i watch this and smile during the video...i dont know why pretty much of everything!!such a beautifull horse by the way!!thank you for this lesson mr Craig!!
just because someone is wearing spurs, doesn't mean they're using them - some people actually know how to wear/use them correctly and know what they're doing
There is no "wrong" side to mount and dismount a horse. Your horse should be used to everything equally on both sides. What you do on one side, you should be able to do on the other side without the horse freaking out.
I am currently training 4 horses right now for an old couple and in exchange they will give me 1, I will start riding them tommorow, they're all gelded and they are super lazy this video helped alot, the way he communicates with the horse is remarkable
I learn by my mistakes. And I don't hold the rope like u do. I take the rope, and curl the end how ever many times I need to. That way all my fingers are out of the rope☺️
My pops got so frustrated with our horse he gave him to me ...all I did was be gentle with him cause I knew and tell my kids,a horse paralyzed superman. I never had a problem.
What happens if u get on and the horse is ok with the mount but as soon as your on the horse takes off? Lets say the horse is bareback and everything so it's ok but u can't catch him again. Would this be a big set back in training? This is what I'm most afraid of
I'm a horse rider and my horse was a wild one that I saved he's a Clydesdale called Stamina because he is full of energy and I tought him by myself :) I trust him and he trusts me. I love him dearly! x
At my barn, the owners husband decided to take a horse he was breaking on a trail ride, rather than trying him out in a ring. Needless to say the horse was all over the place and i had to take thet lead with him yelling the directions. We told the owner (his wife). Needless to say he didnt do that again 😂
Kevin Young yup if you did your ground work it’s good to leave it on get them used to it from the start and as far as spurs go you can be way softer with them then without if you are not an idiot
If I were riding a young horse for the first times, I would wear a helmet and a protective vest.......any horse is capable of any behavior at anytime......more cowboys in the old west were killed by horse accidents than six guns.
Pretty much the wrong way to get on for the first time or any other time for that matter. Stand at the left shoulder by the near front leg facing the rear of the horse and swing on . The way he shows it if the horse blows up and jumps ahead your left way back and out of position where you can get kicked. I'd get rid of the spurs too. Unless he's gonna rope something right away what is the rope doing on the saddle? It'd be pretty easy to get hung up in that if things start to get interesting.
@countrygirl21491 I do know the purpose of head turn, but sorry I do not believe you should turn that much, because it does affect horses balance and especially with a new horse you need to make it as pleasurable as possible. If you simply keep the rein tight in hand, you have the horses head to quickly turn to you to prevent running off and you can get your foot out. Another thing, you should desensitize your horse to mounting on and off before actually riding, just my opinion(:
I think you misunderstood - I was saying I agree that using spurs was wrong and unneeded. Spurs can be good when used correctly, but they are clearly not needed here.
While yes some horses do blow up, yall gotta keep in mind that some don't. That a lot of times starting them on the ground and giving them a good foundation keeps them from wanting to do that. Also keep in mind that he the trainer wants to look good. So he probably chose a well mannered horse or one that has already been started under saddle.
I agree. When I rode my first horse for the first time she was super chill. My second horse bucked a few times but then settled down. It really depends on the horse
He wasn't turning her head, she turned it herself to sniff him. She moves it away just a couple seconds later. I do agree about the spurs, though, the second she bucks or he loses his balance he's jamming her in the side.
This is a very nice horse. But what about horses that are less forgiving? That’s when we really start learning. Would love to see this on a horse that starts bucking. Then what?
sonseere10 actually depends on the horse nothing wrong with starting them light at 2 1/2-3 most are started at 3 and if they can handled it mentally and no health problems nothing wrong with that
Mercy-------Of course there is something wrong with that............the horse hasn't finished growing yet. It is selfish to start riding a horse too young.
Gerry Coleman lol I always start colts at two and so does everyone else I know around here and we don’t have any issues with backs or joints we have had a good few make 30 years and no trouble. Maybe its you weekend warriors that have all the issues from your horses being out of shape and you blame it on being to young lol
