 Disupple and relax instead of being tense so Letting them have let's let them explore again, and then I will go back to some more some more hind quarter work. I Like to think there's a headlight on my chest. Oh, yeah, just like on the ground remember Now I still use the rain on a horse like this. I'm riding in a halter. My hands will be more exaggerated sometimes It's not like finishing up. It's not like we're in a you know neck raining or something So to realize that What if you work a horse on the ground in a snaffle? Well, that'd be fine. I do that in hand work and so if I do some in-hand work well, then Maybe I would erode them with a snaffle bit today, but this is the way it worked out for me There I feel like you could look to the left a little longer. Come on, buddy Could he step that? Nine quarters over a little more. Okay. Let's not be too greedy It's looking all right. Oh He's got a really nice walk when you relax us and get stretchy. That's gonna be he's gonna be fun He's gonna be a fun horse to ride Looking good. He's probably gonna want to go to the I was just gonna say he's gonna go to the left But I straightened him out. So he's looking to the left Letting them explore if he trots I trot if he can or if he can or I can or He needs to just find confidence in me Relax. I'm sitting slouchy Not jumping or anything. I'm not galloping. I don't need to have a I can have a soft tone in my body His back feels good when he's walking. It's when I pick up the rain and I start to bend That he gets a little tight See that nope forward motion He says he's going that's sort of they'll regress they'll go back to Sort of what I call spontaneous recovery might go back to when he was excited before maybe he stopped his feet. Oh Yeah, that's right. What did he do on the ground when we started? He stopped his feet So he's regressing or sort of Almost like a reflex type spontaneous recovery action. He's like stop my feet. Nope. Nope. I'm gonna say hey, buddy Pay attention to me. Listen to me. Don't go into your old state of mind Come to me buddy. I'm gonna help you get through it. We're gonna get your hindquarters working right one day That's what that'll work for me. Just walk off and I don't want to just pull to me to the right So I'm gonna walk off to the left. So notice I was using my left right left leg Lateral aiding one side of my body Got it. So then I don't want to change direction right away. I want to keep that circle going to the left Kind of play around with my hand positions on the reins and then at some point if I feel like yes He's like right here. He's thinking left. Okay now go. Let's change direction. Go straight or go right I'll show you again. Just just a little bit here Gonna move his head. I'm gonna use a right bent right rain. I'm gonna use a right leg I'm just gonna spiral into Just getting that hindquarters to cross under a little bit you get a little more This is very primitive in a rope halter at first. So I'm not gonna get a perfect turn on the forehand. I don't really need that I need him to cross the hind legs and then after that happens He's already bending right. So then let's bring our hand kind of out slightly leading him Through onto the circle. So now it's not the hindquarters anymore. It's more like a little circle Now he's really looking to the right here. Ah, good. He's thinking right to bend So then I have no problem straightening out and going to the left But if he if pulling on me if he's pulling to the outside Get him thinking about the inside with your inside leg and range like the jump is here on my left Wiggle my left drain on my left leg a little bit Let us see he's looking to the right. So that's interesting. There it is getting him to look into the left I'm riding. I'm very simplistic That's what he needs at least that's what I need. I don't know simple can be really good Getting him to look to the right. I like I like the right bend. I like the right bend. Let's try a left bend Visualize what I want to have happen before I do it. We go forward and I'm gonna turn left come through The jump standards. It's just a little doorway Get him to look to the left. I like it. I'd like to come down the rail and come back towards you and Yeah, he saw a car way out there through the window actually outside saw a car and thought that was quite interesting So he's the type of horse. Obviously that notices lots of things So for galloping out in a field He he might not be thinking about his feet all the time He might be thinking about what's in front of him and what's the danger what's gonna hurt him You might be worried about that so here we go again I need more left bend look at need that left ear to come around He wants to go to the right, but he needs to draw the mind to the left The left I'm just kind of concentrating on him a little bit looking for that there looking for that left ear And the there and the hindquarters just to kind of break over a little more there that'll work leave him alone Yeah, I'm asking a lot aren't I and the reason is he needs to look left and think left That that'll work He sucks back. I say you go forward. Take that hind quarters Forehand through the turn more my hands exaggerated Kind of coming out to the left pointing almost pointing come through the turn when I feel like he's solid On left bend then what we'll do We shall go straight and change direction see that But I don't want to let him was if he's thinking about bending, you know counter bending and pulling I don't want to let him go there Want him to find where