Thank you for demonstrating this soft approach to handling animals, I'm not a horseperson but so enjoy watching you! A question: why do you use a bit on horses when you have shown they can be ridden without it. It should be more comfortable for the horse. It may demand more of the human having to connect stronger with the horse but that's the humans problem I think.
“I don’t want a slave-master relationship, I’m looking for a partner “. Wow! I have ridden all my life, and taken thousands of lessons over many disciplines, and this comment blows my mind. It really means a lot to me as an older rider because I need a partner, especially during competitions.
What an excellent video! Especially love the part where he talked about thinking that he saw something in someone else’s horse, hopped on the horse and realized he felt something else in the horse. Biggest takeaway for me, is this master doesn’t call himself a master, he says he’s always learning. To me, that’s the mark of a good trainer and even more, a great horseman. This man is truly a student of the horse. Ryan, thanks so much for bringing us content like this.
That demo didn’t make sense to me I find it more effektive to just look where You want to go and if it is to The left just open The door to The left meaning move Your left leg slightly away from The horse and look in that direction and The horse Will move to The left and even very Easy if you time it with The front left leg is coming of The Ground - learned that from Mark Rashid and KFH. 😊
I think this pressure release thing also can be used on people that struggle with anxiety. It's so simpel yet so effective. To create a safe place where they start to explore and make them feel they can succeed by their own choice. Very interesting principals. Thank you for a great video.
I don't own a horse or live near any. But I am an elementary teacher by trade and Ryan you're a great teacher for us humans to better understand horses. I always enjoy watching you. I love to learn from you.
I’m a teacher too, and yes, I agree, RR is incredibly gifted in how to get the best out of people and horses. He has such terrific empathy with both which is v rare…for a man 😜
I cannot even begin to describe how much you have helped me, Ryan. This time last year i was scared of my horse and she was just sitting in the pasture eating, and thanks to your videos I finally have the confidence to work past her habits and become her partner and leader. Thank you so much for giving me back my love of horses!!
Ray Hunt, Tom and Bill Dorrance are my mentors. Went to Ray at 17, and rode many clinics till Ray rode with an oxygen tank and climbed the fence to mount,then rode 10 hours that day. Last clinic, 2005 he didn't get out of the semi and conducted the clinic on a mic system. Recently retired my mustang, I really enjoy watching your channel, Thanks 🐎
Thanks Ryan for putting you and your horse out there! If a person truly wants to stay on a productive journey to improving their horsemanship skills then we must stay open and humble! This spoke highly to me about your character. I value your input as a trainer and I have used your techniques. With the utmost respect, you have been a great mentor for me and my horse!
When he was talking about the horse not finding it "fun" I rewound and looked and sure enough, she pinned her ears for a few seconds just slightly when asked to do something in the beginning. Awesome to pick up on that.
With out a doubt Ryan, your amazing, but Doug Jordan is truly a master in horsemanship, he's incredible no wonder he is one of your mentors 🤠. He's a very soft spoken man with gentle hands. Thanks for sharing this video Ryan. Blessings always 🙌 Jennifer
I haven’t started riding one bit. But this helps me with just working with the horses at the Ranch I volunteer for that takes in Rescue Horses. Thanks Ryan! I have been watching a lot of your videos and its been super helpful for me and my journey here with these amazin’ Fur Babies.
Wisdom gained through experience is so true Someone willing to listen to animals usually leads to special bond & treasured relationship ♥️ Blessings to all 🌻
This is a top-notch video for folks who have learned to muscle or cowboy a horse to do what the person wants. The issue for me is that the arena is easy. I've worked my horse in the arena hundreds of times... Lessons, liberty, bareback, repetition... We are champions in the arena. On the trail? He's a different horse. I've worked with several trainers regarding this, but he still spooks at nothing and I can't take the risk of being seriously injured. It breaks my heart. It's really sad.
Maybe try walking the horse on the trail so you’re already on the ground. Sounds as though horse is not generalizing, so anything which occurs on the trail is new, unusual and scary. More work in the arena may help you develop more of a leader role in horses mind. If they trust you as their leader they learn to trust your judgement whether something is scary. If you anticipate your horse spooking and tense upon seeing something you think might frighten your horse - he’ll pick up on that as a reason to spook. Controlling my own emotions is often hard part for me - making horse not trust me and often not act in my best interest.
Thank you Ryan Rose, you have helped me with my OTTB and her anxiety. She is doing great and really calming down. Oh BTW her cribbing collar has been taken off and she doesn't even crib anymore. She looks at things she used to crib at and looks at me and says, WTF you want me to do with that? Amazing!!!!!
