- Horse has become a bully! what can i do to help? Here a heavy coloured cob has become very difficult and even biting and knocking into his handlers, he refuses to be taken to his stables from the field.. lots of work to be done here and hopefully we can make a good change
I will be investing in some new audio equipment to make the videos better quality in the future, apologies for the wind noise in this video please bear with us were still new to all this
Being a newbie is never fun 😏 You are doing the best u can 🤗
@@jennielaw6329 Yes, he is. I love watching Steve. It fascinates me how he “”makes the horses behave “❗️He is GREAT ❗️
That is great! Hard to hear you when I have to turn it down for loud wind.
You could invest in a camcorder. They've come a long way. Also, look for an external mic jack - that way you could put an external mic and use a big fuzzy thing to block the wind!
Steve , you had already told us that you will be investing in some new equipment,& had apologized for the wind noise , YET, so many people continue to complain, belly ache about the sound. I appreciate you so much & watched the whole video, sound, or no, why? BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING WHAT YOU WERE DOING, knowing you were doing your best with the equipment you have at the moment
Sending love to you & Tanya from an an 80 year old “ FAN” from Oklahoma, 🇺🇸 GOD BLESS 🙏🏼
Steve trained our pony many years ago and still now at 23 years old she is so respectful and perfect in every way both ridden (bitless) and on the ground.
Can’t thank you enough Steve - you are a rare gem x
What does it mean ridden “ on the ground “? Just curious. Thank you.
Their talking about two different things, how it responds while riding it and how it is handling it while on the ground.
I now watch these transformations in horse and rider with nostalgia for I spent the first half of my life riding as much as I possibly could. At age 14, I found myself the proud owner of a neglected swaybacked Thoroughbred. By then I instinctively did a lot of what Steve talks about. That dear horse looked after me as much as I looked after him. At 16, I was a trail guide with 40 horses. And such became my relationship to all horses and animals in general. We got along fine. Personalities and all. How wonderful it is to relate to other species with mutual respect and indeed LOVE.
I have a well built gypsy cob she only has front shoes on and we go all over. My farrier has always said she has great Hardy back feet therefore no need to put back shoes on and she has never been sore or lame but you mentioned something about only having front shoes on in this video. She is heavy on the front but I was always told its due to her been a cart horse in the past. Please would you give me your input on this. I'd really appreciate your advice.
Thank you 😊
That black heart on his bootie is absolutely the cutest 😍
These are links to the type of microphones and wind muffs you will need to purchase in order to record when it's windy out. The mini wireless lapel microphones (you guys would need at least 2, one for Steve and one for the owner, more if you have additional guests/customers) will clip onto, for example; Steve's shirt and this way the phone will record his voice MUCH clearer and louder, and then the Wind Muffs (they look like mini versions of the poofs on top of some winter hats) will block the wind from blowing agaisnt the actual microphone. This way we can hear everyone's voices and no more wind!!!
I think almost all of your viewer would gladly donate to a GoFundMe or other fund raiser in order to pay for these items!! They're not uber expersive and they will only enhance our viewing experience!! Plus, no one wants to miss any of Steve's AH-MAZE-ING advice!!!
Hope this info helps!!! I'll put links in the replys of this comment!!!
I don't know why, but my replys to my own comment with the links to the lapel microphones and mini wind muffs keep disappearing.......but, hopefully you will still be able to google search for them now. Love you guy loads!! Thank you for all you do for these horses and their owners!!! You guys are amazing!
@@0hMyLife Perhaps give another try to include them in another comment. Try separating the URL by several spaces. That often "disguises" a link. Those microphones are BADLY needed.
@@0hMyLife RUclips started blocking links.
Yes definitely need a wind sock. this is hard to listen to.
I simply turn the sound off. Sorry Steve. Shooting for subtitles since my Welsh/English ancestry hasn't kicked in yet. Great videos, regardless. Congrats on Anniversary.
Most channels, if a video is longer than 20 mins I debate on watching them. With yours, I am so mesmerized by the way you help your customers that I can easily watch a 2 hour video and think the time just flew by! Thank you for entertaining me and most of all the way you help the horses and their owners!
