What do you do when you’re leading your horse to the field and he has a lot of energy?
It’s a situation I’m sure we can all identify with. And I received a question from a young lady about this particular topic.
She’d sent in a video where she was trying to lead her horse to the field and it turned out it looked more like he was leading her to the field. Of course she didn’t set out to do the wrong thing, but the way she went about it created alot of tension in the horse and caused him to take over the situation.
What was creating the main cause of insecurity between horse and human was that she was trying to manage the horse instead of showing the horse how to manage himself.
Something I see happening a lot and I totally get it. But there’s a different way you can approach this.
This is not only helpful for your own horses, but also if you have to put horses in and out of the field for others. For instance at a livery stable where the horses may be very fresh or not so well mannered.
How can you deal with this in a safe and productive way that also teaches the horses to improve their own self management?

So I set out and recorded a video to show people how and what I do to lead my horses eveywhere safely. And how to respond when your horse has a lot of energy and maybe wants to run over you.
I explain more about that in the video here:

When leading a fresh or unmannered horse, it might feel like they’re going to run over you in any moment.
And that might actually happen if your horse isn’t aware of where you are.
So it’s important that you first create awareness of where you are within the horse’s space. The first step therefore is to re-direct your horse’s attention on yourself.
The next step is to do the first groundwork pattern in order to get a bit more control and to bring your horse into a state of relaxation.
This is the preparation you need to lead your horse safely. I’ll show you what the preparation looks like in this video:

When you feel the preparation is in order, you can head out to the field.
Important is that you don’t forget everything you just taught your horse and fall back to your old patterns.
Remind your horse of where he is in the space and direct his focus towards you.
A good way to check the control and focus is to ask your horse to back up.
I explain everything and a lot more in the video below.
Sadly the wind picked up at the end so it might be a little intelligible, but we added subtitles!

Fleetwood, the horse in this video, already knows the groundwork exercises. Do you want to teach your horse the groundwork exercises as well? Make sure to check my TRT Training Program!
