What is the story here with the videos of this horse being terribly abused? Multiple videos on you tube if you search the rescue name. ua-cam.com/video/XU1RYvX3ElM/v-deo.htmlsi=MFCIHJqfxN8HweDZ
Good job helping this mare. I had no idea the poor girl was abused at a RESCUE, horrible! The part of the training tying the leg up not a good idea for the sensitive, hot breeds -TB! I owned a 2.5yr OTTB 1 week off track. Very, very sensitive and reacted strongly to HER idea of mishandling. I followed Ryan's procedure but not tie up leg. Instead I put a soft rope on her leg, (one at a time) and I held it up, increasing the time and when she was ok with this I made her walk everywhere, with rope on one leg at a time even puling on rope when we walked. If I had tied her leg up she would have reacted fighting for her life, hurting herself and breaking the trust between us. I tried this with my first TB and it was horrible and unsucessful submission. You have to know your horse to evaluate the best choice.
Absolutely, you need to deal with horse in front of you and not get so committed to one idea you are not willing to try something else. Ryan says that all the time. And the point not to be missed is it worked for Ryan without the horse freaking out too much. He noticed & pointed out she was getting softer each time. And consequently, he decided not use the rope and he was able to trim the mare without it. When he went over how the handler was to proceed, he also did not include using the rope the way he did. In this case it was used because he weighed the pros and cons and felt the front trim really needed to happen because if the cracked hoof and curling toes.
I like how this client is so emotionally attached to and invested in this little mare. Any horseman could learn from Ryan, but this guy is starting out from a position of care and respect. Trolls would probably rip apart his technique based on a 25 minute video, but I like his energy, all I would say is he could do with just 5% less intensity and speed occasionally. But overall, this chap will do infinitely more good than harm
It doesn't help that he doesn't want to waste Ryan's time (explanation for the rushing in the video) I don't think the horse would've gotten to this point if that was his normal pace
I agree. I have not yet looked at his organization's website, so from just this one video we have no idea how many rescue horses he/his staff have to help each day. I'm sure he is dealing with a myriad of conditions and issues. I applaud the care and dedication displayed here. Kuddos for calling Ryan in as well. Yes this is a lovely little mare called Storm. I'd love to see an update once all her feet are trimmed.
@@Kat-zk6qyexactly, everyone would be different in front of cameras, a trainer they admire. I always laugh bc my best rides are alone and then in my lessons I’m busier with my hands and overthinking bc I’m wondering what my trainer is wanting or thinking. In a clinic with a famous clinician I’m a million times worse.
I like that instead of Ryan doing all the work and explaining, the client started out with Ryan explaining. This video will do more for people watching.
Matt, you are a fast learner. Great job helping this horse. I can’t believe you and Ryan got the front feet trimmed in the very first session with Ryan.
One of the horses we fostered, had been sedated for his last 2 trims since he had been removed from his neglectful home. He was very shut down so we put him out in the pasture with our horses and left him alone. Within a couple of weeks he started coming in with the herd at feeding time. With very gentle & consistent handling on his terms, we were able to start picking up his feet. A month later our amazing farrier was able to trim his feet without incident. Giving a horse time, space, options, respect & kindness goes a long way to earning trust. Trust is the key with most rescues.
It makes a massive difference when you go in with the approach of showing them you are willing to earn respect and trust instead of expecting it without any effort, they sure have taught me alot about how life works :)
Thank you for trimming her feet, Ryan, knowing that you can. It's amazing how much they forget this discomfort once the problem is fixed, and they are free to move on. I'm sure she'll do great over the next 13 years or more!
If I could give ten thumbs up I would. Great video and what I loved probably more than the horse itself is, you made the owner breathe a sigh of relief and grateful for your help. Win, win , win!
Ryan, I am so touched by this. Thank you for helping this sweet animal, and Matt. He really has put in his time with her, too...she backs very well! But what a miracle how quickly she responded positively to your method. God bless you for all you do for all of us!
Great work! I think that it helps that you're emotionally neutral in your approach. It's good to see that the trainer didn't let his ego interfere with helping the horse! Sharing your knowledge helped that trainer expand his tool box to better help horses at that rescue! Great video.
