Mr. T was just such an amazing horse! His understanding, finesse, and respect for you! One in a million for sure! Much respect for you Rick, and Mr. T. I honestly think if you were a horse, it would be much like your Tanner! 🖤🤎🖤👨🏼🌾🐴
Good old Mr T, he was a wonderful teacher. You could always rely on him to dish out some horsey wisdom. I like that you talked about how horses don't care about the huggy and kissy stuff. We can train horses to accept it, and I think they even come to understand what we intend by it (i.e. that we are showing our love and reassurance). But we are deluding ourselves if we think they enjoy it.
ANY interaction with Rick, Buddy, Mr T, Mokey, Stevie, Mama Rabbit, the “stray dogs” or roadside stops to visit critters is just magical! He’s just someone who understands animals & how they think. It’s absolutely breathtaking to watch him communicate w/the boys💜
I like listening to you explain horse language. Like when you hit the rope and he flinched, and then you explained everything. I hope I'll be able to remember all this when I start trying to have horses. It's one thing to sit on RUclips and listen, but it's another when you're actually standing in front of the animal. I guess that's probably when everything will make sense.
In Polish language there are actually two words which distinguish exactly what kind of "respect" it is, the one which requires a bit of fear and the other connected to ones wisdom, old age etc. Having an English equivalents would save you lots of time here, lol! Great video, and now I'm shutting up and starting to watch & learn more.
I just want to thank you for all your time you give to teach us about horses and how to think like them. I want a horse someday, but I know I'm definitely not ready to own one. I have so much to learn and I'm so glad I found your channel! Everything you say makes so much sense, so I don't get why people give you so much crap. Thanks!
I don't really give a shit what you like. I don't like people making BS comments about their feelings, this is not your pink couch for counseling or for sharing how you feel. Save that for your barn drama buddies. Don't hit play and don't come back, pretty simple - even for you.
Good learning video thank you!!!!! I truly wish I could own a horse and really it would not be fair for a horse due to the fact I don't have time to devote to a horse. In order for me to feel as I was not being a bad owner I would have to devote time every day and I just do not have that much time in my life right now. I refuse to be one of those people who only works with a horse on the weekends. That's a no brainer for me. And that's not to mention I could not afford all the vet bills and everything else that goes with it financially. I wish I could own actually two horses but unfortunately right now I can't. So I will continue to watch your videos and enjoy and learn from them. Thank you Mr.T, Buddy and of course Rick. Have a good day guys. Ron.....
I correct my dog seriously a couple times, then its done. Then she gets a lot more freedom because I know she will listen if a situation arises. I'm still working on the horse thing though, minute 7:30 to 40 or so, is me. thanks for the great videos.
I agree totally I have a pitbull who is definitely my dog she tolerates everyone but she won't listen to them. my fiance can tell her something and she ignores him. if I give her a command she does it immediately it's lack of respect for everyone else. she loves them but she knows they won't make her listen.
Thank you for the Part 1 and Part 2- Sending vs Squeeze with two very different horse personalities. Tanner is a high horse and he respects direction. Buddy is not a high horse. He expects you to take care of him.
I'm so thankful for your instructions. I was given my appaloosa from birth. I'm green, he's green. He will be 2 on may 9th. Without your information I would have messed this boy up! Lol!! Moon Shadow is so well behaved because of your instructions. Thank you just doesn't seem to say enough.
Sending a horse-sqeeze a horse pressure and read 2011 part 1... good 👍 talk Rick.. Oooo lol like your list of things people use.. arrr i don't use any items.. so i must be doing ok. But if my boy is not listening by me asking to pick up hoof.. normal checks i send him away.. off rope halter like you did in this recording.. he ends up doing circles around me until i ask him to stand.. i had him 10 yrs.. i have not had to do any thing else ..
Rick, You are an amazing natural horseman, I liked the way you train them with confidence and ease and in a practical and simple way without the bs of horsewhisperers. I get a kick when you crack jokes on how people do things even though I will not do that. I would like to stress a point that if people can see above the jokes that you make and follow your advice very carefully they can learn a lot and can give a good life to their horses and enjoy the ride.
Love the videos. I'm trying to go through all your videos from the beginning. I've only watched your videos from the past year. I wonder, do you ever look back on one of your old videos and realized you've changed your method a bit?
I followed a herd of horses on the salt river for 3 month's camping and moving with I watched had some interaction with them . I saw all of what you are talking about and I understand a little better what they are doing. I have 2 stud horses . We have a better working a relationship than the peaple who have geldings or mares. Because I have taken time to learn what they are saying. Thank you for your love of horses and all your videos. We're almost ready to head for cdt trail .new Mexico to montana on horseback.
