There is ALWAYS something to learn! Horsemanship is a partnership. Connection before expectation.

I work in natural horsemanship with the belief to do my best for my horse and set him up for success.

Its Fall! 🍁🍂
Which means mud and cold!
Videos will be less, as WI weather is hit or miss, and I don't have an indoor, but I'll post as much as I can! 🥰

Why I Prepare My Horses!
Horses by nature are inquisitive!
So make sure you prepare them for any mishaps! 😅

This was my first ever LIVEstream over on Tiktok! I will try to do one a week at least!
I plan to get a mic, and answer any questions!
Don't miss the next one. 🥰

Thought I'd be Run Over 😂
I love fresh c**ts, they have so much energy! They try so hard and just fill their oats!

My hands be not working sometimes.
I still tried to lunge like normal, but I think he realized.
I appreciate him ❤️

Progress 📈
Don't expect your horse to be good at something in one day!
This session was the first time with poles as a focus (he's gone over them previously)

I want to work on engagement, lifting the legs and back, stretching the neck. As well as speed control by distance of poles at various heights.

I want him to think about his feet. I don't want him to rush through as he's kinda doing here.
If a horse consistently hits the poles over days, I may switch to logs for a while.
A log won't be hit around, so horses HAVE to pick up their legs.

He's a c**t and still learning about foot placement as he's getting better with leads and transitions.

I add an aid only after warmed up, and only for a short while.
Adding an aid too soon can ruin progress, especially if they're fresh.

Most important, I have fun with him!

What a ❤️ H U N K ❤️
Did some engagement work today with poles, with and without an aid.
This aid is very misused by others.
You are NOT supposed to tie it tight.
The horse should be able to get their head up, but just feel a touch of pressure when they do.
Like how undersaddle when you make contact with your reins and squeeze them forward.
It is not supposed to be a tie down!
I do not use it longer than 10 min at a time.
Release when you see the correct frame! Dont be greedy!

On the ground I will use poles and cluck for forward as he reaches and softens!
Use the poles to engage the core and the contact for them to lift.
This horse naturally lowers his head anyway, but I want to encourage it and help him learn to balance while holding it longer.

I used to use side reins years ago, I find myself not liking it. I want the horse to be able to turn their head left or right, to be able to bend properly. Side reins can limit or create a false bend in the neck by tightening one side.
I find side reins useful on a horse that has learned to balance on the outside, but if you can teach them the right away the first time thats great!

Pre-saddle work
You don't have to ride to work on your horse, especially when they're super young.
You can work on leads, transitions, carriage, side passing, softness, footwork, bending, stopping, and backing all by ground driving.
First in a halter, then will transition to a bit later.

I absolutely love how he carried himself at the end of the video. That's exactly what I am looking for.

For you! 😁
Softness comes from repetitive actions when the horse is soft.

Even if you are being soft, if you are releasing when he is heavy or dull then your horse will be heavy or dull.

Soft hands MAKE soft horses ONLY when THEY are soft.
Being soft doesnt inheritedly create soft horses.
So be aware of your timing and feel!
