It's an old trick that's worked out for those I've used it with , but as in all things equine, each is unique and it may not work with this one .
I've put an old saddle on a fence , ground, hanging from a tree etc. Depending on reaction , adjust the distance . Leave it in view . Bring it closer over time . Allowing the animal to eventually have it where they can smell , touch it as they decide how to deal with the "monster" on their own . A harsher lesson in some eyes is put the saddle in a feeder or next to their water source . Never in an enclosed or restricted area they can't get away from safety, allow them to figure it out . No association with a human presents is necessary, except from a distance or unobserved by the horse , just to be sure of horses safety. It takes however long it takes , each is different . This trick with a few others , along the way , has been the difference between these horse's becoming rideable or sent off to the sales yard . Good luck to you all 🤞
That horse is special and very smart.
Thanks I train my own horses.
Ryan Rose thank you so much for your videos im in the middle of working with 2 horses. I love watching you work. And so much to take it. I am looking foward to see if you can see if theres something i can improve in what im doing.
Did you get to ride him? Is the rest of the video on your Patreon site?
I like how open minded the owner is. Most people with "problem horses" completely blame the horse and are the primary cause of the problems. She understands it's a fear response. I really wish more people were like this! ("He has a forever home", most owners get rid of their horses, no loyalty or compassion). Very admiral owner Scout has.
I don’t think the owner “understands” anything. I think they just want their expensive horse to be broke.
@@matthewbridges1438Sure, maybe, but she hasn't done anything wrong and has been completely truthful. It's a rare trait in many owners who present their horse as a "problem" horse or an "unrideable" horse. Also, he is a pretty broke horse, just hasn't advanced anywhere from his issues.
It is sad that horses are considered livestock vrs pets at this day and age. When a person has temperary financial problems the 1st response from friend s and family is to sell the horse. The pressure is over the top.
We have to start helping each other to support our community and encourage keeping the horse instead of selling. We are seeing our horse rescues overflowing and failing.
Allot of horse owners that say their horse is unsaveable its because the owner whips them, or beat them to gain control.
@Purplepinkmom sell to slaughter warehouses.
19:21. Horse understood everything he said and agreed
This comment is probably way late regarding this horse but I was helping a friend training a horse by bringing my horse into the round pen under saddle with the horse in training. Issue was, the longer he rode the the more nervous he became. Or so we thought! I told my friend that I didn't think it was nervousness but boredom. I suggested that we take him out for a trail ride and give him a job to keep his thinking brain working. I suggested that the horse was bored and sick of going around in circles. After the trainer was talked into my idea, down the trail we went. The horse loved it and was for the most part completely relaxed. When the horse did get a bit nervous I had him bring his horse behind my very seasoned horse nose to tail for comfort. Once relaxed he separated from my horse and did great. Moral of the story, don't round pen your horse to death. It gets a horse to sour to it and their brain will start to wander.
Good grief, all the ‘expert’ comments 🙄. Relax peeps, every horse on Earth hasn’t been abused, sometimes, horses act like dopes. Those who commented about the horse being in pain didn’t watch the first two minutes of Ryan saying that the horse has been thoroughly vet checked. None of the critics provided a link to their own, free horse training videos. Weird.
