This link should take you to my YouTube channel, "The Keebler Channel". We completed the task, "swapping eyes", but I let him make me move my feet. Next time, I am going to have a flag in my pocket. When he backs up, then we'll trot circles. Thoughts or advice?
I have a new to me filly little over a year old. She don’t move off the flag or anything. Trying to start with her just free in the round pen and she just pays me no mind. Never had a young be so nonchalant. I do know she was loved on a lot but never really worked with. She can be a bit nippy when she does not care to engage with what you’re doing. Only wants to walk on a lead if lounged. I’m trying to start her on the ground before winter gets here in Michigan so she will be easier to completely start on the spring. Any suggestions?

Well my time with the 14 year old rescue mare is over. Last weekend I brought her down to the trainers challenge with about 40 rides on her. We took 5th overall! Had a youth rider win some ribbons on her the day before. This mare was a challenge- and to some way too old to be started under saddle. She taught me more about my horsemanship than any other horse I’ve had in my program to date!
Hello everyone!
I've been following B1 Horsemanship for a couple of years, but I recently switched my membership to the annual plan, so I thought it was a good time for a little introduction.
I live in Normandy, France, where I run a small ranch with horses and a few cattle — living their best life, since they're only here to help train horses and people. 😉
I have several horses that I ride, but I'm currently starting a new one: a nice little 4-year-old mare.
I've been slowly working with her on the ground — including with a rope — since last year, and we've now been working under saddle for a couple of weeks.
Since we're still learning about each other, we're currently working our way through the Snaffle Bit Series.
Oh, and of course... a picture. 😉
I watched some of the snaffle bit videos, which made me stop and ask this question. I have this Happy Mouth snaffle bit, but am questioning if it’s right for starting my young Gypsy, or if I should get a d ring, dog bone iron one. Which would you recommend?
I started my horse training business with my dad 7yrs ago I broke out on my own. Today is 1 yr since my dad passed so with some money he left me I spoiled myself a little. Fester black. Fungus Dunn/roan and ferg bay roan.
Never give up on yourself and always do your best. You never know what is gunna happen in life or workin with your horse. Put your mind to your goals and show up for you everyday
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself and my boys. I’m Robbin from Oklahoma. I was on the fence in joining this program because I’ve participated in several that left me more confused than helped. This one makes sense to me, and more importantly, my horses. Here’s a pic of my boys. 🤠
I can highly relate to the series about the stiff Gypsy Vanner.