Agreed.
Me, too!!!!👍💪👍💪
I cast Steve's videos to my telly when hubby gone to bed 🤣🐴🐴🐴
Me too!💕
Me too!!! I have to hear everything as well as watch😳🧨🧨🧨🌠 he's dynamite (I can even apply what he says to my life🙊❣️).....and..... My children 🤗
Jimmy is a lovely boy who knows/ has learnt to throw his weight around ... but he is a very lovely character
What a beautiful country to work in and that horse was adorable, naughty but adorable. Glad you could help him in his owner see eye to eye. And hey congratulations to you and Tanya for 39 years of marriage! That's wonderful! 💕💕💕 You two are such a cute couple and your relationship is inspirational. God bless you both 👰💗🤵
Me and mine since April 1983! Ha😊
I know this is a year old, I just think this is a beautiful horse, what a nice video even with the wind. Love all
Jimmy is gorgeous. He's just fed up cos he's trying to tell his owner stuff and no-one is listening. Once she starts doing the stuff that Steve tells her Jimmy is going to really step up. He is going to start believing that you might be worth getting to know. Those cobs are so damn smart. Once you start asking him in a language he understands he will try so hard to do what he thinks you want. If he gets it wrong it's not cos he's stupid or stubborn. If he tries but isn't doing what you want at least he is trying. You need to adjust how you ask.
He knows some of the things he is being asked to do, such as simply walking forward. But he is indeed being stubborn and refusing to do what he is asked, simply because he does not see his owner as a leader, does not respect her and knows he can get away with things by simply stopping and refusing to move forward. Once he sees her as a leader and respects her, then he will start trying and doing the things that are asked of him or that he is being taught. Only then will he start trying.
@@kaylahanson8853 Yes he sure is being persistent at trying to get his message across. He is trying very hard to communicate in his way and can't work out why the two legged ones don't hear him. Now he is so frustrated he is biting to get his point across or refusing to move.
And he is such a big boy but he doesn't understand his strength. He is simply standing still.
Seems to me he doesn't want to be in the stables, he wants to be in the paddock. He doesn't feel the bad weather and he has more room to move around out there. He needs to move.
I was taught a very important lesson during my natural horsemanship journey. The first part was undemanding time to extablish leadership and the second part was remove the halter and all you have left is the truth. When you get both of those right, you've got inside your horse's head. The rest is easy or cream whichever way you look at it.
@ Fiona Alsofinona Definitely!! Well said! 👍😊
Happy anniversary to a beautiful couple!!! Here’s to many more years of enjoying each other’s excellent company!!! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
Just love you guys thank you and happy anniversary
Yeah!!!! Another video!!! We all need a T-shirt that says "Unrequested Forward Motion". It's not like you don't already have enough to do...but you should get right on that. 😆. 😜❤️❤️❤️. Also I think there's a fuzzy cover that you can put on your mike to help with the wind sound. 🤞 Or a shield for your phone.
UFM, it’s an issue!🎁
Meant 😁 not 🎁 stupid thumb
@@cirkle862 😂
I think he has one, but it''s currently sold out on their website. You can also buy the flags he uses, and a rope halter made by them!!! I want and UFM shirt soooooo freaking badly too tho!!! LOL
He has one I think!
I love Tanya's comments. She is such a sweet genuine person. Lots of love and respect from North Carolina USA.
Doesn’t she just add what needs to be added?!? They are bread and butter.🤗🤗🤗
Hi Steve, do you also have lounging video's? I do not know if i have written it with the Wright word:lounging. Greetings from Holland
Been training horses for over 30 years and I ALWAYS learn from you !! ❤️❤️
What a beautifully handsome boy...and those striking eyes and lashes...Wow!
Omg I’m only half way in and I absolutely adore this beautiful boy ❤ I could never own a horse because I’d ruin him with my misguided human love, just watching him on screen makes me want to hug him. He’s gorgeous.
All about training the OWNERS...
Thanks so much for the landscape view and the voice over when the wind was causing so much noise. Well done! Very enjoyable video and amazing to see how quickly Jimmy responded to you.
