Hello from Texas! So many things i love about this, the scenes, the story, the land and structures, cows, horses, trucks & coffee! LOL. the geyser maybe not so much ugh! bad brains :( anyway, so excited to have found your channel, can't wait to see more!
Thanks for watching!
Sum kids r gifted n dnt realize it
U
That's where the phrase, "Having a Mare!" comes from.
Uu se se BU
You, sir, have a gentle heart. I am most impressed with your attitude and spirit toward horses.
18 Oaks, Thanks for watching and the kind remarks! Richard
That opening story about that mare...I've never scene a GMC truck with a Ford steering wheel. That's crazy lol
So in that scene you saw with the Cheford, are you sure it wasn't a seahorse? I've seen movie scenes that jump around that way, too. Maybe it was a scene of a sawhorse that turned out to just be a seesaw the color of seaweed. I really do not like the English language, cuz u jus don no watt words is meaning az ya sayum. An I mean it.
I love this! Great show. I will be watching.
Exactly
Damn I noticed and said the same thing lol
had. to have been 2 different trucks, had ford door, ac vents and steering wheel unless it just horribly rebuilt
Oh my goodness!!! I know where this is!!! I recognize those longhorns and those black Angus on that big green pasture and those beautiful roans and all those round bales. I'm from Walterboro. I pass through often and have stopped many times to take pictures. No professional pictures, just iPhone. Hope you don't mind. It's just so beautiful and I love horses and I love cows. Wow, I'm so thankful I found yall's channel. Proud of yall and your place. It's an honor to have finally met you. Take care!!!
I'm just going to say it- there's a lot i don't like about this video (training method, age of horse being broken, etc.). However, there's also several things I like about this. Though I don't personally prefer your training method, I recognize that you are consistent in it. And to me, it's much better that you have a method and be consistent in that method than that you train inconsistently in my method or anyone else's. So kudos for that bit. Also, I noted that, unlike many 'cowboys,' you ride mostly in a snaffle bit, which to me is a sign of a real cowboy. Because the true spirit of the cowboy does not need spurs with big rowels, curb bits with long shanks, or whips that cut and bleed. The people who "can't" ride without those aren't truly equestrians at all. I've ridden in them myself occasionally, but I always resort back to bridleless or bitless riding, or a snaffle. And lastly, though, again, I do not like the breaking, you at least seem to ride quite gently afterward and I can say honestly that I admire that. Have a great day!
What was "breaking" about this? I really do not know.
Can always find the experts in the comments 😂
Great video! The cowboy way is all I knew for a long time, but I'm expanding now. :) Keep up the great work!
Great looking place and good looking little filly you’re a lucky guy doing what you do God bless from Canada stay safe
So happy to find you on here. I was born and raised in South Carolina around quarter horses,paints and appaloosas. My dream was always to work for a farm like yours.. I had a pretty good run in my day with some nice horses. I ended up losing all my horses and my home several years ago. We lived in Kentucky for 30 years and I was able to have a small set up and I miss it so badly now I just feel empty.. I can tell I'm going to enjoy your series and I can't wait to watch it all. I've always loved working cow Horses and maybe someday, if my dream ever comes true...I'll have another chance or be able to visit a farm like you!! God bless!
Thanks for watching, Mary. We’re glad you enjoy it. Richard
I know you understand that feeling. And thank you for your kind words. Maybe someday, someway, we can find a way. It's a special kind of grief that only us horse people can understand! God bless you!!!❤️❤️❤️
Smooth transitions are a blessing Richard. Fantastic channel Low Country Cowboys. Sending you some love from my Ranch here in California to yours.
George, Thank you for the kind words. Richard
Hello from Australia, wonderful video, well done, what an awesome lifestyle..
Definitive, delightful. 'Stay loose', wowderful story telling,direction, dialog and cool cowboy composure. G'day from New Zealand.
Thanks for watching and sending us such kind words!
We trained and showed cutting horses, there is nothing like it. Loved it
Greetings from North Georgia...Great video y`all. I'm re learning about the ranch life haven't been around it in over 30 years but sure do miss it.
Hello Butter Bean, Thanks for watching. What part of N. GA are you in? Richard
i`m North east near Lavonia Ga right off I-85. I used to work down in Charleston area miss the fresh sea food!!
