hello and welcome to another video if you're new here my name is brandi and
today Dani is gonna steal my horse now if you know me my personal horse is I
usually don't let anybody ride him but today Dani is gonna get a little lesson
on my horse today is January 4th and I'm so excited
because it is our Christmas party in the barn today so my whole barn family is
here and even some of my girls are home from college so that's super exciting so
let's head into the arena let's see can anybody recognize this horse right here
what works is that oh and what horse is that and who is riding that horse hmm
and what horse is that one and who might be riding that horse
gunshots
so this right here is Carly she owns Diego she's home from school
and Carly used to own muffin years ago I've owned muffin now since 2008 or 2009
and after I got muffin Carly got Dee you go like keeled over good Cantor good
okay now think slow down don't pull on her yep no try turn around this is the
one opportunity to get to ride too much you get to ride my Barbies take
advantage of it okay turn and look over your left shoulder
good now your left leg will be open your right leg is gonna go on it on and kind
of like a bumping motion okay and tip for nose that way and go your hand comes
out right your hip don't let her walk forward your right
rein if she tries to walk forward that's what you're right rain is for no take a
hold of her good more like more like bender she's gotta be bent shorten up
that rein if you need to good job okay stop good better good
now back her up a step and then you're gonna tip her nose to her right and
you're gonna look over your right shoulder your hands gonna come right out
from your hip I think it was there a good job look look look you look show
look I think it was Kim's forces is her name on YouTube she was wanting to know
how to do this so good better so that's how I do it first step is to be able to
get your horse to look to the side second step is to just feel to pick up
the foot so Dani see if you can just tip her nose and just get one step to your
left like that exactly that is a very first step to the turnaround now back
her up a couple steps rock your weight back when you back good now she's
prepared to pick up she's gonna pick up her right front foot next so turn and
look shift the weight back she has a laid-back and
look and bring that foot over there you go good so that's how it is you just
have to make sure that they've got a little bend in them they're looking the
direction you want to go and you pick up that foot and drop it so Ken's horses
there's your answer and it's just you add a little bit at a time each day add
a little tiny bit more and stop where it's really good don't drill this I
can't tell you the last time somebody rode my horse
so now Katie's on the Kona and Danny's getting on there oh this is something
else that people want to know too is how to get your horse to step over to you on
the mounting block so right there Danny's kind of at a
disadvantage because bear is like no I'm gonna keep my butt over here and if we
had a flag or something that works out good but she's in a position now where
she has to just wait it out and as soon as he steps his bum over just a tiniest
little bit even if he tries she's gonna give him a release but pony's a lot of
times we're just kind of pulled around by kids so they'll just sit and tolerate
it instead of moving over so she's just gonna wait so don't get harder Danny
think of like push his head away from you a little bit so it's easier for him
to step his hip over just make it so it's just kind of so he thinks about
trying to find a different answer so I'm gonna help Danny a little bit now just
because we're having some problems I'm gonna give her just a little stick
just spill mighty everywhere so we're just gonna use this to give them a
little tickle I typically don't hold on to so here's something right here is I
typically don't hold on to the slobber so much as I'll hold on like up here so
kind of let that go so it's not so much cuz see how it gets a bit flipped up I
don't want I don't want it to be that bad right there so hold it like that
okay and now since he's comfortable would just hang in there honor which is
what we don't want she's just gonna give him a teeny tiny tickle on his right hip
good release all pressure goes away when he steps over they do it again little
teeny tiny tickle oh good release see that time she didn't even need to touch
him now do it again we're gonna make sure that he does it perfect push your
hand a little bit towards him a little bit
that way I'll help him get his hip over to the left don't even touch him there
good that was much much better so next time come in with a little less pressure
when you start out and that'll help the Kitty's gonna get there - I know right
it's so hard not to she's so much fun here so now before Danny gets on she's
gonna stand up at the top and he'll probably step away again and she'll work
at that so go ahead up to the top Dan good and
now pet him but a lot of times they'll just step away and and make sure he
stands after you get on to kitty now a lot of people are gonna say oh that
girl's way too big for that pony so yeah and in same here too I'm not gonna put
these girls on these ponies and send them down a 10-mile trail ride I'm not
gonna do that but Danny looks ridiculous on him cuz her legs are so long but she
is in a weight range that he can easily carry I can ride this Pony I don't spend
more than 15 minutes on him but I can ride him and
that's important because if we only put little tiny riders on these ponies and
they never got any good quality training what would that say about the ponies the
ponies would only have as good of training as little kids could offer
so in these ponies or not you can tell that ponies had fun he's not upset about
her being on at all same with bear he doesn't look very
bothered so this is important horse is typically carry about 20% of their
weight 20-25 percent of their weight is a good amount for a rider intact but
with ponies I mean you're looking at like 40 percent because they are so much
sturdier and they are able to carry weight a lot better the ability of the
rider makes a big difference a horse has a much easier time carrying a balanced
Rider but it's nice because Danny's gonna give
beer a really good little training session she's not doing anything hard
she's gonna be doing a lot of like leg yielding that kind of stuff important
things that maybe a little rider can't do so great
ponies always get a bad name but really it's just because of the people that
train them he's so cute good
pretty sure I'm raising a couple of monkeys yeah
