I would really like to see as many sessions with this horse as possible. It would be a great instructional series both from the horse and rider perspective. Robert does such a great job we could all learn a great deal from watching him with this horse.
Me too! Saber reminds me of my Arabian mare who never left her pipe corral until I bought her as a yearling. We had to introduce her to the whole world!
My comment is for any horse owner. When you get them as babies and yearlings. Take them on walks around where they are kept. I used to do that in the years before I even thought about throwing a saddle on. It gives them so much more to get over and be over with by the time you ever put a saddle on or think about riding. I used to do it with both of my Arabian geldings. By the time they were ready to be ridden, they were pretty well over the silliness of spooking at most things along the road and driveway. And in those walks, they also learn to trust their person leading them. It's a good bonding experience for horse and owner. You definitely aren't doing them any favors by keeping them just in an arena. The world is a big space and the sooner they see more of it, the better off they will be.
Agree 100%. Arena work is important, of course, but learning about the big wide world is invaluable (and so very easy at certain stages of their 'childhood') and sets a horse up for its entire future - and none of us can possibly know what that future of, maybe, a quarter of a century, might bring. The first ride out on a youngster who's already accustomed to all the otherwise-confronting stuff outside the safe enclosure of arena or school, will likely be a non-event, with the youngster confident in familiar surroundings.
Absolutely, I did long walks along a lot of scary tracks with my mare when she was a foal and she is absolutely bulletproof. Her brother, owned by my mother, only went out on the pasture and didn't see much else. He is quite a bit like Saber in this video and it is really annoying cause it could be so much easier had he done walks outside starting as a foal.
Wow, Robert is another great trainer! Steady and cool, acts like it’s a walk in the park. He reminds of some of the middle eastern trainers, the Arabian horse is jumping around like a jack rabbit and they just go with it. The athleticism of this breed is second to none. This horse has a whole new life ahead of him now that he is no longer King of the Hill.
Once this Arab matures and gets confidence about the world around him , I think he would love endurance competitions and excel at it. So much pent up energy. Nice work Robert.
He did a great job. I think it’s important to let new horse owners know that it’s always okay to get off and walk your horse through whatever he’s getting antsy about. Always ride to your level. You can ride him through it next time or the next time. Destination is the same no matter when you get there.
Robert's doing a great job. He stays so calm even when the horse is leaping around. Funny when he was so preoccupied with the cows he didn't spot the horse in the blanket, then on the way back he spooks at it🤣 He will be a beautiful ride for someone once you've got all that energy going the right way!
Excellent job, Robert. Your confidence is remarkable. The horse would spook, I would spook 😂 and you just kept those feet moving. You and Tim make an excellent pair!! I know he appreciates you for the starting process.
The bull should be Clark Gable. I know all of the actresses. The thing I like the best about Robert's voice is that he doesn't speak with anger. Even when he reprimands Saber it's in a low steady voice with emphasis. I enjoyed hearing him explain to the horse what was going on and that he understood. Saber really wasn't too squirrelly. He tried really hard and tried to maintain his manners and only showed his butt 1 or 2 times. I'm curious, did you teach your son-in-law how you do things? Was he already doing some of what you do? Ya'll make a heck of a team.
Robert did a phenomenal job with Saber. Cool and collected and having Saber literally face his fears. Well done. I recognize all of the actresses names except one. What about naming the bull John Wayne? Great video as always Tim!
Saber wishes it to be known that there are way too many boogers on your property and he strongly disapproves. Now peel him a grape please. But seriously Robert does an awesome job! And thank you Malinda for following so we could see!
I laughed out loud when you said Judy Norton after mentioning those other actresses from the past. Judy Norton, who used to star in The Walton's, is still with us thankfully. She is a good actress and a talented singer as well. I stumbled across her RUclips channel earlier this year, and she has been fun to watch as she tells what went on behind the scenes on the show and has also interviewed some of her former co-stars.
