Did anyone else just completely fall in love with this horse at 18:32 when it rests its nose on his body. I just melted. This horse is so good and so loving that it's just like "I cuddle you".
I am loving this!!!! Can't get to the end yet, I gotta say something about his nose, mouth touching you Ryan. What I see is he wants to interact with you or the owner, and I would take that opportunity to rub his muzzle, let him know mentally and emotionally that you "hear" what he is saying. Now if he snakes his head at you that's a whole different ball game as you well know. The woman needs to learn this. He is a very good horse who wants to engage with people. Ok let's see the rest of it....this is great stuff!!!! He is a handsome fellow, hope he gets the best in life!!!!
Awww. He came to you after the scary rope had his leg. He was relieved that you were fair and good to him and released the pressure and he was relieved he could stay relaxed around you. He learned things could get scary, but it is safe and ok to relax if things get scary....when he is around you. This was a GREAT thing for him to learn. This is a building block that many problem horses do NOT have. Trust. They never got to learn that ppl are generally safe and going to help if things get scary.
Your reading of horse body language is phenomenal.I love we can go on RUclips and level up so quick through experts who spent a lifetime perfecting their knowledge ,👍👍👏👏👏🙌
My first reaction was disbelief that this lady bought the horse when the owner wouldn't ride him. But he seems like a great horse. She must have had a feeling deep down that he was worth the risk. Happy for her!
Sometimes people selling horses are not strong enough to ride the horses they are selling because they both haven’t ridden in awhile. In many cases a strong trainer comes and will get on the horse. The seller should explain this. “He strong, hasn’t been ridden in awhile and I can’t ride him. My back is bad. That’s why I am selling him etc”. Be honest. Bring a trainer when buying a horse if you are not experienced.
I really liked this horse from 2 minutes in...really wished I had him as my own. Really solid guy. I am sire he can be a tad stubborn on his own, bit when trained properly, that stubborn becomes an asset because they don't like to change once they have an idea in their mind about how things are and if he knows how to do his job and what is expected, he is the kind to look at the person like...yeah you don't know what you are doing...but I will help you out and not take advantage of this situation because I know how it is supposed to be done.
I know this is super-late to the game, but I’m chuckling at how this little horse snuck up to Ryans ‘hay pile’ and even got him stroking his chin _ so funny! Such a sweet little horse, and sure, maybe that bit insecure but completely adorable. I love just as much how instinctively gentle and kind Ryan was in return. Just entirely sweet and lovely to watch, the perfect antidote to today. ❤
I could never be a trainer. He didn't feel aggressive, just insecure... The I need a hug feel in people. I'd yield to the horse and have to hug him 😁😁😁 Absolutely beautiful.
That's exactly how I feel. Why would you not want the horse in your space, if he wants to give you hugs and kisses let him. I'm a bit confused about this method. 😢 I would want my horse to be near me and be comfortable to come close to me. 🤷♀️
@@tanyaoellermann If nothing else, you don't want to do that for the horse's sake. Years ago, my boss bought a beautiful Morgan gelding from a very reputable stable. The first morning, I opened his stall door and he piled himself into the back of the stall like he expected me to kill him. He could easily have injured himself with the force with which he piled into the back wall of the stall. I had done nothing to him. I didn't burst into the stall like a lunatic. I didn't do anything to frighten him, but he acted like I was a lion leaping onto his back. This went on for months, every time I opened the stall door, no matter how much I spoke to him, prepared him, made sure he saw me, no matter how kind I was to him, he always responded by trying to plow through the back wall of his stall, and I couldn't understand what had happened to him. As it so happened, we had a show in upstate New York that summer, and we took him along. The first day there, as we were getting settled into the big top tent stabling, I heard someone talking in the row of stalls behind us. The Morgan heard it too, and he absolutely lost his mind. This time, he wasn't plowing into the back wall trying to get away, he was trying to tear down the stall to get to the person talking in the next row. She heard the commotion and came running to see what was going on. As she rounded the corner, she recognized him and called him by name. When she got to the front of his stall, he just fell into her arms. As it happened, she had raised him. She clearly adored him, and he adored her. You could see they were quite accustomed to this enthusiastic, affectionate greeting by which he nearly leaped into her arms (which must have been adorable when he was a foal). That said, a greeting by a fully grown 900lb gelding like that would have been frightening to anyone who didn't know him. As we pieced together his life story, it turned out he'd only been on four farms. He was born and raised on her place, trained by an Amishman whom we also used, then went to the "reputable stable" and then came to us. When I talked to the Amishman who broke him, it turned out that he had a really soft place for the horse as well, and he had done well on their place. So the only place he could have picked up his terror about having someone open his stall door and enter the stall was at the "reputable stable." That stable was large enough to have a lot of employees, and my guess is he came to the door for his enthusiastic greeting to someone who didn't know him, who probably fended him off with whatever was in hand, possibly a pitchfork. That would not have been his fault, but honestly, the fault of the owner who taught him to do that. We were not able to get him over his fear, and I was afraid he was going to hurt himself by the force with which he threw himself at the wall several times daily. Then the Amish trainer offered to buy him for a buggy horse and we let him go. He was happy and comfortable there, because he knew them before whatever trauma had happened to him, and he spent the rest of his days pulling a buggy. He is a great object lesson for why you always teach a horse to respect your space. That doesn't mean you can't be affectionate with your horse, but you never know where he might end up or who might have contact with him, who might be startled into defending themselves by a horse that doesn't wait to be invited.
