    This was so heart-warming to see Charlie's anxiety dissipate. Good catch about his eye. Once that was confirmed and the change made as to how to lead him, he was cool, calm, collected and a very happy boy.
    He's a gorgeous horse, too. I particularily love how silky his mane and tail are. Happy trails, Charlie!

    Breaks my heart for this beautiful animal. He was trying so hard. Many thanks to you Steve for finding the problem. She needs to paint those stalls white. That black is horrible.

    The only horse I ever had was a POA, got him at 6 months old, hadn't been handled. I had no one to help me with him, so we learned together. I got him broke to ride with no issues. He never did pick up on reining cues but he did move when you rubbed your feet against his side. Left, right, backwards, etc. He did "quirky" things, like insisting on running his lip across the top of your boot after you mount, before a ride. His head was always moving when we rode, as if he didn't want to miss a thing. Ignorance is bliss. He was blind as a bat. But, thankfully, he trusted me and everyone else he came into contact with. I found that out when he turned 5 and was told never to ride him again as it was dangerous.
    Shortly after, he was diagnosed with wobbles. So, we never did get to go on another ride. Point is, he didn't know he was blind. I didn't know he was blind. Together, we figured out how to make it work. I have high hopes for Charlie and his companion.

    @annamcknight2573 2 роки тому +5

    You knew long before you knew. You were speaking to him and letting him know where you were. You started on his right side and with most horses you start on the left. From now on Charlie's life will be much easier thanks to you.

  • @fernsmazal7116
    @fernsmazal7116 2 роки тому +10

    I too have a bad eye. I saw how he kept turning his head to "see" you better with his good eye. He couldn't tell what you wanted him to do. It was frustrating for him. Its good you found that out for the owners. It's sad because he's a beautiful horse. But he is big & strong & out of fear
    he could do serious harm. You showed differently her how to handle him with his handicap. Well Done 👏 Master Steve!

I am not a horse owner and, I think I missed out on having a wonderful relationship with another animal. My dog passed away at the age of 19 and I truly now that if I would have been a great owner. I truly enjoy watching you help all the horses.. Don't give up working and helping the horses.
    You truly have a wonderful family and home, again you truly love helping the horses . I think you and your family are wonderful people for helping these animals.
    I live here in America and love seeing the wonderful countryside of Wales and England so please keep up all the good work. Judy

    I really enjoy watching the transformation. So many misunderstood fearful horses. I guess it’s the way they handle them but Amish horses and mules always pull away from your hand. I don’t think there is time for the reward there. The way they back them up is painful to watch. They have no time to listen to someone tell them a better way. In fairness some are true horseman and try to learn, enough don’t tho. If I can teach one Amishman how to teach his horse to backup I’d be happy.

    I am so happy to have found your channel and I am binging your videos right now! You said Charley looks like a horse you had once - Sandy. Can you believe, my favorite horse 25 years ago, was “Candy” - and looked just like Charley. Flaxen mane and a white stripe. She was an old times Morgan mix so she had a stout neck. She was so safe, any child could ride her. Thanks for the memories! God bless you for helping these people with their horses.

    I was willing you to keep going. That head up resistance I had to deal with many years ago with a little horse with impaired vision. It's heartbreaking what you have to go through before gaining the right level of trust to be able to go riding as safely as possible. So pleased for the horse that you discovered the problem so quickly and were able to help it. What a wonderful job you did. I'm sure the horse is much happier now, not to mention his doting owner.

    Charlie is such a gorgeous horse - anyone know what breed or cross he is? He almost looks like he has some smaller draft blood in there somewhere. It's such a shame that he can't be ridden safely due to his vision problems, but he is obviously a beloved and well-cared for pasture pet! If he were out in public his owner would receive loads of compliments on his beautiful coat, mane & tail.
    Ooooh! What a TAIL!🤩

    Steve at one point when you were turned to speak to the lady,
    Charlie actually backed up on his own, it really surprised me. It is too bad you did not see it. I think Charlie should be taken to the Veterinarian
    and have his left eye looked at, perhaps there is something that can be done for him. Don’t miss that chance ! You’re doing a beautiful job on Charlie Steven !!

  • @sharonoconnell8653
    @sharonoconnell8653 2 роки тому +3

    I noticed 2 things: 1) after you confirmed reduced or no vision in low light in the left eye you stood talking away while standing on his left side while it makes sense to me that Charlie would have been more comfortable with you standing on his right where he can see you and 2) presumably that owner is paying for your expertise - somebody should tell her that when her mouth is working, her ears aren't. I missed what you were saying a few times because she talked over you with some self-soothing chatter - I hope that can be taken as constructive criticism. But she must have been watching and listening because she surely did well with Charlie after your insights and training. Thank you for the great work you do.

    i know a lot of blind horses who ride very well. one horse I used to ride was annie and she is blind in one eye its been removed and she isn't afraid of anything, she is a saddlebred, and she is one of the main lesson horses. She is good for anyone and just a happy go lucky kind of horse, and goes anywhere you point her too, she is like never moody, just such a fun horse to be around. She is a little more leary on that one side as any horse would be but she does a little bit of everything.

    Steves first impulse about the eyes where absolutely right. How fascinating! Just about to see the rest of the video. Tanya, you got really nervous when the horse walked so far from the camera, or was that the reason? You´re good videographer Tanya. He is so frightened. The poor thing. Seen it all now: And in retrospective it´s so obvious the problem with the eye. Well done! Wonderful video! Sweet horse.
