One of the most important things I do with any horse, every single time I get on. Is work on my stop seat, and my bending rein.

I want my horses to be happy to stand around and wait before we get to work.

I cannot overstate the importance of these two cues, stop seat and go seat.

This exercise also gives me a chance to check in with myself. Think about my heart rate and my breath. Make sure I'm being the person I want to be.

I have found there are two ways to work though a horse that gets stuck when learning new things.

1. Be super patient and reward the smallest try.

2.But if a horse has a learned pattern of internalising and shut down I find the best thing I can do is work on a super easy cue that reconnects their feet to my feet.
(And reward the smallest tries)

Unlock their feet to unlock their mind.

This is how I first introduced sidestep to my horses. I like to use a wall. As it helps my horses not push forward
:)

I also like to work on my reach steps, more than my cross steps.

My horse walks so slow he sometimes just stops in an arena -

This horse is a nice reining horse - I am not a reining trainer. - but it doesn't mean we can't work on our fluidity in our walk seat.

This is how I work on our communication ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
walk seat cue .
Go seat cue.

Food aggression Can be super dangerous, be really really, really really careful in a herd of horses with food.

Personally, I don't feed horses in paddocks. But lots of adjustments do, and lots of privately owned stables do.

This is how I work with horses in my own herds, and show them how to be.......

If you ever find yourself attending a horse beach treck, there's only one golden rule !!!

Never ever say the words ' I Can Gallop.'
As this will result in three things

1- You get the least comfortable, least educated horse.
2- The guides instantly think that you're a NUFFIE
3- you will be treated like the NUFFIE you are.

Having worked at a riding school taking beach rides for 17 years. If you want the best horses, the best ride and the best guides understate your ability.

I cannot tell you how perfectly this worked out for us Muriwai Beach Horse Treks . We truly had the best morning and the best horses....

Turns out Miranda can Gallop too hahahahahahahaha

Timing is everything, if you have perfect timing, treats can enhance your training.

None of my foundation training, is trained with treats.
Everything about my foundation with my horses is about my horses. Trusting in my decision as the leader to keep us all safe.

Where we place their feet, how we influence their feet, and the language that we build to communicate. Is all trained treat free.

I do however use treats with trick training. Lie downs, bow ECT.
This is once relationship is established, the boundaries of our relationship are established.

There's absolutely no judgement, for those who use treats well within their training. Personally, I love feeding my horse's carrots.

If you're really interested in what we do with our ponies, and you're looking for a step-by-step guide for building a language of cues, on the ground, that translates directly to ridden work.

Check out

equinesystem.com

It doesn't matter if you want to ride in a neck rope, a bridle, OUR knot free - Beautiful halter.

The consistency of the cues that we use on the ground translating to the saddle really helps our horses trust in our decisions as the leader.

Confidence comes from knowing we will succeed - and I succeed by teaching one cue at a time. :)
