Hey everyone! 

I have a 2 yr old AQHA Colt I’m bringing along, I’ve saddled him about 6 times now. Every single time he bucks his ass off🫠 I end the session with him working under saddle well. But there seems to be something I’m missing that’s bugging him. Wondering what I could do to help him through this. 

I’ve flanked him, roped his feet, worked him with the cinch rig extensively, sacked him out, can throw a tarp on him, can put my own weight on his back, he’s very very quiet but the saddle seems to be scary to him every time. 

Couple things to mention, he seems to be more sensitive on his right side though I have mainly worked through that, can be a tad lazy, I have concerns about him getting “dull”.

If anyone has any insight let’s hear it! Would love to hear from you Richard, I know we chatted on live about this colt a month or so ago.

And we're back.  Sorry for disappearing on you guys!  Things have been a little crazy the last 7 days, but we're back on schedule now.  Did anyone get into anything fun this past weekend?

Constructive feedback here. B1 has immensely helped my training on my horses. 

However, when my horse has a specific issue, the search function is rarely useful. I usually give up and find the equivalent free video B1 has posted on youtube and even then I cant search the main site to find the extended version of the same video I found on youtube (even when I now i know the title of the video!) 

Very frustrating, and limits the utility of the service for me. 

Hey Richard what section are you sitting in at the rodeo tomorrow tomorrow? 

Have a great 7 year old gelding part Hancock QH.  Smart, curious, all the things you'd want except one.  He already has arthritis in right hock. Nothing in a PPE and no real issue for nearly a year but now it's a clear issue.  He can walk all day up and down small hills but with a rider anything more is painful...he'll do it if I push after extended warm up but it doesn't go far.  

I'm asking for some recommendations.  

1. He is protective of that side(his right) so I've been doing more from that side to help him get more comfortable with it. On his left he is great with sidepass...but his right is just sticky.  Any recommendations with that?

2. Since he has arthritis, I've focused on making him the best at what he can do and that's led to obstacles. I don't have access to much land and we're usually riding alone. Would love recommendations beyond the standard obstacles and any other activities to engage his feet and mind.  

Thanks very much. 

Hi there from Germany where THINGS are really very different concerning horselife..so maybe this question seems weird to you since your horses might be used to travel and change barns and buddies regularly...Ok. After a longer time and a bad last experience (going to hospital) my 2 horses didn't want to go on trailer anymore..now i unexpectedly have to change the stable next week and managed to have some good training sessions for trailer loading this week so we can actually travel to the new barn on monday. I wonder if i should go on with trailer training right away next day there regardless of all the changes or better let them 'arrive' a couple of days that will be emotionally quite messy anyway (new stable, new buddies, etc ect..) Hope you get what i mean 🤪

Buford is another one of my two yr olds I started a few days ago. First saddle. 

Day 1 with my 2yr old filly voodoo. Shes not 2 yet. Late foal July 19 but close enough. Es20 all day all the way😎🇨🇦

I met a client with a 4 year old mare that is shaped like a snake, nose to tail, at a resting position. 

right hind goes out, left in, right front goes out, and left front goes in. Her neck curves out to the left and her head tilts in I  would just like some advice on how to tell if this horse should be riden like this or not