What a great little horse Zane is! He seems eager to learn and very receptive of the work you are asking of him. Your calm presence is very effective at settling his emotional mind when he gets a little stressed. I am looking forward to seeing how he progresses.
Ryan, you gave us more in this 27 minute video than a dozen weekend clinics. There are so many subtleties packed into this, many nonverbal. A person could watch this several times. Thank you so much.
What a great way too enjoy a Sunday night in Christchurch New Zealand watching a talented horseman, display great knowledge, skill and humour/humor. Enjoyable.
Zane seems like a lovely horse. He has a lovely expression in his eyes. He thinks about things. He’s a little nervous and tends to crowd but he doesn’t seem at all aggressive. I wonder if the new people and environment are making him a little more insecure. There is no attempt to bite or step on your feet. He learns fast. I think he would readily attach to his new owner. I like his conformation. Really nice sturdy looking gelding. Withers appear high enough to keep the saddle from shifting. I am eager to see how he takes to a rider. She already says he handles saddling okay. I like this horse!!
Another excellent instructional format, Ryan! Your presentations are easy to follow and calming for the horse (and human)! This vid feels like a synopsis of all things groundwork, like just this could take someone pretty far with a new horse. Also, your generosity to share so much knowledge for the GP is a blessing and much appreciated. You're helping the world be a better place through your kindness. Thank you!!!
Totally agree ,,his level of communication with humans and horses,makes it easy and pleasurable to learn from him ,,very very good demo,, Life time with horse,s and still learning,,,starting my 3rd "last horse," i,m so old and light weight she,s actually a pony , And although i live in spain i managed to find a beautiful quarterhorse/ appaloosa,, She is a joy to work with,,very focused and a super quick learner ,, so i really hope to raise my game and do the best job i have ever done ,,very grateful for the level of imfo he gives for free,,,its a master class , in short form , much appreciated🙏🐎♥️🐕🌠
Sure appreciate the owner being brave enough to be on video, not everyone would do that. Feel like this horse is pretty fortunate too. Can't wait to see the following video. I'm going to be looking for a new horse this spring (hopefully), the first time in 12 years. Kinda sorry I don't live in Wisconsin anymore. Glad for pointers - thank you for a great video.
@@ryanrosehorsemanship your videos are fantastic! Can’t wait for part 2😁 I will say, this woman seems more aware & capable, also seems to understand how to communicate with horses, better than other owners we’ve seen. With a little help from you, I they they will do great together. Guess I should wait to see the rest of the videos first 😆
Good job Ryan. Everyone is in love with the horse and truly he is a nice horse. What people should really see here is good trainer at work. Another person who didn't know what they were doing could take the same horse and ruin it in the time it has taken you to make a willing partner of it. Kudos to you and to the woman who bought this horse. Maybe she's not just lucky but has some experience also and some good horse sense herself to have picked such a nice horse with such good potential and to have known when to get some assistance. I'll be watching you Ryan. I too am awaiting the next video. Thank you!
This horse is a little sweetheart. He really wants to please. I reckon he needs some more training for his own self security, and once that’s established he’ll be a super horse. He’s absolutely gorgeous. I also really like how calm and attentive Ryan is with him. There’s so many interesting and informative points here. I’ve so much respect for these training methods. Thank you, I really enjoyed that. Kind regards from Scotland 🏴🥰
Can't wait to see part 2! Picked up a few new things I can use training thank you. Love how you explain its not really the reaction it's how long it takes the horse to understand and be ok with what your doing.
Excited to see the next part. Omg what a good boy. And a cuddle bug. He doesn't seem to have any issue with asking questions about what you're doing and looks very, "Oh! Okay." about everything once he gets it lol. Gotta be a joy to work with him.
