So nice you can SEE that This Horse Is Not Saying NO - Not RESISTING - - He is saying I have a habitual uncomfortable reaction to the pad because of Likely Being Pushed Into This When Starting Early Days. Ryan Is So Good At Restarting - - Working In a Most Respectful Way to HELP THE HORSE LEARN - - I love watching him work TOGETHER with the Horse - Understanding How They LEARN and How To Communicate and Re Establish Something Less Pushy- - This is a Wonderfully Smart and Sweet Horse. This Owner is LUCKY . XO
I like this horse very Well put together 😊impressive 5 years worry taken away in one session - imagine what releaf it is fore this horse to finally relax and not worry so much😊
OMG the timing of this is literally amazing. My green 4 year old mare has a lot of concern about the most random things and once you break her trust its hard to convince her to give it back. I had some saddle fit issues and she started to get squirrely about being saddled. I gave her some time off to grow and to work on building her topline from the ground because I did not want to play the saddle fit game while she was mid growth spurt with how sensitive she is to improper saddle fit. I have only ridden her a handful of times in the past handful of months (in my old basic bareback pad) and she is just like this horse. once its on? perfect. But convincing her that its not infact the saddle with the broken tree has been a challenge. She was getting much better and then we had an incident with her fly sheet flank straps catching on themselves while I was taking it off and her getting caught up in it. (I am very happy I had the lead in my hands and she respects me even when she is loosing her mind because you could see she wanted to bolt but knew better and just had a melt down in place while she shimmied and bucked out of the blanket) And all of her progress went right back to square 1. I bought a really nice Werner Christ Iberica wool bareback pad since she rides really nice bareback and really want to get back to work on her training under saddle. I am a massively visual leaner so seeing how a horse who is acting exactly like mine is exactly what I need but it seems everyone only makes videos demonstrating and not actually showing the nitty gritty. Thank you!
Horses are the most compliant animals on this planet. When they say ‘no’, believe them. It’s our job as their caretakers to find out why they are saying ‘no’. There is always a reason; lack of education, physical pain, mental anxiety, past negative experiences. If we take the time to find out and resolve the issue, they will say ‘yes’, because that’s how giving they are.
Its so different to work with an introverted versus extroverted horse. And its amazing when you see where the horse started and where it ended in the video. Its not specatuclar, but a very well thought through lesson in making the horse part of your world before it even realises that this is the goal.
1. This is really timely for me and my horse! She is terrified of the blanket AND saddle. 2. I CRACKED up at the lady disrupting the video to walk through and then to "Ring the Bell" Pahahaha
Love how the ears indicate the horse noticing that Ryan noticed his concern about the pad. That meant something to him. It got easier after that. I’d be curious if he carries his head high when he is ridden. I think more ground work would be great for both horse and owner. He’s a nice horse.
Sometimes a horse gets worried about what is coming after the saddle pad goes on. I've seen a horse act this way because the person would put the saddle on and cinch up tight right away. We're always trying to evaluate how the horse is perceiving things because his perception often determines his actions.
It seems like he had a little bit of a hard time switching from accepting the flag to moving off of it. I ran into this with my OTTB when I was working on “energy vs. intention” (I think that’s a great phrase btw and it’s helped me a lot). He learned that stopping and relaxing his body was the answer, and when I later tried to get him to move off he was a bit confused and didn’t understand what changed. After a few minutes it clicked and he began to read my energy much better! I’m going to work on this more and I think it’s a SUPER important thing that is often overlooked. I had the opportunity to ride a H/J warmblood who was competing 3’6 and he didn’t seem to know this. He could be spooky at times and it was nearly impossible to reconnect with him once something else had his attention. He also had no idea how to back up. It amazes me when horses compete at high levels without knowing the basics. I’ve seen many examples of it and I think it’s something that should be addressed more often.
I'm always amazed that people wait until there's a problem to start a good Horsemanship program. I see this a lot with Parelli, HHHL , Pear tree ranch and of course Rose Horsemanship .
Love watching and learning, hoping to sign up to Patreon, $NZ makes it considerably more expensive 🤣. I have a question, if I may ask? I would like to know when you are working with a horse without the camera crew….do you use your voice much with the horse ie, move over, back up, good girl etc….or are you using physical cues only? Thank you from New Zealand ☺️
Release the fascial tension throughout the equine body. Therefore, reducing the restricted tissue, pain is all..... the neck is short and angular, and withers are tense, base narrow fore and hind. These areas have not been addressed.... sometimes we don't realise we are teaching the equine to accept its own pain and discomfort....... Axx
I wish I had the money to subscribe to Ryan's patreon! My horse has his own issues that I'm working through pretty well with the help of trainers and videos like these, but I'd love to hear a "psych evaluation" of him from Ryan lol!
This horse just needs the basics and a lot of groundwork. I don't think this horse has much basics at all. because he lacks basics he lacks being introduced to a lot so he is scared of everything.
It's sad that most horse owners still treat their horses like a car and not a partner. Sadly a lot of stabled horses are this way. Imagine being kept in a confined space, and only be let out 90% of the time to just ride, and then be locked back up. Treat your horse like a professional, build a partnership, gain trust, and take the time to always want to better yourself and your horse. In the long run it's less frustrating when the horse doesn't want to do something the way you want.
My mom bought me an 8-year-old unbroke quarter horse gelding when I was 16 and he was so easy to train except for we almost killed ourselves when it was time to put the saddle on. He had to be sent away after that and it took a long time for that even happened because he had unlimited energy to fight against that saddle. After that he was just all Bluff
Newbie horse owner here…. But if the horse is afraid of the pad…. Why not lay it on the ground to peek his curiosity. I have a young filly I’m training and while she’s still somewhat afraid of the monsters that aren’t there… she’s very smart and curious.
My horse was lunging to the right and left very good just the last couple days. She’ll learn good to the right but when I try to make her go to the left, she wants to run backwards and sideways. What am I doing wrong?
Why don’t horse trainers use voice cues more than I see them doing? Horses are smarter than dogs and look at all the verbal cues that dogs can understand and yet I don’t see that many horse trainers training their horses in a serious, extensive way with verbal cues. I’ve seen people say “walk on” as a verbal cue but I just don’t see it happening that much and I wonder why not. It seems like it would work with horses to teach basic vocabulary as is done with dogs. Horses are listening closely and you can see their ears twitching every time Ryan is talking. So why not talk directly to them and teach them basic language cues?
My ex had a dressage horse, and it was verbally trained. I had never ridden a horse with the verbal commands. My first time riding just about had me on the ground when I told him to stop. 😂😂😂
I think a couple reasons. In my experience, horses are extremely sensitive to body language and as Ryan describes it, our intention. I enjoy Ryan's quiet training, and have paid much more attention to my own work with horses and how I teach young riders as a result of that. The change is amazing, actually. I also think that if you often ride with others, a horse may listen to others voice cues instead of yours? I remember quite clearly being a kid in a show ring and my mare responding to the judge's request for a gait instead of my cue... I was lucky as a kid. Horses do easily learn voice cues though.
Many do. Horses aren't smarter than dogs. One of the issues with training is that horses listen to your seat more than your voice. A rider needs to be very conscious of all the signals he's sending to his horse. Your seat may be speaking louder to the horse than what you think you're saying. If your weight shifts and pressure are saying one thing and your reins and legs another, your horse will be quite confused.
I ride dressage and we can’t use verbal cues during tests, so I rarely use them under saddle when training. I do use verbal cues during groundwork though.
A horse used for roping. Roping calves, team roping events, etc.. Basically they have to be okay with whatever is being roped, like calves, being all around them and sometimes running, and then OK with a calf being connected to their rider/saddle with a rope, which at times will have pressure applied to it.
The Human needs training First!! I truly thought we are Out Of The Stone-age with Dominance training and flooding ( flag in this short clip). Can't even watch the entire video after seeing a Man waving flag and holding hirse to " Deal" with it. Ugh😢
Ryan is one of the most compassionate trainers I have ever worked with. Most people who call themselves "trainers" just throw the pad and saddle on and just force the horse to take it. This horse has been bothered and worried for 5 years. Ryan is taking the worry away in one short session.
@victorialowry638 bothered for 5 years- that's not a horse-issuw- but a human issue. He talks a lot, but in the End he desensitized/ shuts down the horse. One has to be Congruent in intention And action. THAT helped the horse to Trust a human- which needs no Desensitizing

