I can't imagine that horse surviving 15 years with such anxiety and frustration that no one was seriously injured horse or human. Thanks to you, Steve. This horse has a chance of living a better life. I do wonder, Steve, if you have thought of doing a training school/mentorship program for future trainers. There is only one Steve Young. It is evident that the equine world is in desperate need of trainers such as you. Happy trails to you and your loved ones.
Steve, this is the best video we didn’t see!! Honestly, your story telling was superb. I didn’t know what to expect, but my heart was racing when he lost the plot and started attacking the wall. Then when you said you touched him on the forehead and he lowered his head, I started to cry. What a story. That horse had his life changed that day and he will probably never forget you. All I can say is someone needs to make a movie about you! Well done mate!!❤
I had lots of tears at that point too. What a great descriptive story of a powerful change for good, especially for that poor horse. What a relief for all. I'm so glad they had a wonderful groom who understood the new process. Thanks a million, Steve, for saving lives, horse and human. ❤❤❤
I couldn't agree with you more, steve & Tanya you're both amazing caring people. Steve the world is a better place for the horse & its owners with you, but there's only one Steve young, it would be hugely beneficial to both horses and owners if you trained people your memethods. The world is z better place for horses with people like you, Monty Robert's etc in it. Thsnk you for everything you do for horses I'm do humbly grateful to you. ❤
The camera on top is not the best view. As an amateur, I would have missed so much needed training . I felt you may have been so restricted but still accomplished wonders!!!
That has made me so emotional you have saved that horse from the torture it was enduring every day of its life because he was misunderstood. Thank heaven those involved with him were open to change. Just goes to show it's never a horse problem it's a people problem. ❤❤
That poor horse!! So much anger, frustration and being misunderstood for 15 years! When all he needed was a show of good leadership. No handfeeding and a different place to be worked on. Well done, Steve!! I hope the owner keeps up all this work. I know that groom will for sure! It makes his life so much easier! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, 💖 🇨🇦
What a good horse to deflect his frustration to the walls, though..... Poor soul, the minute I saw those bite marks on the wall, It was easy to see how deeply frustrated he was.
As a former groom and stable worker, I appreciate very much how you were including and listening to the groom. Big shoutout to him, as well! This makes me so happy.
Around the part where the horse was gnashing the wall again, no halter on; I was ready to say these owners need to invest in an animal communicator to figure out what it is that is creating this anger and frustration in him. But then you worked your magic once again and freed this poor animal's mind enough to find peace. You are an absolute Godsend Steve. We all learn from these videos (your storytelling was excellent, although I would have loved to witness this one) As another person commented, there is only one Steve Young, and the horse world needs hundreds and hundreds. WOULD you mentor young trainers? You and I are the same age, so unfortunately we're closer to the end than the beginning. When I go, it won't matter. But when you go, the future horses of the world will have lost their best chance at being both well behaved AND comfortably at peace within themselves and with their humans. Even without the video this was one of the most incredible cases you've dealt with on the channel. Tears in my eyes, of compassion and joy for that horse!!
OMG! When you got to the part of touching its forehead my tears 😭 ❤🐴 Mr Steve you understand the psychology of this majestic animal…Thank you! Your storytelling is absolutely superb. Cheers! To you, Tanya, Charlotte and Dan, bless you All🇨🇦
A beautiful story that a horse has come to peace in his life. Thank you Steve. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Oh god, Steve… to hear you tell the story instead of watching it all happened…. And then when you talked to the end about how he had started to scrape his teeth against the block wall again, in frustration after you worked with him…. And then how you calmed him….and then touched his forehead and he dropped his head… how he has suffered all these years because there has been no appropriate leadership until you came… the tears are rolling down my cheek cheeks… everyone was so fortunate that day to have you come…. The owners and that horse!!!! ❤❤❤
@@louisegogel7973 It was terribly dishonest and unfair and in my opinion unethical. Why didn't they say anything about the cameras right away? Do they have something to hide? Disgusting behavior
thank god for you Steve, sounds like the owners and everyone around that horse treats it like a robot and not an individual. 15 yrs of being misunderstood, shouted at and treated like a robot. i cannot believe they seem to be still riding it in that state! i bet you were a breath of fresh air for this big lad.