Hmm the horse is good, I do NOT agree with spurs your first ride, it's not only more stressful but it'll make your horse dull to touch...Also I don't agree with turning her head while getting on, you're putting her off balance with your weight pulling on her but to each his own i guess :)
it was clearly the horses first ride, the horse would've acted a lot different if it wasnt. he clearly did a lot of preperation to get there so the horse wouldnt behave badly
Those of you who think this is fake are silly. I am NOT a trainer and my 9 year old was able to get up on my coming 2 year old BLM mustang. (Already gentled and started on leading) I’ve been building a foundation of trust with her since I got her. I started working on saddling her first with a little bareback pad, and then a lightweight pony saddle, and now a 15” Western saddle. All she did was huff a little and then let me lead her around with my daughter on her back. She’s getting pretty good at ground driving too so I have little doubt she’ll catch on pretty fast when someone takes the reins in the saddle. If I can do that, why is anyone surprised that a horseman can? Lol
Anyway, thank you Mr. Cameron. The squaring up makes sense. My girl does take a small step when weight goes in the stirrup and I was trying to get her to not move at all before getting on. You make it clear that she probably just needs a little practice learning how to brace herself and that it isn’t really disrespectful for her to do that.
Chelsea McMurdo Your horse isn't even two yet and you're letting someone sit on her? They shouldn't be carrying weight on their back at that age, even a nine year old.
Cheers for this, I've been looking for "horse trainers in arizona" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Menailey Vonaliyah Formula - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got amazing results with it.
thats fucked up that u would think jamming spurs in to her sides is at all right all that does is upsets the horse and hurts the horse y do u think they use spurs in bronk ridding it adds more pain to the horse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:17.. okay you lost me here. wtf are you doing sawing the horse's neck with the rope? you're not creating energy, but pressure and most likely pain/discomfort.
Zaffysgirl1998 you don’t I just like being mean lol I had a lady bring me a mare she couldn’t do anything with and when she see me wearing spurs she said I would have to take them off cause she will go nuts if I use them and I laughed and said she will get use to them lol and by the third ride she stopped bucking rearing biting and would go wherever I asked. I only use them as much as I need to and as hard as I need to
What's with all the mamby pampby stuff, get on and whoop n spur!!!!!!! I'll have my horse broke , ridin n slidin while ya'lls still feedin yours carrots.
when you do a demonstration, why not use an unbroken horse? i disagree with what you do when get on and lean over the back and touch the neck, back,etc. cause if that was a wild unbroken animal, you need to get on his back with feet straight into the strips ready for some action. and then touch the neck and so on. you lay on a horses back like that and he throws you off, thats victory one for the horse, first lesson learnt , how to throw a incompitant rider off. thats the quietest breaker ive ever seen. you ride your breakers with spurs and a rope off the saddle? fake horseman
actually as someone who works with mustangs personally its best to start bareback with a rope halter left untied. you lay across their back and get read for an emergency dismount (something every rider should know) and then if something does happen you get off fast and have the lead rope. nothing for the horse or you to get caught up in.
not if you prepare the horse correctly. its a myth that a horse needs to be "broken" and that you have to ride the buck out of them. if you set the horse up propperly you wont have a scared, bucking horse, but a calm, maybe unsure horse that is manegeable. ofcourse horses are different and will react differently, but that doesnt mean bucking like a wild horse. if you have come to the point of the first ride, the horse should nt be "wild" anymore. i agree though that you shouldnt ride with spurs on the first ride
Words of wisdom, "it's not called sittin' it's called ridin'"
i watch this and smile during the video...i dont know why pretty much of everything!!such a beautifull horse by the way!!thank you for this lesson mr Craig!!
forgot to tell ya.. Great vid ! we are all always learning, and i learned a little today, thanks for sharing vids
So many great tips! So practical! Appreciate this video! Ty
This guys humour made me laugh so hard, some good tips here. :)
Good teacher.
Well Done! I have always used a similar method and it has served me well.
Great video loved it all the goods on the saddle like you are going to be doing later on
that horse is gorgeous!

