BECOME MORE INTERESTING THAN GRASS! 

Excellent tip. I wish I had known this with my last horse. Never had relief from the tendency to graze while being ridden. I am training a new horse to ride now so I will use this right from the start.Many thanks for these videos

Thank you so much for the video! We care for a horse two times a week and have these problems while riding, mostly in wintertime when they almost get no gras while on the (muddy) meadow. A bush of gras at the side and she's head down into it. The problem is she's really large (Ex jumper) and no matter what i do (clap shoulder, TRY to bend her neck etc...), it just causes her to walk more into the bushes or she gets really upset. She would never give up on the gras... i usually get off her then and make her work, but as soon as i'm on top again there's no differrence.... We have no trouble on the ground at all, i even go for walks without holding her, just with a stick for communication, if necessary... ah, we ride in a ropehalfter only, works for everything except the grass... but even wiith bits you wouldn't pull on them... we do lots of groundwork, liberty etc, she's a great, gentle horse but oh the grass..... ;)))) if you have any other ideas i'd gladly appreciate it :)) Thank you so much!

The weather looks like Alberta, Canada! Except your grass is much greener!

Thank you! We are currently working on this issue with our two Mustangs! They do not have large pastures of grass where they spend their days-they've mostly eaten it down to very short nubs. The area that surrounds their barn area is quite lush grass and we take them out a couple times a day with their halters to allow them to eat the lovely grass. Do you think it's possible since it's such a limited resource for them that they can ever become "polite" on the grass and actually ignore it? We try to empathize with their plight because they don't get this grass at any other time but with us-we have a sand arena where we do most of our ground work and we take them on halter walks through the forest or down on the road where the grass is not a problem-do you think we're expecting too much from them to be able to "listen to us" on the grass and not eat it?

I think what you’re doing looks fantastic. One question I do have is. if the correction for everything seems to be work. Then will they associate riding as correction? Or am I just not far enough ahead in learning about this aspect of training to see the end result?

Just fantastic! I am still having trouble to be comfortable leading on such a long lead rope. I can see it is an excellent way but when I am doing it, I am not used to its bd keep wondering if something spooks him a bit....he will run right into me?

Cool video. I like your handling with problems. Works with all horses.. well.. except for my own 😂 love him and he loves me back, I'm shure. But nothing in the world is more interesting than fresh Gras. Not even an Atomic bomp 🤣 My only chance is to hold him occupied and never look away.