My father was involved with the early cutting horse industry in Texas during the 1960’s. My father, Howard Rivers, and his three good friends, Dick Freeman (former Chairman of Tenneco), Clem Boettcher, and Louis Pearce, founder of Pearce-Waukesha, now named Waukesha-Pearce Industries. founded several cutting horse associations in the 1960 ‘s in Texas, including the Central Texas Cutting Horse Association and the South Texas Horse Association. The four of them comprised the first Cutting Horse Committee for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo during the late 1960’s. My father’s two favorite cutting horses he rode in competitions prior to his death in 1971 were Hollywood Jan and Stars Mr. Smart. My younger brother competed in the high school state and nationals cutting horse finals. I was already a freshmen in college when my father became involved in the cutting horse world, so I never competed in cutting horse competitions, but I did ride the horses - riding them for pure enjoyment. I competed in barrel racing and other western horsemanship events up to my freshman year in high school. The organization, University of Interscholastic League, prevented me from competing in horsemanship events in high school, because I would have been considered a professional had I accepted prizes, and I would, therefore have been prevented from competing in high school UIL competitions.
Love watching your videos. I had a couples of horses when I was a kid. I had a pinto pony when I was in the 6th grade and later I bought a Tennessee Walker who was 1 1/2 years old when I acquired her. I loved riding her. My cousin trained racking horses and rode her once and said wow she is really a spirited horse. She was so funny. She did not like to be ridden ever day and she would act up when ridden more than she liked and she would start bucking but if she hadn't been ridden in about 3 months she would come up to be ridden and be so wonderful. I would ride her with a western saddle and bare back. The first time I came to a bridge over a creek she refused to cross it. I dismounted and lead her back and forth over it until she was comfortable. Then I mounted her and rode her back and forth across the bridge until she was comfortable. I never had a problem with her on bridges again. There are so many horse tales. Again I love your videos.
I found with my young colt that just by looking where I wanted to go, that slight shift in weight would let him know and respond to the point that it was like he was reading my mind! It was exhilarating and a bit spooky at the same time! What an awesome, in sync partnership with an amazingly athletic and sensitive young horse! 🐎 He was so balanced, that he was able to do Flying Lead Changes on his first day, when he went to the trainer! I think if Doug had looked where he wanted to go, the horse would have had a better idea of what he was asking... The weight of your head and shift in hip pressure are all cues for the horse too...
What am I seeing alongside the back fencing that moves along with the horse? It's like a white rectangle that's moving along w/ the horse and rider? I noticed it around 42:50 min He was referring to it as the "flag" Is this something the cattle horse people use to train the horse to stay w/ the cattle? I've never seen this.
The horse is aware, it’s the human who needs to catch up. Certainly applies with our horse. Stands still for trainer to point she can stand on the saddle. I have enough trouble just staying seated in the saddle!
Thank you Ryan and Doug, very informative and pleasant to listen and watch...Wishing you the best form Wasa, British Columbia Canada. Where can I get the flag system for my arena?
I notice too that Doug Jordan keeps a continued request on the horse to back, where I don't think Ryan does this (i may be wrong) but just from my observations.
@Ryan - I was noticing something here in the video that I've seen many explanations for, but what are your thoughts on Loose or snug back cinch. I see a lot of people including Doug in the video riding with a loose back cinch.
How does he feel about giving a horse a smack on the shoulder or chest if they act up ? My trainer told me it was ok to give a smack when he acts up but I don’t feel comfortable doing that ?
That method is working well, because everything in so called reality is the manifestation of our mind, and if we are on the same vibrational level with the horse, we are one. That is why liberty riding is possible, when the rider is not trying to contol the horse. They just trust in the mental connection. So we manifest what we believe in. Confidence is so important, because in that mental state we are allowing what we truly want, we are in the "state of flow". That is all quantum physics. There is no common reality, we create and experience every moment only our OWN reality. There is also no "god", we are all magicians. That was the original teaching of Jesus, as well, he was a Buddhist.
A partnership where a 90lb man sits on a horse and makes it stand still in the blazing sun for nearly an hour? Doesn't sound to me like any kind of partnership worth having for one of the participants.
@@brendadonaldson3757 I'm not sure. Maybe. I hear everything fine. I know some videos I play in the classroom aren't very loud. You might need to change the settings on UA-cam. I have had that problem with other clips.

