thinking horse. Otherwise they are constantly reacting to things instead of looking to the owner or thinking what they should do.
Watch as I rehab this horse into a relaxed willing partner. This takes many months and many years to work through and the owner will have to keep it up and do it at least weekly for the horse to stay calm.
Avoiding the trauma just makes them worse. Slowly you need to show them they will be ok. If you coddle them they will just go over the top of you when they are fearful instead of looking to you for guidance. They need a great leader, not a good one. They need one that is clear and rewards the good behavior and just slowly works through the bad behavior.
That's where you will find the horse you had hoped you bought. He or she is there waiting to see if you are the one that can bring them back out.

It always breaks my heart to hear about abused TWH horses.
They are such people pleasers, doubt any other breed could be
subjected to the pain of big lick. Thank you for the dedication
to this lovely gelding.
Yes it makes me very sad also. Thank you
My TWH is 24 yrs. old and I have had him 10 yrs. He was terrified of EVERYTHING, too and I was such a novice! He is only my second horse, the first when I was 14! I'm 69 now. I watched many videos and did exactly what you are doing. I had to do this for weeks and I still do this once in a while just as a reminder to him and myself that we are on the same team. I remember he would lose his mind in the arena if anyone was lunging their horse and using a lunge whip! I sure had my work cut out for me! I don't know if he was abused, but I do know that I was his 7th owner, (that I could figure out from his registration papers). I couldn't hand walk him by a car or truck even if the engine was off, he would lose his mind! But now I can ride him between parked vehicles, he is still worried when they are moving but I don't know if he will ever be ok with that so I do make him go by them, with a lot of leg and encouragement. People may find these videos boring but it is so important! I told my boy that no matter what, I was going to be his last owner and we have a wonderful relationship now!
Sometimes none of it makes sense until you see what people do with them and how they blow their minds. It's just so sad and then they get past along because everyone just thinks they are nuts but it's just the trauma that makes them that way and no one gets to the bottom. Again thanks for sticking it out and being your horses partner! They are not just things to toss away when people are done with them
I like Saddlebreds, too and am just starting out with Tennessee Walkers
I love the reassurance that he finds in the right answer, and the calmness he gets when you tell him he got it right. Beautiful! You are doing an excellent job with him. He seems like such a lovable boy. He definitely needs the coping strategies you are providing him. I am really impressed with this video.
Thank you
After owning/training/riding different breeds, I discovered that the American saddlebred and the TWH are the most intelligent, willing to please breeds in the equine world. with wonderful personalities.
I agree with you, but he was also looking all around the last few rounds with the body desensitizing. Still jumpy around the neck, but I think he's beginning to understand you don't mean him harm.
that's correct I don't ask for too much too soon with abused horses.
Thank you for sharing how you are working on this horse. Kind of amazing how he’s learned to “fake it to make it”. Demonstrates how stoic some horses can be. How old is he?
12 years old
@@GayeDeRusso was amazing to watch you work with him, thanks for showing an insight of what work it is to try and make life less scary, for his 12yrs makes you wonder what hes seen and endured for years . bless him , can you give updates?
yes I will, thank you
I don’t understand what you’re doing. I have bee training event horses for 50 years and I don’t understand
It's called desensitizing. It is usually not taught in English riding but should be. This helps to teach the horse not to be afraid of things moving around them and to handle it by just standing still and relaxing instead of running away with fear. He has to learn it will not hurt him. But with this horse someone scared him with the rope and the whip so every time he moves he thinks he is going to die. It really does help the horses build confidence in trust, he is already so much better.
