    Thanks for the trailer loading tip. It would help to see how you tied the knot at that height. If you’re short that may be a challenge. Could you also show how the traditional tie up works and contrast how this method is better. Thanks and happy trails!

    Head needs to be lower and Bob to get 4 beat gait, or else the back is hallow. Hold reins lower and open for them to drop head, release when they lower.

      Not if you're trying to rack. The rack is my gait of choice. The head isn't high, but also isn't low.

    Begin turning it in a circle. Making the circles tighter.keep this up. Or use the pully rein. Pull 1 rein back against the withers. Keep pulling back. We use this on the hunt field sometimes to stop suddenly.

    You are overthinking this. The mare should lead easily (all of your horses should halter and lead and load) Put a halter and lead on foal AND mare. Lead the mare and the foal follows. No trauma, no discomfort ... they follow the mare and get used to the feel.

    it is far easier to teach it on a short side wall then advance to long arena wall instead of trying to do this in a circle - the lack of forward momentum is due to you disappearing from sight behind them. Instead, start behind them and have them solid on cues with reins before asking for lateral.

    Hi Matea, I just adopted a 18hh Clydes and his head is very high especially when i put the parelli halter pushing down his head just to be able to tie the knott. Is your exercise can improve him? or do you propose something else? For your Question at the end of this video yes i'd like to see the whole process with Sally cause that's how learning the most. trial and error. Thx

  • @krdorner

    See I don't really view the leg as cheating... I don't quite understand how you're actually making her do the turn, she's stopping and you continue holding your hand, do you nudge with your leg at that point or are you giving gentle pressure with the direct rein? My goal with my horses is to get them totally onto leg pressure, but I do understand that isn't quite 'neckreining', although if I can get rid of mouth pressure, that's amazing!!

    Have definitely noticed that a lot of horse owners don't take the time to disengage the hind quarters and make that horse turn and wait while they close the gate!! It's definitely good practice and can/should be done whenever and wherever! I do it when I bring them out of stalls, out of the trailer, in and out of gates, even untying from posts. It's just a great habit to get yourself used to doing so your horse finds it a natural thing to do. Consistency is very key. We've been training our almost 4 yr old since the day he was born and we get quite a few compliments on him. Good point to bring up,!✌️

    Apologies if it's just my eyesight coupled with shadowing in the video, but I was curious why you aren't using a rope halter with knots on new horses when lunging on the circle? A training halter has 4 knots over the nose and effectively communicates with proper pressure. I know everyone runs out and gets the overpriced C. Anderson one but there's a company based in WA state called Knotty Girlz and their halters and lines are as good, if not better. And like 1/2 the cost. Ladies are super kind on the phone and products arrive promptly. We made a permanent switch 2 yrs ago to rope halters with any ground work and just use the typical halter when leading to the field, transporting or showing. They make a fantastic difference and allow more effective communication between horse and human humanely. Horses are a lot more intelligent than most humans give them credit for, it's just about finding the bridge to open the line of communication between species.

    The TWH I walk often bows out. When I try to fix him, he doesn't seem to understand that he's supposed to move off of leg pressure. I guess he was never taught to move off leg by his previous owner. Idk how someone could live without obedience to the leg
