Real-Life Training with a Green Horse | Tips for Taking Young Horses Out
In this video, I’m riding my 4-year-old mare Lily, who’s still very green under saddle. Join us as we face a real-world training challenge: riding in a new environment with traffic, bikes, and all sorts of distractions just outside the arena.
I’ll walk you through my top tips for taking a young or green horse off property, including:
✅ How to manage spooking in young horses
✅ Why it's important to leave your expectations at home
✅ The value of loose rein riding and one rein stops
✅ How to help your horse stay mentally relaxed under pressure
✅ The importance of consolidating groundwork and training at home first
Whether you're prepping for your first outing, working through spookiness, or just want to see how I handle real-life training moments, this is for you. Lilly doesn't always get it right — and that's exactly the point. This is what real, honest young horse training looks like.
🐎 Training isn’t always about perfection — it’s about helping your horse learn how to think through pressure, stay connected to you, and build confidence in unfamiliar situations.