First, of all the videos I’ve watched, that was one of my favorites. I encounter this with my horse and I sometimes have to get off of her and walk her past a scary object. I was glad to see Robert do that as I have been told not to dismount. Second, I don’t think I would know how to ride a horse that spirited; Robert rode her so patiently and calmly. Finally, when Saber is full trained she will be a champion!
Sabre is just a high energy baby. He’s got the behavior of a 2 - 4 year old that’s all. Yer just finding the holes. I had a stallion that was the same way, it took a while after we gelded him and with a lot of patience he became a good performer. Yer doing great! Sabre sure is a pretty one.
Wow! Tim, - very entertaining and informative video. Kudos to Robert, did he have a bit of Superglue or Velcro on his butt? And the cows with movie star names! Funnny! Sabre: "but, but... that horse is wearing a Blanket! AND his name's FLASH! = Danger!" It sure does look as if Sabre has been sheltered from the world. But he doesn't panic, has a good mind. I think your plan for more brain-challenging work is just what he needs.
Great horse! Reminds me so much of my own horse. He will be fine once he is more used to its new environment. Being castrated and moved somewhere else is quite difficult to process. Great job with training! lots of patience needed🙂
Robert did great! Keeping it consistent and calm until he got what he wanted. I happen to love the movie, "McLintock," with Maureen O'Hara and think John Wayne did a super job playing her opposite, such a cute and funny movie. So, since you have a Maureen O'Hara, I think "Duke" should be a serious contender for your bull's name.
Quite the stimulating outing for Saber but even with all his energy and spooking he wasn't near as wild as he could have been. Robert did a great job and for some horses it takes time. At least you have forward 🙂
This was great too see. For those of us who don't have horses, even those who do, seeing how y'all work them through the various issues is good watchin'. My husband grew uo on a horse, milked cows, but hasn't done either for decades. My grandparents had dairy cattle, I loved that but they didn't have horses. Loved seeing this! Hope too see more in the future🙂
He reminds me of a child with Asperger Syndrome that over reacts to lights, sound, touch etc. So sensitive and tense. It will be a real challenge to bring calmness and trust into his flighty mind. Good work! If i saw a wooly mammoth in the pasture I would act the same way lol
I am the same way with talking to my animals ❤❤❤ I tell them every step or turn or who’s coming to visit. I know it’s kinda silly but I’ve always talked my thoughts/feelings out to the pets we have around 🤷🏻♀️😂🙏🏻
Great work Robert! Saber has a whole new world out there to experience, but he’s a drama queen when it’s something he’s never seen. It’s seasoning him with experience and confidence that will make him an amazing horse! Can’t wait to see more! ❤️
I had a National Show Horse (Arab/Saddlebred cross) that was just like that from only being a show horse. Anything that touched him outside of an arena scared the crap out of him. Once he settled down for trails he was amazing. Would ride anywhere and LOVED trails. Arabs just need exposer and trust. Once that is complete they will climb trees for you.
Everything about this video is so terrific, but I just LOVE how Robert keeps a constant conversation going with Sabre. It kind of reminds me of me (a tiny bit) even though I am not as solid as Robert. Omar Shariff might be a good name for your bull.
G’day TAH&RT Team & Co ;-) Tim & Robert exceptional job training Sabre, with all the elasticity and prowess of a cat, with the reach of an octopus! Oh & that beautiful calming voice to sooth any worry.. Lots of stimulation desensitisation challenges to come with him… With many source blessings with truth clarity love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures abundance wisdom wealth health and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 xo 😘
I learned so much watching Robert ride him! Great work to both of you. I wish I had a small fraction of your knowledge and experience. Thank you for pointing out Robert's timing with the bumps.
