- Many difficult horses bounce around from auction to auction.
They are labeled Outlaws, Broncs, Counterfeits.
But can they be saved? I think so!

Since there are a bunch of snarky comments about my very well trained working dog…Huckleberry is NOT chasing Gus when he is being lunged. He is simply following him. Gus is not bucking because he is afraid of anything he is in mental turmoil from prolonged physical pain. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk! 😉
Blame and accusations are signs of misunderstandings taken to the limit of an incomplete assessment. ☮
Huckleberry the DESTROYER . . . said nobody ever. . . . 🤭
I didn’t think he was. He’s been around horses for too long to do that. I’m sure he knows better.

👏WELL SAID CC
OMG, Lil'Gus's story is breaking my heart. He is one lucky little horse to have landed in your lap. You are truly a horsewhisperer of the highest order -- your compassion and innovation are boundless. I salute you CC. Thank you for sharing LG's history.
Yep, lucky Gus!
Great job. Great story. You are an amazing trainer👊❤️
Lady, you're an absolute miracle to all of these misunderstood beauties...
Your heart is so big and beautiful 😍 ❤🤩 ❤❤❤
They thank you, and we thank you... 😊
Love the words 're start'. The progress is wonderful to see. Those memories are replaced💝🙏👏
Sensitive horses in the hands of impatient/incompetent trainers really struggle to understand what is asked of them and end up labeled dangerous when actually they can be some of the most athletic responsive horses around.
Absolutely!
@@TheCleverCowgirl The great Thoroughbred racehorse and stallion Fair Play (1905) had sensitive skin and his grooms in the US understood that. But his owner took him to Britain to in order to run against the best there and somewhere along the way an unfamiliar groom was assigned to him; he used the old-style handful of hay and strong pressure method on Fair Play's coat. From that time on, the stallion didn't trust humans very much. He didn't race in Britain, went back home and stood at stud, with a reputation for being a hard-to-handle, even dangerous horse.
It's a small thing, but I like the way you say that you "ask" the horses for something instead of "telling" them.
Absolutely... Animals need to be allowed to decide how they follow our lead versus being forced to comply!!!
This is how I chose to train our spaniel... she's very easygoing and does not disappoint!
Animals unconditionally love us and want to please us...
Being patient with them while they learn is key to this type of training...
CC is spot on with her training...
❤❤❤❤❤
🩵🕊️
That's not a small thing, that's a big thing!
You did a great job on little Gus. It take time for Gus to calm his nerves but with your help he made it. Yahoo ‼️ 😊
I love this. You get a mule because you know your friend will want him, and you buy a horse to keep the mule company on the way home. You're my kind of people.

Your skill with horses and other animals is further enhanced by your ability to use time and patience as an ally.
As a 80 year old with autism I see your abilities as a clear mark of difference from most others in your field. It is a pleasure to witness your work.
beautifully said ❤
Thank you! ❤️
most impressive ❤️ keep it up cowgirls
And it always strikes me that I wish people would treat each other with the patience and care of good horse trainers.
@artemisXsidecross, Little Gus’s early repetitive movements immediately reminded me of some autistic spectrum behaviors. Additionally, his emotional self-protection, from being relocated multiple times, is similar to the emotional profile of many children in the welfare system😢. In my 67 years, I’ve learned that, above all else, consistency in how one treats others (2, 4 legged and winged) builds confidence, security and trust.❤
These stories make me sad. How people treat animals. Thank GOD for the good ones
I’m glad Lil Gus found this Cowgirl.
Amen my friend Amen
Thank you so very much for all the recent posts. May your grass grow tall & sweet but never hide gophers or badgers ! ❤️
Beautifully said 😊❤
@mousiebrown1747 - that is a lovely blessing ❤and CC and her herd certainly deserve it -- her horse's stories remind me of when I was young and reading Black Beauty made me cry buckets...
Nowadays, the only thing @TheCleverCowgirl does which makes me 😢 is premiere videos without warning 🤣
I kept checking the channel to see if there were any upcoming premieres -- is that notification a member feature?
Love this! ❤

I'm not a crier, but... Both Little Gus's story and your part in it brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad that Little Gus is safe now.
The idea of what COULD have happened to Little Gus if he had gone through another auction dismayed me. So glad you had. 'Eyes to See' and saved him.
