@MollyAndMe09 Well you can space out the treat rewards. one day he will only get a treat every two bows. the next day a treat every three bows. the next every four, ect. if he becomes stubborn (say only getting a treat evry four) then you go back to every three. eventually the treat will become irrelevent. BUT MAKE SURE YOU PRAISE ALOT WHEN YOU DONT FEED THE TREATS> your horse will seek the praise instead of the food reward. simple substitution. :) good luck
@Apacherz818 oki :) thank you :) my horse learned it really fast, after half an hour she did it perfect :D but now I have to learn her not to take up her foot when im not asking for it, cause its cind of hard on-tacking when she holds her foot up all the time xP But she's learning fast so I think it will stop soon ;) (sorry for the bad english :P)
It is dangerous when not done correctly. Just like barrel racing is dangerous and can brake a horse's leg when not done properly. It's dangerous just like going on a trail ride and something spooks the horse or he get caught up in god knows what. Thats why I posted this video so people wouldn't do someother stupid way of teaching/forcing/man handling their horse to bow (ropes, hobbles, whips, teathers, et al) That's when horses break legs.
@Apacherz818 Dont start with barrel racing is cruel. Jumping is the cruel thing here. but anyway um you seem to be doing it right. im just scared im gonnna hurt my horse. im homeschooled and have allways been a bit of a 'outcast' because of my love of horses. i now am down to one friend th ats human lol. I have 2 horses and one of them doesnt let anyone but me near him , much less ride him. So he`s sort of my best friend. so you can see where i would be scared haha
I didn't say that Barrel racing is cruel. I am simply stating that any activity done near a 1000 pound animal can be dangerous. I was simply putting in perspective.
@gobarrelracing Jumping isn't cruel. It's basically showing what the horse can do already naturally but being showy at the same time. I do both barrel racing and show jumping so I know about that stuff. Being cruel is doing something stupid and harming the horse... Get the facts straight before you blame a discipline that shows natural gait/ability to be cruel.
do you have more tips ? like how to teach the horse to lift his legs in walk... and how to make him stand om his bak legs? if you know it would be frabjous!!
i really want to teach my pony tricks. i started with bowing today, and want to do other stuff aswell, deffinately rearing, when im on her and from the the ground, but i dont really know how to do it. have you got any tips?
you should start with a simpler trick first a good one is shake a hoof but the rearing trick could turn into a bad habit thats really hard to get rid of believe me my horse is like that so be careful
I started training one of my horses to bow but the thing is I don't like how they are looking for a treat the whole time. nipping at your hand for one.... how do you wean off the treat because i don;t want to always have to use a treat anyway.
I've been planning to make a video to explain the answer to this question, I haven't had enough time to actually film it, So the best thing that I can "tell" you is when your horse gets to pushy poke him in between the nostrils and he should back off. starts alternating between treats and no treats w/ lots of rubs, then get farther and farther from treats to rubs. does that make sense to you, at all?
Yeah I think she'll be ok. I mean don't do for hours on end but that the same with any other equine. She should be fine to train for 15 min a day or so. Tell me how it works out, I think when Minis bow their one of the cutest things in the world actually. :)
I have a question, my fav horse Red is learning to bow by me but he's a veeery nervous horse and his box is small...does it mather if its small and do you have any pointers for a nervous horse?
this is such a good video. this is very lovely that you have explained it so clearly and taken it slowly so that you are not putting too much pressure on the horse, also that you dont do it over and over and over, because less is more. so i think that this is a great litle vid, congratulations and thankyou for sharing.
I'm gonna try and take a video of my horse bowing, he can't do the prettiest bow though, he needs to be chyropracted bad. He learned how to go all the way to the ground with a whip cue in a week! Thanks for posting this vid! It's very helpful!
Hi. Great Video. Well, I read the comment below, on getting on your horse when It bows. I would like to try this, with My mare Honey.
But here is the problem, I am a heavy rider. My horse is a Clydesdale, about 17 hands, 1600 lbs.
Once I have her really steady and trusting at the bow, how much weight do you think is safe? This would be really useful, she is tall, and I do ride bareback a bit. And I would love to be able to get on like that.
Thank you very much. Well 15% of 1600 is 240 lbs. Sooo if you weigh under 240 lbs I have no issue with you giving it a go. :) But yes, definitly have her be very confident at the bow before trying. :~)
oh, well, I definatly will be fine then! I may try it, IM not sure, I might wait a little longer, just so she can develop some more muscle, and confidence.
awesome! I've been trying to teach my horse how, but I'm afraid that I'm not understanding things on the internet. And one question:can you get on a horse while he's bowing? I'm not too afraid of the spooking thing, because I'll be sure that he's OK with it first, but does it hurt them?
it all depends like if your 96 lbs and you own a percheron and try that's fine to do. But if you're 168 lbs and try with a shetland bad idea. I personally do not because Apache has ocassional trust issues from his past. if you wiegh under 15% of your horses over all wieght and if you can jump onto their back without flailing around like a rag doll it should be fine! :)
this is a very good point! weight has alot to do with it, and also lightness and ease of getting on. i think you should be good at getting on lightly with him just standing first.
i tought my stallion to bow, i never touched his legs, but he figured it out well himself. after he was competently bowing, i sat on his back while someone on the ground asked him to do little bows. after a few days he did a good bow with me on, but you have to remember not to interfere with them, let them ballance. he did have a little hump once, but was good after that. next step is to get on while he is in bow, but i prefere both knees down for this.