Ive been watching your films lately and they have made me so much more confident when interacting with my mammoth donkeys. One is a rescue and within a week there has been a complete turnaround. I realize they are different than horses, and I have her trust and gentled her over the last year but some of your techniques have led to immediate improvement in hurtles we still had. Really appreciate the films. Thankyou!!!!
That is a beautiful horse. Amazing how well you understand them.
Traditional cobs are hidden gems .
So much better with the talk over. The wind was driving me crazy and you had such great suggestions. Thank you again!!!
Steve is great! So much good instruction and meaningful horsemanship. He relates to the horse, how they think, and what they need.
He is also very fun to watch. Steve has a great demeanor with the horses and people alike??
Congratulations on all your years together! Love a good old fashioned marriage ❤
Love the videos. One suggestion though. If possible, wear a microphone so we can hear you while in the field. Amazing horse whisperer you are!
I've suggested this also. Especially with no wind protection on the recording device.
I agree. Either a lavalier or a shotgun (directional) mic with a wind shield, but it seems like a Bluetooth lavalier mic - necklace or clip - would be the cheaper, easier option. You can pick them up for $30-$60 on Amazon. In fact, I think you can get lavaliers with wind muffs.
If you're worried about a horse knocking it, I'd worry more about my breastbone, but insure it... If you go the shotgun mic route, I'd get a harness for it too so your wife can brace it against her body. They're not that heavy, but they can get to FEELING heavy, fast, if you're trying to just hold them out.
This would improve the sound quality a lot. You could also narrate as you're moving around, even if you don't want to do that while you're working with a horse. (The cheapest option is to try cupping your hand around the mic on your phone - without covering it - but that's hard to keep up.)
Also, I don't know what kind of phone or camera you're using, but a very good smartphone or camera can really make a difference. I notice that you lose focus kind of frequently. This is partly a flaw in smartphones - to oversimplify, you don't have enough room in a phone for great focal length and depth of field (the range of what's in focus.) Most smartphones have a fixed aperture (lens opening) of 1.8. Some have 2.2 apertures, which is a little smaller and might be better in bright light, but you need to get dark barn/stall areas too, which might be negatively impacted. You might try setting the ISO higher, to 400 or more, to see if that improves focus. (You would at least be better able to avoid losing focus due to movement.)
I learned photography in the Jurassic age prior to digital, so I'm only beginning to understand how pixel size/number affects depth of field. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me about pixels could advise you there. I won't pretend I know enough to tell anyone anything about it. You COULD try a phone with a 2.2 aperture to see how it looks, but I'm betting that wouldn't change much.
What I do know is that the better the lens quality, the better the image, so definitely use the best you can afford. Zeiss, Leica, and Nikon are all good, and I think they're all making lenses for some smartphones, so you could try one with one of those sorts of lenses.
I really appreciate your videos, and your horsemanship. I work in equine-assisted learning, and a lot of our interactions are ground-based, so I especially value the fact that so many of your videos address ground manners. Thanks for what you do!
The voice over was excellent! Thanks. From western Massachusetts USA
@@patchurch1677 totally agree!
I've begged for this too. The sound is terrible on every video. I won't watch anymore. Far too annoying, and something any halfway-accomplished RUclipsr easily eliminates with one of those furry microphones.
Wow, Jimmy is a beautiful, majestic creature❤️
So glad your new "camera" allows a full screen view, and not a limited one. Enjoying your videos from the US.
Thank you so so so much for starting to record videos sideways!!! It’s made them so much easier to see on my TV!! You guys are the best!!! Please keep sharing your awesome work!!! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
Recording sideways is helping me as well. Love your videos. Happy Anniversary.
He’s beautiful!! Steve is making the world a better place, one horse at a time.
Jimmy responds very well and seems to have a good disposition despite having been allowed to become somewhat stubborn and disrespectful with the owner . With continued work I think he'll turn around and be a great pony to work with .
That is a beautiful horse! You work miracles ! From a bully to a moosh. Love it!
You build a good foundation for your house so you should do the same for your horse as well !! Stay Safe Everyone! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
wow Mel that is one brave woman. I love your videos Steve. You guys are awesome. So enjoying watching your videos on the full screen.