@@jenniferlehman326 I agree with your comment. Hey jennifer, I'm also in Ontario and see your comments on other channels too. You seem to have a lot of life experience. I enjoy your observations and I too think Tim Anderson is great. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!😀
Robert you have great balance and seat. Your patience and calmness is exactly what Saber needs. My last horse was a Paso who was the calmest easiest horse I could ever have. I used him many times to ride with someone who had a new horse that they weren't sure how their horse would behave on the trail. Having a seasoned calm horse does wonders to help instill confidence in a spooky horse that is afraid of everything. When I bought my Paso he was only 4 years old and had been trained for show. Trail riding was new to him but he took to it like a pro. It takes a lot of wet blankets and miles to get a horse to trust you and relax on the trail. I know you are showing Saber as he is right now, but once his hormones go down to normal for a gelding, it might be beneficial to pair him up with a calm seasoned trail horse so he can see that everything is not going to attack him. Saber is really afraid of everything and it will take a lot of rides to make him safe.
Thank you for this video! My top 3 bull name suggestions are... Spencer Tracy, William Holden, and Humphry Bogart- with an honourable mention going to Jason Robards. Please let us know what you end up naming him!
Omg, I was already loving this series with Saber, but names of the cows!!! My favorite actress (the most beautiful ever!) 1st up Maureen O'Hara!!! And yes I know all the others!! I'm sold on your channel for sure now!! I used to have a small herd of Arabians (bays!) many years ago and everything I'm watching here is like taking a step back in time and watching myself on our horses. We had beefers and no other horse worked them as nimbly and smartly as the Arabs. Best, most intelligent breed ever!! Perfect hooves too... they stayed in perfect shape and condition even without regular trimming. Those horses were like solid off the range horses!!
We used to have an experienced horse go with us for any newbies. The experienced horse would go over the bridge and let the new ones know it's okay. Beautiful horse. He's going to be wonderful on trails and obstacles once he's comfortable.
He didn't noticed the horse with the blanket because he was looking at the cows. If I give him a buddy horse then he's going to look at him and I'd rather he look at the scary stuff and get used to it.
Very very nice video. I loved watching roberts calm quiet yet consistent request for forward morion while recognizing Sabor's reluctance was fear based.... I believe his continuing to ask is what is key to building confidence for Sabor. I love how Roberts demenor and voice stayed at the same level for the majority of the video. I also liked how he used his voice in a more demanding tone without getting angry.... he was just more insisting. I also loved how he talked to Sabor the whole time. I think that does two things i think it helps calm the horse and I think it also does the same for the rider and helps both concentrate on staying level headed The two of you make a great training team. I can tell that robert is a very intelligent and compassionate trainer. Both if you are great models for me because many of the horse people in my area are tough and aggressive with handling horses. My vote for the bulls name is Hugh Hefner... hahaha.... Mist fitting name 😂 Merry Christmas and thanks for all you do to educate me ❤
Robert is veey clam like you, saber reminds me of a Aeab stud I bought who waa flighty, neevous, and had the same dance routine when mounting, and bath. I used to " oh hell.anotger bogabear you'r safe, lets go" Merry Christmas to all
Your son Tobert is AMAZING! He is so calm, cool, level-headed but firm with this horse, and I can't believe he did get tgrown a half dozrn timed. EXCELLENT trainet. 👍 Grest jib, Sir!
I have to go with Hugh for the bull LOL. I'm in love with Saber, but it's mostly because he reminds me so much of my favorite horse ever who I lost a few years back. He was gelded at about the same age and I swear he went from being full of confidence to being a scaredy cat, but as the hormones balanced out a bit his mind came back to where he was much more focused again. Hormones definitely affect the brain. I remember for awhile Raj acted like he was going blind, but the university couldn't find anything. I didn't want to correct his behavior wrong if it was due to a sight issue. A magnesium supplement was very helpful through the hormonal change. Literally a night and day difference in his spookiness and calming.
My old boss named their beef cows after family members. Mom, dad, Ryan etc. Their daughter had a friend over & mom was on the menu. Unfortunately, mom was also working at the hospital that evening. The little girl called her parents & they called the police. Their mom got the weirdest phone call ever at work. 😊 Hugh Hefner is awesome
Tiger woods is a great name for your bull ❤ your son in law is also an amazing trainer I see . Thank you for the videos looking forward to more .what a great journey this is with that horse thank you so much for sharing this with us all…..
