He may only have 60 or 70 rides on him but "how" you rode him for those rides has already put a lot of quality in him. He is looking really good. I have seen horses with 90 rides on them that didn't look that good. Especially that loped circle toward the end of the video where you had him on super light contact (it looked like), yet he was still in frame/collection. It looked like you might have been able to go full loose rein and he would still have held himself in frame at the lope. He side passed to that gate very nicely as well. Especially since he is only 3 years old.
I have to say when I clicked on this video I expected to see more rodeo "cowboy" horse abuse. But here you were, using a mild bit, without any flashy spurs, giving the horse clear directions and waiting for his response. Great work! He's a lucky one.
That horse will absolutely move into curb bits as his education progress’s to go into one hand, that’s not abuse if you think it is then god help us all
I totally agree with your statement that you don’t create a good horse out of nothing. Each horse already has a goodness in him. A good horseman knows how to pull that out of him. Lots of patience and training.
Love watching videos like this…from American western riders…while sitting here in Germany. Seriously tho, I love your riding style it’s so harmonic. Pretty horse as well.
I have 2 Hancock horses, they are awesome horses, they really come on as a 5 yr old, smart, tough and kind. They like to have a job, as any horse does.
Cowboys are the current evolution of the Spanish military troop called Dragon de Cuera, they used to patrol the border of the Spanish territories in North America from de XVI to the XVIII century, Chilenan and Argentinian Gauchos and Mexican vaqueros are also part of it.
First time seeing one of your videos. Beautiful camera work! Got a really unique perspective on everything you did while riding; most videos shoot from top-down on the arena, sometimes it's hard to catch all the small cues, especially during cantering. Camera man had to be dizzy!! Applaud to you both, best of luck with that go-getter colt!
Just a good animal for a damned good man. He looks for the best in the horse and apparently he found more than he thought he would. I ride but I have never owned a horse but I would look for something like this.
My Friend Hello Tony here That's a nice did i say nice horse You can tell he is young and not finished no one in this comments should give nothing but praise keep on doing what ever you are doing thx. Thx. Tony
Thanks for this video! Trained some good huntin dogs and just getting into horses. It’s interesting to watch people train horses and to see the differences and parallels in the animals and how to handle them.
You have a great relationship with horses ! Nice to see! I have a BlueRoan Hancock ! He's very cowey! He's got a gorgeous temperament He's not registered but I love him anyways ❤
Just found your channel subbed ❤I miss my ranch and my horses , so this is nice to see you sharing your life on the ranch with us all , brings back so many memories !!you are a very patient kind cowboy to your horses……
He's a really pretty colt! I have an American Curly x Waler x TBred mare, she cost me $800 and has been a lot of work, but she's coming real good now! She always has had a "go button" (Thoroughbred Genetics) and used to be really spooky to boot, with a lot of desensitization and riding, she's not as spooky as she was and after walking her two miles every single workday for a whole month, she's fine to walk now. She still loves to trot, still has that "go button" but now I'm not fighting her when all I want to do is walk! We've been doing walking and trotting for about 5 or 6 weeks now (weather interfered with some scheduled training days) and so in a few days, I'm going to walk her a mile, trot two miles, then ask for a canter and just see what she does... Yep, I know what she'll do. She's been telling me she wants to go but has been respectful enough to stay in a trot anyway. That's what I'm looking for and I can just sense it, she's so ready, and so am I!
My thoughts are: he needs a little more engagement when striking-off at the lope. When this happens for you, it should be accompanied with softness that will change his entire perspective on forward movement. `Really nice job getting him to ths point in his training..
This Young Horse has a lot of potential and the old saying goes registered papers and bloodlines are wonderful but you don't ride papers . But a good horse with some decent ability can be developed and built up with some miles if it has a proper attitude and willingness to work and listen.
@Stonefieldranch Actually, my horse was formerly a rodeo horse. I don't know if it was roping or wrangling. It tends to ride off as soon as I mount her and wants to canter or gallup all the time. I have 2 daughters and would like for them to be able to ride it. How can I get the horse to go slow?
Happy to help! A few follow-up questions: 1. How old is your horse? 2. Mare or Gelding? 3. What kind of rig setup are you using? (Ie. What kind of bit, reins, saddle pad, cinch, saddle)? And do you know what kind of setup the previous owner was running? 4. What is his diet like right now? Alfalfa or grass? Are you graining him? Might be easier If you want to send pictures/video send to: Stonefieldranchproductions@gmail.com
