Hi Rick i've been following your channel for a long time, you did a good job getting these babies home. You are a great horseman. I have to comment about the English Monarchys horses, i was offended at your take on the awful event that happened in London when they were out exercising and learning how to cope with traffic, crowds etc. all part of their education. I'm Australian and have bred and raced thoroughbreds, show, station horses. On that awful day in London a construction crew dropped slabs of concrete near the horses so if course many panicked, threw their riders. Every rider is experienced, seasoned military and chosen for their horsemanship. This event has devastating them. I've been to the Mews where the horses are stabled, believe me Rick, the Kings horses are pampered, loved and live their best lives. For half the year they are turned out to the most beautiful pastures you can imagine, by the coastline in Norfolk, watched over by veterinarians, hundreds of acres of lush green pastures. These horses are loved. Yes, they have duties such as Trooping the Colours and other Royal duties. The two you saw injured as they ran panicked through the streets have had surgery and are now recovering in Norfolk from their injuries. They may resume their duties or if the trauma has affected them they will be cared for on a Royal estate. Every horse has one handler who bonds with them and loves them. Please dont feel badly for the Royal horses, believe me Rick they are pampered and loved.
I appreciate you support but according to you these people are good and caring and yet Four of Five horses were put in a situation too fast that they could not handle, were able to break away from all these great owners and the horses had to pay with fear, pain and injury. Sorry but we have to agree to disagree.
We have a very differend view of pampering. I pamper my horses by not putting painful bits in their mouth, not making them walk and stand of concrete with shoes on or making them stand in stalls hours and hours. The streets of london (may I add in the MASSIVE expence of taxpayers of UK) is no place for horses when they do not serve a proper purpose. They are just PR so the lonarchs can be all fancy amd mighty. Police horse, army horse they all are just a show eventho the riders are actual police- and military professionals. Anthromorphising horses by thinking expensive blankets and stables with fancy interior designs and shandeliers is just false. Horses want to be horses and they do not enjoy city.
@@ThinkLikeAHorsethe fact is that there's no really 100% safe way to handle horses anywhere. Even an expert won't be able to account for unforeseen events like a huge slab of concrete being negligently dumped right next to a whole herd of mounted horses. They've been riding horses through London for thousands of years and overall their modern safety record is quite good and the horses are very well treated. Don't be so harsh because of one awful incident. There are plenty of real abusers out there. Let's go after them instead.
Rick to the Rescue! You were just talking about this scenario on your live today! Proof Rick does Think Like A Horses... Great Job from a Great Horseman with a Heart of Gold! I can't believe you met Scooby's Dad doing this. I would never forget anyone who saved my dog, horses, or cat.. Your a Good Boy Rick!
I can't think of a better guy to have been there at that moment! Great narration on critical points in situations like this! Best "how to catch a horse" video from you yet Rick! 😊🐴
In this video, we have Rick in his natural habit. Notice Rick's ear are perked, confident, non-threatening...... :o) Great job Rick, good neighbors are hard to come by these days, especially one that understands horsey language, and not just horsey lingo, but most other 2 or 4 legged animals lingos. Stay safe my friend, may God continue to shine his grace upon you, and your viewers!
Thank you for sharing this. And also helping them get safely back. About 26 years ago I worked at a variety of sites. An was on my way to work. Took the back road to a site. Saw something moving on the side of the two lane I was on ( it was night time). Turn out to be a horse that escaped, it's new home and was heading back to his old home. Stopped by this farm that had three trucks by the side of the fence. They were looking for Sam. And they were waiting for him at his old home Short story, made shorter . They got him home. And former Standardbred horses can jump.
Rick is a modern day Cowboy! You once again proved that you are not just talk, but all about knowing what to do! Such beautiful horses and I'm glad nobody got hurt.
Scnarios like this really separate the kooks and the quacks from the few who know what they're doing. Amazing job Rick! No horsies were harmed in the making of this video!
Thank you, Rick 🥰 Great video. Your small act of kindness probably saved the lives of those beautiful horses, and you're right, that little grey is cute ❤ Hugs for your boys, and have a lovely, relaxing evening, Rick 🥰🥰
Dapple grays, and blue roans are my favorite! They're all cute though, and glad you were able to catch them Rick! Thank you for focusing on the task first, and filming second, but also very grateful for sharing the opportunity to educate us.
the horses were like" this monster got our leader we better go home or were doomed"! when he gets back theres gna be so kicking going on "YOU LEFT ME!!!"
So very glad Rick was there to bring this to a successful conclusion. Glad the Paint was cooperative. I don't know what happened to the horses loose in London. Hope they're ok.
No all heroes wear capes. Some wear short shorts and crocks. (🥃😏 Just teasing.) Nicely done dude. Really cool you re-ran into Scooby's owner and found out he's a fellow gum guy. I don't believe in coincidence.
