This training is so important. Horses with potentially dangerous behaviors that were never corrected can find themselves in the kill pen no matter how gorgeous or well bred they are. Can't wait to see more videos of your progress with him!
Gosh I learn something new every time I watch you. I always groomed first then worked my horse…now I will work first, groom afterward. You have helped so many of us. I enjoy watching and listening to you so much.
Thank you for adding the comments directly on the screen and slowing the video to show the behavior and the reprimand together. It definately aids the learning process. Your skills are really amazing to watch! Thank you for this fantastic video!
Really great explanation of the gradation of correction. I’m going to show this to a student who always is reluctant to go to demand. It explains why my horse will very happily do what I ask but gradually gets balky with her. She has fantastic hands and seat, but I think this is the one message that will unlock her full potential. Leadership!
I don’t know you but I feel like you were talking about ME in your comment lol. If your student is like me, it’s a fear that creeps in making me reluctant to demand. My wild eyed mare charged at me one time in the round pen and that was all it took for that fear to set up shop in my brain. For me, it helps to see someone else make my mare behave and then I feel more confident stepping in and doing exactly what they did.❤
Thank you for your videos, they have been helping me overcome issues I have never dealt with! My husband is a natural rider, he sits a horse amazingly. All our horses now, (even my old retired horse) have become rude on the ground. I correct it but then in short order, they are in my space again. After listening to your videos, I see some behaviors my husband has been allowing and it is definitely causing the issues. My husband was never raised around horses so explaining how to "read" them is difficult for me. Your videos are excellently explaining cause and affect. By the way, some of us appreciate you not pushing negative behavior for the viewers benefit!!!
I had a horse like that. It's so important that you don't ever let him get away with what he wants to do instead of what you're asking of him. Love that you are always consistent in your cues. That way he learns to know what to expect and is never surprised by them. He will eventually become more respectful and do what you ask without complaining or threatening you. Horses are looking for a leader and if the person doesn't lead and is not consistent in what they ask, the horse will become the leader. I absolutely love the way you work with horses. Thank you for caring for them to take the time and patience to work through their problems and lack of training to make them good respectful usable horses.❤
He is very disrespectful and you were giving him plenty of opportunities to choose the right thing but he was ignoring you and could care less about anything you were asking him he needed exactly what you gave him, and thanks for talking us through this one cause he had all kinds of tricks up his sleeve, great teaching tool video!
Horses that whinney, constantly look to the outside of the circle and ignore your directions are very likely going to run over the top of you at some point, because you're just a distraction they don't care about. The saying "as much as necessary" when it comes to how much pressure to apply means exactly that; as much as necessary to get their attention on you, and to regard you as important and not a trivial annoyance. If you can't be that leader to them, then don't handle them, because they'll end up hurting you
I am glad to see that no matter how good a horse person you are, no matter how well you prepare and work from step one, sometimes even the best handlers have a dangerous behavior that needs corrected. But you don’t take it personal.
I learnt some really profound new stuff from this video. I do a lot of lunging, but the idea of the succession from active agression to passive was entirely new to me and a true aha-moment about my mare.
One of the things I love about horses is that when they know the Ask Tell Demand rules, they rarely give any grief when you have to use Demand. They know.
Interesting content definitely has me wondering if I'm a bit too aggressive. I would have lit him up pretty hard for that, you were a lot more diplomatic.
Excellent video Looks like he has pushed to tell he is in control in the past. Riding a horse that doesn't accept that rider as alpha can be dangerous for both. Liked watching him become more engaged while throwing a tantrum lol Looking forward to watching the progress.
It’s unusual that he’s a Morgan and I didn’t recognize it in him at all. I owned a Morgan from 9 mos. until he passed away. He was a strong beautiful horse but had a little stubborn streak sometimes.
He may be beautiful but he's a handful. Dangerous for an inexperienced rider. Looks are not everything. Happy to see he's getting the right training to turn him around. Then he should be a really nice horse to ride.
He definitely was not paying attention to you. He appears to be a little high-strung with a lot to say, but also intelligent. I like the way you handled him. Was there a final answer on his breed or mix? He reminds me of an Arabian but his tail doesn't fit. His head and trot do not appear to be Andalusian. He's a gorgeous boy whatever he is! Maybe Morgan? I'll look for a follow-up video.
