#horsetraining #ridingponies #saddlebreakinghorses
Hi everyone! Thank you for your lovely comments. There will be a part two with the trot and canter work, just have a bunch of other projects in the works, too! But it’ll be out eventually so keep an eye out.
Also, check out my new line of saddle pads here, big release of something new coming soon 👀 www.amoreequestrian.ca/milestone.html#/
Do you have any tips for a green horse that won't walk forwards?
Ponies are so much fun when you train them right. I think people don’t like them because they have a stubborn streak, since most people I know put beginners on ponies (?)and they learn bad habits, I would much rather have a beginner on an actual horse not pony. Bon bon is so cute, I love the feathers on his fetlocks lol
Bon bon is the cutest little thing🥺💗
Adorbs!
Yes!!! 🥺💖
God i miss horse riding but i’m too overweight to ride at the moment, it’s literally my only motivation for loosing weight is to get back into horse riding
Good luck with your goal! Remember to be gentle to yourself, health comes first ❤️
Good luck! Something that helps me with goals is reminding myself why I'm doing it; maybe make a nice inspiration board with old pictures of you riding or something like that!
@@anakruger2412 that actually sounds like a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion!
Bon Bon is well named, such a sweet boy!:)
Really lovely, sympathetic training. Also his mustache is really adorable.
That part where the voice over overlapped tho-
My SPD (Spacial progressing disorder) is screaming
I have a disorder too, where I can get sensory overload, and man, that voice overlapping reminded a lot of a public space, like a mall, full of people, but instead of it being a background buzz, it was right in my ears. Oh well, easy to make mistakes while editing!
Yah it was really upsetting does anyone watch these back before uploading because Christ that was awful. And I DONT have sensory issues
@@iclynnx Sure absolutely bit as with writing a paper papers you should either review it or have someone check it before you upload.
Really NICE horse centric training video Ms. Shelby!!! Every horse is different & every horse/ pony has different reward centers. So appreciate that you GET that!!! Yaaay you. What a nice backing experience you gave that pony! 👏👏👏
I love this video! Just curious, how do you like your Pivo? I just ordered one because I find videos of my riding super helpful for learning what I can improve and think it'll work better than always trying to find someone to video for me.
I like it but it does lose track of people if there’s numerous horses in the arena or sometimes if there’s lot of jump standards
@@Milestone-Equestrian Good to know! I normally ride early or late, when the arena is mostly empty, but I'll keep that in mind once I get it and start using it. Thank you for responding!
Good Evening Shelby . And mom. Bon Bon. Is wicked cute. Are you guys going to keep him for awhile? He is really doing good. For the first time. And second time. Hope to see more videos. Of him real soon. All my love to you Selby And your mother. Love you guys
Thanks! He’s just here for 30 days training.
Can you make a video on bits?
I made this one here: th-cam.com/video/SRsCELSVNsg/w-d-xo.html
He's so wooley and cute! And also has a great attitude. His mustache looks like Prirot's !
Poirot? From the book and TV series, about that French detective? Never expected to find a reference of that here, ha ha! Yeah, Bon Bon does have a very nice moustache =)
Shelby this is gonna sound really weird but can you explain how you fall safely, I’m pretty sure it’s a lot of peoples fear is falling off and breaking something so if we know how to do it correctly then we can build confidence.
ok..so it will take some time to learn how to fall correctly since a lot is happening in the moment you fall off. first, remember to LET GO OF THE REINS. also, sometimes in the moment before you fall you have a few seconds to think...take your feet out of the stirrups because falling cleanly hurts less than getting dragged. if you have a padded gymnastics mat or even a mattress practice falling (I know it sounds weird), and try to practice NOT putting your hands out to block you when you fall.
Loved this video and Bon bon the cutie! Just letting you know at 22:33 ish you have an audio overlap. It’s pretty short but I figured you might want to know.
Dude he's got a legit mustache 😍😍
That's the simplest explanation on how to teach a horse to ground drive I've seen. Thank you, this was really helpful!!
What a cute pony! He seems like such a level-headed little guy. 😍
What a cutie. I see shedding season has arrived 😂
OMG 😮 he is way too cute!!!! 😍
Aww he's got a mustache lol
Loved it as usual Shelby Dennis!! Change one thing at a time and you'll always be able to stay below the High Stress/Anxiety level. Or that is what I've found. Best Regards and Stay Safe Everyone!! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦🇨🇦
That was so lovely watching that beautiful little pony. He is such an adorable little pony can see kids really enjoying him . 🤩🤩🤩🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Love it 😊
My gosh Bon Bon is just so good, laid back, and levelheaded! He is definitely going to be an amazing kids horse, especially with the way you train! 💛 (And can I just say, I didn’t realize how small he was until you ponied him next to Percy 😂)
So adorable omg, I love his feathery big feet
❤️❤️❤️
Cant wait to finish this video through! I do have a question though for you Shelby if you wouldn’t mind me asking: what brand/type/ and/or series is the exercise saddle you are using, or one that you recommend for starting horses out? I’m helping out with a few horses and I’m really wanting to get then started under saddle real slow because of there’re all 3 quite nervous by nature. 🙂
I’m not sure! I got it for $40 at a tack sale so I would just recommend getting one second hand from a racehorse trainer
Can’t wait to watch! :)
🙌🙌💕💕
i'm looking for a Gypsy Vanner and this dude is not helping with my obsession
What a pony! He looks like a muppet☺️
I love that you where doing the YMCA while on him
Was Milo still growing after he turned 3?
