Young Filly - First Ride

[LoveHazienda]

her trot looks ssooo smooth

Makes sense to me, Thanks! I'm just starting out and am happy to receive any info possible.

[catouzet]

Do horses like to be spoken to in high tones, and to be reassured so often? I was told opposite, but that doesn't mean anything. Anyone have an opinion?

[halfpassgal]

Do you like to be rewarded or complimented? There is nothing wrong with a lot of praise - emphasize the positive as much as possible. The high tone is just an up beat positive tone. We do not speak the same languages as horses obviously, but they nderstand tone. They understand the difference between a positive up happy tone and a growling negative tone.

How fantastic! She's a cute little mover. I would snatch her up in a heartbeat.

Great job with her!!

What is the little sound you are making like a little brrrr (at 2:41 is example)? What does this tell the horse? I like the sound of it.

[halfpassgal]

Sorry I never got to this question. That noise is a sound I use to slow or calm. Rather than a 'whoa', which I used for a complete stop, I used that noise for a slow down, relax.

What a good girl! You must have been very happy with her :)

[rachel51893]

Do you use side reins when starting your young colts and fillies?

[bbeffanniie]

shes such a good girl for her first ride!!

[robinyoung71]

I would have never guessed that this was her first ride. You must have done a lot of ground work with her. It it kind of sad in the western world that not a lot of ground work is done with the bridle before they get on and I would like to learn how it is done since I have never done it myself.

the video is a tad dim... is there a light in the pen you can turn on? but what a lovely filly! all the best with her!

[ck1791]

I would have never guessed she was first ridden in this video! She has the best trot I have ever seen, is this filly going to be competing in Dressage? This one is a winner.. I can't wait to see another video of her progress! I definitely want to see her canter, she will probably blow everyone away cantering.. If her trot is that great, her canter must be amazing! Thanks for uploading, this video is very rewarding to watch! 5/5-favorite.

[cheesmnky]

what a beautiful, floaty trot.  Absolutely gorgeous. I look forward to seeing her progress

[kattycake2]

Her trot is beautiful! You have a very nice sit trot! She could be a dressage horse later on!

[EventingQueen92]

[MoNaZandAED]
