Arabians have so much to offer if started correctly! Tgey cannot be forced or bullied into anything. You do a super job of figuring out what each horse needs, not matter the breed! Quite a talent as a horse trainer to be willing to do that! Keeping any horses brain keyed to what they need to move forward in their training is so very important as no 2 are ever alike!!
Amazing progress! Love how you understand that Arabians need brain engagement & a chance to figure things out. Phantom will be a wonderful partner. I miss my Arab, but so enjoy watching you folks create bold, trustworthy, safe & sane Arabians! (And other horses!) Blessings from NW Florida!
I LOVE Arabs. Have started several myself. If you are patient they will learn they can trust you (like at the bridge) and do anything you ask. And when I trail ride with others they often remark on how my horse seems to be enjoying the trail as much as the humans.
I agree with everything you said about Phantom and Arabians. The horse I have now was an Arabian like Phantom with a ADHD brain and very reactive. I have had him 3 years now and have worked with him a lot on the ground to develop his brain more and help him be less reactive. He has come such a long way !!! I walk him along a busy road a lot with school busses , garbage trucks, and 18 wheelers going by . He has learned that they are not going to hurt him and hardly reacts at all. It is different when I ride him because I have not ridden him out as much. He still spooks at unexpected times and has unloaded me (bareback) a few times. I still have to be very careful when I ride because he can be walking along very relaxed and a deer jumps out beside him and he does a Big spook. Very thankful for the progress he has made !! He is a different horse from the one I first brought home and continues to progress.
I really don’t consider them adhd, it’s how Arabians survived in the wild. They are just very intuned to everything. They are so alert and sensitive. These horses are just misunderstood.
I'm so glad to see how far that Phantom has come. He's been really trying and he's shown you that he wants to be a good horse. It's wonderful to watch and see how this horse has responded to your kindness and good leadership and training.
Wow, he’s a different horse since the last time I saw him, your patience and dedication have done the job! I love how Robert walked him across the bridge, and when returning to the barn he calmly crossed it!
Robert is so nice and quiet. It very pleasing to watch him ride. Phantom’s owner must be very happy with his progress. I enjoyed your instructive commentary especially when talk about adapting to the situation rather than following a rote path. Training isn’t paint by numbers.
Such an amazing transformation here! He’s a quick learner with so much try! His efforts to give Robert the canter were so cute! I love how expressive Arabians are - how they give 110% no matter what they are doing or being asked to do is endearing. You are very insightful and instructive in every video and it is a blessing to watch. Thank you again Tim And he is becoming such a happier and fulfilled horse with you and Robert’s leadership. His walk back to the arena was fabulous- almost kind of like he knew he did good too 😂 Which is great bc he did. Looking forward to more.
Mr. Anderson, thank you for this video. I truly appreciate it! I would have never considered an arabian to be a suitable trail horse before now. In fact I have used the word "Hate" so many times when the breed was mentioned because in my mind they were far to fractious minded to ever consider owning one. I wouldn't really have need for one on a cattle ranch so when Phantom arrived at your barn I really thought I would skip this series but he has come so much further than I expected. While I still would use a quarter horse for my own life style I can see that my ignorance abounds. 😮
I have won a lot of money showing an arabian in cow classes. They can be very cowy and Phantom is one of them. We've already started him on cows and he's very good.
Great job. I know several people that have had Arabians that did not know enough about to train them like this. They ended up having to sell the horse to someone with more experience.
Tim you are not just training a horse you have also trained Robert. It's a great comfort knowing that your skills, knowledge and mindset will continue to help horses live happy, productive lives through Robert and others that you train. That's a very wordy hug and high five for you Tim! 🙄😀😁😂
Wonderful work all 3 of you. He is gorgeous. I did see someone talking on a 50+ women in the saddle FB group today. They were sharing that they saw a video about building a bond with their horse thru asking more of them vs just hanging out and loving on them. I instantly knew that video was one that you put out recently. She was saying how well that has been working for her and her horse. That others should be asking more of and challenging their horses to help create that deeper bond. Your teaching is helping others and we appreciate you and what you share with us.
