Teaching a horse to bridle with their head down

Sometimes we get in the habit of doing what is fast and what works, here the trainer shows how spending a few minutes of time can really make a big difference between the horse throwing it's head up in the hair and lowering it nicely for you to accept the bit. Enjoy!

Teaching Lateral Flexion

Last week many of you may have seen me working with Spirit and Charlie, some of what I did was work on their lateral flexion. Here is a great video about teaching lateral flexion, BUT with only a single strand of hair instead of the rope!

This trainer is from where I lived in California and he is a great natural horsemanship instructor and I have learned a lot from his videos.

Enjoy!