On days like tht stretch out his chest he’s stiffed legged, grab a hoof till he stop pulling away, then bend the leg back grab the knee & hoof shake it back n forth Both sides…….
He seems to do better at faster gaits with holding himself upright, I've heard that's common with younger horses. Do you think he's breaking at the poll a little when you collect him due to him being younger and lacking in proper strength to carry himself collected yet?
So I'm somewhat experienced with horses I can get a horse where I need it and I've never had any issues getting horse to do what I need it to but I've recently been trying to train my girlfriends horse and every little thing is a struggle he has no go in him whatsoever, got any tips? He's had nothing but ground work for 9 years before that I believe he was rode a little but not enough to count
Tail is either bagged or up high in a top knot so he doesn’t step on it while backing. Not taped. Yeah they have names. This one just doesn’t have one yet so I call him Dunny. Appropriate in most country’s except Australia.🇦🇺
@@Stonefieldranch thought so! Picked up the midnight grimshaw myself! Glad to see more people wearing their brand. Awesome Channel by the way. Love what you’re doing here.
Mostly self taught but I definitely watch others and try to learn from them. I ride and train every day and usually start a few colts every year. Thanks for tuning into the channel!
If you want a horse to last, maybe give them another year or so before you ride them hard like ranch boys do. They will last longer if their knees can close and spine develope before then.
He actually looks like he's on a fairly loose rein, green horses tend to break at the poll because they lack the strength for proper collection I believe.
Have you ridden any horses that run off?! Oh yea i dont have to ask that - obviously not. A bit is only as aggressive as the riders hands but its there if/when he needs it. That horse is quite comfotable with that bit - again..... obviously. Tell me justaverage6347 - have you so much as halter broke a baby? If so Ouch that halter is unnecessary! Unless you arent using it cruelly. Get it?
@@valrenanelson5507 actually, yes I have halter broke a baby. This horse needs more ground work! A twisted bit is waaay to harsh for any horses mouth. Have a nice day.
I respect the opinion, but disagree. Groundwork is important but only takes you so far. This horse is a perfect gentleman at a walk and trot but panicking every time I pushed him into a lope and went into a runaway. He’s in a twisted wire because he tried running himself through a barbed wire fence when he had a regular O-Ring Snaffle. Temporary discomfort is always a better alternative than permanent injury. Every morning I run a mile in a 20 pound vest and soak in 36 degree water for 5-7 minutes. It’s uncomfortable, but I’m better for it. Reaching our potential lies on the other side of discomfort. Undisciplined horses and people never reach their potential.
I understand there are different schools of thought here and a lot of people don't like you to look down but a horses ears and head are like a dash display in a race car. They tell me a lot about how things are running and how tuned in we are in addition to how the ride feels. On the race track (arena) practicing laps, I pay pretty close attention to these.
3yrs old? A 16 stone man thumping on his back at 3yrs old? That kind of treatment leads to broken down 7-8yr olds. The horse (any horse) tries bc he has no alternative
I wonder 7:137:13 at 70 rides can you drag calves to the fire on the horse. Does it neck rein yet for you don't have to ride it with 2 hands and actually get something done on the horse. Hancocks may have had a time and place but today there's not near enough cowboys or miles for them. 4500 for that horse was a steal for whoever sold that.horse.to you lol. No offense of course lol
Every horse has their place, Brother. Just like people, everyone can make a contribution and we increase their likelihood of success with education. Takes some of them longer than others and sometimes the ones that take a little longer become the best ones. Pushing a horse to neck rein and rope as fast as possible isn’t my first goal. I want him correct. That’s why I ride colts in snaffle bits for the first two years. He’ll learn to neck rein when he’s ready. I’m focused on picking up shoulders, collection, directing the feet, and building their confidence. Others may have different goals. Also, it’s winter. We don’t brand calves in the winter. He’ll sort some this winter and brand this spring.
Awesome channel! my dream since I was a little girl was riding horses :) I was never able to do that, but I get happiness from watching other people do
Never too late to start riding. Don’t let your dream slip by you, for life is too short. Go to a good instructor in your area and start taking lessons in the arena on a well trained horse to gain your confidence and your independent seat. It will do wonders for your soul.
You don’t have true horsemanship without the original cowboy. You have bad and abusive trainers in ALL facets of the horse world. So don’t just point out the cowboy because they are probably the closest you can get to a horse in human form.
He may only have 60 or 70 rides on him but "how" you rode him for those rides has already put a lot of quality in him. He is looking really good. I have seen horses with 90 rides on them that didn't look that good.

