Whys everyone complaining, these people have broken the horse perfectly, they didnt rush a thing, and used lightweiht and experiance children to start him off!
@DWguineaPigFan no worries on my part. This was not posted to change what I believe, but to show others how safe starting a horse under saddle should always be. Since I started working horses this way I have NEVER had one buck in response to being started under saddle or any other adverse reactions for that matter.
Not bad at all :D I have a horse and she's pretty hard to handle, even with natural horsemanship. The girl did a great job! And the horse is quite pretty, I love his coat color.
@CherubHorse when we rescued him as a weanling he was a regular chestnut with flaxen mane and tail. Then his mane started coming in dark with silver hairs and when he shed out the second year he had a brindle color to his coat and his light colored lower legs turned greyish. His mane and tail continue to darken, but his winter coat is always orange. I had someone tell me it is the silver dilute gene. It is beautiful whatever it is.
@reiningtrainer That sounds like a very confusing change lol... Imagine at a riding stable... someone who rides that horse in lessons takes a break from riding for a few months...comes back... Who is this horse in Dover's stall?!?!
@thewildmustang91 doubt he would have rolled...he was responding to the weight by starting to lie down. This was the first time he carried ANY weight. He never did it again, that day or to this day.
@secretariat888 Nope pretty sure the outside is the correct side of the horse....LOL Actually, when I start a horse I work off both sides from the very beginning for a bunch of reasons with the number one reason being it makes for a more solid foundation that makes the horse prepared for any type of advanced riding he may be asked to do.
I love how suddenly every non-rider on the internet instantly becomes a 'horse trainer' or a 'professional' as soon as they see someone breaking or backing a horse. People don't understand that it's hard to train horses!
@USArmysis1 I try to encourage those that are training their own horses, especially kids. Reason being, that is how I got my start. My parents are not horse trainers, so I had to read and do. We spent a lot of time with our horses and were blessed when it came time to break them. Most times kids do a much better job as they do have the time and more importantly a dream. In the same token I don't take kindly to ignorant arrogance from kids or adults.
@devilgirl434 I don't have a definite answer to that question. It was a first time for me as well. Dover breezed through his round pen work but something did arise as I worked with him. He had a very playful, dog like attitude and to this day he can be a real prankster. It is my Opinion that he simply lay down as a first time reaction to carrying weight. All horses respond differently to those first steps and that was his. He has never tried to lie down with a rider again.
@TheWrongLead it is to get the horse accustomed to having something happening on both sides at the same time and as prep for when her leg comes over and may bump the horse during the process of swinging over.
@CutePoniesLOL We had a donkey jack when I was about your age...he was very stubborn. We never did get him broke so don't get discouraged. You must be on the right track if he is improving.
@horsecrazyhaley Dover is a Draft cross, most likely a pony was the stud as he only matured to 13.3hh. He was a by product from the ranches in Canada that collected pregnant mare urine from Draft mares for human hormone replacement therapy for women. The foals are taken off the moms as soon as the mom becomes pregnant again after foaling. My daughters mare Princess came from the same Canadian ranch and we got them both at the same time from a local rescue ranch. They are both great.
I got my first horse when he was 4 months old and when I was 13 I broke him myself :) I did all the groundwork and training, and he was three (he's an Arabian so we waited another year) and he didn't react at all when I put my weight on him :) now he's 4 and I'm 14 and I can literally do everything on him, (stand lay down, ride him backwards etc.) My trainer is having me break all her young ones, and I sat on my filly for the first time a couple weeks ago :) Great job with yours!!
Age means nothing! trained my first horse when i was 12 and she was 2. untouched horse not even halter broken. Broke her in slowly and now we are winning first place in dressage. shes almost 4 now and im almost 14. Ive done al the training myself.
Wonderful job on the groundwork and prep work for this horse before walking off for the first time! Very gentle, very forgiving, calm attitude; that's what creates a confident, solid riding horse!
Great job:) Hey i have a 3 mouth old foal she lets me put on her halter and she lets me brush her and she let s me pick up her feet but when its time to walk her even by her halter she freaks out and she s also face shy and one have any tips for me if yes can you please reply on my channel thank you so much <3
@082lucky I have a bunch of articles that will help you on Ezine - Jodi M Wilson author "Can't Tough That - Ear Shyness - deals directly with ear shyness. Working with a baby should be short and rewarding, easy and full of small steps. Your foal needs to learn how to release to pressure before you start leading. Then you need to put specific cue spots on her. Take your time and have fun.
@TearMeDownTonite the only reason I am aware of for getting on the left side dates way back and for convenience to right handed soldiers, cowboys etc. We get on both sides from the start so if we get in a jam and need to get on from the right side we can do so without the horse getting upset. One good example is when I broke my foot. I could not get on from the left side until my foot completely healed. I also get on from both sides with a new saddle in order to stretch the leathers evenly.
when i rode a horse i was in kindergarten LOL, but it was at my old friends house, xD Ive only ridden a horse 1 time but i want to ride one thing is i live in the city and my parents dont let me do that stuff, any ideas of how i could ride a horse?
@MusicGyrl1 I am sorry to say that if your parents wont allow it then you are stuck. You need their permission and most likely their signature on release forms for any place you could ride. That being said, you can try finding a stable/training barn near you and approach them about working in exchange for lessons. You could also look for horse rental barns near your home and try to get the whole family on horse back for a fun afternoon. Good luck and hope you get to ride soon.
