roundpen training yearling green horse

beginning roundpen basics, walk trot and canter. You can tell when this yearling horse is paying attention to his handler by watching his ears. Glendale's inside ear turned towards Emmie indicates he is listening to her. He is aware of her body position relative to him and also how she holds her lunge whip. A raised whip is more active than a lowered whip pointed down or at the ground.
With her body slightly behind Glendale and aimed towards his haunches Emmie encourages his active forward movement. She slows him down by being more passive, or blocks his forward movement by approaching his shoulder. Blocking him and changing her whip hands tells him to change his direction of travel. If he resists turning, she moves actively towards his head. If he tries to evade her cues, she insists more actively to correct him.

She is not doing things wrong. When you are doing that to a horse you are showing him that he needs to listen and respect you. when the horse gets to the point where he really wants to stop you wait for him to ask not tell you. Then he will be looking to join up with you. He will see you as a leader of a heard of just you and him. The horse will enjoy being with you and listen to you really well. She was moving alot but that part doesn't matter alot

@gilliamichael Thanks a lot for that good explanation! Today this horse is extremely friendly and also very respectful.

I hate reading comments where people try to tell someone that they're doing things wrong because they aren't doing it the way they would do it, and you see that ALOT on here. Looking at some of your other videos, this way obviously works for you, so there's nothing wrong with it as long as you aren't hurting your horse, and it doesn't look like you are at all. Everyone does things differently, and no one way is the right way. Good job, he's a gorgeous boy :)

@Clutchy402 Thanks for your comment, I agree there are too many opinionated and narrow-minded people! This horse now age 5 is super light and responsive as a carriage horse also under saddle. Glad you have seen my other vids, hope you visited my channel and even my blog if you like, simply Google petArtistWithPeaches

I never normally comment on videos, but I am rather upset by the negative, "You're going it all wrong" comments. She is doing pretty much everything right. Moving the horse forward by placing herself behind him. Stopping/changing direction of the horse by placing herself in from of him. Adjusting his speed by finding the appropriate medium inbetween in front and behind. I see very little wrong here. Good job, "horsepaintings"!

If you really want your horse to completly respect you eitheir when your on the ground or on his back,is that when your lunging him your feet should not move,and you don't always have to follow him.If you keep your feet in one spot your making him do the work not the opther way around.

Sorry a ment herd

[donthurtdogs]

Your doing it all wrong, your walking behind him, if you know what REAL rounpen traing is supposed to look like you would know it is supposed to me more like a triangle. You body should be facing THE MIDDLE of the horse youbeing the TOP of the triangle him being the bottom. Your behind him, teaching him to run from people. Horse learn from pressure and release, not buy chasing them around in a pen with NO RELEASE

[horsepaintings]

actually it is sheath noise, you'll only hear it at times with a male horse. Good ear!

[1URMYBESTFRIEND1]

y do horses make that noise i was told it was there stomach or something but was it really?
