Love love love Sabre. I am a huge Arabian fan. Had one for 10 years. Thank you for taking the time that he needs. He will reward you when he is ready. Huge thanks. A beautiful Arabian.
Between your extensive knowledge and excellent horsemanship and Robert’s softness and ability to remain quiet with very difficult horses I believe you are the best team I’ve ever seen ❤
Agree ☺ 👌 I love his high spirits, and full of energy. I would never have been able, to ride a horse like how he is currently 😊 At least, I know my riding capabilities 😆 !!! I can't, ride anymore 😔 I have permanent spinal injuries, from riding someone else's horse, that I didn't know. That was not suitable, unless you were a very experienced rider. It was dangerous really. But, I didn't know that, at the time. I have a permanent spinal cord stimulator, installed in my lower back now. Very expensive neurosurgery, and the device was as well. I don't, hate horses now. I still, love them. Just have to admire them, from the ground now. From, Australia 💖 ~
Trust me it is… I have one like this it’s all hands on deck if riding him alone or in front. But if he’s behind another horse he’s chill and a relaxing ride. It’s a confidence thing. I have to lead if another horse isn’t leading him and it is a lot of work.
Sabre has a very good disposition and is just beginning his life as a real horse. That kicking up in protest of confusion will get corrected. Picking a fight with any truly green horse never gets good results. Robert did good at staying calm and firm.....following cows will really be a good thing! Looking forward to his process of growing up. Saw video with Bob and Bob did a great job of handling Sabres totally delinquent behavior. Only been a shirt time since Sabre was gelded so he still thinks he is a mister looking for a mare!!
Thanks for showing the whole session with Saber this gives a greater understanding and appreciation of what the learning process. Well done again to Robert this proves great horsemanship. 👍 ❤
I could watch that horse all day such a beautiful mover !!! He’s got a great mind it seems and looks like that gorgeous boy will do great ! Thanks for the video !
Robert bridling Saber.... Saber: "Dude, fix my hair. Looks are all I've got right now." 😂 Gosh its impressive how Robert sticks so tight with him dancing and ducking. Like he is part of the horse! Thanks again Malinda for following!
Love how you are working him patient but firm when it is needed..glad to see how you understand what he is.. some people say a horse is a horse is a horse..those of us that know Arabians say a horse is a horse then there's a arabian..lol keep going with him absolutely love sabers video..ok.ok.I have a preference for Arabians..and to see someone that actually knows and understands how to work with a green one is a treat..
I agree. Arabians are unpopular with many horse people because they are hot blooded and 'spooky'. But this is all very manageable with the right training. And they mature much later than other horse breeds. They need to be kept interested in a job, just as a working line German shepherd must always be working because sitting idle will makes them bored and difficult. Also Arabians are very sweet tempered. You can lay down beside them in their stall and they will curl up with you like a dog. I love quarter horses but having owned an Arabian from yearling to 10yrs old I have gained so much love for these spooky, sweet, incredibly honest hard working, Uber intelligent horses and by far the most beautiful movers on the planet. Thank you Tim for replacing the word Spooky with the phrase 'he just needs confidence 's. Your channel is extraordinary. Thank you from Canada. Sabre has really piqued my interest.
I’ll have to look up sabres back story now that I’ve seen this. What a beautiful looking Arab but so explosive!! Wow 😲 Robert, you’re like part of the horse the way you sit him, I’ve never seen such great contact, and good hands. I’m intrigued now so will keep watching. Well done both of you. 😊
@8:54, "Do you see the cat?" Actually, I heard the cat earlier. So did my 4 dogs. They all sprang from their respective lounging spots with amazing speed and tore down the stairs, barking, snarling, and growling. The doggie door may have suffered some damage, Thanks, Tim. I once boarded at a barn where several of the horses had never encountered a donkey or mule. Including my own. We discovered this when a little Sicilian Donkey came to the barn. The horses were quite positive that this was some form of Mountain Lion and their lives were in imminent danger. This became known as Assaphobia Syndrome.
My horse had a similar reaction the first time he saw a camel. It was at the county fair where he was a 4-H horse. The camel’s color and smell were bad enough, but what really freaked him out is when he saw a camel who was lying down get up hindquarters first, like cows do. He knew it wasn’t a horse, but what it was, he did not know and was not keen on finding out.
