I watch alot of horse training/buying videos on RUclips. I can always tell the good trainers from the not so good ones. This guy for example, he has such a quiet, gentle energy. He's probably a helluva horseman. Just by his demeanor around this horse. Thank you for your videos. I'm subscribing to yours because I see you have a genuine love for horses.
This has helped me a great deal, I rescued two small horses a couple of years ago, I had one trained for trail riding and the other has already been broke but has not been well socialized, we purchased a horse from someone close by, we got lucky, she has had a lot of socialization and experience with people bringing her several places for trail riding, she's 7 and is a nice mare, calm and friendly. I really enjoy your calmness too, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
You're very welcome, Diane! Thank you for watching our video, we're glad you enjoyed it. Please let us know if you'd like us to do a video on any horsemanship subject that concerns you. We'll always be glad to help!
The horse I chose because of his eyes is well balanced, highly athletic intelligent and kind. He's an arabian stallion who had never been successfully haltered at six years old. He had never been handled at all after two days attempts at haltering him and had never set foot outside the small run he was born in.
No amount of money could buy my horse. He's perfect for me but I look for a far different type of horse than Boots. I don't mind an unhandled horse or one that has been spoiled. I find them interesting to work with. I like a very energetic and highly athletic horse with big eyes and a good mind.
It sounds like you assume Boots isn't energetic or athletic; is that because he's standing there quietly?? I think we can assume he's well trained, and that's all we can assume. Besides, this trainer isn't saying don't buy a horse whose nose is hard; just that a horse like that is nervous. Or don't buy a head-shy horse; or don't buy a horse that won't move over from pressure on the side. He's just saying that if you're looking for a finished horse, that you can use right away, those are signs to look for. You yourself like doing some work, so you wouldn't be looking for a finished horse.
I have 12 yr old ranch horse had him since he was 4 he stays with a cow but when I pasture rope he ran off with a 500lb heiffer on the horn after i gave her a shot.Should i hobble him when i doctor by myself?I need some advice.

Having years of experience is one thing, but if you are willing to share this knowledge as you do, this is so great, thankyou
You're welcome! We are always excited to share our passion!
Thanks my way of giving back....
Handy horseman, can you please share how to feed a senior? Would appreciate any info you have for the oldies but goodies. Thanks!
I love your no nonsense, no frills, VERY informative video. I subscribed. : ) I never knew that about soft noses!
You are truly a professional!!
One of the best trainers on utube. Congratulations on your expertise......
I think you're the best in the entire Internet, thank you for letting us learn .
This is absolute TRUTH...thank you for sharing Sir.
"perfect" for me is safe, good ground manners, sweet. I may have this all wrong. But I would feel real comfortable sitting on a horse like that.
AMAZING PRACTICAL INFORMATION- I am currently searching for my first horse and your video was the best and most useful-
Thanks!

Best advice I’ve heard so far. Thank you, sir!
I never knew about the teeth sharpness trick.
The first thing I noticed about Boots before you said anything was he had what I call "soft"eyes. It's the first thing I look at.
Thanks for sharing your insights!! Good job.

Mr. Ted, what is a cowbilly?
I got a horse who is perfect for me although he might not be the right horse for someone else. I looked into his eyes and I was owned.
I have 12 yr old ranch horse had him since he was 4 he stays with a cow but when I pasture rope he ran off with a 500lb heiffer on the horn after i gave her a shot.Should i hobble him when i doctor by myself?I need some advice.
Well said thankyou
