Earn your horse's respect and learn to communicate with your body language through liberty & ground work in the round pen. Find your balance point on the horse, learn to move with your horse and communicate through your body language, focus, energy & relaxation.
The round pen gives ... By: mysticpasos. on 06 Sep 11, 00:25:52 The round pen gives your horse liberty in a small space - freedom within limits; choices with consequences. With a halter and lead line you can build a strong bond. Start by harmonizing with your horse in the pasture, keeping slack in your lead line. She stops, you stop, she walks, you walk.? Do this until your mare checks in with you with an eye or ear, then lift your rein and suggest that she go off in that direction, relaxing and going with her. Teach her to follow a feel.

The clearer you are? in your body language, the softer and happier she will be to do as you ask and, as you discovered, that is a fabulous feeling. Have fun.

You need to teach ... By: mysticpasos. on 23 Feb 11, 03:20:11 You need to teach your horse to mirror your energy and relaxation and how to project a driving energy and a drawing energy. If you want your horse to come to you, walk a circle that will bring you maybe 20 feet behind the horse. To keep an eye on you, your horse will turn its head or body to face you. When it does, back away, creating a draw. If the horse starts toward? you, turn and walk away, creating a stronger draw. When the horse reaches you, just stand and rub it softly.

I used to ride this ... By: pikkparis. on 16 Mar 10, 14:29:34 I used to ride this girl's horse. She was very? very hyper and would never walk in a relaxed manner... I rode her for 1-2 years. I noticed that the bridle was dry and too big. so once, I tried to ride her without the bitt and only in the head-thing you usually lead/tie up horses with. I've had long trips with her riding w only that and without a saddle, and she was another horse. She was a lamb and listen to every movement/thought you made.the owner never gave her a chance
33 years old? That ... By: mysticpasos. on 10 Mar 10, 21:49:58 33 years old? That is beyond the normal life expectancy of a horse. Is he sound enough to work? If so,? then let him go back to the barn and make him work there, doing circles or figure eights. The barn becomes a place of work rather than rest. Then ride him out again and let him graze away from the barn. If a horse backs up, you can say "great - back up some more for me" until he asks to go forward. Running under trees means you don't control his feet so practice that in a safe place first.
I have just began ... By: geocachelinda. on 10 Mar 10, 21:26:18 I have just began riding again after several years. I have had a few lessons but am not an experienced rider. We started leasing an old quarter horse (33 yrs old) and this horse will not do what I ask, he will only go as far as he wants and then tries to return to the barn. When I try and stop him and turn him, he backs up? instead. Another horse I rode was the same way, wanting to go back and running me under trees! The old horse knocked my husband right off under a tree. Any suggestions?

I doubt that he ... By: mysticpasos. on 17 Dec 09, 05:36:32 I doubt that he forgot. Horses may wake up happy & engaged, or grumpy & distracted. Liberty gives my horse a chance to move his feet, discover that I control his movement, choose to sync up with my energy and relaxation and ask to? be with me. Sometimes it takes one turn of the round pen for the horse to elect me as its leader. Sometimes it takes more. Until the horse chooses to follow my feel & energy at liberty, I don't get on its back. If you are consistent, he'll become consistent too.

A horse's eyes & ... By: mysticpasos. on 04 Dec 09, 23:00:33 A horse's eyes & ears tell you where their attention is focused. Tension shows up in worry lines around the eyes, the whites of the eyes showing, tight lips,? tight neck (often high), feet whacking the ground, pogo stick gaits, clamped tails...... It is all part of a big package. If their head, ears, neck and lower lip are relaxed, they are relaxed. The physical shows you the emotional. Take some time to just watch horses communicating with other horses. You'll begin to read them.

I hope that works ... By: mysticpasos. on 11 Sep 09, 00:17:12 I hope that works for you.? I can tell that you love barrel racing, but think how dangerous it is to have your horse rear with you. Trying to win a race isn't worth getting you or your horse hurt. Take some time to build your relationship and foundation so he can give you the speed you want with harmony and control. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
You are truly ... By: x1moose1x. on 10 Sep 09, 20:59:10 You are truly amazing:) I will let you know how my barrel race goes Saturday, I think part of my problem is me expecting him to rear on me, which is making him do it. I'll try to relax and keep him calm:) I hope this works, I would have to sell? him if he hasn't improved :(
Let me know how it ... By: mysticpasos. on 10 Sep 09, 01:50:17 Let me know how it goes with your boy. When a horse gets scared, his adrenaline shoots right up into us, making us tight. Knowing that, I've trained myself to breath deeply when something goes wrong. When I sigh, it sends oxygen to my muscles and relaxes them. Try it. Horses bolt for lots of reasons, but one reason they continue racing away is because their human is tight. When you calmed down, so could your horse. The predator on his back? wasn't scared, so he didn't have to be.

It takes years and years of work, conditioning, and training to produce a piaffe. The horse and rider must first master all the levels of dressage leading up to Grand Prix. Only then can the horse? perform a correct piaffe... otherwise it is just a useless trick.
