Moving a Disrespectful horse and giving to pressure 1 - Rick Gore Horsemanship

I had to stop the vid to catch my breath after you said "There goes a wasp right there, if the horse gets stung we're gonna see a good show in a minute."

hey my horse is scared of water and i try not to give him baths or cool him down only when i really need to and i always have the water low and i never squirt it hard on him but he always moves away and acts scared. can you make a video on how to make a horse less scared of water?

I dont tie them fast if they like to pull. they can get hurt easily. I had two of my horse be pullers. The one would panic and the other was older and for a long time before I got him had learned to work the halter off and dig holes to China. I did what u just did and I also worked them away from where they were tied and rested them tied. If they started to dig I would take them and work them then rest them where I tied them. They are really good now.

I just bought a new paint gelding today-unbroke. Thanks to all your videos, my other paint is almost the perfect trail horse. I say almost because it's too vain to say plain perfect, but he is great. I really do have you to thank. "It's never the horse's fault" is THE BEST lesson I ever learned, and I can't wait to see how wonderful my new gelding does. My horse and I have a bond built on trust. We understand each other now. I look forward to more of your videos. Many many thanks!!!

Thank you Rick! I was anxiously awaiting your response. I understand your reponse fully and I am going to continue to make this happen for her. She deserves a good life. I can give her all the love in the world, however it is fruitless if I can not discipline, guide her, gain her respect, and trust. Meanwhile she got her first "rinse off" today and I put some swat on her burned hide and maybe due to the tenderness tom. she will be less reluctant to pull. Your direction is so apprecitaed!

Part 2 Question NJTammy: I am concerned that I am causing her pain because of my lack of knowledge. She will pull back and lean into the pull and when I try to apply pressure she will Not move forward to relieve the pressure. She pulled and pulled for over 5 min. and I was so tempted to let her loose however that is how I got this problem. She did move forward a little so I moved back. She is banging her foot, quite mad and keeps trying to pull back. Please give me your expertise. Thank you!!

@NJTammy : Your lack of knowledge is the problem but your concern does not matter. Learn more, work with the horse more more, you may have to cause some pain in order to show this horse you can dominate her. She is pushing you since she knows you don't know. Getting a pulling contest with a horse is a great way to teach the horse they are stronger and smarter than you. Only pull a horse's head to their butt that way they cant pull back with advantage.

@horseawareness Hello Rick, I wanted to let you know that today went much better. I can give her all the love in the world but if I do not direct, guide, discipline, gain her trust, and confidence that love will be nothing. She did try to pull back again today, however only two times and she did release to pressure. I was a little hesitant due to her hide burn from the halter to retie her today, however she was a little uncomfortable and that in turn I believe made her not as prone to fight it.

@NJTammy : Glad to hear it. This horse is teaching you, be a good student and learn her lessons well. :)

@horseawareness Quick question, I am considering getting a horse when I am older but am unsure on the gender. Some people say the gender matters, but does it? I'd like your advice on if it honestly matters or not.

[NJTammy]

Rick, You have given me some tips in the past in regards to my baby filly that was a rescue. I really need your guidance. I had tied her with a rope halter, that is all I use, and she broke loose about two weeks ago. She pulled back and then slipped her nose through well she almost got hit by a car, because of my Stupidity. I was able to take apart my halter to make it small enough that she can not get out of it however she keeps pulling back to the point where she has a rope burn on her nose.
