- Aggressive horse needs help! Here is a 21 year old kids pony that has become aggressive with constantly pinned ears! wont allow his owners to pick up his feet and is getting difficult to tack up, see Steve try to get in the pony's mind and help all involved
I can sort of understand him wanting to look about. Shut in a dark stable, then going into an indoor arena. When does he gets to stand in the sunshine and doze, or sniff the breeze and do the galloping, bucking and farting thing that my ponies enjoy so much?
That farting and stuff ponies love so much! Lol. Donkeys too.

Yep, it's always a kindness to let a horse be a horse...
Pony will get to do that when he is trained and able to be part of the family. He doesn't know his "place" quite yet....
It’s my understanding that a horses stable is usually its safe place & that is why you hear of horses running into a burning barn. They try to go back to their safe place even during a fire, unfortunately.
Have seen this so often. Really good ponies who get passed from rider to rider because they get too small. Children aren’t always good on the ground. Ive seen some of them slap ponies round the face, dig them with hoof picks, etc. when they get angry. This poor chap, so good and honest under saddle, has probably had a couple of incidents like that. Parents can also do the wrong thing too. I’ve seen parents beating ponies at shows because they refused or threw the little darling who was yanking on their poor mouth or whatever. I do my best to intervene. This wee lad looked scared. So he has to defend himself. Thank goodness Steve was called. His kind but firm ways is what this rather lovely pretty old boy needed.
I don't have horses but man I'm addicted to your videos.wish we had that when I was a kid .I had a horse and didn't know anything about them. We were great. I miss that horse sometimes . You are amazing person and so kind
I love how he picks up his back feet before he’s asked. He’s been a stunning little guy in his younger days
he's still stunning beautiful welch mt pony I've raised a few foals separated from there mums when there rounding up 2 year olds, foals lose mum n run with the heard there not even counted in the sale if some one doesn't pull them from the herd they'll die they need mares milk, Cappie was our last very like this little guy but grey god she was super smart she played a game with my late husband, every evening he'd catch her from the field on the way from his train, every single evening they made that trip she'd put him in a muddy puddle, every day he say, i knew what she was thinking, i could see the puddle but she'd play up and do something to make him forget himself for half a second, n bam he'd be in the puddle, he loved it really but he couldn't get over how smart she was she had 4 diffrent puddles on the way home she'd always get him into one of em. He had 0 experience with any equine before me raising the foals.
Such a sweet pony. I don’t think he’s naughty at all.. poor baby he looked so scared in the beginning.
Splash says ,"Finally a human who knows what their doing. I know all this stuff, I was just waiting for you to start leading."
I love it when the owner of the problem horse actually listens to you without talking over you every 5 minutes. Smashing video as they all are. I have learnt such a lot and you know what? I don't even have a horse and haven't ridden for 30 years!!!
I feel so sad for the poor horse who got beaten with a brush, it must of devastated you seeing that. Your excellent at what you do steve you've helped horses and their owners get a better understanding of each other and it's lovely to watch how you communicate with the horses.
Beautiful pony, so glad you could help him realize not all humans want to hurt him. Kind of like, "oh this human speaks horse! Well, it's about time you show up!" Heartbreaking that anyone would hurt such a lovely boy.
Splash is very symmetrical in his leg colors and his coat. He is beautiful. I hope these young girls love him and treat him well in his older years.
He's a really stunning little cob! He looks pretty young as well. Hopefully he'll be able to have more time away from the stable and in a pasture! No way I would be able to tell his age with his spunk lol. He can be very sweet and very spicy hopefully more sweet now!💜💜💜
You guys are such lovely people with a beautiful property. I’d love to travel from the U.S. just to see a clinic at your place & meet you all in person.😊
Me too. Just wish
Same here, hopefully one day! 🙏🥰😁
Not only did you help with the pony, I think you helped create a horse woman. Wow, fantastic!
Thank goodness wifey isn’t shy about chatting as she is about being filmed. What a fine beautiful woman she is. You fortunate man. Thanks for all the good videos and to watch your lovely relationship … oh and the horse training.