People who wear helmets don't usually fear falling off, the just don't like ending up with brain damage. You have an outdated view on helmets. Too sissy for you?@@patriciaantolik6741
Beautiful and intelligent Arabian. You can see, in the srena, that he's very interested in observing his surroundings. Very interesting watching Phantoms body language. Much more reactive than most horses ive seen being trained. He needs much more socialization than other breeds. Perhaps if he had more experiences in different areas as a younger horse he would be a bit calmer. ❤ 🐎
Phantom is a beautiful horse. He has a fare amount of “I don’t want to” but you are working through that. He definitely needs to learn some balance. Would love to see him with Sabre sometime.
I'm so glad to hear you explain how getting off your horse when they are unsure about something can help the horse gain confidence. You don't do it for every little thing, but going over the bridge was a great example. Years ago my trainer wisely told me the same. It worked well using this advice for me and my young Arabian & prevented what could've been a negative experience for me & my horse.
Thank you so much for this very informative video and showing ALL horse breeds are different and need varying degrees of patience & training to achieve your objectives ❤
This is a great video. I am totally impressed by the rapid improvement in Phantom. Clearly you have struck the correct balance between firmness and freedom to think. I wish more dog trainers were able to find this balance. If they had, we wouldn't have the incredible number of aggressive and out of control dogs that we see out in society!
Very key in what you said" the right reaction for tge right horse" so very true! I started working with Arabs, had many like Saber and Fanton? But when traibed correctly they are wounderful horses. Love watching you and Robert work them. I showed Arabs in rhe 70s and 80s then switched to quarters. Now I own and train lousitanos from Portugal. Again they are different from the other breeds i mentioned. I am still learning at age 70 thank for these videos and sgaring your knowkedge❤
I am learning so much from these videos. I was out on a trail and my horse got really antsy. The circles are the best! We are also working on going over a bridge. This video was super helpful as I don't want to work against the horse.
A great job you and Robert are doing with this beauty! It's lovely that you consider each horse individually and adjust its training as needed! Sorry that our pesky Canada geese are still loitering about! 🙄
@@timandersonhorsetraining Uhmm, Mr. Anderson, "our" geese have become such International Pests that I think in some countries, it's legal to... well, use them for "practice"... sessions...
Whatba transformation, very impressive after watching him come so far!!! And so soon im the right hands!!! I think that has alot to do with it... because you know when to correct right away and say no too
What a beauty. Never knew having to learn to canter when under saddle and bridle was a thing. Adhd tend to get the wide picture, review allowa more details to be added. When they get into focused attention, hyper attention is pretty magnificent. Cranky as heck when someone tries to break into that extreme focus.
I tought my arab mare the one rein stop.later on trails if I saw her getting worried about a huge bolder,deer,fock of crows I just st slid one hand down the rein and rested my knuckles on her neck.ahh ok moms got me were good and she'd keep her cool.on trail rides they always asked for button to be first.and marveled at how she rode with her neck level and alert but relaxed.definatly enjoying life.what a treasure
Arabs are very intelligent and athletic. When starting many horses, it's a good idea to get them somewhat tired before the real training begins. With many Arabians I've known that doesn't work. You will wear out before the horse. Some simply have NO quit in them.
Hi Tim, I am curious to know if Phantom has more than one swirl on his forehead? Team Anderson will get it done no matter the hurdles and Phantom will be better for it!
There's a lot you can do with a young horse from weanling to ready to start under saddle. The more you work with them and expose them to things, the easier they are to transition to being ridden. You can teach almost everything from the ground, but exposing them to new sights and sounds throughout their early life can build your bond and give you a confident horse under saddle. I would tie things to the fences (plastic bags, jugs with a few rocks), set up a "bridge" in the gate out to pasture, hang a tarp from a tree, pin down a tarp on the ground, roll a barrel or two into various places in their pen or use whatever else I had lying around. They learn to investigate instead of panic. Teach them to tie well and work with those legs and feet all the time. I can't tell you how many times I've had a horse get attacked by a fence or downed wire (thanks to deer) and the worst thing they can do is panic, so reducing that instinct can really help prevent an injury. Then if you send them out for training, you'll either save a lot of money or get a horse back that knows a whole lot more than most in a short amount of time. You also won't hear trainers talk about those crazy Arabians anymore 😂 It works on all breeds, even Arabians (50 years of owning and/or raising Arabians with excellent minds).
