You really did a lovely job with Simon! The only thing I would do if I were you is to get training tips from trainers who participate in the Mustang Makeover challenges. Considering what you are doing, it would be in your best interest and the best interest of the horses you train to get them trained as quickly as possible without sacrificing any of the quality. You can learn from them how to fast track your training program! They have to have their completely wild untouched mounts in a saddle the first day. And you would be just as delighted with the end results. Ive seen them, they are great horses!
@@originalbadguy9520 I'm honestly not in a rush and there is really no need to fast track results with horses who have a history of abuse and are terrified. I'm perfectly happy with the time this took and personally don't think it is really in any horse's best interest to go from unhandled and terrified to broke in 30 days or less unless they need to be. He is young and had a rough start, speed will sacrifice the quality if there is pressure to meet a deadline. There is no way he could have been saddled the first day without being flooded and overwhelmed, it would just be unnecessary.
@@Milestone-Equestrian What an awesome job you've done. It's obvious that Simon trusts you and that's because of how you have chosen to handle him so keep doing it your way! I am no longer physically able to ride and am envious! Keep up the awesome work!
@@Milestone-Equestrian Some of the best horse trainers (horse whisperers) in the world do it that way! lol, I think it is really funny that you think so much of yourself and YOUR training experience that you would question THEIR knowledge! In so far as doing anything harmful to the horse! (ESPECIALLY when they have about THIRTY YEARS on you of training time!) Also, it is also ridiculous to say, yeah, I dont mind doing something in 10 days that I could easily do in 5. Maybe THAT isnt good for the horse! Maybe if he could talk, he would say, "What do you mean you dont mind taking 10 days! NO THANKS! I prefer to do it in 5!" LMAO (also, you ARE coming along nicely as a trainer! This is evidenced by your very typical attitude of being on the defense *passive/aggressively* if anyone has any advice!)
@@originalbadguy9520 Actually, most animals prefer to go at the pace that they personally need. There is no need to rush a horse who is terrified. That isn't thinking highly of myself. If you were actually a horse person, you would be well aware of the damage pushing a horse too fast can do. Moving slower hurts no one so I'm not really sure why you're feeling the need to condescend me for that but alas, you will not change my opinion on taking time with the horses who need it. They may have more years of training on me, but that doesn't change the fact that flooding a wild animal by rushing to put a saddle on them in their first day being handled would be stressful. I do not do 30 day challenges or cowboy challenges for a reason, I think it is too fast. If there were a way I could do it without causing unnecessary stress, I would, but there is absolutely 0 need to stress traumatized animals further by rushing their training. I train sporthorses and handle a lot of previously abused horses, my ambitions are a lot different than the average person doing the 30 day makeover challenges. I produce well minded and safe horses and stand by that. I'm not going to flood this pony by rushing him and produce what could potentially be a ticking time bomb stress case for a kid to get on. And no, if he could talk he wouldn't say that because having us in the stall with him that first day was panic inducing even when we were far away. There is absolutely no way horse like that would want to be saddled the first day or days later, the only thing that would have achieved for us is a completely fried horse who wants nothing to do with people.
I love your mom's reaction to getting on Simon. It's obvious that she cares fot your horses as much as you do. 😀 She is a great addition to your videos
For*
@@stevejefferson635 seriously did you need to do that
I wish my mom was like that, whenever I go riding and do something new (like jumping for the first time) it seems like she could care less, but her mom is amazing!
smart horses love to learn! He gets what's expected
Aww I know! What a nice reaction. Poor guy came a long way.
Amazing transformation! You did such a great job saving him and training him!
Hello Nicole
Hi Nicole I would love to see more videos of you riding miss seeing your ponies ( I know they’re not actually ponies)
Hey Nicole! I wish u would have more videos of the horses and just fun times with them!
NICOLE SKYES it is you!!!!
Hi I did not think you would comment on this video
I love how enthusiastic your mom is about everything horses
wow!only six months for that big a a transformation? I rescued an abused horse a while back and it has taken me three years to get her to a point where I can ride and work more on myself than on her. You are a miracle worker!
I thought so too, that's really no time at all considering what state he was in!
