Please excuse my editing 😂… Rasmus wanted to show everyone what he’s been working on. The sending away exercise which consists of moving his hindquarters and shoulders away from pressure and my body language. This exercise is so helpful in so many ways from trailer loading, sending through water, tarps, bridges, gates, etc. The goal here is to look at me when I change my body language, do a turn on the forehand, then a turn on the haunches and move his shoulder away from light pressure, and send forward. Eventually this will become a dance for him, a movement. We start very slow working our way up increasing energy as we go. This little fella has been such a pleasure to work with! Ps…this is my first video I’ve edited so it’s just practice. I will continue making more videos, this is just the first! #horsemanship #horsemanshiptraining #horsetraining #fjords

This is Henry’s first ride free! No lunge line, just a lead rope. I have ground reinforcement to help him understand my body cues. Since he already knows the forward cues on the ground, I am applying the forward with my voice, seat, and a little leg.
This is Dexter, an 11 year old gelding who’s previously been through 2 trainers for his bucking. He sat in a pasture for a few years after, and since I started working with him he’s been doing phenomenal. He’s learning relaxation is way easier than being flustered and anxious.
Hey Australia, smile for the camera!! 🤣🥰
