Dressage Work In Hand/Ground Work - Teaching Your Horse to Be Calm, Light, and Responsive

If your horse...
Won't stand still
Won't move over when you ask him to
Won't back up when you ask him to
Rushes forward when you only ask for one step
Dances sideways when you try to get him to stop
Swings his hindquarters away when you try to go past his shoulder
Won't let you change sides
Gets in front of you when you're leading him
Is spooky and prancy
Charges past you through small gaps
Hits you with his head while you're leading him
Hangs on the bit when you're riding him...

Then this video is for you! This video will give you exercises to do to help your horse be calmer, lighter, and more responsive. The exercises will challenge his balance and help him find better control of his posture and feet. When your communication becomes really specific, your horse will have to listen really carefully to understand what you want. If you reward him for focusing with a click and treat, you'll seen have a horse who is as easy to steer, whether you're taking 1 step or many, and who stops as easily as he moves out.

great video! my only issue is that my horse is 17 hands, and very strong. I can't control him, and he's almost dangerous. He needs a lot of work. Any suggestions?

@MdaughertyK Do the work in his stall or somewhere he will feel safe. It doesn't take much space and a horse can't learn if they are scared.

great video. I appreciate informative videos like this. I also really like the fact that you used a beginning horse. It shows a much clearer idea of what to expect.

@babyhorsey6 Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you like the vid :)

I am so glad you used a "just beginning" horse. I gives a much better picture of what to expect, and not to get frustrated when you don't get what you see in the video.

Thanks for saying so. Some people haven't understood that was what I was trying to do, so I appreciate your comment!

Wow! Great video! I am definitely recommending this to my young cousin, as this will give her a better visual. Did you make this by yourself??? You look and sound so young! Again, great video, and great job!