Gotta find his treat cuz lord knows he won't be happy without it.... LOL SO true! If my horse doesn't get the treat he drops he gets all mopy and stares at me until I give him another one. lol
Thank you! I hope it went well. The only way your pony could break its neck is if he were bowing on a 75 degree incline and had a neck that was only strong enough to hold up a tooth pick. :) No, teaching your pony to bow will not break its neck. :)
Hmmm--ok, I'm back after watching the second vid. you put up about bowing (the one addressing questions), and I noticed just how in-your-space your horse is--pushing and nosing for treats over and over...that's exactly what I DON'T want the HUMONGOUS draft to be doing (safety first; respect my space!) so now I'm thinking maybe I should just NOT teach this at all because of the effect it's having on MANNERS b/c seriously, his head is as big as my body (not including my legs) LOL.
Yes, I do know that he is in my space. I had time constraints when I was making both videos and Needed a good take. He is normally very respectful of it, but he caught on that I wasn't going to get after him and was being pushy. But I have corrected him and he is back being is own respectful self.
so, what do you do to correct him when he gets pushy/invasive for treats; pinch his nose w/ a verbal "NO!" when it's invading your space? Does that work eventually? Like I said, the draft is huge---so I def. do not need to create treat-aggression while attempting to teach this to him---advice on what has worked for you? How best to proceed so as to keep him respectful while still maintaining the learning process?
yes, that may work. my best tip is be consistant. Horse's have the brain power of a three year old. if no means no when you say it, it will mean no. but if no means every now and then, that is what it means.
OK---I have an issue so I'm asking :-) I gotta 3 yr. old 18hh Percheron I'm trying to teach this to. He becomes a HUGE treat HOG--total treat tunnel-vision and I'm thinking that he's really too pushy and he's actually pinned my hand against his leg to GRAB the treat (thankfully my fingers are still intact)--does this "phase" go away eventually or is there something specific I can do to stop him from acting SO greedy/grabby? He's HUGE, so even a little grabby is a BIG deal, here. Advice? Anyone?
The only way this goes away is if you teach them. You have to be careful not to let them bullie you even once or the lesson will be much harder to teach when you make up your mind to do it. The more you permit it the worse it will get. Stop him now. This is part of good ground manners. This can also translate into further problems at feeding times. They have to know when it is their turn to eat or have privledges just like children.
I have a quick question. Is it normal for the horse to try to put his foot back down when you are making him reach past his knee to get the treat? My horse keeps doing that..
That is awsome that before training this trick you are considering the safty of others!
the Only reason i felt it was ok for me to teach it to my horse is she lives with me and i am the only person training her. though my family is fully aware of all her stunts.
but if you want to teach her in a way that is very hard to stumble upon the que you could make a triple cue ! i have never done this yet but i know it is possible ! i have only done a double before but some people do triple ! Awsome V!
gwgallopergirl. yes it is ok to mount while the horse is bowing . i do this with my horese all the time and it is a good improvise if you do not have a mounting block . while riding bareback if you get of and are not tall enough to get back on without help cue the horse to bow and climb on !
cool video ! but um you never finnished the trick ?? your end result you still have to walk him back into the bow ?? the bow is not finnished until you give him the cue and he can do it on his own . i taught my horse this trick and all i do is tap her shoulder and she bows . but you and apach are doing a great job !
I never really wanted him to learn to finish the trick. He is boarded at barn where alot of very young riders take lessons and I do not want him to bow and accidently hurt someone if they give him the cue unknowingly. You never know with young kids. But I apprieciate the feedback. :)
yes you can teach your horse a signal if you wish. For Apache it is when i lean up against his shoulder. I am not a big fan of mounted bowing. It puts alot of strain on their knees. It is possible but You ,yourself need to gauge to see if your horse would beable to support your weight in that position. in short, if you really want to, it's your choice, but I would not suggest it. But it's up to you. ^^
Great to see someone going it in a humane, sensible way without tying the horse's leg up. I've been trying to teach my QH mare to bow using this same method recently. She's getting better. :)
Yes I have seen video that are like that and that is why i decided to share the video with everyone. Because this way is completely positive to both human and horse. Im glad she is doing well for you! ^^
She's not at all unhappy doing it since she gets carrots and peppermints out of the deal. I've been working with her for two days now and she's getting the idea to go down on her knee today. :D
Well, I don't have anyone to record me doing it so I'd have to hold the camera myself while asking her to do it but I think I could try soon. When I asked her today she's learning to pick up her foot when I put the treat between her legs. It's cute, she's usually my "ditzy blonde." XD
I don't know why I didn't think of that. XD I'll have to see if I can't figure something out to set it up, I usually do it in the backyard and it's sort of a strange spot so I'll see what I can get.
Informative video, thanks! Do you have a cue that you can give them to go into the bow without having to pick up the hoof, though?

lol. You could get a stool or chair and put the camera on top of it to record, that might work.

I don't know why I didn't think of that. XD I'll have to see if I can't figure something out to set it up, I usually do it in the backyard and it's sort of a strange spot so I'll see what I can get.

Thats good, you should try something like a command so you say or do something and they do it on command rather than lift his leg all the time ^^
