Thts like when my anxiety tenses me up before I start cleaning cause ik it's gunna take a lot of energy outta me. & I do the same pretending to be ok but is actually tense. Introverted and tense. This gave me a really good perspective I can understand their behavior more. I always try to understand their behaviors so I can take care of them right.
@@theravenscatalyst I used to watch his training videos, I forgot the horses name, but the palomino mare. His training Is technically good, but he’s abusive. So I stopped watching him.
@@dakotahstacy4013 he’s not abusive, he deals with the sever cases that no one else will take, the horses that are one step away from ending up in a slaughter house or euthanasia, and he keeps them from ending up there. I stopped supporting Parelli because he supports horse slaughter and I have seen what happens to the horses before they are slaughtered and it is inhumane and cruel, most of them don’t even survive to get slaughtered. Buck Brannaman is known as the horse whisper and was the inspiration for Robbert Redford’s movie “The Horse Whisperer”. Keep in mind that when you are dealing with an aggressive dangerous horse you have no choice but to do what Clint Anderson did in that one video people are talking about, I have actually been in that situation, when someone has trained the horse to attack people unintentionally, keep in mind also that other horses will do a lot worse to a horse like that in a herd environment. I got lucky in my situation because the alpha horse had my back, I almost ended up in the middle of a horse fight, I was asked to turn out a horse I didn’t know was dangerous, he took off across the field and I turned around to leave, the moment I turned my back he had circled back around and was charging at me, I was about 10 feet from the gate when I saw the alpha horse bolt out of the shelter in my direction with his ears pinned flat, I froze he went past me and collided with the other horse and put himself between me and him, it was absolutely terrifying to watch 2 large horse scrap next me. The alpha horse bit and kicked the dangerous horse, and ran him off, he came back to me after and stuck his head in my arms. To fix the other horses behaviour, a trainer had to do exactly what Clint Anderson did, there was no other way.
Click on Ryan's name and check out his videos. He has tons on groundwork & he explains exactly what his thought process is, in regards to what he sees in the horses behavior. He's so great! 👍🏻 Also, TRT with Tristan, Steve young for severely disturbed horses, but his technique remains the same and the horses become calm and responsive. Tim Anderson is good but I haven't seen alot of his groundwork, just him working inexperienced horses which is helpful for first rides. 😎
I've got to the point with my ponies that I can predict when they're going to blow so I blow and sure enough they blow and so it goes on and even the one tied up in the yard joins in! It's like a mass release of tension.
Hi Ryan I'm from Australia and watch your video's all the time I have a question for you. I have been riding for years but stop riding because of a back injury and part paralysed in one leg so yes I'm in a wheelchair. But what would your advice be to start training my horse again he hasn't been ridden for a while so it's just going to be all round work for now...
I've seen him comment on this and he says the blowing you're referring to, almost like loud purring with every canter stride, is not a good thing and indicative of tension. I'm experimenting with lots of canter transitions which eliminates the "purring" because it stops the tension building by keeping her more relaxed.
The girth is under his legs. The back strap on is to only hold the saddle back if big movement happens. Apparently there is a longer video. The back cinch was only there to help train the horse to stop bucking if something touched it behind the rider.
Yeah, I was kind of wondering about that too... Maybe the horse isn't used to a back cinch and the plan is to properly tighten it later when they are more comfortable?
Their hold body can and should bend in a circle if they’re supple and relaxed and balanced. Their body should look similar to a crescent moon from head to tail as they travel in a circle
If your horse isn’t bending their mid section, you should consider having your horse professionally measured to make sure the saddle fits. If your horse is still acting stiff, take them to the vet. Stiffness while riding can be a sign of an abscess or other common health problems.
In GB horsey women are clipper mad and remove any trace of hair even when all they do is occasionally walk around the block. Some expect them to live out like it all through the winter because they put a rug on them. By the end of the winter they look lean an leggy because they lose so much condition and it's all in the name of vanity. My ponies look like hairy round beasties in the winter with woolly knickers and beards. Yes, they don't look pretty when they're sweated up but manage them properly afterwards and they're just fine as nature intended.
