How do you know when to close the door?

That’s really cool and all ma’am, how the heck do you train that to a stupid ass horse that only wants to turn left?

I don’t know but letting her get that stored up energy out might have been better before trying to get her to focus on jumping ,she was ready to go bronco lol , a good warm up in a round yard would have took the fire out of her where she just wanted to play , that’s not ideal if your going to get on her back to do this lol , great demo of her introduction to jumping though . 👍

Thank you so much, my daughter is working with a mini this year for the first time and he likes to lean into you 😂 He hasn't had any training yet and he is 10 so we are having fun.

U never have to hit a horse with a whip! EVER.

Thank you!!

My horse pulls all the time no matter what. Any tips?

Thanks Ashley, great video. How old is Paris? She is beautiful.

I had to evacuate a young unbroken horse during the Australian fires in 2020. His paddock companion was a very old Andalusian who was a rescue and had phobias about being trailered. The only float I could get a hold of at the time was very scary, the floor was terrible and the bars were fixed at the front. It was raining fire and I had no option but to force both these horses on. The young fella fell over twice and got caught under the bar. It was literally my worst ever nightmare come to life. So now some four years later I am feeling able to start training my beautiful boy to float properly. He is awesome under saddle and the ground work I have done has helped but we are both traumatised about the events of that time. This video has helped me so much. Because it is calm and unhurried. My lovely little fella is walking on and backing off but I think it will be sometime before I can close that bar. Or the door. Or travel. But thanks for this it really has helped.

Well handled

This is awesome!! Just subbed

We have a two horse straight haul and have recently discovered that my one gelding may be a ‘scrambler’. Other than buying an angle haul, do you have any suggestions on how to stop him from thrashing around? He does it mainly on corners.

I have a horse who tends to take off full gallop on the Lunge as soon as I send (no matter how small I ask). Im going to employ this technique to slow her down initially! Thanks for this video

How often would you do this and how long do you practice?

This was a great comprehensive list of what my horse should be able to do.... But how do I get there? My horse dances around and won't pick his feet up

I know my horse will go in the trailer but I usually have to coax him with food and even that doesn't always work or happen fast enough. Ive only had him since March and this has been a known thing. He's 9 but I'm hoping whatever caused this fear or hesitation hasn't scarred him for life. He definitely has come back sweaty on a few occasions and there was a time he wouldn't go in for me but went in with someone with more experience that he didn't know. It's been frustrating since I want to haul him for lessons. I'm trying methods like this, going back to the basics and making him feel safe. I'd like to get to a point where I don't have to keep using food as a motivation. I don't use the longe whip but that might be a helpful tool. Someone also told me to just keep him moving to build momentum into the trailer. He typically baulks right before we get to the entrance of the trailer and won't budge. I reward him each time he takes a step forward. It seems like I have a long road ahead.

Love it!

My mare will will load and stand. But when we go down the road. She starts to paw. Every trip is different. Sometimes she eats her food and is dry. And sometimes she doesn't eat and is sweaty. But she paws most of the time.. . Any thoughts?? Thanks in advance.

Do you have any videos of teaching a horse that doesn’t already know how to do this? So that we can see the process along the way.

Why not let her get down and roll, and then reconvene the connection game? What's wrong with a good little roll?

Thankyou!

Thank you! As a new horse owner and loving my farrier, I want to learn your techniques. 💝

horse back riding pants and boots are cool. 😍

This is exactly how I'd like to see all horses travel over jumps.

This is super interesting. I'm teaching my 20yo to jump. She's loving it on the ground but I haven't gone over a jump in years. She's at 19 inches happily when I run by her and lead her. She's trot over poles of nine inches fine, and done the occasional tiny hop trot with me on, but I'm holding her back. She's very confident on the ground as I reward her for every time she goes over, whether she knocks a pole or not. If she doesn't we just keep going. We are hoping to do schooling shows!

you are so cool to tame horses. 🤩

Picking up, and cleaning hooves should be part of everyday grooming.

I see that you end the session when Paris is relaxed and has passed through the adrenaline moments not before. This is super helpful to actually see the transition! She is a spitfire. LOL

Success is in the details and what makes the difference. Thank you very much for facilitating the learning of such important things.

The feeling of seeing a horse running happily towards you must be the most exciting thing to achieve. I will try until I succeed. Thank you very much for your videos!

That was exactly what I was searching for! Can you also do it without a cone after learning the basic movement? I would like to recall my horse from a distance but there isn't always a cone ready

Very usefull and fun approach!

First time watching this I focused on the horse, Paris. Second time watching I focused on the trainer, you. I see that your posture & body carriage always send a calm & safe message even when you have to match her rising energy. That is certainly one of my goals~to be aware of what my posture might be saying and to keep it the center of a safe place!

I love how connected they are!

This helps so much thanks.

excellent advice

This was amazing. I see a big mistake I am making. I can get my big guy in and close the divider but he comes out dripping wet. I feed him his grain in there in the morning, but now i understand why he is not eating...he is stressed. He is way too big to allow him to turn around, so backing out is allowed. I will try your method tomorrow morning and allow him to just stand for a few days.

Beautiful!

Giving the horse that responsibility must make the rider more relaxed too since she doesn't have to think about micromanaging right before and after the jump.

I love how you reinforced the "not that, this" concept, even with sass!

I have a random question for you. What material is your arena fence made out of? It appears to be made out of a flexible material but I can't tell for sure. I am trying to make an outdoor arena on a lower budget and am trying to explore my options. By the way, I stumbled on your channel tonight and am loving your videos! Your demeanor is so calm and kind while you are clear about how to execute each practice. I look forward to learning more from your channel!

Wow ...! Are you kiddingme?! That's incredible! Thank You Ashley!

Glad I found this video, my new spotted saddle mare has actually broke my lunge line pulling so bad! She behaves beautifully on the ground until I ask her to do something she doesn't want to do (like lunging)

Thanks, good ideas.. I am curious.. when you send him out are you asking for the HIP to disengage.. AND Asking for the face to come in? Pulling the face in??? My horses will Trot on a loose line just fine but when I ask foe the Lope they start to lean or pull a little.. So.. Apply the same technique when you ask for more speed?

It's so nice to be able to watch this multiple times!

Nice! Gotta try this .

I love your method. I see alot of things I was doing wrong. I have one question please. Should you let him turn around. I would be afraid of getting ran over? Thankyou

Oh Jed! 😂❤️

Thank you!! Now I know what to wear!!!!

Thanks Ashley! Great information. 😁