Thank you Rick for your dedication to those beautiful animals. Most would have just honked their horns an drove on by (at least in Massachusetts). You said something while walking the paint back home. You said "Easy, easy", which reminded me of a quote that my cousin taught me ( who taught me your way of thinking)..." One easy is worth a thousand whoas." Thank you again for helping prevent what could have been a tragic situation!! ❤❤❤
I heard shoes on the paint right away. They all were super cute, nice little herd. They were all plenty fleshy and nice looking. Great Video Rick 🍎Fun!
Wow Rick you definitely had some neighborhood excitement! Your truck cam did a beautiful job. Such a beautiful country side and that Grey baby is adorable ❤. Well done.
Good job Rick. I’m glad you and the other guy were able to help these horses. Horses on the highway is a very bad thing. You might wanna keep some horse treats in your truck too :-)
Now, that's what neighbors do. Well done! More than once my family had a horse saved by a watchful neighbor, when we were away. Town or country, it's all about relationships. We need more of this.
awesome manoeuvring and thinking like a true horseman, rick! there’s no doubt you saved them from serious harm and prevented chaos! really impressive to watch
Great job. I came across a loose horse once and my sister and one cousin went to the fence where it was down to keep the rest in. And myself and the other cousin went to the horse and I used my moms belt to loop on his neck and I led him back and we kind of fixed the fence. It was like 13 and thought it was so cool 😂I was so proud
I started watching this and said "what would I do?". Everything you did is exactly what I would have done. Rick, you have taught me well! Watching your videos are always educational and have taught me how to be a better horseman.
It’s nice that you made a good educational video but weren’t so worried about getting every second of it on video. Your goal was to help the horses and you did that. So many RUclipsrs would’ve been out there, screwing it up because they were too busy trying to get it all on video. We appreciate Your dedication to the horses.
@@louisegogel7973 You missed the Crazy Horse Story where FED-X left the gate open.... Title is " Crazy Breeder Horse Women Story FedEx Left The Gate Open - Loose Horses On The Highway "
@@johnm840 You’re right, I hadn’t seen that one, but I went looking for it, found it, watched it, and laughed so much at Rick’s intensely funny imitation of that woman’s complaint, lol, and I too would have been wanting her to calm down and just focus on the issue at hand. That was ten years ago by the way! Thank you so much for mentioning that video!
You don't need me to tell you this but that is impressive strategic driving. Strategic cop driving instinct kicked in thanks for sharing, this is invaluable
I’m moving from little Iraq (Dearborn Michigan) to country where there are horses in the next couple weeks. Something I’ve been working for the last 20 some years. I was raised with horses at my grandparents. My property isn’t big enough for horses but they will be around, that’s for sure. Ive been a sub to your two channels for years. This one is a great tip. Thanks Rick!
Hi, Rick. First time on your channel. Lester Morrow said to check out your channel. Good job with corralling the horses! That was fun! Love that you teach us as you go.
Wow Rick! You are such a hero and to be able to capture as much as you did on video on top of it is remarkably talented! What a great teaching moment where most people would not only not know what to do, but would never go so far as to capture all of this on video and put it together for us to continue to learn from you. I'm sure I speak from the owner of those 5 beauties and many of us here ... THANK YOU for your amazing work always!
Rick, thank you for “caring” and getting the horses off the dangerous roadways and back to their home. A lot of ppl would have just passed by them and went on their way thinking “not my problem.” This could have been a very tragic situation for the horses and ppl. We all need a neighbor like you! ❤
BEST VIDEO EVER! You are the pied piper of horses. Beautiful horses. 🐎 The horse world is better because of you. I feel like going in your area and opening gates, so we can see more of these videos. (Just kidding). Thank you for saving them and possibly motorists.
Maybe the owners will allow you to work / play with them.. they are all just BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS .. IN YOUR VOICE ...I DETECTED ,you would really LOVE to have the gray one..😊
Great video, and great opportunity to see the lessons you teach us in action. I guess it is too late to for you to make a video of brushing Mokie's winter coat out, huh. I always like those brushing videos of Mokie and the horses.
Rick, quick story. At the moment I ride horse at a local place here in the Netherlands. Since they only ride with a bit, I was able to convince them to ride some horses without a bit. I have learned alot from you and like minded people. At the place where I ride, they all think I have some hidden talent how I communicate with horses. So they asked me if I can ride this horse that is very skittish and nobody really rides him and stands alot in the tables (wich I am totally against). It is an Andalusian gelding that has a past wich is not too positive. So I said yes. But the catch was, it needed to be with a bit. Against my feelings about the bit I said yes, since a lack of movement is also horrible. Got up, got to ride a little, horse spooked, I fell off, horse freaked out cause of the stirrups banging against him. Managed to calm him a little. Got rid of the saddle and bridle, took a big breath and just walked. The horse followed. Managed to run with him quiet a while. I was able to project some skills I learned from you and some others. Now, they asked me to work with horses at liberty since it went well with the Andalusian. Idk why I am telling this. I will never say yes to riding with a bit again. But at the same time, managed to show them some ground work wich is understandable for the horse. Not experienced with horses at all, but following your perspective on horsemanship gives me a major head start. Really making some changes at the place where I ride, thanks to you!
