This is a YouTube video titled "Cómo hacer tenderse al caballo" created on June 5, 2012, presenting a tutorial on training a horse to stand still using a technique called "tending." The video features two speakers, with one explaining the step-by-step process and the other responding with acknowledgments. The content is instructional and focused on horse training techniques.
Hello, welcome to Como. In the following video, we're going to teach you a technique to get your horse to stand still. This technique is called, at least I call it tending.
Okay.
It involves the horse stretching its arms forward and adopting an open stance. How do we achieve this? Always on its left side.
Okay.
Which is where we always have to prepare the horse and. And saddle up, put the saddle on, etc. We stand right next to it.
Okay.
And this will have to be done with a lot of patience.
Okay.
I've already trained this horse to do this, but it's about using our hand and a little bit of our foot to pull it towards us so that it moves its left hand forward a little. Then we push it towards us and we'll see how, with the help of our foot, it stretches its left hand out a little. And we keep repeating. If we do this, we can help it with a noise like this.
Okay?
We see that when the horse makes this noise, it moves its arms forward a little. Now, once this is done, we would give him a reward. In this case, this horse is already trained. What we want is for him to stay still without us being there. So what we are going to do is put the rope behind him here, in case he comes out a little forward, he doesn't step on it, and we order him to stay still.
Okay.
If the horse stays still in this position, we will give him a reward. Then he will recognize that he has done well. If he moves, we will try again. And like this, we separate ourselves all the time.
Okay.
And we see how the horse has maintained the position. So we give him a little bit of the reward. This can be very useful for us. Before getting on the horse, we do a little tendon and it will be easier for us to get on. The horse will understand that with this position, you have to stay still, and until we give him the order, he will not have to move.
Okay.
Well, I hope this video has been useful to you and that you continue watching our videos on how to do it. Thank you very much and see you next time.