Wow. Mr. T is one stunning horse. Great info as always. Question....the few times I've been on a horse, I was a little nervous (now I feel bad for those horses, I was clueless) and when I'm nervous and alone I tend to talk a lot. So I talked to the horses while riding, just random nothingness, no commands or anything they needed to know. Now that I've been watching your videos, looking back, I'm guessing I was confusing the crap out of the poor horses? It's better to just sit/ride quietly (even if I'm not nervous)? Thx Rick! Good boy Mr T
Can someone tell me what word does Rick used at 21minutes of his video when is talking about M. T and asking people to turn the sound off if they want? Cause I'll have to found the french translation since I don't know that word. Sounds like "hunking" or something like that... thanks..
People interfering at barns are the reason i wont ride other peoples horses and i rarely ride my own horses around other people. I have no need to and i got sick of their interferance. They live on about 13 acres with 3 other horses in a huge field where we have a good 6 acres either side of us thats private and no one else comes. Funnily enough since i stopped doing things around 98% of people ive not had a stupid accident or had to go to hospital for a horse related incident. Everyone i know who had their horses alone is injured less than people of similar experience levels that keep their horse at certain yards and barns.
That’s interesting I’ve always preferred riding alone since I got my own because I can focus on him more and I’ve never been seriously hurt at least not yet despite me doing an assortment of really dumb stuff
Colleen E I realize it’s been 6 months but in case you’re still wondering, it’s his BLM (Bureau of Land Management) Mustang freeze brand. It is a set unique symbols that can be deciphered to detail Mr. T’s birth year, sex, markings, color, etc. All wild horses and burros captured on public land by the BLM are given these brands. Best regards...
@YummyTangerine7 horses teach you more than anyone once you listin and spend time with them and i think rick would say the same thing cause i saw all his videos :) which it made me know rick more than my friends
Im sincerely novice to this so please be easy on my ignorance. How do I punish or in better words teach my horse to respect/fear me? Do I just hit him or something?
Humans have to learn to be a fair leader. I think the hardest things for a human to learn is to get rid of their ego and fear. Being the Boss equals being abusive. You can not teach Feel. Either someone has it or they don't. Some may understand it in time, if they are a rounded enough different horses and are really listening to the horse. People need the training not the horse.
@horseawareness Thanks! Now I know what to look for. I'll find it one day! *laugh* I'm on your website and videos almost each day for about a month and I think I've seen maybe what, a quarter of it?! There is so many infos, I haven't seen another website even close to that amount of information yet, it's really something...
at 17:28 mr t, starts to take tiny little baby steps, trying to avoid running over you,being respectful towards you as not tryting to run over ya. am i wrong thinking that.
I just got my first horse and the main issue I've had with her is that people from the past babied her and my family baby her. With me, she's starting to respect me (sorry, I prefer the term respect xD) but it's a slow process as I'm still learning too. Anyway, would it interfere with me and her working together if my parents only ever harass her by scratching her and cuddling her and squaring off on her and genuinely not knowing what to do except for that?
Rick never said abuse a horse, it's the same concept as parenting. I have never abused my son. I give him clear guidelines but he knows if he ever hits me mom is going to put a boot in his ass. Is he going to get mad and want to hit me yes I am sure but fear of what will happen if he ever puts his hands on me stops him.
love mister t, ba barakus, the tough guy with a big heart. love your mister t too, very handsome fellow, I call my hubby mr t, since he is my mister t. anyway, enough of that! lol
Rick, I love this video for a lot of reasons, but especially your example of the abused girlfriend whose boyfriend is going to jail because he beat her, and says he beat her cuz he loves her, and then she tells him she loves him too! Haha, that's so sad yet funny, too, the way you tell it OMGosh LOL!
+PrototypeMusic You better definitely wear a helmet, I can tell you only one or two brain cells so you better protect them, are you really that stupid or do you just play that way on RUclips? Get on your broom and fly out of here. People that too stupid to just shut their mouth only show they can't learn. I wish I could hit stupid people since they scare me..
I like the comment, but please shut the hell up and keep your advice to yourself, IF I want it I will ask if you CAN'T CONTROL YOUR MOUTH because you are a woman, feel free to fly out of here on the same broom you flew in on.
Think Like A Horse to put it in plain English you need to be the alpha horse Rick you're very good with your patience and training skills with these magnificent animals the horses are a lot smarter then some of the individuals you met in your previous profession
Mr. T was just such an amazing horse! His understanding, finesse, and respect for you! One in a million for sure! Much respect for you Rick, and Mr. T.
I honestly think if you were a horse, it would be much like your Tanner!
🖤🤎🖤👨🏼🌾🐴
Your gorgeous n wise Mr T ..Your spirit lives on ...THANK YOU
Your a Good Boy Mr T... . Love you 💜😊 🐴🐎

