Groundwork Training With a Young Horse : Preparing a Young Horse for Lunging

[jessicabearluvsu]

You should never train a horse like this...wow.

[Lizzie21LuvsSOS21]

i could train a horse better than you! and im 13!

[horsey12311]

the ladie to the right holding the yong horse wasent even telling him off he should have been told of by the second time.not good respct is what she needed from that horse

[kaylyn32309]

Terrible advice on how to sack out a green horse. This video is going to get someone hurt.

[icecream62898]

the poor horse sidestepped when he saw the towel.I really do not think the horse learned anything.and when you sack out you are supposed to do it on both sides,because the saddle pad touches both sides,not to mention the top of his back.At least before you start training these horses,earn their respect,or the horse really won't trust you

[GhodiGirl]

What is it with expertVillage? These so-called experts are TERRIBLE (the lady who teaches the western is even worse). I have had horses for 30 years and got my trainer's license in 1994. The first thing you need to teach a horse is respect. This horse needs lessons in simple leading and not trying to bite the handler. This horse has learned absolutely NOTHING from this experience.

HORSE WOMAN...PLEASE DON'T HATE ME...YOUR TIGHT PANTS..SHOWS YOUR SWEET PUSSY

HORSE WOMAN...PLEASE DON'T HATE ME...YOU TIGHT PANTS..SHOWS YOUR SWEET PUSSY

[KeytoRain]

your not an expert. and you sack out on BOTH sides. stop making videos

[breezyandmee]

So are you or EXPERTVILLAGE going to cover this ladies medical bills when that hose decides to really lay into her. I have only been a horse owner for 7 months now and that is not exeptable at all and just to point out you need to make it clear that introducing something new to a horse has to be done on bolth sides and every part of their body i believe this is called sacking out but what happens when you attempt to tack up and the sturrip touches them in a sensitive spot it = Trouble and injury

[tindallster]

not a good video at all to be honest. If your introducing a horse to a new piece of gear you should let him see it, smell it and with a saddle blanket let him play with it. I agree with a lot of the other comments a green horse should be taken in with training and tack very slowly and in a fun manner plus a bigger space for that kind of stuff is better, coz the horse can get anyway and you from it. Please don't profess to be a expert when you really aren't!

[HartleyMom]

I think every true horse person would agree that these "Expert Village" movies are conducted by people who are FAR from being experts.

[12HorseGirl12]

you always sack out both sides -.- and um get a life, you dont know much about horses, do you

[MissHeatherAnn1]

Expert village's newest video:

Part 1 How to get killed by a green horse (who doesn't listen or respect you) In an enclosed area.

Part 2 How to fall of a horse that hasn't been sacked out properly, because you forgot to do both sides.

[Yambeau]

Unfortunately the horse is more focused on the handler, not paying attention to what you are doing. You should be working alone on a longer line in a larger area like an arena, roundpen, or pasture if that's all you've got. Should never work with a green horse in such a confined area. Do we even need to address the issue of the concrete floor? Get out in the dirt.

[MegF142857]

Remember you have to do everything to each side of a horse. Just because the right side of a horse is okay with something doesn't mean the left side will be. You should tell people such things who don't know about horses. This is supposed to be training people to know about horses, right?

[hutson20091]

Who ever that lady is holding the lead rope doesnt know what shes doing shes just messing with the horse whens he should make him mind!

[xxkasforeverxx]

my gelding has been imprinted day it was born and sacked out very young with baby steps. so now I don't have to do that. I put the saddle straight on him and he did nothing. and he's well behaved. the horse seems like he's not paying attention. which means that doesn't even bother him one bit. I'm sure he's already sacked out and ur just showing how it's done. ^_^

[BarebackRider13]

This is pathetic. Get better trainers. Expert Village..Yeah..Real Experts..

[SleazyKitten]

that woman holding him is scared of him

[OMGitsJessiwoo]

Wow, that horse is really disrespectful.

I don't care if that horse is young, it isn't an excuse to act that way.

