My horse was not very fond of me and only listened to my dad, but I did the things in this video and he no longer wanted my dad to ride him but me! Thank you so much!
I take lessons at a farm with 14 horses but my favorite horse, Trooper was always bullied by the other horses, never got the right nutrients because of the feed and because the other horses were stealing his food. He is skinny, and always a kind of sad horse. My family is buying him soon and we have a good friend with 3 very healthy horses and she offered to keep him at her farm and will feed and take care of him. ❤️❤️
I've always been taught that if you need to give hard feed to a herd, you should always spread them out on a circle (ideally) and to have more bowls with feed in than horses. That way, if they're bullied off one feed, there should always be a spare bowl. It's not fail proof, but it helps. I prefer to just tie up, or put them in the stables to give horses hard feed, so they don't have to worry about others driving them off food. I'm glad he's ay another yard and yours now. You'll have fun learning with them ❤❤
Thank you for all your interesting and helpful videos. In my case, all of my horses are “just” pets, I hang out with them, spoil them… they are rescued horses and some have trust issues.
Tucker is such an impressive horse. So good-natured. It's wonderful to see the level of trust between you two. And, even though looks aren't everything, it is worth mentioning that when he patiently stands beside you and looks to the side with his ears pointed forward staring into the distance, he's all picture perfect grace. 4:13 and 4:26
I love your videos; after 40 years of wanting a horse that is about to happen and your videos have been really helpful ! I am super excited but also a bit panicky but you have helped to dispel many of my ‘silly’ fears and self doubts. The main thing I have taken from you is to relax, don’t rush it but most of all to enjoy the amazing experience of owning a horse 😁
Your videos are amazing. Happy New Year to you!!! I started volunteering at a dressage stable last month because I wanted to learn about horsemanship before taking lessons to be comfortable around horses and bond with them. Next year I plan on taking lessons and part board a horse. For the first month, I just want to do ground work and getting to know the horse and bond. Your videos are seriously a goldmine for beginners like me 🤍 Thank you 🌹
I lesson every other day, MWF. Tuesday and Thursdays I groom him and we go for a walk on his lead. We see all the beautiful things around the farm together, then he gets a massage and some treats. On training days, he gets groomed and we do ground work, but he does enjoy his days off ❤❤
I plan on getting my first horse sometime next year. Is it safe for them to eat grass while I'm riding them? I don't want them to strain any muscles and I want to make sure it's 100% safe. I know a lot of people don't like it when their horses eat grass but I feel like they should be allowed to. The horses work very hard and they deserve grass and love as payments. I'm planning on adopting a horse that is at least 17hh and weighs at least 1300 pounds. I'm 5'5 and I only weigh 122 pounds, I'm 18 so I won't get any taller sadly. I want a taller horse that weighs a lot so I know that my weight won't cause a lot of health problems in the future. I plan on riding bitless, never using crops or whips, never hurting my horse an any way, never kicking them or using spurs. I want my horse to see me as family, not as a teacher. I want to do very basic dressage just for fun and for bonding with my horse so I plan on buying a dressage saddle and using it even when I go on trail rides. I've done some research and it says they are made for correcting your posture and they are more comfortable than other saddles. I have fibromyalgia and I'm anemic so I'm very weak and I'll probably need that.
My horse Savvy is a horse that gets really annoyed over the littlest things and after watching this video it really helped me to bond with my pony and I go there four times a week now because I love horses a lot I grew up with her she’s 11 now and she still has the same attitude but I am working on her
Thank you so much we are going to a trip and there it have alot of horses and the last time they didn't really liked me so now they are going to like me !
I let myself get to involved with being a good rider and doing what I want that I've strained the relationship between me and my horse. Especially in Winter since in Wisconsin it's so cold and being just outside with them isn't really possible. I feel horrible about it.
IM IN WI TOO & DON'T KNOW WHY I STAY....I HATE THE COLD MORE EVERY YEAR!! I STILL HAVE HORSES I WILL SEE EVERY WEEK & BRING TREATS & BRUSH OR MESSAGE ON THE WARMER DAYS ESPECIALLY...& TALK TO THEM ALWAYS. I BRING WATER & A BUCKET SO IT'S WARMER THAN WHAT THEY DRINK AND IT'S JUST A BONDING FUN TRUST THING. THE BUCKET WAS A CURIOSITY AT FIRST, NOW FUN FOR THEM TO GET A DRINK I'M HOLDING. ONE HAD 3 GALLONS 😂. BUT I FEEL SO BAD FOR THEM OUTSIDE.
