I have taught many horses and people. Back in the day most people had their beliefs of this and that. I truly believe a solid foundation on the ground with your horse or any horse you are about to ride. Even when I had a fully trained horse, ground work before the ride was a MUST to always check in to see how the horse was feeling that day as you never know what saber toothed butterfly may have scared them in the night and sent your horse into lame town .... Very Nice Video :) You have a very sweet presence and wonderful attitude. Keep up the good work as many find these videos very helpful! I have enjoyed it. Ty

Every single time I see less than 200 comments on your videos it pains me you deserve so much more but more will come

My neighbor is teaching me, a total noob. Showing up after hearing you out she thinks I know way more than I actually do. Just rode for the first time in 40 years... And felt great! The relationship building and body language material, I think, is amazing! The mention of patience and confidence matches up exactly with training over my life. No hurries here!
I find it a great pleasure to walk my dog and meet up with the horses out here. They sure do love treats and my glove brush. Can't leave home without it! Bless you for the wisdom and cuteness you deliver!

I really Love your videos from Vietnam.
Sadly, equestrian sports are not well known in Vietnam, but luckily, I have found a pony club right in Saigon so i'm gonna take a riding lesson when the Covid gets better.
Your videos are so helpful, I have learn a lot about horses from your videos.
Thank you for sharing your knowledges.

Hello!! So I'm getting my first horse ever soon next year and I am so excited!! This has helped a lot to know what to train first. Could you make a video for what you need for your first horse and what to do first and how to get to know them? Thankyou so much equine helper!

This is an amazing video! I'm looking after a 16"2 thoroughbred and this gives me so much insight on how to communicate my space and boundaries to him more effectively! it's so important to establish "my space" with these big bois XD

Can you do the quizzing a non-equestrian video? I love watching your videos they are very helpful for both myself and my horse. I got my horse cricket in January 2021 and he had zero ground manners because he was a race horse then a trail horse before we bought him and no one taught him any. He used to try to push me around and run me over and now he will follow me around the arena and move off my body movements! We are having a little trouble with the stop but it is much better then it used to be. Thank you for making these videos they are very helpful!

Hello! Ever since I found you, Doing videos like this, I am now addicted. I'll be going to the horse stables tomorrow! 💛

[juliefox]

This was incredibly helpful! I love that you demonstrated on a horse you weren’t familiar with! And thank you for explaining how long each session should be! That is some key info!

I have a yearling that I am just starting to work with. He's new to everything, about 90% halter broke. I've never trained a horse before, but I know I want to get started on groundwork to give him a really good start before even thinking of saddling him. He's a wacky, hyper teenager and I'm anxious myself, so I am having some trouble

I love the elbow and the hind leg advice. Working with rescue horses I have to always be on guard. Horses are all about pressure and release. Thank you for the video! 👍😊

You are funny.

Yes Tucker, you are funny. I have to admire the patience you show to Carmela, and all the nice tricks and respectful behavior you have taught her. She is coming along to be a very good YouTuber. You can be very proud of her. Give her a treat and a little scritchy scratch.
Very nice to have found your channel and subscribed. Do you have any other humans you are helping? 😄😃😄

Excellent video in all respects. Extremely informative and valuable as a learning tool.
