Helping an aggressive/ pushy horse

Helping an aggressive horse by setting boundaries, not bringing our boundaries to them. It is not about moving their feet but them not moving ours. Clarity and understanding will help these horses, not dominance.

Awesome! I've always used a spastic chicken dance when horses get pushy at grain time. You're the first trainer I've seen use a similar tactic. It's nice to know I'm not crazy... I only look it! 😂 Subscribed and off to watch more videos.

Beautifully explained and demonstrated. Thank you, Mr. Langley.

This was exactly the video I needed to see and have watched it several times already. And shared it with friends. You are awesome Mark!

Another way I have prevented a pushy horse from pushing is to suddenly start doing jumping jacks! It always surprises the heck out of them! They back off! Plus, it brings a smile to my face. I don't look at the horse as I'm "exercising". It makes me laugh, which is the opposite 0f being angry or

It is an interesting approach truly, the understanding of the human/horse body language is very interesting. The idea about the alpha dominance=/=respecting boundaries seems a little weird. As far as I understand, being an alpha means the respect of your boundaries, and that your actions are a priority, because you provide survival (safe shelter, food, cautious watch etc). The idea about being an alpha never was about dominance, especially in herd/prey animals like horses. In this principle following and subordinating to an alpha is simply a good idea, a practical choice for a horse. An alpha supposed to be always a friend to a horse, not a tyrant. But I suppose people make that mistake all the time.
I just think, both the approach "you just respect your boundaries" and "be an alpha horse to your horse" are the same idea called differently.
But anyway this is a very interesting channel, and I will watch your videos to learn about horses and people.

Can you help me I have a 5 year old Aqha and when I try to lounge her back her up or anything they swings her side into me and trying to run me over and push me over she’s a big horse so it’s hard to get her to move away from me

Please help me with my aggressive warmblood mare. She was well trained to do 3rd level dressage. I bought her about 6 months ago. She became aggressive on the ground by pinning her ears and trying to bite me especially at feeding time. Then I brought her to a dressage trainer. At first she was wonderful being ridden but then she started bucking when asked to canter. We brought her to a vet and found out she had kissing spine right where you sit on her. I brought her to Bryan, TX and Dr. Honnas did surgery to correct her spine. But her behavior on the ground is still aggressive . No trainer wants to deal with her. I’ve tried to work with her until she lunged at me trying to bite me during feeding time. Now I walk in her stall with a dressage whip down and wait for her ears to stop pinning before I feed her. It seems to be working. If you want to use her for a video, you are more than welcome to. She can be lightly ridden now. But I’m afraid to ride her. So I need help. If I could just get help with ground manners first that would be a big accomplishment. Thank you so much! Barbara Mckenzie
