I love how calm and gentle are with your horses, both on the ground and whilst riding. It's also great to see how passionate and knowledgeable you are about medieval history ❤️

@@BluesManSteele I know. Mr Dibbs is one of those "Don't try this at home." things. I grew up around barrel racing and his stallion is bigger and more powerful than most of the animals I've seen. Very spirited and I could also tell it was the type of animal that only an expert should own or ride. I am an experienced rider and I wouldn't go anywhere near that animal lol
@@patrickturner6878 Not claiming dibs (AU=possession) on such a fine, carefree & headstrong creature.The horse is wondrous, too. /joke /sarcasm.3rd best YT channel ever.
i absolutely love how calmly you handled mr. dibs. i've unfortunately seen many people treat their horses wrongfully just for having a little energy. it's truly amazing watching you work with such a beautiful horse with so much potential
Mr Dibbs is beautiful, but clearly not the easiest horse to work with. With such a handsome sire, it’s no surprise that Gossamer is a beauty as well, even without having seen her dam.
@@heather173 A stallion with a hard past, from what I’ve heard, making him a lot more independent and less trusting than, say, Talos, who has never known anything other than love. I’m glad Mr Dibbs is with Jason now, who is both very good with horses and cares tremendously for their well-being.
@@ragnkjaI'm new to this channel. 1st time seeing Mr Dibbs. What a horse! Blacks just melt my heart. What was his past? And can you remember a video Mr Dibbs is being used in at more than a walk, so I can watch it 100's of times? Thanks
@@shonamcwilliam2842 I don’t know the details, but Jason has said Mr Dibbs has a difficult history, and from what I understand that’s sadly relatively common for spirited stallions. He’s been in his current loving home for more than a decade, fortunately.
I'm not into medieval history, knights, or even into horses in particular but I love to watch your videos just for how skillfully and gently you handle your animals.
I stumbled on this channel purely by happenstance. I love Medieval Times. Not many people take the time and the effort to describe things as you do. I think my favorite episodes or when you go into detail about the types of cooking and the different types of meals the different classes would eat.
@@kc218 many people that I know or great way off into history. I love looking into the night, the armor, the Weaponry, the horsemanship that these people had is outstanding. The one thing that seems to be left behind in a lot of other programming oh, it's the way they lived from the Kings to the Earl's to the Dukes the knights their vassals everyday life. That is what draws me in
I loved that you were “real” when riding. There are so many videos out there that are edited when their horse is acting a bit hot and excited. It shows off your great horsemanship as well! Kudos!!
@@Vonatar74 I looked it up. You're right. OBE is apparently pretty cool, though, and definitely an honor to have. 😊 But You're right. Apparently it is different than a knight.
You are such a wonderful horseman ! Kind, firm & ending on a positive note. It is so awesome that someone that is teaching history is so skilled with an intact stallion ! He is a Magnificent animal.
Mr. Dibbs is such a fine horse in his lines and deportment; that coat - ! Mon dieu, it's as glossy as a bowl of plums. I thoroughly enjoyed your interaction with that grand horse. I think you're quite right about the saddle proximity to his crest. The saddle itself is exquisite. There's certainly something to be said about custom-made items; yes, expensive, but the workmanship and detail poured into many of those items can still be enjoyed to this day. There are some wonderful examples of 15th & 16th century saddles in the Wallace Collection. Thank you so much for another delightful episode, and I hope we see more of Mr. Dibbs (although all of your horses are handsome creatures and with distinct personalities!). Have you any horses - a Paso Fino, for instance - trained to amble? It would be lovely to see you demonstrate this in addition to the warhorses. As a knight, I feel sure that you should have some amblers as well as destriers.
I agree with maybe an inch or so backward...gets off his neck and frees his shoulder up for maneuvers. he s such a well behaved stallion even with energy pent up!!
Another beautiful horse! It's fascinating to see how physical historical designs, like this saddle, reflect both the technology and social organization of their times. I love how you mentioned that the saddle adjustments presuppose that you've got a crew of servants to control the horse and adjust the fittings to the situation you're in. The role of squires and pages in supporting a knight in the field becomes so much clearer when you see the gear they were working with. Thanks so much for this video!
That close up on his eyes like he's saying hi there and thinking what kind of things he'll be getting into next. What an intelligent and beautiful stallion
Please never ever stop making these videos. Not only are they informative and engrossing, but they are just plain fun to watch! You have a knack for answering the questions I've often had about those days gone past. Much love from Texas!
"A New 14th Century Knight's Saddle". Now that's an interesting statement ^^ Thank you for the video, you're a true source of inspiration to many of us.
Absolutely love how you work with your horses! So calm and patient and understanding. Can really see the bond you have with each of them. Lovely to see such a connection, wish more trainers would approach things the way you do!
Mr Dibbs - as you no doubt know - is gorgeous. And he is so well behaved when he's excited about trying something new! Not something you can take for granted in a stud horse!
I learn something from every single one of your videos. Thank you for doing the research and for passing on the information in such a manner that is easy to listen to, and to digest as well.
Don't worry Mr Dibbs, slightly crazy is my favourite kind of horse ;) What a magnificent stallion his coat is beautiful! Another great video Modern History team! I especially enjoy the way you interact with the horses Jason. Can clearly see the mutual respect and love you share. Too often our equine friends are left in the background or just there as prop pieces so the human can show off but you make it seem like its as much their time in the spotlight as it is yours. Much respect ✌ Cant wait to see what you give us next. Always great quality 😊
My only experience with horses is riding a pony once 25 years ago, yet Jason's pedagogical skills are so good I could grasp everything that was going on in that video.. Thanks for an amazing channel that just keeps on delivering !
It's been said by everyone, but I thought i'd just through my two pence in. Your channel is amazing, the content you cover and effort you put in is second to none, and your bond and friendship with the horses is fantastic. Keep up the quality work!
He said: "You are nice and quiet now" and I saw Mr. Dibbs eye whites when he rolled them 😁 (At 9:32 ) MAGNIFICENT HORSE!!! And he is extremely well behaving!!! His energy is bent up, but he listens you SO WELL! Very impressed and really beautiful to watch you two working together!
I squeeled when I saw Mr Dibbs had his own line in the credits. Very informative film, I shall have to rewatch when I've got over my major case of 'awwwwwwwwwweeeeeee' so I can actually take some of it in. The was just so lovely seeing you respect his character as you do.
I have been around animals of every species since I was in my crib & I have a great respect for Mr. Dibbs. When you understand why animals behave the way they do, you can manage even a feisty one.
A few minutes in the morning with a new video from Jason sets the tone for the whole day. I found your channel midway between reading Bernard Cornwell's 11 book series, The Last Kingdom. Your videos complement the series nicely, giving both more depth and showing the common humanity we share with our ancestors.
What a gorgeous stallion, and a lovely saddle! Great work as always, and such a delight to be brought along with you as you test and try out new ideas and old techniques.
Love these videos, you can tell this is his passion. Apart from all the interesting facts and whatnot, it's just great to see someone truly enjoying themselves!! Cheers to hopefully many more years of you enjoying your craft
I prefer medieval saddles to English or Western. Much more relaxing. I spent 4 years on the jousting team at Sands Point and loved it. But we were riding gelded Percherons and Belgians.
You lucky git.!!! What an amazing opportunity you've had. Not many people can say oh, I was part of a jousting team! Or oh, I joust for fun because I'm crazy lol.
my first reaction was: "does this mean they were catering to riders who wouldn't practice?" ,,, but then I thought, if you plan to be taking lots of hits, jostling around in a formation, and otherwise having your balance tested, every advantage might keep more riders on their horses.
If i were not in Australia i would gladly offer myself as a groom for you! I love how knowledgeable you are, and how much you clearly care for your horses
I dont know many western riders with their hands that high, we like to keep them very low and close to the horse's neck so as to show them to relax their head and neck. Still a beautiful horse and I love these videos! Keep up the amazing work.
I have seen horses roll around many times but never knew why. So I looked it up. Drying sweat and stretching are great reasons for a great roll in the hay! Well played Mr. Dibbs!
Horses also grow and shed winter coats, and a good roll is a great way to loosen and remove some of that itchy excess coat as it starts to shed! They also just plain enjoy it, it's fun and feels good to them.
Re the saddle. I watched a video about how King Richard III would have managed riding a horse, especially into battle, given his extreme scoliosis. A person was found with much the same problem and he found that the saddle, sort of similar to this one, was actually quite comfortable and supportive

