I just wanted to tell you, I have watched a lot of trainers, that make things seem harder than they are. They leave out information, to sell you a gimmick. Thank you for explaining all the details of what is going on, you do an amazing job. I can really understand, which helps my own horses. I think the big picture of what you are doing is helping thousands more horses to become productive members of society. I hope you get the compensation you deserve, but also the horse lives you are touching is what matters most.
Thanks for this very informative video. I love horses but have next to no experience with them - it's the big regret of my life. I know nothing of horse training but it does seem to me that your calm & steady demeanour & voice is something these horses really respect & respond well to. Best wishes from Sydney Australia
I teach kids. It is the same way with them; they have to get their mind on what they are learning. You are doing a great job. Your techniques are sequential and systematic. No wonder you are a very successful horse trainer.
I know, the grooming part was something that stood out to me as well. I also never thought of what grooming may mean to the horse. That was good information.
Great channel!!! Thanks for all the great content!!!! He’s beautiful!! Why doesn’t Anyone explain much?? You are the only one I’ve come across that doesn’t keep us in the dark!!!
I appreciate you explain what you are trying to teach him. I can appreciate the time you allow for the horse to get his mind on the task. Also appreciate you talking to him some. I am paralyzed on right side, so I won’t be riding but love learn how it works. I kind of appreciate how horse can be elusive. But your teaching gets him on track.
Many moons ago, when I was14, I was given a 2 year old Pinto. My dad and 3 older brothers broke her to ride (and pretty sure not correctly!). Once she was given over to me, she became "my" horse and no one else could ride her. She'd either throw them or knock them off under a tree. She tried that trick on me, once, and I just stuck to her like glue! I had 2 issues with her, that I never could break her of. One, was crossing a wooden bridge, no matter even if I tried to lead her across, she just wouldn't move. I even tried blind folding her, to no avail, so, we took other routes. Two, and THE most aggravating bad habit, was, the closer we got to home, the faster she wanted to go! Our farm was down in a hollow and when we reached the top of the hill, she was off like a rocket! How I stayed on when we got to the driveway, is a miracle in itself. I never fell off. But I tell you, when we got to the barn, where she KNEW she'd be unsaddled, I'd make her walk BACK to the end of the driveway and back to the barn, about 1/4 of a mile, both ways. You'd think she would learn? Nope, never did, but that dang horse was the love of my life! I was just as stubborn as she was, guess we were made for each other! LOL! Any ideas where I went wrong?
Hi Mary. The key to getting a horse to not run you back to the barn is to go out and back a lot. They only run you back so they can be done and if you take away the done the the running back goes away. Thanks for watching.
Your horse is barn sweet, not sour. Meaning he wants to hurry back to the barn and get rid of you. When you get. Back to the barn , keep him busy , make him run around and around , practice backing him up . In other words take away his fun
Yeah, once they get into some bad habits it's hard to break them of them. As I read your post, I imagined what I may have done and I was thinking, I may have turned her around when she started speeding up when going down the hill toward the driveway. Or, possibly just starting her down, than turning her around to walk up each time when going down the hill. Just thinking about what I'd do now, as a kid I couldn't tell you what I would have done (I wasn't the most patient person. Thank God we grow up🙂). Thanks for telling your experience it gets me thinking what I would do in similar situations.
@Hazel Walker I never could get her to back up either! I broke a bridle that way. She would just go in circles rather than backing! Stubborn, yes! I swear she was part mule! LOL!
@October Jubilee oh, I tried MANY times turning her around and going back up that hill, but it didn't matter. I could have her all lathered up and her sides heaving, but it never mattered... I do swear she was part mule! LOL!
Hi Tim, I always get good information when I watch your videos, they all make sense and are very helpful! It is a great opportunity to observe multiple horses at different levels of training and see how you approach their needs.😊
He reminds me of my walker boy...same color and temperament. He was standing like he was going to his death. I do like all of your techniques and that you are doing it all yourself. That is nice to see.
I find your expectations of horses are entirely reasonable and your approach. Well I think they also sense who you see. They like a strong charismatic kind approach 🎈🎈🎈
I really enjoy your commentary and horse lessons. I wanted to let you know the audio cuts in and out so kinda hard to hear you. Thank you for your time.
I like the fact that you take it slow and easy, for both the horse and your own safety. Just wondering what's the purpose of the spurs? This is the second of your videos that I have watched and so far, I appreciate how you explain why you approach things the way you do. Thank you.
I typically have 12 -14 horses in training at a time and I work from one to the next. I'm not going to stop and take them off to do ground work then put them back on for the next to ride and work on body control. Spurs are a tool just like a lunge whip, bridle, or reins. All tools to get a job done.
I love watching you but it's to far away. We can't see what's happening with you or the horse. Film a bit closer please. Also your mic cuts in and out real bad. Still love and completely respect how you treat the horses. Thank you!
That 3lbs bit reminders me of the 17 hand Walker I rode with a 5lbs bit. He was a recently gilded after being a stud. Boy he wanted to take the lead. He behaved for his owner but tried to test me. I believe he needed a different approach but was just there to ride his 3 yr old son to break him in.
I have messaged you before but my mare is calm and collected under saddle and very keen on learning quickly'; however, when under halter and lead , around the other horses, feels she is the lead mare even with me who has established this ;position without fail; on a daily basis. When a horse slips back into the pushy state, how can we safely reinnervate our lead position quickly when the behaviors are sudden and every now and then?
I never heard of it so I just watched some of the videos. I do not disagree with anything they are teaching but that system as a whole is not help me in the competitive events that I work towards. However some of the techniques are interesting and I will try them and see if they work for me. Thank you.
You are right, horse behavior problems are always man made. The problem is that no one wants a lazy, pushy, or disrespectful horse just like no one wants a lazy, pushy, or disrespectful spouse. The problem is you can leave a spouse that but a horse like that has a grim future. Even though the behavior is not the horse's fault the only way to improve the future for the horse is to correct the behavior. You have seen a couple minute snippet of this horse I have spent many days with him, this horse is not scared and I don't blame him for the situation that people have put him in.