What a Lovely horse! Smart and learns quickly well done Steve lovely to see that! Firm but kind hand beautiful he did what you asked him to do. He is a horse that has found his way and needs firm hand his owner did the right thing in coming to you for help that's wonderful! He is learning and learning very well now much easier for the owners.
Oh the wind is miserable 😔 thanks for the voice over!!❤️
The lock that the horse gave Steve at 21:04 cracked me up!! I read in the horses eyes “ and who do you think you are?”
Mate,I Could not believe this ?
Durham is Where my Great Gand Mother Came from !
My Great Grand Father was from County Claire ,Ireland !
Beautiful ! Wonderful .🙏❤️🇦🇺🙏
Greetings from Texas, Steve and family. Thank you so much for your willingness (and that of your clients!) to post these videos so people like me can learn.
I got two of my horses (first time owner) 8 years ago and everything I thought I knew went out the window. I also learned I did not know how to ride after a few months of owning them. I ended up in an ambulance ride to the hospital that I don't remember much of and that very scary adventure (not the horses' - plural intended - fault) led me going deep into the rabbit hole of researching and watching videos and even subscribing to a couple trainers for a time.
In all that time, you are the first one I've heard say to look at their feet when you ask them to move. Not the shoulder, not the side, not the butt but their feet. I think it's going to be a significant help to my 5 year old gelding. He's very much on the 'that's going to eat me I'm going to run a mile away and then look at it' side of things. He has a lot of try and some willingness once I get his mind back to the immediate vicinity and not a mile away. We've had some confusion in communication, like when I want him to stand he thinks he's supposed to disengage.
Sorry for the mini-book, but I can write a MUCH longer one if you're ever interested. :) Thank you again!
Watching you drive, I just want to yell at the phone..” Stop!! you’re on the wrong side of the road!!!!!!” USA here😉Drives me crazy😆😆love you and precious Tanya so much💗Happy Anniversary dear ones🥂
Am a new follower and doesn’t have any horses but just love your videos. Love how you and wife’s partnership, how you engage and communicate with the horses, owners and us followers. Way to go Steve!
One of the Best Man for Horses i have seen❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love watching your videos! Please keep them coming. I used to have horses (about 25 years ago!) and I am amazed at all that I did not know but should have known to be a horse owner. Thank you for showing all that you do!
I don’t have anything to do with horses or horsemanship but I love watching you work with the animals and their owners, somehow it is very relaxing. Thank you for your hard work in making these vlogs. The ruins are Haverfordwest Priory, an Augustinian priory established in the late 12th to early 13th centuries.
Happy Anniversary you Sweet Folks.......we so enjoy your adventures....
Love watching you two your like a double act good team work aswell 💐 happy anniversary ❤️
Beautiful, majestic and powerful such a beautiful horse!
Happy anniversary. I've been learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to teach other people like me what to do.
So beautiful there , just loved coming along.
That was amazing. I have fallen love with Jimmy the most beautiful eyes and such an amazing horse.
You are a fantastic trainer
Hi There👋 Karen from Canada 🇨🇦 Wow another great video. I find the more I work with my horse the more sticky spots I find, the more unsure I get. Steve, thank you, when you send a new video out it's like magic you seem to touch base on where Armani and I have troubles. To be honest I really enjoyed the talk over, the communication of hand and mind came through brilliantly. Tanya thank you for your filming and all your attempts to forward Steve's information to us clearly. Plus even though you were not there this time, thank you Charlotte for everything you do to make this channel work!!!🤠🐎
Oh yes,
🎉🍻 Happy Anniversary!!!🥂🥳
Loving the voice over when the wind is howling Please keep that up.
So glad to see another video from you :-)
Thank you for the great lesson. I enjoyed this one and all previous as well. It's so important for these horses to have a better experience.
Good job Jimmy! Keep learning and show them all you have ❤️
Thank you so much for the voice over. Don’t want to miss a word😊. Love what you do.
