Clip two from Jay O’Jay’s colt starting video entitled Journey to Connection from his series of Horse Training DVD Videos. The journey begins with Jay outside the round pen and with an unbroken 3-year-old filly inside. Jay explains how the round pen is the ideal venue to communicate, show leadership and form a connection with your horse. Jay demonstrates when and how to first enter the round pen. Then, as Jay starts to establish himself as the “dominant horse of the herd”, he begins the steps to cause and control movement. Using a combination of verbal cues and body movement, Jay continues working with the horse to reinforce the movement, change the filly’s direction, and control her speed.

Thank you, very helpful.
Extremely helpful! Thank you.
Thanks!
wow GORGEOUS horse.
Hello What size pen is this and what do you use for the floor is it just sand?
Usually about 50 ft and 6 ft high
You don’t show your body language when you ask for a change in direction… the video zooms in on the horse. How exactly are you positioning yourself, shoulders etc. when you ask for the inside turn? Thanks. Pretty horse!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FILLY!! GREAT instructional video as well!! Lots of helpful tips!
my 8 month old colt , what can i start doing with him…i dont have a roundpen here in ecuador….he also has to be put out to graze on a long line…no pasture. He is alone with me…halters pretty well but has taken to tossing and pulling.
Any cues about starting..Ive never raised and 8 month old before!
He is going to look like your palomino when he grows up! Sweet boy….alittle head strong! thanks! Ill be watching ..L
what a beautiful horse
I have been riding for about 9 years and i bought this horse, Ace. He was so poorly handled that we had to detrain him of bucking -well they were more like bunny hops. And he recently has been very aganist me (or anyone) mounting him. he fine when we ride though. when i try to mount him i have to bring the sturip up to his front shoulder or else he will kick out at me. Its just an accident waiting 2 happen, his ears are always pinned back when i mount. Is there any advice that u could give me?TY
I really want that Filly !
wat if you dont have a round pen
Use a lunge line
Type in ( lunging a horse) on youtube. Pretty simple…
Didn’t u listen??? You want to establish leadership and trust. You don’t need a lungeline for that. You use body language and voice…. good horsemen don’t need either saddle nor bridle.
