Absolutely love it ❤ as a classically trained dressage rider more trainers need to do these kinds of things. I am a self-proclaimed horseman that happens to compete in dressage. My horses do more out of the ring than in it and I get ridiculed for it by dressage riders. I could care less 😂 horses that are engaged and mentally happy I think they can do anything, and they don't get sour and ruined. Imo 😊 Thanks @Tim for demonstrating superb horsemanship 👏 keep these videos coming they are what good horsemen, riders, and owners need to see and hear.
YES! We've had jumpers, barrel horses, etc., and all were trail ridden. We did various obstacles at home in the field too. There's definitely a reason/purpose to do some arena work, but most do daily arena sessions that are way too long imo. Most horses that are competing know their job in the arena. It's much more fun for the horse and myself to keep fit having fun outside arena area. I've never had an actual fenced arena, just worked up ground in a field. Although, I would love to have a covered area like Tim does❤
Great stuff. I think working cows is great for any horse, especially older off track TBs. People doing DNA tests on their mustangs and range horses are finding Hanovarian DNA, which really surprises them, but there were Hanovarians along with TBs in the remount stallion program that used them on native/local mares to provide a source of horses for the calvary.
One discipline which doesn't get mentioned much is Working Equitation. I think it is helpful to practice some of the obstacles because it allows a horse to interact with an object and see that there is a purpose, much like cow work. This video was so wonderful to watch-gorgeous horse and so fun to see him learn he can move a cow.
Such an elegant & graceful trot in the beginning of the video! He's gorgeous, Tim!! I had to chuckle a bit because my western pleasure horse is going into training for English dressage in a couple of weeks. I am happy you put this video up so we can get a glimpse of training between disciplines.
I have never considered a horse broken in until it has spent time mustering sheep or cattle. Giving a horse a job matures their mind very quickly. Especially mustering in steep hill country where they walk all day, but have to concentrate on their feet at the same time.
Such a great idea!!! I took lessons on a Hanoverian for 7 years. I believe he enjoyed anything but going round & round in a circle. lesson after lesson. He loved doing poles & loved going on trail rides. Im sure he appreciates a looser rein too. Tim's rewards the horse by giving him a break when the horse does what Tim asks.
HI TIM.....Wow, what a beautiful horse! I love Hanovarians & Dutch Warm Bloods (not a dressage rider-just like their elegant looks)❤ Really fun to watch him "looking at the cows". Thanks for this video & lesson. Perhaps some more dressage riders will tune in to your training program! 😊❤ God bless.....and extra prayers for Allison❤
No hamburger. Poor horse😆. I think Tim easing the pressure after the horse catches the idea of pushing the hirse is a means of reward, also so the training is incremental, and reduces the chance of holes in his education. Horse gets reward for that precise bit of obedience. Tim wants to guide him in the next phase of the job precisely as well as to affirm the correctness of the horse's action. Maybe ti keep him hungry for more. Pure beauty. But i havent seen too many ugly horses. 🤔 Well there was the appaloosa on my very first ride as an 8 year old. We were heading down a mountain (molehill) when he decided he needed to do some yoga. He relaxed into a downward dog, released his breath, and the saddle slid down over the horses head, then i did too. It was graceful as. We all had to stop and resaddle the beast and pop back on. Good times.
blondeenotsomuch, What a picture! 🤣 Yeah, we all have some funny horse stories, I guess! And i agree with you about Tim's motive for timing his training breaks.
I have seen the same happen to someone on a young horse. As a watcher, time slowed also to make it a graceful, slow motion movement. Luckily no one was hurt and after a re-saddle, they finished the day with no ill effects! Yes, as to Tim's motive. End on a good note and let the horse think and digest what just went on.Ed to add, one other thing. By pulling the horse away from the beast, it helps prevent the horse getting too excited when following and eventually guiding the animal.
Lovely! What a beautiful horse. I do everything I can with my horses. Parades are really fun and they get to liking those and I took my previously human hating abused mare to a children’s birthday party for special needs kids after she had sweetened in herself more and the children loved petting and feeding her treats and she was an angel, like she knew those kids were innocents. Makes me tear up just thinking about how far she’s come. ❤️( I was very careful to do this at the right time and place for everyone’s safety.) No one from her past could believe it…😊until I showed them pictures of that day. I think the more you expose horses to LIFE the better they get! Whether it’s pushing cows or just trail riding, it’s all GOOD!
I found this a fascinating video. What a beauty he is! Conformation, form, and we can see how dressage - driven his movement is. Gotta watch this one again, just for the aesthetic enjoyment!
Great video! I would love to push cows with my dressage horse. We've tried to push the dog around, although the dog is usually following us. I recently got a roping rope and started messing around with it, because of Tim! Thank you for continuing to provide us with such great info!
Love watching you on this horse! Are there more than the two videos I've been able to find and if so where do I find them? So far I type in timanderson training and it takes me to you TH-cam channel.. Do I need to subscribe to see any other videos? Keep up the VERY good work. We fans out here really appreciate you and your expertise.
Doing something new is good for the horses mind and the riders. We all need a break from the same old routine. Not sure why you stopped him when he locked on the cow unless he was tuning you out and your needed to get his focus on you?
Variety is the spice of life for most. We pushed cows on Monday, doing a western dressage test tomorrow and trail riding on Saturday, schooling different things in-between and having a day of rest on Friday
Stopping when the horse is having fun keeps them wanting to do it more. If you keep doing it and it starts to feel like work then they will not want to keep doing it.
@@timandersonhorsetraining I've had conductors who did that. Choir builds, crescendo, accelerate the tempo, going for the finale all out, and he cut us off. Good job, see ya Sunday.

They NEED to have a life outside the training and show ring (or race track) to keep from getting stale.

Wow! That's very interesting 😊 Thanks for sharing thus info
Gorgeous horse and love thst his head is not at knee level. He looks alert and reactive
Love the way he floats at the trot
A thing of beauty

So it remains fun for them keeps ftom them getting sour beautiful horse but so tall 😊
entertaining to see the horse go from distracted to having fun!!
I have found pushing cows gives them confidence. ❤️
Very helpful to see the sire of this horse in action. Made me appreciate this video more.

What a beautiful horse ❤❤❤
Great educational resource thanks Tim. Love the conformation of this Hanoverian ❤
What a handsome boy!!
Good morning all. Looking good Tim. ,. Thank you for video Tim & Melinda😃😇

Love his trot and it got so much slower and elegant as he locked on to a cow. He sure is a "busy" boy. Thankyou as always for sharing! 🦘
A thoughtful change in routine is often helpful. 😊

Such a beautiful horse !
Good you are giving him a job to do .
He certainly got the idea very quickly.
Dang, if it isn't gorgeous and a dream to watch, move! ❤

There are only 2. I should be doing more. I'll record another tomorrow.
He looks a lot like a Dutch tuigpaard, maybe you can look it up. So similar.
Do you pull the horse off the cow when it gets fun to keep him wanting more?
Yes
My answer to the question about taking the break: maybe so he can soak in what he has been doing?
