Horsey Observing And Quick Mustang Update

- Put a few of the girls together today to see how they'd do, so that was interesting. I also have a quick update in this video on the mustang and a quick tip for those that have horses that drain their water tubs playing in them!

Dandelion roots, can be used in a tea as a detox to cleanse the liver. Steam the leaves for about 10 minutes or so. It will be bitter. Also can be used in a salad. You would need to avoid adding honey or sugar for the health benefits.
Beautiful flowers!
I think I knew that.. but I've never tried it. Have you? I like sugar and honey though.. how come honey would ruin it? Honey itself has great health benefits.
Aweeee shes sooo wonderful!!!
You should climb into a barrel, carve 2 eyeholes, a camera hole or a periscope thingy and see what happens lol.
Excellent idea... they'll probably just come over and knock it over anyways though. If I jumped out they'd probably kick me...
I have a question if you're not too busy:
We own two horses, one is a twenty year-old quarter horse gelding and the other a nine year-old standard bred mare, and these are the only two horses we've ever owned in my life. Even though I've loved horses since I was born, we never had the money to go for lessons or trail riding, let alone buy one. So when we were gifted the gelding a year or so ago, it was a miracle. He is the sweetest thing and taught me a lot about trusting horses; he never ever kicks and is gentle and patient (Later our income increased and we were able to adopt the mare). I'm not afraid of them, that's not my problem. My problem is, being very new to horses, I'm not confident that what I'm doing is right. This means if a horse misbehaves they often get away with it, as I don't want to do something wrong and possibly make the horse nervous around me. Alright. Finally, my question is, which is more important: the horse having good manners and respect, or me taking the time to learn to understand their behaviours and not ruining my friendship with them? Is it alright for the horse (namely the mare; the gelding is fine) to pull on the lead rope or step in front of me until I am more confident? Can I try to school her in ground work and leading, even if I might do it wrong?
And thank you so much for your videos, they've been a huge help to me!
You're very welcome for the videos, I'm glad they are helping you ☺️ it takes time to get confident and along the way you're going to make mistakes, and that's ok. It's always possible to fix them, so don't worry. It is more important to have a horse that is nervous of you than too confident and walks on you. That is the beginning of biting, pushing, running over and kicking. You don't want them nervous though obviously which is where the unending reassurance comes in. Being the lead in your herd is imperative to your safety, and sometimes theirs. So more than friendship, you need to be the high horse first. Then you can be good friends. Lots and lots of groundwork. Keep moving their feet in more and more precise ways and locations. Takes time 🙂
Thank you so much!
I enjoy groundwork anyway so I'll keep up with that!
You're very welcome
Peggy is beautiful! Have you ever put all your horse in the arena at once?
I think we had five or six in at one time a while back. It's about finding the right mix of horses that get along well enough. Takes time to make a good herd sometimes.
lol! aweeeee mannn... those Canadian Zebras you just can't train em .... Zeus controls the weather
hahaha... True enough!
You need to get some pictures together Horses/Frogs /flowers /Sunsets /Dog and make calendars to sell
That's a really nice idea. I know somebody who'd probably want to do that too, I'll mention it.
Spring is most definitely in the air. Both my horses & my dog are very lively at the moment. Lots of fun! Beautiful bluebells (at least I think they’re Bluebells!) Can’t wait to hear Lena’s full story. I really like her. She’s definitely a “my cup of tea” type of horse, chunky, funky & very beautiful with a lovely demeanour!
I don't know what they are, but bluebells sounds good to me! She's amazing, I'll see if I can tell her story as well as she deserves.
What nobody wanted Lena why she’s freaking gorgeous. Its getting so beautiful around your place beautiful green grass which I bet them babies would love to have a bite. Good morning Luke and Wildfire. I haven’t seen a horse you have that ain’t stunning. I know I’ve been wondering what’s going on ain’t seen anything in a couple days. Good puppy. I love the dog.
I agree. I'll put together a story pretty soon here and then you'll know :) Yes, very very green now. I love spring and summer here, everything fills in quite nicely.
Springtime in B.C.! Curious: since corners are a problem with horses, why not round off all the corners with an angled piece of fencing, at least in the arena? Could be useful in all the paddocks as well. Which leads to another question: why do you not use the round pen method?
That's an excellent question since there are some people that go through the effort to do that. It's a big topic but I think I can say that for a roundpen, the lack of corners really helps the human. Horses are happy to go into corners, it's the pressure from behind they struggle with. I have thought about a roundpen here as more than anything I just want an area that I can work that I can cover. It's so expensive to cover the whole arena. I'll try to answer this one in a video, but the short version is that I always want to see if a horse will be with me through choice. I'm not sure if roundpens offer that properly as they are small and make it difficult to switch directions or evade sort of thing. Not that I don't see the benefits of course.
I look forward to that discussion. They don't have a choice if they are on the end of a rope, as in lunging; that's when it seems the round pen would free them and you up a bit. I know horses have no problem with corners except when they feel trapped there by people or other horses. Lots of pros and cons, I suppose.
That's true, although I have seen a few horses for sure that can get that rope out of the handler's hands. Almost happened to me today. No footage of it though. That said, I did take some drone footage today to show you how little I personally need a roundpen. You'll see, I'll try to get a quick bit about that up here tomorrow to describe why. Being trapped by another horse by being in the corner is a great learning experience for the trapped horse. If it's by human, the human is plenty smart to not have to trap them...
What's the announcement? Driving us crazy......lol.......that indoor arena in Vancouver?
what indoor arena in Vancouver?
pOlder video "Doing groundwork with a horse using direction and drive" dated March 8,2017.....thanks ......i'm just guessing Vancouver....probably not...I don't know B.C. sorry. Your in an indoor arena......your pacific time i'm central time.....2 hour difference......
Nice video - I’d like to know if the flies can effect a horse and make him active and how can you monitor that? Thanks much.
Yes, flies can drive horses absolutely nuts and it can really affect your ride or work with them. I'm not sure how you'd monitor it outside of observing how irritated they are and when they're not paying attention to you because of it.
Do you have a video on, if you are out on a trail and a bird fly's out or a coyote runs across and the horse react 2 that. What do you do and do you need a bit to go on a trail ride.
I don't have one specific to that, but I do randomly talk about here and there. It's hard to catch everything but you can catch a lot if you're paying attention. The rest is all about the consistency with them on how they respond to your requests. That takes time and it takes time for them to put full trust in you for that.
Stable Horse Training, ok thank you. I'm asking because I have a friend who, says you have to have a bit to have more control.
Ah, sorry about that, forgot about the question about bits. I think I talked about bits in this video th-cam.com/video/PvTJcqOZxWQ/w-d-xo.html in the Q&A of March. The short answer is "no". Bits do not give more control, it's a myth. There are plenty of people that not only have less control but also ruin their horse's mouths, teeth and minds by using particular bits. The control comes from the mind, not via pain. That takes time though, most people don't want to take the time to get accuracy without pain. Some strive for it though, those are the people that migrate this way to learn and observe. Some even come here to help teach it :)
Stable Horse Training, thank you.
Good Morning
Hey thanks! Good morning to you too :)
