Training a Wild Horse in an Hour LIVE

- Freedom. All our lives we've been told that freedom means being unrestrained-no rules, no limits. Trouble is, we've chased that freedom, and found only fear and isolation. In reality, freedom isn't really about restraints. It's about meaning. This weekend, professional horse trainer Todd Pierce is going to show us-through the eyes of an untamed horse-what it looks like to leave behind our wildness and embrace the freedom that a loving God offers.
Special thanks to Todd Pierce from Riding High Ministries for being with us this weekend. For more information, see www.ridinghighministries.org/

Truly the most loving and beautiful ministry I have EVER seen. In my 44 years of knowing Jesus.
I think it was so awesome the way Todd approached that horse with love and compassion and how the horse responded a cowboy most of my life and I used to train and brake horses but back then we did it the old school way we sacked them out so I learned something great today something my heavenly father's been trying to instill in me in a long time and I praise him for it and I just want to thank crossroads for for airing this video thank you UA-cam for putting it on phenomenal thank you Father I just love you Lord and I thank you for crossroads in Jesus name Amen by the way I found a lot of that horse in me today I just thank you Father for the peace that you've put into my life today and how you showed me the things that I needed to see again in Jesus name Amen
And now here two years later, your comment touched my heart and spirit, Praise Abba Father!!! Praying God’s blessings be showered upon you and within you always, in Jesus Name, Amen!!! Love and Prayers!!!🕊✝️💞

Thanks for sharing 🎯
Many years ago, I had a colt that I was having trouble breaking. I had a friend of mine try to break her. Even he had a hard time as well. I too was using ‘ The old school way”. Had I known about this way of training at the time, I have no doubt that we would have had great success. It wasn’t until I went to a horse riding camp for English riding that I learned about this kind of training. It made me sick when I thought about what I put my colt thru. I had already sold the colt to a friend but when I got home I called the new owner and asked if I could work with her. She said of course. So, I set out to try my new found set of tools I just had been taught. I was lucky in the fact that she was “green broke”, and she remembered me. I worked with her all day and by the days end, I could ride her. It was an amazing feeling. I wanted to buy her back but my parents had already bought a Tennessee walking horse for me. I ready enjoyed the riding camp and learned so much, but it just wasn’t my jam. They ended up selling the horse and I was able to buy another Quarter Horse. My parents had a neighbor who had a beautiful black stallion. He was huge. One day I heard a bunch of commotion outside and saw this gut trying to ride him and getting bucked off. I watched for a few minutes and asked him if I could try working with him. The horse was tamed but the guy just had no idea what he was doing. He was amazed I could ride him. I took him out for a really long ride. I brought him back and I simply explained that you can’t man handle him. It then that I learned the guy had never had a horse before and he was so scared of the horse and the horse was feeding off of his fear. He had way more horse than he should had. I worked with him and his horse and for a few months and taught the guy how to ride. It was so amazing to work with him and his amazing horse.
@@Jana-TheCraftyGambler Jana, thank you so much for sharing your amazing and beautiful experiences with your precious horses!!! So beautifully humble and loving of you to learn a new way of training and interacting with these truly awesome animals!!! God bless you and your family!!! My love and prayers are with you all!!!🕊✝️💞
Love and kindness heals scars and wounds our Lord has the answer 🙏 ❤️
It's beautiful how you communicate understanding of the horse's fears. I'm curious about where this traumatized horse goes after this encounter with love. Your message is helping understand that God sees my fears from wounds. That He only wants my trust in Him.
Thank you for spreading this message! Letting the Lord work in you and through you!
Its obvious its a God thing...a Love 💕thing...quite Supernatural...very humbling...🙋🌹GA USA 🇺🇸👍
True words about our Father and us. Thank you Father for loving us!
The horse is so at peace with all that is going on. I can't wait to hear Todd and how he and the horse interacts
Oh my gosh this is the best thing I've ever seen!!! Soooo soooo good and such an incredible representation of God's love!!!! I wanna do this!!!!
thanks a lot for letting us see this beautiful encounter
I like that he calls the horse son.
I love watching
Wow. I loved it I have two horse to teach to ride 2 mustangs that God Gave me thank you Jesus 🌹 It gives me strength.Amen
Awesome job! Both with your teaching the horse and people! Well done!
This was a fantastic way to make a believer out of anyone that has doubt. The horse sensed his humble kindness, & love. Thats what we all should be doing toward one another. I can remember when we did ! God works in mysterious ways, so we must stay ready for any situation that arises.
Powerful testimony... through a powerful ministry.... thank you.... thank you... thank you!
I loved this it truly shows the Father's love and patience with us even when we are reckless 🙏🏻✝️
This was so beautiful, and powerful. I felt God touch me through it. Thank you.