Answer after your questions: She really seems uncomfortable in the back legs when that front is picked up, especially the left front. She appears to be loading in the front. I think getting her more muscle toned will help her support herself. Her try is great, I think she is going to do great with continued consistent training and better timing. The owner is great and also is giving the Try! I am SO glad he was able to get your help. Once those feet are addressed and get healthy she is going to be an amazing horse to own.
I agree with what you say, we also had a horse that would founder in her hind feet (Cushings) and would seesaw weight from each foot to another like she is, I’m thinking maybe abscessing, horses can abscess when theyre given a good diet all of a sudden or they go through a stressful period to relaxation
Ryan, that was so great. I never would have dreamed this mare would get a preliminary trim in one session. In the right hands, looks like this horse has nice potential to progress to confidence. Thanks for helping her!
She has kind eyes ♥ She wants to do good, wondering what her life was like prior? Seeing her trust build so quickly is heartwarming. Matt is so gentle with her. Great video xx
Personally, I think horses all do better with lots of praise and touch. Which you proved with her. And practice, practice, practice. I work with wild blm mustangs just out of the pens but our approach is not that different. For foot training, I start my horses tied up and show them what I want before taking out them out on the lead for training. Personally, I think it’s takes away layer of uncertainty for them. I also release their foot right before I feel they are going to pull away. But you knew just what she needed. She’s a very sweet girl and so pretty. She just needed to know what you wanted of her. The more ground training the, better relationship under saddle. Thank you for all you do for rescue. I wish for this sweet girl many years ahead for filled with much love and a forever home.
I love how you explain and teach the owner too on what to do rather than just saying that they’re wrong or not doing something fully right. It’s amazing horsemanship
Cant believe the abuse that rescue put this animal through- the owner/family is also known for abuse in the dressage world....goes years back if not decades. Witnessed it myself in person years ago. Nonethless, you are the real deal. Great to see an educated individual do honest work - how it should be done.
What a smart horse, very fast learner. I love how she is listening to the recap by Ryan and seems like she is following along with the whole plan lol. She is such a good girl
He mentioned cantering her. I’d probably wait to work her until her feet are healthier and she has built some strength up. Lots of walking, belly lifts. I saw some tremor in the muscles in the hind quarters when she shifted weight a few times and lifted her leg so would check for shivers, EPM.
I have a video of Horse Without Humans straight up abusing this exact mare, there is a reason shes so tight and defensive. They round penned her, roped her around the neck and choked her until she could no lonher stand. She fell and basically passed out, the "trainer" said "i need to get a rope on her before she comes to" so they did just that and she fully laid over and gasped for breath. I have another video of them trying to stall her by whipping her, she freaks out and hits her head and start seizing on the ground while everyone laughs. These people are straight up abusive and have a record of doing so according to past workers and clients. The horse was bleeding from her nose and an eye. Her hind end is most likely injured from her falling when being stalled, she injured her right knee during it so it wouldn't surprise me.
I’m not a horse owner but I really enjoy watching your videos ! I love how you take a horse that says I won’t, to being a horse that says I will !! Keep up the great work you do be safe and many blessings to you !!
We did the same for our older rescue horse it’s surprising how many are out there and haven’t been handled and need the care but just not featured enough Thank you Ryan!!
Life sure ain’t cookies, unicorns n rainbows all the time. I have so much respect for you, RR. I have learned so much whilst being on your patreon. My horses have a great reputation for their calm, relaxed demeanour on our yard - and it’s thanks to yours and Jake Bierbaum’s videos on here & patreon. You guys are such empathic teachers to horses and hoomans. Thanks for,sharing your knowledge and experience so generously on here.
Outstanding video and the appropriate way to approach and release taking what she will give you. Releasing them to the thing we want is such a powerful principle. Thank you!
