- Today Mowgley was super spooky! Check out this video to find out how Alicia was able to navigate her ride through this, basing all her fixes around the training scale. The training scale to gain back connection, not only fixes the spooking, but keeps it repeatable for the following rides!
She also shows us how to start the canter. How to get a horse who doesn't canter. This is a super exciting episode and shows you how we were able to have a great ride by the end of the session, without reacting to what the horse trows at you!

Really appreciate seeing a horse that isn't perfect and your approach to it, so many of us have horses that are progressing or struggling with one thing or another, this video is awesome thank you
Thank so much Chloe, this is what we try and do so it helps more people x
I totally agree! All I have is OTTBs that very green. THANK YOU 😊
@@chandorequestrian - Alicia is awesome, careful & so thoughtful with her horse & also in her explanations to riders. I have not witnessed many, if any riders, trainers or instructors explain a theory even close to the way Alicia does. 1 other person who prof. "breezed" racehorses & now buys OTTBs to re-train, is Shelby Dennis. She is young & not as personally polished as Alicia, but she very def. understands OTTB thoroughly. She has some very good points as well. Alicia, Shelby, Warwick Schiller and a few others are all horse-centric, modern trainers. Old School trainers (fear based, abusive speed trainers) are dinosaurs 🦕 & need to retire or be shunned. Good luck with your horse ♥️🐴♥️
Ñ
@M Dee this is super nice to see - thank you so much!! xx
I hope someday that I can experience a lesson from you. You seem like an amazing coach and your facilities are just gorgeous. Incredible approach to the young horses too.
Wow, thank you! xx
Wow, I was literally holding my breath watching that! Fantastic video, great ending after all your persistence and patience!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It amazes me how well and how much you can talk while you ride! Especially when riding a youngster like him that would take a lot to hold him together while riding. I appreciate your videos, you’re incredible! I love this series❤️
Hahaha thank you! Yes it takes quite a lot of concentration (and fitness) to talk and ride the horse at the same time xx
This looks exactly like my horse when I ask for canter and he almost always gets the wrong lead going to the right, requiring my horse to give me a good trot and not fall in or bulge out is super super helpful.
Can't wait to hear how you go after practicing this x
That was a Master Class lesson Alicia! So well explained. 👏👏👏 Thank you for another gem. 💎
YAY!! You're soo welcome! xx
Thank you for sharing your process with us! Loved the unedited ride, it was a great learning experience to see you work through the ride. I often give up way too soon so what a great reminder to be patient.
You're so welcome! xx
Bravoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing this!!!! MY boy knows how to canter but on the left side he doesnt pick it up immediately as per the right side. Now I know what to do!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope this technique works for you! Tell us about it! x
Alicia I'm going to ask a really stupid question lol
When your going around the arena and you know they might spook at something like the mounting block. You said do a leg yield ! Do you leg yield in the direction of the spooky thing or away ? Some say towards they need to see it, others say away 🙃. Oh and are you keeping your reins in the straight train tracks ?
Maybe the better question is if they want to bolt to the right do we disengage the right hide quarter or the left hide quarter 🤔
Super question!!!! Think about when the horse wants to spook, really what is happening is that their body is wanting to move out of the shape and line we want as a rider, so try to focus on where the horses shoulders are going, rather than the spook. Imagine you are riding down the wall on the right rein, if the horse all of a sudden moves to the right you have lost control of the horses right shoulder (or train track) so you need to push the right shoulder back to the left by using a leg yield to the left (so right flexion). If you try to look at each situation as "where is my horse" rather than the spook, you can always solve it! Does this help?
@@YourRidingSuccess fantastic 😊 yes that definitely helps me have an image in my head. When your on your horse and your trying to think where's the spooky thing which side am I moving OMG I'm having a brain fart lol your horse has already bolted and your still seated where it all started 🤭.
Your way, you can react quickly just keep thinking keep shoulders in the train track 👍
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to answer my question ❣️
A good thing to think about also is don't worry if it takes time to become quicker - this is normal! Just make the correction as soon as you realise you need to do something, even if you are a little slow, just the habit of stopping and doing something makes you a little quicker and over time you become quicker and quicker!!