This guy reminds me SO MUCH of my horse. We've been working on a while with his confidence. He's gained a lot on the ground but he needs a lot of work in the saddle. I can tell that these videos are going to be very beneficial for me
At first I think we were all like...oooohhhhh you bought a horse they wouldn't ride? Then it was like ...he is beautiful, then, ohh he moves nicely just some manners to touch up on and then it was like doesn't matter what faults he has even if you have to saddle train him from scratch that boy was coming home! A perfect candidate to have a trainer slash RUclipsr come walk through his paces and end up with a good video. I am off to part two where I expect he is perfectly rideable but also needs some touch up here n there, particularly after not having been ridden in a while. Who knows what he taught himself in that extended time but I bet its not too long before they clean it up and have a nice safe horse. Glad she loves him already and glad the former owner knew she wasn't doing him any favors not riding him and it was time for him to move on. Nice vlog, good movement, explanations and as always, great audio!
Unless you are a *very* experienced horse handler, *never* buy one without:1) taking an experienced person with you who will give you an honest second opinion; and 2) either getting on them or driving them first, just to get an impression. His new owner got lucky here, but she did go for experienced help right away & I commend her for that. Good luck!
Even experienced horsemen benefit from having a second opinion. Emotions affect our judgment. As a buyer, we can be swayed by our emotions while our friends bring an objectivity to the process. They can often see factors we overlooked, or have experience in a particular area of horsemanship that we don't have, which might be pertinent for that particular horse. `Two heads are better than one'.
Oh my god these horses expressions are so cute. They look exactly like those of a horse ive been riding, that behaved similarly to a dog. So curious and always following you. Literally doesnt have an issue with anything, the most spooked hes ever been was just taking his head up and looking. This horse character is just so fun to work with i love it
EXCELLENT HORSE! He's a GEM! won't take much to get him tune and he WANTS to be with his human that's a bond u can't find! I hope she realizes what an excellent mount she has n invests time n effort in him. He would take the right person to the top in trail, show, cattle, anything 👍💯❤️
He's a keeper! Seems really bright and catches on quickly. So fun to see this demonstrated. I'd love to see multiple videos with this horse since he's so photogenic and fun to watch. Hope there's more to come, I'd love to see his progress. Thanks, Ryan!
Zane seems like he has lots of potential. Thank you for covering this topic, you continue to be first to do these type of things. I really love that you do not talk too much, or get too philosophical. My attention spans wans with too much off topic words. I always learned something (sometimes a lot!) from your videos. Your point about confidence is interesting and could very well apply to my horse. You've been so generous with your help for us with our horses. I hope someday to be able to visit or see you in a clinic, as I think it would be an amazing experience....
TY soooo much for this! I have to watch these vids you do a bajillion times bc you crowd so much valuable info in such a short time! You are so clear in your commentary, Ryan. You have such a gift. I've been on your patreon for a year now. It's been a fab investment in my horsey knowledge. HNY, Team Rose!
Beautiful Beautiful Gorgeous good looking healthy smart horse. He seems very calm and eager to listen and learn.. Thank you for sharing a very enjoyable video🐴🐴💝💝
My dad and I got a horse named Doc when I was 6 and sold him when I was 16. My dad had trained lots of horses before and after we bought him, before hand he trained us kids on how to handle and also ride all kinds of horses of all kinds of temperaments. When he trained doc it was like building blocks. Everything that was introduced to him step my step, two weeks for everything just to break it all done without being extremely long winded. We bought Doc when he was a year. By the time he was two, he was completely started to ride and could handle anything ! He was super friendly, was an alpha male and loved to work because it was attention to him and he craved it! He got to a point he could roam the whole stable and barn without anything on him and he would not run off. If he was in the back of the barn and he heard you take the saddle down, he came to you ears up , stopped and let you saddle him and we would go ride! I even could ride him with nothing on at all, not even a bridal. Still to this day, I have never ever seen a horse greater than him!
Thank you for this video - my horse is going on 7 years old. Also very green - thankful to see you work with a fresh to you horse. My horse has some sass in our ground work, but never under saddle. :) I have a pro working with her and through my daily ground work and under saddle, she is beginning to be much more at ease and getting that softness. It takes time :)
I love how present and expressive this horse is. Textbook example for people looking to learn when/where/how you can see that they're calm and keen vs reactive or stressed.
That is a great horse, he’s very friendly and I wouldn’t be afraid to ride him right now. He seems relaxed and honest. I like the way he wants to be close but not pushing or being aggressive like bumping or trying to bite like some horses do. I wish all horses were this friendly. I would be very willing and comfortable to buy this great horse from her right now if she wanted to sell him. I think he moves great and follows commands easily.
