This was very useful for quiet weanlings. I'll definitely use these methods... but right now, it's spring, my 11 month old went from a sweet easy to lead weanling to a fire breathing yearling over the icy winter... now my leading sessions consist of her trotting in circles around me, occasionally rearing, though thankfully not striking. Do I just have to wait until she's not nuts with spring fever, or is there a safe calm way to progress with training without frustrating us both?
To a degree it is pent up energy but defiantly needs some ground work. Please explore my youtube videos and see if any help or join our patreon site. I have a complete colt starting series and about 50 other videos. www.patreon.com/remounthorsemanship
Thanks for the good video. It's been very helpful and resultfull for some 3 year olds that I brought that have never seen halters or a rope before. Thanks
hi i have a suggestion for one of your videos do vid for an old horse that dose not want to lead i need help with my 12 year old mare she is going to have a baby in february i don't now it is because she is pregnant or not plz do a video.
My baby (14 week old colt) leads well most of the time, but what do you do on the days when he doesn't behave so well? What do you do when he's running all around you and tossing his head and invading your space?
I can answer most questions with it depends but…You have to remember they’re still super young and full of energy bursts so don’t take it personally and I wouldn’t necessarily shut them down harshly unless it’s a matter of self protection. If they are invading your space make sure you make it uncomfortable to be there, flap your arms and drive them away. One thing I do a lot is drive the front end around. Make sure your on the outside of the hirse and drive the nose then shoulders away from you. They need to learn to yield to steady and driving rhythmic pressure. Also maybe let them burn some energy off in a round pen before you work on those things.
I love that barn
What a cute little guy!
He’s matured into a gorgeous guy!

I’m currently in the exact same position with a fire breathing dragon
I am also. My colt leans into me and actually tries to jump on me to the point that he is dangerous.

Darren Goldfinch glad it helped you. Thanks for watching.
Real nice mind on that one!
Nice reach under his belly with the inside hind leg, too; I bet he turns out to be athletic. :)
I’m glad you’re liking the videos John. Yes I think he’ll be very athletic! Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
@@remounthorsemanship6592: it's a real pleasure to see good work; keep 'em coming!

yes please! I have a very forward "spotted saddle horse." She may be part paso fino or arab, she has a tiny, beautiful head.

How long daily would you need to do this until pony learned to lead correctly ?
IMO On a youngster like this a 20-30
Minute session would be good. Or even two short sessions each day.