@@butterbean4195 I know right where you are. That's pretty country. We used to go canoeing down the Broad river there at King Hall Mill in Bowman. Know where that is? Thanks a ton for watching! Richard
Super impressed w this ! I was looking for starting a barrel horse prospect BEFORE it gets to the Barrel Trainer... There was NOTHING that ANYONE should be offended by.. very Professional & Quiet!! Nice Horses.. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Loved this first episode! Fantastic job everyone from start to finish!
Thanks Chris, We are Glad you enjoyed it! Richard
Looks like a beautiful place to have a ranch. Very nice!
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Fabulous! I bought a Clydesdale colt. Because of his gentle nature and beautiful temperament he did absolutely nothing in every sense of the word! He stood whist we caught him in the field, stood whilst we saddled him up and stood whilst we got on and walked and trotted him. He has never bucked in his life. A true gentle soul!
I have live and loved the life.
Hello from Texas.
I've grown up in SC all my life and riding horses in the low country since I was 5 and there is no better place to be in the world
The good life!
Great video
Wish you were closer! I have a bucker I need help with
Hey from Ky. Love this video! U all r great!
'I don't care how many young horses you've been on, that first ride is going to be tense'------------Well I have news for you. First, I would never ride a horse until it has fully grown (4-5 years old).
Second, when the horse has gained confidence from the appropriate ground work basics and much more, the first ride goes as smooth as can be. Been there and done that many times.
@@googlesucks6140 You have a lot to learn about horses and a whole lot to unlearn.
@@googlesucks6140 You know what is said about wordy resumes......................
@@googlesucks6140 It is all about you, not the horse.
Good minded cowboys and horses start with patience and a little work 😇
Southeast Texas Enjoyed every minute, not over bearing at all,
Slow, sure, honest.
It's good to see this.
Look forward to the next one.
Nice video awesome job with the filly real smooth. Thanks guys
Jason French, thanks for the kind words and for watching LCC!! Richard
Coming all the way from N.M I'm a low country native cowboy who understands what a horse wants like my grandpa told me you gotta treat a women like a women is suppose to be treated. Nice gentle and slow. Any help needed this cowboy is ready to saddle up. Only chasing what God lead my dream to be..
Excellent quality video narration and attention to detail.
Thanks for watching and the kind words!
love the ranch!
good video
Still love going back and watching these older videos! Keep it up guys!
Enjoy your videos hope you start back up
Hello from Indonesia dude. I love your video. I'm looking for episode two but couldn't find it. can only find episode 3
Hi billy m. Just go to our channel. All the episodes are there. Thanks for watching, Richard
Denali truck with ford dash 🕺🏾
Ya wtf is that? I kept doing a rewind.. like did they change the truck and I wasn't paying attention?
When you said "stay loose" I instantly thought bronc ballet lol
THANK YOU Im not the only one XD
I love this stuff. It's in my blood. Dad thought he knew how to get the horse out of me when he put some manure in an empty jar and gave it to me for my birthday. Only problem was I loved it. I'd open it and smell it. What I didn't know at the time was he was scared to death of horses..
Nothing quite like horse smell. ;)
When I saw you cutting her off in that alley and saw that board fence it took me back to a day when I was going to brand yearling colts and my very best double bredvEasy Jet colt I bred and raised ran down that fence line and another colt push him into that fence and that 2x6 board broke and stuck in his shoulder like a solinter.Damaged the muscle and ended up putting him down 6 months later when muscles started deteriorating.
Ouch. Things happen.
That was a very nice way to start a horse! A lot of times you see people beating the hell out of them and calling it training, but there is very little I would do differently in this method!
Thanks for the kind remarks, Brooke. More to come!
The methods he is using are short cuts that first brought about by the original cowboys. If you are around theses methods enough you relize that they are just as bad as beating a horse.
@@hadesdaughter381 you must be a Raleigh and link fruit loop. This was done perfectly and avoids any kind of fear of a rider on that fillys back, she's adjusting and getting over tucked away fears she would have in the future that would cause her to blow up on someone and hurt them, she got over it and realized she ain't gonna be beaten and killed, stop being a softy and babying these unpredictable flighty animals. They need to know that everything is ok and they need to get over it and also realize that we arnt going to allow them to walk all over us, the second you start that softy bs with a filly like this or worse , you'll deeply regret it cause no horse is the same
@@sandratownsend3643 Haha Reiligh Link fruit loop. Nope I don't watch her. I have no problem putting a bit in a horses mouth and showing them who who. I personally think his horses need more ground work. Your horse can only be as good as their foundation.