It was great to see the change in this pony. Even better how the owner went forward with confidence & was able to pick up the feet & back him up etc 😍
Stay positive Natasha!! You can always call Steve if you need more help later! You did fantastic!! You did the right thing. Always ask for help if you don't know. You asked the right questions, got help, and more importantly, YOU LISTENED AND LEARNED !! Which is what every true horse person does daily. Leave your mind open to LEARNING and you can have the World, close your mind to LEARNING and you are back living in caves. I've worked with horses like Steve does for 50 + years, and I'm STILL LEARNING!! I'd love another lifetime to learn even more than what I do now. But I'm always asking questions to respected horsemen and women. And LISTENING to the answers. That way I LEARN even more everyday!! Stay Safe Everyone and stay confident Natasha!! I have every confidence in you!! Safe travels Steve and Tan!! Love from a trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Beautiful to hear your words! I too think Tasha is doing really well, learning so quickly! She does seem to have the advantage not to have to unlearn ineffective or bad habits, being new to horses.
I hope every person who wants to have anything to do with horses, or any other animals for that matter, will find awesome teachers such as Steve here, and Klaus Hempfling, and all their predecessors… as well as Fenrir doe dogs.
@@louisegogel7973 I train dogs and their handlers for both Police work and Search and Rescue work as well. My late husband and I were Recognized breeder and Trainers through the Canadian Kennel Club. He has since passed away. But I'm utilizing the skills of ex-military people who suffer from PTSD and are far along in their treatment that they want to become contributing members to society again. A lot have great dogs that love the "game" of finding something, so we are just transferring that "game" to finding people. And because the horses are around, many have gotten horses as well. Even with a prosthetic leg or one arm, they can still ride, and that surprises them. So now they are combining the training of the horse and the dog for Search and Rescue work. It's very satisfying to me to show them that PTSD doesn't have to rule your life and that you CAN make a difference in the life of a child or a person with dementia who has gotten lost in the woods. Stay Safe and have a great weekend!! Jenn. 💖 💖
That pony is ADORABLE 🥰 with proper leadership. Love him❤️❤️
That look & Tanya’s little chuckle 🤭 😂
Well done Tash ! Very hard when you're not horsey but you did the right thing asking for help xxxxxxx
🐴🤎🖤❤️🧡💛🤍🐴 Quick learner Tasha is… hasn’t learned any bad habits and is sponging everything up! I love it!
That update from her at the end is so wonderful, and affirming for my sense of Tasha!
Thank you soooo much Steve and Tanya!
I'm so glad that Natasha reached out to you! That pony deserves some good treatment. I am so sad at the beginning of this video when I think of how awful his life must have been to get him into such a sorry state. By the way, congratulations on your subscriber numbers climbing. You'll be at 100K before you know it!
This is a particularly good video for non-horse people who love horses! Seeing a beginner use these techniques IS helpful.
@@seanmueller556 🧡🐴🖤🐴💛🐴🤍🐴❤️🐴🤎
Wqqqwwtq
Amazing to see him so relaxed towards the end ❤️
The patience you show with the beginners, almost equals splash"s
Animals yearn to spend time outside, enjoying the sights, the smells , the tastes and sounds of the world!! It would be cruel to keep them from it! It is theirs, too!
I have a lot of hope for Natasha! She's already doing so well. : )
Totally agree, well done Natasha. Wonderful to see someone willing to learn and understand animal behaviour, as Steve does. Be kind and loving but assertive, so they know what to do. Exactly the same as with dogs, they need to know who the leader is.
I’ve been horse obsessed for over 50 years and your videos have boggled my mind. The way you are always zen master calm in some pretty tense situations, how you release pressure when the horse gives to the pressure so minimally it’s easy to miss (especially since I’m sixty and usually watching on the tiny I phone screen) and the patience and stamina you have to repeat the lesson as often as it takes to get the quality of response you need to quit at a good endpoint for the session. It’s also obvious how physically and mentally draining some of these sessions are. Please take care of yourself. Best regards to you and your family from the US. Your videos have been a welcome respite from pandemic pandemonium.