@@fleetskipper1810 Wow! Yes, when I stood next to a camel on a visit to Cyprus, its smell alone was enough to gag me! Can't imagine how bizarre for your horse: smell, colour AND backwards-getting-up! 😱
@@fleetskipper1810 Riding by a familiar farm that had suddenly brought in a flock of ostriches can cause a pleasant trail ride to become an insta-rodeo, as well. At least they didn't smell or spit.
I feel like Sabor is just this big kid who has never seen the world before and yall are giving him the confidence to get out there. I love watching his story. Awesome job !!
This is good horsemanship! Robert was in balance with the horse through all the leping around offering calm leadership .I don't often get to see anything like this.(more often than not, it's turned into a wreck or a fight.) For sure this horse is a super athlete, and i shell enjoy learning more watching you both work him😀😀😀🐎🐎🐎🐎
I love Sabres TRY. Even though a lot of things shake him up he is committed to working through them without throwing his rider off. He clearly loves Robert and Robert loves him. Great horsemanship and control of emotions. One can tell Robert also gets a kick out of working with Saber even though it’s hard work it is always transformative for horse and rider. Thank you so much for sharing! One of the best parts was him stopping to stare right into the “face” of the new sign in the arena ! 🤣🤣🤣 almost as if he was trying to read what it said. Thank you always for the videos and wisdom Tim!
It’s hard when they find something to be scared of every ride. I rode in a show where it had rained the previous 4 days. The biggest puddle in the arena was about 2 strides in front of x. I halted saluted & my horse jumped the puddle with lots of room to spare. The judge’s comments were that we should have come earlier for the 1/2 Arab jumping. He would have been amazing in the jumping. Not so much in the dressage court. Have a great day. Love the content. You all are amazing!
I wouldn't say, he was a fruitcake. He just was gelded, at a late age. Has had little interaction with the outside world, nor the company of other horses. In a new environment, with new people handling him. A stable, full of other horses. Never seen, cow's before. Some pure bred Arabians (like he is), can be like this in the beginnings. They are hyperalert, intelligent, high energy, but willing to do their best for you. They often settle down with training, age, and more experiences in the new world. With an experienced, and confident rider. If anyone can help him, then Tim can ☺
A very spooky high energy horse ,,scared of practically everything ,,i hope his owner has bags of confidence and experience ,,or all your work will go to heck in a heartbeat , 😮
It only took a few minutes to get Saber tacked up, but when it’s you going around in circles it feels like hours. I’m really tuning into how patient you both are. I think I’m patient, but Robert is a saint. I need to take a lesson from how he stays cool and just keeps with it. Thanks for showing the whole process and talking about your strategies to help Saber focus. Very helpful.
Not me being extremly impressed with Robert and his patience and riding skills. You are amazing at what you do! Both of you. Thank you for all you share, absolutley love it ❤
Had a hackney/arab/tb/welsh cob cross once, very similar attitude to this. He had frightened 6 riders before me. He had learned to rear and spin. That horse taught me much, and turned into a great eventer. Jumping gave him a job. He had the athleticism to jump himself out of any difficulty he faced, even from a standstill if need be. He never gave up his antics, but I learned to go with him. I had to sit with my right hip lower as he would always spin to the near side in a panic. I often wondered if previous riders did what your son-in-law is doing and turned him to the left every time? I notice when Sabre plays up, Robert circles him to the near side (left) instead of mixing the directions up.
My gelding is like this at 18, so you just get used to it?? I didn’t ride him much because I preferred my other Arab that only went sideways. But now he’s too old to ride and I’m stuck on Mr Spaz Rocket who like saber like to kick out, jump and spin much more flamboyant about it. A much more intense experience. Does it get easier to ride?
@@googlamonster5086I feel I've seen that spinal stripe somewhere before on cattle - but what fascinates me with that one is his white belly, which extends into white 'stocking tops' and look as if they're holding up long black stockings! There are also two which are white, but with grey-shading-to-black necks and heads, and a little spotting on the shoulders and flanks. Very distinctive and I feel I've seen that sort of colouration also, on cattle in parts of Africa, India and Sri Lanka. I wonder if those two have some zebu or brahmin ancestry?
