She would buck . Shes a warmblood. After years of being with her,I could systematically break her buck down.She couldtwist part of her body one way ,and the rest the other. On my 69th birthday, I could s.tell by then when she would buck. So I asked for her canter,and she got me off.When I went off ,she trotted past me . I had a retired trainer with me, who saw it all. She said look at that bitch! She smiled at you!

There is always a root cause behind every behavior issue and it is up to us to peel back the layers, listen to the horse and find the root cause. Pain is the number on cause of behavior issues so we always want to make sure are horses are not in pain before starting any kind of training with them what so ever. After we know they are not in pain then find the root cause and match the exercise to solve the issue. I hope your mare is doing good now. mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv

This mare today is a great mare and now does beginner riding lessons. When I am done with the horse training the owner is always safe to ride there horse again like this mare mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv

Thank You, that is an indoor arena and I am not sure what type it is but I will find out and let you know

Good Evening, In correcting this behavior I used the one rein stop where I flexed her neck and moved her hips. It works really well where a horse can not buck and disengage its hips all at the same time

As long as she is not in pain it is pretty easy to get them out of bucking, I have a bunch of horse training videos on how to solve bucking issues on my members page with a 3 day free trail at mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv

That she did, but today she is a great trail horse for anyone who like to trail ride

+Narelle Dess Let me know how it goes, send me a video of him when you get a chance and maybe i can help you out with the issue

I stay relaxed under saddle, if you tighten up she will launch you like a rocket, then as you saw I did the flexing and disengaging her his to stop the bucking, for more info e-mail me at info@crib-free.com

Mike when will you b coming to Houston Texas area ?? really need your help ??

I really need help and hard to find a general help ??

hold the saddle horn for dear life lol

@@shallowsilence2811 truth 😂😂

You can email me at info@crib-free.com or call me at 916-218-8136 :)

+Dana Foley Teach your horse how to flex and disengage his hips at a stand still, then do it at the trot, when your in the canter and you feel your horse getting ready to buck start flexing him and moving disengaging his hips, Before you canter him again spend a month on flexing and disengaging his hips a stand still walk and trott

I would start off by making sure the saddle fits her and that she is not in any kind of pain, After you have taken care of both of those issues get back to me at info@crib-free.com and we can go over it some more

The horse has to always be flexing and disengaging on the ground first. If not you won't be able to control bucking, bolting, and issues like that under saddle

+Erin Holley Good Morning, you might want to refer to my youtube video on the hard to mount and dismount horse, I did that demo in England last year and it should help you

+Jacqueline Steele you are very Welcome :)

We can always help you by teaching you and your pony the one rein stop along with some other exercises to solve his bucking problem mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv/

+HorseLuvr 03 I would ask for the transition then if she goes to do the buck flex her and move her hips and then ask for the transition again

+HorseLuvr 03 Hello, I hope you have enjoyed following my horse training videos, I would like to invite you to my Horsemanship Members page, Don’t wait and get started, there are over a 100 horse training video’s in full length, Let me know what you think of the site and I hope to see you all there, Just click on this link to get started mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv/

The 'Lost' Horse Training Secrets. I'm going to share with you the closely guarded and all-but-forgotten secrets that today's professional horse trainers either don't know or don't want you to know! dld.bz/Thelosthorse

Softening the nose means I pick up the rein and the horse responds by flexing in the directions I picked up the rein in a soft manner

I go about it in a much different way the first time along with the next 5 or 6 times I put the saddle on and cinch them up. So I don't cinch the horse up tight enough to where I would get on but tight enough to where the saddle won't come off. I do a lot of bit work on the ground with flexing and disengaging the horses hips. The first time I put the saddle on I do those exercises so I still have control over what the horse is doing which would be flexing and disengaging his hind end. Tomorrow I have a 2 unbroke horses I am going to start under saddle and I am going to video tape it and put it on my Members page at mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv . I also have several video's on my members page on starting unbroke horses under saddle with step by step easy to follow methods. The horses I do start under saddle very rarely ever buck with the first saddling or the first ride or ever when we are working with them. Bucking is for the turn out pasture as long as they don't hurt them selves. So anyways subscribe to me members page and when you do join my group page on facebook so you can post your video's with your horse and pictures along with asking questions so I can help you more. All the video's which are about 250 of them are in full with step by step easy to follow methods