Been a real little gem of a child's pony for most of his 21yrs I think. Perhaps many years of being a lead rein pony has caused the shortness on the near side and the stiffness on the offside. He's 21! It's just my thoughts but what steve has done with this pony is revive his interest in a human and hopefully allow his owners to connect in a lovely way with him. He's a good pony and will continue to give for his empathetic owners I feel. Great stuff
Steve you remind me so much of my ADHD self, forgetting names and feeling such peace and calm/ability to be assertive around animals. I mean this in the absolute best of ways!
Poor pony looks so nervous, even through so much of Steve’s training. I think Steve’s absolutely right that the pony’s had some cruel treatment in the past. It took him a long time to trust that Steve wasn’t going to hurt him-once he knew what to do, he was trying SO hard to be good! Still motivated somewhat out of fear from his past I think. But he’ll keep relaxing with time now that Tasha has her confidence and knows how to communicate with him. I’m so glad you could help this family, Steve! And I’m so glad Tasha was willing to be filmed. I learn so much from watching regular people implement your training. So important to see what the first steps look like.
Haha..how awesome! He's got automatic feet now 😊 Another great video Steve! I love how you give both the horse and the owner so much more confidence. I also truly believe that all (most) horses need is leadership! It is how their brains work. In the herd or in the wild there is always atleast 1 horse who will be in charge of where they go where they eat n drink. The leader will always drink first n not allow others to come n drink until they're finished. They will chase other horses away from certain areas of feed etc. Horses just want to feel safe and that's what you give them Steve..a feeling of being safe. I've had some troubled OTTB's and have applied many of your principles and some others. They always respond incredibly well and end up being big puppy dogs who follow me everywhere 😂. I love to give these beautiful animals the gift of love trust respect and safety ❤
Hello from B.C Canada. Wow, how I wish I'd had these videos of your methods when I trained my horses. How much easier it would have been with quicker and better success. Sad to say, my horse days are over as I'm 79, however I never tire watching the videos.
At some point I noticed the markings on his legs, & said oh look at those little kneecaps! Beautiful! I used to ride ponies in the redwood forest when I was a kid w/ other girls & the ponies were rarely trained very well 😂a lot of being bucked off & scraped off by the pony veering under redwood tree branches at last minute until I learned to steer them otherwise! He’s probably thinking- woe it’s nice to work w/ someone who knows what he’s doing! Lol 😆
Goodness me! Whatever has happened to this wee beauty?! At least he's landed on his feet (or should I say hooves 🤔) with a caring owner like Natasha.
It was amazing to watch him transform before my eyes. Thanks so much for what you do and for sharing it too. For such long videos, they pass so very quickly! 😊
Flash really is in excellent shape for his age; I bet he was a real looker as a five-year-old. The morals I'm taking away from this video are: If your horse doesn't handle well from the ground--do more ground work, and whether you're on the ground or in the saddle, YOU have to be the boss. A nice boss, but definitely the boss. Anything else is really just not safe. Thanks for breaking down the body language of that! Very interesting video.
My Granddaughter and I love! to watch you so much. Steve. If you ever come to the U.S. we would love to see you both. You have helped us so much with our confidence and with our communication. No kidding! We observe the behavior we want to change, we discuss what we are seeing and we make a plan. We are both Special Education Teachers and work with children and their families with behavioral issues, so we are really in tune with how you approach your work. I know you look so tired some times, but know you are appreciated and we are so grateful for your videos.
Thank you, Steve, for how you give the horse love when he does a good job. I appreciate how you change both horses and their people's lives for the better. Keep up the good work.
Lovely little pony, and wonderful to see how knowledge and kindness have such positive results.
It’s amazing how incredibly accurate aim those ponies have with their feet. If kids aren’t aware it can be awful.
The horse is really listening. He's 21, do you think he is really bored? When does he get out to pasture? Does he play or run? Do you think the stable adds to its unhappiness? Cement, plywood, no color, no window...
Thankyou!! This was one of my favourite videos to date. I think Splash has had some pretty rough handling at some point.....it was obvious, as his anxiety level reduced, he was so much happier in himself. Natasha did SO well.....yes, she may be at the beginning of her horse journey, but she listened very well to you Steve and was clearly open to learn. Really nice how she took on board about just a brief, gentle touch or soft rub for the pony instead of hard neck slaps. Steve and Tan..enjoy your holiday! 🙂
Have you watched the two part on Pearl, tugs on the heart strings, then one on Reggie, recommend them both. 🥰
@Jennie Law - Agree 100% 🎯 🎯 🎯 Personally, I can't stand the harsh & hard claps on a horse's neck. I know the Rider is thinking that they're sending a "good boy/girl" message to their horse - but it's more like a hit. Think about how sensitive horses truly are. If they can feel a tiny fly land on them, then these 'slap/hits' are not nice & waaay too hard. A stroke or a very gentle scratch is a much kinder, smarter way to express "Good job!" to your horse.