Didn’t need the video. Have been watching you for yonks. I could visualise the whole thing because of your excellent storytelling ability. Such a positive, happy outcome. 😊 ❤
such a shame it couldn't be shared with us so we had a visual experience too.sounds like the owner was a big part of the problem.thank you for releasing this horse from all his pent up emotions that he didn't know how to handle.
Animals {dogs as well as horses} reflect who their owners are a lot of the time. Horrible shouty owner with aggression, a cross tied horse... no wonder he was so deeply frustrated. He is probably used as a tool, rather than being worked with as a partner.
Beautifully explained Steve feel so sorry for the horse that hasn't had his needs met for 15 years... I hope he will be very happy now.. it's amazing how just changing a few small things can help.
Glad you told us the story even though you didn't have a video. I had tears in my eyes when the horse finally gave up attacking the wall and just dropped his head down in surrender and relief as you comforted him. At least that's how I saw it in my mind. You told him with your kindness and persistence that he was alright and didn't need to be putting up a fight anymore. He can finally relax and feel peace.
Yes .the way we make them ..feel ..in our presence ... So important to a horse .. since I follow Steve Young ,that is what I am striving to acheive every time I am in contact with my horses or any horse ... Rachel
Who needs a video with your amazing description of everything that happened during your visit! After watching your training videos for 10 months now I can picture exactly what happened by your incredible narration!!! Another horse lucky enough to have met you!!! God bless you for sharing your knowledge!!!
That's so wonderful you gave that horse a safe space in a world that he didn't understand and now he can understand and have a much better life. Thank you so much for the work you do and share here.
You are a really good storyteller! I was there with you, and really nice to hear about what's going on for you and the relationship with the horse when you work together.
Finally, the leadership, love, and the right language for this horse. And getting the groomer on board!! Hopefully, anybody touching this horse will watch THEIR video of this session. We all saw it thru your expert storytelling. BRAVO Steve!!!
You describing what you did for this horse was absolutely fascinating. I really felt I was there, seeing what you and they were experiencing and could really picture the scene. One of your best. I hope this horse, it's owners and groom have a lovely, peaceful relationship from now on.
That's a miracle Steve! My mom had a OTTB stud. He was kept in an open paddock. Everything was OK, till he was put in a stall. Then he started attacking my mom. But she hand fed and wanted her stud to give her kisses. He never attacked me, but I never hand fed him or allowed him to come into my space. It's the little things we take for granted that make a huge difference. thank you Steve for sharing this story.
Amazing story. That poor horse. Those poor brave people, trying over and over. What a terrible locked up mess. Thank goodness you were able to explain to both on how to stop the endless cycle, and that they were able to change so quickly.
I was skeptical when you said no video footage, but I am so happy I stayed! That story was great. Thank you for sharing it, even without the footage, it was well worth the watch. You're a great storyteller too.
I didn’t need a video. You told the story so vividly, I could see it in my mind’s eye, and I was (also) crying at the end. The world needs more beautiful people like you. Thank you.
The horse needed a leader in its life, someone to take charge and show him the way. Thank goodness these people found you Steve, so you could help bring happiness into the horse’s life and peace to the people around it.
Quite a masterful way of relaying your experience with that horse. After watching your videos, it's easy to imagine just what you we saying. Thank you.
You did an outstanding job describing the situations in this horse's beginning, middle and end behaviors. I would have loved to see it being filmed, but I could completely understand your vision of what was going on. Bravo!
Wow! This one brought me to tears. It felt almost spiritual. Kind leadership offering guidance and boundaries sounds so simple, but so desperately needed. Thank you Steve AKA Buddha. 😊
Steve, you are such an example of common sense, compassion, knowledge and patience. That poor horse. The history that the neddy had suffered of frustration and pain. Of course everything had to change. Probably oated up to the max for performance, feeling angry and scared. I would have put him in a different stable, tied him up (I hate crossties), fed him in a different place. Anything to break history. Add bravery to your list of skills. It was a great story, well told. My admiration for you has risen again, when I didn’t think it was possible. You are truly remarkable.