I swear ponies are so good at overcoming things. They seem to turn around a lot faster than horses. My pony is completely different from when I got him, showed 4 months after nearly killing me 😂lady before him let him get away with near murder
Those 40 dislikes are from people that work at slaughter houses
😂😂😂
Mrs Seavey 🤣🤣🤣
Or trolls
In other words....THEY DON’T HAVE HEARTS OR EMOTIONS
Just seeking Truth,
it’s not funny it’s emotionless
and rude
What he said is true
An excellent result! Many years ago I rescued a Welsh type pony from the local pound, the only other bidder was the dogger (abattoir worker). She was skinny, had a matted and felted coat and bit anybody or anything that came near her. The ground work put in with her was similar to what you have done with Simon, only Possum was too small for my weight so I had a local lad back her. No fuss whatever. She turned out to be around four years old and a very pretty dapple grey. She was sold to a show family as 'green broke'. Within a couple of months Possum was showing up on photographs from local shows with her lovely boy rider. She was a very good all rounder. Happy endings :)
Lynda Painter so awesome!!!!!
Good job!
I want to tell you guys thanks for your care, compassion and love you showed to Simon. ( in this video).
I sometimes think I care for animals more than people.
I know I do. Not think I do
Its so nice to See your Mom still in Love With Simon....😍😍
The clip where Simon lays Dow in the snow is too cute 😂😍 it’s like he’s thinking “yeah soft... oh no too cold” and than he stands up again
Your mom is the real national treasure
I see a lot of people are sad that Shelby will eventually have to sell Simon, and although I’d love to see her and her mom ride him forever just the thought of him going to a family with a little girl (or girls!) to spoil him and love him and give him endless attention makes it all so worth it!☺️💕
Ps. He’ll be a superstar at shows for sure!! Definitely see him as a cute lil hunter!
Plus the reality is if they keep the horses they rescue then they won't be able to rescue more. You can only keep so many horses.
You should be so proud of yourself. This is honestly touching. When you first got him I admit I wasn't picturing him coming out nearly as well as he did. I expected a much more shy guy, but he's amazing. Truly phenomenal work.
Simon won the Lottery for real💕You’re great Shelby!
12:35 ummm wow! Especially compared to the first clip! I think you don't give yourself enough credit 👍🏻
I have 2 rescues and one of them is a pony and he had the same temper as Simon when u started him bit with work, he's getting there now and the other is the most amazing horse I could EVER ask for.
Lucky...I have lessons once a week
So wonderful you have them!!❤
His smile after taking a treat made my day
Is no one gonna talk about how absolutely gorgeous he is???
He is a very gorgeous boy. Any horse that is rescued from the kill pen have a tendency to be very good horses, i don't agree with the slaughter auctions. If your horse needs the last act of kindness and their quality of life is compromised then let them go.
Simon is one smart and handsome little fella. I’m so glad you rescued him and he’s living a good life now. Good for you!! 💙
Aw he’s gonna make a kid so so happy one day.
You are a patient angel, and I feel Simon eventually realized this as well. Thank you for your determination, and thank Simon for me for his bravery.
What a little kindness can do for an animal that had no reason to ever trust a human being. Very touching.
What a beautiful change you've done. Hard work can go a long way for such a beautiful pony. Starting off scared and aggressive to just the sweetest pony I've ever seen. Kindness can go such a long way if you just try and don't give up on them.
I love how much you care for your horses, first of all. Second, you obviously have a way with horses because every video of yours I see you are patient, kind, and amazing with all of the horses that you cross paths with. I love watching you work with horses and I hope I can be half as talented as you someday.
What a lovely transformation. I don't understand why anyone would thumbs down this video. You did a fine job with this pony and thank goodness you saved his life in the process. You're a great horsewoman. Can't wait to see more from Simon in the future!
Some people just hate everything Shelby stands for-primarily, respect for horses and their natural wants and desires. Rather than change their own ways, they shame her to make it seem like she’s in the wrong and make themselves feel better for how they treat their horses.
Simon is soo happy and I think he will always love you for what you did to him..💓
Look at Simon. I don't know much about horses, I know I love them but, you have done a magnificent work with him. What a beauty. I'm fixin to watch his next video. I know he's happy that you got him, I know I am.
That was great we the dog was next to him! He didn’t spook. He’s so lucky to have you!
It just shows how much a bid can change a ponies life! Good work on simon💞
Aw your mums reaction to her riding Simon for the first time oh my heart its so adorable, Simon has come so far be proud :)
Both of my rescues are the greatest things to have ever happened to me. Thank you for championing for rescued horses
I cried watching this. I have transformed horses that were throw away horses. I retrained them and they were bought by loving riders/owners. My life goal will be to have a horse rescue full time...it was what I was created to do. Thank you and God bless you 💗
I am so glad that you safed this super cute boy he looks so much better at the end I am glad there are still people who do this
I can't stop seeing a heart shape on his head ❤ this is just a work of love and patience, time and healing.