@@mdee860 I watch a lot of equine eventing & showjumping, but have always wondered WHY we (humans) ever think/thought horses would regard vigorous slaps as being indicators of praise or affection! So glad I'm not the only one. (Not currently a horse owner or regular rider.)
I have the pleasure of watching Steve this past year working with horses and ponies and he is an amazing man. his calm demeanor and skill in teaching these beautiful animals how to listen to him and behave . this man is a legend!!
Looking forward to your videos. Love to see you "speak" to horses in language they can understand. I can almost see their gratitude for someone who finally makes sense to them.
Tanya you are an absolute sweetheart. I can tell you really care. Thank you for always trying your best on the videos! I think you two are adorable!
I agree, such a wonderful caring support Tanya is and the two are an awesome couple!
Giving a little old Fella' new life. Lovely!
Love hearing Tania's empathic responses to Splash's response. I'm saying 'aww, good boy' watching him, just as she is!
Me as well lol with earbuds so my kids are looking at me funny!
Just so lovely to see how much progress is made with a firm but gentle approach. Thank you so much 👍🏼
Thankyou for teaching the owners and horses and giving the horses a chance of a great life without getting hurt or hurting someone❤️🙏❤️
I've seen every posted video on this channel....amazing how the horses ALL respond positively to Steve's techniques!! Wonderful how Steve and Tanya are able to share these techniques to dramatically improve the relationships between the horses and their owners. Thanks for posting!
You said that exactly right. This little fellow seemed so eager to learn who the leader was. I just loved how he anticipated and lifted each foot. Go Steve. And kudos to Tanya for always getting a good presentation with her steady hand. I’m always rooting for a good outcome and little Flash is one of my favorites. I think that when Tasha gains more confidence everything will fall into place. Great video.
I love how you communicate with them in their language that they understand so well. Your videos are a thing of beauty.
A great video. Splash was a quick learner and a good boy. You made me hungry with your visit to the pub. Going to get my dinner now. Love from Queensland, Australia. 😊❤🙏🇦🇺🐨
Steve, you are so talented with horses. Keep helping them. They need your expertise. Wonderful job.
I love watching you guys. I'm from Canada, and I often try to find something new and informative to watch. You seem like such a wonderful couple. I love seeing how quickly he seems to gain a horses trust, I think and your wife is so good to do this with you. You make a great team!
I’m not even 20 minutes into the video but I have to tell you guys that I just love listening to you both talk as you travel and talk about your day. You seem like such a happy couple and your daughter must be very happy with you as her parents. I just enjoy so much watching you both help people with these wonderful animals who deserve to be treated with knowledge and understanding. Thank you both for teaching people what you have learned. 😊👍🐴
Are they just charming or what! I live in Washington State, don't own a horse, but just love coming on this channel. 💕
What a lovely and sensitive little beauty. First thing I noticed was how fit and nice he was. ❤️🇧🇻
You two are such a
joy to watch.
What a sweet little old chap is Splash. He’s been wanting a kind leader. Someone has mistreated him somehow so he’s felt defensive and insecure. What a relief he will have from now on. And what lucky kids will have a great time learning horsemanship from him and thanks to their smart, wonderful mum! You have given them all the tools for success!💚💚💚
I have OCD where you two are concerned. Tanya is a wonderful, empathetic and compassionate. Of course Steve has the knack and his aura transmits to other mammals. I love you guys. Wish there were more of you in the world.
What a lovely transformation!! Thank you for helping this sweet pony know his place and for teaching his lovely owner how to handle him! Everyone will be safer and happier because of it!! Great video!
Loved the video, Bon Voyage to both Steve and Tanya, really hope you enjoy your trip. Well earned holiday.