That groom is the one that sponged up the details and he will never forget! Imagine being in such a prediciment at ypur job where you dont know what to do to save ypur own life. Ha. Wow. Great storytelling btw😊
Thank you Steve and Tanya, for all your love and care of these beautiful animals, and of their owners. I’m not a horsey person at all, but you have such a great attitude that I’m hooked on these videos. Keep up the good work. ❤❤
Steve, it was an amazing story. I am in tears, what a blessing you are & Tan of course. It would have been great to see it but you explained it so well. Thank you thank you on behalf of our beautiful horses xxx
This brought me to tears Steve. What you did for that horse was rescue on a soul level. Listening to this story should be mandatory for all horse owners ❤
Thank god for that horse and the owners that you came to help them. That horse was trying to tell them and they just didn't get it for so many years. So glad it all worked out and the horse and owners have peace between them.
I think maybe the owners are on a healing journey in themselves, one that allows their fears to be transformed into understanding instead of anger, one that is probably deeply healing for their own lives from way way back.
I have tears in my eyes hearing about when you went back to the stable and he was panicked and then settled….and more tears to the follow-up. I’m sure you saved his life because they were headed down a one-way street with this horse. You told the story brilliantly and because we know your techniques and methods, I could picture it easily. What an incredible and moving story! I hope they keep up the good work with him and he can have a more peaceful life….and so can the people. Well done Steve!!!!!! 👏 👏 👏
We lived the situation & the circumstances through you. Humbled by the resilience & generosity of horses -- that give humans a chance to change. I would think that 14 or 15 years would be hopeless; but you've educated us about a horse's brain & how they think. I feel I would interact with horses with respect, as I would expect respect of my own space. ♡ Great memories of the latest successful U.S. visit
I wish they’d been a video that was probably something to be seen. This just made me cry that poor horse. I was thinking maybe he’s just trying to dig a hole through the wall so he can escape. I know that’s not what it is but it’s just so odd. I am glad you reached him and that he softened to you. It’s sad to think how he could’ve gotten to that state.
This is my second time listening to this story and it gave me as strong a reaction as the first time. Really with you in the telling and welled up with tears when he dropped his head and you followed him down …. So nice. ❤
Amazing story! Thank you so much for describing all the details so clearly and sharing it with us! For those of us that have been watching your videos we can visualize it perfectly. 🤩💗
Great story!! Wonderful results that warms my heart. I actually almost broke down in tears. So many folks are just downright lucky that they have a horse that doesn’t need much in the way of horse knowledge and skill. When things get complicated they just don’t have a clue what to do. Horses are not for everyone.
Great work! As usual !! I definitely would feel a certain way about not being told about the cctv while at the same time refusing to let me film my own work. Seems very odd to me. Well done again!! Looking forward to the next video!!
Maybe the key word is WITH? I suspect most of the issues we face with other beings has a big piece inside ourselves to resolve or understand and come to peace with. I hope this perspective helps. I wish you a beautiful journey with your horse.
@@Paulusia1111 Oh dear, I wasn’t saying it to correct you in any way! I was thinking how wonderful that you used the word “with”. I was thinking of how so many journeys are ones where each one is part of the healing. I’m sorry it sounded off somehow. I was just excited about the “with” because it means you think of yourself as well as your horse on this journey.
Wow ! Yes indeed, very much with you Steve (and Tanya). This was very emotional, and so glad for the horse you went to help - he will have such a different life.
did they take the sunglasses off? i can’t imagine living my whole life with ear plugs and sunglasses. A horse must rely on senses so much and it might create such anxiety. Thank you for the work you do❤️
😢Steve you made me weep for this horse....15years of being so sad and afraid to let his guard down. So hope the owners are able to transfer your teaching to this horse and the world can only be so much better for this horse and his all carers. Wonderful job thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad you were there to hold that horse’s Hoof and help him . This literally brought me to tears. I was asked to help with a similar horse back in the day and it’s a moment I will never forget. Thank you Steve ❤
Your storytelling was Spot On! I could picture Everything and it brought me Right in the Moment! I've said before, one of the most useful things I have learned from you is the soft touch of acceptance Just One of the things, there are so Many! I'll bet Tanya might have needed a drink after watching you face down the horse and get charged several times in close quarters Hats Off to you Steve!! ❤️🐎❤️
Courage, courage, courage! For that poor horse to have lived in torture and terror until you found the doors that let light, peace and calm into his poor mind, is nothing more than a miracle. I’m exhausted & relieved your incredible story has thus far had a blessed happy ending… please let this poor creature feel trust and friendship in his human owners, using the tools you has so expertly given them. You are so so brave, thankyou.