My heart has seen the love of The Father in a whole new way. Having your sons with you brought an even deeper message. The hug of celebration between you touched me deeply. The lighthearted encouragement one said as he left reminded me even in the midst of my ‘messy’ healing HE has joy because HE knows where HE’S taking me! Thank you for sharing from the deep well of your heart. I am a life that is changed.
Wow! Such a powerful message of the love & patience of our Heavenly Father in healing us as we surrender to Him. Thank you, Todd AND Crossroads Church. ♥️
I asked my wife for forgiveness tonight and told her she can trust me with her heart. The part that hit my heart @25:03 . God bless you.
I was wondering where the horses go after Todd is done working and building trust with the horse? I hope not back where they came from
I was wondering about that myself! I'm hoping that he has big and beautiful plans for him!❤😅
I love you. We are very similar so it must be that I love myself. Yes. I've also been 30 years old for the last 40 years and I love your message. Keep reminding me. I'm getting a little worn down with this world and my inability to cope with it. ❤
That is training a horse in less than 30 minutes. One of the most wonderful things I have seen/heard!!!
This is so beautiful and so true. I pray it touches and reaches millions of hearts, bringing them to Jesus.
Sir
You've started the movement with your heart and passion for christ
Thank you ❤
A very powerful demonstration of the Father's love. Whatever happened to the horse?
I’m hoping that it didn’t go back to the same ranch.
Me too 😮!! I'm sure that Todd has special plans for him 😊
Wow, a message I So needed to hear. God bless you all!
Thank you!
Most powerful message I have ever listened to. Lord I know You will touch many many souls with this message. Hallelujah ❤
Thank you for showing us our hearts
Thank you all for an Amazing experience with Love.
God said to Noah, " Save the animals." Beautiful introduction.
As a child of God I say thank you LordJesus for your truth Amen
What a beautiful message!! Thank you so very much.
So so good. Thank you
Amen brother!
Wonderful!
It was surprising to see -after the horse had bucked you off- that because you didn’t scold him or you didn’t mistreat him immediately afterwards- the horse allowed you to mount him once again and was well behaved.

I found this because of a news story. There was no animal abuse here. There was a man who loves horses showing love to a horse.
@@JensenRiley96 Thanks for sharing. None of that abuse showed up in the video.
"support". I go to a diferent church than this one. I don't know if I could even go to this church. Were you considering my typing a form of support?
Beautiful
Thank you very much for posting this. I watched on Father’s Day. This moved me and very powerful.
wow this was powerful guys.. thankful for this depicting message
Does anyone know what happens to these horses after the show? Does Todd keep them or sell them or what?
People bring their horse to have them trained.
I hear you
Be leave it or not i know a few people that can do this with a horses But i know they only be leave in what they doing It bit like Monty Robarts He tuck a wild Horse out the wilds witch was not true it had shoes on And he said its the first and last time he do it. This man we see here as a gift it training horses. I wish him all the luck with other horses Thank you for this Video Mate True horseman you are Thank you
And even in the comments of such a powerful video the evil one shows up to argue.
This is awesome, question that keeps coming in my mind. What happens with that horse at the end of the day. Is it your horse now. Where it goes back to the life with people that don't know it's great potential?
Your statement that it was the religious that killed Jesus. Makes you sound like Pilot who took no blame, and claimed none of his blood covering.
44:01
This came on as a 70 minute ad while I was in the shower. Guys, as a fellow Christian please take me seriously when I say that one thing that people hate more than feeling like somebody is pushing their religion on them is excessively long ads on UA-cam. Like, keep it to one song at absolute maximum. That way at least a few more people will give the video a chance instead of counting the seconds until the skip button is active.
This came in on an ad for me too. I was listening to one of my favorite rappers Madchild. We are going through challenging times even that Mustang is. Love our neighbor's.
Just a thought....but perhaps God wants a little more that 60 seconds of your time. God is reaching out to us through this message. So if you want to hit the Skip button, it is perfectly your choice. When you are ready, in your own time, when your heart has calmed, God will share His Love for you again. You simply have to be willing to receive it. Another time, perhaps. In the mean time, Peace to you.
Are you sure you are a Christian? People came to see and hear him. They know what he does. This is his ministry. He is not pushing his religion on anyone. Take your blinders off.
@@thereddalek6513
Amen ! 🙏🏽
Very well worded.
Peace and blessings be with you. 🩵
👏👏👏💙💙💙
Yeah. Thats what i thought. This horse is afraid. Hes been treated badly.
I have a genuine question, the part where he says now he could take the horse beyond the fence and show him things that would blow it's mind... If it's a wild horse wouldn't it have been free in the first place? No fence is what I'm saying? Isn't he the one that put it in the fence in the first place?