[4evadressage]

hes like eating the riegn and i agree hes not really paying full attention to the good work ur doing

[xoAnnxo]

I did this to with my filly, you have to do it on both sides though. Pretty horse.

[LordRoseberry]

What a stunning looking horse! I agree with a lot of these comments. I think one of the most important things is to get your hose tied up and to teach him to stand still and respect your own personal space! Some sweet hay in a haynet would be great for this! Then once he has learnt to stand still and to keep his distance from you, and only then I would start to lunge! He just needs to be taught some respect from his handler. The horse seems to be doing just fine though!

[universalradio]

He's just mouthing - he's worried and bored. Focus on what you have to do and ignore the head movements. Make sure to keep his head away from you, have control so you don't get chewed.

Sacking out is pointless. Getting him used to things on his body should have been done when he was much, much younger. But he looks pretty calm - he just wants to do something. Round pens are destructive, I hate them. She's doing a good job, he's just a bit twitchy. Young.

[kyleekowgirl]

That is a beautiful horse ;)

[my17time]

I will admit this sort of work should be done in a round pen instead of the wash rack in a barn. and it seems this horse is not paying attention to her at all.

Other then that I think she is doing fine, people need to chill out, not everyone is perfect this is obviously her way of doing things, So instead of cussing her out and saying she is stupid you need to take some good tips in for yourself.

[MegganSays]

some of yall really need to chill out. like ZebraSafariGirls said, it takes work and the horse isn't going to know right away. "oh well, since I'm a horse, I don't bite." If I was a horse, that would be far from my mind. Chill out guys I'm sure shes going to teach him.

[ZebraSafariGirls]

Keep in mind you guys, that this is a young horse, and young horses always act like this, that is the point of training them, they do not come automatically trained. It requires actual work.

[UnstoppableToMost]

Seriously, how about focussing on him not BITING everyone first?

[xoAnnxo]

If you didnt see the end part the handler nudged the horse after she was being bossy and the horse put its ears back and licked its lips so obviously she did something right and a young horse always tests people.

[zoeller83]

@xoAnnxo When you nudge a horse like that it just thinks your playing with it. What the handler was doing was just making it worse the whole time. Especially while horses are young you can't let them get away with anything. I've had a horse bite me when I was little and it's not something you want to mess with. Nipping typically turns into biting so you have to nip it in the bud asap.

[Whitehorse79]

This horse has no respect, no confidence, no training and you clearly have very little knowledge. I can see the frustration in your expressions. You need a lot more training, concentrated study and experience before passing yourself off as a horse training expert!

[notrealstars]

First of all, you should NOT do this in an enclosed barn! (that is just dumb and not safe at all) Second, if the horse keeps chewing on the lead, he is obviously not paying attention or even respecting the lead holder. Come on people, this is basic horse care!

[HannahKatexx]

Instead of just yankning on the lead when he chews it or tries to nip, use your voice. He will respond and realise that this is behaving badly. Pulling on the lead will only result in an endless fight between you or the horse. At the moment he not at all paying attention to being touched with different things because the lady holding him is the hugest unwanted distraction you could ask for. Needs to learn his basic manners before attempting any sort of stuff like this.

[195482]

Horse has no concentration at all - and is bored and focused on chewing. Perhaps it may be a good idea to discourage the mouthing and doing some groundwork BEFORE a demo on preperation for others to go by :-o

[LitlKarr67]

LOL! Very true equineequation!

[sdjbgfdg]

that was really point less cuz the horse was not even listening to you therfor did not learn anything or get "used" to any thing! you are no expert.Go back to school and get a job you are good in! (nothing with horses)

[Msmusicca]

@sdjbgfdg It's a ypung horse , THOUGHT

[lilmisscheeky166]

i agree with rebalcar and also i thought it was hillarious because your an "expert" however you never once told him off for biting??

[rebalcar]

you need to "sack out" bothsides" of your horse!!!

[grahamquacker]

hehe. good point

[equineequation]

maybe you should start with the "how to train your horse not to bite you" video
