- Romeo, our veteran student, had a little trouble staying in a straight line when he was driving in single.
Listen to why Barry thinks that is and what we were doing about it.

You r the best
Watching this video while darning socks is so peaceful. Thank you so much for sharing part of your day with us!❤
Watching these videos is always uplifting....l imagine myself sitting up there too...❤
That’s a dying art now,I should imagine..well done .
Great video! I like your methods here. I'm also curious if it would work to ask him to set his head straight with the reins and lightly tap his right shoulder with a whip to keep him from drifting over?
His owner is going to try a schooling whip, as apparently Romeo also does this at home ridden.
I was watching this to keep me entertained whilst knitting! Videos like this are so enjoyable to do needlework to!
What a nice little chap!
I love how you talk to him! Im sure he feels your kindness through the reins as well. 😊
So knowledgeable! Wonderful horseman! 👍
As always, great to see you Reading the Pony!!
He's making a Lot of Progress, with the patience and understanding you're showing him!!
Thank you very much as always for explaining the horses Point of view!!
Andréa and Jasper. ...XxX...
Romeo is gorgeous and a handy height too.
Very much so!
Thank you Barry for making this lovely video with the birts 🐦 singin on the background. Where i live in the Netherlands the building a lot of windmolens and most 🐦 died. Near the windmolens it is one big grave yeart with 🐦. It is terrible 😢.
It is SO sad! So much for "green" energy. Solar and wind are anything but.
That is sad to hear. Hopefully the birds will learn to avoid them, or they will put something up to warn the birds away.
Thankyou. Every horse I've had except one does that. I think they turn their heads to the right if you drive on the wrong side of the road.. I've always interpreted it as watching out for things in the hedge, or wanting as much space as possible. I've never tried side reins, maybe should. Side reins to a headcollar
He was straight when he was further away from the side of the road, along the long stretch where he could see round the long right hand bend. I wonder if he's had a fright at some point, or maybe was driven without blinkers at one time. Gorgeous little chap though very kind really trying hard!
Showing a “child” the world and not hurting them in the process.
A great task.
Should someone seek schoolmaster horse,
I probably have one, an 11 year old gelding from Hungary, 1.72m tall, from the worker line, gray.
The horse next to him in front of the carriage completely panicked after his hoof got stuck on the handlebar
and he remained absolutely calm the whole time. In Germany, close to Hannover.
I was always taught when riding that you shouldn't get off in a dangerous situation to take the horse's head, because it gives you an illusion of more control, but actually you have much more control from the saddle.
But I don't feel like that's what you were saying, it's more like, if you get down, he takes that as confirmation that it's a special dangerous situation, right? Whereas if you just carry on as normal, he'll conclude that it wasn't actually dangerous after all.
Edit: a bit like when a child is frightened of something that isn't dangerous, if the adult gets all excited as well then it just makes things worse. Whereas if the adult stays calm and reassuring, the child will learn that the thing isn't actually dangerous.
Basically, yes. If you get down to 'help' them, they are always going to look for that 'help' rather than to use their own confidence and trust in the driver.
