Teaching Your Horse to Stand Still While You Get On

👍👍 The more "mature" I get, the more I appreciate a mounting block! 😄

I did the first two tricks, and they worked like a charm. Thank you.

I enjoyed your view on respect. Lot of truth there.

I can't tell you how much this helped me. My horse is 26. He stood in one session. 😆 We’ve been together since he was two. In my defense, I've worked a lot and didn't have a lot of time. I'm super happy and still can't believe it. I did the lead rope behind the saddle.

[nancywenlock]

Thank you so much for this video! And your comments at the end about the respect shown to every individual regardless of age at the ranch you visited in Montana: priceless. Thank you for that too!

Super awesome demonstration PAt, fabulous story at the end! Wouldn't the world look different if we all treated every living thing as an equal value! So wonderful!!

It's nice to learn a different method. Thank you.

I have taught my horses the pick me up off the fence method which works great for me. I am just over five foot tall and a trail rider. They know when I get up on something they are to move into position and STAND until I ask them to move off. Every so often they will try to take a step before I ask and they get a quick check. It's good to hear that there are still some families/people out there that teach respect for each other.

We had an OTTB who had raced for many years and of course had never been taught to stand still because jockeys are boosted up while theyre walking. What worked for us was simply: "if you want to move, fine move". So, having a halter under the bridle with a lead rope in your hand. As soon as you stand up in the stirrup and he walks off, you get down and have him circle around you 2 or 3 times. Then stand still again, on a loose rein. Repeat as necessary until he decides it's easier to stand still on a loose rein while you get on

Thanks Pat.
My horse moves a little when I'm getting on.
He is 6yrs and a bit forward and still a bit green. Thanks for your video.
RESPECT!

So good! My grandfather taught me this. Thank you Pat for sharing!!

Awesome I found a colt up in Idaho that looks just like Shoshone. Can’t wait to bring him to a clinic in a couple years. Well done

[albertkersey]

I always learn something from Pat that I can use. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge & experience. Also I really like that Shoshone & all the Baja horses. From central Arkansas.

Great info on how to stretch the horse to facilitate getting on. It’ll work great for my mother’s left bum knee. Getting on from a flatbed is another good way, I didn’t think of. Thank you to you, and your horse, for this video.

[rodyates]

When I was young really didn’t bother me if the horse took off when I mounted we were both ready to go. Years later I’d prefer he laid down for me to mount LOL.

[PaulBP]

Thank you for the great information. I really appreciate what you had to say about people respecting each other.

[hillbillylivestock]

I will work on this for a horse that wants to back, back, back when time to remount. Thank you .