Phantom is such a beauty. Did the owner confirm that he's all Arabian or may be a cross? His back end seems a bit higher than the front,. Maybe that's why finding the canter is a little more of a challenge till he gets used to it? Robert is an amazing rider. I think a few lesser rider might have gone flying with some of those moves.
He's definitely all Arabian, its not uncommon for any new horse to start out cantering like that. They're unsure of how to balance the rider so a bit reluctant to move their front legs more (that's where they carry most of their weight)
This is a different horse in a different stage of training. This horse is not capable of giving the attention of the other horse. That would be like requiring a 6 year old child to act like a 16 year old child.
There are differences in “craziness” between the lines of an Arabian. I’ve found that Polish Arabians are as smart but not as crazy as, say, an Egyptian or Russian Arabian.
He needs to be able to develop trust in you from the ground first. Long before you climb on his back. Bless this beautiful boy for putting up with you with no trust in you to begin with.
As far as I can see in these videos, Phantom is a super typical Arabian. Arabs are usually very cooperative, sometimes to their detriment. Like you said, they really "get" what you want from them quickly, but not thoroughly. I have found that training an Arab is like singing "A Partridge in a Pear Tree". You have to repeat yesterday's lesson, THEN do something new, then run through everything again. You are right about the ADHD! The solution, like you state/show, is repetition. Everyone should know horses do best what they do most. The ONLY thing I disagree with is the smooching noise. People make that noise at Arabs to get more "action" out of them. If the Arab has been shown in Halter, that sound can cause "crazy-Arabian" issues. Now that's what judges want to see in a Halter show ring, but NOT what you really want from a trail/cow/western pleasure horse. You want calm, slow responses that require the horse to "think" about what you want from him. I'm loving your methods!!! You are training exactly the way my family has trained Arabs from the early 60's. THANK YOU for taking the time that this Arab needs. Arabs have a bad reputation that is the forced on them through stupidity. Arabs have the ability to LOCK in on their human and develop a "LOVE&TRUST" connection that is deeply profound. I'm about to watch you with the other Arab you have. It brings back so much!
God dam crazy Arabs, he needs to be an endurance horse, a natural home for all that energy he has. Cant see him being a trail horse, be like riding a stick of old dynamite, you never know when its going to go off.
Actually after 60 years of training Arabian horses specifically for endurance I can tell you that some Arabian horses do not make it in endurance riding. I had several that were happier as dressage or cow or show and just trail riding. Kind of surprised us but as a trainer it’s important to recognize that each horse is indeed an individual and find the job they are happiest doing. I bought a really well conformed Arab in partnership with a friend and it had beautiful bone and really great hooves but as we progressed through his training he was NEVER happy on trail endurance training or even trail riding for fun but the minute we started him in dressage in arenas he was a happy bouncing ball of joy. Sold him to my dressage instructor a USET TEAM RIDER who fell in love with the horse. They went on to be great partners.
Yes, green horses tend to play with the bit and throw their heads around because of the newness. Now having said that, some horses may not like certain bits so he could find the D-ring uncomfortable, if that is the case it just takes time and experimenting with other bits to find the one he is most comfortable with.
Why bother with these unpredictable tricky horses? There are so many nicer ones out there who need good homes. Pretty? Sure. Worth it? Um......my personal opinion. You are welcome to yours too x glad he didn't smack his bum onto a hot fence!
I'm so glad to see how far that Phantom has come. He's been really trying and he's shown you that he wants to be a good horse. It's wonderful to watch and see how this horse has responded to your kindness and good leadership and training.

So true!!
What a beauty. And VERY smart, a quick learner. Hope his owner appreciates what a great partner this horse will be.
Awe yes i know! I agree. I feel like these breeds are just misunderstood and I didn’t see any bad behavior from him I just saw uncertainty and fear.
Lovely job, Robert! It takes guts to ride a high-energy horse in a new place.
Wonderful change. You guys should win the Nobel Peace Prize!
