after about 10 minutes he still wanted to walk off, but instead, he stood stock still looking at whatever he was wanting to walk over to. LOOSE REIN i may add, since im an english rider lol! but he knew it just wouldnt be worth his while anyway! its a great tool to use as long as the handler / rider has a good understanding of pressure/ release and cue/ response/ consequence. like most training tools its a matter of timing, feel and competence. im a convert!!!

thought id leave a little comment. im over in england. i produce show horses and ponies, we have a rising 4 year old that went to his first ridden show at the weekend. although his ridden work and conformation should have ade him win the class, his manners in the line up were rather appauling! so a little research on the internet and i come accross this video. the whole concept sounded logical and humane. so the pony had his first 'standing still' schooling today...

it starts from the very begining the stand is the reward. if you buy a horse broke and it wont stand to mount/ dis mount etc you will never really get it out of them. horses broke by stupid people are a waste of time

I like this! This method is much more safe, and the standing-still can be used as a clear and positive reward for the horse in other situations.

If the horse gets desensitized then the rider have pulled too hard. At the beginning you have to give a clear signal, but when the horse is familiar with this the rider can pull softer and softer, and in the end you can give a very small signal, and the horse still knows what to do :)

If you've got a good horse, they should be able to accept contact even at a halt. Once asked to halt, a horse shouldn't care how much rein contact you have; that's of no importance. Circling battles work on most horses, but I should mention as well that some naughty ponies will just keep circling forever. Also, don't over-use a one-rein stop, because if it's pushed too much, horses will become desensitized to it. Backing works pretty well too, if you trust a horse not to rear on you.

my horse WONT STAND

[StangChik88]

See to train a horse, you must brainwash him & then punish him by walking! That'll get 'er done! Good idea MATE

Question: My mare i bought 12 yrsold Quarter horse X TB And she will eather try to kick me will i try to mount or she will spin,Turn anything to not let me mount.

I have find it better to put him in the rondpen en teach him that every time I try to get on him and he goes foward, I let him go foward and take 4 or 5 loping circles, after a few of those believe he WILL stand still!