No, not entirely true. This horse has been kept for several years and was stuck in the system....this world.... The history is hinted at by how many painful brands this horse has, from the multiple previous owners imposing their dominion on it. God, the Father, is here to free us from these worldly limits, and show us His love and a new path.
@@thereddalek6513 I mean I am talking about literally in the example, they put him in that cage, so the example doesn't exactly make sense. The horse didn't walk into the church on its own...
@@YourAverageReviews OK, yes, but I think we are getting stuck on small details. There is a bigger message here for us all. The Pharisees rejected Jesus for small details, like some of the disciples did not wash their hands before a meal. We need to get past the small stuff and see bigger picture. GOD is offering us His love and grace, if we can simply surrender ourselves to the Creator.
@your average review I understand what your saying but if @the red Dalek didn't cover it for you heres the equestrian anwser...... in what you were saying you were talking about a mustang in this video they did not use a mustang unless it was caught bye the US forest service and had been micro chipped and not branded bye the BLM (buro of land manegment) wich would be located in white on the left side of the horses neck but still I highly doubt that cause they would had to get behind a lot of rules for owning a mustang to make this video if that were case. So in this video they were using a horse thats not started ( trained )...... that means that the horse was never wild and was born in captivity.
Yeah, the logic is really quite idiotic. A horse desires nothing more than to be with a herd in a large enough space to run and play and to _be a horse._ They have no natural desire to be ridden or to have some “greater purpose”. They want to be horses. If they have enough space, other horses to be with, food, and water, they are perfectly happy “stuck behind fences.”
Out of all the analogies I’ve heard from Christians, forcing a twisted concept of Stockholm syndrome onto a horse has to be one of the most ridiculous ones.
Also, this horse was not trained. He was still trying to step away from the guy at the end of the video. He learned absolutely nothing and this is a very pathetic excuse for horsemanship.
...That's so cool.
"wild"? He's branded all over and not freaking out at all. The light, the people, the music, the speakers, but he hasn't tried to break through/over the pen nor kill you when he can't get away. He's untrained, scared, sure, but not at all wild. These videos need to leave out the "wild" clickbait.
Interesting rope. Black and white stripes like a sea snake... I wonder. If he were wild, though, he'd have killed you when you tried to get on him, just as if you were a puma come to eat him. What he really learned is he must submit to you, but you wont hurt him to get him too... it will be ok. Others obviously have.
BUT! that is a beautiful metaphor and I love how horses teach us of God, training horses (training trainers) teaches us to bridle our passions... and fears. I understand what you mean. People have tried to tell me I am wrong and bad because I don't do what they want me to. I've never been part of the "in" crowd. God is the only one I try to believe though. He and only He knows me completely and can tell me what is right. I think you'd like Nirvana Mustang Sanctuary & Kind Horse Training. I think training with that method helps train the trainer to really ask, not force, not push, not make, and, yes, not hurt another into doing what you want. I've been branded too, burned by those I thought might hurt me and those who I thought should care for me. God is not aggressive, He is not pushy, He lets us come to him, He doesn't burn us, and our own hearts burn within us when we feel His love. God is trying to establish a connection with me, I think we should do so with our horses too. As ever, we are all still learning, and learning isn't linear so don't worry about getting thrown off when you make a mistake. It's going to hurt, but you can get back up and find the connection again.
I wish with all my heart that you would cut the volumn of the music.
It is the Holy Spirit that needs to move our hearts not loud volumn.
Spirit, holy Spirit.
The words that the Holy Spirit is speaking to Todd that he speaks to us is priority.

still not sure how this is animal abuse. Great stuff friends.
You're wrong. You didn't see how they were treating this animal before service. I used to be perform for this church. They abused this horse and it was wrong Please do not support this church. They aren't showing thew before care on camera. They ABUSED this animal, it just wasn't infant of their audience. Please believe me im whistleblowing on this
Todd, your bridle was WAY to big for him & that 1st incidence was caused by the enormous bridal, too large a bit & wasn't adjusted properly, the bit was falling out of his mouth & the too large a bit was sitting in his teeth, not the bit seat. So, any time you would like to know how to PROPERLY bridle any horse, HOLLER, that's the first time seeing you make such a grievance error, you ARE THE BEST. I wouldn't get on a horse with a bridle the way you adjusted it, I broke 50 thoroughbred yearling every year for 40 years & you are the ONLY person I ever saw who breaks them just like I do, 1 ride & they are broke, I did have the help of the best ground man EVER. very Gentle, Loving, Kind, with every horse, then one horse goes just like the other, IF their bit isn't flailing around in their mouth. SAWRY because you are great, please don't make that mistake again, dangerous for you & for him. adjust the bridle properly or don't use it, rig the rope up properly, but that bit hurt his mouth, he did nothing wrong, you did cowboy.
