yes, no prob, i think if more people were patient with their horses they wouldnt get hurt as much and the horse needs time to think about and process new things, great job
@rudyismyhotshot U R so right! They are thinking breathing animals and not push-button machines. The younger and less-experienced ones especially need time to be allowed to process new input and gain confidence in themselves AND their people.
u cant always get of and lead or your horse never gains te confidence to go with u on its back, i think u did a great job making him face it and going slow
@HorsesandPonies101 I disagree - this horse wasn't being disrespectful, it was fearful. Tightening the reins and yanking the bit do not help a scared horse to relax. This rider was gentle, patient and calm which was the right answer for this situation absolutely.
@GoodRedBlackRatio thanks, you are in tune with a natural horsemanship which allows the horse TIME to experience and learn to deal with its own feelings! Thus it learns how to be calmer and braver and to trust its person. Patience is something not all riders or trainers have enough of.
I dont understand why they didnt let Gilford (the buggie horse) to go first, because if the green horse relizes that, that horse can do it.. then he will follow.
Somtimes if we cant get our horse on, if it can back up, we back the horse up and it backs right up onto the edge, than we turn it around and its fine.
I would have let the horse pulling the cart go first. Then the other would proberbly of followed because he would have seen the other one cross and that it was not dangerous.
im not being mean but if you are gunna make a horse do something then make it do it! there is no point just nudgeing and patting it everyso often! get on with it or your horse will never listen!
How about watching Vid #4 of this series, and see him cross this bridge. There are some kinds of training done not with force but with the horse's own fears-- and yes, feelings-- taken into consideration, and working with the horse as a partner rather than just a dumb animal to be dominated or forced into a situation he is nervous about. She is allowing the horse to decide by giving him time to face his fear. This sort of natural training produces a confident horse who will trust his rider.
THis horse is very young and just learning, so it is way better to take extra time with him and earn his trust. To get rough with a green, untrained horse would be like smacking around a toddler. Yet some riders or supposed trainers would do just that, and accuse the horse of being stubborn. A horse's fears are very real TO THE HORSE!
Actually when you pat & rub your horses neck your telling them its ok & to not be afraid. Its way better taking time then forcing them which can lead to disater w/ your horse not trusting you, but if your horse is just being a butthead & refusing to move on thats when you take no crap & make em move.
@XXHorseGallyXX my only problem with her "patting" is that it was WAY too rough. sounded and looked like a slap and when the horse was nervous and super sensative anyway i'm sure he thought the same
You are telling him with your voice and the touching.: yes be afraid its a big terrible bridge. you are the leader so you have to tell him where to move. and after moving across the bridge you can tell him he is the best.
Actually the patting and praise is his reward for moving closer to the bridge, or for when he stands and faces it as opposed to trying to turn away. She's encouraging him forward (with her legs) but also giving him time to figure it out for himself, to develop his confidence. It works too, see vid No. 4 in this series!
Also did you know that patting & rubbing your horses neck is showing them not 2 afraid? B/c you are in control. I always thought that was cool & use it all the time & every time is has worked out =)
if u next hav a problem like that try leading them over first, if they see you go over first and they trust you it tends to lesten the scare facter lol

You don't want to force that situation.
A horse on top of you on the bottom could happen TOO fast.

good job
i would have gotten off the horse and taken it over the bridge my self
keep going back and forth on the bridge to show him that there is nothing
wrong
i did that with my horse when people were sawing wood(electirc)
he did fine with me walking him past it to show him there is nothing to be scared of

leading him can be a good idea... so long as you know he leads real well, and is not likely to freak out and pull away from you.
