    I can't imagine how some people think you don't know exactly what you're doing when you're rehabbing these auction horses! But this 67 year old horse woman hasn't seen one misstep. In fact she's learned a hell of a lot by watching your videos!! Well done, CC!🐎💜🐎

    One of the biggest reasons I am 100 percent devoted to your channel and have stopped watching most "blue ribbon" trainers is that you always consider the whole horse and never automatically blame any issues you have with them first on their behavior. Horses don't think and reason and plot. They remember and they react. Thank you so much for being you. 73 yo lifelong horsewoman here, and have learned a whole world of excellent information from you.

      I am a non horse person but I have been watching Steve Young for a long time. I know that he has to rush during his sessions due to time constraints. I would be very interested in your opinion of his technique. Me and a couple of his other followers used to suggest to a particular rescue about how to use licks to help their farrier. But they really got their back up. The suggest made sense to me, but they didn't even consider it as far as I could see. Also, I've never seen another person use his theories about not wearing sunglasses and only looking at the horse's feet to keep things nonconfrontational. He only works with bad cases so maybe that's why people with only slightly fractious horses don't need to use his techniques? I really am interested in what you think about it. Thank you in advance.

      I watch his channel too and like it. I enjoy the way C.C. does her work which is longer in time duration. Steve Young is more emergency work or at an impasse where his work is a catalyst to help and quickly. Woking with horses is as much an art as anything.

    I think you made the right choice not to ride him right away. You've built a relationship with him before riding him. You let his body recover. Plus made sure he is healthy. Add to that too let him mentally recover from what had to be traumatic. He moved from a place he knew to an auction then transported to a complete stranger.

    I picked up a thrown away neglected small Appaloosa pony at age 20 . After rehab , my girls shown him lightly until he was 28 . He was fearless and could do anything. He was with me until he passed away at 43. I was going to pass on him but my 8 year old wore me down. I believe in 2nd chances .

I think you are making a difference for a lot of new horse owners, keep it up, it is wonderful that you focus on horse care and upkeep, rather than the riding part, I always spent many more hours brushing and hanging with my boys than I ever did riding them, your show is the only one that focuses on the hard work involved rather than the fun stuff.

Like you said, not a lot of people around giving a master class on horse care. I had one class on equine nutrition in college. Doesn't come close to what I'm learning from CC. I wish I knew these things back then. I could have done things differently and much better for my gelding, especially in his older years. It makes me sad somwtimes to think about some of these things I could have done for him so much better. Thank you a bunch CC.❤

    Many others have already said this, but for what my 2 cents are worth (not even 2 cents -- lol) you are obviously a knowledgeable and caring horse person, AND you bought Ziggy and have poured care and $$ into him and so it is up to you to decide when it is time to ride him. I wish every equine involved person would be even half as concerned and fair as you toward their horses -- the horses would live such better lives. You and Ziggy are adorable together; I love how much more lively he looked while you were riding him. He clearly has a work ethic and enjoys his job. Whatever decisions you end up making for Ziggy, he has already hit the jackpot of care and consideration becoming your horse, if only even for a couple of months.

    He's not evading capture, he's playing hard to get, LOL! Even tho he really wants you to catch him 🙂 Always best to wait and get to know each other before riding them, you are right to wait. He did great on the first ride. Don't we all ignore our aches and pains? Wait till your 67, like me 😆

    I love how you think Clever Cowgirl and totally agree with everything you say. You’ve taught me so much and I could not LOVE your channel anymore than I definitely do.
    As for Ziggy, as much as I’d love to see him stay with you and obviously be completely looked after for the rest of his life, I can also imagine him being, maybe a teenager’s very first horse. Somebody who has been having riding lessons for quite awhile, and would now love their very first horse. Somebody who can learn and grow with Ziggy and NEVER sell him, as he would be their heart horse. Just imagine the love he’d receive and the bond they would share.
    Anyway THANK YOU as always and yes please. I’m definitely interested in Ziggy’s costs so far.
    Let’s be honest, I’m interested in everything you’d like to share❤️

    I loved my Arabian. He was a kick in the pants to ride (in a good way), he saved a group of riders who were stuck in a quicksand area. We led them out on a long rein so he could sniff the ground. He was the first to sense cars on dirt roads, water ahead or other riders coming. He was an easy keeper. I rode dressage on a Warmblood, a thoroughbred over fences but my heart belongs to my Arab.

    I will be sad to see Ziggy sold - he is so happy with you, and you never know if future owners will be as good to him. It makes me wonder how many different owners and experiences of life he has had. I would really love to see him over with the other horses, and ideally I would love to see that lone brown horse under your care as well. But then I have always been happiest when all around me are happy. Especially animals. Thank you for sharing your daily life with us.

    I've been waiting for this! The people criticizing you must be the ones who have no patience, want to rush an animal along and get angry when they don't get instant perfection. What's the big hurry, anyway? The at-risk horses you save need time to get over whatever they left behind - trauma, being hauled and banged around at auctions, harsh handling, etc, transition into their new, wonderful lives, and learn to trust you. Ziggy may be a little "roly-poly"😄 but he looks great thanks to you. That gorgeous Arabian head and tail I just love him!😍❤❤

    CC, I learned to ride on bareback horses rather than with a saddle. So, when I began using a saddle, I was initially uncomfortable because I could no longer feel the horse's muscles and their movements. This way felt like I was in "tune" with my horse, and could predict what he was going to do. Although I did eventually use saddles, I preferred English ones rather than Western saddles, again for these reasons.
    Please do not feel like you need to justify to us, anything you do with your horses! I was around horses most of my life, but have learned more from you than I ever did in my many years as a rider! You are the very best "horse person" I've seen, and I've seen and watched plenty of them! Thank you for your vlog which is a quiet, calm, happy place to be the chaotic world today!

    Jepp, he definitely looks much better than the day you brought him home. I really do like him a lot. And btw, I absolutely love your characterisations of all of your horses. I think it is because you have seen a lot of horses living and working under a lot of circumstances so you have an idea of what their former life looked like. And I love how you take all of this into account when dealing with each horse.

    Gosh he's looking so much better, and he is definitely carrying himself like an arab now. I could just picture him being a lovely first horse for an early teen or tweenager.
    People talk about troubled teenagers addicted to their phones but a horse or a pet that requires responsibility helps mitigate in my opinion. Just something to think about
