@XMrsMarshmallowX Thankyou so so kind

You did a good job. I bet you next time all you have to do is just move the whip back behind your leg and he will move forward. Also something you can try since hes progressing so nicely in his training. Is allowing him to work on a loose reing or a looser reign Cause he has a habit of ringing his neck and pulling against the bit. So every now and let just allow him to walk on a loose reign to stretch his back out.

But good Job sitting the bucks

[poolsproperty]

@Megsweety1, Thanks,, yes thats hopefully true, i do try a loose rein at end, when he is settled

[Megsweety1]

One thing you can do, Is you ask him to move forward if he does not respond you ask with more pressure from your legs. And still no response then you give him a tap with your legs. If he still does not go You can tap him very lightly with the crop.

But good job. Hes going to start testing you now to see what he can and cant get away with. But your doing an awesome job.

@Megsweety1 Thanks, yes i do tap legs & even rock body but sometimes he dont listen, they do like to try us out a bit

[HevahhOx]

Dont beat yourself up about it! A small tap behind the leg is much, much better than kicking away at the stomach, just think of it as an extension to your leg. It's only bad when you use it hard, or at inappropiate times. It will take a lot more than you telling Zac off to ruin your good bond :) And well sat to the bucks :]

[poolsproperty]

@HevahhOx Thanks, yes i know but it just he didnt expect it ... i will have to balance what i need to get & not pushing him too far

[crazycrittercabin]

Awww, what a silly boy. :) He's a beautiful horse, by the way (as if you didn't know) May I ask what you use to edit your videos? I use premeir elements, but, unfortunately, I don't have a slow-mo effect. :/ Good job with him when he bucked, he seems like a strong boy! ;D

[poolsproperty]

@crazycrittercabin Thanks, yes i love him, lloks so pretty too, I use sony vegas but the the slow mo is from my camera i use not from the editer

[crazycrittercabin]

@poolsproperty Ok, thanks. My camera has slow-mo but only when you're playing it back. :)

[ginita105]

Good job staying on :)

[poolsproperty]

@ginita105 Thanks, yes haven´t fell off him yet .. just waiting to see when it might happen

[cincinlolz]

aha smart horse! a little too smart! i think its just cuz he loves and trusts u and he knos u trust and love him so hes just reminding u "hey! we are all friends here! u tap me i tap back!" but he obviously was just a little surprised, its not ur fault i kno how u feel cuz grant was scared of spurs and my instructor made me use them and he just flipped out and i felt like a terrible person u rnt theyre just like ppl and they just dont like certain things :) no worries tho 4 ur safety no more XD

[poolsproperty]

@cincinlolz Thanks, yes i think he was surprised by it! i try not 2use crop, but sometimes an aid can help but i dont like to upset him

[cincinlolz]

@poolsproperty i think we've all been there! im only 14 so i have to build up more muscle and its hard to get a horse going on a good day, let alone a day they dont want to move! and its important u dont let him get away with it this early. ive ridden 3 3yr olds and i kno its tuff but u guys will work thru it! ur fantastic!

[Tobi8010]

awee zac. Lookin good. I notice how hes always playing with his mouth, annd it looks like he has an elevator bit(wonder bit). Which is one of the strongest you can get, normally for jumpers. Maybe try a softer bit? My friend has a 3 year old shes training and she had a few stearing and going and stopping problems with him then she switched to a softer bit and her mare/filly listed a whole lot better. He's coming along very well. Cute little bucks :)

[poolsproperty]

@Tobi8010 Thanks, biting as horse is always difficult, but zacs bit a just a soft snaffle loose ring, i might change it, i´d love to find a really nice 1 for him, but no sure of what would suit him, so many types to choose from .. my other 2 both have myler bits, so i could try 1 of those ..

[acenkay]

bahha i loveeee it!!

my horse does the samme thing when i tap him with the crop on the but.

yoour a great rider btw:)

[poolsproperty]

[acenkay]