@@Marcoeful thank you Mike, very helpful! Il definitely join xx

As soon as she kicks firmly tell her "Noooo" and rein her firmly around all the way 180° - go back to where you asked her to canter and do it again. Impress 2 things: 1 - What she's doing isn't acceptable 2 - She's gonna keep doing it til she gets it correct. Keeping her at the same spot as her misbehavior impresses she's doing something wrong right there - assuming you're not in a round pen, although you could still do this in a round pen too.

Thankyou for your advice. Personally I havent been quite brave enough to canter her myself. My mentor has been working with her on it, not entirely sure what he exactly does. But with this advice I might be able to do it myself 😁 over this past year she's improving, she was out of work for a while so a bit fresh. I had to work myself back up as well since I had a back injury that messed with my confidence. Again thankyou.

Good Evening, I would use this method as she won't be able to kick her heels up, flex and disengage her hip all at the same time. So if she know how to flex and disengage her hip then the kicking here heels up when go away.

Good Morning, I live in Auburn California, mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv

How he is going to starting listening to you under saddle is by teaching him certain exercises under saddle to where you have control over what he is doing. Once you have those exercises down then you will be able to ride where ever you want knowing you have control over where your horse goes and at what speed he goes out. if you would like to talk more email me at info@crib-free.com

Thank you!

X Native I have other video's of horses bucking in the Canter in the arena, Do you live in the U.K

sorry for the late reply but yes i do and i ride english x

+Phoebe Lunn Then I would go on to the next steps and get him soft on the bit by flexing, hip control, pre steps to mounting and dismounting, flexing under saddle, and go from there, also they need to be obedient on the lunge line and understand change of direction

+Phoebe Lunn Have you made sure that your horse is not in pain so when you do go to correct the behavior your not going against a pain related issue

Prior to that she was checked out by a chiropractor and she was good.

Every thing with her has been checked in every way possible by the vets. But after her last lesson over a year ago she has not bucked and with the amount of money the owners spent on her for vet checks I know she was not in pain and we did this before I started taking her out of bucking, I do how ever really like your input :)

ride her bitless she will be fine

After about the 5th lesson she came out of bucking mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv/

if he never does this and lets her get her way all the time then no progress is made for animals to they must at times do things they don’t want to do

She is great today :) she goes out on the trails and everything.

Mike Hughes You do so great with horses, first the stallion now this mare Amazing job!

Thank You so Much :)

Marit I have started a RU-vid channel about the same content horses riding and the cowboy lifestyle would love for you to subscribe

bitless! no need at all for bits

LOL, she was not in a good mood that day

Jeremy Young stallions are worse

Katie The Dog HD my 5 yr old gelding acts like a stallion some days and a mare in heat other and maybe once he is a bombproof gelding 😹 it’s the worst

He also will not stay on the track if i am doing anything but a walk, i have been taught to give and take on the outside rain and be bossy with the inside leg but he still won't stay, he just goes all over place when i try to turn or trot/canter

Done it is from 'lilstarlollipop'

They can be but this mare came out to be one great trail horse

That's good. Good job with her!

It's a woman thing😂😂😂

Don't tell a mare what to do, you ask a mare what to do. Kinda like women you know.

they are but i had a lot of mares in my rescue cuz no one wanted to put up with them. so what i did when i saw them cranky was to even lower so she has to put up her ears to hear and i touch the neck and give her a nice grooming, they loved it and they were ready. although that wouldn't work when she was in heat since we did have a couple of stallions around. i would grain my horses with calm and happy morning . i must say i love the way Mr. Hughes sits never gets angry and everything he does is like yea, you're gonna do this if it takes all day :) the horses i got were in bad shape and we did everything to get them to trust people again, it took sometimes all year for one stallion.

