- My horse wont stand still! What can I do? A recently purchased horse wont stand still to mount, the more the owner tries the worse it gets! Steve tries to make it this horse's idea to stand still and make important changes to the relationship www.buymeacoff...
I love Tanya's commentary, chatter, phone calls, interactions with random cats, and so on. It's so charming! But she is closer to the microphone! lol.
A year later and here to tell you that you’re a highlight of any video, Tanya! Hearing you two go back and forth is a delight, and I really enjoy the pace you two set together. The teamwork you two show is 100% a draw to the channel.
Tanya, do not let some grumpy people make you feel bad. You are not too loud at all. Those folks who think so can turn down their volume. You are half the reason we watch and love these videos. This American loves you and Steve! I don't even have a horse. And I've never owned one but love watching you and Steve and seeing him work his magic. You, my dear, are also part of the magic!!! Don't change for those rude people who weren't taught decency and decorum.
❤ See my comment above. We are not grumpy people how dare you abuse those people who are raising valid problems with audio so that Steve and Tanya can improve their product.
Exactly right! Well said.👍👍👍
Agree with your statement 100%!
If Tanya were more quiet, there'd be peeps complaining she was not loud enough. Haters going to hate. Tanya just be your authentic self, that's always best and the majority will prefer it, real authentic character feels more comfortable for most people. If some haters hate on you for it, my advice is put a big grin on your face and be yourself even harder, that's how you win with school yard bullies. It's really no different than when you were in kindergarten, some people have not grown out of that phase sadly and still act like they are 5 year old bullies. (All that being said, the main sound prob you have IMO is when the original sound is soft and then Steve does a much louder voice over (ie the sound volume has been set much higher for the added track) and then it goes back and forth between the two and I have to keep resetting the sound, that is a technical issue that in a perfect world, you might try to sort out a bit by matching the voice over volume a bit closer the spoken parts of the original recording)
@@OnceUponaTimeline So now anyone making suggestions are haters, schoolyard bullies, 5 year olds and so on? The bullying words are out of your mouth, not mine.
Tanya don’t change please love your input. Love your banter with Steve, don’t let ppl change your dynamic ❤️
totally agree .. we love your little comments .. esp the love from the sidelines and saying you love the other horses /ponies ... its not right or well with out you love xxxx ....................... also not liking this 'rushed' feel from the vid although I can see why Steve wants to focus on the issue .. that is good ... but tea break is a thing and we love it

Love Tanya don’t worry people are always finding something to complain about! Don’t change if they don’t like it they don’t need to watch!! Much love ❤️
Tell ‘em to bugger off Tanya. They’re your videos. They are lucky you bother at all. Cheeky lot!!!
Tanya I am a 58 year old living in Australia. I am not a horse person and have had no contact with one since I was a kid. I watch your videos because it delights me to see Steve help a confused or traumatised horse. It is such a joy to see the peace that on if these majestic animals finds when they have worked through problems with Steve. It grieves me to hear you apologise for being noisy. You and Steve have never claimed to be a professional production company. You provide a service for a paying customer and publish it FREE for the enjoyment and education of anyone who wants to watch. If someone doesn’t like what you produce they can pay for a consultation and then they can comment on what they don’t like.
Keep on being you, Steve I’m sure could not do what he does without the help and support that you give him. Remember “behind every great man is a great woman” and because you are not in front of the camera doesn’t mean you are less a part of the process.
I am happy for Steve or Charlotte to read all or part of this out. You do not get enough recognition for the work you put in and certainly do not deserve any criticism.
Keep on being you. 😘
God bless you both.
Regards Anne Mitchell.
Exactly!
Yet another example of a horse who is willing to learn from a patient human who understands horses and shows leadership. Thanks Steve 💥
Steve's patience is immense. You do a great job Tanya in all areas, not too loud.
I agree on both counts. See, you’re absolutely fine Tanya!