He reminds me so much of KC, an Arabian I used to ride at my trainer’s place. I adored him - he was very spooky, especially by the big door at the end of the arena. I can’t count how many times I had to “take his head away” to get him to listen to me rather than panic about imaginary worries. This boy is so much like him❤
You mentioned that you and Robert do not talk much. That is why I love to learn from your videos. It gives me time to absorb the lesson without unnecessary constant talking. Looking forward to more with Saber. I am training my own very smart Arabian who gets bored immediately.
I know this wasn't exactly the worst horse ever, but you weren't kidding about how he can stick a horse. It's impressive how he keeps the horse's nose pointed exactly where he wants even as the body goes back and forth around the 6:00 mark
Do you have a really tame and quiet older cow you could put next to him in a small pen, or in a paddock where he can't see any other horses? I think he'd soon lose his fear and get friendly with the cow - maybe too friendly! Otherwise, Robert is talking him through everything really quite beautifully, even his dramatic outbursts. He's clearly totally unused to the things and happenings of the big wide world - my mare learnt all about it as a 2 and 3yo, when she was malleable and very dependent on me (on the ground) to be her leader and confidence-giver. It will be a very different learning process for a mature (former) stallion.

My thoughts exactly, walk them out at first, bonding and trusting you so they can relax because you are there.
@@josephinestecak4945 Why not just get off 5x and then the horse will cross with no problem.
Wow, Robert is another great trainer! Steady and cool, acts like it’s a walk in the park. He reminds of some of the middle eastern trainers, the Arabian horse is jumping around like a jack rabbit and they just go with it. The athleticism of this breed is second to none. This horse has a whole new life ahead of him now that he is no longer King of the Hill.
barbaratardy9788, yes Robert did a great job! One difference in his style though, is that I didn't see any yanking on the reins.
Once this Arab matures and gets confidence about the world around him , I think he would love endurance competitions and excel at it. So much pent up energy. Nice work Robert.
Arabs are naturally hot and sharp . he would benefit greatly being turned out next to cattle.
A horse like this in the wrong hands could have been a disaster, but in the right hands he will be fantastic! Good job!
What a beautiful horse! Really enjoyed watching Robert ride him outside of the arena. I agree, Saber is a bit of a Drama Queen, Lol!
Pretty will put you in the hospital.

You can ride him through it next time or the next time. Destination is the same no matter when you get there.
Yep! It's a process, not an event, is my new mantra.
You can hear Tim in other videos working a horse and keeps the days goal in mind. It isn’t always about crossing the bridge.
Robert's doing a great job. He stays so calm even when the horse is leaping around.
Funny when he was so preoccupied with the cows he didn't spot the horse in the blanket, then on the way back he spooks at it🤣 He will be a beautiful ride for someone once you've got all that energy going the right way!

I was just thinking that you must be pretty proud of those cows. Those are the best actresses there were. Hahaha. Merry Christmas.
I liked how Robert talked to him the whole time to help calm him and used encouragement rather than force to build confidence. Excellent video.
For all his anxiety, Saber never loses it, thanks to Robert's demeanor. His voice is so calming. Your bull reminds me of Vin Diesel.
Oh thats a great name!
Sabre is just a high energy baby. He’s got the behavior of a 2 - 4 year old that’s all. Yer just finding the holes. I had a stallion that was the same way, it took a while after we gelded him and with a lot of patience he became a good performer. Yer doing great! Sabre sure is a pretty one.
I’m impressed with the looks of the horse but Robert really is doing a great job training him especially with the horse’s fear of the cows.
Saber is truly a horse with future! He will be fine. So green under saddle but trying to grow up!!
