This is amazing. My previous trainer\farrier beat my 2 yr old filly with a rasp bc she couldn’t stand still. She has since become very nervous about having her feet touched and would break her halter or fly back. I tried your way of grabbing the toe this morning and she wasn’t tied or anything. What a night and day difference in cooperation. Thank you so much for making these videos

Thanks for the video! I will try this on my mare 🥰

Interesting analogy. True point, this leadership thing.

Great video. My second time watching and saw different things each time. Hang in there, she is beautiful.

Dennis that didn't look very good ...sorry but what's the purpose of widening his hands? Maybe for a young horse but for a beginner rider there's a better way to manage his reins in m my opinion. Thanks for Video.

First video of yours that I have seen, and I’ll tell you what, I sure like the heck out of the way you compose yourself and work with horses. You speak from pure experience and you’re somebody that I could listen to for hours.

Thank you! Dressage lesson to hip hop. 😂

That barn cat 😅

Dennis, this was spectacular! Horse is nice as well. You knew what to do, & when to do it. All the while, sharing your knowledge with your viewers. You are a master horseman. I have great respect for you. Thank you!

Handsome horse 😍

This video shows the insane level at which Mr Cappel rides at… At 7:35 Mr Cappel feels the wrong lead before it even happens. Even behind this keyboard I had to replay it 3 times to try and see what he felt. It’s one thing to feel it but then he proceeds to correct it!! Holy cow! The timing and feel it takes to be able to do that is no small ask. Then he is able to talk through the ride and lesson!!! Good lord that’s crazy. I know I don’t have that bandwidth yet, but it is beautiful to see. The results are in the video, a horse between your legs, off your hands, and listening for the next ask. Also very elegant way of saying the horse is good, it’s the humans that get in the way. Not everything needs a tool or is the horses fault. I appreciate that you defend the horse and make it feel safe/comfortable. On to the next one!

So in order to get his left shoulder to reach forward in a left-lead canter, he needs to have the least amount of weight on that “corner.”

17:44 amazing result after such a short time. Once his body was corrected, his mind could understand easily what the question was… no comfusion between your question and his body mind connection. It all just clicked for him 👍 amazing thank you for this clear visual of how it can work so easily if we are clear and they are clear.

Im kind of stuck in my own sequence.. I dont have a horse trailer, and the group i was in no longer exists. They helped me a lot with moving forward. Since i dont have a horse trailer my horse does not get out much, he is often bored - if i take him out to walk around, he freaks out and gets stressed. I dont know how to get him comfortable walking around outside of his pasture without getting him or myself hurt.

I have watched most videos on youtube on this subject - and this has by far been the best! You speak with obvious experience and attunement with the horse, very clear, very visible - showed a few different methods and explained why they work. Thank you for this!

I have one that will not let you pick up her back feet, what can I do?

No one on UA-cam explains things like you do. You stand out in a sea of horseman making videos. Your attention to detail and your ability to articulate is invaluable to many. Keep up the good work 🐴🇦🇺🦘

Excellent video. Today we started working on the same issue with my OTTB. When I shorten the rein, she slows down and stiffness/pushes against the bit. Great demonstration and explanations. I will try it again on our next ride.

Be peaceful, calm, & agreeable. Stand steady! Go forward.

Maestro, you sure do make alot of sense.

So true! When a horse cannot find a release from pressure! I'm understanding this after way too many years. Thank you, Mr D! Almost 6,000 views!!

Fantastic! Thank you! Great riding & commentary.

He acts like old spinner used to act,

Dennis a lot of horse owners, especially beginner and female owners (this includes me and is just an observation !), would immediately jump to a vet evaluation of the horse. When you get a horse like this what is your first consideration ? Out of all the horses you’ve gotten with a problem like this horse, how many have ended up with a medical rather than behavioral issue ? I find cowboys rarely seem to have horses with medical related behavioral issues whereas most of the amateur horse owners I know have the vet out every other day (again this includes me !😅)

Whenever I try to pick up my horses hoof she will start to put wait on the leg that I’m holding up until I drop her leg so she doesn’t fall. I have tried to pick her hoof up then let it go for a reward but she just refuses to let me hold it. So I want to ask for advice and criticism on what I’m doing wrong or how to fix this behavior. Thank you so much

Yes, the owner doesn't have a clue about horses. She should've have a horse.

Looks like shes sore on the front

Excellent point! Energy is how horses communicate with each other, that plus boddy language. So it does follow that a horse can read our energy. All the more reason to be relaxed and clear-headed when approaching a horse.

What a treasure you are!

I need you to train my horse lol!! I don’t think I’ve ever had a horse like that. Very impressive!

I love this video. I have one ponny mare that is a biter, so I don't have.the guts, to turn my back on her, 'cause she is unpredictable... may I please ask for advice. Thank you!

Best clip I’ve seen from you Dennis. Job well done.

In 55 years of owning horses I have never seen such an improvement in a lame horse due to shoeing. 😊

Very interesting. I haven't seen this before.

What packing did you use ? Please do an update on him, very curious to see how he does. Also it seems like he is more noticeably lame at the walk vs the trot , what does that mean ?

Can you talk about Club foot

Understanding that a different bit won't fix many problems, but the right bit can certainly improve the pleasantness of your ride.

How could this poor animal get in this shape

Great video I have a horse with the same issue vet and farrier helping me now.

where did you get your pelham?

Looking forward to seeing how the new shoeing goes. I love the way you describe what is happening and .

I think you should get off his back so he isn’t in so much pain call the vet

Great explanation of your plan to get this horse some relief. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Very good explaination. Thank you!

Really looking forward to the follow up. My horse just got diagnosed with a suspensory injury in the left hind and just exactly as you said it was mild intermittent lameness. He has front shoes but no back shoes; he may need back shoes too (I’m hesitant about it !) but curious to see how this horse responds

Great description and explanation of how you are working to relieve and correct this horse’s lameness. So interesting to me. Look forward to the follow up video

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. ❤

I watched this video several times and recognized some of this same behavior I have been working on in my newly purchased horses attitude. Thank you for these great videos Dennis

Watched your demonstration on preparing a horse to lift his feet for shoeing. Wondering how you would recommend shoeing a horse with wobblers. Two year old gelding that developed wobblers when he was almost two. He's lifting front feet well and using straps to learn how to lift back legs. Wondering if you would recommend using a strap harness when his feet are trimmed?

Found this demonstration very informative. Thank you.