Actually.......I think I found the playlist. Derrrrrrrrrrr! Silly me!
All good!!! xx
Love this & you …unedited very much‼️‼️ YOU ARE SUCH A TREASURE…..my dream is to partake with you someday at extended sessions …kind of a position (boot) camp …???? Would love every second …… Thank you for always breaking down the details into assimilation by us amateurs‼️💖✨💖
Love this!!! We would one day love to have you all able to come and visit but in the mean time our next big goal is to giveway our Million subscriber competition!!!!
You are so amazing!!!!! Thank you so much for showing HOW you train without editing anything out. Absolutely brilliant! Everybody shows off what they have achieved and nobody shows how they got there. And you have my utter and total admiration for being able to TALK through all this! Thank you again!
You're so welcome!
This video is EXACTLY what I needed today. My OTTBs trot has come so so far but his canter is still a huge work in progress. I was looking for some assistance on how to help him with his canter work and you immediately said EXACTLY what I needed to hear: when working on the canter don't let the warm-up tire them out. I think my guy just gets too exhausted and by the time it's canter time, it's just a epic disaster. Excited to work on this tonight!
Thank you so much! 🙌
This is so helpful !!! Thanku 🙏🙏🙏 Loving this OTTB series!
My pleasure 😊
Thank you once again for another informative video. I'm just in the beginning stages and started to pick up Cantering. This may a stupid question, pls excuse me for that.. you mentioned about a leg yield to find the suppleness from 13 or 14 minutes into the video, can you please explain what is that led yield that you were referring to?
Yes of course! Try watching this video ua-cam.com/video/USmoDW8Vlwg/v-deo.html
Exactly what I needed to see & hear explained for training my new 3 y /o OTTB only retired a year...thank you so much...you are so appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
My horse has the same issue but with his left lead. And same issue as this horse: he lacks confidence and he's learned to get out of work by resisting and running away. We've been working hard and our w/t work is great, but our canter remains elusive. This was a great video and I can't wait to try it tonight when I ride.
Yay!! Tell us how you go! x
These videos are sooooo helpful. Mowgley
is a great little horse.
Glad you like them! xx
great video and great to see the training scale in action to fix a problem without "working on the problem" thx!!!
Glad you liked it!
Your patience with Mowgley is amazing. Its great that You are showing how to work with young horse step by step and where can bring us basics+patience❤️
Thank you! x
My OTTB is still sticky on his right canter lead. this is so helpful! definitely will try this! thank you!
Good luck!
Thank you for videoing this work with him, I’ve seen ur later work with him and how much he improved, but seeing this early work is helpful too, even tho my horses are not green, I see how to train in the very early stages, thanks so much!
Thanks so much for following this journey with us!
The horse I use in Spain is very similar. He is not keen on the schooling ring. He gets very uptight. I will do what you have done in the video. Thanks so much for this video.
Wonderful!
Amazing video :) Can’t wait to practise this!! X
Woohoo! How exciting!! Tell us how you go trying this out x
Amazing video - this is soooo helpful 🙌🏼❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Love this! Just bought a horse that is not yet saddle broke so this is a gold nugget for me! Thank you!,,
This is great!! Can't wait for you to try this technique on your new horse xx
Thank you! Great video. So informative!
Glad it was helpful! xx
Great watching you bring him in and ask to go back out
What do you mean
Massage the lunge rope
Is that give and take 🐯
Hey Liz, do you mean moving the bit in the horses mouth? x
Honestly how well and clearly you explain what you are doing and why is better then all the trainers I have been with and videos I’ve watched! You are truly a talented teacher and I love this video very useful for the stud I’m working with so excited to implement what I’ve learned here 😊
Wow!! Thank you so much for such lovely feedback!! We're excited to hear how it goes for you once you try out this technique x
Tash has created such an amazing teaching program - and Alicia Adds to it so much! Thank you, both! For the immense time, sharing your experience, and your Bottomless Positivity!