The concept of releasing them to what you want is SO, so important. It’s similar (in terms of outcome expectations) to what many are familiar with as “make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard” except with that, I feel the focus can mistakenly be on the “wrong thing hard” which can turn into feeling like punishment……waiting for them to commit to the behaviour you are trying to change helps stop us from anticipating and getting ahead of the behaviour, while ‘releasing’ them to what we want is very positive focused which I think helps us focus on the behaviour we are trying to get to. Thanks again for such a good example of how quick the progress can be if we focus on these concepts and our timing! 😊
@@jmmearessorry, no….”I” haven’t missed the concept - “I” get it…..I said it CAN be handled incorrectly - I’ve seen it (people who think HARD=punishment) …. I believe Ryan’s wording of this very similar concept may be less likely to be misinterpreted - at least to me, it feels like a much more positive-first approach.
@@denaross Understood, so what does making the wrong the hard and the right thing easy look like to you and what does it look like to people whom you say use it as a form punishment?
Wow! What a wonderful video! It was like watching a butterfly unfold her wings! We were watching a metamorphosis orchestrated by two compassionate horsemen! Loved it!
Great work, It's perfect start. ( and thank goodness for good sharp nippers) Being a natural hoof care provider, I've been doing this type of work for over 20 yrs from unhandled colts and rescues to barely gentled mustangs. She wasn't too complicated she just needed you to help her humans help her understand what is expected of her. I'm glad you noticed her hind end discomfort she holds herself very defensively, also tight in her sacrum and abdominal area. With a little more socializing and multiple conscious handlers helping out she will be on her way to being able to get more comfortable in her hoofs and body. Thank You Horse Without Humans for your dedicated work.
I loved this video. This man really cares for his rescues and developed a bond with this little mare. I agree she’s sweet and she’s trainable. She has had trauma but she’s smart and she warmed up to Ryan quickly too. I really love this little mare. ❤
Not a horse person here but I LOVED this video! I think UA-cam must've shown me Ryan's videos because I love behavior modification. Ryan does a great job explaining pressure & release of pressure. I also loved how the trainer was able to listen and implement Ryan's strategy so quickly. Having such a quick learner seems rare.
Hi, thank you for the knowledge and skills you share. I have been working with three youngsters, prepping them for hoof trimming, one of which is urgent. The technique in this video worked within three attempts with all three ponies and has saved me an enormous amount of time and the ponies unnecessary stress. Much appreciated.
My girl is one of the few that sis COMPLETELY ok with her hind legs/feet being touched and doesn’t like to hold her feet for the farrier. We are working on it and I’m taking notes here!
Hey man just wanted give you a shout out I really enjoy your content. I’m a mustang guy with three wild ponies rounded up and made safe solid horses . I really enjoy your effort with misunderstanded horses
She's gorgeous! I'm so happy she relaxed as quickly as she did. Your instructions to her handler will go far I hope. Once he slowed his approach she seemed to relax much easier. She will make someone a wonderful heart horse given the chance. I do have a question unrelated to today's video....how do you teach one not to freak out over a spray bottle? It was a losing battle to use a fly spray on my mare. She gained her eternal green pasture several years ago but the issue with a spray bottle still haunts me wondering what I could have done differently. 👍
One way is using water in spray bottle when it's hot- the water feels good. Then switch to fly spray. If you choose a time when it's hot and flies are annoying, horses learn really quickly that spray makes the flies go away immediately, and that tends to change their attitude. I use alfalfa cubes as rewards, and to pair with something annoying so they're distracted, which tends to change the emotional response to something annoying like spray. Use the less aggressive, mist side of the nozzle.