Tanya I absolutely love when during the lessons you are bending down to pet the cats or dogs. I, too, am an animal lover and your heart for animals shines through in the videos. ❤
❤️
Steve's wonderful quotes. 'Grace and Quality. Respect my space. Pressure, pressure, pressure, no pressure.' Steve's patience is amazing to watch.
Tanya never mind those people. You are critical to the videos. You can’t please everyone. Love you!❤
😊
Please don’t change your style Tanya. You and Steve are a great combo.
😮for all these people who insist on patting their horses, ask them "when did you ever see a horse patting another horse" thank you for all you do, Steve
Steve, you invite the horse to trust you, you show the horse you are his leader, you give the horse a physical language so it can communicate with, you then gift the horse the tools to enable him to co-operate with you , you enable him to understand what you are asking him to do, and you both use your shared language and tools to contentedly and calmly fulfil your request. The horse knows you understand what his needs and feelings are, and quietly he gifts his trust to you knowing he is safe in your care, and he’s being listened to. Such an honour to observe you at your work. Thankyou.
Don't change how you make your videos please. You are not loud Tanya, we love to hear you comment. We love the clips back to home where Steve explains things. The journeys to and from the clients. We love the long videos too that's why we watch, keep on keeping it real. Big thank you for entertaining us but most importantly educating, encouraging us and sharing your kindness to horse and human.
Oh good heavens Tania! If people don't like listening to your voice quite frankly they can bugger off! Your banter with Steve and your clients and other animals is beautiful. Never change! ❤
Steve and Tanya are in the entertainment business and the growth of their horsemanship channel is dependent upon their understanding that. To ask honest people to "bugger off" when they are sharing their reaction to certain aspects of the videos, e g -Tanya's role, is doing a disservice to the channel.
A broad spectrum of reactions and opinions, freely expressed in the comments here, may be of greater value to Steve and Tanya to improve their product and make even more informative and entertaining videos, than stomping down "naysayers" and chasing off those who do not agree 100 per cent to everything S & T do.
Tanya you keep on saying what needs to clarify the situation at training, because you and Steve are a team.
The work ethic you both have is excellent, those that have remarked in the negative haven’t experienced the working hand in hand with a wife or husband for a successful outcome. I’m impressed with your dedication to each other and to helping horses live the life of enjoyment and safe peace. 👏👏👏⭐️⭐️
Tanya, if someone feels they can’t watch the videos for whatever reason … it’s their loss! Don’t change a thing.
You’re great at making the horses feel at peace doing what they’re supposed to do.
Whilst watching this video I was reminded of a comment from a Pony Club instructor last week, they, the PC, have banned riders from patting their horses, rubbing only.🤓👍
Tanya, I really missed your chatter, giggling, nattering to all the animals. You hold a very important job as without you Steve wouldn't be able to do his job and teach the better ways! I missed you this vid. Ignore the nay sayers, they can go fish! Love you both and always awaiting new video's so I can continue to learn. PS I keep saying it but please dont shorten your vids I love watching them just the way they are xxx
Oh dear...
Tanya cackling again ?
Please don't stop...these are fun family real life videos
That everyone can enjoy and learn something ..horsey and non horsey alike
And we love all the family input...
And Tanya...you often take the words out of my mouth..So I find it satisfying...
I lo've watching them to relax and have a laugh .
Having had horses all my life I love watching how easily Steve can gain the horses trust and get them to understand what we need them to do...
And make it "their idea"
And all the extra stuff like "cackling...meals out...funny banter etc...." makes it all very entertaining....
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Agree! And I am 'hungry' for them to have another Toby's Carvery soon! 😊
Thank you Steve for mentioning RJAH Gobowen(Oswestry) Spinal unit, my brother was a nurse there. They treated many injured jockeys , brilliant place 😊
Tanya too loud?? What a ridiculous statement! I’m an American who doesn’t have a horse but I always watch your videos and Tanya, you are an important part of my enjoyment. Please. Keep doing what your doing.
