Used to ride on a horse during lessons, she would bolt whenever she got spoooked and woud stop once she was across the riding ring with the rest of class. Didn't know what to do (beginner/nervous rider) so i just remained calm. Ended up building my confidence after that and would always ask the instructor if i could do cantering during lessons.
Awesome video guys , it surprising how much of a work out a rider gets , love it you can only get better with practice and consistency, what’s not to love about putting a horse over some sticks , great fun , his instructions where awesome, thanks for a fab video. 👍
I don't agree it is the rider per se. Seen horses bolt with godd experienced riders. First thing is a rider needs to understand what a horse is saying. You can never go to sleep. When horses start to stiffen under you, you must immediately be prepared to one rein turn in circles. If their head/body become straight, they tense up and take the bit and NO amount of pulling back on the reins will stop them. You MUST recognize the first signs and immediately get them turning. The video has some good points, but it is not always the rider. Now, a horse can tell a rider who is fearful and a rider who does not know what their doing. Worked as a wrangler at a dude ranch,. Never lie about how much horse experience riding you have. When buying a horse never lie about your experience as a rider. We owned a horse that spooked at rocks, plastic bags, bird flying up from the grass. He was so athletic, he could jump to the side 20 feet. We never had anyone ride him except my husband.
So petting the horse while holding on for dear life calms them? I imagine heing petted on its bsck end & rubbing your feet across his wind cage woukd further ilriitate a different horse.
Cool breakdown. KIKI is an introvert with high predator protection behavior. V, extrovert and has much less prey animal instinct. They are both beautiful horses. From cowboy culture in western Canada, it is interesting how similar the methods are. You are clearly very talented at reading and working horses. I call it "Horse Artistry" only because I suck at all other art forms and I do OK with working with horses.
Really enjoyed that. Perhaps you should do a series on different specialties giving you a lesson. Like a dressage rider, eventer, showjumper..on a more established horse. It’s great that even a professional with many miles on the clock can learn something new. Every rider should have training and eyes on the ground at some point. Thanks again. 😊
I do have a horse that has bolted on me a few times. I learned so much from this video!! Thank you thank you! Just the mounting was so informative. My horses head is very high when I go to mount, I believe the bolting is because she is afraid of me, not her surroundings, not objects. I need to do more ground work and mounting exercises. Thank you again
im admiring your calmnes and your balance in the saddle. I have a horse like you have in the video but i dont have a strong nerves to keep loping the horse in english saddle
I typically only ride indoors since I have several medical issues,and he has spooked and bolted a few times inside (he's very sensitive to sound, if I forget to put his soundproof ears on. He's probably going to spook) he's bolted 2 times due to noises outside, once with someone else as a horse kicked a metal feeder, and today with me when someone was making noise outside the doors at A end (he did get a nasty spook there when I first got him.. twat of an adult man started using our hayledge bales as drums) since then he's always been a bit spooky at A end. When we're out on a hack, it's usually with another horse as he doesn't hack alone just yet, he bolted 1 time on long reins out (saw the back of a road sign, he didn't go far so I was able to get him again) but never when I've ridden him out, a few leap spooks but he usually looks after me when we're out. He is quite immature for his age (he'll be 8 in March) and he's part-bred Arab so extremely highly strung and sensitive anyway.
These and some other videos similar are very helpful to me right now because the ottb I’m training has a pretty serious/fanboys bolting problem. He’ll run people over, throw people off, and refuse to stop. He was at a full gallop yesterday while I was on him but I managed to keep him away from people and get him to stop. We’re definitely going to need to work on it!
You say this behaviour is totally normal for young horses, but it does reflects poor handling. Ideally, the barging into space, lack of respect for and striking at humans would have been dealt with when this 2 year old was much younger. I like basic ground manners to be ingrained by the yearling stage, so then when the young horse gets worried or upset about new environments or other novel things as they inevitably will, you don't get the dangerous barging and striking you see here. They already know to respect your space, and other safety measures like disengaging their hindquarters to defuse anxiety. A big, bolshy 2 year old like this willing to run you over is really quite dangerous to be around
It was great to see how you adapted to 2 different horses during the process. I’m backing my first youngster this year and your videos are such a great help.
What I do see and hear is fine, but you're leaving an awful lot of things out. Specifically, exactly what are you doing with your head, eyes, hands and feet? I would never be able to replicate it. Not even close. It would help to have camera a bit closer, but it wouldn't make a huge difference. I need to be told exactly what to do, not just where to put my energy. And even that, about the energy, is not being explained much. I don't mean to be critical, but to teach anything you need to be very specific about each detail.
You were very gentle with the horses. I really liked that. I have a very sensitive mare I have to be gentle with. Otherwise, there is no way to connect with her. She is very bonded with me after 2 years. It really makes a difference and takes patience.
When my horse bolted she didn't react to the reins and any leg at all. Instead she ran kinda sideways and that only made it worse because then I couldn't keep my ballance
This is a great video and fabulous horsemanship/riding. I love how you stress the importance of professional help and time. Too many gurus out there making bank by selling people on the idea of their quick fix techniques "anyone can do". At the low monthly rate of XXX.XX $$$.
I really like this chestnut a really good mover ❤ You have done a great job with both these horses 👏 building confidence in these young horses ❤ You never pull on them wonderful What are the future plans for these babies ☺️ I love how you get them out and expose them in such a positive kind way to everything! I hope you get paid well for your excellent approach to starting young horses 😊These horses are happy excellent job 🫶👏Patience, timing , feel , bravo 👏
