Old school rushing their training. How much were they prepared for this “breaking”? What’s the rush in your breaking method? Is this all the ground work they received? You might want to watch Buck Brannaman’s training videos or attend one of his many workshops.
5-10 light rides on a colt and quitting on a good note isn’t a bad deal. They aren’t getting camped on and they probably get turned out for another year to mature. It’s easy to be critical but I’m guessing that most people don’t understand that riding a six or seven year old “colt” that’s been turned out in big country, has a hell of a lot of self preservation and get around in his blood by that point . If you want to ride them at that age and they’re ranch raised, it takes some grit, miles and mettle. These colts aren’t imprint backyard pets and treat sniffers and these guys are big and yes the horses are small, but they value them too much to dare ruining a potentially good horse. And they’ve got enough sense to not want to put the first rides on “7 year old mates.” People have to understand that it’s light, easy and then they’re turned out to be horses again for long points in between riding until they’re mature enough to handle the work.
Too young to be ridden, I waited until my mate was 7 to back her as she was a slow growing breed. People are in too much of a rush. There is no need to back horses in such an aggressive way any more. It's so outdated and leaves the horses with unnecessary trauma. When my horse was being backed she never showed any of the behaviours you've demonstrated in this video. She was quiet, calm and didn't buck once, and never has since. Never spooky or dramatic. Proof that going slower and giving them time to process is so much better. I'm glad I don't live in the USA, I'd never buy a horse from you a it's clear you'd have damaged them!
They are not to young 😂 and seven 😅 geeeesh i ride thoroughbreds and at two we are starting ours up smh and nothing ever is wrong with em smh the people of today believe any myth thats told
Never seen such lethargic colts before. They been wormed? Any Ace used? Grandma could have ridden them. Could we see the same techniques used on colts from Montana?
"Some feel that 2 years of age is too early start in training. However scientific studies do not necessarily support this idea. In fact, there’s a strong body of evidence that young horses that have moderate exercise early in life have decreased developmental orthopedic problems and future athletic injuries. The keys are recognizing each horse’s individual differences in physical development and to not overtrain." ~ W. Wesley Sutter DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVS "Based on scientific evidence, the research cited in this review supports the training and racing of two-year-old horses..." ~ Abstract, 'Training Young Horses: The Science behind the Benefits,' National Library of Medicine
@@gerrycoleman7290 While children in competition and athletes are better studied, horses parallel the human model in terms of beneficial load bearing and strength training from an early age _with a plan and within reason_ with continuous attention to the horse's safety. How big is the trainer/rider? What’s the weight of the saddle? Is it a 10 lb. endurance saddle or a 50+ pound ranch-roper? What's the duration under saddle? What's the surface? What is being asked, and is it appropriate for the individual horse? For example, are there any physical differences between a Percheron and a POA that might influence what's appropriate? I'll offer the example of my 5 horses. Albeit anecdotal evidence, it is not at all exceptional. I've owned my horses since age 2 with the exception of one being a colt out of my own mare. All AQHA, all started at 2. My oldest 2 will be 26 in May. The youngest 2 are coming 20. Issues with lameness in their lifetimes: None - zero dollars spent to diagnose or treat any joint or connective tissue injury. I credit my planning, development, and considerate use of these horses beginning at age 2 for this blessing. Clinicians I've followed for decades start 2 year olds. Hall of fame trainers like Al Dunning, for example, is working with a 2 year old here: ruclips.net/video/g9VQdZ1tyB8/видео.html Keep in mind these sturdy colts are bred for the work asked of them. Also, ask yourself if these top competitors bidding as high as 100K for a colt would push their 2 year olds over a threshold that risked injury. The only generalization that is always true is that knee-jerk generalizations are always wrong. If you need to argue your perspective further, perhaps you could contact Dr. Sutter and present your peer reviewed contradictions to his conclusion that, “The keys are recognizing *each horse’s individual differences* in physical development and to not overtrain,” with a result of, "decreased developmental orthopedic problems and future athletic injuries." If the rider/trainer is inappropriately large or the horse not developmentally ready, at least begin with the weight of a saddle added for ground work and exercise to encourage more robust development that will benefit the horse throughout his lifetime.

Guess you dont realize, Buck and Curt are friends eh? LOL..

Yes sir 💪

Trust me, the “USA” is glad you don’t live here either.

@@tribecattleco I second that statement!!

200 lb men on700 lb ponies
7:22 You are too big for that horse.
The colts should not be ridden. They have not finished growing yet.

@@jimmyyounger618 Well then those 'some' are morons. I suppose you believe in the tooth fairy too.
Agree. Those men are huge
@@jimmyyounger618 BS. Two years old is way too young to begin riding.