I've recently started watching your videos looking for refreshment in knowledge. My herd is aging. A couple years ago I picked up a project horse. He's a uber sensitive Irish Sport horse. I learned to ride sensitive Arabians as a youth. I've started a handful of nice colts, but this one is different. His owner returned the gelding to the sire's owner. She was a maybe and Intermediate beginner, and was not a good combination. He learned several behaviors to avoid being ridden. Like bucking, raring, bolting and biting. The sire's ownee contacted me, because she knee my current dressage horse was out of action for months die to a pasture injury. I was given the option to work him at the sire's owner's farm for 30 days before I decided to take him. Honestly, he was a mismatched with the gal that owned him from birth. He was a terrified horse just reacting out of fear for self preservation. In the first 30 days, we had several rides with improvement with each ride. His bucks and rares, I found to be like trained movie style actions. Very easy to ride through in a dressage saddle without loosing my seat. I gave him down time with bringing him to my farm. He was so scared if you went to toss a flake of hay in front of him, he'd be 100 yards away before it hit the ground. We've not had any bolting after the first 3 months. No moves to bite after the first 5 months. Now I can toss a flake of hay on his back when he's loose in the pasture. We've worked through feeding dominance. The list of successes goes on and on. Now, I feel like his trust and behaviors are ready to relearn to be ridden. He's a curious boy. Always watching with a interested stare. I always make sure he's present to watch when I'm working with or riding my other horses. Your videos are extremely helpful getting us prepared for the next step. It's been 18 years since I started my last colt.
What a lovely horse he looks, and i love your calm way of work, (i think i said it before) love to watch your video's can wait to see the next one to see how it continues ☺
Ryan! What a great video...You added more to knowledge already gained at your feet....thank you for 'translating' Zane's expressions...both the ones on his face and the demeanor of his body language..I can't wait to see Part 2 and the 'more' you have to offer as you grow in your craft...
I like your videos. I spend a lot of time working my horses to respond to the absolute lightest cues possible. When people ask me how I get my horses so well neck reined I pretty much show and explain exactly what you do on the ground with halter and lead. Most horses can be taught to give (move away from) with a swish of the tail or pinning the ears in horse to horse interactions. The riders JOB is to teach the horse to respond with as light of touch as needed to get a response
Man I love your videos. Just watched about 5 videos and you're a very good human. The horses love you and I hope the people who bought your services cherish each moment with them. So much to learn with your videos. Animals have communication skills.
I appreciate and love your teaching style. You explain things very well, not condensending, arrogant, grumpy, burnt out or talk down to people/students. Your friendly, give good detail and ques to reading the horses body language, straight forward and approachable. Im so glad I found you. I have a mule and this slower approach and not running your animal in endless circles to tire them out to MAKE them listen vs waiting for the ques that your equine understands what your really asking with out dominating and forcing. Im not sure if Im making my thoughts clear. lol. End result.. thank you love your teaching style and methods.
This is amazing, you're so calm. I couldn't do what you do, I'd be a nightmare. As the soon as a horse that adorable followed me about it would end up sleeping at the bottom of the bed with the similarly insecure cat and all the duvet.
I would have bought this horse too. 😍 A pretty boy. He is receptive. The lady seems like she just wanted a nice pleasure horse and shame on the sellers. I am sure this will give her what she wants in the end. Thank you for the content and your wisdom.👽
Lots of good signs, the horse stayed engaged with you throughout some things he's probably never had done before, and was looking for the answer. He didn't panic or lose his mind, he was willing to learn. Even if he's green and has a few scary moments in his riding career, I feel like this is a horse who would settle quickly and listen to his human
Hi Ryan 🤗just found your channel! Watching from Vic Australia 🇦🇺 what a sweet horse so cute 🐎 love everything you do with this fela . I look forward to the ride and practicing these technics on my horses.
New subscriber, I have seen your videos before. We also have wild Mustangs N I belive that is how we found you. We are getting another wild Mustang who is a SA 12yr missing his left eye. Most likey be our toughest gentleing yet. Just waiting for pickup date. This will make 4 wild Mustangs and 1 wild Burro. Beautiful horse and well done. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
Wow that really summed up and finished off the first video I watched of you doing the rope thing a few months ago… and I realize I really really need to go buy a rope. 🤣 this ol barrel racer needs a rope! Not only for desensitization but to find out where my project is at as far as “willing to learn”
I dont have a horse and have not rode a horse in 7 years,,,and 10 years previous . I do go see the horses at Fairs and such. But for some reason have been binge watching all your videos.