I know for a fact it has made that grooms life a lot easier! Just moving the place he was worked on, not making him feel claustrophobic, was a big take away for me. Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
So true Jennifer .. just changing the tying station made a huge difference for the horse's inner reactions, so much bad ..feeling...were linked to the cross ties .. Steve Young is a true master of reading a horse's behaviors , an amazing horseman he is ...Rachel
I almost cried when you said the horse had come over to you in the stable and gave you his head. This is an amazing story. Thank you for all you do for people and their horses 🐎
What an amazing visit you had. Tanya must have been terrified that you would be hurt and I am relieved to hear that you remained safe. I picked up from your story that you had a real heart connection with this particular horse and could feel how he was feeling. Also, that the horse felt the same connection with you, realised that you were trying to communicate with him and would be the one to trust to make his life better with firm kindness. I was so happy to hear that handling is going better with this horse and that the groom has benefited from seeing a technique that shows mutual respect between human and horse. In my mind this is life changing for this horse and probably you have saved its life over the long term and also saved someone getting badly injured. I hope you continue to get positive future feedback, also that you will one day see this horse again and be able to judge for yourself that the horse is no longer living a life of fear and stress. With the signage displayed around the stables I am surprised that you were not asked if you minded being filmed.
Well done fella ! You see things from the horses point of view and see what is frustrating and frightening them and change horses lives. God bless you.
When he attacked the wall I just broke down crying. This poor horse. He was living in a nightmare. You have saved that horse Steve. He will know what peace of mind feels like. That is brilliant.
Steve, You were godsent for him. His relief is the greatest gift of his life. I will NEVER handfeed again, if the result is imprisoning a horse soul to the depths of hell. Thank you for that lesson. 🧡🇨🇦
Wow! Such a disturbing story. Massive congratulations on making such a monumental change in that horse’s life and, hopefully, the handlers can keep it up.👏🏻🇦🇺👏🏻
I sincerely hope so as well. This poor animal has had years of trying to tell them and ended up full of frustration. It is any wonder they didn't have him put down through miss understanding. God bless them for finally reaching out to someone like Steve to help their horse that was actually in need for having his owners retrained. Love to you Steve and to you as well Tanya for allowing him to take on this daunting challenge.
Well done Steve good commentary. I know this one meant a lot to you, And the way you explained it I live every moment with you. Glad to see things worked out.
Absolutely perfect story teller. We were there, with you, the entire time. So proud to like and subscribe to such a fine, intelligent individual as yourself and your wife. Thank you. Hugs and blessings.
Story time with Steve ❤ I've taught the basics of horsemanship to quite a few people and I can honesty say the most difficult part is getting people to see things differently and change. So many believe the horse is the problem when most of the time it's the people changing their behavior that then allows the horse to change, too.
Steve, even without video this is RIVETING! Without the visuals, your process & explanation is front & center. I learned so much from this, even after watching your videos for a couple of years now. Understanding IS communication. There is nothing more important or precious in this world to any creature, than feeling seen & understood. But you have to cut through the distraction first, to be heard (firming up.) Then once you can get attention you can begin the communication part. Your way of working tells the horse, you SEE & UNDERSTAND their frustration &/or pain/fear and go about creating an all NEW scenario of working TOGETHER. A clean slate built of understanding & kindness (no fear.) It's just like dealing with a panicking person: you get them to focus first, allay their fear & only then move on together. Power trumps force every time! Amazing to hear you describe your process without the visuals!
Steve, I literally saw the horse's eyes and ears and him stepping back in surprise! ❤😊 You are a wonderful storyteller! I definitely was going through or with you! Poor horsey, I hope for a different life for all of them now! Great job! ❤
Yes we were with you Steve, you saved that beautiful horse 🐎 just goes to show rich or poor horses don't care, just as long as their understood. You explained it so well ❤we didn't need a video ❤
Steve, I have nothing to do with horses but I always tune in to your videos. I could have cried for this poor animal. It was if he had PTSD. I could have cried for all you explained to the people around this horse. His biting the wall, is telling you he doesn't know hOw to cope. I find these explanations can be used even around people who have an inabiltY to express themselves properly. Bless you.