Agreed- some horses get an idea in their head about something and it’s very hard to change their minds. This horse doesn’t act like he’s been mistreated. I had a polish bred Arabian who was given to me by the woman who got him from the breeder because she couldn’t do anything with him. He was so flighty and borderline dangerous. She felt like he MUST have been mistreated by the breeder to be so flighty. I took 2 years spending time with him on the ground and exposing him to everything I could. He became really quite okay on the ground but ALWAYS had a tendency to explode when he decided something was suspicious. Eventually He accepted the saddle, after all the ground work we did. I leaned on him for slowly increasing time increments for over a week, rewarding and keeping a close eye on his opinion. He seemed great, so I threw a leg over, he turned around and sniffed my boot, and completely exploded. Full bronc. I took several steps back, and worked back up to it, same thing, saw the boot, completely flipped out. Impossible (for me) bucks to sit. I figured “must have a bad experience with boots”. So we worked with just desensitizing with the boots. He was terrified of the boots. After 3 years of careful work and never being able to advance past the boot issue, and feeling completely lost with him, I listed him for sale being fully transparent about
His issues and looking for someone who could finish his training under a buy back contract. I said in my listing that I believed he was abused in some way based on his extreme reaction to boots. The breeder reached out to me and said “he’s never been abused, his dam is extremely flighty, and was never broken to ride because of her untrusting, panicky nature”. I’m thinking; wow, so you BRED her?? But anyway- a girl bought him from me, worked with him for a while, then told me she strapped boots to the saddle and he (of course) flipped out, got away from her, and galloped up and down the field for 2 hours before he finally realized he wasn’t being hurt, just getting tired. she said he eventually just walked up to her, she got on him and he walked off fine and has been one of her best trail horses since that moment. It’s not always abuse, it can be bad breeding and them getting an idea in their head that is hard to change.
Sorry for the long winded story I just wil always remember that horse and his unique situation.
@@James4604251 That horse was lucky to have someone so extremely patient as you! As a kid, I was a ‘stable rat’ (lacking funds, I hung around riding stables doing any kind of jobs to be around/ride horses). I saw the good, bad, ugly, and extremely stupid ways people treated horses. (A girl whose mare had a foal thought it was ‘cute’ to put the foals front feet on her shoulders-guess how that ended!). Others, who were too ‘nice’ to sanely discipline their horses ended up heartbroken, with bullies they couldn’t control; and, unfortunately, I witnessed too many who beat and abused their horses. It was my observation that most abused horses simply became ‘broken’, completely zoned out, like zombies. I was amazed that so many people truly feared their own horses, which caused so many problems. I saw how horses acted completely differently with different people and realized how sensitive they are to our energy. I was told by many ‘experts’ to dig my thumbnail into a horses gum to make him accept the bit! That seemed stupid and counterproductive to me, so instead, I would secretly put a little honey on the bit, after which, even those that previously stood on their hind legs, would easily and willingly accept being bridled. There was one terrified of plastic bags, who flipped out on the trail at the sight of one. Similar to your boots story, his owner put him in a corral with plastic bags tied everywhere, even to the horse, lol. He quickly learned that he had nothing to fear from the bags. It was an ‘aha’ moment for me. Long story long, I learned that when they trust you, and you are kind and confident (like Ryan), most horses are willing to do anything for you, when they can understand what you want.
OK. Here's a link...well, sort of...look up a video on UA-cam about the 24 signs horses have when they're in pain. Many of them are very subtle & it takes a really good vet that won't give up until they find it. So he could still be in pain & the vet didn't see it. Not all vets know everything & have different experiences. Second opinions are wonderful. Check the saddle fit, too...
Gawd dayum these comments are as long as my teachers paragraphs
I made a comment on a completely different situation that the horse on that video was just being a butt (which he was) and I thought people were going to lose their minds. I can’t tell you how many different people informed me that horses never act like butts, is always the rider’s fault.
I noticed that after you put the pad on him and you went to get the saddle he followed you. He obviously knew what was going to happen next and yet he stayed with you. Not what I would have expected...I like him.
😊👍
I love this horse….good luck with him
@@calgal5752 . He is gorgeous and noble. I hope he can be sorted out!
The horse is playing with him.
Yup
I love how horses are being trained in a postive way, rather then just breaking them threw control.
That’s because we have the LUXURY of doing so. Most people I know of, loved their horses and used as much gentleness as they could. My dad was born in 1924 in Montana. There were real cowboys as well as logging teams. He told me how these grown, tough loggers cried when they stopped using the teams. It’s a modern arrogance that tries to claim cruelty
@@debbylou5729in
THis is not positive training, although way better than training through dominance.
