How to fix kicking out under saddle | Royal case study 

The microphone is a great addition! Can hear everything!

GREAT TRAINING AND RIDING!! 15 year old Roy with time off for a few years your bringing him back to work like you are. WELL DONE!! YOUR doing an excellent job of staying SAFE and helping Roy back to work. Riding On Riding Safe Susan

I don't usually comment on videos and adore your work with all your horses but he seems slightly lame on his front left. The way his head drops in the trot when he presses down on his front left leg. Again hope he feels better soon and best of luck for you both :)

What a beautiful boy Roy is! When he gets that trot and lope down he has such nice and smooth movements. Looks like a rocking horse out there!

it was awesome seeing how he improved from the start of the video to the end!

He's coming along nicely under your tutelage. Hope to see more of his progress. Love the new microphone! Thx for sharing, Camille!

So happy you posted this I have a mare in about the same spot so this was a great video to get so tips.

This one is so good and helpful!! Thank you for sharing.

You have such an amazing gift!!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!

You do great work!

Excellent! Looks like my Stetson boy! Stubborn and beautiful! 😀

Roy was doing great till the hop. Good job on redirecting his movements. I wish I knew this trick years ago

Newer viewer, and I subscribed because I can already tell you know your stuff. Okay, here's what I see, my 40+ years of horses, all breeds, both English and Western. Horse looks sound at walk, maybe stiff left inside at trot, minimal though. Left lope is very evident horse resistant to comfortably moving out. I know you've mentioned a vet cleared him, but sometimes a vet can't catch everything. It looks like this horse just might need a good equine chiropractor to adjust him. He moves very well to the right and if it was something seriously wrong bone wise, it would be more obvious. He finally did find the left lead, and his kickouts didn't look like they were because of habit, more like pain. Honestly he just looks slightly stiff and doesn't have the relaxation going on the left side, head extremely high, etc. If the owner wants to get this horse right, a couple chiropractor visits, (cheaper than vet, x-rays, nerve blocks, joint injections) I think it would do this horse wonders. Nice training though..

Hey Camille, I like your channel and watching you train horses! Thank you for sharing all that footage with us and giving us the opportunity to learn about your perspective/ideas on horse training. I want to share with you what I am seeing in this video, please dont take offense in it. This is my perspective on what I see in the video. Please get that horse checked up once again because he is clearly lame. You asking him to pick up the left lead for the lope seems to be a problem for him which is why he is bucking. To me it doesnt look like he is naughty or unwilling but rather he is saying "hey I am in pain and do not want to put that weight on my leg".

I really enjoy this. What can you do when a horse kicks out while under saddle with other horses going around? Mine does that when horses go around her. Also when I lunged her she kick me.

Awesome!

Great Job!!! I love your videos. It looks like to me, I could be wrong, but he was limping a bit on the one lead at the trot, maybe that is why he is kicking out at the lope? My horse did this once, because he didn't want to put the pressure on his one side. It look like he was bobbing on the one side. Left lead, he gets sticky and kicks out, maybe arthritis?? Because he seam very responsive on the right and going great with you otherwise.

Camille, what would you do if every time you did a one rein flex, asking the horse to bring it’s head around, the horse pinned his ears and bit your foot? That’s what mine does. Any advice appreciated.

Great training. He's beautiful, especially a beautiful mover when he's loping.

Dang, that handsom feller is all leg 😅

Quite a noticeable head-bob going to the left at the trot. Could be sore somewhere making him hesitant to take the left lead at the lope.

If you find you are still having issues down the road, I just wanted to put Wobblers on your radar for this horse. He is showing neurological signs when he turns in circles as well as other movements. Sadly my OTTB was found to be a wobbler after many different vet visits (most vets said foot sore or saw nothing wrong). He was never 'lame' but failed an in-depth neurological exam with movements just like Roy 😢

First time on your channel. I think you are doing a beautiful job with this horse, and he appears stiff and in pain.

Good footing!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed... But to add to the remark - he's landing toe first on left front !!! and on outside edge of hoof...not heel first or flat footed ... balancing and lower heels on that left front - would help

I love your videos so much! You have a good method training horses but I can see that this horse looks a little bit lame. I hope his owners can resolve this issue. I think he is kicking out because it hurts him to canter on the left lead.

Hey! I have a question that I can’t find an answer for! My horse bites or kicks at me when I go to get on him. And so does my mare. But my mare is for sure healthy. And I wanted to know how to fix it. But no one has an answer. :( I hope you do. Thank you. I enjoy your content. The kicking out probably while riding is also something my gelding does.

Is he as smooth to ride as he looks? ( Some horses have a rough trot and lope about jars you hard..that they aren't comfortable to ride). Is he tb? He's a nice looking horse.

Ps how tall is he? He on vid looks 16 hands or around that. Thanks

He's back is damage, hollow and very tense, neck is very high. He kicks because his back hurts. Stretch him down, go forward and relax his back. Very nice horse.

He looks a little ouchy on his left hind.

Hi there, I know you're a professional but how come you are not wearing a helmet?? Specially since this is a horse that has some behavorial issues

Where’s your helmet 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣

He is acting like he is lame. I would kick out too if I felt pain. Notice the head bob at the trot.

This horse is lame. Not just footsore but actually lame, I’m not riding him, so I don’t know but he really seems like he’s trying to do what you want. Some horses don’t tolerate pain like others do and it comes out in cranky behaviors. I think he’d become a lot more willing once he’s feeling better.

great video, but please please please wear a helmet. We need to start promoting more safety on horses. Not wearing a helmet increases your chances for a head injury should anything happen.

The more I watch this the worse it gets. This horse is LAME. He's off in his hind for sure, and probably even the front, and you're forcing him into a trot and canter, and ignoring all the signs of his discomfort. He literally is unsound. Completely ignorant to the fact that he can't physically perform what you're asking, and you only see improvement because he's just pushing through his discomfort. Blows my mind that you think this is him misbehaving, when it's so clearly discomfort.

Lovely training strategy but this horse is seriously hard to watch. He seems really off. Hard to imagine he's not struggling with pain or a neurological problem of some sort.