Don’t change.
We love you as you are.
I get so invested when these beautiful horses are trying to learn new ways. That rider seems extremely anxious and I think Dundee senses that. ❤️👍👍
@steveyounghorsemanship
Love how smooth and light you are getting on and off...making it easy for the horse to remain standing still.
Maybe a video to help viewers with how to "mount with quality" would be valuable?
TANYA PLEASE KEEP TALKING, YOUR HEART IS IN EVERY HORSE AND HANDLER WANTING THE BEST FOR THEM. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Tanya isn’t loud ? What a strange thing for people to say …. Amazing video . I wish every single equestrian watched your videos we would have much happier horses :)
Tanya eases the anxiety and tension the owners regularly emit, I don’t know why people watch things that bother them, you play an essential part in the video imo.
Lovely horse and lovely holiday location !
Agreed Steve!! Wish we had these videos years ago!! But we not too old to learn!!
Tanya, you are an essential part of the process!!!! And you do bring attention to important valid points! Thank you Tanya! And I love your interactions with the other animals!! I hope your back recovered quickly. Shame. Perhaps you need to take a fold up stool or something so you can sit for a bit.
Bless you tan, don't take notice and carry on as the fab videographer you are. It's only loud as you are so close to the camera 🙄
Steve, as always, you’re the best! Tanya, I agree with K.Miller, those people who think you talk too much can BUGGER OFF! You’re the reason your videos make me feel like part of the family! A few years ago I lost my dad and, six months later, my brother. We went from a family of five to three women. At 65 I don’t get around the way I used to and I live alone now. It’s great to come home from work and see a video from my UK friends. You just keep being you. We love you for who you are. We love you too, Steve😂
Tanya you are NOT too loud. I will tell those moaners to *- off for you!
God ...whinging minnies get my goat ! If they've got the balls they can try and take me on! The work you guys do is way beyond wonderful.
I love you guys!!! Cant wait to get my hoodie and cap!!!!
Got caught in that horrible dana storm coming back into Madrid We were SOooo scared! We had to pull off the motorway various times on our way back from Cataluña.
I like your comments Tanya. What a lovely horse. Good job Steve.
Be yourself Tanya if others can’t watch they are the ones that miss out on brilliant learning opportunities
Don't forget to press the BELL icon as well, guys!! So you get notified of all new videos that come out!! And Tanya, ignore what people say!! I love hearing your comments as well as Steve's on the videos! Best regards from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
What a beautiful horse. Steve always knows exactly how to handle them. He understands the horses' worries and fears and helps them in the most respectful and kind way to overcome and get through it. I just love watching your videos.
Hello Steve and Tanya,
My mare does really well with the methods you have taught us to use! When I teach her something I will wait 2 days in between. She seems to have thought about putting the pieces together while soaking after the lesson for those 2 days.
We do not give our horses enough credit for their ability to think and absorb.
CHEERS!!
You are a wonderful, loving and humble couple. Don’t change!
Tanya you do you, I enjoy your comments during the videos and it doesn't detract from what Steve is doing.
Please dont apologise for the length of your videos!!! Thats like saying sorry for giving us all sooooo much!!😄 Some of my worst accidents have been getting on my horse!! This knowledge has changed my life and enabled me at 63 to keep riding...I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! ...and Tania...NEVER CHANGE!!! You are awesome and we love you!! Much love and appreciation from downunder❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your video s. Tanya your awesome please, please don't let people change who you are! It's both your energy and personality that is so beautiful. So many want to destroy beauty Don't let them. Stay strong, Stay you! From the USA, Carmichael!
