Don't miss anything so let's get going so i decided today do a little bit different thing with the horses
We did some free schooling, free lunging, through a
Jump chute at the barn and it was so much fun to see the horses go. To see, how
They've jumped over top of the fences and just to figure things out a little bit too, now i've done this before
A bit and i've seen
People and they just kind of chased the horses around and around and around and the horses get stressed out so what
We did here today, is that we had a bucket with
Some grain in it at the end of the jump chute so that when the horses went through they
Would stop and get a reward each time they, went through. This is really easy to do the horses weren't
Had never done this before. At least I didn't think that the horses had done this before. So what
We did was was first of all, made the chute with
Some jump standards and some caution tape really easy. Easy to do all you need is 1 some caution tape
Jump standards and some polls to make your jumps jump so, we put the jump standards along and made a
Chute with, them very simple very easy
Not very technical at all and just wrap the caution tape the tape that you can get at the dollar store
with
Around the jump standard so that the horses couldn't be veer in between the jumps. It was that easy. So first time through
We got someone just to leave the horses through to the end and then at the end let
Them have a bite of grain. Then picked him, back up walked him around and led, them through
Again at the walk over poles on the ground, let, them have, another bite of grain then the third, time through
We jogged them through in hand over the poles on the ground
And then after that they got the idea that they were supposed to go through
And what they did go through at the end they, would stop be able to stop and get a
Mouthful of grains. Each time they went through the got a reward it was that easy so then, we put the jumps up!
We had was, we had a?
Placing pole 9 feet cross rail and then approximately
33 feet for two stride to another vertical this, was the first time through for these horses so we didn't
Want to make it too difficult so
we put the first horse, through 9
Foot rail cross rail and then again 2 strides to a little vertical no problems then the next time through i told the
Person, who
was leading the horse to the end of the chute, to the beginning of the chute,
To, let go and she let, go but she didn't take the lead shank off so take a look
And see what that happened there so
But the worst was fine she went through it and that was great
What i really liked about this, is that the horse, was so easy and really
Didn't get too excited about anything and you could see here that the horse really just planted
His front feet. Hit the nice the
Got a really good approach to the jump rail
Did it stride into the first jump and then two easy strides to the second
Jump really, and then stopped, her bit of green the other horses that went through, we have this next horse
Going through, and it first time through beautiful jumped the rails first time through let
Them through the walk second time through at the trot in hand each time
Allowing them to take a mouthful of grain. So easy to do. It just relieves a lot
Of stress with the horse if they understand you know, what they're gonna go through then
They get to stop and get a reward so they understand that they can go through and then they get to stop. Otherwise
You're just chasing them with the whip and it just causes more stress than anything else if you don't have
Them stop. I really think that free schooling these horses, and free jumping, them, through a
Chute like this it just allows the horse to figure out, where they're, gonna put their feet but, we did have a few
Fails and here are the fails with, the jumps and they just kind of oh, oh my gosh
They, didn't work out, oh my, gosh
this pony
He jumped the nine foot rail with the vertical and it wasn't good so
Take a look, at. These fails i
Think, they're kind of funny yikes

If you, want to if you, want to improve your riding position
Take a look, at these videos right here
They're, really good. I think that free schooling
Your horse really allows the horse to figure out what they can, do with their body without being interfered with, from a rider
They can round their back more, stretch more with their head and neck, without being interfered with with the rider. Don't forget to subscribe