Ty so much
Beautiful job with Simon. I think if he could talk he would say, “Thank you Shelby, I love you too!”
She is a very pretty little girl. So happy you were able to rescue her
Your mom crying is the most beautiful part of this video. I too would be a proud sloppy mess looking at how far this pony has come. I can no longer ride and must live my horse interactions through others, like you. Thank you for sharing your life. What about the other horse?
Simon has the prettiest face with those markings, he seems like a very smart boy and very willing.
What a great job you've done with SImon. He's so pretty and willing to work!
I love how your mom is so excited about Simon
Six months of amazing training and love have paid off, he has become such an amazing little pony!!
He is. A pretty pony. Now I know how I looked on our pony of that size. I am 5’3” and also light. Congratulations on making him happy and well behaved.
He's come so far & he's a cute pony! You done a terrific job. Thank you for rescuing him.
Congratulations! Your work with gaining Simon's trust and teaching him was completely AWESOME!
Wow what fantastic work withSimon so happy he has had a positive experience with people as they cannot speak we never know what they have endured at the hands of people that they become so great full well done the care and love and kindness works for us all including animals ❤
Hansom boy, and smart. You did amazing work with him. Simon is so trusting and proud wow 🌴🤠
WOW IM IN LOVE WITHTHIS LITTLE GUY IM SO HAPPY YOU SAVED HIS LIFE THANK YOU
your giving Simon a great home , I’m so glad you were able to save him from slaughter💕
Well done with him! From what you have shown us, kids will be incredibly happy to have him in the future. But in the meanwhile, be sure to enjoy every bit of the process :-)
Well done and thank you for all you do for rescue horses and to show the world how amazing they can be!
I can’t believe someone would want to throw away such beautiful ponies. Thank you Shelby for being patient with them and changing their lives for the better!
Simon is beautiful ,and you did a great job with him. When I was 10 I had a pony who looked so similar.🐎❤️ Thank you for sharing!
WHOEVER DISLIKES THIS VIDEO I HATE YOU!!!
I love what you guys did for Simon 🥰 so sweet
You did a great job training him, and it’s really awesome that you rescued him
Such a wonderful story. Simon is such a handsome horse. Thank you for being patient with him. God bless.
So glad you bought Simon. You saved his life! He's so sweet. So smart. He is beautiful. You are the best thing that happened to him . Thank you so much!
Honestly you are so nice for saving their lives! Simon is a completely different horse thanks to you, you are so thankful to have him and have gotten to work with him.❤️ good job, I hope you consider it again later!
I remember when you first got him and he was so scared I can’t believe he’s so confident now
You have done an extremely good job on Simon, keeping it simple and allowing him to learn steadily. Well done!
You have done the most wonderful job with your pony Simon, I love him he is a very cute little fellow. Also SIMON is my brothers’ name. He truly is going to make a great little show pony, with his super markings he really will stand out.
Simon is a cracking little pony. I also adore your mum's love for Simon.
I have a similar gelding who was aggressive when I got him from the feedlot. Now, almost 4 years later, I trust him to carry my very nervous little sister with ease. It's been a long journey, but I also haven't had the slightest clue as to what I'm doing. So I feel proud of my journey too. I love Simon. Handsome and smart.
Majority of my moms side of the family comes from (and even still live in) Dawson Creek. You definitely know what you're doing and Simon is lucky to have been saved by you.
Videos like these are almost always so beautiful! I'm impressed with how good you are at handling horses and ponies! Seeing the difference from the beginning to now is... It's just so amazing! The bond you have with your horses are amazing!
Those ponies are so pretty!! Thank you for saving them
Shelby, you and your Mom did so well helping him become a wonderful, personable riding horse and human friend. So gratifying to witness! He is such a looker too! I love his unique and fetching facial markings especially. Who could kill such a beautiful, young gelding with such potential? Big applause to you!!!!
He’s so gorgeous. It’s really a testament to your approach and hard work and how you treated him right.
Do you feel he was mistreated being as he was so aggressive at times?
I used to ride when I was a child and I miss it so much.
It’s so amazing you could teach him what the legs mean from the ground. Your clearly doing an amazing job. Way to go.
Shelby, you are an absolute inspiration! Not only are you fearless! But you make for an amazing and adventurous individual. Watching your videos I feel so close to nature and it's amazing all that you've had the courage to go for and successfully do! That says a lot about a person.
Thank you!
Give yourself real relaxing spa day that horse is unrecognizable wonderful job everyone of you who takes care of the horses
What a lovely boy. Nice he was saved.
