In several videos I've talked about horses that need to be challenged. This is another one.

An amazing example: find something to say them a big "YES" instead of fighting and remaining on a "No, don't do this or that". Give them a job = focus for connection. Great job! <3

Thank you for mentioning giving him a reason to do a task!! My boy is the exact same way. So glad to see another gaited horse like mine.

I have a horse that kept his ears on me the first few times I rode him. Now he almost NEVER does so. I can see his eye focused outside side looking for another horse.

My horse's enthusiasm (or lack of) was much improved with using obstacles.She will be a great working equitation or trail horse.
I think Steel might be too, but what's his owner got planned for him?

Does the tarp work with 4 icedubs in all hooves?

Could you tell me what saddle you are riding in in this video?

Excuse my ignorance, but can I ask, are gaited horses born that way or is it something that they are trained to be able to do? Also can the trot in the more usual way too? Last question, I promise😬. What are the pros and cons of riding a gaited horse? As you can tell I don’t know anything about them except that many of the race trotting horses in the UK are gaited or what we would call “pacers”.
TIA