Yes, all horses are still growing after turning 3
Just bought a filly she’s 3 years old and she is quite strong like not to much but a bit pullish she is unbroken so this video will help me break her in but any tips for horses that pull
How thick is the trust bit in mm? I couldn’t find that info on their website
I used to loan a horse that was ridden with specific verbal cues:
• 'come round' for left, 'get round' for right, and 'back up' for backwards
• 'get up' for faster, and 'woah' for slower (within a given gait)
• '[gait name]' for transitions, and '[name]' for gaining attention
I preferred this for my leisure riding as he would do what you tell him with minimal aids most of the time. Why is this sort of thing not typically used in English leisure riding? (I don't know about Western)
Vocal cues are definitely used in English riding, I teach verbal cues from the ground prior to get on anything. I definitely wouldn’t say it’s unusual in English riding to use vocal cues
He's so fluffy and cute! I love his face markings. That kid is going to have a wonderful pony
I loved this walk through! Thanks for sharing with us. I'm eager to share my young ones journey from ground to saddle as well ;)
Wow! Your such a wonderful horse trainer. Seriously! I love your videos. GreatVideo and GreatJob! And what a beautiful horse he is.
PeaceAndLove
Lori
I loved this video !! I have a vaner ( we say cob) and she's a hoot !! Lots of gorgeous fun to be around . I really wanted to teach her to pony but didn't quite know how to go about it so this vid was great xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I love how flexible you are in learning new things yourself and also teaching us! these videos are really helpful, especially to a person who is striving to learn as much as possible about horses and how they work and how to work with them
Omg he is the cutest pony ever. His little owner is very lucky
This pony so chill he soo cute
He’s sooo cute!! 😍😍
How do you teach the flexing on the ground? 💙
I show this in the ground driving portion of this :)
You are one of the most talented horse trainers I've seen in a long time - and I've worked with an Olympian, one wee suggestion I've learned recently, you're standing too close to the ponies back end, I've seen a pony recently that gives no behaviour indications about anything - he kicked out even though he'd been long reined for 20 years. When teaching it can help to have someone at his head. Not a criticism just a lesson I learned. Laura
Thanks so much! The reason why I stand close is actually because if they do kick, then they cannot fully extend to get a powerful kick in but I wouldn’t stand that close with a kicker. Bon Bon is very tactile and scratches are a positive reinforcer so I have to stand close to give him scratches to reinforce :)
@@Milestone-Equestrian sorry if that came off as one of those "I know it all" shitty TH-cam comments. It wasn't meant to, I've just seen horses spook so easily recently, from young to old. My disability and pain control is poor just now, I need to learn to explain what I mean more, never mind You have a lot more equine behavioural experience than I do. Is he a gypsy cob out of interest?
(Did you get my insta message? No worries if you've changed your mind) take care, Lx
needs a treeless saddle
There’s actually a ton of information pointing to negative implications with treeless, so great if it works for you, but certainly not foolproof enough to blindly recommend to everyone! I also think you may be hard pressed to find a trainer that will include a free brand new saddle with training, but best of luck :)
@@Milestone-Equestrian There are a lot of really poor treeless saddles, but there are also good ones, and any saddle needs to work with each specific horse, but horses look so happy with a good fitting treeless. Needs some stability and structure--the slippy ones can be a problem and fit.
@@OWK000 Again, glad it’s worked for you, not really a relevant comment here unless you want to buy this pony a saddle, then by all means, I would happily accept your generous donation.
@@Milestone-Equestrian Somehow I feel like I may be verging into crazy vegan girl territory that doesn't even think horses should be ridden at all, but I will stop short of that, especially as BonBon looks very sweet and really happy to be engaging on this journey with you (especially in those last shots when the saddle is off). But I believe in a world where all horses have sound happy backs encased in good quality treeless saddles that fit right and their owners know how to perform horsey yoga and acupressurey chiropractic grade massage on/with them. No pressure, just a thought (fantasy). Peace love out.
@@OWK000 Cool. My dream is just happy horses in whatever saddle fits them and works for their intended purposes. Achieving it pretty well right now and have been working closely with one of the leading saddle companies on the market that had been promoting this very thing. Treeless isn’t the only way and in all honesty, you’re only going to damage your message by going about it in the manner you are. Cheers.