There is always something happening like that on a ranch.Its never just a simple day.Its sure not boring.
Thanks for watching, Trey. That's why we love this life! Richard
@@LowCountryCowboys Exactly.I grew up on a registered Brangus cattle and AQHA Running Bred Horses.All my cow and rope horses were race horses 1st.As was my 2 kids now grow.We had over 100 head at one time.
I wouldn't change a thing.My kids grew up knowing how to Halter break and ride colts.Im 62 now.My Dad is 94 and we are still doing it.
Real good video! Keep them coming.
DarkNotez, Thanks for watching!
@@LowCountryCowboys how can I get into a position like Hunter ? as an assistant trainer. i really want to be involved with the training process for horses.
@@darknotez7170 without knowing your history or level of experience it would be hard for me to make recommendations on employment, but a good place to start would be to offer your services (whatever they may be) to a local trainer.
I got my start by cleaning stalls at a local boarding barn, and after all my chores were done I got to ride a little and it just grew from there. Hope this helps. Richard
Great video and the kid did great. Good ride. Just a few things I noticed, when mounting crank her head around to your side when mounting the first few times. Cause if she decides to bolt when you've got her head out like that, you'll be sorry and hurtin. Also just one thing I have found over the years with colts is the first I'd say 3 to 4 times mounting, I use a mounting block. It cuts down on the time your swing leg has from ground to over their back. You just don't know if they'll bolt, etc so by cutting the time down you'll save yourself half the time it would take to swing up should they go south.
Otherwise, again, great job.
rodeoswag, Thanks for the input and for watching. Seems like you've been around some. Glad to have you! Richard
I hobble all of my horses but don’t understand having hobbles on for the first saddling. That is a nice and quiet filly but it Seems like if one decided to jump and buck with hobbles on it could certainly cause quite a wreck. Love the video, nicely done.
that horse was pretty much all done buck after hobbling him i like it.... i might have hobbled him with the saddle on but i might have broken a saddle
I probably wouldn't hobble a more fractious minded horse, but this filly was a good candidate. She didn't want to leave my side but she didn't want to stand to be saddled either. The hobbles occupied her mind just long enough to give Hunter the chance to show her that the saddle wasn't going to hurt her. She is currently one of the nicest, most willing young horses I've ever had the pleasure to work with. She has a bright future. Look for more of her in future episodes. Thanks for watching!
Bryan Bondurant so true! I’m one of the few in my area that hobbles horses. They all look at me like I’m crazy until I explain the reasons.
Here's the thing tho. Hobbling horses is a short cut. A way to force them to be compliant. I don't think it is fair. It would be like some one tieing your left arm to your right foot and telling you to run. You can saddle a horse with out a hobble just fine. I could probably get a colt saddled in under a half and hour and not do half the things in the video.
@@googlesucks6140 I am foolish because I do not wish to use a hobble? I been training horses since I was 8. I do not think that the "cowboy way" is proper and practical in todays world.
Beautiful horses!!!
Thanks
Great to see you And the family are well Richard!
Hi Justin, great to hear from you. Hope you and your family are well. Richard
This is a different era. You don't 'break' a horse. That is the ol' cowboy way using pain, fear, and intimidation. You 'start' a horse.
PC bullshit has no place anywhere
Anyone know who plays the song at the end of the video?? Great video btw, composed very well. Gorgeous philly as well. 🇺🇸
Hi Josh, I'll find out and get back to you.
Awesome!! Thank you!
@@joshadams2377 and thanks for watching!
Great job folks! Good sound, good editing, comfortable on camera, good camera work, and great subject matter. Thumbs up and a Sub from a cowboy in Montana. :-)
Thanks pard!
You are good at taming horses
@@tedgutierrez7845 Thanks for watching. Richard
Nothing like breeding in some good "HORSE CENTS " LOL. HORSE SEES HORSE RIDDEN, NO PAIN, ITS ALL GAIN, AND EVERYBODY CAN BE HAPPY. ITS JUST THAT PLAIN.
