    can you make a video of what to do working with a horse that was cowboyed/abused? my horse was cowboyed and now he rears and bucks while in the saddle..he is really good on the ground and is doing better with his desensitization.

    Don’t forget that younger horses may not be strong enough behind to keep the canter or lope for an extended period of time. This may be why they break back to the trot…they are tired and may have muscle soreness. Don’t ask for too much too soon.

    Young horses and beginner riders do not mix-period. Find a trainer to help you, now. This video can cause more harm than good because there is not enough information given. If the horse doesn’t know the cues very well and the rider doesn’t know how to give them, what happens then?
    RE: icebrooks, find a trainer to help you. Rearing the the worse vice a horse can have.

    i think most of these videos don’t do any good really. They don’t give enough information.

    No they don’t, though I will admit I am getting some pretty good entertainment from them.

  7. PiggyDog89 says:

    My horses were all cowboy broke… You can’t assume that because they were ‘cowboyed’ that they were abused and that is the reason they are acting up

    Good advice..no wait…where was the advice on what to actually do?

    what is the difference between a lope and canter?

  12. raphfreak101 says:

    They’re basically the same thing. The lope is more typically used when riding western and is more slower. A canter is slightly faster, but can be used in either western or english.

  13. HorsieGirl249 says:

    oh ok thanx

  14. raphfreak101 says:

    Try checking out the feed you’re giving him. Some give them too much energy, some too little. Treats also help…try bribing the pony to move. also what we had to do with a donkey I was helping with was we had a long rope threaded behind the donkey and through the bottom ring on the halter. when you pull, it should give pressure on the rear end and if you try that with threats, it should encourage them to move.

    if all else fails, try a trainer

    Lope is the western term and canter is the english term.

    try to make natural hormanship (parelli) with him. Its about who has the lead and respect, and its more you who have to learn to be a good lead, that he trust you.
    I try this everytime I ride a new horse, they are easier to lead.

  17. WildHorses159 says:

    lope is the same as canter. Lope is just another word for canter that most western riders move
