Breaking steering a horse down into 3 parts.
The first step was to steer them where they are already going. This makes it so they can't get the wrong answer and you're never in a pulling match with them. You can see the first step a couple of videos back on my page.
The second step is to steer them either left or right until they become "straight," meaning the bend of their body and the bend of their head are on the same arc.
The third step involves asking them to go the opposite of where they are heading. If you've taken your time with the first two steps, this final step should be easy as they are already responsive to the rein. This was all done at the walk, so when moving up to the trot you would go back to Step 1, 2, then 3. Same with the canter.

The second step is to steer them either left or right until they become "straight," meaning the bend of their body and the bend of their head are on the same arc. Once they become "straight" through the turn, you stop the ask and allow the horse to continue.
What this step also does is give you and your horse some down time between asks. We're not nagging or drilling them on this stuff, it's all very casual and relaxing for everyone. The horse walks away from this experience with only positive reviews.

The wind in Argentina
Exactly 12 months ago my friends Kansas Carradine, Dan James and Elliot Holtzman and I set out on the first day of The Gaucho Derby, a 500km adventure/survival race on horseback in Argentina.The winds down there are insane, and this video will show you exactly how insane. I’ve never had a horse’s ears blow sideways before…
Why attunement and connection?
I don’t do these things just for the sake of saying I am “attuned” or “connected” to my horses. I am actually doing it so the horses feel safe around us.
Think about what makes horses feel safe in a herd? It isn’t necessarily the physicality of the herd, it is the awareness of the herd.
For a prey animal, the sooner that danger is detected the better chance they have of surviving it.
So, when you are with your horse, being aware of their awareness is what I’ve found to be the foundational step in building trust and safety.
The way that I explain this is through posture and energy. I go through each of my 4 basic groundwork exercises and demonstrate in detail what my posture and energy is doing in each one.
The video library is not just another “prescription” like put this foot here and move this hand there, it is learning to become aware - aware of your horse and aware of yourself and being able to respond to any situation that comes up in a way that is best for you both.

Training horses is a lot like baking a cake. It is really easy to do when you have all of the ingredients!
This is like training horses, it is easy to do the more advanced things if you have all of the ingredients working!
Most of the people I help at clinics are struggling because they lack one of the basic ingredients and they are trying to make a cake. They wonder why their cake won’t work.
The playlist that I’m referring to in this video is the Basic Body Control Playlist. This is where you learn how to perfect the basics individually and in a specific order before adding them together for higher level movements.
By teaching a horse in this manner, you avoid the problem of opposing forces. Opposing forces is when you are trying to do something technical like riding forward into contact. If you don’t have each one working well separately they are not going to work well together.
The Basic Body Control playlist on our video library has over 70 videos teaching you step by step how to assemble the ingredients you need for anything you want to do with your horse.

Many people think that if you spend a lifetime with horses you’d have lots of injuries. But I believe that depends on your approach. In this video I talk a little about that .
Following my last video about not attempting to do anything the horse can’t do perfectly well while not tied up, same goes for having them be able to do anything while NOT being in a trailer. This follows a special, potentially 14th Principle Of Training called “Change One Thing At A Time”

“Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.”
― Friedrich von Schiller
I don't know if he was related to me, but I ceretainly agree with him on this subject.This video below shows Chance following me to the mounting block and sidepassing over to me, without being asked. It's not something I ever tried to teach, but each of those elements comes from parts of my basic process.
The big things are easy if the little things are great...
My golden rule for Tying Up, never do anything to a horse while tied up that they can’t do perfectly while NOT tied up. Tying up adds a lot of other factors that could cause your horse to pull back and potentially injure themselves (or you). ...@kimesranchjeans @weaverequine @100xequine .. #HorseTrainingTips #Horsemanship #EquineTraining #HorseTraining #HorsemanshipTips #TrainWithLove #HorseBehavior #EquineEducation #BuildingTrust #EquineWellness #EquineTrainingJourney #HorseLife #HorseTrainerLife #horses #warwickschiller #journeyon
