  • When I have one foot in the stirrup my horse starts turning the oppisite side I am standing on. What should I do?

  • @thekelseymonster First, determine the root problem that has caused the horse to act like this. Was it the rider's toe poking the horse in the ribs? Was it the left rein too tight? What ever the cause, eliminate it.

    Second, you can control the hip from moving away from you by pulling the off-side rein. Put the rein over the saddle horn like I demonstrate in the video. When the horse moves his hips away from you, pull the right rein until the hip stops moving.

    Good luck.

  • I've got a jumper that does this, but he isn't trained for western. Could I use a bit like that with an English bridle or would I have to use something else?

  • @xxWolfofDarknessxx That bit is a common snaffle. It's used in the English world just as it is in the Western disciplines.

  • Ok thanks but my guy keeps backing up when I try to get on What can I do?

  • @Snakeiz12 First, make sure your reins are not tight and forcing him back.

    As soon as your butt hits the saddle, aggressively ride your horse forward.

    Keep this up and the backing will disappear.

  • So obviously this horse is trained really well so it does nothing on showing us... WHICH MAKES THIS PPINTLESS AND USELESS!!! I've tried that technique but it's called a stuborn horse then what huh???? You simply try your best and once there still get up like seriously POINT-LESS.

  • @ltrocha i wrote on your wall so please read it. it will explain everthing.

  • I dont mount from the ground because I'm 5ft 3 and I ride a 16.3hh horse :L but I notice that when I get on my horse he instantly walks forward regardless of whether I've got my feet in the stirrups, reins properly gathered or even adjusted the girth a bit :/

  • Thank you for uploading this! I've been having so much trouble with my horse not wanting to stand. It's hard enough getting on with a saddle but I love bareback and can't do it with her because she won't let me get on. I'm definitely gonna try this.

  • Every time I go to get on my horse, he drops down as if he's going to roll, sometimes he does but sometimes he stops and gets back up. How do i stop this? I've checked his back I've checked the saddle, the bridle, his feet everything but there seems to be nothing wrong. Please help

  • @whitewingeddove soreness would have been my first guess but she has been doing it for 3 years now and she doesn't get ridden that often so I'm not sure what would make her sore and when i groom her on her back and hip area she doesn't seem bothered...as for her bridle she does it with her halter too which has nothing to do with her teeth I am starting to think she doesn't like her ears touched for some reason which she always loved her ears touched before, hopefully she wasn't hit in the face

  • @ilovecub1 just wondering, have you checked your horses back (and shoulders, hips etc) for soreness, and have you had a dentist look at her teeth? she could be sore for any number of reasons, saddle fit being one of the most common reasons. and the behaviour you describe with her bridling sounds like her teeth might be causing her pain, more so when the bit is taken out then put in. just an idea anyway. good luck :)

  • Great vid and beautiful horse!!!

    My friends horse, when u try to get on her won't let her get near enough to the saddle to put her leg in, she just trots around and around and around while moving away. What should she do??
