My mare doesn't like standing still at all. If I drop the reins, she will automatically speed up and rush. Luckily she's not spooky but she really doesn't like other horses; she will kick at or try to bite if she even walks past the fenceline next to one. She is worse if she's in season (a lot worse!). Any advice?

I will for sure be trying this on my horse! Though I honestly don't know how his canter is, though he is well balanced in his walk and trot

Just subscribed to you channel. So nice to watch and listen to a rider who stays so correct with a sensitive horse. Beautiful boy you have!

I am going back into riding after 20yrs of not riding and I am scared of cantering. Thank you for this.

Thank you so much for your video's they've helped me out a lot with my young horse. There is still something i'm struggling with, and it's a balanced canter. Even on the lunge and while riding she loses her balance as soon as she starts cantering. After a few months of training ,she's able to canter for longer period of time but balance is still almost no where to be found. I can see she get's frustrated very easily , also on the lunge. And of course, once she's frustrated she loses her balance even more. Do you have any tips by chance ?

Hi, this may be a dumb question but… you say outside leg. This is in an arena right, so what if I’m out trail riding ??

Thaaaaanks love❤️

Amazing rider Love how your giving him trust and confidence

Hi Josie, I notice you ride with a safety vest. What type of vest is it? I'm 61yr starting a young horse (he is currently with a trainer) and I was thinking of getting a safety vest.

Your videos are gems for everyone related to horses, especially for a newbie! I’m now working with a 2 y.o. Mare (from the ground), and your channel helps immensely!

Glad you didnt go with the trot, you finished in a nice place. I just say it again how i love your gentleness, calmness with the horses. O how i wish everyone was this patient kind and loving with them. Your soft tone shows alot. 🙌

Lovely video. I got alot from this video. Thank you, im starting my pre work for if ( i hope) the time come when i can start a 4 year ( my mares unborn foal) old. Beautiful dismount with the head bent. Thanjs Josie

OOOO I relate to everything you say....

Excellent content. I loved the colored legs wraps to distinguish the horse's movement.

Josie, it was hard to see but I think you used both reins for the 2nd stop at 5:23 in addition to seat and voice? I taught my mare that, and now when I'm trying to get her on the bit she takes two rein contact as a sign to stop. Can you advise? Plus, someone told me on the snaffle we're not supposed to use both reins at the same time because it can fold up and pinch. Now I'm confused.

Its great that you didn't push her to trot this time , people are often in too much of a hurry to move the horse on to the next stage. I'm a huge believer in building a really good foundation and knowing the right time to stop a session it's key in their education and development. Nice video.

thanks for another great video! I look forward to every new video you post. I feel the energy and sensitivity it takes to work with a horse who may be easily excited. You handle it all with calm and wisdom and you know when to stop at a good place. It would be so easy to try the trot and have it not go well. So much better to repeat what has gone well and soon the trot will come just as smoothly. thanks so much for all your videos.:)

I have been watching your videos for years, and they still teach me something brand new every moment!! They've been so helpful in my riding journey, especially recently when it comes to retraining my first OTT. I was just wondering if you could do a video of how to teach a horse to pick up the correct canter lead? My boy raced in NT and just cannot pick up a left canter lead to save his life, and when he does he's entirely unbalanced as he has no strength on that side. He doesn't typically even pick it up in the paddock. I've tried pushing him into it by giving some inside rein to try and force it, nope! Even asking over a pole is about 1/10 chance for a transition. He'd score a 10/10 for a counter canter in the dressage ring 😂I'm just at a loss because I don't want to be spending 30 minutes of our ride trying to pick up the left lead just to get no progress and a sweaty horse. This is his only vice, and its been stopping me from progressing him to cavalettis and teaching him to jump as I don't want to build bad habits (always landing on the right lead). Your help would be much appreciated!!! ❤

1rst ride great 👍. It seems this mare could become easily anxious , you keep her very calm.

Thank you so much it really helped I just started it's my 2 day and am all ready good 👍

having a great horse like him is a lot of it.

Love all of this ❤ Horse so quite and confident

Such a pitty that phones dont have volume regulaters😂thx for this video! Fantastic! Helko from Portugal.

The belt button one. Thank you. I like how you inform people.

...get off...🤣👍

I remember watching this when I had a lot of trouble with sitting trot and canter. Now it feels like a literal swing, especially with big-gaited horses. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I really couldn’t understand how my mum would explain it to me, I will try it on a fence. She had me doing it in a field, I’d put my right leg on, and my boy would go walking to the right, not very constructive, thank you for your help

I am 100% riding with rhe handbreak on. Its a habbit i cant break. Someone has to pull the handbreak out😂

your videos are always awesome and so helpful. Thank you so much! I have a small question please: you said at the begin that he should length the stride and his body. We do not want to throw the contact. I understand this. But do i put slightly forward my hands when i ask? Just slightly or do i only soft my hands, i mean open my hands only? Thank you so so much!

❤

Thank you for this episode.

11:56 am Sunday June 23, 2024. Thank you so much!! I learned a lot fir working with my OTTB ❤️ I am saving this for reference.

Omg your horse has such a beautiful canter, your so good together!!

Nice 👍 information good mam

This video is very helpful thank you I have always pinched with my knees I’m trying to fix it but my balance isn’t very good either but thank you so much for the video it really helped I just pinch on with my knees to try to be more secure and stuck to my seat btw I’m a very , much beginner

Nice work!

What about a biter

That mare is gorgeous

Do you just give your hands and ask or do you also squeeze or kick? Thank you!

My mare falls in and goes for an upward transition as a result. Is this an issue of balance?

😞How can i lift myself up straight and right and be relaxed with my legs and not slide off my saddle when trot a circle ⭕️ ?? I can’t understand how to do this..

I adopted an old mare who can barely see... she sees shadows... she is wonderful... I'd like to learn to work with her, do u believe she can do these things even tho she cannot really see??

Omg Josie, where have you been all my life. This is awesome no one has ever explained it like this and it makes so much sense . Thank you so much

i've just started training a young horse for the first time and found you while looking for some tips for starting to lunge. i've been binging your videos for hours now and i love love love how you train and how you build confidence in the horse! i feel allot more confident and relaxed about working with a young horse aswell now, thank you for your videos, they've helped me so much🤍

I’m very late to this, but would these same methods work on a mini horse? I’m volunteering at a barn with a very pushy mini mare, and they’re trying to fix it before they adopt her out. She has no respect for personal space whatsoever, and even if you stand a little in front of her, she throws a fit and tries the shove past you.

Just what I needed to see. I just can’t my girl to stay on. Sigh. Goes in beautifully

This video is great! Is Wayne the cameraman? He did great, keeping the camera on you! Nice to see more videos from you again Josie😊

Happy No Father Necessary Day

Josie, your such a gentle sweet person with your horses. They are so lucky to have you. Fabulous training skills aswell. Thank you🙏

Hi Josie, I had my 3 yr old loading lovely like this, and after an outing to a trainer, he suddenly refused to load to go home. He pulled back and refused. Nothing else had changed. I am currently starting over with this practice and being patient with him. Any thoughts?
