This is a preview on how to solve the behavior issues of horses that charge. Always getting to the root cause of the problem will solve the issues. To learn more visit my Membership page at mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
I'm sure other people are saying this too -- the difference in body language is talking to the horse! The girl steps back every time, and is standing in a non-confident manner. Caution is good, but letting the horse know you're afraid is not. Glad the trainer was up for changing things.
This horse is doing great today and is now longer charging the owner. She is doing a great job with him. This is only a preview to the full videos on my members page at mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
I know not everyone has a round pen, but with these type of horses I prefer to work them loose, not on a lunge. It's easier to stay safe if not attached to the horse, and you can gain respect the same way
I really don’t want to hate and that is not what I’m trying to do here, but to me (I am a horse trainer) that horse may have some lameness or pain in their feet? Obviously you know your horse and I’ve only watch one short video but that undesired behaviour may be be coming from the horse being in pain and wanting to stop work.. it just doesn’t seem to be very comfortable in its movement.. Nice video and good advice! X
I am sorry that happen to you, I hope you are ok. This horse came out of the issue pretty easy. Since the second day with he has never tried it again with me or the owner. All my full videos to these previews are on my members page at mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
What do you do when a horse won't lunge ? I put my hand out as in telling her to go in left direction but she walks and stops in front of my space . I whip the ground and walk towards her or shake my stuff in her face to get her back but she doesn't budge
I would start from step 1 and reteach the horse how to lunge again from step 1 which would be al the flexing then to the forward cue etc. I have videos on horses like your on my members page at mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
@@Marcoeful ok thank you! Also the owner of the stable said for her to get used to being ridden we have to just lunge her then get on . Do you think that would get her used to being ridden since she was a pasture horse for years? She is very stubborn! For some days I'd ride her only walking when I'm on her but she'd stop and not go forward and do a slight buck just like a warning that she doesn't want to do this. But I realized my bf put saddle on wrong so maybe she had a sore back. She hasn't bucked since so we walk our two kids on her for like 10 minutes and she just acts out a little like moving her head all over pinning ears a little . Should I continue to try to ride even though she does this ?
Watch this horses trot, doesn't it seem as his front is either a racking horse or in pain and it may be why he's charging? Please let me know what I'm seeing is wrong or right? Thank you and stay safe. God bless
