Every day in the saddle, small steps forward every day and my horse become confident too, in new environment for her. Thanks for your videos they help me much.
She reminds me a lot of my horse. He's got anxieties about new things but keeps it pretty well-hidden from casual observation, and walks through pressure when he feels like he needs to leave the situation. I've had trainers with him completely miss the fear/anxiety and interpret the walk-through as purely aggressive. What you said about needing to gradually increment, e.g., trail rides really resonates with how I'm trying to fine-tune my approach with him. Thanks for the video!
She's come a long way from the horse who thought the cows were going to eat her! lol. She's a darling mare. A lot of work still to be done but she has made tons of progress. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you.
She is a sweet mare. She has a really good mind and I don’t detect much, if any, bad memories manifesting in her demeanour. I hear you trainers talk about holes that other people have left but this girl doesn’t seem to have any. She’s been a halter horse and I suspect that the training for that was fairly gentle as well. I hope she never runs up against an awful human. I look forward to your thoughts on this. My experience isn’t vast by any means but I have seen a few and varied situations in my time just the same.
The main hole in her training appears to be how she pushes forward without being asked and doesn't respect people's space. It's a fairly basic thing that should be taught early as a safety measure... my weanlings and yearlings know not to push into people's space the way she does. Any one with good horse knowledge would have taught her not to crowd people when she gets anxious like that
Can I ask a question, I have a rescued standardbred here in New Zealand, he hzs been ridden a couple of time's but not by me, watching when he has the bit in he chews on it constantly, what kind of bit would you start with on him, one like your using? D-ring snaffle? I also want to thank you for your videos, I've only just started watching them, I've found them so interesting and I'm learning alot from them, thank you for making it possible for people like me to learn
This mare is a real project. She is a bundle of nerves...hoping all the routine gets through to her. Maybe she needs to wear a saddle for a day or so. Sad that she has so much emotion about this. A learned thing from earlier handling? Or training was rushed... maybe not for a lot of horses but for her. Some take longer.....to really "exhale" and learn.
nice to see how mare can gain confidence so quickly.... she feels listened to but still is complying more & more
Golly day you have soft hands!. I worked and worked on that.
Good diagnosis of her stress & anxiety with pressure. Another great lesson.

Your calm, patient demeanor is very inspiring!

Excellent progression from beginning to end
Great lesson full of whisdom.
love your videos how open and transparent you are and actually use horses with problems and the steps you take to train them properly. thank you!

She is a beautiful mare.
5.23 I’ve been around them my whole life and never saw a horse do that. ??? You showed a lot more patience than I would have.
That is very common with first saddled babies.
As always, a very informative video!
Not only is she pretty, but she's a tall girl. Didn't notice it in the first video.
Thanks Tim!

you must be enjoying that cover on the arena--what a beautiful facility you have--love the open airy barn
Thanks for a good lesson

Thank you for watching. Bit is going to depend on the horse. Whatever bit he needs to gain confidence in your hands.
NIce mare- great information-thanks again
