Bucking Strap-Nightlatch- Recognizing Signs and Tests of a Fresh Horse - Rick Gore Horsemanship

http://www.thinklikeahorse.org/ -

Here I explain what a bucking strap or nightlatch is and how it helps you stay in the saddle when the ride gets rough. Here is a link to my site where I have pictures and talk about the bucking strap: http://www.thinklikeahorse.org/index-2.html#32 -
Then I use my "PINK" hoof pick and talk about saddling a horse and then I get on Mr. T and show you what resistance looks like, what a fresh horse acts like when they are telling you that they are not ready to be ridden. Tanner shows clear behavior that he is not happy about me riding him and does several test to see if I am really in charge, he test to see if he really has to listen to me, he test to see if I am paying attention and he test to see what he can get away with, if I miss any of those tests, then he will become worse and will trust me less and listen less. So it is critical that you are able to recognize these signals and then respond appropriately to these test.

Here is another video on a rope night latch:

i have a horse that hasnt been ridden in 10 years...any advice???

[horseawareness]

@vampirewolf224 : Start the horse over like it has never been ridden, to the horse it never has. Slow is fast with horses.

Ay rick its been real hot in texas can u come film a video here so the wind will pick up maybe cool things down? haha

[threehorsez]

Tough enough to use pink hoofpicks? :) I love the videos. One thing I would caution people is to tie your horses where one can't get his head under the other's head just for safety's sake.  Love what you're doing - keep up the great work!

I enjoyed your video. Nice work. I could almost feel the motion of your horse when you sit in the saddle. You make me feel like riding. I understand everything your doing. I often had to get horses ready after the winter months.

Rick, sometimes you drive me crazy with your video's. But, yeah, there is a BUT, this video is really good. I like the check list and your review of getting on a horse that hasn't been ridden in a while. This video is a good refresher of what one needs to know and do. Thanks!

when you use that stuff when your horse starts to buck you pretty much get bucked off right away. its all in your legs and the way you move your body when the horse is bucking.

I love how he says the horse is just being a horse, cause a lot of people don't seem to understand that!
