Ground Training: Leading the difficult horse Part 1 (Natural Horsemanship)

To learn more http://fdhorsetraining.com/FDTIinstruction.html
This video shows me working with my yearling Warmblood filly. I work with her on both sides use a walk around the farm to connect and get softness and respect. She is a good example as she can be quite full of herself!

have him circle around me and do much like you are doing to this filly at 2:14. Although, he doesnt really react like this filly, he will just continue to rush forward, and all I do is keep the pressure on his shoulder, and hold his head back and just have him walk beside me. So pretty much I am just leaning on him and he is leaning on me. What do I do about this? Thanks so much!! ^^

@kamiherring Hi and thanks for your comment :) I don't know if you have done much Liberty work with your colt but I always start there. This is not Round pen work but work in and open pasture, paddock or arena. When I have good connection and communication there, Then it is time to start working "On Line" or "In Hand". Clear Communication is the key. Be clear about your requests, timing and releases. Slow down. The 2 videos show how I address the rushing and pushing into me. Hope this helps : )

Very interesting to see you work with Elsa, Farah. As you know, I've been doing almost exclusively Waterhole Rituals with my yearling colt Destry, and I find it so preferable over any rope work, but you do need to get back to rope as well. Sometimes when he's really full of himself, I need to do just as many turns and yields as you do with Elsa before we can get a straight line, even though he will perfectly companion walk with me at liberty.....of course in his home territory!

This video is a bit older and she is a fair bit better now. At this point were already into doing WHR and some line work. I like to do line work for leading purposes. She has learned since to load in the trailer, be clipped, cross tie, straight tie, and get feet done. She is actually the first one to volunteer for school. She is an enthusiastic student I am pleased to say! Which I attribute to WHR...

and when he bites we slap him (not to hard) to tell him that thats not ok but that just makes him want to bite us even more!!

If you can work with him in his pasture, I would go in with him and stand still. Don't go to him. Don't try to catch him. If he comes to you. Have a lunge whip or driving whip and "Shoo" him away out of your space. Don't touch him just move him away by waving the whip low to the ground with rhythm and energy. Every time he moves and stays away, Praise him with your voice. He will learn to move away from you when you tell him. Look at my liberty videos, they would be what I would do with him.

@FDHorsetraining okay, that makes sense.... thanks :) Appreciate you answering me ^^

Hi, I have a colt that is 1 year and 4 months, and there is a field between my trailer and his pen that I have to walk through to get him to the trailer. When walking through the field, he will constantly stop and will not move. Usually I will wait, and let him look around, and apply little pressure, and most of the time he will walk on. Am I doing this right?

On the other hand, while walking back to his pasture, he will try to rush to his buddies, and I feel that I am very calm and I

Biting is a lack of respect, ya can't stop it with a simple smack. If you've ever seen young horses play, the old i bite you, you bite me back game is awesome fun! This is all it is to him, a game. He wouldn't try to play this game with someone higher up the ranks than him.
