How to set the foundation to teach your horse to rear, featuring the Kokoro Liberty Team from Hippie Horsemanship.
I’m using a building blocks technique to ensure my horses are confident throughout the process and learn some handy skills along the way.
I always encourage my horses to rear as a forward movement, so that they never get confused when backing up.
Please see warnings during the video and take note 🙂
Just a mention – I do say oldest horse twice. I meant it, but in two different ways. One is the oldest in age, the other I’ve had the longest 😊
Have fun, and love your horses ♡

Hi there, wow this is a late comment! I just have a few questions. How did you ask for the “independent” legs? Did you use voice or the touch the whip to their leg or…? Also how do you transfer that to the both legs at same time? I was a bit confused when you asked for the rear because it was quite different from asking for the single leg. Like I wish I could hear the video 🤣