Thank you for giving these horses a better life while the owners enjoy their . I don’t do any riding now but absolutely enjoy watching your, methods and ways of tackling each horse and their problems. My uncle taught us to look at the feet of horses when working with any size horse. Now I know why🐴🥰🇦🇺
Thanks for all the work you do to bring us these videos. I really like the way you speak "horse". You a can almost see them look surprised at times. I find the videos very relaxing most of the time. Thanks, from western Massachusetts USA.
Nice… am north of you in Manchester, Vermont. Where is Mass?
He is a lovely little pony. I think someone has lashed him with something in his stall in his earlier life and he is exhibiting fear aggression around humans especially in his stall. These nervous sensitive types need a kind but firm leader so they can feel safe and secure in their enviroment which makes for a much happier pony.
Tasha is a remarkable woman. The children and pony are all very fortunate.
THIS PONY WAS AFRAID OF PEOPLE SEEMS TO ME ==YOU ARE SHOWING THIS PONY IT IS OK TO TRUST OTHERS AND HIS NEW OWNERS ==CANT BELIEVE HOW WELL YOU DUE STEVE I AM ALWAYS AMAZED FOR SURE AND SO HAPPY FOR OWNERS SO HAPPY ==GREAT JOB 💖💖
I don't even have horses and I love watching your videos. I noticed that Splash seemed to be a bit upset at your long flag at the start of the video, it made me wonder if he had seen some mistreatment in his life. I'm glad he is getting the love and attention that he deserves.
It was lovely seeing her confidence coming,,,,,your giving her the tools for her to use,,,,be nice to follow her and splash and see how they get on,,,enjoy your jolly,,,,,xxx
I had a section A mare who rode and drove. I got her at 15 and had her until she passed at 32. She was pretty sassy but never aggressive. I never rode her but drove her for pleasure and showing until I retired her at 28 due to some breathing problems. Welsh are great for multiple purpose kid and adult use.
Good job Natasha!! You are learning from an excellent teacher. Steve hope you and your lovely and bubble beautiful bride have a great trip.
p.s. That pub's food looked awesome! Made me hungry!😁
Hi Steve you are a miracle maker!You have improved so many lives … horses and owners !! It’s incredible how you can improve a horses behaviour …in a short amount of time too! Love your videos … so interesting!!
It amazes me how perceptive you are!!
Much love from Australia!!❤️
Awesome video! It is truly amazing the work you are doing with these horses. It is awesome what a little kindness and attention does for the horses you work with. I've never been around a horse or owned one, but really love watching you work!
Love seeing the countryside, and all the stores and stuff. Oh yeah, love your work. You're amazing but don't get a big head. Tan will keep you reined in. Blessings to you all.
😁😆 🐴💛🧡🤎🖤🤍
Steve you are just great at what you do with horses 🐎😊. Thank you for your time. Penny
I love these videos and his patience with these horses is brilliant..it's hard to get inside a horse's head of what it's thinking and you must have a special talent to do this.
Keep up the videos Gillian 😉
Not sure if anyone has already mentioned this, but it could be that Splash's occasional backing out when going back into his stable could be the light changes, from bright to outside to the darker inside. If he does stop just give him a sec to let his eyes re-adjust. Great vid as always guys xxx
I loved where you said you learned from watching your videos. I watch my own several times even after uploading and I always see things. Often mistake I didn't know I was making. I encourage all people to video themselves working with their horses. It's amazing what you will see.
Hi...Im watching this now...
Little Splash back in the stable....
Some horses don't like being too enclosed either...
So where you mentioned that he may have been mistreated in a stable....would not being able to see out not make him feel more trapped(& so become fearful and reactive).
Sadly,to be honest,some people try to control these beautiful, sensitive, large creatures with whips,ropes etc...
Some people shouldn't be near horses as they refuse to try to read them,they just try to dominate.
Its heartbreaking. I've even seen young ones( young riders) that way.( someone probably taught them that)...
He looks happier as he feels safer.
A joy to watch.
Thank you again..:-)
You two are my heroes, my mentors, and my dreams all in one. I feel so humble and blessed to witness your kindness as it transforms chaos into happiness. Love seeing the little towns. Bless you on your journey forward.