Robert tou do great work, Saber deally tests tour sit! Saber brings back so mNy memories of my stud Arab El Citar. He waa a true dancer lije Saber, .ud j Holes, baths, signs where there were none, cows, other horses, and even trees! Tim you are so correct Arabs come out of the box excited! But very smart saber shows that wgen ge is excited but he really wants to listrn to his rider. Patience, clam but frim and steady. You and Robert are all those things thanks for these videos so enjoying them❤
Training saves horses from kill pens. Y’all are giving him a new lease on life. The work the team does is fantastic, thank you for putting quality hours of work into horses.
Robert is a very good rider and I appreciate his gentleness with Saber. I am the 77 yr old lady that has owned 6 Arabians (one at a time), and you won't agree with me , but My Arabians have done so much better and I feel are safer if I let them run in the pen when they are frisky and high energy ( every day) . It seems to get them ready to think and do what I ask if they let off some of that steam first. After they run and buck , then I work or ride them and their mind is engaged instead of them needing to let loose all that energy. The horse I have now is a lot like Saber--high energy and reactive. I have worked with him a lot and he is now able to stand to be mounted and even stand still for 15 min or more when I stop on our walks ( me leading him). He has come a very long way, but still has some holes. Boy can I relate to riding that reactive spooky horse !!! I appreciate your videos and have learned a lot ! Thank you.
I always had to free lunge mine first to get the bucks out, no they weren’t tired after just ready to think instead off burn off steam spooking just cuz.. unless we were heading straight up hill, hills are the best ride the hot sauce right up the mountain!
2:43 I sure miss riding Arabs - had them all my life but my last on retired so I opted for a Rocky Mountain mare (no more bouncy bouncy 😂) I'm 81 and a Rocky is just what I needed
Great job!!! The way Saber moved when the cows were in the arena reminded me of my 5 months old puppy Perla when she's close to cows. Yes, I noticed the cat, not only when you mentioned it, but also earlier in the video I heard it 😻
Saber reminds me of my first horse. An explosion waiting to happen. A bird flying by would set her off. She was Hackney/Thoroughbred and grandmother bought her for me when I was 15 and the horse was 6. That mare taught me how to stick to that english saddle,,,,eventually. LOL robert is a brave man.
5:17 my primary Arab was 4 when I got him, 4 or 5 rides on him, never been off of the property where he was born - what a ride, but lots of rides and he'd go anywhere, do anything- trust
HI TIM.....I remember Saber from other videos. I am not fond of the Arabian personality (too flighty) but Saber sure is a Pretty Thing!! I like a nice, well trained, quiet quarter horse! I noticed that new cow, the black & white one (when moving, the white looks like a skirt ruffling). very pretty cow! I like horses from the "sidelines" now......"too long in the tooth" to participate, but really enjoy watching still! Thanks for sharing & God bless,,,,😊❤😮❤😊
I love how Robert deals with him. Kudos to Robert. So Arab with his reaction to the banner, I heard the cat , did not see him. Mud was an issue for my half Arab for a while til one day he decide that he may want to gdt doen and roll in it while we was on trail, he was hot and sweaty and it seems like a good idea to him. I had to jump off and kick him in the belly before he got my saddle covered, he was down on his knees, after that he was ok with it! Also, he was bred on a ranch so knew cows, but the first few times I had to ride him last a llama farm OMG!! I saw 4 homophones that I noticed right away, but I have seen several different spellings for Saber, So not sure if that the one or not? Great video, thanks guys!!!
😂😂. Thanks for the interaction!! It’s Sabre, but the misspelling in the video was not intentional. There was a little confusion on the correct spelling;)
Saber cracked me up today. He'll get better and be a really good horse, I think. I also wondered if Robert was going to take over your training business one day. With his natural calmness and seat, as well as your wisdom, he'd be great whenever you think it's time to retire.
Your whole staff is GREAT. I’m always awed at this channel. You always keep the main thing, the main thing. You’re always orderly and don’t push past unresolved issues. Much Respect!
I love your videos. They are so calming! And I'm learning so much about what my friend goes through when training and gentling her horses. Nothing you do is boring. And Bob is a hoot.
I learn more from watching this than most anything else. i saw where he firmed up and when. I saw the horse was moving around but he wasnt scared or frustrated. yes he was uncertain about the cows but he wasnt feeling pushed or anything.