Spirit, a horse at my horse therapy place, loves me to cuddle his head, he lays his head in my arms so I rub it, he likes that more as a treat after work then a snack. He enjoys it a lot.
I have a question. What is the difference between hay and haylage and what are the different benefits to both? Is sage grass poisonous to horses and will they eat it if they have enough grass and hay? Last question, is the saying giving a horse alfalfa hay will make them hot true?
So I'm not an expert on the difference between hay and haylage, but if I'm not mistaken haylage is fermented. Horses can eat small amounts of sage, but not large amounts. Generally they don't eat stuff like that if the have enough hay and grass. Alfalfa is quite good for horses. It's a good source of quality protein, is good for gut health (can help prevent ulcers as it coats the stomache lining), and is more nutrient dense. It's usually grains that are high in sugar and carbs that cause them to get hot (and are horrendous for their stomaches), not alfalfa. A lot of horses are fed alfalfa and grain, and the alfalfa gets blamed. It usually doesn't cause them to get hot as long as they have enough turnout time:)
@@shelbyadkins3594 fill a hay bag with alfalfa and grass hay, (or your main crude forage), give a tube of ulcer guard depending on the length (like a move to a new home or long trailer ride), and make the trailer and where you're going a positive place:)
Your videos are my favorite. You're always my go to! We just got a new horse and I'm definitely interested in your course. Is there somewhere I can message you?
I have had my pony for 6 years, he was 4 months old when i had hhim. Before i had him i lost the best mare in the world Jan 2016, lost a pony who destroyed my confidence in June 2017 and lost my first pony September 2017. I got my foal September 2017, mentally I was very unwell at the time. I have only ridden him around 20 times max. He has allergies and asthma I spent so much time researching, treating and preventing flare ups that we never connected. He now associates me with negative things 😢 his inhaler, previous experience vet inhalers, me being stressed trying to help him. I have lead him around the roads, played games with him, groomed him, long lined him, clipped him, plaitted him, bathed him, sat in the shelter with him. Theres just nothing there between us, hes a cheeky pony who gets up to mischief, I just don't feel any connection. When i try to ride him he rears, bucks, runs backwards, when a friend rode him he was calm, quiet and didn't do anything naughty at all, he didn't even get spooked by things 😊. I will never sell him as hes got illnesses, I would love to bond with him.
I know this vid was a little bit ago, but do you think it’s wrong of me to go out into her pasture and go up to her and just love on her? Or should I give her personal space since that’s her space to feel comfortable and it’s her place away from me?
Hi I love your videos you helped me by getting my pony to trust me but 5 days after Christmas she had to be put down because of Cushing disease and liver disease and colic so I’ll miss her lots😢😢😭😭😣😣😖😖
Question, what if i try to get her but she doesnt rlly want me close. Do i give her treats everytime she sees me or smt? Pls explain, i love her more than anything and i wanna try for us and her not to be sad.
You might be facing wrong way with apple, when you're facing horse. Horse is a herd animal an needs acceptance. Sit on ground, always turning to face away from him, with bucket of grain an apples, etc. shake grain in bucket an pretend to eat it. Make all kinds of Mmmmm sounds! When horse has enough, he turn into you, then give him loving and grain an share apple.
Spending time with horses to gain trust only make sense if you understand their thinking, behaving and needs so you can respond the way that they will see you as leader. Otherwise ...good luck
@@gerrycoleman7290 actually, Gerry, horses want direction and to be loved and understood. A lot of people taking the approach you speak of end up getting very hurt because they square up with a 600 kg animal. Horses want direction and love, look into natural horsemanship and liberty training. These people are much more connected with their horses than the like of older generation horse trainers who dominated horses into submission
@@angeldivine408 I am talking from the natural horsemanship point of view. Finesse, not fear. Mutual trust and respect. I said fair and trusted leader, not a harsh leader that controls a horse through pain, fear, and intimidation.
My horse was not very fond of me and only listened to my dad, but I did the things in this video and he no longer wanted my dad to ride him but me! Thank you so much!
