And I've got some pony sized reflective leg wraps on their way for him too- I was hoping he'd get away with wearing Minnie's but he ended up wearing them as anklets xD

Is there a easy way to see where your fed horses are ranking at the moment?

Haha that's alright! I do have a cavesson that fits him actually so could give it a go. My poor mother will be getting her steps in to help me get him going haha

Oh that's another one actually- do any of you long-rein without a bit in, and if so what tack do you put on? Ted's got a year without a bit as I'll not know if his wolf teeth have fallen out until his next dentist check (and then he'll have them removed if they haven't) but I'd like to get him longreining before then to help his confidence

It ultimately is luck but using maps and capturing on capture day helps a lot. I am kind of a capture addict lol if you just keep going you will lose a lot of money but eventually you might get something good lol

I can pm you some book and video recommendations! Have done a lot of clicker training and really recommend it. It is so motivating and fun for them (and us hehe)

I'll definitely give it a look Red- do you have any you'd reccommend? I really want to get him started with as nice an experience as possible so everything helps!

Min if you are open to it you should look up some demos for how clicker trainers teach good manners. He could definitely figure out expectations around food. It’s like if you’re bad at math you need to practice math problems. If he’s bad with food around you need to practice with him and food

How are you guys capturing W's in the wild?

Thankfully Ted figured out FAST that I was a provider of food. It's unfortunate that we've had to annex treats because that would get him doing pretty much anything, but unfortunately he bites like a bastard when theres even the hint of them being around. He'll be a cracking horse when he's all grown up though- even as a gangly baby he's eyecatching

Oh thats so good! My guy isnt quite "lob a blanket on" level yet but its so rewarding watching how confident they can become
Minerva
01:45:19 Min
Absolutely haha. I'm really proud of him though- he arrived at the end of May vaguely leadable but pretty much feral and had to live in the field shelter for a week. Now he's out in the field with no headcollar 24/7 and I can lob a rug onto him while he's loose without him lifting his head

I have 3 horses my self, and one younger girls boards her 18 year old Arab there. She rides once a week or so and allows me to ride him as well. He lost a ton of top line over the winter, and is overall pretty green. His owner also needs quite a bit of help with her seat. Anybody have any good horse and/or rider exercises? Bonus points if they can be done in or include a round pen!

I would recommend lunging- may need to be done on a line for control reasons. Lots of trot work without someone on his back will help. He shouldn't just be moving around under saddle.
Also, walking/backing up and down hills to engage his hind end, and trotting poles/raised poles/cavalettis can help with that as well.
.
These were all things we were advised to do with Zippy, and they've definitely helped- though his topline was in pretty good shape to begin with. I'm not as certain about rider seat, unless you have a specific example of what she's struggling with?

Trail ride! Go on different terrains, up and down hills, across streams, etc etc. Nothing better for developing topline and seat

For the rider: trot/canter with no stirrups on the lunge.

I used the have a... questionable seat 😅
what my trainer always did was put me on bareback and we walked over poles, and worked up to trot, that can help a lot and it helped me a ton. If the horse is not comfortable barwback then try the exercise with a saddle but stirrupless

Neck and leg stretches for the horse, balance exercises (without or without an excercise ball) and/or yoga for the rider. Or make her ride blindfolded so she's more focused on how she's sitting/moving with the horse. And I mean supervised riding in a controlled environment XD

I would definitely recommend stirupless and/or bareback work along with balancing exercises on a lunge like having her sit tall and hold her arms out straight and into a circle motion. Another good thing is to have her lean back and picture the seat as if she's glued to it and being held down.

Riding without stirrups trotting and cantering on and off the lunge would help a lot. The first time I cantered without stirrups was off the lunge on a spicy horse lol.