@@jillp3761 yes…. Certainly he would have gone “there” 🥺 What an incredible transformation.
Gus is such a lucky boy to have such a patient and understanding owner!
Omg, girl, I had to stop the video because at the point where that beautiful creature started to lay his head down all at once I was sobbing big sobs. You are doing more than healing the horses you work with, which is monumental, but you are healing life everywhere with your big heart and bravery. Namaste'
I agree. CC is raising the vibrational energy of the world for the better!!! GOD BLISSINGS CC!!
Lil Gus sounds like he's a smart boy, who's suffered from people who didn't understand what he needed. So pleased that you got him and gave him the love and treatment he needed. No wonder that you have trouble getting cross with him when he is cheeky and confident. He's made such improvement in your care.
autospell? 🙃 We know what you meant, it’s ok.
By and large the horses have positive personalities. They tend to not be fearful around CC
@@sanibel3 Thanks so much ! I have fixed the terrible autospell.
Sounds like poor Gus had no one looking out for him until you came along 😂 Thank you for your kindness, knowledge and interest in fixing all the WRONG that these poor horses have been through. By the way it's because you love them that it's hard to move them along...I wouldn't be able to ❤
He presented like a child with Attachment disorder and lots of trauma responses. Five homes and lots of abuse would certainly do that!! He is so lucky you found him and giving him all the care and strategies to recover. Your work with these traumatised horses is wonderful.❤
Yup, he is not the first horse I’ve seen like this either 😔
I was thinking the same thing about a trauma response. playing with the hay net struck me as being OCD. I have my bouts with it too.
Gus just showed the world that every animal needs understanding and patience to shine Bright. He met you at the right time. 😊🐕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾😊🐾😊🐾😊😊💕🐾💕😊💕🐾💕😊
Lil Gus is a lovely previously misunderstood pumpkin. I'm glad you have him now.
Lil Gus’s story is heartbreaking - sensitive young horses like him need a compassionate trainer who can pick up on the subtle cues that are the key to understanding the horse’s behavior. Your horses are lucky because you aren’t trying to turn a quick profit on selling them.
Oh, poor Gus! But it sounds as if before the storm he experienced PTSD, but during the storm he "snapped out" of it and was able to behave calmly after! Horses are such wonderful beings!
Oh wow!!!! It fills me with joy that you give unhappy horses a chance to shine. How many others don’t get that chance😘
I love the mental and physical glow ups on her horses. It's always cones down to impatient individuals who are in too big of a hurry to "finish" their horses. So many are discarded through no fault of their own. CC is a good role model.
It's so interesting how the storm allowed Gus to finally see you and your good intentions.
Lil Gus the aspiring rodeo star (and previously damaged goods) is now a criminal. He and ringleader Stewie are the Breakout Boys! That conversation, the two of them had outside the fence is absolutely hilarious. 😂
That lil mule is a doll.
The work you do on your farm in Montana influences the work I do on my farm in Washington. I love that you use UA-cam to help horses all over the world, through the example of your knowledge, your kindness, your understanding and your compassion for all equines. Thanks, Clever Cowgirl, you are my hero again today.
Awesome! Thank you!
Gus is a good horse. It just took a clever cowgirl to figure him out. Also, that was a beautiful shot with the rainbow.
No wonder these poor animals are stressed, who do they trust?. Children who get passed around are no different. Who do they trust?😢😢😢😢😢
I'm not talking about your animals, you are great. I'm just talking about those who dump their horses at auctions or dump their dogs when they start to need help. It's people like you and many more like you that give these lovely animals a chance. I once rescued a 6 month old filly with one eye. She was a sick girl, but Gypsy turned out to be a lovely gentle girl after a lot of work.
Poor Little Gus, the repetitive compulsory behaviour is so heartbreaking 😢
It is wonderful to see him now, being his healthy, mischievous and happy self 😍. I also adore that you learned how to treat him, you are amazing!
🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆❤❤❤❤❤
Yay…lil Gussy. This will be interesting. All your horses have such rich personalities. I love how you encourage them to live their best lives ❤
What an absolutely beautiful story. A story of Hope and simply not giving up on an animal. It brings me to tears. God bless you and what you’re doing.
I love Little Gus's story. C C. You are amazing. All your animals are so ucky. I learn so much from you.