I look forward to your videos! I don’t even have a horse… So keep talking Tanya…❤
❤dear Tanya, keep being yourself, I love 💕 you both sharing your experiences and your travels😊I enjoy tremendously all the Steve’s training, the demos & Your Family with Charlotte & her husband…your laughter brightens up my spirit Cheers! May you all be well & safe 🙋🏼♀️Hello from 🇨🇦
Just started watching. You two are a lovely couple. The way you start your video is so satisfying, down to earth and very similar to any coucy day out in Denmark. However, I just love you. You are special. Thank you 😘❤️🇩🇰
Tanya, like Steve says you can’t please everyone so keep being you and we’ll keep watching you and Steve working your magic ❤🇨🇦
Tanya you are never to loud and we love to hear you as well as Steve that makes us a family. I can never understand people that just have to moan instead of just clicking off if it doesn’t suit them. Well the rest of us just love ya and wouldn’t be right without your chatter that has me laughing a lot of the time. I don’t even own a horse but just love you guys please don’t change a thing! 💕
Brilliant session! Yes, I totally agree he didn’t like that area where they were mounting him. It may very well have been the horses in the stalls behind him … whatever. But it was an excellent idea to move the mounting block to that new area, where there’s no negative history or experiences, to contend with.
He seemed to catch on quite quickly … I think it was also good he was still green vs. this being a habit developed years ago!
Tanya, as soon as I saw the cat I knew he/she was going to come over to you and that you were going to pet him/her … and with quality! 😁
So love these VLOG’s because there’s much to learn. Yes it’s the same way of teaching but it always seems like it’s the first time I’m watching it! BTW the T-shirt goes well with your hat! 😂
Happy Tails! 🙌🙏🐎🐴❤️🇨🇦
❤
Tanya, You do a beautiful job! You are just the right amount of volume and I agree with the other fans of you and Steve... Do not change a thing and keep up this good work. We wouldn't be able to watch if you weren't recording. Another great video, thank you!
Tanya, you are NOT too loud… I Love your videos. You & Steve are the perfect pair & I Love all of your … keep up the Excellent work !!!
I love all of your adventures.
We love Tanya and Steve ❤❤
We love Charlotte's videos ❤❤
Another amazing job, Steve 👏👏
What is wrong with people? Tanya, you are lovely and have a lot to contribute. If they have trouble with their hearing then they should see their Dr. I’m sending some bad karma to them 😊
Love Tanya she’s so entertaining and Steve’s extremely lucky to have her
Love watching your brilliant training and patience with both horses and owners😊❤
Steve Young, best teacher of horses ... best teacher of humans. Well done again.
Yes Tanya you and Steve are a team! We appreciate all you both do to contribute to our watching! Love this horse, good solid chap.
Tanya, don’t listen to those who want you to be quiet. I find you have a lot of great things to add.
Again brilliant, not to mention the horse is so gorgeous. Steve and Tanya your definitely an amazing team. Well done. Only one problem, Tanya I love it when you're speaking to others but especially when you speak to the pets. Please don't let anyone change your shine.❤❤
Tanya and Steve are a duo and love Tanya talking and being there! Once again dont pat those horses!
Tanya, Just continue being you. Steve absolutely adores you, those who don't like the content can choose not to watch the shows.
I love all these positive comments to you, Tanya. You are an important and beloved part of the team!
This video is perfectly timed, as I've recently gotten a 4 yr old OTTB, and I'm currently working on him standing stock-still at the mounting block. I'm going to try this and let you know how it goes. I'm loving the two safety ties I got from you. We're installing eye screws everywhere at the barn. Cheers from Cincinnati, OH, USA!
The best tip in this great video - talcum powder to stop the creaking!
I've never heard that before, thank you Steve. Definitely gonna try it . ❤️
How unethusiastic these people are.Thankyou Steve for doing this for seemingly ungrateful people.
Tanya don't pay attention to anything negative. You're so funny and the banter between you and Steve is precious. You truly love each other and have a great relationship. ❤
Tanya, please ignore those people telling you not to talk! I love everything about these videos and that includes your input!
IF I was the Owner I would be showing how pleased I was with what steve had done...what a transformation. I would be saying that's amazing every 5Mins..thanks steve you have done amazing!