This might just be the most useful video about horsemanship I've seen so far. Thanks!

Did u ever get a horse?
Following these videos are awesome because it develops a mute language and better understanding between people and their horses.
In Polish language there are actually two words which distinguish exactly what kind of "respect" it is, the one which requires a bit of fear and the other connected to ones wisdom, old age etc. Having an English equivalents would save you lots of time here, lol!
Great video, and now I'm shutting up and starting to watch & learn more.
I wish the ladies at my barn would just watch your videos instead of telling me what I should be doing.
I just want to thank you for all your time you give to teach us about horses and how to think like them. I want a horse someday, but I know I'm definitely not ready to own one. I have so much to learn and I'm so glad I found your channel! Everything you say makes so much sense, so I don't get why people give you so much crap. Thanks!
Important: "It's not personal. It's not ego." Listen people.
Mr. T is such a handsome horse. Thanks for the lessons.
I don't really give a shit what you like. I don't like people making BS comments about their feelings, this is not your pink couch for counseling or for sharing how you feel. Save that for your barn drama buddies. Don't hit play and don't come back, pretty simple - even for you.

4/18/23 love these old videos of Mr. T ❤❤❤❤❤
I correct my dog seriously a couple times, then its done. Then she gets a lot more freedom because I know she will listen if a situation arises. I'm still working on the horse thing though, minute 7:30 to 40 or so, is me. thanks for the great videos.

I always look at my self first and ask what did I do wrong if I'm getting the wrong answer from the horse, more people need to do the same.
Fantastic video. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge so we/I can learn more about horses
Wow I hear so much birds where you live. So beautiful!!
IT was funny when mr. t's ears were up when that MR. T voice speaker y were playing
Thank you for the Part 1 and Part 2- Sending vs Squeeze with two very different horse personalities. Tanner is a high horse and he respects direction. Buddy is not a high horse. He expects you to take care of him.
I'm so thankful for your instructions. I was given my appaloosa from birth. I'm green, he's green. He will be 2 on may 9th. Without your information I would have messed this boy up! Lol!! Moon Shadow is so well behaved because of your instructions. Thank you just doesn't seem to say enough.

Sending a horse-sqeeze a horse pressure and read 2011 part 1... good 👍 talk Rick..
Oooo lol like your list of things people use.. arrr i don't use any items.. so i must be doing ok. But if my boy is not listening by me asking to pick up hoof.. normal checks i send him away.. off rope halter like you did in this recording.. he ends up doing circles around me until i ask him to stand.. i had him 10 yrs.. i have not had to do any thing else ..
I love you Mr. Rick Gore! Keep the videos coming....
Rick,
You are an amazing natural horseman, I liked the way you train them with confidence and ease and in a practical and simple way without the bs of horsewhisperers.

