  • Have Hope Again!

    I am so thankful that a trainer I was using recommended Mark to me. Now I get to attend his Florida clinic next week and am TRILLED!!! I’ve been trying for 6 years to help my traumatized Paso Fino and it felt like throwing spaghetti on the wall hoping something would stick! I have regained hope that it is possible to help him. He has come such a long way, but I was feeling sad that I was stuck in the 2 steps forward, 5 steps back dance. At my age, I have concerns I could get hurt! Cannot wait to... more

  • Something for everyone in this Gem of a podcast

    Thank you Mark and Jenny for your pearls of wisdom and advice through your podcasts! Each episode Mark and Jenny talk through member questions that at the heart of the matter (to me) are all about being able to have your horse with you (as in between the reins or there where you are and following a feel) and being able to interrupt their thought/ influence your horse by having them be ok with what you are asking of them in all manner of environments. I find Mark's advice very real life and helpf... more

  • Mark Langley has changed my approach to horse training fundamentally. Mark explains his training concepts very well and has a website and YouTube channel that provide further information. I have worked both my personal horses through the Challenge Series on Mark's website and they have responded beautifully. They have very dissimilar personalities and are at different stages in life/training. I highly recommend this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The reason some horses won’t lead into a trailer – and how to fix it
Q: Kath asks whether she should ignore the pullback or address it as an issue.
Mark stresses that pullbacks indicate a hole in the leading and must be tested under pressure, with a focus on varying speeds, interruptions, and the horse's response until the rope leads are soft and consistent.
Does your horse try to back out of the trailer prematurely?
Q: How can you help a horse not feel trapped in trailers or other confined spaces, especially when tied up or in small areas?
Build empowerment through the lead rope and pressure that the horse can predict and control, not fear. Start by stressing the halter lightly to create understanding without overwhelming the horse, then gradually expose it to tight spaces using graded exposure. Teach the horse that it can move in and out of small spaces, with the trainer moving in tandem and avoiding a one-way rope conversation. The goal is for the horse to think, decide, and move responsibly rather than panic or back away helplessly.
Does your horse try to back out of the trailer prematurely?
Q: What tips have Cathy and Leisha got? What's happening with horses that back out when loading, and how can they help their horses be more confident?
The advice centers on addressing pullbacks first—recognize that a halter or lead system that relies on pressure can cause a horse to feel trapped and prone to backing out. Focus on removing the trigger by desensitizing to the pullback, reinforcing soft leading, and progressively loading in the float while keeping the horse calm. Use graded exposure to tight spaces, combine with trust-building through controlled movement in front of the horse, and ensure the horse learns there is an option to move forward without fear. After stabilizing the pullback and leading, introduce breeching ropes and the chest-bar progression to normalize space and pressure, so loading becomes smoother and less fear-driven.
How Mastering Personal Space Can Reduce Nipping when being Led
Q: Can you explain how you get a horse to move away from you and create space without forcing it?
Use the flag and soft, measured cues to create a barrier; stop and step back when the horse yields, maintain a calm, low-energy presence, and build space gradually rather than pushing through friction.
Techniques that Build Trust: Helping a defensive Off the Track horse
Q: What is the best way to approach a defensive, head-throwing mare during groundwork to achieve a calm, soft horse?
Give the horse space and gradually build trust by working at a distance, setting clear boundaries with a flag, and leading at three meters to avoid pressure in the horse's sensitive area, then progressively reduce distance as the horse stays calm.