Not sure if y’all will actually read this but I have been binge watching your videos for a few days now, and of course I’m amazed. One main crucial behavior of Steve’s that I’ve noticed in each session is he remains calm and steady no matter what! Thank y’all so much❤❤
THANK you for all your posts! You, Sir, are a wonderful story teller. Honestly.👍 It's always a blesing to see & hear about all the horses & people you train and give relief to!👍♥️
I can't imagine that horse surviving 15 years with such anxiety and frustration that no one was seriously injured horse or human. Thanks to you, Steve. This horse has a chance of living a better life. I do wonder, Steve, if you have thought of doing a training school/mentorship program for future trainers. There is only one Steve Young.

That was beautiful Steve. No way I missed the footage. That said, I think the fact they filmed you without you knowing was beyond rude...
It was indeed to me a breach of trust and I hope they release the footage to Steve so he can help others with the visuals too.
And as always Steve was gracious and generous in describing the owners.
@@louisegogel7973 It was terribly dishonest and unfair and in my opinion unethical. Why didn't they say anything about the cameras right away? Do they have something to hide? Disgusting behavior
With biting the wall, the horse may resent being hand fed anyway!
What a wonderful story, Steve. Thanks for sharing even without a video. You no doubt saved this horse. ❤

Amazing, I am so glad you worked with him. His life has improved 1000%. Now he has a healthy relationship with people ❤
The horse needed a leader in its life, someone to take charge and show him the way. Thank goodness these people found you Steve, so you could help bring happiness into the horse’s life and peace to the people around it.

Keep up the good work. ❤❤

Steve that was an excellent story of a very scary experience for you. You got across to this horse, to me that's Magic.
This brought me to tears Steve. What you did for that horse was rescue on a soul level. Listening to this story should be mandatory for all horse owners ❤
Thank god for that horse and the owners that you came to help them. That horse was trying to tell them and they just didn't get it for so many years. So glad it all worked out and the horse and owners have peace between them.
I think maybe the owners are on a healing journey in themselves, one that allows their fears to be transformed into understanding instead of anger, one that is probably deeply healing for their own lives from way way back.
I have tears in my eyes hearing about when you went back to the stable and he was panicked and then settled….and more tears to the follow-up. I’m sure you saved his life because they were headed down a one-way street with this horse. You told the story brilliantly and because we know your techniques and methods, I could picture it easily. What an incredible and moving story! I hope they keep up the good work with him and he can have a more peaceful life….and so can the people. Well done Steve!!!!!! 👏 👏 👏
We lived the situation & the circumstances through you. Humbled by the resilience & generosity of horses -- that give humans a chance to change. I would think that 14 or 15 years would be hopeless; but you've educated us about a horse's brain & how they think.
I feel I would interact with horses with respect, as I would expect respect of my own space.
♡ Great memories of the latest successful U.S. visit
I wish they’d been a video that was probably something to be seen. This just made me cry that poor horse. I was thinking maybe he’s just trying to dig a hole through the wall so he can escape. I know that’s not what it is but it’s just so odd. I am glad you reached him and that he softened to you. It’s sad to think how he could’ve gotten to that state.
Well done. I thought I would end up not watching but I was enthralled to the end.
Poor horse, thank goodness you were there to help.
This is my second time listening to this story and it gave me as strong a reaction as the first time. Really with you in the telling and welled up with tears when he dropped his head and you followed him down …. So nice. ❤
That was a fantastic story. I really learned a lot. I'm glad you could help that horse.🎉
Amazing story! Thank you so much for describing all the details so clearly and sharing it with us! For those of us that have been watching your videos we can visualize it perfectly. 🤩💗
Thank heavens you saved that horse, Steve. Your story is amazing!
Great story!! Wonderful results that warms my heart. I actually almost broke down in tears. So many folks are just downright lucky that they have a horse that doesn’t need much in the way of horse knowledge and skill. When things get complicated they just don’t have a clue what to do. Horses are not for everyone.
Great work! As usual !!
