- Reason I called myself a monkey brain in this video is because I progressed with my plan quicker than I thought and completely contradicted what I had just said.
See if you can catch it and let me know.

You are an amazing horseman. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in language that I understand and connect with. I look forward to your videos and have learnt so much already!
It means the world to me. Thank you for your kind words.
Fine example with the different drivers in a high performance auto. Also, really appreciated you not pushing him once you determined that there was a problem. Excellent session!!
Arabians are very smart and I trained a yearling that I bought all by myself without never ever training a horse before. I watched videos and read as much as I could before I started training..... My Arab was so loyal to me and tried her heart out for whatever new thing I was training her to do. Love this video!!!
That means that you did a great job with her!!!!!! Well done!!!👍
Thank you for this excellent, detailed lesson. There are lots of good horse trainers on youtube but you have an extrarodinary ability to explain what you're doing in a way that seems attainable to me.
I bought my first horse this year and made every rookie mistake in the purchase so we are now in the situation of a green horse and a green rider. She was 5 when we bought her and supposed to be finished but it was quckly evident that she had not been handled much and was not fully cooperative in most fundamentals, i.e., standing in the cross ties, handling her feet, saddling or mounting. Dong ground work, she can be pushy and scary, to me. When she's under saddle, though, she is far more willing though I wouldn't say enthusiastic. We put her with a trainer for a few months and she is more manageable, but I never feel like she really enjoys any of it. She always feels reluctant and perhaps resentful? I've taken all the "show her who is boss" advice and, honestly, I don't like it. It doesn't feel right, smacking her and yanking on her, and it really got me to a place where I just didn't even want to handle her because I didn't enjoy it and I'm certain she didn't enjoy it. I've watched hundreds of videos - literally - but it's overwhelming, and they often seem contradictory to me.
The way you ride and how you explain the interaction really appeals to me and I'm going to practice what you did in this video with my girl today. I hope that I can figure out how to understand her more and communicate with her better. Ultimately, I really want a partner, not a slave, and I want us both to enjoy what we do.
This is great stuff Nanine. Pls update us on your progress. What worked… what didn’t go so well…. Would be interested to hear.
@@elitehorsemanship8765 I was really happy with how well she did practicing the whoa as you demonstrated in this video. We have been practicing riding with no reins and she's pretty good - still not seamless - in steering off my legs at a walk and okay at a trot but her whoa always requires a bit of reins to bend her a few steps before she comes to a complete stop. I've been trying to improve it for a while but ... rookie! :) I use my hands too much and it's taken me a lot of practice to quiet them - still working on it - but after three or four evolutins of the steps you described, she was stopping within a couple of steps of the cue. I think what I found most helpful from you video was your demonstration of what it means to "quit riding." You know, I tend to be really literal so that has always immediatly meant to me - get off! LOL. Of course, I knew it meant something to do with my butt, but seeing you do it, somehow, it finally clicked. And that really seemed to help us yesterday.
I haven't yet watched the 2nd video: "Horses are puzzles," but it's on my short to-do list today/this weekend because she really is a puzzle to me. And I feel that I've been inconsistent in my approach to her because I don't really understand her responses (and don't much know what I'm doing). I've tried the yank on her or spank her (not hard) with the flag or the whip to get her to yield or comply and that just seems to make her more resentful - and I don't feel good doing it. She can be really pushy on the ground, though, and I sometimes have to get really firm with her to keep her out of my space. She's aimed several cow kicks at me in the round pen while asking her to yield her hind end. I'm never really sure how to respond to that and don't really understand why she does it in the first place so perhaps I could prevent it altogether.
I've tried treats (and still use them for picking up her feet for the sake of our farrier) but bribing her only seems to get me so far. And I don't like the mugging. I've tried being slower with her and that has seemed to improve her attitude with me but it only gets me so far so, right now, I feel kind of stuck. Like we're not really making progress - just hashing and rehasing the same ground.
I constantly hear trainers talk about getting your horse to respect you or to convince them they are your leader, and that sounds important and great but I'll be a duck's petard if I know how to do it. And she's a great horse overall. Very sweet most of the time and fun to ride once she understands what she's supposed to do. She does not seem to enjoy learning new things, though, and I can only conclude that that is mostly my fault.
Thanks for your videos - they are really helping me in this amazing, terrifying, exhilerating journey!
Lol..Mogheer seemed to agree with you when you said you are going to make mistakes.
I take him.cute boy
He looks stiff in the back
Wondering if that he is not spooky at all. He does not have that all out run and panic demeanor. I wonder if he is one of those horses that wants clear communication and if the owner is not giving clear communication or communicating doubt or fear.
I agree. He is a thinker. If he feels that the rider is not fully confident and is not clear with the comms, then he takes matters into his own hands and starts making decisions that he thinks are the best option.
You probably know this but often they can be sore in the poll which can create lameness at most parts of the horses body.. but hes bending nicely for you! Very interesting (and quite hilarious) if he was umm.. just kidding 😂
Actually I did not know that!
@elitehorsemanship8765 there's a really interesting man who works on horses with the 'masterton method'. It's one of the kindest most gentle methods I've ever seen and he gets incredible results with horses who display soreness in the back and hind quarters by simply working on the poll. He's like you in terms of listening to the horse and waiting for a response. Simply amazing!
If he is a "lesson horse" and the student is not at the level of leg and setting the butt level (or even proper reigning) will grooms think it is the horse and not the rider (skill level) assigned to him?
To be honest I don’t think, generally speaking, that a rider can make a horse go lame, unless the rider is very heavy for the size of the horse, then that’s a different story… but in a lesson with flatworm…. I find it hard to believe that head just suddenly went lame. (Btw, he’s fine 🤦♂️). The reason I mentioned the level of rider in the lesson was to suggest that Mogheer may be the type of horse that has learned to ‘pretend’ that he is lame if he feels he can get away with it 😊😊😊 I’ve seen horses that lie down when you go to get on before 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Saddle pinching can make stumble, kissing spine can give pain , sore foot .... , cervical not mouving well, eyes not seing well Health issue are important too eliminate 😊
That’s interesting information! Thanks for the advice. I did do my best to check if there was any indication of pain before I rode and did not find any.