Wow! Tim, - very entertaining and informative video. Kudos to Robert, did he have a bit of Superglue or Velcro on his butt? And the cows with movie star names! Funnny!
Sabre: "but, but... that horse is wearing a Blanket! AND his name's FLASH! = Danger!"

Great horse! Reminds me so much of my own horse. He will be fine once he is more used to its new environment. Being castrated and moved somewhere else is quite difficult to process. Great job with training! lots of patience needed🙂
Robert has a great seat and did a great job. Lots of patience. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
12:03 “Don’t touch the fence” 😳. Well, that would be interesting to see.
Robert did great with this horse. There is nothing wrong with getting off & then getting back on.
Paul Newman for the bull’s name!
Robert has a glue butt! Sabre is an expert booger finder! Excited to watch his progress!
I'd name that bull Valentino. I love how Robert is able to cut off the " cut and run" before it happens.
I agree with another poster, Once this horse gets smoothed out, he’d be excellent in endurance..
Being from Tasmania, I think Erol Flynn would be a great name for the bull. Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄❤️
Robert did great! Keeping it consistent and calm until he got what he wanted. I happen to love the movie, "McLintock," with Maureen O'Hara and think John Wayne did a super job playing her opposite, such a cute and funny movie. So, since you have a Maureen O'Hara, I think "Duke" should be a serious contender for your bull's name.
I love that movie too!
Great job Robert!. You stayed so calm and just worked through it all. It really helped Sabre.
Robert is great at his job. You are blessed to have him to deal with young/green horses and keeping you safe. Great video.
What a gorgeous horse!!!
Great job Robert. thanks Tim. .Merry Christmas to all. From Australia.
Hedy Lamar was a genius involved in computing and radar I think during WWII
That is correct.
I like Robert’s style! And he sure has a good seat! Thanks Tim for sharing another educational video.
He has the patience of a saint. Well done.
Quite the stimulating outing for Saber but even with all his energy and spooking he wasn't near as wild as he could have been. Robert did a great job and for some horses it takes time. At least you have forward 🙂
This was fantastic to watch. I am very impressed by how calm Robert stayed the entire time. Thank you so much I learned so much.

He reminds me of a child with Asperger Syndrome that over reacts to lights, sound, touch etc. So sensitive and tense. It will be a real challenge to bring calmness and trust into his flighty mind. Good work! If i saw a wooly mammoth in the pasture I would act the same way lol
Talking to Arabians is really important. They respond well to verbal communication. Helps to refocus their busy brain.
What a job. Wow
You are both amazing trainers. This horse acts like he hasn't seen much outside of his stall for the last seven years.
Yes, I remember those actresses. But I am 73.
I am the same way with talking to my animals ❤❤❤ I tell them every step or turn or who’s coming to visit. I know it’s kinda silly but I’ve always talked my thoughts/feelings out to the pets we have around 🤷🏻♀️😂🙏🏻

Awesome rider knew how to handle the situation and kept calm. I would of shite myself lol, and yes I’d love to see more of his progress
I've watched this a few times now. This is a great training resource. I like the way Robert is talking to Sabre in a calm manner. ❤
Good job getting Sabre to get over his fears and the don’t want to’s.

Beautiful horse
I learned so much watching Robert ride him! Great work to both of you. I wish I had a small fraction of your knowledge and experience. Thank you for pointing out Robert's timing with the bumps.
Big difference in how the horse is handled for mounting. Tim would not let him dance around like that 😊
Actually at this point I do. Never get in a fight with a green horse to stand still and the tactic of lunging to stand does not work for Arabians.

The two of you make a great training team. I can tell that robert is a very intelligent and compassionate trainer. Both if you are great models for me because many of the horse people in my area are tough and aggressive with handling horses.