I definitely would feel a certain way about not being told about the cctv while at the same time refusing to let me film my own work. Seems very odd to me.
Well done again!!
Looking forward to the next video!!
It was a huge red flag to me too!
I’m thinking they were worried about their reputation and didn’t want this information about what had been going on to get out to the public.
That’s an incredible story it almost brought me to tears. I strive to have a breakthrough like this with my horse one day.
Maybe the key word is WITH? I suspect most of the issues we face with other beings has a big piece inside ourselves to resolve or understand and come to peace with.
I hope this perspective helps. I wish you a beautiful journey with your horse.
@ how else was I supposed to phrase it to make you happy?
@@Paulusia1111 Oh dear, I wasn’t saying it to correct you in any way! I was thinking how wonderful that you used the word “with”. I was thinking of how so many journeys are ones where each one is part of the healing. I’m sorry it sounded off somehow. I was just excited about the “with” because it means you think of yourself as well as your horse on this journey.
A fresh pair of eyes can make or break a situation. But your intuition is strong and you trust it.!! Excellent work as usual. Thank you for sharing.
Wow ! Yes indeed, very much with you Steve (and Tanya). This was very emotional, and so glad for the horse you went to help - he will have such a different life.
did they take the sunglasses off? i can’t imagine living my whole life with ear plugs and sunglasses. A horse must rely on senses so much and it might create such anxiety. Thank you for the work you do❤️
Amazing story. Thank you. The poor horse.
😢Steve you made me weep for this horse....15years of being so sad and afraid to let his guard down. So hope the owners are able to transfer your teaching to this horse and the world can only be so much better for this horse and his all carers. Wonderful job thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad you were there to hold that horse’s Hoof and help him . This literally brought me to tears. I was asked to help with a similar horse back in the day and it’s a moment I will never forget. Thank you Steve ❤
Your storytelling was Spot On! I could picture Everything and it brought me Right in the Moment!
I've said before, one of the most useful things I have learned from you is the soft touch of acceptance
Just One of the things, there are so Many!
I'll bet Tanya might have needed a drink after watching you face down the horse and get charged several times in close quarters
Hats Off to you Steve!! ❤️🐎❤️
Thank you, Tanya, for being the support for Steve. Your wondrous spirit raises ours, too. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Courage, courage, courage! For that poor horse to have lived in torture and terror until you found the doors that let light, peace and calm into his poor mind, is nothing more than a miracle. I’m exhausted & relieved your incredible story has thus far had a blessed happy ending… please let this poor creature feel trust and friendship in his human owners, using the tools you has so expertly given them. You are so so brave, thankyou.
I know for a fact it has made that grooms life a lot easier! Just moving the place he was worked on, not making him feel claustrophobic, was a big take away for me. Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
So true Jennifer .. just changing the tying station made a huge difference for the horse's inner reactions, so much bad ..feeling...were linked to the cross ties .. Steve Young is a true master of reading a horse's behaviors , an amazing horseman he is ...Rachel
YOU ARE SO RIGHT,. IT WAS INDEED A MIRACLEXX
This made me cry that poor horse hope he can have a happier life now
I almost cried when you said the horse had come over to you in the stable and gave you his head. This is an amazing story. Thank you for all you do for people and their horses 🐎
You've saved that horse steve❤
What an amazing visit you had. Tanya must have been terrified that you would be hurt and I am relieved to hear that you remained safe. I picked up from your story that you had a real heart connection with this particular horse and could feel how he was feeling. Also, that the horse felt the same connection with you, realised that you were trying to communicate with him and would be the one to trust to make his life better with firm kindness. I was so happy to hear that handling is going better with this horse and that the groom has benefited from seeing a technique that shows mutual respect between human and horse. In my mind this is life changing for this horse and probably you have saved its life over the long term and also saved someone getting badly injured.
I hope you continue to get positive future feedback, also that you will one day see this horse again and be able to judge for yourself that the horse is no longer living a life of fear and stress.
With the signage displayed around the stables I am surprised that you were not asked if you minded being filmed.
Well done fella ! You see things from the horses point of view and see what is frustrating and frightening them and change horses lives. God bless you.
So sad that horse had to live 15 years in that situation. You do amazing work!