First off this Horse has a Great Body and I am a sucker for a Buckskin. I never did that I rode all the new Horse that arrived at the barn. easy peasy .
This is such a cute horse. He’s doing such a great job! My initial thought was that this new owner was scared of him which is why she had Ryan come out to evaluate.
He’s so adorable ❤️and he seems like he’s such a baby . I can tell what you mean by he seems insecure. He’s going to be perfect once he gets the kinks out.
I was looking to buy a horse after selling my precious TB, 3 yrs later. I went to a horse sale and the only nice horse there was a Appaloosa gelding. He was a no sale. A week later there was an add in the paper, horses for sale. So, I went to see if I could find me a horse. Well, to my surprise, that Appy was there. We saddled him up, rode him for a few minutes and he threw me off, so I bought him. We've been together for 23 yrs, my daughter been riding him since she was 3. He does it all ! You don't have to spend big bucks for a fantastic horse, I trained Comanche and made him My horse. He's also smarter than most humans. He's 31 and looks like a 6 yr old. Love you greatly. ❤️ Romona DeBartolome
Lucky gal. I bought a TW from a couple who were both vets and raised and trained. I wound up in the Trauma ICU. Flatlined. Lucky to be alive. I have no doubt they had sedated the horse when I went to try her. I didn't follow my gut and hind sight showed me the red flags I ignored?
Ryan I love your temperament as you work with these majestic animals, sometimes it be funny when you have to use the flag I like how they know how to move out the way and change to be a good horse.
Did anyone else just completely fall in love with this horse at 18:32 when it rests its nose on his body. I just melted. This horse is so good and so loving that it's just like "I cuddle you".

He’s actually very quiet and friendly especially with the flag. Looks cold. I love to start working a spunky horse in warmer weather lol

Totally agree ,,his level of communication with humans and horses,makes it easy and pleasurable to learn from him ,,very very good demo,,
Life time with horse,s and still learning,,,starting my 3rd "last horse," i,m so old and light weight she,s actually a pony ,
And although i live in spain i managed to find a beautiful quarterhorse/ appaloosa,,
She is a joy to work with,,very focused and a super quick learner ,, so i really hope to raise my game and do the best job i have ever done ,,very grateful for the level of imfo he gives for free,,,its a master class , in short form , much appreciated🙏🐎♥️🐕🌠
Sure appreciate the owner being brave enough to be on video, not everyone would do that.
Feel like this horse is pretty fortunate too. Can't wait to see the following video.
I'm going to be looking for a new horse this spring (hopefully), the first time in 12 years. Kinda sorry I don't live in Wisconsin anymore. Glad for pointers - thank you for a great video.
These are my favorite type of videos. Where we get to see Ryan work with unfamiliar horses.😁
😀👍 me to. Hope todo more in the future.
@@ryanrosehorsemanship your videos are fantastic! Can’t wait for part 2😁
I will say, this woman seems more aware & capable, also seems to understand how to communicate with horses, better than other owners we’ve seen.
With a little help from you, I they they will do great together. Guess I should wait to see the rest of the videos first 😆
Good job Ryan. Everyone is in love with the horse and truly he is a nice horse. What people should really see here is good trainer at work. Another person who didn't know what they were doing could take the same horse and ruin it in the time it has taken you to make a willing partner of it. Kudos to you and to the woman who bought this horse. Maybe she's not just lucky but has some experience also and some good horse sense herself to have picked such a nice horse with such good potential and to have known when to get some assistance. I'll be watching you Ryan. I too am awaiting the next video. Thank you!
This horse is a little sweetheart. He really wants to please. I reckon he needs some more training for his own self security, and once that’s established he’ll be a super horse. He’s absolutely gorgeous. I also really like how calm and attentive Ryan is with him. There’s so many interesting and informative points here. I’ve so much respect for these training methods. Thank you, I really enjoyed that. Kind regards from Scotland 🏴🥰
Can't wait to see part 2! Picked up a few new things I can use training thank you. Love how you explain its not really the reaction it's how long it takes the horse to understand and be ok with what your doing.
Thanks 👍👌 coming soon
This is the first of your work I’ve seen Ryan. What a terrific lesson. I’ll be back for more. 💜
Excited to see the next part.
Omg what a good boy. And a cuddle bug. He doesn't seem to have any issue with asking questions about what you're doing and looks very, "Oh! Okay." about everything once he gets it lol.
Gotta be a joy to work with him.