Love it! Thank you!
I am so psyched to try this out!!! Your videos are absolutely invaluably AWESOME!!! All killer NO filler!! Thank you!
what are you saying good job for? what is he doing you are praising him for?
Hi Kate, Alicia says "good job" when the horse does something she has been asking for ie takes the contact, goes forward in the trot or stays supple, it is to help the horse to understand when it is doing the right thing in the training ✨
Wow, amazing session, I absolutely love it!
Thanks so much!
I Learned so much today! Thank You for a great video!
So glad you enjoyed the video so much!
Hi whenever the horse comes above the bit do you open your reins and add inside leg to push horse over to get the horse more connected or do you flex the inside rein at all? :)
Hi there, when the horse comes above the bit you want to use suppleness to connect the horse again, so use leg yield on the circle. Try watching these videos to help you see what to do - this one for leg yield ua-cam.com/video/USmoDW8Vlwg/v-deo.html and this one to see leg yield on a circle with a young horse ua-cam.com/video/mBIi_O6GVys/v-deo.html ✨
This was awesome! Sometimes you have to go through the ugly stuff to get to the good stuff!
💯!!!
Oh I'm on here first today.... Yay!! Thank you for another brilliant video. Mowgli is really coming along beautifully. So excited for the new OTTB but I will always love Mr. Mowgley
Love this xx
Thank you for the awesome video. I can totally relate!! Lost breath and all. But what fun!!!:)
😬😬😬 Thank you x
when he cantered on the correct lead on the circle I was blown away! Crazy how much you can do in 25 minutes :)
Amazing isn't it? xx
That was fabulous. You made things so easy to understand
Love it! x
Incredible, my baby OTTB and I are a living example of your methods! Thank you so much for all your help!
Happy to help! xx
Amazing video to get to see whole process of how using the basics in the trainingscale to help balance the horse. Patience is the key 😍
Yes!!! You sound like you have a great understanding - go you!
Can't wait to try this ! Boy I'm not nearly as fit as you any more ! I've not been patient enough with my 23 you Arab I used to trail ride .. even endurance ride. We never had much proper riding training so we're both learning at a late age in life to do it .
It's great that you're interested in trying out riding again! Riding can be a wonderful way to stay fit and active, and it's never too late to start learning. You've got this! x
Never gave up riding just not “properly trained”riding
This is GOLD Thank you thank you thank you
So glad you enjoyed the video!
Really loved this!! Can't wait to try it with my OTTB!! THANK YOU!! xxxx
You're so welcome!
Just love yur work 😘 ultra informative and fun. Big thank you
Thank you!! xx
Yyyaaaaayyyyyy Mowgley and wooooohooooooo Lady :0)
Thank you 🤩
Thank you for sharing the reality!
Our pleasure!
I really enjoyed this video and how Alicia works through anything Mowgley throws her way. I'm working with a 10 year old OTTB and he consistently raises his head at walk to trot transitions, then he will lower his head in the trot and settle in until I ask for canter transition, then same thing. He is always head high and collected at the canter. Alicia mentioned Mowgley raises his head to get his balance. I have been concerned about this issue but wonder ...will my horse eventually find his balance and stop the head raising? I don't want to use a martingale, surcingle or side reins to correct him. Many thanks for all the invaluable guidance.
Hi Darcy, this is very common and try to think about "rhythm + suppleness = connection!! So when you lose the connection you have lost suppleness. Try to change the place you make your transitions so you can include some suppleness, this could mean turning a circle and using some leg yield then making the transition as you go back to the wall and up the long side. Every time your horse has his head up try to think of it as needing to make enough suppleness that the horse can connect. Let me know how you go!
@@YourRidingSuccess I'm encouraged to read that this is common. Thank you! I have a lesson tonight and we will practice your recommendation going forward.
Can't wait to hear how it goes for you! Good luck xx
Can't wait to see Mr. Mowgley at his first show even though I know that's still a long way away
We can't wait either!! Such a fun journey x
Another great video. good to see all the problems
Yes!!
