YES! I did this at my lesson barn with a horse who was sour at the mounting block. I turned the mounting block into a positive experience!!!! Before that the instructor would just stand on the other side of him while students got on:(
I praise you for your kind deed! I wish I could somehow do light training with some of the horses / ponies at the riding school I go to. It's hard when you're just a teen who's only there once a week.
@@iclynnx Thank you! I'm very lucky that my instructor trusts me. I built a very good relationship with her and she lets me do R+ training with the horses and I've help behavior modification with a few. I worked with one horse who would bite. He now stands quietly:) Another would pin her ears and turn away when you went to halter her. she now walks up and puts her head in the halter:) I started once a week, short sessions. Horses are smart. And I had a bad accident and wasn't there for months. The best part is they remembered everything when I came back and were excited for training!!! The proof is in the pudding. I had the background, experience and knowledge to back up my proposals, but the important thing is this is all SCIENCE based. That is a very strong and powerful word! You got this. Start small. Click and treat, then targeting. Show her what you can do!!!
@@annahalko-angemi That's really cool! I used to have a riding instructor I knew more personally, but she had to stop working there. Now I only hang out with her at her own little private stable with her two horses and pack of dogs. I have helped train the dogs for some years now =) Hope you don't mind me telling a little about my own adventures, I am just happy right now.
@@iclynnx Not at all! I love talking to people with common interests and who are interested in training!:) I train dogs too. My biggest success is my own dog, an Australian Cattle dog who I trained using R+. People think they are so difficult and need a firm hand but she is my R+ success story:)
Thank you for the helpful videos :) I was wondering if you knew a warm up exercise you could do on the ground before riding your horse to help them get their head in the zone instead of something like lunging?
The target training stuff would be great for this! You could use it in a similar way to lunging as well, but they would be seeking the target rather than being pressured from the whip. If you teach them how to target cones you could set up a con course for them to follow, or you could use the target stick
What I’m learning is that training a horse is like training a giant dog
I wanted to ask you something. I currently ride a Welsh X Mini pony (her name's Charlotte) that is around the 13hh range (I haven't sticked her so I'm not exactly sure how tall she is). The reason I ride her is to keep her conditioned and saintly for the little kids and specifically my trainer's young daughter. I myself am around 5'9-5'10. She fills leg really well and and carries me well. I still feel a nagging guilt for riding her but she's been responding really positively with me riding and working with her. She first came to my barn with reactive and anxious tendencies and I've been working on relaxation and calmness under saddle and on the ground. She now goes around like a saint but if I don't ride or work with her she reverts back. She's extremely intelligent and sadly at my barn that translates as her being "bad" and "mareish" just because she knows what she can "get away with" (I don't like using that phrase but that's the best way I can describe it). I'm afraid that if I were to stop riding and working with her she would lose her fitness and sanity. I don't agree with all the practices or beliefs of the people at my barn and I prefer me working with her over others who will label her as a "demon pony". It's a tough situation and I'm not sure where to go with it. There are not many smaller or younger riders who are competent enough to do the things that she needs. I would love feed back from anyone who will give it.
Hey those clients horses are so beautiful. And love that little pony. She so cute. She definitely make a cute show pony for little kid. And she goes to a nice kid too. All my love to you and your mom too. Please say hi to your boyfriend for me too.
Duke's little tummy spot 🥺
It’s the cutest surprise ever!
Ahh Sugar is the cutest!
i dont like horses im out
Really amazing way to train a horse to be still when they can’t just do “nothing”.
Will definitely use this in the future.
You are such a kind, wise trainer.
I love this video. You are so fair to these horses and it makes my heart happy! I’m going to be trying a lot of these things with my horses💙
Love the video!! Very informative. I know you’ve been super busy but I miss this kind of content. Maybe a video of Banksy and his training soon? Sending love from Mississippi ❤️👋🏻
Yes definitely! I’m hoping to start working with him a lot more often soon.
This is my favorite type of video of yours too, Shelby. I love seeing all the different breeds and mixes you work with and how quickly they progress -- I can really see the tension leaving that little Palomino mare and how fast she is improving. Seeing horses feeling better and genuinely start to enjoy their work makes me so happy. I bet it is one of the favorite parts of what you do for you too. OMG, Sugar is beyond adorable. I'm sure you'll find her an excellent home. To me she looks like she is dipped in sprinkles of sugar -- someone else here called her a "paintallosa" I think which is also part of her adorableness. You are a blessing to the horse world, Shelby. Thank you for sharing what you do.
i knew luna when she was first started, she was a fancy mare when she was younger and still seems to be
Duke is absolutely gorgeous, love his belly spot! I love everything and anything to do with equine psychology and training, so this was super informational, thank you!
Where do you get your bareback pads? You are very informative in your videos!
The one in this one is the ThinLine bareback pad
Great video thanks for posting! I was also looking back through the Tbird 2021 magazine and noticed you and Milo are in it! Super cool!
That POA is so cute lol pintaloosa too! Very nice, hope she gets a good owner
Thank you! I LOVVVVE your videos!!! I am purchasing an OTTB and needed to learn how to teach her about the mounting block. How long do you continue treats with the mounting block until you can take the treats away?
Must be fun working with so many different animals 😉🐝
That Rose Gold bridle tho 🤤😍
Hello Shelby, can you tell me, do you think it's bad for their back and can they still lift their back, if your bareback (with a pad) I worry about hurting mine, causing pressure areas? And I mean if you hardly ever use a saddle? Would that be unadvisable? I can't find a fitter and worry my barefoot saddle is Abit unstable, thank you! Xx
Your horses are so cute are they all from auction ?❤
Super interesting to see the target training! Thanks for sharing!!
Sugar is such a cute pony! She seems like such a sweetheart.
I want to ask you, or anyone in the comments here, what you recommend, when riding a horse that trots with big, long strides, and you don't want to do pull at the bit too harsh to slow him down? Sitting down to be heavier doesn't exactly work, I'd bounce and loose my balance and move around, which is not helping. He's a real sweet horse, he just used to be trained as a trot racer =) He sometimes shakes his head with the bit, and while the instructor said it's not from pain, I don't want to risk it. I think I know how to handle it better next time already, needed shorter stirrups, but can't hurt to hear some advice if there is any.
Lots of transitions and use circles to your advantage, you can bring him on on a smaller circle to slow down rhythm and then bring him back onto a larger one as he develops a rhythm and stays with it
@@Milestone-Equestrian Interesting, I'll see what I can do with that. I ride in a group of like, 3-4 and the instructor has often set up an obstacle course for us, so it'd be easier to do circles at the square. But he listens well to the reins for turning, so circles are no problem. I already do a few of those already, since we shouldn't get too close to the horse in front. Thanks for the reply, Shelby!
DID YOU SAY ROSE GOLD BRIDLES