I would like to stress a point that if people can see above the jokes that you make and follow your advice very carefully they can learn a lot and can give a good life to their horses and enjoy the ride.
Thank you Rick.
I am not a horse person, but this is miraculous.
You and Mr. T were an awesome team. You and Buddy…a comedy team. I’m looking for the video on how a person pins their ears to a horse.
Well see all you need is this one special hat… 😜😂
your videos are great
Love the videos. I'm trying to go through all your videos from the beginning. I've only watched your videos from the past year. I wonder, do you ever look back on one of your old videos and realized you've changed your method a bit?
This is a very good video
@beckybobo5 : I am saying HONKING and I explain in many videos and on my web site.
I followed a herd of horses on the salt river for 3 month's camping and moving with I watched had some interaction with them .

Good boy Mr T
Do you know what you were going to say about not always having a rope?
Good ol midder T💛
Great video.
this vid is so refreshing!!!! thanks!!
This was a very good video. I get it.
Hey Rick I would like to have a horse but l like have somebody to train me first .I think that should come first . I like you Rick
Im going to send this video to all my dog related friends. The same applies to dog training.
Oh my God yes we need to talk it's really funny
Can someone tell me what word does Rick used at 21minutes of his video when is talking about M. T and asking people to turn the sound off if they want? Cause I'll have to found the french translation since I don't know that word. Sounds like "hunking" or something like that... thanks..
How many horses do you own is it just the two?
What does the "T" in Mr. T stand for?
Montana, Tanner, big t, Mr. T
People interfering at barns are the reason i wont ride other peoples horses and i rarely ride my own horses around other people. I have no need to and i got sick of their interferance. They live on about 13 acres with 3 other horses in a huge field where we have a good 6 acres either side of us thats private and no one else comes.

Would love to work with you anytime
Just out of total curiosity. How did Mr. t get his brand on his neck? I was just wondering.
Colleen E I realize it’s been 6 months but in case you’re still wondering, it’s his BLM (Bureau of Land Management) Mustang freeze brand. It is a set unique symbols that can be deciphered to detail Mr. T’s birth year, sex, markings, color, etc. All wild horses and burros captured on public land by the BLM are given these brands.

Could you do a video a little more into depth on getting a horse to deal with its fears?
he says i know that normally if i run into you i will normally get corrected
we have to work on getting you a Go Pro 😉

Fer sher...
@YummyTangerine7 horses teach you more than anyone once you listin and spend time with them and i think rick would say the same thing cause i saw all his videos :) which it made me know rick more than my friends
Love that your aren't politically correct! Thanks for your videos.
Love this.
Im sincerely novice to this so please be easy on my ignorance. How do I punish or in better words teach my horse to respect/fear me? Do I just hit him or something?
Watch more videos.

Mr T (Love him) xx
Rick, I love this video for a lot of reasons, but especially your example of the abused girlfriend whose boyfriend is going to jail because he beat her, and says he beat her cuz he loves her, and then she tells him she loves him too! Haha, that's so sad yet funny, too, the way you tell it OMGosh LOL!
Mr t was so big back then

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
👌🐴❤️
Pity da fool!!!!
I pity the fool telling Rick to stop cracking on women!!!!! LOL!!!!
It's funny u pick on women haha ur teaching them a lesson X buddy and mr T are really stunning
So basically you are saying that it's OK to hit horses so that they start fearing you... nice...
+PrototypeMusic
You better definitely wear a helmet, I can tell you only one or two brain cells so you better protect them, are you really that stupid or do you just play that way on RUclips? Get on your broom and fly out of here. People that too stupid to just shut their mouth only show they can't learn. I wish I could hit stupid people since they scare me..
I like the lessons but please go straight to the point and stop picking on women!
I like the comment, but please shut the hell up and keep your advice to yourself, IF I want it I will ask if you CAN'T CONTROL YOUR MOUTH because you are a woman, feel free to fly out of here on the same broom you flew in on.