So great to rewatch! The more I learn the more I am glued to the lessons. Thanks you two ❤
Love your videos,ive had my mare for 6 yrs,up to few weeks ago,I hadn't picked up her back feet.watching your method has helped me to pick her back feet up.ive been teaching her how to dance to Mambo #5 song.my mare is very quick learner,very smart.she now knows how to side up.only thing left to do is get me riding her.she is bigger than I'm used to,she very powerful.she has gates that I'm not use to.thank you so much.its made big difference.
Thank for addressing the wind, you make the greatest video. I have to turn the sound off, so im excited to be able to hear you better. Your amazing.
God bless U Steve !
U HAVE taken me back ,years ago with my Grandfather ? He like U was a master at handling a horse !
Definite ,But always kind & never Nasty to any horse that I ever did See !
A beautiful Horse, none the less ,now as an old Aussie Love these Majestic Animals ,Their Power,Their demeaner,Style ,& Grace !
A beautiful Video mate ,Something Else ! Love from Downunder Australia 🙏❤️☘️🇦🇺🙏
I love this horse he is so beautiful...lovely eyes so cute
I am glad you pointed out the left eye thing...I think my boy does that which I thought he was trying to block me, but now I am realizing I think he is trying to keep me on his left eye. My boy is pushy like this too. He does not back up to just the stick so I am going to try putting plastic bags on my stick to mimic a flag and see if he will respond better to that. I like the leading and driving exercise...going to try that one too. Thanks for all of these techniques.
Loved every minute as usual. Tanya I love how you greet the dogs and horses on your visits it makes me smile every time. You are so kind and genuine thank you both. Keep them coming please. 💕💋👍😀
Started watching your work a few months ago. I don’t have horses, nor have I ridden in years. Once the horse catches on, how subtle the language between you and the horse at times is amazes me. Truly amazing creatures. Thinking like the horse using their herd mentality, just wow.
This horse is such a good listener to Steve. Adored the clip of early Steve on his mare.
😲🥰swooning, what a beautiful boy.
Your a Blessing.. I'm from the USA. Love you accents. Guess I'd have one if I talked to you.
You are amazing, I will keep watching. Looking forward to being able to hear you as well. Thank you for addressing the sound situation. I just love your videos
Everything you use in your videos are wonderful to watch. It brings back my trainers clinic videos. Thank you so much for your training videos.
Hello from New York, USA. I am an animal lover. I do not have a horse but always wanted one. With the current world events, your videos help me relax and help me get to sleep - that's a compliment! You have a gift with these animals, a great sense of humor, and a beautiful family and life. Happy Anniversary to you and Tanya! Keep up the great work. I look forward to your postings.
You are doing great! Love your training videos. You help with and give us moments of ah ha! I love to watch your ground work and your how to understand the horse`s brain. Keep it going!
Happy anniversary! Loved this video. Landscape format is so much better and I really liked the voice-over!! You can point out the tiny details so much better this way... I get so much MORE from your training with the voice-over comments, thank you!
Loved the ending! Your friend Mel had Such confidence in that sticky situation! Very Impressive!💫
If you get a mic with a “dead cat”, it will cut wind noise quite a bit. The “dead cat” is a fluffy mic cover that moves in the wind without picking up the wind noise. Any mic will do, if you can find a fuzzy cover for it. The fuzzier the cover, the more wind it can handle without causing noise. When the mic is picking up wind,it will not pick up voices as well. Love the videos.
Amen. RUclipsr lesson 101!
Watch how his kind little stout pushy fellow always keeps his eyes on Steve right from very first few minutes. Don’t see that with the abused or troubled ones until end of the videos. This horse is a wonderful fellow that respects leadership. We as women must recognize what the equine object of our affections needs from us and then learn how to provide it in the moments that matter.
Thanks for the voiceovers! You did a great job. You have the “gift of gab” as we old folks say. Beautiful balance work. ❤️
Happy 39th Anniversary! Congratulations to you both! Blessing for many, many more happy years together with happiness, loads of love, and all good things! 🥂🍾❤
I love this guy and
I learn so much from each video!👍💪
Steve, the work you do, is Amazing to watch! You not only, Teach the Horses to Learn Respect.... you give Them a Calmness They so Need . ❤
It's Beautiful to See the Transformation.