Shelby Dennis, did you hear? 7 competitors have been eliminated and disqualified from competition at a Dressage show for 2 reasons. Reason 1. Rolkur in Warm-up Area and 2. Improper fitting of the Sprenger Bit. On the left side is an arrow, and that must be showing outwards for the bit to be correct. It wasn't on all 7 that were eliminated/disqualified!!! Gotta love that the Stewards and Judges at an FEI 5* Event are FINALLY doing their jobs correctly!!!! Best Regards from your friend, the Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer,Horse Trainer and FEI Level Coach and Judge. From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖🇨🇦
You should be so very proud of yourself it's amazing what you and your mom have done, from someone who owns a horse who was previously badly abused and a pony who was semi wild I know how hard this must have been, he's one hell of a pony and I got so emotional watching the video, well done !!
I am so happy for Simon to get into your hands becuse his transformation is so amazing and all that he has learned is amazing. What you are doing is so amazing good luck with him in the future!
I adore your hart and compassion. Thank you for being you and thank you for your love for horses 😊
Thank you Shelby for rescuing him and with your care and training he has actually become worth his weight in gold
Your patience is the key to his success. You did an amazing job with him. A top trainer couldn't have done better your truly a natural.
Simons not short on the groceries, chuckle chuckle.. what a cutie.
I wish I had your training talents, however I do appreciate what you are doing for these horses. I love the way you narrated Simon's story, and wish you and all your horses the very best. Thank you for sharing this experience and his transformation in this video.
he's become such an amazing lil squidge 😍 i wish i was about a foot shorter lol
Simon is beautiful, he just needed a chance and lots of love. Thank you! ❤🐎
Simon is such a sweetie, I'm so so glad he found you!
Simon and you did a great job. You are a great teacher ❤
Simon is awesome. ! Good work and loving him ❣️🐎
watching the transformation in these last couple months has been incredable. Simon is finally showing his true colours and proving to everyone that horses don't need perfect pedigree to become successful! You are definitely in the right field of work Shelby!
Aw this makes me so happy! Simon has turned out to be such an awesome pony. And your mom's reaction was the cutest thing ever :)
I think it's awesome that you decided to help him. I find his trot adorable and I think you guys did amazing training him
It’s people like you that make the world a better place. With love and patience. Thank you
Your other horse also probably helped a lot with the training process. Because other horses learn from each other! Great job and keep up the wonderful work and keep following your heart ❤️
You're a real angel and I admire you so much.
It’s amazing what horses do for you once they trust you. It seems like after that hurdle, he took everything else in stride 💕
This came up in my feed and I couldn’t help but watch it for the 100th time. Love your horsemanship and your compassionate training methods.
Your patience is amazing.
This makes me so happy!!! Thank you so much for showing him what real compassion and understanding is. Love how you took your time. It always helps when this isn't rushed. You've done fantastic. How is he now? 🐎
Thanks! He is 4
So proud of both you and Simon ...you gave him a life and a purpose. He is the better for it. What a beautiful boy! I always enjoy your videos...the amount of love and patience both you and your mother give to all your animals really shines through.
Excellent video. You are an exceptional horse trainer. Your patience is infinite and so important. Simon is a very nice pony!
Way to go you have done really well with Simon from the day you got him OMG he has come along with flying colours well done 😊😊😊😊
He looks absolutely phenomenal! Fantastic job 👏🏼
You are a total hero! Thank you so much for saving this beautiful little guy...
Wow, you are amasing. Thank you and I hope people who can, will start to help horses in these situations, too
Coming soon to a theatre near you...Simon - The Story of the Squidge!
You’ve done such an amazing job with him Shelby...thank you for sharing this little guy’s amazing journey so far with us. Lots of love to you, your mom and all of your critters 💕
I almost wish you would consider keeping Simon for your mom. It's obvious that she is so so SO attached to him and I don't blame her one bit. What a job well done with him, Shelby. I'm blown away by your talent. Keep up the hard work.
He needs a kid as his main rider regardless so in the future will definitely at least be leased. My mom loves him but we both know it isn't in his best interest to essentially be a companion pony
@@Milestone-Equestrian I agree with you whole heartedly! He will be such a rockstar pony for a kid. Just seeing that clip of your mom riding him and crying happy, crocodile tears really tugged at my heartstrings for her. Please pass along my kindest regards to her. And again, keep up the amazing work that you do, Shelby!
And, he’s so handsome!! What a transformation! Well done!!👍👏