Love your training methods, I'm a75yr old woman, been riding for about 56yrs, and can still learn a lot from your methods, love watching 👀 from Jackson County Missouri I currently have a 24yr quarter horse, still ride, an have my own horses 🐎 for 56yrs just love horses , my true passion. Keep up the videos!!!!😊 21:16 lynn75
This technique works well for horse-shy horses. I have a gelding that was dangerously horse shy. Once I presented the idea of “ herding” the horse that was a problem for him, he’d get over it, and we could continue the ride without him jumping out of his skin!
Thank you very much. Another fantastic example. I have similar young filly that is scared of everything outside arena. Cows! Ahh God. Same thing. Lots of work on the front of us. Thank you for helping tutorials. Kind regards from the other side of Atlantic ❤
Wonderful progress on Saber's part, and guided by two kind, experienced and empathetic horsemen. Well done! I have to add, though, that I've met and ridden a few Arabs who were not spooky, crazy or otherwise anything like this fellow. I know they often are, but a life lived without impatience and plenty of time to adjust to new situations means an Arab can be just as steady and reliable as any other horse. My favorite mare (not mine but a friend's) was purebred, an accidental cross between Polish and Egyptian, who was suitable for a child to ride, was great for me with my moderate experience, and phenomenal for my friend who has done all kinds of riding including polo and long distance riding. Even when she was stung by hornets and was spinning and trying to go backwards up a tree to escape them she never once got out from under me or tried to buck me off. And when we were able to get down the trail a bit she quieted down immediately. They are just very sensitive and generally extremely intelligent, and most people don't get that. You two obviously do!
They rarely get broncy and try and get you off, just get really excited and flamboyant which takes quite a seat to stay on. But they aren’t trying to get you off.
@@timandersonhorsetraining LOL! Yes! They are very flexible and can be super wiggly! Luckily, the ones I've ridden knew I couldn't handle that very well and were quite sedate, for the most part. :D
@@timandersonhorsetraining nice description I call them hoverboards I love the light squirrely feel under me I just prefer to stop the explosions. I can handle the lateral stuff it’s fun but when they get kicking out or exploding up I’d rather shut that down.
He is doing a good job with this Arabian. A bitless sidepull would perhaps be better and help him to be more relaxed and trusting not having pain in his mouth in addition to his fearfulness.
Boy he is scared of his shadow and everything else.,Kudos to you for dealing with such a hyperactive and very difficult Arabian. Give me a big stocky steady calm QH or QH/draft cross any day. Some dogs that people got during Covid are this way-never leave the house and backyard and never properly socialized so end up severely anxious, with separation anxiety and hyperreactive toward strangers. Keep up the good work on your channel.
Robert is an amazingly confident rider on an overstimulated hyperactive horse. Sabre just needs exposure to the world and Robert is the rider he needs. I always learn something from your videos watching leadership technique in action. I think Sabre will be a long term project and am looking forward to seeing him develop into a fine riding horse no matter what discipline. Please allow me to make a suggestion. Sabre is clever moving sideways. He's quick and agile and to this point he's not hit himself. It's only a matter of time and he'll sustain an impact injury so please consider putting a protective boot on him front and back. I know some trainers say they'll learn not to hit themselves, but accidents happen. The least of which is a nicked coronet band, but a swollen bruise on his fetlock, or a suspensory branch injury will lay him up for a long time at considerable cost. He's a valuable horse and I think worth the extra effort to protect him from himself at this point in his training.
My Arab gelding is super flamboyant like this and he has a splint from it. They can even do it at pasture, he’s just so animated. He was lame for a couple weeks but now it’s just cosmetic.
Wouldn't it be easier to saddle a horse in a stall! When I had riding lessons, I got the horse out of paddock. Used bribery to get it, an apple. While it ate it, I put halter on, brought horse to stall & brushed it & saddled him/her. The lovely horse stood still for me. It would turn & look @ me sometimes. I talked to the horse. I walked the horse into yard & then got up on it & went into training arena! After the training, I unsaddled it & brushed it down & gave the animal an apple again to say thks. Sometimes we'd go outside & walk, trot, canter horse along tracks & beside the roads & go over little jumps & logs. [From an Aussie 🇦🇺]
My 18 year old Arab acts just like this on occasion usually at the end of a ride. Robert just rides itout and doesn’t get after him much. I haven’t decided if I should correct my horse or just ride it out and ignore it.