Happy anniversary you two! And thanks for recording on your anniversary! 💜🤠
Happy anniversary you two, may you have at least 39 more.
Your voice over was great. Keep up the good work. Thanks for all you do.
Well done...loved the clip and story about your old horse, and seems like we've all had a Shamrock moment, anything you walk away from unbroken, is good.
Congratulations to you and Tanya on your BIG 39 years of marital bliss. I send you blessings from Virginia (USA)
What a lovely pony. He has beautiful eye lashes. He is a naughty one. He knows he is strong and his owner can't get him to move using brute force. So he just stands there and refuses to move because he can. Lol! The ladies need to be firmer with their horses so they are not taken advantage of. Firm but fair goes a long way with horses. I used to ride a Cob type sometimes in my youth he was huge around 16 hands and twice as big. He was naughty with the ladies including me and I was firm and fair. He would puff out his sides and hold his breath when one was putting on the saddle and if one did not check the girth one would get on the huge cob who would let out his breath and the saddle would go flying around with the huge cob making his escape. His other favourite trick was the pig jump. He would be going along nicely and suddenly hop to the side dispatching his rider. I got dispatched that way and knocked out cold as the girl I was doubling with landed on top of me and knocked me out. One day a huge man arrived with steel cap boots a construction worker type and took a liking to the huge cob. He was very firm but fair and the cob knew he had met his match. After being dumped a few times on the gravel driveway and putting the huge cob in his place he then behaved himself with his new rider and soon gave up his wicked tricks. The man used to show jump him wearing his steel capped boots and won many a jumping competition on him. It turned out the huge cob was quite the jumper and could jump enormous heights! Those two developed a really close partnership and the huge cob respected his new leader greatly.
Hahaha your face turned red so fast about the anniversary !!!!!! ❤❤❤ waya to go Tanya!!!! Love you two HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LOVE BIRDS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jimmy is adorable. So glad Steve helped to make him a sweeter boy. Hip hip hurray. ❤️❤️
What a gorgeous horse! I also have learned so much from your videos. Thank you.💕💕
Really liked the video. Thank you both.
I like the voice over, it’s good to hear your thoughts and comments. Love the video’s, I’ve learnt so much, thank you!
Love 💕 how you are with the horses 🐴 just beautiful how you treat them ….love watching your videos…,
Very, very good! So well done! LOVELY COUNTRY you’ve got there … AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love watching you with the horses and I also adore your wife.
Thanks so much for the voice over! Great job really appreciate it ❤️
LOVE the VOICE over this works very WELL this is a beautiful Varner Gypsy horse Lovely face and look. Training him up in basics is absolutely amazing how uickly you're ESTABLISHING his new discipline and cue signals Amazing to watch this THANK YOU
You level of patience, not only with the horses but also, the owners is incredible ❤️
Such a perfect video! Steve, you are the King of horse whisperers!
You and Jimmy clicked so well right from the get go. You have and are definitely doing what you should be doing in this life. You are sooo good at it!
I truly enjoy watching your videos! I can't imagine having a horse that has any kind of behavioral problem. The horses I had years ago weren't perfect, but they were sweethearts. No biting, kicking, etc. It's so wonderful that you can help so many people with their problem horses. You are such a blessing!
And Happy Anniversary to you and Tanya! May you have many, many more wonderful years together!
Big Hugs 🩷 Suzy
I LOVE this horse! Jimmy is personality. plus!
This video was SO helpful! I have a bully horse that has progressively gotten worse. I was getting mixed advice as to where to start. I love the idea of starting in his stall! I need to teach him to back up and give me space. Thank you so much!
What a gorgeous cob! I’d love him in my paddock 🐴🥰. Great job again Steve and there’s no way you can out-push a cob as you said. They are so strong and that’s what they are bred for - pulling wagons or trees etc. They naturally brace against pressure, but they can learn to be light.
Good show Steve and Co. Best of luck from Hamilton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Loving the voice over. Loving the landscape view. COngrats to you and Tanya! Tanya is a legend too for all the filming she does.
