she has an amazing trot for a green broke horse. congratulations on successfully starting her. and it is the best feeling in the world to see somebody start a horse right, not just "cowboy up".
Wow...that was so good...Jewel is gorgeous...I was just wondering what steps you took to breaking her in from the beggining-just rough bullet point kind of thing. Thank you xx
hey my horses name is Jewel and i decided i am going to start getting on her back in 2 weeks.I trained her myself wow thats kinda weird same name everything haha she is really cute and is totally commited horse i like her.
just wondering....i have seen quite a few of ur videos and i was wondering do u like go to peoples farms or barns and train there horses for them?? and by the way ur an awsome rider..how long have u been riding??
Nice job. You have such a great seat and hands that you are making it very easy for her. Did you long line her at all or just lunge her? She's a very nice mover and such a nice attitude. You are to be commended for starting her right and quietly! Good job.
She looks more animated at the trot in this vid then the other one. She is also paying close attention to you. Looks like she has a very smooth trot. She seems to have nice impulsion even at this early stage in her training.
Unfortunately you don´t show how it started: mounting and first movements. We see:Your horse is doing extremely well, great forward movements. But one should also mention that that is mainly due to your way of riding her: very soft, very carefully!
Both of you seem to be fully satisfied: Your body language tells that you are happy riding her - but she is also happy with you as her rider! If you continue that work the two of you will make a matching couple!
Looks like a great first ride! You're doing a great job with her. How long did you ride her this first time? I know the video's only about 4 minutes, but I assume the actual ride was longer?
Yes the ride was longer, I was on her for almost 20 minutes. That includes getting on, being lead around a little, slowing moving into the longe circle, on the circle, changing directions, all to the point I get off. Most everything was at a walk of course, all trot that was done was what is on the video. Enough time to make progress and thinking work, but not too much to over-tax and push her too far.
kool i wish i had a horse. my dad is soo cheap!!! and he hates horses so that makes him selfish too bcuz that is one of the reasons y he wont get me one. whats color horses do u get along best with mine is light bay
wow!!!! all i can say is great job!!! u 2 really connect. Keep up the good work!!!! Btw. you have a good hand, and nice hand position and u maintained a good contact!!! Good luck w/ her
she looks like she would be a fabulous jumper. is that where shes headed?

She's a 4-yr-old mare, and she still longes better than my 15 yr-old crazy gelding. Sometimes I think he was gelded late....
:D adorable horse!!

Was she a racehorse?
froggy8765 3 years ago
No she was not off the track - no race history at all. This is her first start.
halfpassgal 3 years ago
Oh, because it's easy to assume she was a racehorse because she's a TB, and some racehorses retire at 4. And you said you'd been working with her.
froggy8765 3 years ago
No she is a future dressage star. ;D