Props to you. You clearly explain what your doing, what it does, how is safe and okay, and your not agressive! I respect you greatly :)
This guy reminds me SO MUCH of my horse. We've been working on a while with his confidence. He's gained a lot on the ground but he needs a lot of work in the saddle. I can tell that these videos are going to be very beneficial for me
Great 👍
Love this. Can't wait for Part 2. A lightbulb went off several times while you were teaching.
This was so interesting to watch! I am ready for part 2!!
😀👌
He is a beautiful animal. And I'm truly learning from your instruction. Thank you.
Agreed, thanks!
At first I think we were all like...oooohhhhh you bought a horse they wouldn't ride? Then it was like ...he is beautiful, then, ohh he moves nicely just some manners to touch up on and then it was like doesn't matter what faults he has even if you have to saddle train him from scratch that boy was coming home! A perfect candidate to have a trainer slash RUclipsr come walk through his paces and end up with a good video. I am off to part two where I expect he is perfectly rideable but also needs some touch up here n there, particularly after not having been ridden in a while. Who knows what he taught himself in that extended time but I bet its not too long before they clean it up and have a nice safe horse. Glad she loves him already and glad the former owner knew she wasn't doing him any favors not riding him and it was time for him to move on. Nice vlog, good movement, explanations and as always, great audio!
Unless you are a *very* experienced horse handler, *never* buy one without:1) taking an experienced person with you who will give you an honest second opinion; and 2) either getting on them or driving them first, just to get an impression. His new owner got lucky here, but she did go for experienced help right away & I commend her for that. Good luck!
Even experienced horsemen benefit from having a second opinion. Emotions affect our judgment. As a buyer, we can be swayed by our emotions while our friends bring an objectivity to the process. They can often see factors we overlooked, or have experience in a particular area of horsemanship that we don't have, which might be pertinent for that particular horse. `Two heads are better than one'.
Oh my god these horses expressions are so cute. They look exactly like those of a horse ive been riding, that behaved similarly to a dog. So curious and always following you. Literally doesnt have an issue with anything, the most spooked hes ever been was just taking his head up and looking. This horse character is just so fun to work with i love it
Definitely
EXCELLENT HORSE! He's a GEM! won't take much to get him tune and he WANTS to be with his human that's a bond u can't find! I hope she realizes what an excellent mount she has n invests time n effort in him. He would take the right person to the top in trail, show, cattle, anything 👍💯❤️
He's a keeper! Seems really bright and catches on quickly. So fun to see this demonstrated. I'd love to see multiple videos with this horse since he's so photogenic and fun to watch. Hope there's more to come, I'd love to see his progress. Thanks, Ryan!
👌👍
Zane seems like he has lots of potential. Thank you for covering this topic, you continue to be first to do these type of things. I really love that you do not talk too much, or get too philosophical. My attention spans wans with too much off topic words. I always learned something (sometimes a lot!) from your videos. Your point about confidence is interesting and could very well apply to my horse. You've been so generous with your help for us with our horses. I hope someday to be able to visit or see you in a clinic, as I think it would be an amazing experience....
So interesting! Loved the tests and what reaction you were looking for. Can’t wait for part 2!
😀✅
TY soooo much for this! I have to watch these vids you do a bajillion times bc you crowd so much valuable info in such a short time! You are so clear in your commentary, Ryan. You have such a gift. I've been on your patreon for a year now. It's been a fab investment in my horsey knowledge. HNY, Team Rose!
Thank you
Beautiful Beautiful Gorgeous good looking healthy smart horse. He seems very calm and eager to listen and learn.. Thank you for sharing a very enjoyable video🐴🐴💝💝
Nice work 👌 ...and a nice and gentle horse.
Thanks
My dad and I got a horse named Doc when I was 6 and sold him when I was 16. My dad had trained lots of horses before and after we bought him, before hand he trained us kids on how to handle and also ride all kinds of horses of all kinds of temperaments. When he trained doc it was like building blocks. Everything that was introduced to him step my step, two weeks for everything just to break it all done without being extremely long winded. We bought Doc when he was a year. By the time he was two, he was completely started to ride and could handle anything ! He was super friendly, was an alpha male and loved to work because it was attention to him and he craved it! He got to a point he could roam the whole stable and barn without anything on him and he would not run off. If he was in the back of the barn and he heard you take the saddle down, he came to you ears up , stopped and let you saddle him and we would go ride! I even could ride him with nothing on at all, not even a bridal. Still to this day, I have never ever seen a horse greater than him!
One of the absolute best communicators on horsemanship that I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for this video - my horse is going on 7 years old. Also very green - thankful to see you work with a fresh to you horse. My horse has some sass in our ground work, but never under saddle. :) I have a pro working with her and through my daily ground work and under saddle, she is beginning to be much more at ease and getting that softness. It takes time :)
I love how present and expressive this horse is. Textbook example for people looking to learn when/where/how you can see that they're calm and keen vs reactive or stressed.