A gentle giant. I like him! He just needs help working through some things.
I love this video and how you show change is possible thru soft repetition....and not aggressive force. Thank you!

WTG Ghillie & Amy. So happy to see that Ryan was able to help you out. He’s such a good boy.

This horse tries so hard to be a good boy and figure this out even though he's pretty concerned about everything!
That was a beautiful session!
That's a big boy!

Body language/intention...
I would like to see more verbal cues in the training.

Gilly has some big feet! Gilly can trot across quicksand with those feet. I like him.

My was fine to ride too. But resistant to being saddled. He has kissing spine. Xrays revealed this. Body workers, chiropractors, vets all missed it.
Whats going on with the mustang?
That's what I came to see
Lots of videos have been posted on Patreon with the Mustang! Watching all the sessions with Marley have been so educational.
How does your saddle fit him? How long have you had him?
What a beautiful horse. What breed is he?
Percheron Thoroughbred cross
How does it go with the mustang? Didn't hear anything about it for a long time?
My horse was lunging to the right and left very good just the last couple days. She’ll learn good to the right but when I try to make her go to the left, she wants to run backwards and sideways. What am I doing wrong?

There are a whole lot of ground work steps that need to be accomplished before you go to putting a saddle pad on. Build a good foundation first.
Whats a ROPE HORSE?

Basically they have to be okay with whatever is being roped, like calves, being all around them and sometimes running, and then OK with a calf being connected to their rider/saddle with a rope, which at times will have pressure applied to it.
What if this horse was Endo the Blind?? Something to contemplate.
The Human needs training First!!

Ugh😢
You need to watch and listen to the purpose behind the method. Also, with animals and children you must train them or both will be out of control.

Traching Helplessness is Not benefitial to horses@@victorialowry638
@victorialowry638 bothered for 5 years- that's not a horse-issuw- but a human issue.
He talks a lot, but in the End he desensitized/ shuts down the horse.
One has to be Congruent in intention And action.
THAT helped the horse to Trust a human- which needs no Desensitizing
@@RaniTanny I would like to see some of your horse training ". Post it please.
