lots going on I'll see if I can catch up
with at least one thing today to show
you what's happening this was set up for

that's about it lost my dog oh there he
is following along nicely
okay we're gonna get on with the day see
you guys shortly Shirley for for you
know I don't know if you guys can see it
but man the Cottonwood is flying around
like nobody's business like snow but not
snow okay
halfway through the day burned through a
couple appointments got a couple more
coming up lessons trimmings stuff like
that I want to talk clothes soon
I really really do but I thought I mean
I have a pile of little subjects to go
through but somebody to ask me what to
do about a horse that throws their head
and
my simple answer was if you want them to
stop throwing their head you'll have to
give them release horses throw their
head around because you're you're a
little tight on them holding the meanest
stuff now most the horses here don't do
that
I'd burn that out of them a long time
ago just kidding what I do is I just
make sure to let them know that I'll
I'll give them the release they're
looking for but it has to be done in a
proper way the proper buy I mean that
when I'm asking for something and they
go to throw their head it probably means
I didn't release in good enough time
because you sort of have to build up
look here tada Nina's little halter
holder I've got a lot of halters lying
around and I never had a proper hanger
for them and so I'm gonna demonstrate
what I mean here with baby cuz baby
throws her head look here this might
even do it come a different direction
okay well she tends to kind of throw her
head around a little if you hug her and
that's just a lack of release from this
distance but it's all the same so I got
to figure out where to put you guys for
this demo okay you guys are on the fence
get organized for a halt ringer now I'm
I've kind of worked it out with her but
I believe I can induce it show you what
I mean and how to reduce it
okay I only need her with me for now to
demonstrate how to make this happen so
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put too
much pressure on her and I'm not gonna
release her from my pressure when she
expects me to or when she has the
ability up until the point is she has
the ability to handle it right you ready
okay
I hope that showed up I think it did so
right at the end right at the end she
threw her head okay now I can continue
to make this worse
she's already throwing her head
okay so she threw her head again and I
stopped I gave up well a visitor two
minutes okay we're back so so what
happens here if I put my hand on her
nose and I get out before she throws her
head I could fix the problem which is
why it took five or six steps to make it
worse so try again I'm going to induce
the head sling and make the problem
worse so if I leave her alone at that
point which I have to anyways
then I'll teacher that head slinging is
the answer and then shall be more head
shot well do one more time just for
demonstration
okay so it's really bad my my books it's
really bad now so now I have to fix it
so we fix this by observing when the
horse is stressing out and they need
release so I'm going to do this in small
little steps
that takes time to do come on
so if we keep at this for a little bit
I know
and more
what up come on
this way
now the way nose head slinging
give her a second to think
every exercise that you want to do with
a horse you have to set it up good from
the start so I want her straight so I'll
push our nose over just a little to
where she's straight
that's a very big change because she set
her head up for me to be able to put the
most pressure on her backwards instead
of having her nose hi
I went too far and I knew it
try again
and push them
I'm gonna leave it at that because
that's pretty pretty good so there's a
way to make it happen and the way to not
make it happen and to help it is to get
out while the getting's good
and to to essentially observe when the
horse is not putting up with the
pressure that you're giving so even if
you have a goal that say your starting
point here and your goal is here you
might just have to do a little tiny in
increments to get to here but this is
too much if they're throwing their head
you can't get here you have to go maybe
in the middle and if that's too much to
go here but you can build on each tiny
little increment that you that you do
and so finally one more time
most
Hey
did you just get something soft and
quiet so that ends that there hopefully
it helps thanks for watching see you
guys again soon