I appreciate your kindness. I'm curious why you cut him so much slack in staying bent to the outside. Do you incorporate this further in your program? He seems like he is not paying attention to you except the bare minimum. He reminds me of off track TBs who have been "handled" not trained. They may be a Grade I stakes winner, but on the ground they don't even see you and plow right over you.
Looks and behaves like an Arab to me Tim. It might be a comment of the stereotypical sort, but I can see my one (the only one I had ever owned) in him, sometimes you wonder if you need to be so tough on them but it doesn't take long for the consequences to sneak up on you if you are not. You're doing a good job waking us up to what is actually going on with some of these horses. Jim - New Zealand
Doggonit, NZ and Australia have many strange critters, but there just isn't a buckskin Arabian! A real Arab would have figured out this program fast and nice. Guy wouldn't have had to doodle around all that time. Jeesh!
Wow this horse doesnt give a sh... about demand, being slapped on the hocks if this was either of my pair, well ive never had to do this with my two horses. Again another Great video. Thanks Tim
I believe he could be part Arab blood. He looks just like one of the horses at my dressage riding school. The owner breeds a lot of Arab blood and half blood.
@wendylabonte9330 That was written months ago. I've learned a lot since then. Thank you for your concern. I really appreciated Tim's help when I took my horse to him this summer.
Some people don't understand the "spanking" you gave him was nowhere near as harsh as a horse in his herd would have done to him. I had a mare tag a young gelding for not listening and everyone within 100 yards heard the sound of the kick she delivered!
I know I’m late to the party. Is he a kiger mustang? He looks too tall to be wild caught. And I’m having trouble seeing if it’s sun factor or non dun primitive markings. He doesn’t seem gaited????
Beautiful video, I wish my horse was trained by someone like you, I had a lot of issues (now almost totally solved) with him. I see you lounge them in a quite small circle, isn't it dangerous if they side kick? I was hurt a couple of times that way and I like a wider circle😅
My horse is exactly the same way, but he bites as well, while leading, and when he gets irritated as to the pressure I’m putting on him to tell him to do something, he drags me away, or tries to run me over, like this guy did. How can I work with him?
That's not new, that thought has been around for a long time. I think for personal horses that is a good idea. For trainers it is very impractical. That would mean at least a half acre paddock for each horse in training plus spacing between paddocks. The three issues would be maintenance of all that fence, cutting grass between all those paddocks, and the time needed to walk all the horses in to ride and back out. That additional expense would have to be passed to the owners and they would not be willing to pay the extra.
My horses love to be stalled when it’s hot outside and the flies are bothering them. They have their own fans. They go back outside when our cattle get up and start grazing.
Ahkal Tekke? Or maybe a big not extreme Arab? One of the 'stamina' (long distance) horses? You're going to be in the arena a while before you'll make him tired I'm thinking.
I was going to ask you if you used the same Ask Tell and Demand A T D with your children clearly you did .😂😅 A friend asked my 40 year old daughter what kind of mother was I. My daughter said she was strick but I always felt loved. And if my horse was able to speak she would say the same. I has and have the 3 count rule. That is far more than my father gave me.😅😚😊🤣
Who is this? He just popped up in my feed. Morgan , definitely not an arabian, Not enough go. He looks like Denali but i think the first time out with Denali he had just had cryptorchid surgery. (?) I can't find his playlist.
I sort of have a love-hate with this guess. I think the Arab thing is prejudice because he's portrayed as being difficult. Conformation-wise, Saddlebred maybe, but the Arab would be much more dominant, hello tail? I never knew an Arab that wouldn't have been smarter and kinder faster and made the guy look better, anyway.:)
Im just so curious, he seems so uneffected by demand i actually am really suprised, i feel like im missing something. Is this common of many horses,? i just cant believe hes so chilled as ive said earlier if i even tapped mine they would go cancering i barely ever need to ever touch them. But maybe i dont do enough training, mmm interesting.
@@timandersonhorsetraining I am sad if this is some "modern" Morgan. I actually was at the home of "Tutor" in Sonoma County California, and visited some of his late-life foals, with their purebred UVM dams. I don't believe there ever was a buckskin, for starters. Is this some fraud you are putting out?
Wow! I can't believe anybody else said this! Sadly, probably not. (What are the odds?) I think he's a random American Mustang, because he most definitely is not the one, only, forever buckskin Arabian!
