I remember watching this when I had a lot of trouble with sitting trot and canter. Now it feels like a literal swing, especially with big-gaited horses. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I really couldn’t understand how my mum would explain it to me, I will try it on a fence. She had me doing it in a field, I’d put my right leg on, and my boy would go walking to the right, not very constructive, thank you for your help

I am 100% riding with rhe handbreak on. Its a habbit i cant break. Someone has to pull the handbreak out😂

your videos are always awesome and so helpful. Thank you so much! I have a small question please: you said at the begin that he should length the stride and his body. We do not want to throw the contact. I understand this. But do i put slightly forward my hands when i ask? Just slightly or do i only soft my hands, i mean open my hands only? Thank you so so much!

❤

Thank you for this episode.

11:56 am Sunday June 23, 2024. Thank you so much!! I learned a lot fir working with my OTTB ❤️ I am saving this for reference.

Omg your horse has such a beautiful canter, your so good together!!

Nice 👍 information good mam

This video is very helpful thank you I have always pinched with my knees I’m trying to fix it but my balance isn’t very good either but thank you so much for the video it really helped I just pinch on with my knees to try to be more secure and stuck to my seat btw I’m a very , much beginner

Nice work!

What about a biter

That mare is gorgeous

Do you just give your hands and ask or do you also squeeze or kick? Thank you!

My mare falls in and goes for an upward transition as a result. Is this an issue of balance?

😞How can i lift myself up straight and right and be relaxed with my legs and not slide off my saddle when trot a circle ⭕️ ?? I can’t understand how to do this..

I adopted an old mare who can barely see... she sees shadows... she is wonderful... I'd like to learn to work with her, do u believe she can do these things even tho she cannot really see??

Omg Josie, where have you been all my life. This is awesome no one has ever explained it like this and it makes so much sense . Thank you so much

i've just started training a young horse for the first time and found you while looking for some tips for starting to lunge. i've been binging your videos for hours now and i love love love how you train and how you build confidence in the horse! i feel allot more confident and relaxed about working with a young horse aswell now, thank you for your videos, they've helped me so much🤍

I’m very late to this, but would these same methods work on a mini horse? I’m volunteering at a barn with a very pushy mini mare, and they’re trying to fix it before they adopt her out. She has no respect for personal space whatsoever, and even if you stand a little in front of her, she throws a fit and tries the shove past you.

Just what I needed to see. I just can’t my girl to stay on. Sigh. Goes in beautifully

This video is great! Is Wayne the cameraman? He did great, keeping the camera on you! Nice to see more videos from you again Josie😊

Happy No Father Necessary Day

Josie, your such a gentle sweet person with your horses. They are so lucky to have you. Fabulous training skills aswell. Thank you🙏

Hi Josie, I had my 3 yr old loading lovely like this, and after an outing to a trainer, he suddenly refused to load to go home. He pulled back and refused. Nothing else had changed. I am currently starting over with this practice and being patient with him. Any thoughts?

Great video - thanks for sharing!

Josie great video. Can you please make a video on teaching a horse forward under saddle?

Great video again. I was struggling with my young guy backing off every time I went back to do butt bar, but hadn’t practiced standing next to him and walking back to his butt and petting him and focusing on him standing. Lots more practice ❤

Think of sitting on your :"Jean pockets"

I’m definitely a knee out girl and it’s quiet annoying

I love your method! Its very similar (if not the same) as to how I do things. Energy work is everything. What saddle are you using? I like how its a lighter, smaller western type saddle

Years ago an instructor had our horse club group learn belly dance hip movements, which happen to be the same movements in sit trot/western amble. It was easier for us pre-teen girls to get into our heads, and made the motion feel more natural.

I love how you show us how it’s done on an actual green horse. So many videos show how to do what you are on horses that are already master trained. Thank you. Just found You!

What you said about perfection really hits home for me. I find that I beat myself up pretty heavily whenever I make a mistake or lack knowledge. I am currently trying to broaden my knowledge in horsemanship and horse training. I work with a mare named Red who was previously abused. She is such a good girl, and has a lot of potential to be a horse that can change lives, but she struggles with anxiety, no confidence and mistrust. I keep thinking that because I’m not perfect, I’m failing her. However, what you said is so true. Me and Red are learning together. I understand that she can’t always be perfect, so why don’t I understand that for myself? As long as I am patient, empathic, and always willing to learn, I can provide an environment for this horse to flourish. Thank you for such a simple and important reminder.

Lady, too many words. You don’t speak the same language as your horse. This is a human problem. You are not a good trainer. You should not instruct online. Please stop.

Two months ago when I had just started to learn how to canter I opened my hips unconsciously and fell off the horse back landing on my left foot 😢 I got fractured heel joint and ruptured ligaments I’m still recovering from the injury. I feel so sad now that my training had to stop. I really want to go back to back horse training! I need encouragement 🥲

It's not a whip, it's a hearing aid.

I really enjoy your approach to horsemanship. Thanks for sharing!

Mam how to watch the horse fitness in peddock please tell me some tips

Don’t get the ‘squish’-analogy…

Thank you.... I need to try it next Tuesday

So amazing how well they can learn when trained correctly, love how you train them honestly, I'm new to all this but you can just tell how well your horses respect you.

Great video for me to watch...beginner horse owner.

Wow Josie, that is impressive! Especially at canter with your knees up in canter. I'm afraid I'd fall off, so please, tell me where your contact is - tail bone or sits? I'm doing these same exercises (add behind back, on head) in walk- trot on longe - I see the benefits for developing an independent seat and love it; 6 weeks, huh??!!

Not me having ridden for 5+ years and warching this...

The keep your nose behind your belly button I hadn't heard before but I'm definitely gonna keep that in my mind next time I ride!

Great advice. I instinctively got off my horse while out trail riding...he was just insufferable wanting to get back to the farm. Tossing his head, chomping at the bit, jigging... But when we got back I did not make it easy for him... he wanted to run and I made him do that in a large round pen. Once he was basically exhausted I rode him back out on the trail. Same behavior...over and over I did this until he figured it out...his relief was on the trail.... not at the barn. Was my horse for 17 years... miss him all the time.

thank you for making this video

4:25 BALANCE is so huge with this. I have been researching and practicing excessively the last couple of months to figure out how to do it. I knew the aids, I knew the theory, I knew it all but whenever I executed it, it never seemed to work. Until one day, a new trainer told me to sit the fk up straight, and the second I did, the horse went on the bit. The second I got crooked again, the horse lost his posture. I tried this with all horses that I'm riding, and this one thing, just sitting the fk up straight, solved my issues with ALL OF THEM. Now its not a mystery anymore. So please guys, if you're struggling, if your horse dosnt respond softly to your legs in particular, please check if youre actually sitting straight before going on to using spurs or anything like that. It really may be just that simple.

Great video - can't wait to see more of you and Lily!