You can use this similar principle! You can work the horse (hind quarter yields, surrendering shoulders, backing up, lunging etc and then letting the horse rest and be released into you using a water spray bottle and spray AWAY from the horse! I stand a few feet away and spray repeatedly away from the horse and see if the horse reacts to the noise or if it’s only when the liquid touches them! A lot are scared by the spray noise too! So this helps break it down for them! Then I work the horse doing an exercise mentioned above and then stop and let the horse be released into me spraying AWAY from horse! Once horse is handling this completely fine, then I move the spray closer and spray beside the horse. Then I put them back to work with another one of these exercises and then keep resting in same spot with spraying water bottle each time closer! Once the horse doesn’t mind me spraying near them and they are completely relaxed I stand at 45degree angle so I can’t be struck if it touching them shocks or scares them and I’ll just spray once on the shoulder and then go back to spraying away from horse! I try to remove the spray from them before they move their feet! Just like Ryan said about touching the back legs, try move your hand off them before they feel the need to move away from you! Then I work the horse again and come back and spray beside them and then spray on shoulder again and take it away! And keep spraying away from horse and then spray shoulder again (just one spray) and spray away! If they get upset and feel the need to move I make them commit to their decision of moving and if they are backing away then I back them like in this video! Just remember not to get in a hurry when they do move away! If they move to side I move them over that way and then lunge away from the spot where I’ve been spraying them as I still want them to associate that water spraying spot as release! Then I come back to that sport and start by spraying away from them and then on their shoulder until they couldn’t care less about being sprayed! Then I move further down body So with-in one session they tend to be handling it pretty well! 3 consecutive sessions and I can generally leave lead rope on ground and spray them all over This stops any crazy running around! With them freaking out! If this isn’t clear let me know and I can show in a video 😊
Love it! My gelding has been finicky with his front feet in the past - think it was trauma from having previous acute laminitis/abscesses but just like you teach, any argument with his feet I would yield the hind quarters both directions a few turns and ask again. When he was his worst, it took 3-5 hind quarter sessions and he would stand quiet foot in the air. Keep it up!
The poor horse has had a hard life, what a lovely horse and great job by the owner. A lick would be handy whilst trimming and teaching them new skills.
That was so helpful! Learned a lot here. One of my horses often has issues with holding up a foot for longer than a few seconds. Will apply these techniques and see how I get on. For over I'm looking forward to picking his hooves 😊. Both horse and owner were great.
Great tips on backup for front and disengage for back feet, so many other little tidbits. I have one about the same age who wasn't handled till I adopted her at 11 years old. She loved to double barrel kick and contact something with her back feet when I got her. She's easy to trim her front feet now, and she'll pick up her back feet using a "stick" and a snap of my fingers. Now it's time to try your method down today. Thank you!
When they don't want their feet handled it's difficult to get them shaped up so they can be trained. Kind of a cycle. I've been trimming feet professionally for 20 years. I like to see this type of handling...taking the time it takes for the horse to understand. I've often even allowed them to eat tasty hay and grain as a way for the horse to associate hoof handling as pleasant experience. All my own horses eat while being trimmed. They try to beat each other to the gate when its time to be trimmed. It doesn't work with every horse tho. Some will tell me to they just want to be left alone while they eat and they stand better without the enticement. But these patterns and using ask and release with proper timing, and touching from the top down is a way more polite than as some farriers do it, reaching out and snatching the leg from the horse. Tactics like that are what sours a horse from allowing their legs to be handled. The kind of training we see here should he started with foals. Sadly it is often bypassed with many babies of late, unlike when I was a kid, hoof handling was the most important part of training.
mad respect to you ryan , I did not know you are a farrier, i have been watching yiour viddeo for years, i would love to see how her hind feet got trimmed too great video
Love your videos. You show us things that are crucial for beginners and also interesting and informative for more advanced trainers. By the way, your wife's demo of where to focus to release the pelvis was magical. I can't find that video again and I wanted to let you all know how helpful it was! Everything fell into place when I focused on the navel to public bone area. Thanks!
God bless you for helping this poor horse! I get so frustrated with humanoids who get horses but don't take the time or effort to care for them, clean their feet or have their feet trimmed! Do people understand that a domesticated horse is UNABLE to fend for themselves?
You asked what was going on in the beginning. In the beginning he was releasing when she pulled back. With your help, he released when she did what was correct.

I'm glad you noticed her hind end discomfort she holds herself very defensively, also tight in her sacrum and abdominal area. With a little more socializing and multiple conscious handlers helping out she will be on her way to being able to get more comfortable in her hoofs and body. Thank You Horse Without Humans for your dedicated work.
