Loping - Fixing a horse that kicks out | Colt starting Series - Nala's Journey Part 8 

My hat's off to you for your fine video and riding. I had a very similar experience with my young horse when starting training. He bucked every time I asked for canter. With my trainer's support I stayed on for over an hour asking for canter, getting bucked, then waiting for a nice canter, dropping back to trot and redoing the whole thing again over and over again. I was scared as all get out because it was on my 16 hand Hanoverian who was very powerful. But after an hour, he finally figured out I was going to stay on and quit the bucking. The key to staying on was sitting "BACK" with my hips in front of my shoulders. I felt like a rodeo rider, but it gave me great confidence riding the bucking.

I need to get brave and start riding my 6 yr old. I thank you for filming this session.

I have trained horses b been around horses all of my life n I have trained like you do. Most people don’t understand horses, no one gets it n understands horses like you do. I am very impressed with you. Best wishes n God Bless.

Wow you are a rock star!!!

I learned a TON from this video, and this entire series as a whole. Thanks for sharing with us!

I didn't really understand the physics in the bit but now I do because I bought a horse that was trained with one and you taught me what I didn't understand

Just an idea for you, but if you will take a headstall with a bit n no reins. Take the headstall with bit n no reins n place it on your colt while your colt is in the stall n leave. Remove hay n grain so it won’t get around the bit. Letting them wear it for about an hour each day for a couple of days. This will give them time to get use to it n adjust to the feel of it. That way they can learn how to carry it in their mouth. Then when you go to riding them they will b comfortable with the bit. You can even do it early in the training then let them wear it with the halter while you do some round work n desensitizing them.

Good job with that beautiful little girl.

I was getting really confused because she was talking about colts all the time but is riding a filly ... but very helpful video, thank you so much!

She’s looking so good! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and training with us!

Great video, I saw things I need to work on in my colt starting.

You guys sure are Handy. I like how you LET her take a few lope strides then cycled back down. On another note, my colt started kicking out and I thought he ended a little correction, now discovered it was onset of ulcers... I'd sure like to cross paths with ya some time!

I love your explanations. I always have take aways x

I've really been enjoying this series, I'm always picking up little bits of advice to use in my own colt starting 😊 I have a mustang mare that I've been starting slowly and she kicks out at the canter, I'm getting her a chiropractor adjustment but it was nice to see how you handled it in this situation.

Very nice video for learning!!

Impressive, very impressive.

Thanks, very interesting and helpful. Am a newbie with only maybe two dozen lessons at several stables and a few (very fun) trailrides out West. It’s helpful to see correct form for trotting and loping.

Amazing

Do you have a video on picking up feet? I’m enjoying these videos.

Why no back cinch? When do you put that on?

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

👍👍👍👏

She's a good colt LOL 😉😁

Question time !!! 😂 I have a horse who is TERRIBLE at lunging. She will drag you places, but if you try to bring her head in she stops. How can I fix this? She thinks me trying to get her head in and for her stop dragging me means to stop. Tips??? Edit: Also, did you ever find where you got the flag stick? Edit 2&3: (sorry !) Why do you sit instead of posting when you trot on a colt? And 3 how big is your round pen?

Ein deutscher Untertitel wäre super ☺️ Die Videos sind echt super
