beautiful bay…
but what if the horse does more than just walk forward? my horse will even turn in place so her body is away from me. THEN she starts walking forward and past me. sometimes she even backs up when im trying to get on her.
Yes, do the exact opposite of what I say in the video.
Step up on your horse the best you can and then immediately make her go forward.
She’ll eventually quite backing.
All the stuff you describe are simply your horse’s “evasion tactics”.
It’s your job to counter act those evasions.
Basically, make each evasion attempt very uncomfortable for your horse and she’ll quit.
they kinda work but if they take a step before ur on them backthem up on the ground dont wait until ur on but other than that good tips
Hi,
Thanks for the tips. I’ve tried but now my horse is completely frantic about being mounted and as soon as I start positioning the reins he starts prancing around and I tried getting my foot in the stirrup but he galloped off. How do I calm him?
Many thanks for your advice,

its a cutting saddle and its made to get a good grip with your hand so you wont fall offf/
maybe start working her a little so she can release all that energy and then she will have patience,, wats that thing that they run in circle .. i only know it in spanish. is it called lunging.. yeah something like that.. not that tiried though just enough for her to be relaxed when you mount her…
wats so bad about kicking him a little.. everyone has there own way and i don’t know whats the point of not kicking him when mounted.. Gosh so strict over here///
Oh there’s nothing wrong with it. But, when I ride my horse if I did that to her she would take off at a full run. Or you’d get one heck of a flying lesson. You just can’t do that to any horse I guess was my point. : )
You know all horses are different. Will your horse obey to stop or can’t stop her at all? If you can’t stop her then that’s a problem.
Oh yeah she will stop. I think the people that had her before me abused her or didn’t fully train her cuz she spooks but at least it’s in place.
I use to do the same thing with my greenbroke filly.
She was a handful but I sure do miss her.
I may be a little cheesy but I usually do groundwork (lounging) before I get on. It takes the edge off. And I always lounge before getting onto an unfamiliar horse.
it would’ve been a better teaching video if he used a horse that gave him more trouble. “Here let me show you how I teach guitar, this is how you teach Eddie Van Halen how to play a really easy song!”
My horse is like a rock when I mount but when I try to get him to stop when I’m riding he doesn’t listen. I’ve switched bits and went to a hackamore once too and he did okay with the hackamore but then he stopped truning so I went back to the bit and if I ride him with his halter he’s perfect and stops when I tell him to.
What do you do with a horse that spins out when you try to mount?
i think you should make that horse spin untll it stands still.
@moodysoup i do that sometimes i just put her in the round pen (w/ out a loung) i clap at her n i run her around for a few minutes but she still acts up
excellent tips!
@Horse1245456156 have you taught him to give to bit pressure? he would be more likely to understand the halter because he’s been trained to with leading. Maybe try and use a halter with a bridle over top and when stopping use both, then do it without pulling on the leadrope, if he stops and gives to the bit, reward him. It takes time!
@moodysoup I always refresh my horse’s memory by doing some groundwork. It also tells me how good she is of a listener on that day. She’s 3 and tends to get stubborn at times, it helps a lot! I think it’s a great thing that you do this!
I have a greenbroke filly that stands completely still once theres some sort of weight in the stirrup, but untill that moment she tends to move away. How would I get her to completely stand still, and not just stand still when there’s some weight involved? When she moves, I do move her until she stands still again.
Thanks I never thought of that and I was 11 when I trained him so he doesn’t have alot of training he just does the basics, walk trot canter turn backup and kinda stops lol.
thanks. I had no idea how to stop my horse from moving. great video…
