In this video, the PonyPros tell you how to teach your horse to go over a jump at liberty. This is also called free-jumping or free-longeing. 12-year-old, Ka…
Hello, I know this has nothing to do with this video (kind of) but could
you please give me some tips to lung my horse. He is a 13 year old Quarter
horse. He isn’t afraid of the whip but as soon as I clip the lung rope on
him, he won’t walk (or anything else) but back up. I have before gotten a
friend to help me, her stand in the middle with the whip and we would
slowly get my horse to move but after a few circles he would stop and back
up once again. If you have any tips, please help 🙂 Thanks
Thanks for t his vid! I am thinking about trying it with my 6 year old
pony, but the only problem is, I don’t want to give her food treats, and I
don’t use a clicker. Can I achieve the same thing without either of those
if i use vocal commands and another kind of reward?
hey! umm i was wondering you know how you have that voice thing without you
talking? could you tell me how to do that? the vid is awesome it totally
worked!
Hello there 🙂 When I ask my shetland to do a jump, he runs over it like
crazy. I don’t ask him to! I want him to go over slow and safe, like the
horse in your video does. But he starts gallopping like crazy :-S What can
I do?
@Ilovershorses Glad you liked our vid! We have a couple other free-jumping
vids. This one is the most basic and then we have one with horses named
Shelby, Ivie, and Marley. Most of them are on this account but some are on
my welcometopemberley account. Have fun!
Can you help me ? I am 13 and recently got my 1st horse, a 14.2 hand QH (
you can google ‘Dees super scout ‘ to see him;) and he is a bit of a
nervous horse because he has been moved around, I want to teach him to jump
while on the lunge line and use a clicker , any suggestions? And how can I
calm him down some?
great video 🙂 so i hav a 12 year pinto quarter horse lesson horse. he is
good over poles and i trot and canter him oer them. but i rlly want him to
jump. im gonna try this on saturday. wish me luck 🙂
@ThePigeon08 The voice over explains everything. You can also watch our
other vids for more info – Free Jumping Marley, Free Jumping Ivie, and
Round Penning Thistle.
To teach him to longe, start by walking next to his neck holding a small
whip like a crop or dressage whip. Tap him on the back while using the
halter to ask him to walk forward. He will probably try to back up. As soon
as he walks forward, stop tapping and allow him to walk. If he stops, lift
the whip and ask him forward on the halter. If he tries to back, begin
tapping. It helps to do it somewhere where there is something behind him so
that he can’t back up very far.
@ThePonyPros After he learns how to target your hand, he will learn what
the click means. So next, send him over a very small jump on the longe and
click as he is going over it. He probably won’t catch on as quickly as
that, so shake your treat bag to get his attention. After he will stop as
soon as he hears the click, then you can make the jump bigger. For the
nervousness, try Googling endotapping. Plus do lots of desensitization
exercises.
@professionaljumper01 I’m really glad it worked for you! I turned off the
volume on the vid and then used a mic to voice over. I used a mic from Rock
Band – it has USB so totally works lol
Great job! The horse is very beautiful! How do you make him/her to come to
you like that? Wonderfull job! Thanks for sharing! 🙂 How old is it? How
tall is it?
@roundinbarrels He’s super cute and looks like he will be a good jumper.
You can use the same principles found in this vid and in our other vids…
Just listen to the voice overs… First you need to teach him what a click
means. Don’t bother with a hand-held clicker, just pop your tongue on the
roof of your mouth. Hold some grain or a cookie in your hand. Have him
touch his nose to it. Click when the touches it, then open your hand and
deliver the treat.
@MillyEquestrianXx After you lead him, teach him to jump on a longeline.
Start with just a small pole and raise is slowly after each success. After
he does a good jump, bring him in and give him a treat. After he can jump
on the longeline, teach him “join up” or “hook on” in a round pen. Then
free jump him in a smaller space like a round pen, starting with just a
small jump and making it bigger after he gets the hang of each size. I have
other freejumping vids with Ivie, Marley, and Shelby.
@MissRainRider Try watching my videos, “How to Teach Your Horse to Jump
Calmly Without Rushing”, “How to Teach Your Horse to Free-Jump”, and
“Shelby Free Jumping”. If he isn’y good at liberty yet, try watching “Teach
Your Pony to Follow You At Liberty” first. For riding, watch “Teach Your
Pony to Trot Slowly Over Jumps” and “Part 2 – Using Snaking/Weaving to Slow
a Horse Down”.
@MillyEquestrianXx If you are longeing right it should never be dangerous.
Start at a walk and teach the horse to move away from you on a regular lead
rope. Search for the CIES video “how to longe a horse to prepare for
riding”. Gradually move up to a trot on a longer rope.
ThePonyPros
@Kiah2211 Yes, just start with low jumps and build up gradually

@horseluver4899 Good luck!

Then, eventually make your rope longer and longer and switch to a longe
whip.

@CrystalSparks007 Yes, watch our Free Jumping Marley video or Free Jumping
Ivie video.