Todd knows what he's doing. He did rodeo for decades. I am sure he doesn't need your criticism.
@@cherylfauth9543
Wow.
He couldn't have told the truth with any more grace,
which is exactly what God instructs us to do.
So I don't see why you are so offended.
We all make mistakes sometimes; even the experts.
The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, yet wise man listens to counsel.
Proverbs 12:15
Well said.
💜
Truth with grace. 😊
Don’t get me wrong I loved the sermon. But coming from someone from the Equestrian community. You can not train a horse in an hour it’s impossible. You will be rushing through things which will cause more problems in the future. Definitely should not have been done.
@@mechanicgray too much horsepower
Yeah, this was never truly “wild” to begin with. Unhandled and untrained, yes, but not wild.
The horse also did not learn anything by the end of the video. He was still jumpy and stepping away from the man and also reacting negatively to the tack. My mom made our family watch this video and I think I was the only one inwardly cringing nearly the whole time lol
The man set the horse up for failure and was not listening to the horse when he was showing signs of discomfort and fear. If this is an analogy for how god is with his people then the guy’s basically saying, “Hey, god will push you into trials you are not ready for. He will set you up for failure and call it love. He will not listen to your pleas. He will rush through the important parts of your relationship.”
He DID say this should not be done in this short of a time, that it's much too fast. But the point of the demonstration was clear. It was to demonstrate a point of God's love for his creationn. And he earned trust from this horse, no thing close to abuse happened. Of course he wasn't completely trained, that will take months, even years, he was started with compassion and to make a point.
@@samanthalightworker7955
Trust? Yeah, no. As a horse trainer I can confidently state that there was no trust earned in this video. Any trust he might have earned was destroyed every time he pushed the horse to do something he was not ready for.
For example - 50:27 If the horse trusted him, why did he flinch and continually back away from the man until he had to quickly grab the rein?
55:54 Also shows the horse bolting away from the man.
1:05:16 The horse is backing away from him.
1:05:43 Here, too.
If you want to preach about god’s love then go ahead, but leave actual animals out of your sermons-especially if you’re trying to preach about god’s love and wisdom while being stupid around an animal. This was incredibly stressful for this horse and if they know that it’s too fast then they should not do it. If they want to show god’s love for his creation then surely they should demonstrate it by showing respect to said creation rather than scaring an animal for an hour.
If you would like more evidence on how this was stupid and cruel then feel free to ask.
Wow. So glad you are an expert. Todd has done this for years and he is leaning on the Holy Spirit to work with these horses. Maybe that's beyond your understanding.
That poor horse. It looked under fed, and stressed out. There's lights, music, and lots of people. That's not ok
Suzy pops. Watch it again when your drugs have worn off. I'm an animal lover. The horse looked healthy.
@@Hamann9631 I'm not on drugs. I've owned horses. That horse is skinny. That horse was already trained to behave that way.
You don’t know the background on the horse or anything, he clearly said the horse had been through past things, if you aren’t here to hear the message of God, why comment? He clearly cares about that horse, you can tell in the body language between him and the horse.

This message is WRONG. That horse had no other choice but to submit. If it kept up a fight, it could have knocked over those fences, with you on it, and it would be restrained, and even put down if necessary if it kept up. Not to mention, this circus show is a complete waste of time, resources, and money that could be spent actually directly helping people in need. What a joke.
I feel you! I get what they were trying to do and I'm a christian but this horse is NOT wild as soon as the guy raises his arms the horse knew to begin to lunge. The horse seemed to ask to face the man a few times but he kept it running most likely to tire it out. The horse looks underweight and the whole idea of life spent in a pasture grazing being a waste or not a good life is a lie. A good pasture with other horses would give this horses life plenty of purpose. Was it awful or cruelty... No but it was not really good ether... just ear ticketing entertainment and sadly it's what allot of people want when it comes to both faith and horses. God does not force us to submit like that, aren't we glad.
Have mustang's in my yard daily. We adopted a young wild mustang named him Stealth. My daughter, 12 trained him and rode him proudly in our rural parades all through highschool. Her daily care and love for the little beast that God gave us blessed us all. Serve the Lord in every way, everything.
I think you are getting caught up in the little details and missing the bigger message being offered. This is not about training a horse to let it have a better life in a pasture. This is a message to humanity. It is a wakeup call to us all. It is a lifeline to salvation. God is trying to reach each an every one of us, to save us from this world and our pains. If we can calm down and surrender ourselves, God can pour out His love for us and show us a better path, a more fulfilling and peaceful existence, and hope for our future. Oh, and yes, there is a horse in this story.
@@mfisher7490 God didn't do that. You looked for a horse to adopt.