I feel like the issue he is having is not with the saddle itself but with the way in which people have approached him with the saddle, and most work . Not a lot of trainers take the time to evaluate “ what the horse is feeling “ and fail to recognize the subtle clues the horse is giving them. He has noticed your patience with him as well as you understanding him which goes a LONG way. Awesome video, can’t wait to see the next one 😊
Just like people, horses feel safer and more confident around people who hear them & respect them.😊
Where is the Part 2 vid? This is 2 months old as of this writing
@@downbntout Why aren't you asking the trainer directly?
So many people underestimate the animals mentality and intelligence. Dogs, cats, horses suffer at the hands of men/ humans. This latest with all the animals pets acquired during covid and are then dumping them. Just makes me sick to death at the emotional abuse being dealt these wonderful and loving creatures. Thank you for being the one's doing right by God's creatures. I learned to ride at 60 and learned so much about having a happy collected horse that trusts it's rider even though I wasn't that good.
@@downbntout They have given up on this horse. He's now officially a pasture ornament.
Most impressive comments I've ever seen on one video online. I just had to subscribe. I feel the same way other commenters feel. Ryan is a heartfelt horse trainer that deserves to go viral.
I’d say that 1.7M views on a video is viral?
This is real good horsemanship. I wish I’d of been taught how to work easier like this than the way I was. Guess I’m not 16 anymore. “Not trying to be a better bronc rider then the person before” was gold. man I’m really impressed!
I think the fact that you talked constantly was a calming factor. It is so easy for stressed and fearful people get very silent and they tense up. You talked, let him know what things you were handling and you made it easier for his curiosity to grow. You made it an adventure at his own pace. The more trouble everyone had with him the more visceral the stress and tension. No one trusted him so he did not trust all the tense people around him. So many of the actions of people moving around horses carry implied threats with. We get onto their backs just like a cougar, maybe a bear, would and if we do it hard and tense it scares the daylights out of a sensitive horse. Walking with the saddle really got him to relax with "BINDINGS". Awesome work, Ryan. At the end you had him really curious about what you were going to do next. And he was all on board for that "next thing". Great trainer.
Goodness, love the way you’re noticing him. You’ve clearly gained trust by doing so. All the details (and your narration through them) are great to learn from. I’m so excited to see the next video. This was an impressive first session. Great job, Ryan and Scout!
Thank you
If one watches/listens to a horse, they will teach you what they need.
@@ryanrosehorsemanshipcan you do how to sit in your seat and keep your hands steady? I’m Trying to barrel race and my teacher said I need to work on my seat and hands
Ooooh wish u we're in G Britain 🇬🇧 to help me n bailey boy🐎loving ya work AND Understanding
But do it on the other side!
Wow, most horse training videos with a guy in a cowboy hat with a catchy title end in watching a man terrorize a horse by putting them into fight/flight. What a pleasure to see that you use learning theory, body language, and really respect the horse by listening to them and using kindness and shaping. There is hope for the horse training world!
Wow! You must be watching the wrong guys in a cowboy hat! There are some great horsemen out there “wearing a cowboy hat”
What a ridiculous comment based entirely on your bias . Get over the hat and watch some real trainers wearing that cowboy hat you fear gently train a horse.
Really? Tell me which ones. You said ‘most of the time’. A phrase usually used without any REAL experience
You don't understand natural horsemanship.
Found the feminist lol
Scout clearly appreciated your support and understanding Ryan. Your techniques and videos are fantastic.
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
All I can say is he is a gorgeous animal and thank you Ryan for spending the time with him to figure out what he needed.
P
Great video....."reading" a horses reactions/body language can make or break a training session. Looking forward to the next video. Such a nice horse! He deserves the work to help him move forward....he is so lucky to have an understanding owner. Most folks would just throw up their hands and dump him.
God bless you both, Ryan and Scout's owner for not giving up on him!
You do so well with this horse. I have a horse like that, he could explode ….. why? A lot of patience, a good trainer who asked himself: can you ever ride him… A lovely horse in the daily things around him. Small steps, lots of pause, learned him to concentrate on me. Being clear to him, reward him for his good behaviour and look at what he needs. It was a way I will never forget. Slow down, relax. He is allright now, I ride him on a quiet way, know his signals, get him through te stress and relax again. That was the hardest struggle, because when he stressed out, I became to be scared, because I was bucked off many times ( that was shocking for him too!, he always came to me after bucking me of…) Greetings from Jet & Stormy from the Netherlands.