Thanks @AndyTheCornbread always appreciate your thoughts on the channel.
Hello what do you guys mean by rides?
@@johnnygutierrez3719 A training session in which the horse was ridden, it is kind of subjective but for me it means a ride of an hour or more.
I have to say when I clicked on this video I expected to see more rodeo "cowboy" horse abuse. But here you were, using a mild bit, without any flashy spurs, giving the horse clear directions and waiting for his response. Great work! He's a lucky one.
Do you know anything about horse training
@@BuckinroperEveryone on YT does, if you catch my drift.
Real rodeo cowboys do not abuse their horses. They’re just as much horseman as ranchers are. Educate yourself.
@lavarox5339 I agree. A lot of rodeo guys that train their own horses are better hands and trainers than ranch cowboys.
That horse will absolutely move into curb bits as his education progress’s to go into one hand, that’s not abuse if you think it is then god help us all
I totally agree with your statement that you don’t create a good horse out of nothing. Each horse already has a goodness in him. A good horseman knows how to pull that out of him. Lots of patience and training.

I am so impressed!! Hes relaxed but still responsive. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
I was told you can’t ride pretty and or papers. There are some pretty good grade horses out there that are awesome and get the job done.
Cowboys are the current evolution of the Spanish military troop called Dragon de Cuera, they used to patrol the border of the Spanish territories in North America from de XVI to the XVIII century, Chilenan and Argentinian Gauchos and Mexican vaqueros are also part of it.

Same as most other creatures. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Nice fashion sense. Stay safe.
That was a great watch. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Just a good animal for a damned good man. He looks for the best in the horse and apparently he found more than he thought he would.
I ride but I have never owned a horse but I would look for something like this.
Absolutely love the real meaning of your video! Thank you for being real & down to earth
He is a kind horse. His eyes show nothing but wanting to please his alpha.

You have sure picked a good one he Will be a champ when he mature😊
He's a nice horse. You're doing a really good job with him.
Thank you!🙏
Awesome video. Spectacular display of horsemanship.
Thank you, Scott! Appreciate the kind words here.
Love how much effort you put into your videos, cant wait for your channel to blow up!

Oh please I want to learn on horse back riding already ❤
I heard the Hancocks are tough but can really hold up for long distance.
Just found your channel and find myself growing as an aspiring young horse trainer
My thoughts are: he needs a little more engagement when striking-off at the lope. When this happens for you, it should be accompanied with softness that will change his entire perspective on forward movement. `Really nice job getting him to ths point in his training..
Agreed. And I could always be softer. Still trying to break old habits from riding half broke ranch horses.
nice looking horse fun to watch
What a cool little horse. You're doin' right by him. Nice job. I hope you post more of his progress on here-subscribed!
Good job ❤
Way to go! Keeping going!
Thanks, Julie!🙏
You have amazing position! I see way too many western riders not knowing how to ride
Thank you!
Great monologue
Great video
👌🏼
Rome wasn't built in a day .Horsemanship is a lifelong journey .