You are truly blessed with a gift for understanding a horses behavior!! I’m 75 and still miss so much the adventures I had with my thoroughbred horse, Royal. He was always so kind and gentle. I really admire your dedication to these horses.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖
Thank you Clever Cowgirl for the story of little Gus and your compassion and enduring patience with these abused horses. I'm sending little Gus lots of healing love vibes! May all your✨ dreams and wishes✨ be fulfilled a million fold❤️😊❤️✨
Thank God you found him, poor Gus. Your patience is beautiful to watch ❤
I’m seriously amazed at how well you figure out these horses so they are comfortable and happy. There needs to be tougher laws on people who abuse these beautiful horses !!! So thank you so much for the Equestrian you are !! ❤️🐴
Little Gus Is A WILD ONE!! His Transformation Was Nothing But A MIRACLE!! The Way That You Take These Auction Horse's And Make Them Your Own Is VERY CLEVER!! Good Job!!😊❤
All any animal needs is love and patience. You came and brought him a new lease in life. Bless you x
I like horses but know NOTHING about them. I have really enjoyed witnessing this lady's knowledge, expertise and WISDOM. Amazed at how she brings it all to life with narration.
He’s a Very Good-Looking horse.
I love your channel thank you Cowgirl. x
Thank you so much!
One more comment, I love your audience!! Everyone's comment is so beautifully expressed and tender. There are so many many beautiful caring people in the world and it is a pleasure to have found you Clever Cowgirl. And as one commenter stated, "you have a hard time letting them go because you love them. " So true. Namaste'
I enjoy reading the comments as well. Horses and caring people do make for good conversation.
Aside from your kindness, deep understanding, and knowledge of horses, you have something so many people don't, and that's patience. Too many people are quick to dump an animal if it doesn't instantly become exactly what they want. This horse probably had no reason to trust humans, and you taught him he could. Little Gus certainly came to the right place! P.S. The mule is super cute!
Lil Gus's story/video made me cry. You took a painfully tortured creature and brought them to a place of peace and health. Thank you for giving these beautiful horses a 2nd and really their only chance. ❤
Gorgeous photo with the rainbow!
CC. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Love your work here. ❤❤❤
So nice to get Little Gus' background. And so cute to see again the fence shenanigan's. Twas so funny when you gave them text bubbles. Seeing them again at that fence being naughty brought the giggles back. Thank you for being so patient with him and finding out what the underlying issues were and then giving him proper training to get him past his past trauma so he can enjoy working with you. Quite glad the tying in the barn gave him some quite time to reflect and realize 1) he's not in pain because the saddle was back and 2) this isn't the same at all. so he could calm down and work his way past the past trauma and use his smarts again. Yay.
Lil Gus is lucky that you found him. Thanks for sharing his story.
that haynet twirling is wild! So glad he is better now
I look forward to these videos about each horse. Like people, they have their own unique personalities, quieks, and traumas. It takes a special person to bring healing and wholeness to them. Thank you for sharing and teaching your audience. I really appreciate you and what you do.
I just love what you do. Take your time you care about the animals. You treat them with respect. Your family should be so proud of you
You gave Little Gus a chance to be sure of himself and wow - what a difference.
I know nothing about horse training - but it's easy to see that your careful, caring and thoughtful approach made all the difference for Little Gus.
Little Gus is such a beautiful horse with such a funny, mischievous character. He's so fortunate he came to you. Your excellent, patient care is giving him back a future. 😊😊😊
I think that story is all too common. Thank you for your patience with him. That is what he needed. You are amazing!
Gus and his mates are lucky to have such a thoughtful and caring environment.
You worry about them being mistreated again. You are a good mom.
thank you for sharing Gus' story, for being so understanding and caring towards him, and not giving up on him. you're amazing x
You and Little Gus got me tearing up.
Thank you for giving these horses a chance. For caring enough to find out their story. And being experienced enough to know that some horses have been treated so horribly & that sometimes what they need is Time. ❤❤❤
So glad Lil' Gus found his way into your life. You are just amazing with these horses.
Little Gus doing well ❤🇨🇦 Yayy!
Lil Gus and Stewie, what a pair they make. Thank you for sharing this story. So many would have given up.
I really enjoy your storytelling. Thank you.
I am never disappointed with your point of view and perspective. I love how you've really taken this guy into your hands with such love and patience.