What an absolutely beautiful horse. I don't/can't ride...well I can if it's one that only gives me a slow walk. I only rode an old palomino (not sure of spelling), he was an old boy at my grandparent's farm. I could kick all I wanted and only got a slow walk and he stopped when he wanted. I couldn't understand how when my dad got on him he could get him to run...until I was older, then I understood that horse knew I was small, and obviously much smarter than I. 😊.
Ryan you are amazing! You are a horse psychiatrist and you have no idea how many horses suffer because people just don’t get it! What you do is incredible!
You are a great trainer Ryan. I love this horse and wish you and his owner the best of luck. He really is trying
I cannot wait to see part 2. What a great owner Scout has, to take him to all these trainers! Dedicated.
Hi Ryan. Did you do a follow up video to this one?
I so appreciate the way you always turn the issue of working with an animal other trainers have worked with from it being a matter of "I'm a better trainer than _____" to how do I help this horse. I find that to be one of the most professional things I have ever seen. 👏👏👏
Wow, this was so awesome! I work with dogs, not horses, but the same can be said: it's the tiny behaviors that you need to pay attention to.
So true. Ive worked with both dog and horse. I've tamed 15 rank horses that had been abused...none bucked me even once, I spent much time just being with them, one on one--playing guitar to them letting them play the strings with their noses. Maybe it was the guitar that made them trust me 💯before I rode them. I also always rode them bareback on the first few mounts. In case you are wondering, I took in horses cowboys gave away because they couldn't break them from bucking. They were abusive cowboys and the horses were too strong spirited to have their spirits broken. I had public riding stables for 12 years and all my initially rank horses turned out to be my gentlest babysitters for small children and scared adults. This story is💯true. ❤
@@TuxnDogthat's incredible!! Thank you for sharing. ❤
@@phyllisnunn2061 thanks for reading my story and enjoying it. It was a nice flashback to relive. I sure miss my horses... looking for a larger property for that purpose and give more space for my Cane Corso Tuxn Dog Who talks on dog talking buttons. She's beginning to go viral maybe she will provide more space for all of us. Cesar Milan says, a dog should not control their master unless they pay the mortgage. 😂(Paraphrased). So if Tuxn bossing me around every day on dog talking buttons buys us a farm one day, then more power to her.🎉Long live the 'Queen' or our castle.❤
Thanks so much for your process of change, Ryan. So glad the owner has your expertise on this beautiful horse. I love your videos and your training style!
Can't wait for part 2. Beautiful horse
Thanks
Part 2 is called How did I go from THIS to riding in 3 days?
Definitely a horse whisperer thing. This philosophy is intricate. I like how he’s saying we have to adjust our communication to the way the horse will relate to. To give them breathing room. I rode at my friend’s place in the wild country in northern BC(Smithers). His girlfriend raises Icelandic horses. I had minimal riding experience. He gave me the brief lesson in basic commands as well as mounting/dismounting techniques. It was so much fun. We rode for 2 hours through the mountain forest. Along creeks and meadows. I got to get him up to a 3/4 gallop. And he behaved wonderfully going through creek watersheds and between the trees. Very responsive and intelligent. After the ride I did the usual brush down and he came up to me and gave me a gentle head bump as if to say, fun ride 👍❤
What i found super interesting is for an introverted horse, i can see how busy his mind is and how aware he is of what is going on. Thank you for the video! Cant wait to see the next one.
This was amazing to watch!! The horse is beautiful and I believe you are the right person for helping the horse. I look forward to seeing the next phase of this horse. I grew up with horses as a child and have a love and affection for horses.