I really appreciate the rawness of the video. This can apply to any horse and following the goals and the scale and not being a reaction when he spooked by leg yields is a fantastic strategy. Thank you for the honest training. The understanding of Little by little approach. So many people in the horse world saying stop being a whimp just get stuck into them to get it. It is super amazing that you Tash and Megan all have the same approach.
Thank you.
Nic 😊❤️
You're welcome!! Glad you enjoyed it!! xx
You're an excellent rider, you make it look so achievable. I see alot of these struggles in my horse.
I hear you talk about submission, acceptance, & it's evident it is difficult at this stage. I can see your obvious love, but as a serious question, do you ever struggle with the notion of it being too much for them??
Do you believe they have to submit in order to progress like this?
I'm such a softey!!
I know you said this 22 mins in not hard work, & of course it depends on your goals!
But how do you know when you're asking too much??
Is 20 mins a reasonable work out for any horse in new training, at this level??
NB very encouraging to see your methods at this stage, with all the rawness & complexity!! Thankyou for sharing. You've done amazingly with Mowgs! ❤👏👏👏👏
PS
In training, what sort of bit is he in?? 😘😘🐴
Hi Benita!! Great questions! We are checking with Alicia and Megan on your questions so watch this space!
@@YourRidingSuccess thankyou for your response, I will definitely be looking out for the questions answered! I know you must be ploughing through hundreds of them, & so appreciate your time & help!! Keen to hear back, thankyou so much ❤🐴🙏
Hi Benita! Submission is a part of dressage and at the end of the day we are riding and training the horse. But submission doesn't have to be a negative thought, it can be more about the cooperation of the horse. So if you think about it like that its more about the cooperation of the horse not that the horse is an unwilling participate that does what it's told.
Horses have different personalities which means that they have different levels of cooperation. Its our job as riders to help the horse enjoy the work and make the work good for the horse.
Knowing when it is too much for the horse does take practice in your training but often the horse will let you becasue they will get tired and they will show you that it is difficult, especially if training something new. So if you pay good attention during training you can tune in on the signs that they are finding the work difficult and might need a walk break.
@@YourRidingSuccess I didn't thankyou at the time, so thankyou now, for the personalised response & all the tips. I find that is a challenge, to keep the work stimulating & enjoyable for the horse! Especially when it is a struggle for her to stick with the training!!
Loved this video! Thankyou ❤
I've never been this early! Great video 😊
Yay! Good job and thank you x
Can someone let me know if I'm understanding this lesson correctly? I think what's happening is that he's not picking up the correct lead because he's not bending and soft to the inside? Instead he's sort of stiff and falling in instead? So then we use the leg yield to get him to be supple enough to bend and pick up the correct lead?
I've been riding for years but my instructor never taught things like this, so sometimes I feel like I don't understand any of the theory behind riding haha
HI there! Yes you are right! Mowgley is less supple to the right and he wants to fall heavier onto his right shoulder so Alicia is using some circles with leg yield to help make him more supple so then he can connect into the bridle (and get the correct canter leads). 💕
@@YourRidingSuccess Thanks! I'm happy to feel like I'm starting to understand some of the real finer points of riding and training. A lot of the places I've learned to ride were the "if you can stay on, you're riding" kind of place, and I want to understand so much more than how to not fall off!
I love the message at the beginning. I really appreciate your transparency and clear explanations of his misbehaviors and how you helped him through them. I also really appreciate that you don't punish or scold him for his anxiety. Instead, you help him figure out a way to get through it. Love it!
Thank you so much!
Really excellent comments, I couldn’t have said it better!
Thank you! This was great!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for the warts and all video, these are really helping me with training my novice horse as a beginner rider ❤️ I wondered how much rest days/time you give and how you structure it in the week?
Hi Nicole, Alicia gave a great answer to this in a Q and A, I will link it here for you (look at about 15:53 mins in) ua-cam.com/video/qd7D4TMrBiQ/v-deo.html ✨
Thank you for a great lesson!!