This horse was betrayed at every turn.
I commend you for not giving up but sticking with him. I wish more people would do that.
Little Gus. What a sad story and what a wonderful job you have done with him. He must have been mistreated and he is such a sensitive soul. Thank you for sharing your journey with him. ❤
You’re such a brave and patient woman. Your horses are so fortunate to have you as their owner and mentor! Keep up “the good work” Clever Cowgirl…☺
Wow. Poor horse. So glad you have patience and perseverance. He looks like a different horse now. Amazing. ❤
I would describe the horse as strong willed and not broken by a series of rigid people's idea of dominance as control.
@@artemisXsidecross
He acts like he was a bucking horse in the rodeo. That could explain why he was always so wild with a saddle on. He was just doing what he was taught to do: buck.
I just love this story of little GUS. Thank you for taking the time to dig into his issues and to understand. So many of these horses are passed from home to home and never given this type of opportunity. You are a treasure to the horse world Clever Cowgirl. 💕
I totally agree. It’s sad to think about what that poor horse went through over its short life.
CC had to uncover a lot of un knowns just to get Gus to stop bucking. And I admire her more and more as I listen to her horse training stories.
She has to clean up a lot of messes from people who think they are horse trainers but are not.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. I love your narrative style and your empathy for all animals. Keep up the great work.
Yes, I had just watched the video of Lil' Gus' antics, and many comments had asked you to follow through with all the hints you were dropping about his interesting backstory. CC, you are a wonderworking, ultra-patient, determined trainer! I praise God for your work ~ He is the giver of all good things! Thanks for sharing the journey here!
I am so happy Little Gus found you! I know he will heal under your care. 🙏❤️ It's so heartbreaking when people give up on an animal. Rarely do you ever have to - if ever. I love watching your videos and listening to you describe everything. I am learning a lot.
I loved the part after the storm where I saw him relax with the lick and chew!! That shows how much he had calmed down with you!!
He is just beautiful... and what a fortunate boy he is, now. You do wonderful work!
Way to go girl, you have invested a lot of time to figure out what makes little Gus tick.
Thank you for sharing his story ❤ Your patience and excellent horse sense really paid off for Little Gus!
You are his savior. So wonderful to your story and love you have for these animals. ❤
Thank you for being his voice when now one else would listen to him. 😢❤
You are a very remarkable horsewoman. I admire your ability to help horses through their issues when it comes to humans.
Watching Little Gus with the haynet brought me to tears…that obsessive behavior that he just couldn’t stop was just awful. It seems as he was taking out his pain and anger on an inanimate object rather than directing his aggression towards you. Thanks God for your intuition and perseverance…you saved his life.
Wow what a story. God treats us like you are able to treat these horses. He never gives up on us either. Love, love, love you.
You are the bestest for this horse and thank you for caring for them. So proud of you!
Oh my. Little Gus's story brought tears to my eyes. How sad and miserable he must of felt and no one understood why. Then to see how happy and the trickster he is now, is amazing. You truly have a special touch and a warm heart to work so hard for your horses.
Thank you for your patience and commitment. ❤
You’re an angel! The humanity you express is so inspiring…sometimes I’m in tears hearing these stories, and watching the love and kindness you have to share with these cast off horses. 🤠❤️🤠❤️
I was amazed to watch this video! A week ago, a storm worked to radically change my rescue horse as well! I've had him 4 months. In 30 minutes, both of us side by side in the stable doorway, (he was free to leave) sheltering from a very big thunder & lightning storm & torrential hail & rain, he went from being a totally tense, over reactive 3 yr old to a trusting & much calmer person. He had been in several homes before, was starved, & like yours, had deeply fearful experiences of pain-associated training of several very different kinds & a savage bit. He has scar tissue from bits & saddles. He was constantly on the edge of flight or fight, jumped fences, broke through switched off e-tape, was aggressive with my ponies. He would follow me loose & lead, but was unsafe to be near outside the small yard if I asked for a few steps of circling. I think, in the stable he finally realised I had no intention of causing him harm, & that he could disassociate me from 'training' situations. I was content to lean on the doorway, giving slow blinks & soft breaths, offering calm companionship while he munched with a relaxed low neck. I think he finally felt safe. I've been searching for ages for a video about a horse with my boy's behaviour, & it's astonishing that you have had the same experience with a storm. Many thanks for sharing it, & for all the patience you have helping equines.