Hi , loving your channel!😃🐎..do you have a video on farriers and how horse shoes evolved ..also the what the riding boots looked like and how they were made? Mr Dibbs🐴 reminds me of The Black Stallion movies🥰
It would scare me to ride in a saddle like that. I would feel so trapped and unsafe if there was a problem where you need to dismount quickly, not to mention if the horse slips and falls. I also hate breaking in a new saddle, even though it's fun to have a new one.
This channel is absolutely great! Good sir Jason could you please do more videos about medieval cuisine? It would be even better to learn some recipes.
Love your channel. Amazing content. Can you do a video about bits? I always see you riding in some sort of leverage bit. It would be great to learn about medieval bits and how they have varied over the years.
Could you go over horse armor? There is not much information on UA-cam about that.
Oh yes please!
That would indeed be great. So you think it was custom-made for each horse, or rather stock items in different sizes? I really wonder, as knights had more than one destrier at their disposal? Which would be logistically a nightmare to carry several sets of horse armour? Maybe you could go a bit more in detail? Have you ever seen full horse barding in use nowadays?
Please

Oh, he's GLORIOUS! What a pleasure to ride something with spirit
About an energetic stallion. Dad had an oval swimming pool constructed that had an island so the horse had to swim in a padded lane, he would stand in the center of the pool to lead the horse and motivate it to swim. It didn’t take long to get the horses to tire and become somewhat less difficult to work with. It was also a great therapeutic tool.
you could also lunge the horse before riding to get the same result
The point isn't to tire a horse every time you want to ride him. You have to learn how to channel their energy correctly
Very flashy horse! Any knight would be proud to show off Mr Dibbs.
Beautiful and energetic stallion ! Very nice explanation! Thank you!
Mr. Dibbs is stunning! Enjoyed the video, thanks so much!

Love your channel. Amazing content. Can you do a video about bits? I always see you riding in some sort of leverage bit. It would be great to learn about medieval bits and how they have varied over the years.
What a magnificent horse! I love this channel.
Oh he is gorgeous and shows how kindly you handle your horses. People forget horses change shape with the seasons, how much work, so many things
Impressive handling of Mr. Dibbs
He is a handful at times.
Mr. Dibbs is pure joy to watch
I love that at the end of the riding session you let him roll over and enjoy the arena floor 🙏🏼💖✨💗
I love how you insert the horse's name in the credits.
The horses always get top billing.
Fascinating and such a magnificent horse! Stunning
Such beautiful expressive eyes has Mr Dobbs! Nice informative video, thank you, sir!
Your videos are really making me miss my days with the Medieval recreation society.
