I used to work exclusively with gaited horses. I trained and consigned horses for sale. I also showed flat shod Walking Horses--no Big Lick or shows that supported Big Lick. I cannot express how poorly trained gaited horses are in general. They use bitting and shoes to "solve" problems rather than training from the ground up. I constantly had women in her age range come to me who bought a gaited because they want the smooth ride and not have to "work" to ride, and there was always an accident involved because of the poor training of the horse. I cannot emphasize enough how EVERY horse needs good quality training before a beginner or inexperienced rider buys and rides him. Gaited horses need just as much training as any other breed!
My safety choice when trail riding is to add a small Swiss bell to a ring on the cinch. It’s not obnoxiously noisy but the deer, turkey, rabbits, etc hear us way before we’re on top of them. I don’t even notice the bell anymore.
I had a 6 year old Missouri Fox Trotter who I found out was to much horse for me! She spooked on a trail at dusk turned 180 degrees and ran and I mean ran! back to the barn through a field! I fell off and broke my tail bone and had a concussion.I was out of commission for 6 months. I never trusted her again and was so scared to ride her again,that I sold her to a great family who to my surprise had no issues with her. I wish I could of found someone who could of helped me get my confidence back and help me with her.
She, definitely, is in the strongest part of her heat cycle. So, with that, she did quite well trying to focus when she was, clearly, wanting attention for the gelding/stallion tied in the arena 😉
IMO any horse would have spun from a turkey suddenly flew up in front of it…. Horses are prey animals and will “get outa dodge”” as quickly as possible…. from that type of situation…
Owner timidity can be sensed by the horse. Rider confidense is paramount.
I'm just curious was there a stallion in the area ? Cuz she was acting like she was in Heat which probably has nothing to do with anything just curious
Oh, girl! I am still recovering from a broken wrist. My gaited horse also spooked!
Not the horse but the owner who needs training both on the ground and riding skills .
My horse bucks when I ask him to canter, what should I do?
What a lovely horse. Owner is smart to go to Ryan.
Excellent video! Loved how you explain about the horse being in tune with our intention rather than external energies
Probably one of your best videos. So much great advice and techniques... I'll re-watch that a couple of times for sure.
What a lovely mare. The homework sounds just interesting enough to be fun and it will probably go well. I'm happy for you.
Ryan, one of things I learned from your video is posture. Good posture is so important. It shows you have a relaxed and good connection with the horse as you ride. One rein stops are very important. I use that all of the time when im riding. Also, i make sure when trailriding, i always make sure i have a relaxed rein, yet with less slack in the reins to have control, but not pulling on the horse's mouth at all.
Another helpful and educating video, thank you. 👏
Great info. Well done.
Great content. I wish my riding instructor would have taught me this in the first series of riding lessons I took! Very valuable information!
Love that you said, training is always, it's not one and done, it must always continue. She's a good horse, needs a little stronger leadership. I would have corrected her for the constant trying to "get" your jeans.