I love how he knows to end on a good note, so that the horse knows that Ryan is not a threat and he can relax, without worrying. It's very important, I seriously love Ryan's techniques ✌️❤️
Wonderful content again. I love your approach and attention to detail. One of the greatest things Ive learned from your patreon page is to slow down with my horse training, and to notice the slightest changes in say head position. Until I followed you on Patreon, I realise I was missing vital communication signal from my horse saying he wasnt comfortable about various things. Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge on You Tube.
I had a horse once that the previous owner said they had problems riding her. I had no problems when using my saddle, but after I used the saddle that came with her ,she started limping. I had my ferrier check her out and she could find no physical reason. My ferrier also repaired saddles and made saddles. She asked to see the saddle and folded the saddle in half pommel to cantle. Now we knew the problem. The saddle was pinching the horse's back
I love how calm and patient you are with him. Looking forward to the next video! Thank you!!
Aw it was so nice to see your quiet, confident approach. Since he has a reputation of bolting and bucking, I’m sure most of the people he’s interacted with carried a tense, “when is the explosion going to happen” energy that he fed off of. You’re so right, when a sensitive horse feels like they are not being seen and understood, eventually something will happen: shut down or big emotion. I’ve learned the most about horses by earning a bond with a beautiful, sensitive mare. Horses like him (and her) teach us how to be observant, respectful, fair, and patient. You showed all of that and more, it’s no wonder he surprised you by maintaining his composure. He felt understood. Great job!
Beautifully said! 💞
I am in the autism spectrum. It means a lot to me how you are approaching Scout. It means alot that you get it. It is soothing to watch how you work and interact with a space-loving introvert. I'm soaking it in, i can relate. Ive skways bern interested in teaching methods. I think you can probably guess why. I hope you don't mind my being honest and vulnerable.
My only experience has been with an established horse there for my extreme PTSD I'm so interested but my take away is the fact that you actually feel scouts fear or discomfort and allow him to recover and calm these are the same things my gypsy vanner at therapy has done for me that give and take the connection the ability to have empathy for scout and how he feels I hear the word liberty alot what I see is love don't we all just sometimes need to be quiet stand still and feel safe? Your a great teacher and you've taught me in a 10 min video how to have grace towards these giant hearted beings you sir are blessed and I am forever in your debt these skills aren't just for horse and man they can be applied to everyman or woman I thank you God bless and ps SCOUT you are a handsome very loved young man
So fun to watch your videos, Ryan! I remember competing with you back in 2008 at the Mustang Makeover in Madison. So fun! Keep up the awesome work, love your methods 🙂
It takes time and patience my dad before he passed away gave my 16 year old daughter a 9 year old stallion she worked with that stallion for 3 years nothing but ground work. No trainers would touch him so my daughter bought her another horse that was supposed to have been kid friendly and broke well she was 16 the guy sold her this supposed to be 10 years old gelding he bucked her off after the 20th ride broke her back in 3 different places, her wrist and her spleen had large lacerations on it so she was airlifted to a children hospital and was in critical condition on the 10th floor. 😢 her stallion watched the whole thing happen to her he tried to get out of his pen to help her and couldn’t, we got rid of the horse that about killed her and she’s now riding her stallion/ gelding now he was just gelded last fall.. ❤
Gorgeous Vanner. Glad he's working everything out.
When he blows out, and you release pressure and just be with him, that's when he LEARNS THE MOST!! The last thing you do is the first thing he remembers!! At least that's been my experience in over 54 yrs. Best Regards Ryan Rose!! From a Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖🇨🇦🇺🇸
I'm critical of a lot of "trainers" now days on the internet, but so far I'm happy with the methods and how in tune you seem to be with the horses. It was interesting hearing you talk about being introverted and him breathing more shallow. I'm introverted and always felt I breathed shallow, I'm curious to learn more on this. What a beautiful horse though and I'm going to see if your part 2 is out yet. I'm glad that you take the time to get to know the horses and don't just jump right in or have pre-conceived ideas of them and try to be a bully. Horses have feelings and boundaries just like humans, and a lot can be said about you for the way you approach/treat them. Love how you said there is a lot that we can learn from horses, wish more people took the time to understand them than just wanting them to be mindless machines and do everything 100% perfect.