This guy looks like if captain america and the wild west had a baby. it's awesome.
This is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Bless you 🙏
Dang I loved this
Thank you!🙏
Great video, thanks
Thanks, Muleskinner! Appreciate you hanging with us.
Nice video. This gelding is going to be good ranch horse. How about an update on the Friesian mare you purchases last year?
Nice colt...
I enjoyed this video! Keep us updated with this horse! ❤ New Subscriber!
In the palace the kids are telling the digni they work in Lawrenceville
Great video!
but why twisted snafle ?
In this case, half of my horses arent broke. At least I know that I am 😂
Great video!
Thank you!🙏
Nice work. Liked and Subscribed!👍🏻
Great video, nice work man
Thank you. 🙏
On days like tht stretch out his chest he’s stiffed legged, grab a hoof till he stop pulling away, then bend the leg back grab the knee & hoof shake it back n forth Both sides…….
you are making a nice horse
Thanks, Matt. We appreciate your time on our channel.
Imagine the cameraman spinning in circles ♾️
Yeah we had to pause a couple of times…😂
He looks like he has Spanish Mustang blood in him
You want a tough horse with a lot of try for cheap, get yourself a mustang. Best horses in the world!
$4,500. “A shitter” lmao
❤❤❤
Let me know when you ready to sale him
das Pferd ist suuuuper
hinter der Senkrechten zu reiten ist falsch und schadet dem Pferd enorm
the real Aurthur Morgan lol
Figuring out a horse’s gait is as difficult as following a football play. At least for me.
He seems to do better at faster gaits with holding himself upright, I've heard that's common with younger horses. Do you think he's breaking at the poll a little when you collect him due to him being younger and lacking in proper strength to carry himself collected yet?
Does he have any thoroughbred in him ? He has a nice stride
Where in Utah is Stone Field Ranch?
How do you teach em to do that stop like that?
So I'm somewhat experienced with horses I can get a horse where I need it and I've never had any issues getting horse to do what I need it to but I've recently been trying to train my girlfriends horse and every little thing is a struggle he has no go in him whatsoever, got any tips? He's had nothing but ground work for 9 years before that I believe he was rode a little but not enough to count
What a pretty mover
What size it that arena ?
Why is his tail kinda taped together?
Do you name your horses? How do you refer to them?
Tail is either bagged or up high in a top knot so he doesn’t step on it while backing. Not taped.
Yeah they have names. This one just doesn’t have one yet so I call him Dunny. Appropriate in most country’s except Australia.🇦🇺
"break them..."😞
Are you wearing the master supply co grimshaw? 🤔
Yessir!
@@Stonefieldranch thought so! Picked up the midnight grimshaw myself! Glad to see more people wearing their brand. Awesome Channel by the way. Love what you’re doing here.
You both are doin great, but the way his hindlegs are moving looks a bit off. Maybe even something to let the vet check before its getting worse.
Are you a self taught rider or did you have a coach on the side helping you?
Mostly self taught but I definitely watch others and try to learn from them. I ride and train every day and usually start a few colts every year. Thanks for tuning into the channel!
If you want a horse to last, maybe give them another year or so before you ride them hard like ranch boys do. They will last longer if their knees can close and spine develope before then.
What is the name of the piece he’s putting on the horse at minute 2:38? If someone could please tell me I’d appreciate it.
It’s a Caveson.
also we can say face halter
This is the American Quarter Horses.
🏈🐎🇺🇸🥤🏜️💎💫💙❤️🛻
You can't make a horse, you grow them from horse chestnuts.
Give him his head please
He actually looks like he's on a fairly loose rein, green horses tend to break at the poll because they lack the strength for proper collection I believe.
He has his head, sometimes they just don’t carry themselves properly in the beginning. Eventually they figure it out.
@@wintershock a tight tuck is hardly “having his head”

You’re not wrong. But with the prices of good horses right now many of us rely on being DIYers.

The fact that breaking a horse and training a horse mean the same thing to you really bothers me
It’s a universal term
To those that know what they are talking about it means the same thing. You can tell this gentleman knows the difference
Spurs........ No, sir. Bits...... Noooooo.
You don’t have true horsemanship without the original cowboy. You have bad and abusive trainers in ALL facets of the horse world. So don’t just point out the cowboy because they are probably the closest you can get to a horse in human form.
That horse is way too small for you... ur too big for riding ponies.
He’s 15-1 and 1000 lbs as a coming 4 Year Old.
That’s definitely not a pony
It’s a young horse