You're welcome, Jess!! xx
Oh my goodness go you and your fitness hun 💪🏼 very well done you two! Mogley is going to be a machine 💙 x
Thank you!!! Yes it does pay to be fit when riding, especially these younger less experienced horses as they take some patience xx
this was a fantastic video, probably my favorite video in the series. my horse has struggled with a good canter, picking up the right lead, rushing, hollowing, ever since I restarted him 3 years ago. being able to watch you work through this problem on the horse as he struggled was so much more helpful than all the videos out there of someone riding a horse with no issues while simply explaining how to fix the problem. thank you so much for sharing this process with us! im 100% a visual learner, and seeing mowgli having the same avoidance behavior as my gelding Chauncey has finally gotten the lightbulb to click regarding my reaction and how to keep his mind engaged followed by his body. love love love you guys! ❤🦄😃
LOVE that this has been soo helpful for you! Please tune in for more great content! xx
Love your techniques 💜
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you so much! Do you have any tips on how to encourage horses to canter on a certain lead, as in stop them from switching leads themselves? Because whenever I try to ask a horse to canter on the lead they don't like, they usually sass me and switch the lead anyway 😂
Hi there, if you watch how Alicia solves the issues Mowgley has raking the right canter lead the same rules apply for a horse that is switching the lead, the horse is switching the lead because it finds it easier to balance that way.
@@YourRidingSuccess thank you so much!
I wish all horses had such a patient, kind, awarding every try trainer like you. 💜🦄
Thank you so much Liz 💕
Fantastic video!
Thank you very much!
Wow! Awesome video, also crucial point in training. Furthermore, I love how this series also helps beginner riders: eventually horses and riders need the same training XD
Yes!! Thank you and this is what makes it all so worthwhile x
💕💕💕ty!
💕
Amazing! I hope he gets a nice apple after all that hard work 😓 ♥️
Absolutely!!! 💕
Absolutely loved this video thank you, my mission for the weekend 😁
You are so welcome! xx
Ah man this reminds me so much of this persons horse. I only rode him a handful of times but he was the most unsupple log of a horse I'd ever ridden.
Only he wouldn't so much be against you, as he'd back through the contact and run backwards to avoid it. I know his owner was petrified of this so never corrected it. I found out since I wouldn't let him run back that it resulted in a very dramatic temper tantrum.
I've ridden quite a few horses that could benefit from schooling like this, but it was always hard since I'd have to ride with 8 or 9 other people which is obviously distracting.
On a completely different note, I need to send this to people that say riding isn't a sport. You sound EXHAUSTED halfway through, it's definitely a tough job and a lot more work than a lot of people realise.
I LOL'ed at "unsupple log of a horse" hahahaha
Thank you! Yes you are right - it is a sport!!!! 💪
I know this is an older video, that I am seeing now, thank you. Watching you riding like this makes me realise all the times I've stopped mid training session, thinking I am just not winning here, I have always tried to be perfect and have not allowed myself to just let it happen, and to realise the horse is also getting frustrated trying to understand what I expect of him. You Rock !! Loving your videos.
My pleasure! Thanks for sharing Charmaine!
Great video. Once again I learned so much. This is exactly where my horse and I are at in our training currently so it was very helpful for us. My biggest mind blowing moment was to learn that when my horse raises his head when I ask for canter it is NOT because he is being naughty and evading my aids but because he is confused and trying to find his balance. I have misinterpreted that behavior. I also learned that we should practice one lead per day. I usually go both directions and I always pick his good side first which I think is not leaving him enough energy for what he finds most difficult. Going to start with this new canter transition method today! Thank you for the amazing information as usual 😊
Edited to add: rode today after watching this video and is implemented these techniques and we got the left lead after the third try BUT between each ask he was more relaxed, balanced, straight and supple and not leaning, his head went up a few times but it came right back down after a few moments. Asking him to increase the trot and then bringing it back down several times really helped because normally he tries to do that anyway and it’s almost like since I made it my idea he didn’t want to do it anymore and just picked up the canter from a nice trot instead 😂 I don’t know if that is actually what is going on but I could tell he was like “mom, I dont actually want to trot that fast, I’ll just canter nicely now please” lol
Amanda, this is so amazing!!!! Alicia is going to talk about this live! It is so so wonderful. You are 100% on the right track! and YES if you take the lead, the horses to start to calm down
Incredible capacity of submitting your horse, from trot to canter. Your patience, only less than half hour, absolutely dedicated, to the canter, even if it didn't go, the right leg, was great.