I like the way you train . I have a beautiful palomino mare that someone beat bad ! If you pick up a carrot stick she flips out , when you do her feet she flips , when you walk out to put halter on her she runs . Shes come along ways but still has issues, i dont trust her completely. Do you have any tips to help her come around ? She was abused by a lady . Thank you
Hey Laura. For horses with that history it's goung to take you spending a lot of time with her just doing everything correctly. You can't be totally submissive to her because then she will never accept you as her leader. Just give her things to do, ask her correctly, and reward the correct response with lots of praise. Be consistent and patient.
I have a big TWH who is just like this one. I'm too scared to work with her! She'll strike and try to run me over. I'm a 5'1 120lb woman and I think she knows she has the size advantage over me and theres not much I can do with her from the ground. I feel more comfortable on her back where she can't get me! 😅
If you watch horses battle for herd behavior size doesn't matter, size only matters to us when we get intimidated. Start by figuring out a little way that you can safely make him move his feet and expand from there. You don't have to win every battle, just the war in the end. Choose your battles wisely.
Please next time just put some subtitles to the missing words due to audio issues. It's so frustrating to listen to your very valuable and interesting info, only to be scrambled at the crucial part. Audio issues happen, just please put subtitles. There are plenty of free programs to allow you to do that. Kdenlive, Shotcut, DaVinci Resolve. Plenty of short tutorials on yt, etc... Your video otherwise is very very useful.
I wish when people make videos about horse problems they would show it from the beginning. I want to see the problems from day one. I like this site but it's like others when I hear "It was worse at the beginning" or something like that.
Unfortunately my 10 y r old gelding is the worst. I know it's my fault but I can't anymore. It's been 2 months of fighting. He knows I'm afraid of him and boy does he takes advantage of that!! He's the most disrespectful horse I've ever seen. He bit the vet, kicked a girl in his stall, both feet.. Kicked the chiropractor.. BITES ME, BITES EVERYONE... Bucks under saddle... Pushy with any WOMAN who tries to work with him. I'm giving up because he's dangerous. My trainer said he's been abused by a woman in his past... Could be. I don't believe in hitting horses.. Never have struck him... People tell me that's what he needs.. But I can't get through to him...
I understand you not wanting to hit him but he sure doesn't mind biting and kicking you. When you saw that what you were doing wasn't working, why didn't you change what you were doing before it got this bad?
@@timandersonhorsetraining Haha, I know you're right. Yesterday he looked like a pit bull when he tried to bite me. We were putting his saddle on. I'm over fighting with him is all. Thanks for your reply. Only had him for 2 months. Just afraid to correct him I guess. I've seen him get pretty nasty and ppl have slapped him and I noticed he only gets worse after he's corrected. Meaner ... Goes from biting to kicking... More aggressive.. So that's why it's hard for me... I'm too chicken!
I tell people to think of getting a horse like dating. You're usually not going to marry the first person you date. You date someone and find out you are not compatible you should move on. It's no different with a horse.
It's rare for a horse to employ real aggression without pain or fear, but, either way, it sounds like he's not someone you're able to safely work with. I hope you've found a way out of that unhealthy relationship of yours. The saddling story makes me suspicious of some kind of joint issue or saddle fit issue. Was he ever checked by a vet to eliminate health issues? If it's fear, did he used to do better in a less restricted space, either on a long lead or at liberty? What were the circumstances of the kicking story? Double-barrelled shot at a girl in his stall is pretty extreme. Why did he feel that much pressure, past abuse? You don't have to answer my questions. It's just what I'd ask if I was trying to solve the problem, but some things are not best handled in a UA-cam comments section.
Since this is a year old you no doubt know by now that your audio was really poor. I reckon you figured it was good enough for Government Work and you didn't want to have to do this program all over again with that horse. I'll make a suggestion in case you've never done this (I have not watched enough of your work yet to know if you know), but you could just turn off this audio altogether. And then do a 'voice over'. Basically narrating your actions. It would "save" this video and help your listeners.
@@timandersonhorsetraining But that's the beauty of animals - they get past all that and start fresh again, especially with someone like you who understands and guides them with confidence and fairness in a way to inspire trust and willingness!
Can't imagine why people would waste their time watching you. They could be learning how to establish a solid, trusting relationship with their horse by watching Monty Roberts. Non violent training through understanding equine language.
Monty Roberts Fame really comes from Shy-Boy and his venture to be able to touch and work with a horse without any pen in the wild as he usually dealt with mustangs and more feral horses. He worked much more on join up because the horses he predominantly worked with were not accustomed to being around people. He really started or pushed the idea of "Join Up" to mainstream culture. However a horse raised around humans or with humans does not act like a wild horse. There needs to be other methods as these horses are not afraid of people and can even be dangerous to them. It's literally called the "Join Up International organization" and he has a University for trainers and it's about listening to horses, but this trainer does that as well as he is watching their ears, eyes, their muscles tighten on their back or hindquarters and it's just not widely taught now-a-days to read horse body language. I love when a feral horse will do join up or even one that is fear reactive, but too much join up and not enough boundaries with horses raised in captivity can be a really dangerous problem. I always work on trusting my horse and them trusting me as I won't do things to hurt them, but at a certain point we are partners and I am not here to hug them and make them feel comfortable and they need to have boundaries or I will have a 16H toddler forever and that is dangerous. It's not about the tools you have, but how you use them as any kid who ever got swatted with a green young plant will tell you - the person didn't need an official whip to do damage and people harm horses everyday by yanking on bits like there is no tomorrow. All about how you use the tool.
I just wanted to tell you, I have watched a lot of trainers, that make things seem harder than they are. They leave out information, to sell you a gimmick. Thank you for explaining all the details of what is going on, you do an amazing job. I can really understand, which helps my own horses.