Kudos to her. So many people would have dumped this horse. Like in any other profession, there are good trainers and bad trainers who feel "Training = abuse". I am amazed at RR's depth of knowledge. It must be a relief for these horses when someone finally understands them.
Man I love ur videos. You give me confidence that I will be able to ride my horse one day. There were days I lost hope.
Thanks Ryan, it always such great learning as I watch you working with a horse. I am a beginner when it comes to training horses. Love your gentle manner and that you explain what you're watching for and why it makes a difference. Great video 😊😊😊
There is so much to be learned from the subtlety and observance this takes. And what a super little horse. Thank you, as ever, Ryan.
I am very happy to see him really reading this horse well!
One day I want to see a horse who isn't bucking because they're frightened, but because they find it hilarious and are just busy enjoying their lives. Great that Scout had you to help though, he's adorable.
😂😂
My horse moxie does that not out of anger but excitement, but we use her in lessons and SOME KIDS use her bit to much and she bucked out of GET OFF but over she's funny
I think I have that mare. She's just like scout, so long as I'm on the ground. She'll pack anything I want to put on her, but once I step up in the saddle, I have about 10 minutes before she gets sick of that game and dumps me. Then she stands there and nuzzles, like she's asking "why'd you even try? You know I'm stronger when you get up there!" 😁 I've given up trying to ride her now. Her daughter is now my riding horse, and she's my pack horse.
Ive seen a horse buck not because of fear, but because he’s being an absolute brat and it is so interesting. He was penned in a long fenced corridor and would run up and down, and buck and snort
Same😂😂
Wow! What a beautiful and amazingly special boy. So much potential if he's willing to share with the right human.
Scout is a beautiful horse. I hope everything works out for him. I have a rescue also but you can ride her. Mainly use her for companion to my horse that I ride often.
Patience & kindness required... for all animals. Such a gorgeous horse.
I like the way you handled him...he is an exquisite animal. Understanding and trust go a long way! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. ✨💫🐎💞🤘🤘
Thank you, Ryan. I just subscribed to your channel and have already learned a lot from you. You make it all very clear to the horses and to all of us watching.
When the saddle first went on his eyes got sooooo big lol. This was great training!!!!! Great horse!
Regardless of his issue with accepting a rider, he is a gorgeous cob.
Gypsy Vanner
There is a usually a big difference in response and behavior when an experienced horseman works with a horse. The level of trust from the horse rises right away.
He definitely tightens up with mounting. It will be great to see you progress with Scout.
I really appreciate your empathy and patience. First time watching. I really like the horse too. Smart and he moves well.
Ryan slow and easy will win the ride! Without the ride being for your life. I think you are right on that people tend to not give a horse the chance to soak in what that horse should think about. People want a fast turn around. That is because that is how our life goes.
love your watching for subtle cues, they are so important. my young mare was diagnosed with 3/4 loss of vision on her right side. So I work on the ground with getting her comfortable with consistent sound cues so she knows where i am while teaching her to lunge. she's doing great. our other mare had difficulty going to the right, due to liver overload. listening and watching, they will show you their issues. i love
chill time, so much progress is made with this practice. sometimes that is all we do is just watch the sunset together, and it has made all the difference. thank you
When you're talking about human psychology versus horse psychology that really hit home. Great job of pointing out what he's feeling and thinking.
I think horses are more people than dogs are.
Lovely - thanks so much. He's a gorgeous horse, and you're a wonderful trainer. 💜
This was amazing. Your best offering yet. Thank you, Ryan.
Don't know much about training a horse but I do know that I like what I see in the way that you are being patient and understanding with this horse.If people would be more this way with one another how great life would be 😊 33:49
What an absolutely gorgeous horse!! This was a fantastic video. I am learning sooo much from you!
Learning so much from your videos. I’m very much a newbie horse owner @67. My Boomer is an introvert. He is definitely teaching me patients. Can’t wait for part 2. Thank you BUNCHES ❤
Patience not patients, Google the difference if you need
One of my horses is so much like Scout. This was very helpful. Thank you!