Each teacher, in my country, has different methods, for the canter. Certainly, it also, depends on the horse.
The technics, to develop the canter, are not always the same.
You have proven, then even the horse was going, " against his own interests", you lead him, to " your own goals", that means: lead the way, to the canter!
Great class! Hope my teachers and future teachers, watch them, too.
Hope going back to riding, soon, I had a huge sprain, around 9 months ago, not riding ( that's the worst), just running and walking. A mistaken treatment, because of the danger of the pandemic. Lots of ice, lots of rest, compression and elevation ( RISE method) and a huge internal bruise. Hopefully, keeping necessary rest, for recovery. Hope to return riding, before, the year ends.I had lost federal year participation, but health is first, for any sport.
Great class! Hope you teach us, flying changes, on a next class. Thank you, Alicia.You are a master and have a great energy and charisma. See you!
Wow thank you so much for the amazing feedback! Hope you are feeling better and recovered very soon. You are in luck we already have a video of Flying Changes ua-cam.com/video/E38wK3Fm8Xc/v-deo.html
Hi, this may be a silly question but if they've been racing at a gallop why are they unbalanced in canter? Loved this video, and all your videos. My girl is just the same age/stage as Mowgily so they're super helpful 💖👍😊
Great question Cheryl! The reason is because when they are racing they are going in big open spaces, not in smaller arenas like an arena, they are also really pulling along on the shoulder when they gallop, not balanced and upright like dressage and also they can have their head in any position when racing, where as in dressage we are asking the horse to be in a specific position always. Hope this helps x
So happy to see a REAL scenario with an OTTB.. My horse protests when it's difficult, JUST like this. Seeing you work him through it is exactly that the doctor ordered.
Thank you so much! 🙌
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I am taking away so much good information. I have a 13 year old Freisian/American Saddlebred cross mare that I got as a 3 year old when I was 64 and we have worked hard and just this year gotten our Bronze medal here in the United States. Our next goal is 4th level and after doing 3rd level I do not feel that we are consistently through or supple enough to move on so I have backed up to the basics. Your videos are helping me see that I am right in doing that and helping me to work on making it all better. Thank you.
Hi Kay! Thank you for sharing! You're welcome!
Super!!
Thank you :)
Well done riding the M! Just a few thoughts on horse sweat stress. In OTT or general rehab we spend time on body release a lot. Massage and Emmett or Tellington Touch therapy has proven excellent in settling the body and corresponding stress patterns. Please try this twice weekly. The rewiring of a OTT to riding horse takes a good 12-24 months. I like your flow but would create a walk session in hand, opening ribs in shoulder fore, then under saddle with 5min movement walk or trot in shapes, over poles and give him time out for 1-2"min. A great dressage trainer in Melbourne in the 1980s showed me the 10min lesson for new learning. Repeat a movement 3 xs then release and reward after each try and after the 3 x return the horse to the paddock. After daily or every second day of these brief sessions you may find after a week the horses' learning is clear relaxed and open to new learning. If you try this with the body work M may learn with easier mind body balance.
Understand the M may need to flow but a loose lunge pre ride moving from a faster trot to a slower trot also increases balance and top line strength.
Stay well.🌹 Alicia you a wonderful rider x
Thank you so much for sharing!
I was holding my breath too!
Really like Alicias way of training horses and make videos for us. Looking forward to see how M develop his dressage with Alicia. Are you planing a dressage test for young horses in the future with him? Abso would be awsome to see Alicia make a vlogg about Competing with her horses.