Hunts well how did it go?
should be able to mount/dismount from any side. Never know when it is needed.
I learn by my mistakes. And I don't hold the rope like u do. I take the rope, and curl the end how ever many times I need to. That way all my fingers are out of the rope☺️
My pops got so frustrated with our horse he gave him to me ...all I did was be gentle with him cause I knew and tell my kids,a horse paralyzed superman. I never had a problem.

Your tips really helped me break my horse
I'm a horse rider and my horse was a wild one that I saved he's a Clydesdale called Stamina because he is full of energy and I tought him by myself :) I trust him and he trusts me. I love him dearly! x
Craig Cameron was so young
At my barn, the owners husband decided to take a horse he was breaking on a trail ride, rather than trying him out in a ring. Needless to say the horse was all over the place and i had to take thet lead with him yelling the directions. We told the owner (his wife).
Needless to say he didnt do that again 😂
He was a moron.
aha this helped me soo much
Spurs,chaps, and lariat on the first ride?
Kevin Young yup if you did your ground work it’s good to leave it on get them used to it from the start and as far as spurs go you can be way softer with them then without if you are not an idiot
spurs are not a problem so long as they are applied properly
If I were riding a young horse for the first times, I would wear a helmet and a protective vest.......any horse is capable of any behavior at anytime......more cowboys in the old west were killed by horse accidents than six guns.
Pretty much the wrong way to get on for the first time or any other time for that matter. Stand at the left shoulder by the near front leg facing the rear of the horse and swing on .

I agree spurs are not meant for kicking the crap out of a horse. What i do is i roll the spur lightly up the side of the horse so it tickles him :)
"tickles"????? Is this a joke?
@countrygirl21491 I do know the purpose of head turn, but sorry I do not believe you should turn that much, because it does affect horses balance and especially with a new horse you need to make it as pleasurable as possible.

I think you misunderstood - I was saying I agree that using spurs was wrong and unneeded. Spurs can be good when used correctly, but they are clearly not needed here.
Maybe he just didn't change his boots? I'm sure Craig can not use the spurs when he has a mind not to...
that's awesome
Why has he got spurs on???
Serena Moore why not?
While yes some horses do blow up, yall gotta keep in mind that some don't. That a lot of times starting them on the ground and giving them a good foundation keeps them from wanting to do that.

yupdeedoo i agree with you

No he’s not. Because he’s a horseman and can control his feet. Even when a horse is bucking.
How old is she?
how do they have to be
Love it
This is a very nice horse. But what about horses that are less forgiving? That’s when we really start learning. Would love to see this on a horse that starts bucking. Then what?
I want to thank you I have confidence win ride my horse and I'm doing so good win I'm ride thank you so much
How old is this horse? A horse should not be ridden until he has finished growing (4 to 5 years old or so)
sonseere10 actually depends on the horse nothing wrong with starting them light at 2 1/2-3 most are started at 3 and if they can handled it mentally and no health problems nothing wrong with that
Mercy-------Of course there is something wrong with that............the horse hasn't finished growing yet. It is selfish to start riding a horse too young.
@Che Paton Sway back in the long run among other things.
Gerry Coleman lol I always start colts at two and so does everyone else I know around here and we don’t have any issues with backs or joints we have had a good few make 30 years and no trouble. Maybe its you weekend warriors that have all the issues from your horses being out of shape and you blame it on being to young lol
@@henryhenry903 Just because you do it and 'everyone else I know around here' does it, does not mean it is the right thing to do for the horse.
my horse bucks and runs off whenever I get in her now and I ussd to get in her and sit in her all the time and I still do it all the same
Marsha Heffner get on it and lock on and just lope circles and dig ur spurs in it and it will fix it really quickly
Hes a good trainer
Chad Eden you are so right just dig your spurs in hard and it will fix you real quick lol
Maybe u should try doing stuff on her not in her... Jk jk good luck with ur horse
Clorox Bleach lol i was not brave enough to go there lol
Good onya Bobbi belt it up him.
Why are you riding a horse that has not fully grown yet? Wait until she is about 5 years old.
Good video but I don't agree on using spurs when starting a horse.
Hmm the horse is good, I do NOT agree with spurs your first ride, it's not only more stressful but it'll make your horse dull to touch...Also I don't agree with turning her head while getting on, you're putting her off balance with your weight pulling on her but to each his own i guess :)
hi
😂😂 my two year old was not so kind
you need to hold the back of the saddle
Kayliegh Ash you mean so if it bucks you are off balance and fall off ?
the first ride 10th ride 100th ride...you stole that line from John Lyons!
Now try that on a horse who's first time it really is. If that horse has never been ridden then I'm the Pope.
a lot of horses are really calm on their first ride. Its the first time with the saddle cinched up that they freak out. :)
it was clearly the horses first ride, the horse would've acted a lot different if it wasnt. he clearly did a lot of preperation to get there so the horse wouldnt behave badly
Brenna Aunalee
With proper preparation, it can go quite smoothly.
Wow I can't believe the pope is watching these