@@timandersonhorsetraining thanks… what do you do to discipline such behavior? I spin him, should I check him hard in the mouth quickly or use spurs? He’ll respect me if I cause him pain like he respects my horned cow who pokes him. I’ve just never had a horse that needs strong reprimand or I’ve never wanted to. I do on the ground but I’m a bit more gentle on top and I need to get much more aggressive or it’s only going to get worse.
Beautiful on the outside, hopelessly scrambled in the head. I don’t foresee a positive outcome with this one, but I do hope you prove me wrong. Also, great job Robert 👍🏼
This is fun to watch. Well done Robert. Do you lean back in your seat to give him pressure on his back more? Or is it just to keep you deep in the seat if he flips out.
When working with animals you cannot set a time limit. That is why you NEED a professional. Many owners don't have the patience to get it done and lose their temperature. That does no good.

A hell of a rider, Robert. Wow
LOVE the Saber videos!!! Robert rides like he's got super glue in the saddle.
Yep around here we call that sticky lol
You mentioned his owner wanted to trail ride him. Here's hoping we get to see him take on the Tevis with all that energy.
That horse looks exhausting to ride. I'm looking forward to see how he improves.
Trust me it is… I have one like this it’s all hands on deck if riding him alone or in front. But if he’s behind another horse he’s chill and a relaxing ride. It’s a confidence thing. I have to lead if another horse isn’t leading him and it is a lot of work.
What a job. Robert is phenomenal.
Quiet, calm and very aware of each time Saber begins to react so he catches it be fore it escalates. Saber’s reaction show the beginnning of trust.
Love that animal it’s just a stunning specimen. Robert is a master rider 🙌
Cow is pretty too
Saber is a typical Arabian. One reason I love the breed !!
Thank you, Tim and Robert, for every reminder of the importance of patience and leadership.
Robert, you sure sit horse nicely. Saber has led a sheltered life, and you’re the perfect rider to educate him.
Sabre has a very good disposition and is just beginning his life as a real horse. That kicking up in protest of confusion will get corrected. Picking a fight with any truly green horse never gets good results. Robert did good at staying calm and firm.....following cows will really be a good thing! Looking forward to his process of growing up. Saw video with Bob and Bob did a great job of handling Sabres totally delinquent behavior. Only been a shirt time since Sabre was gelded so he still thinks he is a mister looking for a mare!!
The kicking up is because the saddle fits SO badly and he's sitting over the poor horse's unprotected loin. How can you not know this??
I know pretty is as pretty does, but an Arabian bay has to be one of the most elegant creatures on earth.
Robert is an amazing confident courageous rider wish I had half!!
At this point I’d settle for 10%.
Thanks for showing the whole session with Saber this gives a greater understanding and appreciation of what the learning process. Well done again to Robert this proves great horsemanship. 👍 ❤

Great riding Robert!
I love watching Robert work with the horses. He is amazing!
You both are .
I trained quite a few Arabians to ride and drive in a cart, but I never had a fruit cake like Saber. But he is so beautiful!!
Exactly!! My Arabs are nothing like this!!!
It’s the bloodlines.. saddle seat fruitcake prize wining show horse breeding. They breed for flashy crack hamsters.

My gelding is like this at 18, so you just get used to it?? I didn’t ride him much because I preferred my other Arab that only went sideways. But now he’s too old to ride and I’m stuck on Mr Spaz Rocket who like saber like to kick out, jump and spin much more flamboyant about it. A much more intense experience. Does it get easier to ride?
Robert has got a good seat! I hope the owner is athletic!
He is 😊
Some of your cattle have _beautiful_ markings!
I noticed that also. That big black one has white horizontal stripes. I've never seen that before.
@@googlamonster5086I feel I've seen that spinal stripe somewhere before on cattle - but what fascinates me with that one is his white belly, which extends into white 'stocking tops' and look as if they're holding up long black stockings! There are also two which are white, but with grey-shading-to-black necks and heads, and a little spotting on the shoulders and flanks. Very distinctive and I feel I've seen that sort of colouration also, on cattle in parts of Africa, India and Sri Lanka. I wonder if those two have some zebu or brahmin ancestry?
