This seems so slow when you're doing it. But when I think about what this mare has to overcome... its amazing that she's still willing to try. - If I can earn another few strides every ride... that's actually incredibly fast progress. The rest is easy. - Being patient is the hardest part. Strangely, its this part of the process that I find the most fulfilling. It's not complicated... but it's a practice of self control and trust FOR ME... - If I'm going to ask this mare not to be reactive and lash out at me out of fear...then I have to be able to do the same. - #positivehorsemanship #problemhorse #trustiseverything #horsetraining #cowgirlcheck #kissingspine #reininghorse #themindfulcowgirl

Don't be afraid to be wrong. To not know the answers. Be afraid of ego getting in the way and not being open to new things. I know what people say about me...and that's okay...because right now, my heart is so full ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #clickertraininghorses #positivehorsemanship #openmindopenheart #problemhorse #horsetraining #cowgirlcheck #reininghorse #maresoftiktok #aqhaproud

E-BRAKE ➕️ ACCELERATOR = ⬆️ | This is the most common way I see horses start rearing... being pushed/kicked/spanked... when they already have the emergency brake on (front feet planted). It's very difficult to push a horse like this straight forward...at its worst, it's a recipe for disaster... at it's best, you have to apply more pressure than needed and create more anxiety in that sticky spot. Its easier (= less pressure) to take them to the side, which shifts their weight. Most often, they'll just walk off like they hadn't just been buffering and you can get back to it. If you have a reactive horse... do it almost immediately. Now this mare is to the point where I keep asking her for a while, then step to the side if she can't unstuck herself. Over time, I just see the issue fade away, because we haven't fed that anxiety by making it a big deal. . . . . . . . . . . . . #horsesoftiktok #horsetraining #reactivehorse #rearinghorse #problemhorse #misunderstoodhorse #reininghorse #cowgirlcheck #clickertraininghorses

I try not to skip these moments, be it random or not. At best, I found a new hole. At worst, I spent a few minutes easing a twinge 🤏 of anxiety, before asking anything of my horse. #worthit #slowisfast #horsetraining #cowgirlcheck #problemhorse #misunderstoodhorse #maresoftiktok #reininghorse

You have to be so careful anytime you "change the rules". She knows I'm wanting to lope. I'm giving her all the signals (on purpose). But now, walk -> trot -> extended trot -> lope is no longer the answer. I have to slowly show her the new way, without telling her that she's wrong for trying to trot. She also has the added ✨️bonus✨️ of trauma and some residual fear of that departure, which is why I've waited so long...and why I'm only fixing one thing at a time. I always prioritize this way: 1) helping ease fear/anxiety, 2) body position, 3) face (and so often I'll ignore this altogether because it's a manifestation of # 1... fix that and the face will fix itself). She's allowed to express herself. #horsetraining #problemhorse #misunderstoodhorse #clickertraininghorses . . . . . . . . . . . #horsesoftiktok #cowgirlcheck #reininghorse #rearinghorse

Ever seen a horse stop and back off just seat after only 3 rides? Because this little firecracker did. 9th ride in the books today! #reininghorse #wildhorse #mustangmakeover #coltstarting #horsetraining #horses

She cracks me up 🤣. We'll go back and put it "on cue" again, but for now I'm just going with her whenever possible. It's important not to tell them that they're wrong when using R+. Did I ask her to lope in these clips? No. But I don't take it away because I am using it to develop confidence in the skill. Then we'll go back to put in "on cue" (or only when I ask). If I want a different behavior, like trotting, then I just need to reinforce those actions instead. I don't "correct" her and take it away. 🥰 #horsetraining #positivereinforcement #clickertraininghorses #counterconditioning #systematicdesensitization #cowgirlcheck #problemhorse #misunderstoodhorse #reininghorse

Here to remove "respect" from our training vocabulary. Which I actually don't want to do, but the term has been so corrupted and twisted that it's not even used properly. Respect is a human construct but, regardless, it does not mean obedience. Aim for patience...& a bond built on you and your horse looking out for one another. #fuckrespect #horsetraining #positivehorsemanship #cowgirlshit #reininghorse #themindfulcowgirl

Chubs doing his same thing making it easy for me after three years off of competing for the both of us #shiningintown #stallion #reininghorse #reining #reiningstallion

Running circles on chubs is the best feeling. Even with his age he’s always honest and I trust hes going to slow down every time❤️ #shiningintown #stallion #reininghorse #reining #reiningstallion

Replying to @themindfulcowgirl Don't do too much. Get them consistent and confident in that next gear. The ask for more.

I don't expect Smoker to be a reiner that brings home the most trophies and buckles... but when it comes to winning hearts, Smokey will have little-to-no competition 🥰. He'll be a blast to show because he always gives me 300%🫠. After we "finish" his training as a reiner, we'll go have some fun, while exploring some things that may suit him a little better long-term (definitely something with cows 😉) #ilovemyhorse #reininghorse #projecthorse #cuttingbred #cowhorse #ropinghorse #cowgirlcheck #horsetraining

It's completely irrational how much I love this horse 😅🥰 #ilovemyhorse #geldingsoftiktok #reininghorse #cowgirlcheck #extendedtrot #positivehorsemanship

I'll never regret taking my time with this horse. He had/has the potential to be really dangerous...but ALL HE WANTS IS TO DO THE RIGHT THING. He's so kindhearted and just the goodest of boys 🥹. He's a blast to ride, and becoming the best horse. He'll probably never be beginner-friendly, but he'll certainly be reliable and safe for those who can speak to him ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #ilovemyhorse #horsetraining #reininghorse #cowgirlcheck #aqhaproud #geldingsoftiktok #bayhorse #positivehorsemanship