Wow I love watching Ryan because he is a master but Doug is definitely a awesome mentor and explains a lot about where Ryan comes from
This is the sweetest video in so many ways. I am a beginner who started riding 2 years ago- this should be required viewing!! Love your videos!!

Best subject yet. I formed a partnership with thus mare since she'd been abused, best horse I've ever had

Doug's horse is soooo still. He's got the horses in a calm sleep state. 😂
What a lovely guy Doug is. And now Ryan carries the flame too.
Nice ❤cool thanks Ryan
Loved it! More, please 😊
Great video again. Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this, humans gotta catch up for sure!
A treasure full of whisdom.

Now that was so cool to watch! I would rewatch what Doug was talking about so I could really see what he was trying to show us.

It was exhilarating and a bit spooky at the same time! What an awesome, in sync partnership with an amazingly athletic and sensitive young horse! 🐎

Is this something the cattle horse people use to train the horse to stay w/ the cattle?
I've never seen this.
Yes, called a mechanical cow
Subtle stuff!
Very interesting, understanding vs muscle memory. Applicable to human endeavors such as piano. But best with both. ❤
Thanks Ryan! My favorite remark is at 48:00. Ryan's Patreon is so worth it!
This is awesome!!!!!
The horse is aware, it’s the human who needs to catch up. Certainly applies with our horse. Stands still for trainer to point she can stand on the saddle. I have enough trouble just staying seated in the saddle!
I like the way you train horse and you are good with horse Nanette
Thank you Ryan and Doug, very informative and pleasant to listen and watch...Wishing you the best form Wasa, British Columbia Canada. Where can I get the flag system for my arena?
Interesting to watch. Would love to see him work with Skittles!
I get your point.
I notice too that Doug Jordan keeps a continued request
on the horse to back, where I don't think Ryan does this (i may be wrong)
but just from my observations.
I bet a horse that is that confident running down and facing a bull, will even make the bull think twice!😂
Interesting guy. Why the spurs?
I think it is a macho thing.
@Ryan - I was noticing something here in the video that I've seen many explanations for, but what are your thoughts on Loose or snug back cinch. I see a lot of people including Doug in the video riding with a loose back cinch.
Your link for Doug's channel doesn't work...
First!❤
How does he feel about giving a horse a smack on the shoulder or chest if they act up ? My trainer told me it was ok to give a smack when he acts up but I don’t feel comfortable doing that ?
2nd!🎉
So basically don't dictate to the animals have an actual relationship and conversation with them, and dare to try to understand them.
First like!😊 I’m third in comments tho lol

Whats the name of a man you had invited because didnt catch up with his name, and does he have youtube channel?
I'm finding it very difficult to hear your partner, it's usually the too quiet even when your talking Ryan, but this is very difficult to hear
It might be sth on your computer/ mobile. I hear Doug and Ryan just fine.... 🤷
The greys breathing a little obvious...is there a problem??? Or was he doing something just prior to this video