Friends with a family that raises/ breeds long horned Herfords.
hummm , looks like the filly has my Creedmore Plantation (est. 1810) brand ....... same, same..... how did that happen lol
Would you allow me to drop in if I'm in the area? From west coast, so I may not ever make it out.
I love that round pen. Now that I'm middle aged I like to have my sons do the first ride while I am riding a more broke horse in the round pen with them, it works pretty good.
Thanks for the comment. I'd have to agree with letting the youngsters climb on the colts first time around, although I like to think I can still get it done! LOL!
Nice work on her. Hunter did real rod too.
This is my first video of yours I watched, liked it. Think I'm gunna subzcri.
Great video! A tip of the hat to Hunter and I think it’s really neat that Dave Stamey is known all the way in South Carolina. Beautiful country too!
nmelkhunter1 thanks for the comment. Hunter's a good kid... and now he knows about Dave Stamey ;) Richard
I dedicate that first ride to familiarizing the horse with me getting on and getting off. I don’t care what people say that’s how I break my horses on the first day
Bro, I like to think I broke a bunch of colts in my day, several hundred of them I guess and I also like to think I know a hand when I see one... And Brother YOU are a Hand.... That was all just fine in my book... My uncle (who was a Hand!) once said to a gal who asked the difference between Breaking and Training a colt... he said "Well, training takes a lot longer and it cost a lot more..." ahhaha Keep up the good work.. fun stuff right there...
Thanks Gerry! Richard
This is probably a very silly question, but do you guys ever take in people and teach them how to do this? It would really be a dream come true.
Christina M. You can go to our ranch website www.creekplantation.com. We will post job and internship opportunities there when they become available. Thanks for watching!!
Low Country Cowboys Thank you so much for getting back to me! I really appreciate you and will check out your website. :)
WOW, GREAT ACTION! I’m so happy I found this channel
Keep doing what you do, I’ll be watching and enjoying!
You are doin things right! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Many thanks, Kansas Cowboy! Richard
dream life right their for me need to move to usa for sure
AWESOME 👍👍👍👍
It's hard to keep them toes turned in when ya keep your spurs on.
Nice job, do you take outside horses to start?
We do take on some outside horses. what do you have?

Hi from Australia that’s a very pretty filly with what looks like a great personality
I don’t know anything when it comes to “cowboy “ stuff i ride English ( dressage amd hacking) have stared a few younger ones and they are going well,can I ask why you use hobbles? Are they used frequently in breaking? I’m not criticising just interested thanks
Hi Lizzy Bizzy, hobbles are a tool that we can use to occupy a horses mind and to get them to thinking. Molly (filly in the episode) didn't want to stand still to be saddled and I would've had to really get after her to make her move around enough to really get her to want to stand. I used the hobbles like a puzzle, so that when she figured out how to stand still, she unlocked the hobbles.
I don't use hobbles on every colt, but Molly was a great candidate because of her quiet, curious disposition. There are also other benefits of using hobbles. One is to make sure that a horse knows to stand still if they ever find themselves tangled in wire. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! Richard
Low Country Cowboys ok thank you that makes sense it awesome what you guys do
Thank you for the reply
What’s the song in the end?
Great video, it is very well put together.
Many thanks.
Just asking, I don't know enough about horses to criticize or discuss with someone: what do you think about Monty Robert's method?
Man, i was enjoying the video, thinking this might be a good channel to subscribe to, and then i heard you say you like Dave Stamey and i hit the sub button quicker than a cowboy on the draw. Im from Stameys homeground, the deserts and moutains of Northeast California. Hope to see more good stuff from y'all in the future.
Hi Tyler, Thanks for watching. More to come in January. Richard
Awesome Richard, your at home with all them horses. Nice intro ,always liked how well you work with the horses ,patient but firm .. nice. Keep up the good work, soon you will be ready to Rangel a shark with me in the Bahamas.Captin Lv 🤠
Thanks Cap'n L!!
Nice im from conway sc
Hi Erwin , Glad to hear from you. Thanks for watching.
