Everytime I see you fix a horse for barrels,I find something out of it to fix a horse that just cantera up&down ,but is never "in" the bridle,or never has its ass under him.thankyou.
I've acquired a warmblood, imported...shown alot,but amazes at so many "holes in his training ".Hes shown around the country....but always trying to suck back behind your leg,or all of a sudden shy at something hes been past 3or 4 times in the ring. He doesn't focus on you,but what scares him.or thinks is going go scare him.
I'm amazed at the lateral work you do..I grew up doing contesting, but later went to jumping horses then Dressage&back to jumping horses. So many Sn GB lush riders could learn so much from you.
Annnnddd nobody asked? These women have some of the best horsemanship out of all the barrel racers, and they are the ones out there in the arena making thousands of dollars.
This is very true. You are 100% correct. It does take great stability and firmness sometimes if not most times. I absolutely love y’all’s channel. This has helped me so much left and right. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns with all of us. 🤍🖤
Wow, body control is important! I know for me somedays I ride sloppy and I cant really control my horse but on a good day when I have proper body control people say my horse is really broke and they are amazed but she's only green broke 😅
Guys she's not hurting the horse in ANY way! Just think, when someone's no listening to a step, you help them think through. That's what this pretty women and green bay are doing now! She pulls on the mouth to let him know he needs to go closer to the barrel!!! You guys, you pull on the reins so the horse knows where to go. She's not hurting the horse at all. ❤
Ooh what a pretty new horse. I have gotten the privilege to see this amazing woman run three times. I sadly do not remember the first time but the second and third time she was on Penny. She ran at the Spanish Fork Rodeo on May 22nd, 2021 and then the Oakley Rodeo on July 2nd, 2022. We were all cheering and going nuts for her😂
Can you tell me how to make your horses stop throwing there head and opening there mouth when you pull on the bit and trying to slide it i but of there mouth
You could try softening, I’ve worked with a couple horses that are like that. And it is usually after some one is not giving the release when the soften to pressure of the bit. one of the only resons why he/she is doing that is because the are looking for release so practice them softening lateral (left and right)on both sides, start by walking forward and pick up your hand to the sky on either left or right and hold till they come off the bit. Even if it is just the littlest bit and then release the rein back to them and go to the other side. If they start to get it give em a little pat and let them sit for a bit and think on it. Once the get it lateraly then do it verticall work pull up towards your chest and squeeze with you legs, ( make sure you hands are wide and your siting in the saddle correct.) till they softening off you hands. Then you can try stoping backing up a couple steps and doing a role back. so stop release a little to there head then back up and do a role back. It is super important that every single time they soften back to you you give the rein back to them. This should help a bit.
@@alexhardinger9430 yeah you could, but it may be easier to fix the problem with what is causing the problem. If a horse is throwing its head because of not enough release on a bit taking a bit off and putting on a bit less bridle could really only make the problem worse. Plus sometimes with a horse that is already strong headed with a bit could make it harder to soften with a bit less bridle. Bit less bridles are awesome in ways I personally love them but not in others. Not trying to put your opinion down just stating the facts and my opinion.
Inside leg needs to be off that horse while the outside needs to be pressed hard. Those twins are being held too loose and drive the horse with the seat. She's confusing the horse with her terrible cues.
Thank you for posting this video. As someone who rides alone (even though I live in N.Tx) and over thinks all the possible things, its relieving to know that something as “simple” as being heavy to one side and your horse responding accordingly, can also impact accomplished, capable and experienced riders, as well. After much thought, I decided I was struggling with this issue and felt very defeated, but alas there is hope!!
That’s a gag bit too so the pull is not what you think it is, the pull is different than what a pull on a non gag bit is like. And she is barely pulling she is just sitting back so it makes it look like she is.
Bits and tie downs… Why not let the horse do what he feels comfortable with? Going bit less and force free means you have a more willing partnership (more confidence, understanding etc) If mustangs and OTTBs can do dressage, show jumping and obstacle courses I don’t think there’s any excuse other than you. You can’t change. You were trained a certain way. You want ribbons, and have expectations. Obviously not you personally. I don’t know you. Just so tired of horses getting the blame for not performing as expected.
I don't see why you would do that to a horse anyway. It's not the way a horses anatomy is meant to be used. I think it breaks their body and their spirit to do something so harsh on a horse.. it's like the cruelty inherent and show jumping. Only worse because the bits and the equipment are so much harsher in anything Western related. Pleasure riding, trail riding or equitation maybe dressage lower level all of them are useful and a horse human bond is creative without doing damage to the horse or breaking their spirit
Wait till you go watch a barrel race or other western speed events like pole bending, gamingz you’ll see some of the worst bits possible. Twisted wire gags, bike chain, wire tie downs. The equipment a lot use is complete and utter torture. There’s no bitting regulations in barrel racing just like in showjumping and xc jumping.
Remeber: you always see and hear the worst people of a group first. Most barrel racers and western riders in general are good solid people that care more about their horses than they do about themselves.
I’ve seen a lot of pleasure riders with weighted bits, trail riders who yank on mouths all day, and eq/low dressage riders who do too much nagging. The discipline doesn’t determine the wellbeing of the horse. The quality of rider and care they put into the horses wellbeing is what truely matters. Also finding a job your horse actually enjoys and thrives on. Whether that be barrel racing or showjumping, equitation or pleasure. Just like a working dog, agility dog, or obedience dog, proper care needs to be given to our pet athletes.

It depends entirely on how they were originally trained to lope. The rider also plays a significant role depending on how they use their legs and posture. The number of riders a horse had had can also be influential.
I absolutely love your horses! They are huge, powerful, coordinated, obedient, and really want to please. I would be honored to EVER have a horse like these.❤❤❤
So do u think it is a coordination issue and once she drills that movement a few times her brain is able to find the feel of the better turn you taught her as she increases speed?
Yes. Most horses don't really understand why they are being pulled up before the barrel, and it interrupts their concentration. That's why doing the pattern slowly and teaching the slowdown in the pattern from the very start helps the horse understand the job better. So something that won't interfere with them (to cue the slowdown in the area where/when you want to get their hind legs under them to do the turn) as much as yanking on their face will, would be an exaggerated sit down for slow down and put your leg aids on to guide through the turn with the inside leg keeping the horse's shoulder from coming around too much. The key is figuring out how much support and guidance your horse needs and that varies with situational conditions like footing and the strength/conditioning of your horse.❤❤❤ idk if I phrased that as well as I wanted to. Lol. But honestly, this is where taking a few dressage lessons comes in handy because they tend to use the leg aids more to steer...and if they don't they SHOULD.❤❤❤