I love your work so much, thanks for all the transparent and clear information
I had a horse who I rescued..he was a ex race horse. Everytime we would get on him he would buck ..
We had x-ray done on him and discovered his back had been fractured in multiple places 😢
Sometimes a horse isn't bad... He was just in pain. Poor guy. We had to put him down.
Sometimes horses have things going on that we can't see.
What a delightful kind young man, a pleasure to watch you, from over here in England.
I am new to the horse world so I appreciate you teaching us to really observe the horse and the subtle cues they give. He is such a beautiful horse and seems to really love to run. He is beautiful in his movements has quite an elegant prance. I can see why she bought him. I would love to know his breed, he is so unique looking!
He looks like a Gypsy Vanner
I am impressed with your care, patience and clear perspective of your team work with this horse. Seeing this gives me more confidence with my filly Justice.
God Bless you, your training sessions and all that encompasses you.
Hugs and Blessings from Hope Mountain Homestead KY
I REALLY like your training philosophy.....makes so much sense. I have learned a lot from your videos. 😊 Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Enjoy watching you working with horses! Ground work is really important! I'm glad you express the importance!
What a beautiful traditional cob, I can quite understand why the owner wants to persevere even though it is likely that bad early experiences can never be completely erased. I am not familiar with the western tradition and equipment but the saddle seems heavy and reaches too far back on such a close coupled horse. I would love to see how he looks and reacts with a specially fitted Albion or similar general purpose English saddle without any dangly bits and belly straps. A sure show winner over this side of the pond!
He’s a really good boy! I love this horse!
Horses have inherent temperaments. I firmly believe they can understand our thoughts. Long story short but we raced standard-bred trotters and had a horse invited to fill the field. Our trotter Val Cross a almost 15 year old mare(her last legal chance to race) my Father spoke to her and she set her lifetime speed record and won at 92-1 odds.
Ryan, This was a fascinating to me and you are a pleasure to see work. Scout is beautiful, and thank you for sharing this with us. All the best with getting him dialed in !
He looks like he’s going to be a really comfortable ride. 🖤🖤🖤
Awesome video I learn something every time I watch you train horses.
As an introvert myself, I totally get you Scout. ❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful baby. Awesome info. Subscribed.
Every horse if so different and they require different methods of training. There is always room to learn no matter what your doing in life, no one has all the answers and if you think you do, you probably know less than a lot of other people lol. I love how you train your horses..it takes so much time and patience to train and work with any animal, live stock or pets. Thanks for all your tips and for the respect you show your horses.
I love Becky's place. I wish I could have been there. I have a Gypsy that also bucks but he takes to the saddle just fine. I think it is the pressure on his sides that bothers him. Looking forward to the follow-up video.
That horse understands English. I've seen it with dogs and cats raised close to human speech from youth. When he mentions 'blowing out' the horse understood the phrase and blew out. When he talked about 'riding this horse' the horse got a little skittish.
Puppies and kittens raised around people understand human speech beyond simple commands because their language centers are much like children. The difference is animals are mute so there's no feedback, and like mute children assumed to be 'stupid', animals are assumed to be of limited language comprehension. But those pets lie in corners looking like they're sleeping, but they're listening to words and sentence patterns like children do. I used to practice with a friend's dog while he was in Ukraine, taking it on back trails and talking aimlessly with it. I began to notice the dog understood far more than what I was saying and because he was doing what he enjoyed, and enjoyed my company, his resistance to being amiably compliant was down. For two months we played a game where I would give instructions without using any words he would know his entire life, and by his expression and eyes, he not only looked like he knew, but he also DID what I asked, even with very complex instructions. We'd go deep woods and I'd say something like: "I got us lost. It's too far to go back to the trailhead, so I want you to find Trail C for me so we can take a shortcut back." He'd look me in the eyes, drop his head down and then take off uphill in some direction we did not take and he did not pee mark. Up and down, through bogs and brambles, over logs he took me until I thought he was following some animal trail. Then he waited for me at the top of a hill and when I got to his side puffing he looked down the other side, and I could see the sign: Trail C.