Hi! The explanation on the bit halter is great. No one ever told me. The grooming part and its meaning to the horse is a good idea. I see it now.

Mister you’re wearing me out I’m glad I’m not your horse. You’re are a good match 😂
Can you please tell me which bit it is your using in this video?
I'm sorry I do not remember. That was a while back, since then I've started trying to show the bit in the video.
"Poppy I told you not to comment on the videos!" I'm sorry sir my horse sometimes likes to comment on the videos when I'm not looking. haha
Do you know the brand/ name of the bit you used?
I do not remember which bit I was using.
YEs, please discuss the single rein stop.
Lazy, pushy. Disrespectful. Real horsemen know it's never the horse's fault. He looks scared. Don't blame the horse.

When I'm not filming I don't talk much so when I do talk it's pretty weird for the horses.

Your training videos are informative, but you need to be closer to your camera, and the lighting indoors needs to brighter.
No sound
What a shame the audio is so bad. Perhaps working closer to the camera would help the reception of your mic.

Monty Roberts Fame really comes from Shy-Boy and his venture to be able to touch and work with a horse without any pen in the wild as he usually dealt with mustangs and more feral horses. He worked much more on join up because the horses he predominantly worked with were not accustomed to being around people. He really started or pushed the idea of "Join Up" to mainstream culture. However a horse raised around humans or with humans does not act like a wild horse. There needs to be other methods as these horses are not afraid of people and can even be dangerous to them. It's literally called the "Join Up International organization" and he has a University for trainers and it's about listening to horses, but this trainer does that as well as he is watching their ears, eyes, their muscles tighten on their back or hindquarters and it's just not widely taught now-a-days to read horse body language. I love when a feral horse will do join up or even one that is fear reactive, but too much join up and not enough boundaries with horses raised in captivity can be a really dangerous problem. I always work on trusting my horse and them trusting me as I won't do things to hurt them, but at a certain point we are partners and I am not here to hug them and make them feel comfortable and they need to have boundaries or I will have a 16H toddler forever and that is dangerous.
It's not about the tools you have, but how you use them as any kid who ever got swatted with a green young plant will tell you - the person didn't need an official whip to do damage and people harm horses everyday by yanking on bits like there is no tomorrow. All about how you use the tool.