Robert tou do great work, Saber deally tests tour sit! Saber brings back so mNy memories of my stud Arab El Citar. He waa a true dancer lije Saber, .ud j
Holes, baths, signs where there were none, cows, other horses, and even trees! Tim you are so correct Arabs come out of the box excited! But very smart saber shows that wgen ge is excited but he really wants to listrn to his rider. Patience, clam but frim and steady. You and Robert are all those things thanks for these videos so enjoying them❤
Robert has super glue.😂 I really like this horse, he will be a super ride when he's done. Love watching him and this channel. 🐎
Better hang on That horse has lots of Energy! Never know what direction he is going!
Robert is an excellent rider
Training saves horses from kill pens. Y’all are giving him a new lease on life. The work the team does is fantastic, thank you for putting quality hours of work into horses.
What a BEAUTIFUL horse! A pleasure to watch him.
10 months have gone by, I wonder how Sabre is doing. The way you turned that horse around was just amazing. I hope he's progressing.
Sabre and his owner come every week for lessons. They are doing great!
@@timandersonhorsetraining Thanks! Sabre is so elegant! I love seeing him work.
That poor horse is just now learning to be a horse.
Robert is a very good rider and I appreciate his gentleness with Saber. I am the 77 yr old lady that has owned 6 Arabians (one at a time), and you won't agree with me , but My Arabians have done so much better and I feel are safer if I let them run in the pen when they are frisky and high energy ( every day) . It seems to get them ready to think and do what I ask if they let off some of that steam first. After they run and buck , then I work or ride them and their mind is engaged instead of them needing to let loose all that energy. The horse I have now is a lot like Saber--high energy and reactive. I have worked with him a lot and he is now able to stand to be mounted and even stand still for 15 min or more when I stop on our walks ( me leading him). He has come a very long way, but still has some holes. Boy can I relate to riding that reactive spooky horse !!! I appreciate your videos and have learned a lot ! Thank you.
I always had to free lunge mine first to get the bucks out, no they weren’t tired after just ready to think instead off burn off steam spooking just cuz.. unless we were heading straight up hill, hills are the best ride the hot sauce right up the mountain!
2:43 I sure miss riding Arabs - had them all my life but my last on retired so I opted for a Rocky Mountain mare (no more bouncy bouncy 😂) I'm 81 and a Rocky is just what I needed
Great job!!! The way Saber moved when the cows were in the arena reminded me of my 5 months old puppy Perla when she's close to cows.
Yes, I noticed the cat, not only when you mentioned it, but also earlier in the video I heard it 😻
Saber reminds me of my first horse. An explosion waiting to happen. A bird flying by would set her off. She was Hackney/Thoroughbred and grandmother bought her for me when I was 15 and the horse was 6. That mare taught me how to stick to that english saddle,,,,eventually. LOL robert is a brave man.
I thought Sabre was going to loose it when the crows cawed but, he didn’t.
he's just watchy, not crazy
We have a 3 yr old Arab filly. It’s great to watch Sabre learning
You are doing such beautiful work with Saber! Arabians need to move their feet! Always on the lookout😊 why they make such great endurance partners 🐎 💕
Ohhh how I remember the good old days. Some days a plow horse and some days a dancing fairy.
5:17 my primary Arab was 4 when I got him, 4 or 5 rides on him, never been off of the property where he was born - what a ride, but lots of rides and he'd go anywhere, do anything- trust
HI TIM.....I remember Saber from other videos. I am not fond of the Arabian personality (too flighty) but Saber sure is a Pretty Thing!! I like a nice, well trained, quiet quarter horse! I noticed that new cow, the black & white one (when moving, the white looks like a skirt ruffling). very pretty cow! I like horses from the "sidelines" now......"too long in the tooth" to participate, but really enjoy watching still! Thanks for sharing & God bless,,,,😊❤😮❤😊
I love how Robert deals with him. Kudos to Robert. So Arab with his reaction to the banner, I heard the cat , did not see him. Mud was an issue for my half Arab for a while til one day he decide that he may want to gdt doen and roll in it while we was on trail, he was hot and sweaty and it seems like a good idea to him. I had to jump off and kick him in the belly before he got my saddle covered, he was down on his knees, after that he was ok with it! Also, he was bred on a ranch so knew cows, but the first few times I had to ride him last a llama farm OMG!!