Jose Rumbos lol what is it a spam webpage? Or why do so many of you idiots have the same post ?
That was not the first ride ...you set up for the video!
thats fucked up that u would think jamming spurs in to her sides is at all right all that does is upsets the horse and hurts the horse y do u think they use spurs in bronk ridding it adds more pain to the horse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:17.. okay you lost me here. wtf are you doing sawing the horse's neck with the rope? you're not creating energy, but pressure and most likely pain/discomfort.
Anathema lol pain? Its a horse they are not pussys lol it’s called pressure and release to teach a horse how to understand your language
i don't agree on using spurs at all! You shouldn't need spurs to get a horse to listen to you!
Zaffysgirl1998 it's fine shut up
Zaffysgirl1998 you don’t I just like being mean lol I had a lady bring me a mare she couldn’t do anything with and when she see me wearing spurs she said I would have to take them off cause she will go nuts if I use them and I laughed and said she will get use to them lol and by the third ride she stopped bucking rearing biting and would go wherever I asked. I only use them as much as I need to and as hard as I need to
Narrow minded view, different cultures, different tools.. Hope she has grown in wisdom in last 6 yrs
i dont like the spurs i've seen horses with holes in there sides from people spuring the horses
Dismounting to the right, Have not seen that trick be for.
Jack Duffy I always do both on and off when I’m starting a colt get them use to anything I can think of
When I start a Colt I do everything from both sides.
What's with all the mamby pampby stuff, get on and whoop n spur!!!!!!! I'll have my horse broke , ridin n slidin while ya'lls still feedin yours carrots.
The easy way isn't always the right way. Less stress on the horse, the better for the future.
BuckshotGeorge broke yes trained well no
when you do a demonstration, why not use an unbroken horse? i disagree with what you do when get on and lean over the back and touch the neck, back,etc. cause if that was a wild unbroken animal, you need to get on his back with feet straight into the strips ready for some action. and then touch the neck and so on. you lay on a horses back like that and he throws you off, thats victory one for the horse, first lesson learnt , how to throw a incompitant rider off. thats the quietest breaker ive ever seen. you ride your breakers with spurs and a rope off the saddle? fake horseman

this comment helped me a lot. i am buying an unbroke mustang and i have been thinking about starting to ride her bareback before i go for the saddle.
not if you prepare the horse correctly. its a myth that a horse needs to be "broken" and that you have to ride the buck out of them. if you set the horse up propperly you wont have a scared, bucking horse, but a calm, maybe unsure horse that is manegeable. ofcourse horses are different and will react differently, but that doesnt mean bucking like a wild horse. if you have come to the point of the first ride, the horse should nt be "wild" anymore. i agree though that you shouldnt ride with spurs on the first ride
Oh that's funny.... Telling Craig Cameron that he's an idiot and don't know what he's doing training horses...lol