Nice to see you in action 😊. Thanks for doing the right thing with your knowledge and experience. I always learn something from you every time I watch you.
Excellent tutorial Rick. Made me happy to realize how much I have learned from you over the years because that was exactly how I approach any horses that I don't have any prior experience with. I do the same slow approach, no direct eye contact, closing distance, relieving pressure when necessary, approach from the side, slowly work my rope over the head to form a neck rope, then transition to a halter. The tricky part is getting to the other side for the halter. I usually do chest scratches to be able to maneuver around the horse. All horses seem to enjoy the chest scratches so it is an excellent distraction to change their focus while I am repositioning. I know it doesn't always work this way because at each point there can be something that doesn't go as planned. But it was a good lesson in how to properly catch horses, which is something I practice in one of our 5 acre pastures at our rescue facility.
@@louisegogel7973 You're welcome. About 80% of everything I know about horses has come from watching all of Rick's videos, except for the final Mr. T video which I haven't watched yet. [I will probably give in on a day that I need a good cry.]
@@VeganHorseman Another two people you might like to check out for horse knowledge that is on a par with his expertise are Steven Young Horsemanship, a Welsh man who helps people out with their horse issues, and Klaus F Hempfling, who embodies horse language in his being so much that horses, even the stallions around mares in heat, understand and allow themselves to be guided by him. All three, Rick, Steve, and Klaus, have been my most respected sources of learning for understanding horses and their interactions with people.
I have had neighbors horses and mules and yes some cattle come up my driveway, thankfully I have the driveway gates locked at all times so they could not get to the barn as I have horses also.. My daughter led the lead ones on foot and I followed in the truck at a distance to keep vehicles behind.. We live in the mountains, not a lot of traffic however people fly up and down this road.. Great catch..
I caught and saved a paint horse that got loose on the road one time. Found out his name was Happy, and he was over 30 yrs old. Darn horse acted like a 4 yr old!
Good job, Rick, explaining how to stay calm and herd behavior. I keep a halter/lead rope in my truck now cause of your channel!. One more way to be prepared for the unexpected! Oh, and a bucket of treats! lol
The boys need a cattle brush. I've so missed your horsey videos and your projects around the property. How about a Halloween prank on Buddy and Ransom.....please.

Paint is thinking "Dammit I finally made my break for it and I run into the horse whisperer." Nice job.
Just wanted to send Mr T condolences on his anniversary. He was the best good boy.
Still miss you Tanner 😢
If I didn't know better I would say that Mr. T probably pulled some strings & arranged all of this to keep Rick's mind off the anniversary.
I miss Mr. T too

All three, Rick, Steve, and Klaus, have been my most respected sources of learning for understanding horses and their interactions with people.
Scooby's owner!!
I have had neighbors horses and mules and yes some cattle come up my driveway, thankfully I have the driveway gates locked at all times so they could not get to the barn as I have horses also.. My daughter led the lead ones on foot and I followed in the truck at a distance to keep vehicles behind.. We live in the mountains, not a lot of traffic however people fly up and down this road.. Great catch..
Good Samaritan, Rick!! You probably saved them before a tragedy!!!
Looks like a storm brewing. Hope your boys ars good!! Good video!
He's gorgeous!
They were lucky they got you around!
This is some of my most favorite videos of yours. Really shows your skills.
Good on ya Uncle Rick
Glad you enjoyed it
I caught and saved a paint horse that got loose on the road one time. Found out his name was Happy, and he was over 30 yrs old. Darn horse acted like a 4 yr old!
Good job, Rick, explaining how to stay calm and herd behavior. I keep a halter/lead rope in my truck now cause of your channel!. One more way to be prepared for the unexpected! Oh, and a bucket of treats! lol
Rick, we were just talking about this subject on this morning's live. Thank you for taking the time to help these horses. ❤
{Music} Here he comes to save the day mighty Rick is on his way.
Only us oldies will know the tune. Love ya Rick.🇨🇦
Heard that song in the beginning, that was "One of Them Girls" by Lee Brice. Awesome song! 😂
Good video, too!
Happy nite Rick, YOU GO!!!! AWESOME 👩🌾✌️🇨🇱
The boys need a cattle brush. I've so missed your horsey videos and your projects around the property. How about a Halloween prank on Buddy and Ransom.....please.