I saw 4 homophones that I noticed right away, but I have seen several different spellings for Saber, So not sure if that the one or not?
Great video, thanks guys!!!
😂😂. Thanks for the interaction!! It’s Sabre, but the misspelling in the video was not intentional. There was a little confusion on the correct spelling;)
Saber cracked me up today. He'll get better and be a really good horse, I think.
I also wondered if Robert was going to take over your training business one day. With his natural calmness and seat, as well as your wisdom, he'd be great whenever you think it's time to retire.
Your whole staff is GREAT. I’m always awed at this channel. You always keep the main thing, the main thing. You’re always orderly and don’t push past unresolved issues. Much Respect!
Ohh so happy to see your still working with him ❤❤your an amazing trainer thanks for showing us his whole journey…
Good video. Awesome work Robert.
This is how the pros do it! Very impressed.
I love the additional commentary scrolling across the screen!
I love your videos. They are so calming! And I'm learning so much about what my friend goes through when training and gentling her horses. Nothing you do is boring. And Bob is a hoot.
I learn more from watching this than most anything else. i saw where he firmed up and when. I saw the horse was moving around but he wasnt scared or frustrated. yes he was uncertain about the cows but he wasnt feeling pushed or anything.
Love your training methods, I'm a75yr old woman, been riding for about 56yrs, and can still learn a lot from your methods, love watching 👀 from Jackson County Missouri I currently have a 24yr quarter horse, still ride, an have my own horses 🐎 for 56yrs just love horses , my true passion. Keep up the videos!!!!😊 21:16 lynn75
This technique works well for horse-shy horses. I have a gelding that was dangerously horse shy. Once I presented the idea of “ herding” the horse that was a problem for him, he’d get over it, and we could continue the ride without him jumping out of his skin!
Wow: that’s one really flighty horse!
Thank you very much. Another fantastic example. I have similar young filly that is scared of everything outside arena. Cows! Ahh God. Same thing. Lots of work on the front of us. Thank you for helping tutorials. Kind regards from the other side of Atlantic ❤
Wonderful progress on Saber's part, and guided by two kind, experienced and empathetic horsemen. Well done!
I have to add, though, that I've met and ridden a few Arabs who were not spooky, crazy or otherwise anything like this fellow. I know they often are, but a life lived without impatience and plenty of time to adjust to new situations means an Arab can be just as steady and reliable as any other horse. My favorite mare (not mine but a friend's) was purebred, an accidental cross between Polish and Egyptian, who was suitable for a child to ride, was great for me with my moderate experience, and phenomenal for my friend who has done all kinds of riding including polo and long distance riding. Even when she was stung by hornets and was spinning and trying to go backwards up a tree to escape them she never once got out from under me or tried to buck me off. And when we were able to get down the trail a bit she quieted down immediately. They are just very sensitive and generally extremely intelligent, and most people don't get that. You two obviously do!
They rarely get broncy and try and get you off, just get really excited and flamboyant which takes quite a seat to stay on. But they aren’t trying to get you off.
I've ridden a lot of arabians. There are wiggly and like riding a wet spaghetti noodle but you are right, they are rarely trying to get you off.
@@timandersonhorsetraining LOL! Yes! They are very flexible and can be super wiggly! Luckily, the ones I've ridden knew I couldn't handle that very well and were quite sedate, for the most part. :D
@@seneynah Yes, exactly. As I told Tim below, I'm lucky enough to not have had to try and keep my seat on one of those advanced creatures. :D
@@timandersonhorsetraining nice description I call them hoverboards I love the light squirrely feel under me I just prefer to stop the explosions. I can handle the lateral stuff it’s fun but when they get kicking out or exploding up I’d rather shut that down.
He needs exposure. Lots of it. Which he's getting. 16:14
I love a longer video but putting in chapter marks in the timeline would be great so it would be easy to jump ahead if I want to.
He is doing a good job with this Arabian. A bitless sidepull would perhaps be better and help him to be more relaxed and trusting not having pain in his mouth in addition to his fearfulness.