I’m frightful of horses good sir. One of my cousins got kicked in the head from some random pinto but survived thank goodness.But for some reason I still want to learn how to ride
do it!! horses are super sweet animals if theyre trained right. dont be stupid around them and treat them with love and respect and you'll have a great run with them
Awesome

Shouldn't the title say How To Break A Filly since she isn't a Colt?
Now I gotta listen to the bronc ballet
Bronc ballet blues by Dave Stamey.
Not meaning to complain but...... how did you put a Ford interior in that Gmc your driving 😂🤣
Look.............That is called breaking a horse. I want a horse that views me as a fair confident and trusted leader. I start horses. The slow way is the fast way with horses.
Hi Gerry. Thanks for watching.
Richard
I totally agree with you!
Thank you. What is happening is short cuts.
@@hadesdaughter381 ............and it short changes the horse. If one is to have good horsemanship, one needs to take the time it takes to do what is in the best interests of the horse.
I spent years working with one horse and I will tell you. They are better then any of my Dad's horses. He uses the old cowboy methods and it is just not right anymore.
I have rode a few Creek horses back in the late 90s for Mr Billy. I always thought that the power plant had to do something with their wits! Rode a stud by the name of Splash of Gin. He went to 4 6s when his daddy past.
Hi John, great to hear from you. We have Splash. He's still kicking around and we have plans to turn him out with 8 Gist bred mares in the spring. Richard
@@LowCountryCowboys Great to hear that. He always loved the ladies when he went to town! Is Little Miss Siren still around?
@@johnhemphill2495 I think she has passed away. We have a grand daughter of hers though, by another son of Tanquery named Wagon Stake.
What a beauty nature, horse, and attractive human.
nice video.. I'll be sure to watch more..
Many thanks. We'll try to keep them coming. Richard
Kid should b thankfully for being on tht ranch
I have not laughed that hard as I did listen to your story about the clients horse leaving her mark on ur barn before she left🤣🤣🤣 i am laughing with you bud that’s for sure I’ve been there done that ol son’ seems like those ones u can’t wait to send home, always seem to leave u with a lil something to remember her crazy a@$ !!!! You do a good job, my hats off to ya boys👍👍
Thanks Burt. Glad to have you watching. Richard
Hes like the bob ross of horses
Have a question my boss gave me a horse that he had for six or seven years he kept her in a pastor with cows and the cows when it let her eat so now he gave her to me and they're still in that pasture I'm trying to get her to let me put a halter on her she won't run she would like turn around and walk away from me any advice
I'd set up some panels and trap her in so you can get your hands on her. good luck!
“Keep your mind in the middle”
So bad ass
Good man cowboy.
Definitely can tell that this wasn’t the filly’s first time being handled. :) For yall that have never used SOFT and I repeat SOFT hobbles, never have started a rank colt Lol. I start mine slow and easy with natural horsemanship but even then sometimes you gotta use your tools to prevent them loosing their cool and hurting themselves or you. :) even Clinton Anderson and Buck use their tools :)
Do not tie the legs of the horse it will learn the horse helplesness not trust. Saddle on and walk a little. Saddle of and do that a few days before putting a rider on. Lounging and leading exercisers first with a saddle then with a rider. And use a helmet when riding a young horse.
Good training horses Texas cowboy.
*southern horspitality* ❤
Can I ask u a sincere question how much will I have to pay to come ride with y’all I live in sc I don’t really get a lot of chances to ride and I live riding but I don’t have people that Do please respond to me with info
Hi Carlos. Unfortunately, we can’t offer riding lessons at this time. Our ranch insurance won’t allow it. I hope you understand. I’ll bet there’s a stable near you that could help, though. In the meantime, check out www.B1 horsemanship.com for tone of instructional videos on riding and roping. Thanks and take care. Richard
You guys familiar with the Pucketts? Old style cowboy at it's best!
You can find all that in Florida...and better hands,too...
This farm is like my grandfathers

Melia melia is watching.. Bahamas babyyyyy
Dicienzo! Missing the Bahamas already!
I assume this is at the Creek?
We are.
@@LowCountryCowboys Back last century when Tommy Doherty (sp?) was hauling Billy's son to the shows , I sure enjoyed hanging out with them. No matter how many irons Billy had in the fire he always had time to stop and talk horses with my Dad.
