Kalsi frá Thingeyrum was imported from Iceland to Ireland few weeks ago. He was trained a bit as a 5yr old but has spent last years outside in a herd, doing little but being a horse, getting fat and playing with his mates. He is overweight, pretty calm but can also be a little sensitive. Kalsi had very limited knowledge of leg aids, side way movements or any bending really when he came, also tends to be too high in his head carriage and poke his nose up when rider touches the reins. He is learning to be more between the aids, and this video focuses on light cues and explains more about getting control of the topline. We start with some groundwork and move on to riding a little too.
The first 4 videos followed the first week training Kalsi after he came to Hestakot, but these next videos will be focusing on various topics like groundwork, topline, improving the beat in the tolt, finding a stable trot, canter exercises and more..

Hi Dísa
I would love to see a new video of Kalsi and you
Love your videos, Disa! Basics are always relevant. 😄 I think you're waking him up, into a more responsive fellow. Many excellent tips, techniques about the topline! Thank you.
Thanks so much for your comment! Really glad you liked it!
Thank you Disa. Love seeing the progress in Kalsi - you make it look so easy. ⭐
Could you pls explain in more detail how you "get their shoulder"? How do you teach a young or inexperienced horse to leg yield; what aids/cues do you use specifically, for example when Kalsi doesn't understand and stands still, before he then gets it and crosses over a few steps? Thank you 🙏
Hi and thanks for your feedback!
I usually start from the ground.. Applying some "tickling" cues on shoulder and front part of ribcage as limiting the forward movement, having slight bend towards me.. If needed you can use a fence to help you with the "limiting forward movement ".. Reward with dropping all cues and praising as soon as rhe horse even shifts weight the way you ask... Also then if lifting leg.. Building up to crossing over. From saddle, similar.. Light cue, use tickling whip if needed.. Limit forward possibility.. Reward anything in the direction of what you want... Don't ask for a whole step at first!
Best of luck!
Can they be ridden bareback in the outdoor arena?