I loved this video. This man really cares for his rescues and developed a bond with this little mare. I agree she’s sweet and she’s trainable. She has had trauma but she’s smart and she warmed up to Ryan quickly too. I really love this little mare. ❤
Not a horse person here but I LOVED this video! I think UA-cam must've shown me Ryan's videos because I love behavior modification. Ryan does a great job explaining pressure & release of pressure. I also loved how the trainer was able to listen and implement Ryan's strategy so quickly. Having such a quick learner seems rare.
She looks just like our rescue mare and she had the same issues at the beginning. Beautiful horse.
Excellent..such a sweet Mare.they are doing great work.
Poor girl. Ryan, man of many horse trades.
Hell of job Ryan, that was great
thanks for helping her! Such a sweet mare
Hi, thank you for the knowledge and skills you share. I have been working with three youngsters, prepping them for hoof trimming, one of which is urgent. The technique in this video worked within three attempts with all three ponies and has saved me an enormous amount of time and the ponies unnecessary stress. Much appreciated.
This vid came to me at the perfect time. I'll be a patron soon. Gotta wait till payday.
My girl is one of the few that sis COMPLETELY ok with her hind legs/feet being touched and doesn’t like to hold her feet for the farrier. We are working on it and I’m taking notes here!
You are a gift to the horse world, thanks for all you do!
Gotta get that mental control immediately with a powerful animal
Hey man just wanted give you a shout out I really enjoy your content. I’m a mustang guy with three wild ponies rounded up and made safe solid horses . I really enjoy your effort with misunderstanded horses
She's gorgeous! I'm so happy she relaxed as quickly as she did. Your instructions to her handler will go far I hope. Once he slowed his approach she seemed to relax much easier. She will make someone a wonderful heart horse given the chance.
I do have a question unrelated to today's video....how do you teach one not to freak out over a spray bottle? It was a losing battle to use a fly spray on my mare. She gained her eternal green pasture several years ago but the issue with a spray bottle still haunts me wondering what I could have done differently. 👍
One way is using water in spray bottle when it's hot- the water feels good. Then switch to fly spray. If you choose a time when it's hot and flies are annoying, horses learn really quickly that spray makes the flies go away immediately, and that tends to change their attitude. I use alfalfa cubes as rewards, and to pair with something annoying so they're distracted, which tends to change the emotional response to something annoying like spray. Use the less aggressive, mist side of the nozzle.
You can use this similar principle! You can work the horse (hind quarter yields, surrendering shoulders, backing up, lunging etc and then letting the horse rest and be released into you using a water spray bottle and spray AWAY from the horse! I stand a few feet away and spray repeatedly away from the horse and see if the horse reacts to the noise or if it’s only when the liquid touches them!
A lot are scared by the spray noise too! So this helps break it down for them!
Then I work the horse doing an exercise mentioned above and then stop and let the horse be released into me spraying AWAY from horse! Once horse is handling this completely fine, then I move the spray closer and spray beside the horse. Then I put them back to work with another one of these exercises and then keep resting in same spot with spraying water bottle each time closer! Once the horse doesn’t mind me spraying near them and they are completely relaxed
I stand at 45degree angle so I can’t be struck if it touching them shocks or scares them and I’ll just spray once on the shoulder and then go back to spraying away from horse!
I try to remove the spray from them before they move their feet! Just like Ryan said about touching the back legs, try move your hand off them before they feel the need to move away from you!
Then I work the horse again and come back and spray beside them and then spray on shoulder again and take it away! And keep spraying away from horse and then spray shoulder again (just one spray) and spray away! If they get upset and feel the need to move I make them commit to their decision of moving and if they are backing away then I back them like in this video! Just remember not to get in a hurry when they do move away! If they move to side I move them over that way and then lunge away from the spot where I’ve been spraying them as I still want them to associate that water spraying spot as release! Then I come back to that sport and start by spraying away from them and then on their shoulder until they couldn’t care less about being sprayed! Then I move further down body
So with-in one session they tend to be handling it pretty well! 3 consecutive sessions and I can generally leave lead rope on ground and spray them all over
This stops any crazy running around! With them freaking out!
