Riding Lesson Exercises to get Steady Hands and Improve Balance in the Saddle
For most beginner horseback riders training your hands to only be in a specific place within the 10 inch. Box and a pull on the horses, mouth or nose with t. Reins is a hard thing. You have to develop muscle memory, This is why having something to hold your hands in place like using the tie strings from your saddle can help.
These are some beginning exercises to help with both your hands and your balance and develop the muscle memory that you need to be a better #rider

Transitioning between a trot and a Canter can be a difficult thing to do if your horse is not well balanced and if you do not have the correct Arc. the whole idea is that the inside shoulder which is going to be your leading shoulder is going to be at the correct angle so it's easier for the horse to pick up the lead. you have to have a strong leg and you have to be on the arc. we are using a c...

Nice! Woof!
It’s not easy 😅
Yes you are very nice for teaching the very important basics I learned everything from you thank you so much❤
I admire how you take the time to teach the basics to beginner riders❤
Can’t wait to see more.
Five years later..how are you doing? Watching from Lander Wyo..using a side pull on my Morgan colt..wanting some tips on placement on the face.
There you go😂❤
Very interesting. Some viewers may not be as experienced as you are, especially with Western style riding. It seems you are addressing very experienced people, but for those who are interested, could you maybe give a quick definition of terms when you first use them. I'm not even sure when one would prefer to use a bitless bridle versus one with a bit or double-bit. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your comment. Bitless Bridles all do not have a bit, they mainly work on nose pressure. Here's a playlist of bitless bridle types to help you ua-cam.com/play/PL1JF_PZLhWBgljXBlGV2Gu6FMVviZvRnO.html&si=MPYSBgfexpmFqsaC And most can be used English, western or other saddle types
How much time do you leave between each layer of oil 😅
Thank you for your comment. The times will vary depending on how dry your leather is, and how hot the weather is. If it is a warm day oil will absorb faster, it's not advised to oil your saddle when it's below 50°. I would say about an hour between layers is probably average. Some people soak for a few hours.
How to you slick up a boot for line dancing. Sometimes I dance at bars and they have very sticky floors. I prefer to have a very slick dance surface, not like walking on ice but pretty slick. I have tried a lor of different methods but none last very long.
That is a very good question. Now boots that have a solid leather sole will be slicker than anything made with rubber. But you have to continually oil your souls to keep them slick. And the oil will not last for that long because remember you're putting the boot in contact with the ground and that's going to absorb some of that oil. I would recommend oiling your boots every week with linseed oil and see how well that works. And I've also heard that a beeswax product works well as that like skidmore's
@@lonestarwoman Thank you
Thank you! You demonstrated and explained exactly what I needed. I've had trouble finding someone properly showing the way the shanks move in ALL directions and this helped me decide on what to try next with my horse.
I’m so GLAD I found your video! I’m starting a young horse and finally get the idea of the body position, no one explained it so clearly. I’ll try it tomorrow!!! ❤
Thank you for your comment. There is a lot involved in lunging and groundwork that people don't realize, and a lot of it is your body position. And lunging is a lot more complicated than people think, please check out my other legend videos for more ideas. ua-cam.com/play/PL1JF_PZLhWBi5sy0-4oDMureKVzywlKL3.html&si=QzhZAiRSvbViUIGQ
Very handsome ❤
Thank you. I feel in love quickly
That rider looks too heavy for that poor horse
Horses are strong she would never go on the horse if she would be to heavy for this horse she is very knowledgeable.
Your comment is uninformed. I am well below the average 20% of the body weight of the horse. Which is right around 1000 pounds. However breeds like the Bashkir, fiord, Icelandic and Gypsy Vanner are bred to have heavy bone and are capable of handling larger weight loads. Don't worry I wouldn't ever hurt a horse that was not capable of training. This Horse is a Unicorn. He's got the sweetest personality and is vet checked at sound. He's ready to go into light training
I've heard a lot of people say its like a bareback pad but with the security of a western saddle
Thank you for your comment. That's pretty accurate. The cantle and pummel are straight up and there isn't any padding. It takes a little to get used to, but if you have a balanced seat you can adapt. I found the Bob Marshall version of treeless much more comfortable than the cheaper Hillison.
You’re too awesome!😊
Very awesome as always ❤very nice instructions 👍🏻
The bump,bump seems gentle
I really love these because im a very green rider with a very green horse, I know posture and what to do because my mom used to ride so she helps. Im about to mount on my pony and I want to know what to do to help him learn as well ❤
Thank you for your comment. Green horses require as consistent a structure as possible. Both groundwork and saddle work. Here's a playlist of green horse exercises to help you out with training ideas. ua-cam.com/play/PL1JF_PZLhWBh70jPFAjYwb6-0X6ld4BFO.html&si=SqxOBZ0FLEKRyC5L Also check out my videos on training for respect and control. ua-cam.com/play/PL1JF_PZLhWBiS44qsw4EKbqcwphyrO1lU.html&si=Gute7fvuA7sckzLN Hope that helps