The Owner don't look that bothered😮
Great step by step learning Steve. I luv it how you always recognise if the horse is not comfortable with a particular spot or if somewhere is too dangerous to continue with a particular type of method. You truly are an amazing patient and wise horseman 👏❤🐴
What a beautiful horse. He caught on quickly. Great job, Steve.❤
What a great video. First of all, Tanja, you are not too loud. Ignore those people who say silly things.
That was a cracking horse and found his sweet spot quite quickly. He certainly looked a lot more comfortable towards the end. Another great job
What a sweet horse. I love him. He was so receptive to Steve's teaching x
Tanya, I don’t find you too loud. Talk away :)❤
Tanya! Stay happy. Don’t worry about a thing. U are fantastic!
It was wonderful watching Steve’s expert timing. What a gorgeous horse. I’m glad they moved the mounting block.
Tanya, you are A-OK & we ❤ you! Lynne was great too and looks much younger. Dundee is a big hunk of luscious horse; I love the heavier horses. Great video, thank you all,
❤WHY do people insist on "patting" their horses??!! It's akin to HITTING them duh!! People don't use logic.
❤ Thank you Steve and Tanya for all your lovely videos. 😍🥰🙏☺️
P.S. The longer your videos, the better. 😊 I hate videos that are too short lol.
I love listening to you, Tanya. Keep communicating! 😊
So important this video for so many people! I have seen so many other riders so agile that they don't mind if a horse moves off when it notices them getting on! And they look down on anyone like me, who has always struggled with that. I have always preferred to sort my stirrups first and tighten the saddle girth if necessary before wanting the horse to move off. And I love that Steve is of that opinion too!
Just wonderful to see this equine conversation take place.
Tanya..Please don't change for anybody....you guys are great.... Kathy from Virginia..USA...❤❤❤🐎🐎
Poor Pats Prevent Positive Progress. Thank U for posting❤😊
I really really like the color and build of this young one. He has such a nice look. Wish we could see more how he moves. How you use his missteps as a teaching tool is amazing. Thank you for sharing.🐴
Hi Steve & Tanya. Loved the video. We get so much pleasure watching you teach the horses Steve, and Tanya we adore you. Speak up as you feel fit. It is not easy standing in one position for a length of time & we love your contribution. Also love when you show us where you are going for a meal. Sorry there are some sour people out there. Perhaps Steve could train them !!! Love from New Zealand.❤❤
🩵🩶🤍 Super video, never ever too long! You guys are awesome, and as always, thanks to the people and horses who participate to allow us to see the situation and the progress towards resolution!
Defibrillators will talk you through what you need to do. Just open it up and turn it on and follow the voice instructions.
Thanks for that info. I did not know that. Why does government always fail in its responsibilities to inform us with good information?
I am viewing from the US and we have not been educated beyond "Here's a thing labeled "DEFRIBRILLATOR." It cost a lot of money. Use it only when necessary because if you use it improperly it can kill someone." They never said that there are audio instructions that will guide you on its use.
@@meloniedropik3539 I live in NZ and it's very normal here to have a first aid certificate - it is encouraged under our health and safety act where people can expect a safe workplace (which includes volunteering). So teachers, sports coaches, office workers, labourers all sorts have a first aid certificate usually covering CPR and AED as well. It needs renewing every 2 years and your employer (or sports club/volunteer group) will pay for it 99% of the time - got to meet those requirements under the law!
But if you do first aid and make a mistake, don't save the day, or break a few ribs doing CPR then you cannot be sued for damages. We have public liability here where your medical costs are covered in an accident by the government.
So people aren't scared to do first aid, and it's very normalised to be taught it.
When an AED is installed in your building you'll usually be "inducted" - the company will explain to everyone quickly what it is, that you can just open the box, if this light is flashing it means the battery needs replaced etc. It's a tool to be used and looked after.
Another great video, don't change a thing.
I love hearing Tanya’s comments. She adds valuable insights.
