Nice job. I like your emphasis on teaching the horse in little bits, and on teaching him to put his head down through your patience and your great timing.
Best video about bridling a horse for the first time I have ever seen. Especially your explanations about avoiding tongue issues are seldom mentioned but important. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Germany.
Live your videos and advice. We have been training our own horses for a ling time but watching your videos I have so many Ah hah! Moments and geeze why didn't I think of that because it makes perfect sense. Thank you for sharing.
Love your videos and techniques, but I have one question. You seem to be able to work with horses so amazingly in just a halter and lead-rope for stirring and stopping and everything. Why put a bit in their mouth at all, why not just continue in a bitles bridle?
Nat he didn’t have an answer for you but as someone who trains for other people and prefers no bit I still teach it to every horse because most people use a bit so every horse needs to know what they are and how they are used
Thank you for the instructions! Sadly though, I have to handle a gigantic horse (well, in comparison to me). He lets you touch his ears, open his mouth, but as soon as you come to the part were you have to take something over his nose, he throws his head up into the air were you can no longer reach the guy. I wonder how to deal with a hard to bridle horse in this situation?
ok thanks. Having trouble catching our new pony with head collar but as soon as we get it over the nose it's ok. She walks away all the time. Usually have to bribe her with food. Should I persevere with the fake bridle routine (when she has her head collar on) until she's desensitized (a few times a day)
Maria Keenan that is such a loaded question and without seeing you put it on to see what is actually happening it’s hard to say what the answer would be
