- This video explains how to handle a horse that refuses to move or go forward. When dealing with a horse that is stubborn, it's usually due to a lack of training, rider error, fear, pain or a lack of respect. This is how I handle a horse that refuses to go forward because of a lack of respect. Hope this helps and thank you for watching! I upload a new video twice a week. Consider Subscribing, alot more Horse Training and Learning to Ride videos on the way!!

Thanks, Jami! You have a way of explaining things so clearly and concise and it really helps me.
I definitely needed this! My horse is great and listens really well on the ground- but under saddle I just don't follow through enough and she doesn't respect me. So thank you for sharing this!
Wonderful!
Thanks for another video Jami!
Sorry. Got called away before finishing my initial post. I just gotta say, "Thank you for another helpful video."
Important helpful story and solution, nice one❤
Yet again it isn't really the horse, but it's the person that is the issue. Horse would be fine if was yours. I hope your friend can accomplish this training for a good partnership from your advice. First time on channel. Subscribed.
Good video...this is why people should learn the principles of ground work and most especially beginners....it just sounds like this was a trained horse but like almost all of them if they are dealing with someone who is too much a beginner and does not know how to assert themselves/ride well without enough skill in the right amount of pressure and timing in release, just got confused and started to take things in their own hands, as it was clear the beginner was not enough of a leader. This is a great example of why you need lessons as a beginner because even if you buy a beginner, trained horse, if you don't know what you are doing you can ruin a well trained even quiet horse...there are very few horses that are idiot proof and most of those will just be so old they just go on auto pilot from a lot of experience with people and don't have much energy to cause a fuss.
That's why many old horses are the best for beginners and are exactly what they need.
Sadly, many people go for the flashy young horse that ends up disastrously for the horse and the human too usually.
The worst are the parents who buy a young horse for their beginner kids. I've heard it 10k times, "they can grow up and learn together". I've seen too many of those to count at sales that have learned all the bad and end up on truck to Mexico....unless a random horseman saves them.
The one thing I will add to this even though this video outlines the right long-term solutions...if you are in a real jam and don't have any room to circle and disengage the hindquarter etc. and are under real time pressure for some reason instead of using your legs and kicking...just reach back and slap them on the butt, or if you have a crop, or even a hat take it off and use that on the but..this oftentimes will push them forward, but don't get in a fight with them if it does not work..but, for certain don't use that technique as a crutch, go back to basics and get the groundwork in etc. Bottom line, never get in a fight with a horse...if you find that happening realize the horse is NOT well enough prepared to be in the situation you are in and simply does not know how to answer the question properly....you must go back to basics if you feel like you are going to be getting into a fight, losing your temper on a horse is never a solution...you can't project human emotion onto them like they are just being stupid or stubborn you must speak their language not expect them to speak yours.
A very similar thing happened to me this week, only I am thinking the refusal is because of fear. I'm thinking fear because the horse will stop in nearly the same spot, gawk to the left (tree area, like she's waiting for an ambush) and than refuse to move forward. The weird thing is, there are horses all around and they are just as relaxed (so it makes me wonder if it could be lack of respect??). A few days ago, she refused, not knowing what to do and not wanting her to think I was giving in, I spurred her a few steps forward, turned her around and stopped her for a second.
