@@zacharias.horsemanship Okay great thank you !!!.. I love watching your videos - I find your method of training the best and highly rated out of all the videos posted online - i get more value when I watch yours and apply your teachings to my horse. I brought up another comment in your part one video - what bit are you using?. Is there anyway you can share that question for us ?
@@brendanmilner6611 I appreciate that! Yes, absolutely. It's the FG short shank correction bit. www.sstack.com/metalab-fg-short-shank-correction-bit/p/25634/?glCountry=us&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA1eO7BhATEiwAm0Ee-IUuKcuObRGg4LxlsgkKkWNa7iDwUz0xiLpdrkwsJdlpJV8BlBmrfBoCWRsQAvD_BwE One of my favorites.
Fix the forward motion, then go back to collection. Every time you squeeze, and they slow down, firmly ask them to surge forward, whether it's with bumping/kicking or spanking them with the rein. Be sure you get a very clear response from the horse every time. Once you've established that slowing down isn't an option, you can go back to working on lifting the back. On the flip side, (and this is very important), you *must* do this in moderation so that your horse doesn't become scared of the leg and end up with the opposite problem of running through the bit when you squeeze. It's vital that you don't treat this as a punishment and create anxiety within your horse. You're simply balancing out the energy so your horse can perform the task at hand. Hope that helps! 👍
I have a Quarter horse that is very stiff when asking for a trot to lope he used to have beautiful walk to lope transitions and now it’s almost as if he’s sucked back in the transition once he’s moving I am able to miniver his body how I would like but he’s not physically ill or lame ? Have any tips?
How long can the horse be collected while riding him? Is the goal to have horse all the way collected while riding him? Or what a reason to have horse collected and when do we need to use it? Thanks!!
I just got a 5yr old and put the first ride on her, she is naturally hot and spooky, she was doing amazing until she took her first step forward and I think she then realized the weight. She decided to take off and broke out of my emergency stop. Is it common for horses to spook at the sudden weight and feel of someone on their back for the first time? I really thought she was ready and prepared as she checked all the boxes and was very calm until she took a few steps forward. I couldn’t seem to prevent it from happening. Is there anything I can do for her second ride that might help with this?
Best video I’ve ever seen with info on these couple of scenarios.
Rein contact whilst squeezing your legs is Bauchers second manner- he wrote it all down for us in the 1870's.

Thank you for sharing your training techniques!
Thank you for watching! 🤠
HI.. I can't find part 3 of this video - has one been posted ?
Hey! We haven't filmed it quite yet. This horse had a break over fall/winter, and we will film it when he comes back in for more training soon!

How do handle a horse that sulls up when you add leg pressure to lift the back?

For my level its sometimes difficult to see when the horse give his back. Thanks for the great video.
It's so hard to spot for the lesser-trained eye, especially at the lope! I hope the snapshots helped. 👍

Great reminder: don't pull harder!