You live in a beautiful part of the world, thank you for sharing with us!
Wow! I love watching how your kindness and wisdom
Has helped this precious baby! I am SO Impressed!
Little Gus. Is stunning. I love his size and build. Thank You for giving him time and understanding. He looks athletic as well. ❤
Fun sized!
I’m a new subscriber from Australia, I’m 64 & I’ve been around horses my entire (I’ve ridden since I was 2 years old) life & I am clinical psychologist & I have specialised in positive behaviour support with people with developmental disabilities. I really love your approach with your horses, it is very much my philosophy; we compete in English horse shows & dressage. Your approach appears to be based upon identifying each horse’s environmental contributors of behaviour (pain, fear,routines, illness etc). One of our horses twirls whatever he can, that behaviour has almost disappeared since we treated his ulcers, although he still twirls occasionally-twirling appears to me to be a form of “stimming” (self stimulation) to self soothe his anxiety.
Love to you from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Some people need to snark just to make themselves feel better. I doubt they've ever been exposed to your level of horsemanship. You are on par with Buck Brannaman, the original horse whisperer. You are every horse's best friend. A lot of these fancy trainers could learn a lot from you like Parelli and Anderson, etc. I don't have the words to express how impressed I am and jealous too! LOL
Thank you !
Another great video showing the time and effort that goes in to changing a troubled horse to a more calm/ peaceful one. Very interesting seeing a horse behaviour/ emotions change. Wish the videos were longer, they go to quick when you enjoy them so much. Look forward to the next one.
I couldn’t agree more !!
You have made Life so much better for Little Gus and in His Heart there is now a reason For Hope.....
I am glad you treated his ulcers first. It takes time for those ulcers, especially the hindgut, to heal. No one wants a belly full of bees. PTSD is real and animals don't often get that taken into consideration when humans are working with them.
Being conscious in the 21st century is to include a level of Post Traumatic Stress. I used the name absent ‘Disorder’ as some feel to be conscious is to acknowledge PTS as a part of awareness and not necessarily as a disorder.
They sure do! His took probably a solid year!
Treats for everyone!! Love them all and thanks for what you do!! ❤
Thank you! ❤️
Oh wow I cannot believe people criticised you letting huckleberry follow the horse. I don’t have any experience with horses and I could tell the dog was NOT bothering the horse. You nailed the problem and have an excellent eye about what is going on with these horses. Please don’t let negativity change anything you do. You got this lady! I really have learned alot just watching you work these beautiful “cow ponies” 😅 I started watching because my niece lives in montana close to glacier national park and now I’m hooked. 😊 your pics are poster perfect. You could sell them I would buy one. Take care. Be safe and can’t wait till the next video.
So glad little gus found you... very special thanks. 👍🩵✌️
I’m so glad Gus ended up with you. You were perfect for him. He is such a beautiful horse. I hope you keep him for his life.
Stay the course with Little Gus. He may reward you in ways you don't expect now. Thanks for all you do in protecting 'damaged' horses and educating people about the real commitments one must make in undertaking horse care and ownership.
That horse is so lucky for you to have found him! Your patience and perseverance is to be applauded! Well done for allowing him to rest and heal. You are saving horses one at a time. My dream life!
Live long and prosper Lil’ Gus. Thanks for taking good care of him.
I’m so glad he wound up in your care!
Loved the story of Gus! I’m glad you didn’t give up on him like his previous 4 owners did. ❤
Hurray for brain buckets! I used mine every ride, didn't matter where I was or who I was riding. And you're right about ground driving. I think it's a good tool for any age of a horses life.
You did a brilliant job with Lil Gus. Your kindness and your willingness to look for physical / mental remedies instead of constantly punishing him was perfect. Every horse needs a clever cowgirl ❤
Your efforts with Little Gus are remarkable. He's come a long way. You have a gentle touch and a keen mind, and patience in assessing your horses. The rewards of those qualities are so very obvious. As for Huckleberry's behavior, I was watching more closely in this video and I saw that he really stayed closer to you. I didn't see anything to suggest he was harassing Little Gus. He's no doubt a good dog, and a smart one two.
Loved the video! Little Gus is so cute and the pack mule is as well ❤