Watch this space!! We will show you all of Mowgley's journey inc any shows 🤩
Thanks once again on the brilliant video!!
You're welcome! xx
I know physically I could not do what you are doing. Thank God my OTTB picks up the correct lead at canter 95% of the time.
Super!! Keep trying! You can do it xx
Thank you so much. It really helps to watch things like this on a greener horse. Gives me hope and makes things feel more achievable!
You're so welcome! Thank you for your kind words! 😍
This was a really great video and appreciated your insight!! I enjoyed hearing you work through it and very good information. Thank you!!
Love it, Krista! So glad you enjoyed the video! x
Excellent display of horse(wo)manship, great work Alicia!
Thank you! Cheers!
Yay!! You can see him trying so hard. I have a question. You say that you need to give the aid when the outside hind is coming forward but as you can’t see the outside hind, can you describe when to give the aid in reference to where the forelegs are? Thanks xx
Hi Anita! Super question! An easier way to think about it is in relation to your sitting and rising phases of the rising trot. So when the outside hind is on the ground is when you are in the "sitting" phase of your trot. 💕
Love love LOVE this video! I’ve been hanging out for it.
Super helpful. Thank you!! 🤩
LOVE it!! xx
You always inspire me to school more ... the stubble fields are getting in the way right now .. far too tempting, lol! I guess i 'could' school in the stubble field before having a blast :)
Can't wait to hear how it goes for you! xx
I am going thru this process right now…So Grateful forthis video! Thank you!
You're welcome! Excited to hear how it goes for you!! xx
Another fab video. Key learning for me - stick to the plan and dont keep an unbalanced canter going - reward, stop and try again. Thank you, cant wait to give this a go with my girls 😊
Soo exciting!! Tell us how you go!
I love watching these videos, I hope to get my own horse and train it and these videos have taught me so much stuff I need to know. Love it!
Glad the videos have helped you so much!! xx
awwwww he is a fantastic Horse 👍🙂🙂🙂
Thank you x
Wow, loved that video. SO many good tips and trick for my training with OTTB as he is also struggling with his left canter lead. Just wished we had some facilities like yours ... looks bloody amazing.
Btw, what are you feeding Mowgly? He looks amazing.
Thank you 🙏🏻 if you have a look at this video Alicia steps you through what she feeds Mowgley ua-cam.com/video/-IIFoNWFO-s/v-deo.html
I wanna say THANK YOU for making this video because it worked so well for me. I been struggling with my jumper changing his lead on the left and today I went down to the basic and got him to supple up and asking the canter from than the usual walk to canter. Today he didn't even change once!!!
Perfect!!! Love that it worked so well for you!! Super job!! xx
This is great! Someone had me ride their warmblood mare who had been ridden mainly as a trail horse and she didn't have a right lead, was super asymmetrical, etc. Getting a right lead was just like this. And it was SO rewarding when we got to the point where I could ask for a right lead and get it. Amazing!
Oh wow! Soo amazing!! xx
I was knackered just watching this!!
😬😬😬😬 Thank you x
I love this, so helpful! You’re so sweet and gentle with him, such a positive experience for rider and horse. I can’t wait to try this with my horse!
Thank you! Tell us how you go x
thank you for showing the good, the bad and the ugly! you have helped me tremendously with my 6 yo ottb, we have improved immensely since watching your training. :)
Thank you for sharing!! It's great to hear about your improvement and we can't wait to hear more about your progress!! xx
So fantastic following this progression! I’m attempting to retrain a 15 year old mare, so use a number of the ideas you show us. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!! Can't wait to hear how it goes for you!! xx
So interesting to see work in progress 😯I think a lot of people can see them and their horses on this video and methods how to fix problems are very helpful even though my horse is far too from the young one))
I want to say that I watch your videos not only for getting information but just for good mood, they are so inspiring , thank you very much for your effort
Thank you so much! So glad you are enjoying them xx