I go to the Scottsdale Arabian Show every year, the Arabian horse performs in a lot of diverse disciplines, many people would be surprised. 🇺🇸
Smart horse, and very lucky to be put into your hands; others may not have understood his needs.
I totally agree with you!
I like your voice overs while Robert works. 😊
Me too and the little written notes are great too

Love this breed and admire your talent and patience with the horses
Phantom has made great strides, I had no doubts! He gave Robert a pretty nice ride after that excitement, lol
He is coming along really nicely. Both you and Robert should be commended in bringing out the best of him.
Wow! You guys have done an amazing job with him, can't believe it's the same horse!
What a positive training philosophy you teach. Robert is so calm and reassuring to a young horse. Great session!

He is gorgeous! Black Arabs are rare.
must be nice to be able to mount with out a block ( im old and have issues ) maybe someday i can fix that and do it
Much experience with them, working on an Arabian ranch. They are intelligent and sensitive. If you read them wrong, they will school you.
Arabians are the coolest horses ever. One just needs to understand them.
Great horsemanship
You sit on a point of the Back that provok buckling
Sorry i am no nativ speaker but i Work with Arabian and i am a physician

Do you ever get into that electric fence? That would be a worry for me
NO. The horses respect it.
So, was it too early to turn this horse when its ears were remaining pointed forward like in your other recent video?
This is a different horse in a different stage of training. This horse is not capable of giving the attention of the other horse. That would be like requiring a 6 year old child to act like a 16 year old child.
@@timandersonhorsetraining - Thank you. I figured it was something along those lines.
There are differences in “craziness” between the lines of an Arabian. I’ve found that Polish Arabians are as smart but not as crazy as, say, an Egyptian or Russian Arabian.
How about "hot" instead of "crazy?"
Not helped by the awful way they are shown in hand in the US.
I have found that to be true as well !
Man he’s beautiful!!
He needs to be able to develop trust in you from the ground first. Long before you climb on his back. Bless this beautiful boy for putting up with you with no trust in you to begin with.
On one of Saber’s videos, I seem to remember you saying Arabians had ‘fruit loops for brains’. 😊
No I did not say that, a commenter did.
Someone else had commented on a post. Tim refuted that.
Teach your horse to lower his head , to help you bridle and halter him.

Actually after 60 years of training Arabian horses specifically for endurance I can tell you that some Arabian horses do not make it in endurance riding. I had several that were happier as dressage or cow or show and just trail riding. Kind of surprised us but as a trainer it’s important to recognize that each horse is indeed an individual and find the job they are happiest doing. I bought a really well conformed Arab in partnership with a friend and it had beautiful bone and really great hooves but as we progressed through his training he was NEVER happy on trail endurance training or even trail riding for fun but the minute we started him in dressage in arenas he was a happy bouncing ball of joy. Sold him to my dressage instructor a USET TEAM RIDER who fell in love with the horse. They went on to be great partners.
When is the rider taking some ridinglessons? He bumps on the horses back like hell. jezus.
Seems to be uncomfortable with the bit -open mouth, throwing head up to avoid contact, constantly mouthing it-is this just due to greenness?
Yes, green horses tend to play with the bit and throw their heads around because of the newness. Now having said that, some horses may not like certain bits so he could find the D-ring uncomfortable, if that is the case it just takes time and experimenting with other bits to find the one he is most comfortable with.
Also Arabians have thicker tongues so don't suit a lot of bits, but a lot of people are unaware of this.
How are his teeth? Mouth and teeth problems can cause behavior problems just like people and any animal.
Why are people so quick to assume a medical issue. It is obviously not.
Progress but not for inexperienced rider at all
Why bother with these unpredictable tricky horses? There are so many nicer ones out there who need good homes. Pretty? Sure. Worth it? Um......my personal opinion. You are welcome to yours too x glad he didn't smack his bum onto a hot fence!
Why bother making derogatory statements about someone else’s preferences in horses.
Because he deserves a good home.
I'm so glad to see how far that Phantom has come. He's been really trying and he's shown you that he wants to be a good horse. It's wonderful to watch and see how this horse has responded to your kindness and good leadership and training.
