Was thinking, it might be useful for some to see how YOU do all the basics, the “boring” mundane things with horses. Especially, catching, haltering and the super simple stuff. I think so many people overlook the foundational/fundamental parts which is really what I love so much about this channel. You talk about the details that a lot of people don’t even mention. Also, it would be cool to hear your story about how are you became interested in horses and begin working with them. I know you’ve mentioned that you’ve been doing this for 11 years. So many little gems of knowledge in your videos! PS, maybe you could show us some more of your dance moves 🕺😆
This is a really helpful video. I have watched others try to explain these maneuvers and I just didn't follow how to get it done. And the shifting of the rider's weight explanations are excellent.
Really good! You are so confident on that beautiful horse and she can tell. Put a nervous person like me on her and she's off!! Good advice and explained so well, thank you!!!
Another great I steuctional video. And another issue I have with my 6 year old. The bending circle/5 yield exercises are helping so much!! Now to apply them to saddle time! Thanks!
I am having this exact problem with my young mare. I do not have an arena or round pen. I DO have 40 acres to ride in, but nothing that I can ride in to container her or keep her from running flat out. I cannot get her to walk on a loose rein. I’ve circled her a bit, but now her nose is sore (riding in a side pull halter. She’ll carry a bit, but won’t tolerate me using it) and she’s begun throwing her head when I take hold in an attempt to regulate the speed.
You make this look so easy. I have 2 OTTB's. My mare is like this, my gelding, who was more successful on the track, was more aggressive and lazy. I need this with my mare. Are you changing your leg position when you go from a hindquarter yield to a forequarter yield to the drift? Or are you just turning your toe out and shifting weight?
Great video! I just discovered you so I’m catching up on your videos. Random question but what brand Wade saddle were you using in this video and do you like that style? I’m looking at new saddles and I keep leaning towards a Wade.
Hi Stephanie, I do love Wade saddles, the one I'm riding in isn't a wade though. There is a great saddle maker called Rob Gerbitz who makes Wade saddles, located in Walnut, Illinois. I have some clients who ride in his saddles and swear by them. They take about 12-18 months to get the saddle built and to you.
I have a 4 year old that is slow, not fast. I am assuming that working in being more forward, with our forward yield, is the most important thing, then work in the other 2 yields addressed here? I think I need to get him out in some bigger country to help him be more forward?
Hi Terri, sorry I totally missed this question. Yes absolutely settle him into some forward and as you work in the other yields, focus on forward through the yield and the departure out of the yield. The departure is where the lightness and impulsion will come from.
That's a great start! Now that things are finally warming up here in the midwest I'll be able to get out on the trails soon and do some videos. This is one of the most common issues that I come across when I teach my trail riding clinics.
Morning Steve,
I sure appreciate your no BS straight forward insruction. Always looking forward to your videos.
I appreciate that

I’ll get it. You’re right the every day stuff is where it’s at.
Yeah I don’t think anyone wants to see these moves 😂
@@_thenaturalhorseman

Don’t quit your day job🤣
Totally kidding…..I see you…..you got moves 😎
@@KingsMom831 yeah I certainly won’t be quitting my day job 😂

That can make a big difference, it helps the horse to balance.
I like the way you work your horse Nannette
Thanks Naunette
@@_thenaturalhorseman You are welcome Nannette

Thank you so much!
Great video! Taking mental notes for my forward horse. 😊
Great! There are 2 more parts to this session yet to come. I hope it’s helpful.
@@_thenaturalhorseman looking forward to them! 👏🏼
Looking awesome Lady! She’s a gem thanks to her amazing trainer Steve Andrews! Nice video. 👏❤️
Nice job 👍
Thanks Ryan!
Amazing change in this horse within a couple of minutes.

Very nice riding.

This is great thanks for sharing 👍
It’s my pleasure, I hope it helps
Thank you

Thank you Jess.
So cool 😎

My horse is like a bloody race horse lol. Annoying cause she loves going out of jumps
I have managed to get my horse to slow down in the arena, on the trail it is another story. 😞
That's a great start! Now that things are finally warming up here in the midwest I'll be able to get out on the trails soon and do some videos. This is one of the most common issues that I come across when I teach my trail riding clinics.
Win I ride my she doesn't spook at I ride my horse and I broke my horse win she was a 2year old Nannette
Nice work