look where I'm looking feel for the human be mindful of me Where am I looking? Where's my chest pointing where my eyes looking a horse can tune into that To the right Trying to get smooth what I love about this horse Once he's walking and for moving he's pretty nice and forward He's he actually does sort of turn loose pretty well at the walk. I mean I realize there's a lot He's kind of yielding off well. I Don't know that I could go on outside go gallop. Well, maybe you would turn loose. Maybe that's just what he needs That's later. It's a little wet today This is feeling all right to me I'm gonna think about the mounting block and put my thoughts to the mounting block and my attention to the mounting block And of course, it's that left side. So maybe he looks at it and he goes Say can you no, no, don't pull on me that way think about that mounting block here He'll run it over. I don't know that I want that either See, huh, maybe he will run it over. I Guess the problem is you and you think about something with the horse. It usually happens Huh Imagine riding up to a jump Saying to yourself, I think he's gonna refuse. I think he's gonna stop I think he's gonna stop and he looks at the base of the jump where your legs pal Got me a little nervous there for a bit. There's the mounting block. I don't get too nervous Just kind of wondered where his back half went a little pressure situation. He's gonna find it He doesn't know what I want. I want him just to stop and halt by the mounting block He doesn't understand that I'm gonna reinforce my aids My for reinforce my my idea Alright, and then he says well while I'm over there. I might scratch my nose on it Almost done. We'll walk off a little bit. Let him have a thought and think and you know, and maybe he goes That mounting block thing. This isn't so bad Maybe I want to go over there It's a halt zone Sort of oh, yeah Now his neck muscles They're tighter than you think if you touch them if you touch his neck you go, whoa, he's quite tense and so he's really not Is relaxed as he will be one day. I don't mind though right now with where we're at It's gonna kind of help him find that block That'll work. I like a lively horse. I know I mentioned that it's a few times but Almost there guy Now he doesn't know this yet But he will one day that if you park me by that block I'll get off your back now It's a pretty good place to be Right now. He's so busy Keeping not keeping his mind on the mounting block and he he keeps his mind He looks around and there's that hind quarters kind of moving around hind legs moving around a little bit So his attention you need to direct his attention You're restraining me Jack. You're keeping me in one place here and he'd like to go move a little good boy Every time I move his hind like this. It's a bonus Good kind of clapped his side actually more not the pet but just to sake of me your attention There it is. Come on. Think about me forget about all that other stuff. Try that. It's a step in the right direction or left Direction, come on, buddy It'll make a boring video if you don't give me the here the mounting block She's so close and then he can't hand he can't quite he goes. I don't want to keep it there on my side I don't want to Skeptical a little bit. Yeah, it's that thing. It's that mounting block thing buddy that that thing's important I will take what I can get there because I don't want to work on it much longer His attention. Yeah, it's better. It still wants to go. He's Off to the side and other places. He's again. That's just sort of the way he is But I think he's sort of figuring out like hey This guy's not so bad. I mean that wasn't so hard was it? You know, and he says well, that's real that stuff's real weird and snory. Oh kick up your hind legs You know, that's sort of the Good my intent is it to have him stand while I rope his owner didn't know That will make him a roping horse She's probably thinking I just want to jump stuff and do dressage I say this is dressage. It's training good Well guys You got to kind of see What I do working with a younger horse or a thoroughbred younger thoroughbred You know, I probably wouldn't vary that much if I were doing a horse that never been ridden I mean you might see something similar to that It's all pretty down-to-earth common sense and there's a correlation between my groundwork And my riding and that's something for you to think about if you Are working on the ground Think to yourself good boy He goes out as a tough one Think to yourself is what what you're doing on the ground. Is it gonna correlate? Is it going to? Mesh up when you're in on his back That's what I think about with groundwork Well anyway See if I can get his attention He looks away. I might just start moving that rope more He's not he's not he's not okay with this, but he's not he's doing fine He's doing good for the type of horse. He is across the front Good it's gonna hit him or more on the the ribs good Humans do weird things buddy. You just you have to understand that not everything is threatening. There's a change there. I Hope you enjoyed that. I really liked working with this horse. I thought he was pretty nice To work with His attention can get better it will But if you have any questions You can get ahold of us you might have to write in the comments below if it's a video on YouTube or something Like subscribe share Tell your friends because we want to try to help Snorty horses and snorty people that are nervous with horses. So I hope you enjoyed that. We'll see you again