He seems like such a lovely gentle soul
That is a great horse, he’s very friendly and I wouldn’t be afraid to ride him right now. He seems relaxed and honest. I like the way he wants to be close but not pushing or being aggressive like bumping or trying to bite like some horses do. I wish all horses were this friendly. I would be very willing and comfortable to buy this great horse from her right now if she wanted to sell him. I think he moves great and follows commands easily.
I've recently started watching your videos looking for refreshment in knowledge. My herd is aging. A couple years ago I picked up a project horse. He's a uber sensitive Irish Sport horse. I learned to ride sensitive Arabians as a youth. I've started a handful of nice colts, but this one is different. His owner returned the gelding to the sire's owner. She was a maybe and Intermediate beginner, and was not a good combination. He learned several behaviors to avoid being ridden. Like bucking, raring, bolting and biting. The sire's ownee contacted me, because she knee my current dressage horse was out of action for months die to a pasture injury. I was given the option to work him at the sire's owner's farm for 30 days before I decided to take him. Honestly, he was a mismatched with the gal that owned him from birth. He was a terrified horse just reacting out of fear for self preservation. In the first 30 days, we had several rides with improvement with each ride. His bucks and rares, I found to be like trained movie style actions. Very easy to ride through in a dressage saddle without loosing my seat. I gave him down time with bringing him to my farm. He was so scared if you went to toss a flake of hay in front of him, he'd be 100 yards away before it hit the ground. We've not had any bolting after the first 3 months. No moves to bite after the first 5 months. Now I can toss a flake of hay on his back when he's loose in the pasture. We've worked through feeding dominance. The list of successes goes on and on. Now, I feel like his trust and behaviors are ready to relearn to be ridden. He's a curious boy. Always watching with a interested stare. I always make sure he's present to watch when I'm working with or riding my other horses. Your videos are extremely helpful getting us prepared for the next step. It's been 18 years since I started my last colt.
He is gorgeous and his owner is very fortunate.
I love your videos, thank you for clear explanations and demonstrations and the lack of waffle. Brilliant.
Thanks!
What an adorable little dumpling of a gelding, he's precious
What a beautiful horse. Really pleasing. A sweet horse, too! I really enjoyed this training session! Thank you! Excellent!
I LOVE HIM! Can't wait for part 2.
What a lovely horse he looks, and i love your calm way of work, (i think i said it before) love to watch your video's can wait to see the next one to see how it continues ☺
Such a beautiful horse!
Definitely
What an alert horseman, Rose! Thank you!
What a sweet sweet boy! Definitely a winner!
Very good job and wonderful tips on when and when not to release. 💕. He is a very cute little horse.
Ryan! What a great video...You added more to knowledge already gained at your feet....thank you for 'translating' Zane's expressions...both the ones on his face and the demeanor of his body language..I can't wait to see Part 2 and the 'more' you have to offer as you grow in your craft...
Great video! Really like how you explain things. Looking forward to part 2!
Thanks!
I like your videos. I spend a lot of time working my horses to respond to the absolute lightest cues possible. When people ask me how I get my horses so well neck reined I pretty much show and explain exactly what you do on the ground with halter and lead. Most horses can be taught to give (move away from) with a swish of the tail or pinning the ears in horse to horse interactions. The riders JOB is to teach the horse to respond with as light of touch as needed to get a response
Hes a beautiful looking horse but i love his mind and personality even more. He seems so sweet and is trying so hard
He's lovely. He looks like he just wants to please. Can't wait to see you ride him!
Man I love your videos. Just watched about 5 videos and you're a very good human. The horses love you and I hope the people who bought your services cherish each moment with them. So much to learn with your videos. Animals have communication skills.
Lovely horse and great to watch you’r work👍
Thanks!
I appreciate and love your teaching style. You explain things very well, not condensending, arrogant, grumpy, burnt out or talk down to people/students. Your friendly, give good detail and ques to reading the horses body language, straight forward and approachable. Im so glad I found you. I have a mule and this slower approach and not running your animal in endless circles to tire them out to MAKE them listen vs waiting for the ques that your equine understands what your really asking with out dominating and forcing. Im not sure if Im making my thoughts clear. lol. End result.. thank you love your teaching style and methods.
Wow! Ryan. I learn so much.
Thank you for all the great advice!!
You bet!
This is amazing, you're so calm. I couldn't do what you do, I'd be a nightmare. As the soon as a horse that adorable followed me about it would end up sleeping at the bottom of the bed with the similarly insecure cat and all the duvet.