If this isn’t clear let me know and I can show in a video 😊
Awesome job to both of you and that pretty mare ❤
Love it! My gelding has been finicky with his front feet in the past - think it was trauma from having previous acute laminitis/abscesses but just like you teach, any argument with his feet I would yield the hind quarters both directions a few turns and ask again. When he was his worst, it took 3-5 hind quarter sessions and he would stand quiet foot in the air. Keep it up!
The poor horse has had a hard life, what a lovely horse and great job by the owner.
A lick would be handy whilst trimming and teaching them new skills.
Great job Ryan. Thank you for video.😄
Great video!!
Thanks Ryan😊
Amazing! Great job! Well done!!
Oh my gosh. I thoroughly enjoyed Ryan coaching this trainer through the exercise! So many new insights! Thank you for sharing.
That was so helpful! Learned a lot here. One of my horses often has issues with holding up a foot for longer than a few seconds. Will apply these techniques and see how I get on. For over I'm looking forward to picking his hooves 😊. Both horse and owner were great.
I love your expression “ as things get too western “
Great tips on backup for front and disengage for back feet, so many other little tidbits. I have one about the same age who wasn't handled till I adopted her at 11 years old. She loved to double barrel kick and contact something with her back feet when I got her. She's easy to trim her front feet now, and she'll pick up her back feet using a "stick" and a snap of my fingers. Now it's time to try your method down today. Thank you!
The fact that her hoofs have grown so long contributes to making it difficult to be balanced with one foot up.
When they don't want their feet handled it's difficult to get them shaped up so they can be trained. Kind of a cycle. I've been trimming feet professionally for 20 years. I like to see this type of handling...taking the time it takes for the horse to understand. I've often even allowed them to eat tasty hay and grain as a way for the horse to associate hoof handling as pleasant experience. All my own horses eat while being trimmed. They try to beat each other to the gate when its time to be trimmed. It doesn't work with every horse tho. Some will tell me to they just want to be left alone while they eat and they stand better without the enticement. But these patterns and using ask and release with proper timing, and touching from the top down is a way more polite than as some farriers do it, reaching out and snatching the leg from the horse. Tactics like that are what sours a horse from allowing their legs to be handled. The kind of training we see here should he started with foals. Sadly it is often bypassed with many babies of late, unlike when I was a kid, hoof handling was the most important part of training.
mad respect to you ryan , I did not know you are a farrier, i have been watching yiour viddeo for years, i would love to see how her hind feet got trimmed too great video
I love this thank you !!! I rescued a mare bout 4 months ago & am working with her hoofs . This is such great help & advice ❤
I like to ASK for the leg with a tap. Grabbing allows them more pulling back. The owner certainly cares and you can really help him Ryan.
Sweet horse.
God bless you
Fantastic training! Thank you for the education!
Thank you for creating this video I was having some trouble with my 5yr old to not rip his foot away when asked
Thanks Ryan for another great video.
Love your videos. You show us things that are crucial for beginners and also interesting and informative for more advanced trainers. By the way, your wife's demo of where to focus to release the pelvis was magical. I can't find that video again and I wanted to let you all know how helpful it was! Everything fell into place when I focused on the navel to public bone area. Thanks!
God bless you for helping this poor horse! I get so frustrated with humanoids who get horses but don't take the time or effort to care for them, clean their feet or have their feet trimmed! Do people understand that a domesticated horse is UNABLE to fend for themselves?
You have it Ryan ❤
I like that guy, he knows his stuff! The owner i meen 😁 Ryan ro ofcourse..
Great video!
Whoot whoot good job!
Training assistance plus farrier - wow! 😂. Forgot your Q…..
This horse is obviously in severe pain, been abused, needs a best friend and more carrots.
I had a horse like but she got better on her pick up now she is good on pick her feet
Awww 11:11 she looks back to see what he is doing ❤
Great job!!!
You asked what was going on in the beginning. In the beginning he was releasing when she pulled back. With your help, he released when she did what was correct.
Good owner!
Nice job!
great info
It was great relationship
brilliant, very helpful vid.
She is really pretty.❤❤
Fear of losing balance
Awesome video🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
