Hi Jack! Have been putting in a LOT of time studying horse training & riding. I love your videos!!! You take it slow & explain every detail & why. Makes learning easy & understandable. Thanks so much for teaching that way & all the effort to make the videos.
nice video, I have a young horse that doesn't want to move forward at the walk, she just has 1 speed. I like the ideas of the 2 crops as using more leg is 1. not making her go more forward and 2. not teaching her to be responsive and light aid.
This is exactly what I need to do. I restarted my horse and he just hasn't figured out how to balance someone yet and he's so soft that any movement I make he's taking that as stop so I definitely need to figure out how to teach him that I'm going to move in the saddle and that's okay and you need to keep going.
So unfortunately we never make it more than a couple steps because as I move with him he wants to stop because he feels off balance. This is a 16 year old horse that I restarted completely because in the past he's been ambushed by people asking him to move and his general response was to take off bucking. Fortunately I don't see that anxiety in him anymore since we restarted and he has a great foundation now, but he's not used to balancing people anymore
Restarting my ten yr old one eyed rescue pony and need him ready by fair July 31st for walk trot. And I spent 2 weeks desensitizing him and standing quietly while I get on but he won't walk forward shakes his head stomps his feet and can only back him and circle him. Doesn't neck rein and tosses his head if I try to get him to bend his nose to my foot so doesn't respond to reins
