If I manage to make a video this weekend, what is the process for getting it reviewed? Post it here? Upload to Youtube and send a link to the email? Thank you!
We have an App, hes about 10 now. A FB kill page rescue (eye roll). He has food issues due to he was about a 2 when we got him and sick as a dog. Hes tall and athletic now. He gets impatient and wound up if you dont get him in quick enough to eat. He tries to push the fence down or toes up to jump it and has. Charges the gate and if you dont get open or really firmly push him back he will bolt over you. I tried working with him making him back and stand until he licks and chews and it was working until he decided now to attack the fences and go around me. Also, my farrier and I have messed with him to try to get him to let us hold his feet for a trim. I can tap his canon and he will let you pick it up on the first ask, but wants it right back and weve hung on with all we had to try to keep from reenforcing his habit but hes alot. Not sure if hes claustrophobic our just a jerk, he has a calm look in his eye when he does it.. So we have to stick him to trim every time. Theres times he takes on an aggressive stance bowing his neck and pushing his mouth against my leg and Ive given him the chance to bite if he wanted and me ready to deal with it but he backs off, maybe im just reading him wrong, ive handled a few studs and have seen that before tho and been bit. Even the other horses get tired of him and run him off because hes ill mannered.. Hes secure tho and I keep him away from my wife and all because I dont trust him. But theres other times he can be really sweet. When he gets bracy and wound up hes a pain. The other 8 are great and more often than not Id rather play with a good horse than fight with him. I just know if something happened to me hed end up in a bad spot or hurt someone if I dont try to help him. I dont plan on riding him unless theres a drastic change of attitude me being 64. He bucks like a pro and would definitely shake your salt. I can get him to yield fore and hind no prob and he is mindful on a lead. Just after a min or so he gets bracy.. Im stuck with him in more ways than one.
This week's video is a good one. I really enjoy the little filly that's in it, Caddy. It will post on Friday at midnight. Let's all stay up and watch it together!😀
Does anyone on here get notifications when there is a post? If so, how do you get them? email?
I'm sitting around a hotel room in Las Vegas sick. I don't know what I've got but I hope it's cleared up by tomorrow! What have yall been up to this fall? Any good stories or pics?
I have a question regarding how to introduce your young horse to more speed/pressure? I have a horse that’s a coming 5 yr old and I feel like he has a good foundation however being rode as a ranch horse they aren’t exposed to a lot high speed moments…lol. What are good things to help him develop performance under pressure of speed?
3 King bred fillies started with the ES20 colt starting program and the ES20 snaffle bit series. Love all your videos/series. Looking forward to the ES20 rope horse series!
So, I have a coming 2 yr old that I would like to start using your ES20 as a guide. Is there a cut and dried set a videos that walks you through each day? I tried to look through the Naches set of videos, is that where I would find each day?
Thanks, this colt is a nice one and I want to put a good start on him. Also, what are your thoughts on desensitizing colts? Do you bring in tarps and all that stuff or do you just expose them to new things as you train them?
I have a 14 yo mare that is totally insecure. She follows RIGHT on my heels (she will step on them sometimes) and wants to be right next to me. But she is TOTALLY distracted with everything around her. She doesn't know where to focus. The only time I can get her to have her eyes on me and fill attention is if she's right at me right shoulder. I'm trying to do the colt starting program with her but I can't get her off me to work with her. If I do get her moving she won't stop. She just runs in circles indefinitely. I think lesson one is even too much for her. She is always guessing then double guessing what she should do.
She's NOTHING like Neches😅😭
