We have one horse that does not always like to stand still at the mounting block. The struggle is real and this was so helpful. I really appreciate this video.
I love this!! I already taught my 6yo standardbred with standing still at the mounting block, she does get very excited with rides so as soon as she feels me get on she just wants to go😂. She is still learning and I'm doing this technique as she needs this education. But I absolutely love your advice❤
So pleased I watched this, I get 1 foot in the stirrup and she walks either sideways or backwards! So definitely trying these advice tips today! Thank you ❤
This works. Also instead of you bring your horse to the mounting block. Have him come on his own. The logic behind this is if he is coming to the the block he’s not moving away. That’s how I did it. I pick up my hand and she comes to the block. In her head she’s moving toward not away.
I love all your videos!!!! I just got my first horse ever!! I've wanted a horse my whole life and I finally got one, a rescue, at 47 years old!! Thanks for all your tips and advice!! Its so easy to understand!!
Oh jeez. This is soooo helpful with my mare. Mountain block issues. The rein work info is great. Thank you. I’m a new super fan. Way to go. Appreciate the uploads, your training skills and your delivery with teaching. And Tucker is do adorable and playful!
Love this! My horse is over 18 hands tall so I need him like perfectly positioned so I can get my foot in the stirrup (even with a 3 step mounting block). I've been able to get on without someone holding him now!
Very helpful for my training with the mare of my friend. She hates when I stand „above“ her and she can’t stand still. So I keep your infos in my mind 🥳
Hello your videos are so helpful and your horse is adorable!!!!! And Mabye u can do a video where u set up a little corse with jumps and stuff!!!!! that would awesome!!!!! Tank u for your great videos!!!!!
Hi! i've been watching a couple of your videos, they are great! thanks. i just got my horse a month ago and am starting to do some ground work with just a ropehalter, the thing is when i turn his head standing at his shoulder he seems to have zero flexibility and starts backing up instead of just giving me his head.. like what you would do for emergency break but from the ground....what am i doing wrong?
Can you make a video about horses that crowd near the round pen gate while your trying to train. My horse does good at first but when she is tired she runs right towards the gate. I’ll ask for a trot or canter and she will go straight towards the gate. I’m just starting riding her and is out of shape. Any tips are helpful
Try clicking at her and swinging the end of a rope and if that doesn't work get a lunge wip and kinda swing it at her back legs then try smacking it hard on the ground and get after her dont be afraid to get after them trust me ice learned that lesson my self.
I have the same problem when I have mine on a lunge line. He will get right on top of me and not move, I push him back and he comes right back on top of me. If I have him in the round pin not connected to anything he does good. But I can't get him to go on a line for the life of me
@@kryssynation6366 yes, it is very annoying for me as well I have never gotten him to lunge on my own, however my trainer has before, she starts by getting up close to him and then waving the rope in his face until he backs up and then immediately uses the whip and taps him on the butt to get him going. I have tried with this method and so far I am unsuccessful but if it works for you then great!
I don't have much experience with this myself, but make sure you're standing straight and tall, and give off a bit higher energy. If you're more relaxed then your horse will likely try to take advantage of this and won't want to do any work. Sometimes you can twirl the rope fast enough in your hand that it makes a noise to get the horses going without having to tap them on the hip or the bum. If he's getting right up in your face, shake the lead line a bit and take a confident/more aggressive step towards the front of his shoulder until he backs up. We have some overly friendly lads that like to get too close and this method has worked on a couple of them. It's also taught them that a shake of the lead line means to back up a bit. Hope this helps! I'm sure there's better tips, but this is what's worked for us!
I want to do this but um horses is injured so she cant trot so I cant do the lunging thing and my mounting block is out side of the arena so I am worried to do the one rein stop. What do you think I should do or do you have any advice? thank you so much you vids help a lot
This video for teaching a horse to stand still at a mounting block is much better. It uses positive training and works very well. You don't need to punish your horse by sending them out on a lunge rein when they aren't doing what you want. You can get them to stand relaxed and happy by rewarding them instead. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MAe4xYt16ZI.html
Great video, but it did not address what to do when the horse moves backwards (not forwards) while you are trying to get him to stand at the mounting block.
I'm going to definitely try this with my mare next time she tries to walk away from the mounting block. I currently have another problem I just now learned about my horse, the barn where she lives recently added goats and while the goats were let out to graze she ran through the fence and charged the goats. The goats are fine and escaped from her and she's okay after it but this is unacceptable behavior and I'm not really sure where to start dealing with it.
My trainer uses this method with horses who are anxious around livestock like cattle and maybe this will work for your mare! I would try putting your horse in a pasture next to the goats with a few people inside the pasture with the goats and her incase she gets aggressive/spooky. Let her see the goats, listen to them, and get comfortable around them. If that works another method is putting her on a lead rope in an arena and having a few goats in the arena with her. If these don't work Im so sorry
@@pestilence654 thanks for the information, the barn owner has been slowly making the goats presence the normal around her under supervision and now my horse seems to be ignoring them, even when the goats wandered into her pasture. I'm hoping she's gotten over her dislike for them but I'll definitely keep these tips in mind if there are future issues. I think it's possible she had never seen a goat before and didn't know what it was and maybe just needed to see they weren't a threat but I really have no clue lol.
