Hello i love how you handle horses, I would like some advice... I have a gelding that is a quiet, well mannered horse ridden last year trainers cant say enough about him... but i am afraid to ride him.. i took a nasty fall from a mustang (not my gelding) i would get on any other horse besides my gelding I've raised him, done everything but why do i loose my nerve when mounting him.. I love my horse and have tried every confidence building with him but it never works.. is it just me? Thanks,

@NamihaTaiga I have been there, I was kicked in the head one time they had to clean the mud off of my brain.. It was my own horse that did it.. Well I trained alot of horses the next six months but her I would get the shakes ..Then one day < I just started with her and work thru it..Now what I would do if I was you with some help just climb on and off of him then one day just walk a little ways and dont worry about how fast you are going or what anyone else thinks... take the pressure of you

@david12000000

... well i cant say hes been the perfect angel towards me.. when he was a colt (i had just started out on horses i know that was a WRONG move to get a rescue colt..) he reared, kicked and bit me in the past.. and

now that i have finally taught him some manners.. we're a good partnership, anyways I will give it a try! thanks he stands and enjoys the saddle..now that he has matured, just the old gut feeling gets me every time.. lol!

i've put my weight on him, sat on him, he is smart.. he did kick me once(along time ago) i couldn't see since i am half blind in one eye, when he was a colt he had a BAD rearing problem. it was from previous abuse from the first owner. i finally calmed him, taught him manners and now he never spooks or fusses over things, he has the "Sargent" temperament. he helps me settle spooky colts, lol Thanks alot! its a great help.

very interesting. I am from england and classically trained - western riding is generally a mystery to me but i have done a similar height thing when backing youngsters -wondered why it works. also use pressure halter when teaching problem loaders. . . . . .mostly not my hores any more lol. Really love the gentleapproach you have.

cincha set to.....rodeo!!!

[Staryeyedcountrygirl]

Not cool... I was concentrating on your talkin and then that damn dog had to start barking loud...I had the volume all the way up so I could hear you because you were so far from the camera.That scared the crap out of me. Funny the horse didnt move a twitch but I damn near s*iT my pants.

[Firebird894]

David, do you know of any Australian trainers or horseman who use a similar way with horses that you do? I have to admit I am in over my head with a horse and need help. I had one guy out who was turned out to be hell bent on using food. I said no I dont want it done that way but Im just a silly woman and he has trained hundreds... but I knew I said no I dont want him learning that way. damnit wish I was in the states I would send this boy to you lol. I admit to being scared of this horse.

[Duchesse1981]

Really like the video. There are way to many people that advertise themselves as good trainer but they are not. I thought I did ok training most horses BUT every horse is different and will teach you something. Let me tell you folks, YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING WHEN YOU WORK WITH HORSES. So keep educating yourselves and keep watching David. He is doing a damn good job.

[ladybloodrose]

hass a horse ever yanked you off the barrel?

[david12000000]

not yet,lol I have pretty soft in the halter before I do that.lol

[snoflaked]

Appaloosa?

[david12000000]

No a gray quarter horse..I do have other people riding him now..But with other people riding him.. I saw his hocks is pretty much blown.. Not only did someone use to much spur on him.. they pretty messed his legs up also..

[david12000000]

Well ladys it isnt that hard to jump on the barrel,, yes Holly I did pre work on him.. wish I had filmed him when he as bucking.. What I need is for someone to follow me around the camera all day.lol

[ebonpharo]

David, I don't think I could hop up so easily on that barrel the way you do!

[hollysjubilee]

Wasn't able to have sound when watching both bucking videos, so was more tuned in to the visual, and am impressed by the smoothness of the cues and the baby steps in each "asking" for a response from the horse. Obviously, you have done the necessary groundwork with the horse to get him to this stage, and it shows in his total relaxation and acceptance of whatever you have asked of him in this session. The toughest part would be hopping up on the barrel and keeping it steady . . . lol.