I am sorry to her about her filly died and she went crazy, I hope you have good riding horses today :)

Mike Hughes that happened back in the 70's. Will ride a horse tomorrow for the first time in almost 30 years,just trying to prepare

Hope your ride goes well ;) :) :)

Mike Hughes rode for two hours now I am sore.Woke up today and all my stress was gone.Well worth the 10 bucks I spent to ride! (*_~)

You remind me of my trainer 😂

There is certainly a lot that we can do to help you with your horse, e-mail me at info@crib-free.com and we can go over different exercises that will help you out. We can get the exercises going on the ground first so when you do get under saddle your horse will understand the exercises

+Mike Hughes thank you

hope u can get help. Buckin is always a symptom, and though it may not go entirely away once u fix the cause, at least you'll only get it when the horse gets nervous. First thing is always a full body health check and tack check. My horse who had never bucked in his life started doing so at the canter for no apparent reason and I ended up matching his buckin episodes with mild abcesses on his hind feet showin up on the next trim (he's barefoot). I started booting him on his hinds even though he had no apparent lameness, and he never bucked again. Somethimes it's really simple stupid stuff...

DJBelbe I can't get my horse to canter or trot cause I know she'll buck and she's. Horrible on ground work but I did try working with her and it kinda stop but she's still giving me some aggressive attitude

If you look really closely you will see I Do Not Have Spurs On. I already went through the reason she was bucking in the video.

+Jacqueline Steele Like with all my training horses they are vet checked for any pain related issues along with there teeth, back, etc. This Horse found when she acted this way people would get off her so it became a habit

What is the best way to get in contact with you and i will call you. Just let me know a good time

My cell is 916-218-8136

Horse do Buck, I am not sure what you mean but yes they do buck and they also kick out so they actually do both mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv

+Brook Franks There are better ways to go about taking care of the problem then hitting or smacking your horse

+Mike Hughes she only does it to be cheeky and if I don't smack her she will keep doing it and I will end up on the floor. I don't even smack her hard. Just a tap

+Brook Franks you put her in circles, and if you fall off you fall off and you get back on and work her

+Oh no Tyjo So there many different way to solve horse bucking, flexing the horse and moving the hips is the best way, If I get bucked off I don't just get back on, I want to get to the root cause of the problem and fix it, Then when time comes like with that mare I knew I could flex and move her hips to control the bucking

well u are an abuser, would love to smack u

Watch the video a little closer, I didn't have spurs on.

OK, thought you did because she explodes every time you touch her side... and the quality of the video isn't very helpful either :-) Nothing said then!

Yo shut the fuck up yo if anything I like riding with spurs because you can turn quicker

that stateent is so wron Marine... so wrong

Marine gamer55 wtf is wrong with you.

Let me educate you a little bit here, Animal abuse is a federal felony which means if you did whip the shit out of a horse or any other animal you will spend the next 7 years in prison if you caught. Whipping and causing pain is abuse and it teaches the horse nothing. A step by step program in solving the issue is always the best way to go. Today that mare gives riding lessons to children and special needs children. Beyond that how would you like it if someone beat the shit out of you for something they didn't like you doing

I will guarantee you there was nothing physical wrong with the horse, the horse was not in pain at all, Today she is a great trail horse for beginners and kids. Along with that I would not train a horse that was in any type of pain or discomfort what so ever. Now lets get to the American part of your statement, that is very uncalled for. My video are on here to help people with there horses and has and always will be in the best interest of the horse :)

Emma Richardson I agree.The horse is reacting to pain.

If she was in pain under saddle, she would have bolted, not allowed him to mount them try to buck him off. That is learned behavior.

+Jennifer Lalonde Thank You :)