Beutiful horeses! Budweiser Claddales Horses
a true hackamore reinsman gets a bosal large enough so it can float and not touch the jaw until you want to turn or stop. Everything revolves around the principle of bend. Trying to neck rein will confuse him and he will turn like the old movie horses with his head going away from the direction you want to go. All signals from you go to the nose. That's where he gets his direction. At least you trying to use a semi fiador. Good job on that. Modern people have done away with a fiador and let the it bounce on the chin which must really irritate the horse. Just get on and ride througoh the trees using both hands and pretty soon he will know what you want to do. Remember bend to a stop just like Clinton.
Does he pick it up without a rider?
one of those gentle giants had to say to his 7 other friend we are in Dallas, Texas!
I whould get yelled out in English lessons because i couldn’t do a 2 point correct
This is the best advise I have found so thank you. I have a pony that is getting worse and is going to pull my arm out one of these days lol
Where are you located? I'd love to take a lesson with you!
Located in North West Fort Worth Texas. Where are you located?
The way he is blowing, looks like he got quite the "warm-up."
I like the cone idea! Thanks for sharing. I am going to try this for sure! Maybe it would be beneficial to work on his gas petal first? So you don’t have to wear yourself out by continually asking him to stay or keep the lope?
Thank you for your comment. I usually don't add pressure till I need it. So I usually only add a crop after they still are not getting the lead. This horse gets the left, but not the right. It is an ongoing process, some days are easier than others. Consistency is hard at times
What have they got in there, King Kong?
More like a TRex. Lol!
I prefer to have my horse come in to the middle with me once I’m done lunging, which my horse is very good at. However, anytime I attempt to change direction he wants to come in to the middle with me. So, I push him to the outside using the method you have shown here. However, I have encountered an issue with him not wanting to come to me once I’m finished because he thinks I’m going to push him back out again. I lower my head and shoulders, turn away, and tell him to slow down but he either keeps moving or stops and won’t come to me. How can I differentiate when I’m wanting him to move out/change directions and when I’m wanting him to stop?
Thank you for your comment. There is a lot more to lunging, than most people think. And that includes having the horse beat to stop on the lunch line and not turn until you ask them to. Here's a video on that. ua-cam.com/video/smeYvhFm7vM/v-deo.htmlsi=7PLFtLoMFpuOQmLL Also check out my other lunging videos for even more ideas. ua-cam.com/play/PL1JF_PZLhWBi5sy0-4oDMureKVzywlKL3.html&si=-_f1DLaiIguvnCx8
@@lonestarwoman thank you for the help!
You have a lovely voice!❤
Thank you so much.
I have a Puggy Mix they are so cute 😂❤
Pugs are such characters!!! Lol
How cute😂
What do I do with the outside leg.?
The outside leg gives the cue to the Canter, it is a strong squeeze of the inside of your outside calf. Not necessarily a kick with a heal.
Thanks👍🏻
You are the best I learned so much from you .thank you thank you thank you😅I work bit less with my horse I cantered for the first time last week Saturday on our weekly trail ride it was on a gravel road. My horse trotted and got faster and faster and then he went 😅awesome I love it ,but he did it on its own 😆. Now I can learn from you how to really go for a canter.
Great job!!! Way to go
I love it
love that you use hackamores!
PRECIOUS BABY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘 😍
And on the first jump she was like "wheee".😊And I love it.❤
i can't remember what tribe it was but there is a Native American tribe where the word for horses is 'giant dog'. lol, when i see things like this, i know why now. 😂
She listens so well and she is adorable!

I’m trying to put some meat on my senior Arabs bones and I knew I’d find some helpful tips here!!! He lost some teeth over the last couple years and started dropping weight like crazy. We had him floated and adjusted his feed and he put the weight back on nicely but his top line is….non existent 😮 gonna start the back ups today! This guy is my Old Man in his late 20s but he is still the most reliable horse we have! Hard to believe I got him as a freebie in a buy one get one free deal. The owners said he was green so they didn’t need him. That old man rides better than either of my crazy mares with professional training 😂❤
Thank you so much for your comment. Older horses really are gems and are worth their weight in gold. However an older horse will build muscle a lot slower, it's the same as asking a person in their 50s and 60s to get in shape again. You have to just go slow stretch a lot and they will gain muscle. Here's bones's playlist for some other ideas, ua-cam.com/play/PL1JF_PZLhWBj3PYPg-0laY6tp24N3wra3.html&si=LyBsGl7ezcWrzvjo
Can't hear the bells!
I’ve just washed and oiled a saddle for a client, it’s dried with a water mark across the front, I’ve never had this happen before and wondering if I should wet that part again or just leave it alone?
Good question. Sometimes a deep oiling can even out a stain better, but most of the time it is permanent. Here's an example of stained watermarks and how those can be delt with. ua-cam.com/video/mWRC3GO7zFE/v-deo.htmlsi=_7T1vfozUW6x2IFw
@@lonestarwoman thankyou, most appreciated. I think I’ll re wet and re oil and see how we go.
Due to something gray being over your video, I could not see where you were holding the end of the tape. Are you holding it to the end of the hoof the bottom of the hawk or what because when I measured my horse who is 40 inches tall when she was born a measurement said 11 1/2 inches there’s no way she’s only going to grow 4 1/2 inches in the next year or so she was born at 40 inches so I am thinking because I don’t just believe you, that I could not see where you were holding the end of your tape. Please clarify, as there is a gray bar over that photo and
Let me clarify a little bit. You will take a measuring tape in inches from the coronary band, which is the white line right as the hair starts to form above the hoof to the knee where you see a dimple in the knee. This Colt ended up being 17 one hands high. So the amount of inches correlates to the amount of hands the horses going to be. The reason why this works is that the bone from the hoof all the way to the knee never has any muscle on it and is the same length throughout the horse's life and will determine the height of the horse everything else grows that bone does not. That's why colts look like they have such long legs in the very beginning.
This was helpful thanks!!
Tell me what a saddle is worth from Court’s Saddlery Company if I send you pictures
Totally depends on the market in your area and the condition of the saddle. Courts went out of business, so not as many people know them So between $400 and $1000 used
Here are a few pictures
