Starting to train my unbacked 4 year old Red - Introducing: Join Up, Lunging, Walk Poles & Bathing! 

How refreshing to see someone who knows the Right way to start a youngster with ground work 😀

A lady who certainly knows what she is doing, and lovely to see Reds training done in a kind slow way no pressure. As you say Evie it is TRUST X

Evie this is extremely interesting to watch, i loved it!! And everything you did with him makes complete sense, as you listen to the voiceover!! Fascinating stuff, and definitely not boring, ill be watching the rest of this journey!! 👍 x. What a lovely boy!

Really beautiful to see someone start a horse off with groundwork!! What a lovely trusting boy - great work and I loved seeing the limited number of repeats!

Really interesting to see your interpretation of the process, Red gained so much confidence. Great to watch and not repetitive at all! More please!

It's super interesting! Thanks for your explanations. I look forward to seeing your and Red's progress. 😊

I'm biased, I just LOVE a big red bay!!!❤❤❤ He is gorgeous! Great job with the join up. It can be a bit controversial but if done correctly it is a great way to bond with a horse. My boy Lemme just loves the library work because of join up. ❤ Thank you for sharing this process.

I absolutely loved this vlog. It was fascinating watching you work with Red. He is a beautiful horse. He seems extremely intelligent & has a kind nature. I especially loved how quickly he learned to respect your space. He has a stunning trot, and he is showing to have an ability to remain balanced (seen when you lunged him in the arena). This is going to be an awesome partnership. ❤

Very far from boring! I absolutely love seeing it all in such detail, and can't wait to watch the next instalments of the process ❤

I don't even ride. I used to as a kid. But I still found this absolutely fascinating. You have such a calm and confident energy that you somehow seem to be able to transfer to your horses. Red seems a little star. Very curious but trusting and no bothered about the pidgeon or the doggies much.

Very refreshing to see an natural gentle slow approach. You clearly know your stuff and it’s lovely to see the bond between you both grow! I’m recently new to your channel and I absolutely love your videos! His future is looking very bright xx

Not boring at all! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together in amongst all the other things you're doing :)

You never fail to please. Your videos are such a joy to watch. Loving your journey with Red, Donut is my favourite and wow Red is really showing great potential! Looking forward to following Red's journey :)

Love that you make do with what you got. I also love the process so am excited to watch both of you grow! Thank you for the voice over.

Very enjoyable video of Red and his progress. He looks so calm and taking it all in. So nice to see how relaxed he is as he learns all these new experiences. He is so handsome too. Am excited to see the next instalment ❤🥰

Not boring! Very interesting. Love his floaty trot! ❤❤❤

I absolutely loved this video. So interesting and I learnt sooo much, thank you for sharing lots of the ground work and not just ridden! I might even have to watch it all over again to absorb all the information. You definitely don’t have to worry if it is interesting or not because it definitely is! Keep up the amazing vids! Also Red Is gorgeous nad going to be a cracking horse ❤

I loved this vlog, especially as I am just starting my young 4 year old. I found it very informative and definitely NOT boring, I'll be keeping my eye for more of these vlogs 🥰

He is gorgeous and ❤the way you’re teaching him thanks for showing how you started him great video

That was a very informative video, not boring at all!!!

It's not boring at all! I have backed and brought on many young horses and I still find it all interesting, I can imagine those who haven't and those who want to learn will find this very interesting indeed! He's doing so well, can't wait to see your progress with him! x

Absolutely interesting and looking forward to all the steps with your gorgeous boy!

Loved this video! Definitely not boring, so nice to see how you’re starting him ❤

Loved the join up and watching how you're so intuitive and patient🥰

Not boring at all !! Loved seeing the full process

He's such a beautiful boy and so smart your new baby is going to be amazing Evie can't wait to see who he becomes for you good luck with his schooling.

Loved every second. Fabulous 💜🐎💜

He is one gorgeous boy. Nicely done

Fabulous 🤩not enough people understand horse talk & the way a herd works ie that the Alpha moves their feet so no eye contact( a predator makes eye contact ) . We always found lowering their head to be a reward & a very safe place for them ie when a horse is in a heightened state you’ll notice head is up when head is lowered it is safe & they can relax also teaching them to back up by moving the their feet are all very important in the groundwork. Respect of space & a safe place is the name of the game = Trust . The old adage where the nose goes the feet go is very true in a horses world & you want those feet to follow you & move where you want in a respectful manner & not in your space .These are all very important parts of a young horses ground work way before backing occurs . I think he’s going to be a good fit for you , a lot to like with this big boy Evie x

Found this so interesting - what a privilege to watch Red's journey from the very beginning. Love your patience and understanding with this young horse, and he is catching on quick isn't he. Gorgeous boy. Excited to see how he progresses. Thank you for sharing.

Loved this. I'm just starting the process myself with my 4 year old so I've definitely got some tips. Thank you! Looking forward to the next.

This was an absolutely great video to watch and learn from, thanks x.

Super interesting and educational. Looking forward to the next parts. ❤

Such a good boy and so smart to learn so well so quickly. Great job!

Very interesting. He will be a great project as he is a lovely , sensible guy. Can't wait for the next video.

I love this video!!! ❤❤ Used to work at a stable backing horses in my 20ties as well! Really like how incredibly calm you are! This horse is going to be a really nice one I think!!! Can't wait for more! ❤❤

Very enjoyable videos…. Lovely to see a young horse’s progression ❤

Thank you for such a great vlog. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thankks for letting us watch your process

I used join up with my horse a few weeks after I got him, worked wonders! Great to see someone else using the technique!! Red looks fab xx

Love it, you work with horses as I do. Great video thank you.

What a beauty!

Absolutely fascinating Evie, please don't think for a second this was in any way boring. :)

Very well done, lovely to watch this, when i was in my early 20's i heard about Monty Roberts because the queen's Mum had asked him to back all the house hold cavalry horses, the horse whisperer film was not out yet and today people are riding with no tack!! but 30 yrs agO we were far from that.. .. i read the book Monty Roberts Join Up and i was a young wife in France at the time and i would tell everyone the same story you told about the dominant Mare, everyone thought i was crazy, I'm so glad to see 30 yrs later young influencers doing join up, bravO great to see.. Thank You

The great thing about waiting until your horse is four is that they can go straight into work. Edited to add that watching the Dually head collar in use is encouraging me to buy one for my horse. I'm currently using a stallion chain to lead him.

Loved this video Evie, so interesting. Looking forward to watching Red’s progress. He really is a beautiful boy.

Nice to see you back ❤I look forward to these ❤

What a good boy! Seems a real try-er! 😊 really enjoyable vid 👍

loved this so interesting and will be excited to see the whole journey, he is gorgeous 😍

if i had billions of dollars i would so hope that you would allow me to hire you to train me and all pony and horses i owned , i do not own any anymore , i only owned a few in my youth. but if i did now .... oh my word lady , you would be my first pick!!! smart young horse you have there btw : )

Good video, I'm looking forward for the next one and definitely don't find it dull. Your indoor school does slightly remind me of a horror film set, though. I think it's the scrawled letters on the walls in combination with the exposed power panel. Maybe you could diversify your income by renting it out at Hallowe'en? (For clarification, the line above is a joke, not an insult. My indoor school looks exactly the same.)

Very interesting and helpful thank you

Will his tail grow?

American style . I've never chased horses about.