He seems utterly adorable! Talking about the equine here.....
Hello 👋 Karen from Canada 🇨🇦
Another great video Tanya and Steve!!! I received the red and blue training ropes with matching halters plus one of your bonging sticks the other day, thank you so much 😊
Just waiting for spring water to disappear so I may use them. The easy ties and flag I purchased previously have been fantastic!!!
Enjoy your trip out to Turkey 🐴
I so enjoy your lessons and the road trips nd accompanying maps. My maternal grandmother was from English parents and people around the London area: Lowndes, Hill. Taylor, Jay, Clark. It's very special to the friendly down-to-earth way you present your programs. Thank you
I just love you guys and your sweet relationship, just so sweet you two are!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Steve, I love that black zip jacket you’ve got on when you’re sitting in the “bird nest”:) Tanya is quite the looker, and all we ladies, I’m sure, think you’re the best. We love your humor, your horsemanship of course, and the way you bite your lips.☺️😘🥰☺️
I have just donated. I broke my back 10 years ago - burst fracture at T9 and surgery saved me. Simple accident walking on a long rein. Really interesting to hear the effect on family. Not something I think about or the impact that research funding could have.
So impressive with common sense but things that easily evade me because of bad patterns. Thank you so much for putting such good material up for us to learn from!!
It's 2 in the morning here in Melbourne. Excited to see your new video. Thank you. Did you just say Nutcracker😂
When I was a kid I had a pony with exactly the same colouring, similar size, too. It's a bit spooky 😀 so happy that Steve could help.
Great little cottage guest house I just love it I have a 100 yr old home with a view of the horses like that one in Oregon on the coast. Love your blog ❤️ I have Two mustangs my bieuty pony girls my life I hug them every day ❤️😘👍🐎🦄
Ponies are the best. And so smart!
He’s marked beautifully!
Love your cackling Tanya your the best part of the video!
What a cute pony. I hope all worked out!!
Steve, you did that young lady a world of good, you ole confidence builder you. I think you came close, if you didn't actually say it, that trainers of horses really have to train the people. I have high respect for you and your work. Keep it up. This is my "Atta, Boy".
I had a 17hh TB mare. She would follow us EVERYWHERE around the paddock!
When she first arrived as a 3 y o, she was TERRIFIED of people, took me 3 weeks to catch her.
I caught her using a wheelbarrow (picking up droppings) and ignoring her, changing direction, putting my back to her every time she came to have a closer look.
Eventually, she caught me, by sticking her shoulder in front of me, literally stopping me walking forwards!
We had the biggest "hello hug" and it was all over.
Except....
She learned other tricks.... Everytime I tried to LEAVE the paddock, she would know, and she would very skillfully catch the heel of my shoe with her toe, and pin my foot to the ground!
She NEVER caught any skin! It was very skillful.
She NEVER became aggressive, she was ALWAYS respectful, kind and gentle being ridden, lead around, playing games.
I'm just curious if you would have tried to eliminate her little quirks? Or just learned to wear heavier footware? :D
I must add, once she'd caught my heel, and made me stop dead in my tracks, she would immediately release.
I could ask her to back up, move forwards, sideways using voice, and/or the slightest hand gestures.
But on a warm sunny day she loved nothing better than laying down for a good back massage, or standing around having her mane played with!
Bless him he has been treated so bad. He senses your kindness and he shows the respect to you for your kindness. Be safe God Bless you and Charlotte.
I get so happy when I see a new video by u guys! Got to get my popcorn and settle in. Yay and thank you,
Hello from Arizona in the states. I don’t have a horse but enjoy every bit of your lessons. We have wild horses here that when lucky enough to find them (Salt River Horses) I just love watching them and now I’ll know more of what I’m seeing. ❤
Throughly enjoyed the video thank you. I love how caring of the horses and ponies you both are. Wonderful keep up the good work. Please 💕😀
Impeccable timing and respect
Another great transformation! Enjoy your vacation😊
He is so resigned in the end, when Steve looks at his face when kneeling along side and says what ya thinking. So sad.
I enjoyed the humor in this video, in addition to watching Steve work his magic with the pony.
Lovely story!! Blessings from the USA.
Thank you so much. You are amazing. Eileen