My vote for the bulls name is Hugh Hefner... hahaha.... Mist fitting name 😂
Merry Christmas and thanks for all you do to educate me ❤
Robert is veey clam like you, saber reminds me of a Aeab stud I bought who waa flighty, neevous, and had the same dance routine when mounting, and bath. I used to " oh hell.anotger bogabear you'r safe, lets go"
Merry Christmas to all
Your son Tobert is AMAZING! He is so calm, cool, level-headed but firm with this horse, and I can't believe he did get tgrown a half dozrn timed. EXCELLENT trainet. 👍 Grest jib, Sir!
I have to go with Hugh for the bull LOL. I'm in love with Saber, but it's mostly because he reminds me so much of my favorite horse ever who I lost a few years back. He was gelded at about the same age and I swear he went from being full of confidence to being a scaredy cat, but as the hormones balanced out a bit his mind came back to where he was much more focused again. Hormones definitely affect the brain. I remember for awhile Raj acted like he was going blind, but the university couldn't find anything. I didn't want to correct his behavior wrong if it was due to a sight issue. A magnesium supplement was very helpful through the hormonal change. Literally a night and day difference in his spookiness and calming.
I watched to the end....it'll take maybe maybe 10 times to settle him.....such a good video.
My old boss named their beef cows after family members. Mom, dad, Ryan etc. Their daughter had a friend over & mom was on the menu. Unfortunately, mom was also working at the hospital that evening. The little girl called her parents & they called the police. Their mom got the weirdest phone call ever at work. 😊 Hugh Hefner is awesome
That's hilarious!
I've never seen a horse that's more like a cartoon character. It's fun to watch
Really great video, Robert did a great job, I found this really interesting to watch, thank you
Tiger woods is a great name for your bull ❤ your son in law is also an amazing trainer I see . Thank you for the videos looking forward to more .what a great journey this is with that horse thank you so much for sharing this with us all…..
He reminds me so much of KC, an Arabian I used to ride at my trainer’s place. I adored him - he was very spooky, especially by the big door at the end of the arena. I can’t count how many times I had to “take his head away” to get him to listen to me rather than panic about imaginary worries. This boy is so much like him❤
You mentioned that you and Robert do not talk much. That is why I love to learn from your videos. It gives me time to absorb the lesson without unnecessary constant talking. Looking forward to more with Saber. I am training my own very smart Arabian who gets bored immediately.
No approach and retreat? This works with my horse. Thank you.
Not the right thing for this situation.
“He’s a little bit of a drama queen” 😁 Sure he’s not a mare?🤣
It’s hedly, hedly Lamar lmao!!!!! Beyond impressed with you and with this fella, talking or not always interesting to watch
I know this wasn't exactly the worst horse ever, but you weren't kidding about how he can stick a horse. It's impressive how he keeps the horse's nose pointed exactly where he wants even as the body goes back and forth around the 6:00 mark
The name for the bull: Robert Redford. 😂 Great video. Thank you ❤
I had an Arab that was a working cow horse from Nebraska. He was great. Went all day and got really excited when he got to work cows.
I showed at arabian nationals in cow horse.
Good Job! And yes sir, I remember those actresses! Maureen O'Hara was my favorite! Hugh Hefner for the bull... LOL
this was great to watch/ such a brave rider thank you
Jake Lamotta for the bulls name.
Great video, Robert manages Saber in such a cool and calm way.
Do you have a really tame and quiet older cow you could put next to him in a small pen, or in a paddock where he can't see any other horses? I think he'd soon lose his fear and get friendly with the cow - maybe too friendly!
Otherwise, Robert is talking him through everything really quite beautifully, even his dramatic outbursts.
He's clearly totally unused to the things and happenings of the big wide world - my mare learnt all about it as a 2 and 3yo, when she was malleable and very dependent on me (on the ground) to be her leader and confidence-giver. It will be a very different learning process for a mature (former) stallion.
I love Saber. He's flawless and wonderful! I want him! ❤
Bull name: Clark Gable or Peppy Lapeu
I just rewatched this and heard Robert. "I dont like ya. Not THAT much." When Saber got all in Robert's space. 😂😂😂