Boy he is scared of his shadow and everything else.,Kudos to you for dealing with such a hyperactive and very difficult Arabian. Give me a big stocky steady calm QH or QH/draft cross any day. Some dogs that people got during Covid are this way-never leave the house and backyard and never properly socialized so end up severely anxious, with separation anxiety and hyperreactive toward strangers. Keep up the good work on your channel.
Robert is an amazingly confident rider on an overstimulated hyperactive horse. Sabre just needs exposure to the world and Robert is the rider he needs. I always learn something from your videos watching leadership technique in action. I think Sabre will be a long term project and am looking forward to seeing him develop into a fine riding horse no matter what discipline. Please allow me to make a suggestion. Sabre is clever moving sideways. He's quick and agile and to this point he's not hit himself. It's only a matter of time and he'll sustain an impact injury so please consider putting a protective boot on him front and back. I know some trainers say they'll learn not to hit themselves, but accidents happen. The least of which is a nicked coronet band, but a swollen bruise on his fetlock, or a suspensory branch injury will lay him up for a long time at considerable cost. He's a valuable horse and I think worth the extra effort to protect him from himself at this point in his training.
My Arab gelding is super flamboyant like this and he has a splint from it. They can even do it at pasture, he’s just so animated. He was lame for a couple weeks but now it’s just cosmetic.
Great job 👍
Seeing how aware of things is surprising. Like the new banner and mud rather than dirt.
Robert has some impressive riding skills!
Wouldn't it be easier to saddle a horse in a stall! When I had riding lessons, I got the horse out of paddock. Used bribery to get it, an apple. While it ate it, I put halter on, brought horse to stall & brushed it & saddled him/her. The lovely horse stood still for me. It would turn & look @ me sometimes. I talked to the horse. I walked the horse into yard & then got up on it & went into training arena! After the training, I unsaddled it & brushed it down & gave the animal an apple again to say thks. Sometimes we'd go outside & walk, trot, canter horse along tracks & beside the roads & go over little jumps & logs. [From an Aussie 🇦🇺]
Easier does not mean better or helpful for learning to be better.
what an amazing rider its like he has chewing gum between his butt and the saddle seat he sits so well deep balanced in the seat👌
Robert is a good trainer
Abel to catch two in the pin, but there might bee more!
Needs lots of miles! Be fun to ride!
Wish I could ride like Robert!
So......we can assume this gorgeous creature is not destined to be a cowhorse?
That fella is super brave, I wouldn't fool with this 1. I started w nice aran, very behaved but did not like jumping
My 18 year old Arab acts just like this on occasion usually at the end of a ride. Robert just rides itout and doesn’t get after him much. I haven’t decided if I should correct my horse or just ride it out and ignore it.
This is a very green horse. Most of this will work itself out as the horse gets broke. Yours doing it at the end of a ride I would be less tolerant.
@@timandersonhorsetraining thanks… what do you do to discipline such behavior? I spin him, should I check him hard in the mouth quickly or use spurs? He’ll respect me if I cause him pain like he respects my horned cow who pokes him. I’ve just never had a horse that needs strong reprimand or I’ve never wanted to. I do on the ground but I’m a bit more gentle on top and I need to get much more aggressive or it’s only going to get worse.
I learned he was in pain from this chair seat, it hurts his back. He’s much happier now that I learned to ride in a balanced seat.
Beautiful on the outside, hopelessly scrambled in the head. I don’t foresee a positive outcome with this one, but I do hope you prove me wrong. Also, great job Robert 👍🏼
Give him several months and miles 😉

G'day Tim do you find the western saddle fits ok? Considering as a arabian he has one rib less than say a quarterhorse.
and shorter body.
Slow nervous. Poor baby having panic attack. Long legs nice horse if on cow in there and you follow it he'll get brave
That horse Is a nut😂
Heck I didn’t know there was gonna be a quiz….. I saw at least one…
This is fun to watch. Well done Robert. Do you lean back in your seat to give him pressure on his back more? Or is it just to keep you deep in the seat if he flips out.
It’s chair seat… it’s the only way to stay on the spaz rocket crack hamster Arabs. This is all I ride, it gives you Velcro butt.
When working with animals you cannot set a time limit. That is why you NEED a professional. Many owners don't have the patience to get it done and lose their temperature. That does no good.