Cant wait for part two. This horse definitly needs a steady confident hand as yourself.
👍👌
What a beautiful buckskin dun Ryan! Nice work :)
I'm in love with this horse's beautiful soul...I think he is such a lovebug ~
I learned so much from this! ❤️
Release on quality of the movement vs just the movement.
The bubble- yep. I see subtle things I’m missing.
Great video!! Really enjoyed this one. Excited for part 2!
Great thanks
New to your channel and absolutely love your videos. The information you provide is priceless!
Great job so far, looking forward to Part 2. ♡
1:25 Gotta love the 3 horses in the background hamming it up.
What cute little bunny hopper!! Lol
I would have bought this horse too. 😍 A pretty boy. He is receptive. The lady seems like she just wanted a nice pleasure horse and shame on the sellers. I am sure this will give her what she wants in the end. Thank you for the content and your wisdom.👽
Lots of good signs, the horse stayed engaged with you throughout some things he's probably never had done before, and was looking for the answer. He didn't panic or lose his mind, he was willing to learn. Even if he's green and has a few scary moments in his riding career, I feel like this is a horse who would settle quickly and listen to his human
Definitely
What a sweet disposition this horse has
Hi Ryan 🤗just found your channel! Watching from Vic Australia 🇦🇺 what a sweet horse so cute 🐎 love everything you do with this fela . I look forward to the ride and practicing these technics on my horses.
New subscriber, I have seen your videos before. We also have wild Mustangs N I belive that is how we found you. We are getting another wild Mustang who is a SA 12yr missing his left eye. Most likey be our toughest gentleing yet. Just waiting for pickup date. This will make 4 wild Mustangs and 1 wild Burro. Beautiful horse and well done. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
Wow that really summed up and finished off the first video I watched of you doing the rope thing a few months ago… and I realize I really really need to go buy a rope. 🤣 this ol barrel racer needs a rope! Not only for desensitization but to find out where my project is at as far as “willing to learn”
I dont have a horse and have not rode a horse in 7 years,,,and 10 years previous . I do go see the horses at Fairs and such. But for some reason have been binge watching all your videos.
First off this Horse has a Great Body and I am a sucker for a Buckskin. I never did that I rode all the new Horse that arrived at the barn. easy peasy
.
I loved the video too! Very interesting technique - I learned a lot. Can't wait for part 2! When will it be available?
This is such a cute horse. He’s doing such a great job! My initial thought was that this new owner was scared of him which is why she had Ryan come out to evaluate.
There was a lot of information in that video. Looking forward to the next one.
He seems like a really sweet and gorgeous horse. I’m no expert but I like that he wants to be near the humans, it’s so cute
Zane is such a cool dude 🙂. He's so cute ❤️
❤️can’t wait for part 2!
Coming soon 👍
The volume needs to go up a bit higher, if possible. I had trouble hearing the conversation, which I am very much interested in.
Rr u r a good teacher sir easy to understand u working with horse 🐎 scaicology
Thanks
He’s so adorable ❤️and he seems like he’s such a baby . I can tell what you mean by he seems insecure. He’s going to be perfect once he gets the kinks out.
I was looking to buy a horse after selling my precious TB, 3 yrs later. I went to a horse sale and the only nice horse there was a Appaloosa gelding. He was a no sale. A week later there was an add in the paper, horses for sale. So, I went to see if I could find me a horse. Well, to my surprise, that Appy was there. We saddled him up, rode him for a few minutes and he threw me off, so I bought him. We've been together for 23 yrs, my daughter been riding him since she was 3. He does it all ! You don't have to spend big bucks for a fantastic horse, I trained Comanche and made him My horse. He's also smarter than most humans. He's 31 and looks like a 6 yr old. Love you greatly. ❤️ Romona DeBartolome
What a cowboy! Wow! U r so amazing to watch! My papa was a real cowboy! I lost him last year at Xmas.....just dont see many REAL cowboys anymore!
Lucky gal. I bought a TW from a couple who were both vets and raised and trained. I wound up in the Trauma ICU. Flatlined. Lucky to be alive. I have no doubt they had sedated the horse when I went to try her. I didn't follow my gut and hind sight showed me the red flags I ignored?
Looking forward to part 2!
😀👍
Ryan I love your temperament as you work with these majestic animals, sometimes it be funny when you have to use the flag I like how they know how to move out the way and change to be a good horse.
What a gorgeous horse
Thank you, Ryan very knowledgeable. God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
I really like this guy Ryen he works on 1 thing and dont let little things bother him .hes great.its all abt.Saftey..
He is adorable!