You were that horses guardian angel 🙏🙏🙏
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT XX
When he attacked the wall I just broke down crying. This poor horse. He was living in a nightmare. You have saved that horse Steve. He will know what peace of mind feels like. That is brilliant.
Steve, You were godsent for him. His relief is the greatest gift of his life. I will NEVER handfeed again, if the result is imprisoning a horse soul to the depths of hell. Thank you for that lesson.
🧡🇨🇦
WELL DONE YOU FOR CHANGING YOUR OWN BEHAVIOUR. XXX
As always you done great
Wow! Such a disturbing story. Massive congratulations on making such a monumental change in that horse’s life and, hopefully, the handlers can keep it up.👏🏻🇦🇺👏🏻
I sincerely hope so as well. This poor animal has had years of trying to tell them and ended up full of frustration. It is any wonder they didn't have him put down through miss understanding. God bless them for finally reaching out to someone like Steve to help their horse that was actually in need for having his owners retrained. Love to you Steve and to you as well Tanya for allowing him to take on this daunting challenge.
Well done Steve good commentary. I know this one meant a lot to you, And the way you explained it I live every moment with you. Glad to see things worked out.
Listening while I pick up manure in the yard. Great story. Thank you for sharing even without the video.
I want to cry!!!! Bless You Steve
Absolutely perfect story teller. We were there, with you, the entire time. So proud to like and subscribe to such a fine, intelligent individual as yourself and your wife. Thank you. Hugs and blessings.
Story time with Steve ❤
I've taught the basics of horsemanship to quite a few people and I can honesty say the most difficult part is getting people to see things differently and change.
So many believe the horse is the problem when most of the time it's the people changing their behavior that then allows the horse to change, too.
Steve, even without video this is RIVETING! Without the visuals, your process & explanation is front & center. I learned so much from this, even after watching your videos for a couple of years now. Understanding IS communication. There is nothing more important or precious in this world to any creature, than feeling seen & understood. But you have to cut through the distraction first, to be heard (firming up.) Then once you can get attention you can begin the communication part. Your way of working tells the horse, you SEE & UNDERSTAND their frustration &/or pain/fear and go about creating an all NEW scenario of working TOGETHER. A clean slate built of understanding & kindness (no fear.) It's just like dealing with a panicking person: you get them to focus first, allay their fear & only then move on together. Power trumps force every time! Amazing to hear you describe your process without the visuals!
Brilliant, as always
whatched till the end . amazing well done ,and that poor horses .
Fantastic job Steve - I'm smiling away at the great outcome!
Steve, I literally saw the horse's eyes and ears and him stepping back in surprise! ❤😊 You are a wonderful storyteller! I definitely was going through or with you! Poor horsey, I hope for a different life for all of them now! Great job! ❤
Steve is one of the greatest horsemen I've ever had the pleasure of watching. From America, we love and appreciate you and your wife.
Well done Steve, very well done!
Yes we were with you Steve, you saved that beautiful horse 🐎 just goes to show rich or poor horses don't care, just as long as their understood. You explained it so well ❤we didn't need a video ❤
Steve, I have nothing to do with horses but I always tune in to your videos. I could have cried for this poor animal. It was if he had PTSD. I could have cried for all you explained to the people around this horse. His biting the wall, is telling you he doesn't know hOw to cope. I find these explanations can be used even around people who have an inabiltY to express themselves properly. Bless you.
Not sure if y’all will actually read this but I have been binge watching your videos for a few days now, and of course I’m amazed. One main crucial behavior of Steve’s that I’ve noticed in each session is he remains calm and steady no matter what! Thank y’all so much❤❤
So worth hearing you talk about it. Yes we want video, but just hearing it is still great! thx
I was in tears for this horse and the owners. You did so much for good for all involved . Great story with a wonderful happy ending. Happy Christmas.
Yes, misunderstood. ❤
THANK you for all your posts!
You, Sir, are a wonderful story teller. Honestly.👍
It's always a blesing to see & hear about all the horses & people you train and give relief to!👍♥️
Consistency in approach. Man! Horses are not humans we have to change. Caramba! Well Done.
GREAT story Steve, soooo happy you were able to help this horse and the owners. I hope things work out for the best for them🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