People who think you are a distraction are probably new and just haven’t learned yet that this channel isn’t just about horsemanship-even though that’s a large part of it. I thought that the first time I saw it-long ago. Now I realize that it is about a lot more than just Steve and the horses Its about the friendship we’ve established with your whole family and Jimmy and Chevy, Dan and Charlotte little ones too. Once they get to know you they will love you and enjoy your comments. I love the way you can’t pass a cat or puppy or horse without petting them. I’m the same way-I love animals!
The problem is usually not that the horse does not understand the human, it's that the human does not understand the horse.
If Tanya stops talking, alot of us will stop watching. So there, to all of you complainers!
Perhaps they meant to say that the audio volume levels could do with some post-production work because we do have to turn the volume way up to hear Steve working with the horse. Any sound that occurs close to the camera (people talking, rooster crowing, dog barking, wind blowing) does blow your eardrums out when you are using earbuds and have the volume turned up to 11 (as the cool kids used to say). If there is a way to even out the audio, I would find it much more pleasant to listen with my earbuds and would appreciate you son's efforts (sorry, I can't be sure I remember his name).
Please don't stop talking, Tanya!
I guess very few owners have the mindset to repeat something that often, thx for your great videos, I am really fascinated and amazed how „simple“ and subtle your solutions are, it’s not horse whispering, rather Reading the horses and training the humans
Tanya its not that you're too loud its just the mic is v close to you - its just a technical thing that can probably be solved with some kind of sound balancing .. if you can be bothered! I know they have to do it in TV .. But I'm loving how loud you are on this video. Its people .. they have to adjust and will do if they are genuinely interested.. You are a team. And people just have to get on with it! Thank you for these videos. I grew up around horses and wish I could have a horse now at aged 61! But this is a great comfort to me to see how Steve works and helps these lovely horses and people! And we wouldnt see it if not for you! 💚❤ Keep on keeping on..
Excellent educational video once again 👏 👌 👍. Beautiful horse and a cooperative, fast learner 🦄
Tanya, the only reason that your voice is a bit louder, is cos you're closer to the mic 🎤. I'd like to to say that Tanya's filming is brilliant and thanks you for putting so much effort into it, you are both essential to the success of these videos - well done team! ❤
Great horse trainer and instructor....love to know how Steve first got with horses.........
I enjoyed this video a lot. The methods and reasons Steve employs while handling horses thinking and learning helps me be more effective when I train my dogs. Not the same, but similar goals in training. I love horses still even though I can't ride them anymore and I learn from each video and get my "horse fix" at the same time.
Love all your video's. And of course you , tanya's and family. ❤🐕🙀🐴🦋🐎💚
Tanya keep up the running commentary as it helps prod Steve to remember names etc. He is lucky to have you.😊
What a great video to help horses and riders! Like you, I wish I’d known this technique 30 - 40 years ago. (When I was a kid, I used to climb on my horse’s neck and slide down onto her back from a fence. Riding bareback with a halter. 🤣)💚💚💚
Wonderful step by step demonstration. Thank you. My little horse is quite good at standing, but one day she was startled and left me in the dirt. Not much damage to me. I made her back around the entire arena then got on her and enjoyed a nice ride. I swear, she apologized to me for the next 2 weeks. I feel she is getting a bit nonchalant about mounting. We will have a refresher lesson. 😊
Oh my goodness Tanya so not true. Love hearing you. Keep being you. What can you do you ask. MIRACLES that's what you do. To be able to teach both owner and horse and see the change, the connection between both beyond beautiful. Thank you both for your videos.
Tanya, as Steve says you can’t please everyone. And as a matter of fact, being from America, I remember learning a famous quote sometimes attributed to Abraham Lincoln (although I can’t prove it) that goes something like this:
You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you will never please ALL of the people ALL of the time!
And that was said well over 100 years ago. So people will always have their own opinions and so what? So many people, myself included, love you just the way you are! So do what you do best and be yourself!
GREAT episode! Thank you both🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