An outdoor cat was a mouser in the wetlands nearby, and detested being confined indoors unless the weather was inclement. Her habit was she'd stand at the door and then dart out as soon as it was opened, as if fearful someone might try to catch her and keep her inside. One day I picked her up and flipped her over to look in my eyes. "There are two bald eagles out there now," I said, "and they're looking for you. If they grab you, they'll carry you off to feed you to their chicks, so be careful when you go outside this time." I put her down and she went to the sliding doors over the deck as usual. When I opened the door, instead of darting out like she usually does, she put two feet on the deck and LOOKED UP. Then she made a right turn under the soffit and keeping close to the wall and then close to the stair rails, darted into the forest to hunt.
This horse knows what's being said in it's presence, and it doesn't need simplistic people commands. It knows full sentences.
No
Make life enjoyable. It wasn’t at one point so now you want to be the best space for him to be around EVER
3 years? You are very patient! This is one of the times you wish he could talk! I mean there may not be pain right now but there might be the memory of pain. But, you already know that! 👍
They were trying to ride him too young if they were riding at 3.
@@peggyrhew1028 Breaking & light riding at 3 is just fine!
I commend anyone who is seeking help for their horse and to figure out ways they can correct what they are doing wrong themselves. Too many people give up on "unrideable" or "problem horses" without trying to find the root of the problem. I've seen too many people blame the horse and go as far as abuse/getting rid of the horse, because they can't accept perhaps they are doing something wrong. So thank you for helping horses and their owners solve their problems.
Wow I could rescue and rehome alot more horses if I had this place to ride regardless of weather.
I like the information here and that introverts (horse or human) basically hold their breath constantly, depriving the lungs of air and giving themselves heart attacks every minute we live.
U done really good with him
Ryan i really like your videos and how you do all of this. You do such a great job at speaking the horse language. We are learning so much from you.
Clear, perfectly timed communication so to eliminate absolutely any fear EVERY step of the way. The time wasn’t taken with him in the past , look what CAN happen… only good things!
Seeing him move into trust with you and himself around a saddle.
Thanks 😊
I’m very impressed with your pace of working with Scout who seems to have an ease with you, as you with him.
I’m going to watch you & Scout through his training, for I’ve certainly picked up on many of your subtle applications of technique and a big Thank You for this very instructive video.
My best to you & Scout,
Jane Russell
Well! That was a joy to watch and learn! I think you really said something about how a horse is good for us humans. Not sure what you can do if you don't have a horse, but imagination is always there, eh? :)
He is a beautiful boy, best of luck with him!
I think Scout will progress nicely. I like this man's slow and easy approach to this horse & his ability to understand the simple things that lead to the problems that the horse was having that others did not see, one little step at a time & keeping Scout comfortable with the next step.
I see this horse becoming a nice mount for someone.
Its amazing & beautiful to me how willing a horse can become when rhe handeler LISTENS to them.and HEARS the horse on their fitst attempt of giving feedback. I see how The suttle feedback is so important to be sble to hear!! You r AWESOME Ryan!! Its too bad he coukdnt of dtsyrd with you a bit longer!!
Leaving old beat up saddle in the stall with him or put him in the arena or round pen, put the saddle in the middle of it with a saddle blanket and just leave him out there hours at a time with it, sounds silly, give it a whirl. Reward him when it's all said and done.
My thoughts exactly.
I hope she gets back to normal recovering quickly. Good luck, sweet girl! You're already doing great! ❤❤🌟🙏👍
western wood tree saddles are BRUTAL..put a curved flexible Spanish or Aus saddle on him
I’ve wall theses videos and you have done amazing things with with beautiful horse
He shook his head yes when you said that that horse is smart I'm telling you he is very smart he's just been mistreated and he scared and feared to death of people they probably put too much pressure on him and no release
3:28 what a beautiful horse. Love him already, maybe because of that character. perfect match to how he looks. lol
