Those are very good tips, especially for those who are petting horses first time. The neck is very good suggestion (and especially that place behind ears, one of the most favourite places for massage - approved by many horses I took care :) ) Also one more common mistake is to stroke way too softly and it can tickle. Another place, which is not that much recommended - especially with stallions - is stroking them on their (i can´t recall the name, but its under his neck and ends with front legs) - it can be, well, too much stimulating for them. Personally I met very mellow stallions, so I never had problems, but you know, there might be ones who can get overstimulated quite easily. Good work with this short instruction video!👍
Obviously they can if you’re planning on breeding them but otherwise they should be kept separate while in captivity to avoid injury and unnecessary stress on mares and foals.
my horse is already okay with the saddle and me sitting on her back but my mom still says i cant ride her bc she first needs to understand what i say when i talk to her
Thank you! Yes this horse has been worked with in my methods since he was a yearling. Teaching well trained horses something new should be this easy! 😊🙌🏼
What if the horse won’t pivot when you want or stop to look at all nor will she get close to smell my hand She is 4 years old and is as wild as wild gets I don’t have access to a round pen either. Any ideas?
It's not going to be easy especially if she just doesn't want to connect with you. I recommend you watch the wild horse training playlist. In those videos you can watch a horse that really did not want to connect with anyone! ru-vid.com/group/PLWIG3pbsJfz6ZWgq7yg_xtJuHpXsdvC_d
@@HorsePerfect thank you 😊 I have watched the first video and yes you make it look so easy lol I have realized my horse is only afraid of being touched. We got her from the auction when she was barely 1 she had a halter on but it was causing sores on her face so we tried a different halter and unfortunately she go out of. Now she is used to people but anytime she thinks I’m going to touch her she runs away. I’ve tried free lunging in a football field size field at first she ran the whole field just trying to get away but then she was lunging I didn’t even have to move much lol I finally had to be done because she just would not stop. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated thank you 😊
i notice you hook your fingers over the front edge of the hoof while holding it. I used to do that until my horse stamped his foot down, and I lost the end of my middle finger- literally ripped it off. Much safer cradling the pastern.
Sorry to hear that happened! Must have been terribly painful and shocking! I guess for most people it would be safest to hold the leg higher up. I make sure to let go as soon as the foot gets close to the ground. Your story will help me stay extra safe 😊
When i try to lunge my horse sometimes she just backs away from me or she won't move at all. I tap her with the whip but it doesn't always work. I don't wanna get too rough with the whip cause I'm worried she'll be afraid of me then
Keep trying with her… she will eventually learn. You might have to hit her harder and then stop as soon as she does the right thing! She will respect you if you tell her what to do and she won’t fear you as long as you are clear with what you want and pet her afterwards.
In the old days when people start their horses, they'll tack them up, get on their backs, and the horse will end up bucking when someone gets on them, until they stop bucking when they find out that they can't throw off the rider. In case anyone wants to know what 'start' means, it means teaching a horse to accept a rider. You may be saying, "What about breaking a horse? I hear that all the time." Breaking is the same thing, except it's an outdated term that is rarely used. Broke is still used all the time. Broke means a horse can be ridden or driven. I wouldn't be surprised when they're people out there doing old school horse training before this century.
Facts! Nowadays we do it so differently. The idea is to start the horse with as little stress and pain as feasibly possible and build a connection of trust and respect.
It takes time for the horse to do this well. Bump him with the line on the halter whenever he drags away by pulling the line towards you. If he’s doing good don’t pull it but if he tries to pull away bump once or twice and he’ll learn over time like 3-4 days and then you shouldn’t have to bump at all.
These videos are so powerful and Daniel, your skills are amazing. Do you ever host training events or accept paying guests at your facility in Patagonia? Great Job
Thank you very much! I have hosted events "Clinics" in the past and would be open to that in the future! For specific enquiries feel free to email me at Horseperfect.tv@gmail.com
If the horse is gentle you can pet them gently around the nose also. Just be careful if you're unsure as it's easy for them to bite you if you pet them close to their mouth.
I am surprised at how he didn’t react to that saddle! Is it because of all the ground work you have done so far or just his temperament or both?? Very impressive!
Yes me too! I was expecting a big reaction! All the desensitizing and preparation definitely helps but every horse is very different! Some horses (as this one did) hold onto their fear and explode later on! Its better if they react and let out their fear the first time otherwise it can show up latter if they try to be brave and smart about it. (Spoiler Alert) You'll see on day 3 of riding how much fear of the saddle he still had despite acting like he didn't care!
Im a vet i did tame horses for about 3 times my job is its health because when i want to examine the horse its already tamed and restrained but if i was there i would let the horse know me first and i would give it more time feeding her because she is wild
I get mine from the USA. What part of Australia are you from? I’ll be in Oz in two weeks and I could potentially bring you the exact rope from this video if you want it. If that sounds like an interesting idea then email me at HorsePerfect.tv@gmail.com
@@HorsePerfect I’m in the northern eastern region of NSW. Also another question, in your video about teaching them on how to back up. When I used the stick and the rope she thinks I’m going to lunge her and starts walking next to me. I have a bit of a hard time with it cause last time she did that she kicked me. How would I let her understand I was her going back rather than lunging?
Hey! Not an easy issue to fix… horses that don’t like going out alone are not natural leaders in a herd and need other horses to feel safe. You have to be a strong leader for your horse and guide him strongly and clearly from the saddle. Do lots of circles if your horse is nervous and lots of stops and backups to reinforce that you’re in charge! Start slowly and go further away from other horses as he is comfortable.
I've talked of this often. Its circling your horse to stop it. Ive used it for a bolting horse. Also use the " pulley rein " to stop. This is used on the hunt field at times.
