You are one of the few horsemen I find a pleasure to watch work a horse. I think the horse I have now is the last one I'll ever start due to age and health problems but you never know. I usually make sure I can use a rope anywhere on a horse before I tack him up or get on his back for the first time. It was something I learned when I was in my late twenties from a guy named Terry who was a lot older than I was. It sure makes a difference once you get the hang of it.
Thank you for this video! I have a 9 yo Paint Gelding that is normally a nice enough guy but he does get fractious once in a while and really broncs out. I have done a lot of longeing with him and several different exercises to get his brain back when this happens. This is one more tool I would like to try to desensitize him. He is 16.2 and my daughter is afraid to ride him since he bucked her off. I love your videos because you're not always trying to sell something.
Ryan you have an amazing insight into horse psychology that is very practical. It makes what you do look easy and the results come quickly. I have noticed that your methods that derive from your understanding of how a horse thinks and responds to release results in the horse becoming eager to follow you and work with you. That is priceless. In no time the horse is bonding with you and wants your leadership. I wish I had been able to learn your tactics years ago.
I don't even own a horse.....(have always loved them though).......and I've been binging your videos for hours!! You are such a knowledgeable horseman!
I always enjoy watching your videos & learning from you. You're an excellent teacher & one of my favorite horsemen to watch. You break it down so well & explain in a way that makes so much sense. Thank you for what you do for us humans & the horses 🐎
Thanks for watching! For more training videos and to get your questions answered about you and your horse please join my patreon page www.patreon.com/ryanrosehorsemanship
Thank you for the video. My horse has been bucking me off, on and off for 11 years. Had on and off again trainers and most didn't know what they were doing. When I even get my saddle out he's trying to get out of the round pen. He turns away from the saddle and walks away looking back worried. This has been on going for years now and no clue what's going on. Your video sheds a little light on his mind set. If I attempt to work on his " bad side" he'll block me with his head and move his hind feet to avoid me. I don't know how he ever developed the hate for the saddle but I can't trust him any more to ride. I'm afraid to ride me. He knows that pasture better then I do yet will find any reason to spook just to get me off. I'm to old to kiss dirt. When he just see's the saddle why does he walk away? With out the saddle present he's fine. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
after watching this video, I realized my pony is totally claustrophobic. I have done these exercises before but It's been awhile I think i will do them again!
You did something interesting when you tightened your cinch and pulled the tail of your latigo behind your fender? Is there somewhere you have a video for that? I’d love to se what is happening under the fender and why. Thanks so much loving your stuff!!!!! Joining Patreon very soon!!!
is there a different way to do that rope technique for a none professional? or different ways to do steady pressure exercises for a horse that bucks with the saddle on? I hope that makes sense haha
One thing that gets out of state hunters in trouble when they come to Montana to hunt: ALtitude affects horses the same way it affects humans. You Trailer horses al the way from 650 feet above sea level in WIsconsin all the way to montana, roll up on the trailhead at 8000 feet, tack up and head up the trail to 9500 feet. Horses feel they they are not getting enough oxygen and subject to the same kinds of anxiety humans feel. You get up the trail and your horse balks, you thump them with your heels and a horse you ride all the time in WI without trouble will go to bucking.
WHat is the medical thing about horses and left versus right. Most Horses I have worked on were better going left than right. FOlklore says it's the way their eyes are wired..your thoughts?
It is much safer if riders are realistic. If you work your horse a bit before riding, and let him warm up both without and with saddle, he will get his bucks out at liberty, before the rider is on.
It is a primal instinct in horses to evade creatures (like humans) that have both eyes on the FRONT of their face. That's where the eyes of a predator are locate. also know that they have very sensitive noses. Your breath, to the horse, SMELLS like meat you have eaten. even if was yesterday that you ate it.
@@arribaficationwineho32 It is never the horse's fault. It is human caused. Inadequate ground work, too much directed pressure applied on the ground, pulling on the reins causing excessive pain in the mouth from the bit while in the saddle, and many many more possibilities. Correct yourself, and you will correct the horse.
When I approach with the saddle, he's stage left. If I can catch him and saddle him it's a bucking fest everything. I've had him since 2011. The problem started about 6 years ago and I have no clue why. No health issues. Just hates the saddle
I assume your goal is for the horse to be saddled and just cruise along without the initial worry and tightness. The question that was not answered is whether or not the rope work helped him be closer to that goal the next day, and even closer on day 3? Or did you have to repeat the rope work each day before saddling? In other words, did the horse learn from the rope work and carried that learning in subsequent sessions? If not, there is not a lot of point to the rope work as a means to solving the worry about the saddle (but there maybe other benefits to other aspects of his work).
So, your thought is that if you do the rope work once, the horse should understand the lesson and you will never have to repeat it? Wouldn't that be great if it really worked that way...
@@krisslewis2367 no. Obviously the behaviour is ingrained and habitual in the horse, so repetition would be required. But if the rope work is effective, there should be a diminishing of the behaviour with each saddling. The video does not show an improvement - either on the day or in subsequent days. So we have no idea if it was an effective approach or not for that horse. It would seem obvious that would be an important question to answer.
@@RossJacobs So do you think triggering a claustrophobic feeling in other areas does or does not help with this issue? Do you just want to see a follow up video to hold this trainer accountable to his word or prove your own point that "there's not a lot of point to rope work..." At some point yes the horse still needs to be saddled and deal with that directly as is shown in this short training session. If you were only looking at the physical aspect of the work the problem wasn't completely solved in 20 minutes. But if the mental capacity to get from a tight reactive response and a relaxed response is shortened or eliminated by essentially cross training the mental and physical processes by other means - including rope work - then I would argue that yes there would be a point to it.
@@jessicalittle1959 it's simple. Ryan Rose filmed this video to demonstrate an approach he believes will help the horse overcome the saddling issue. But we didn't see the horse improve. We don't know if the rope work helped or not. I suggest perhaps he could have added a series at the end of the video showing follow up work with the rope and the obvious improvement in the horse at day 1, day 2 day 3, etc. What is the point of showing an approach to solving a problem without us seeing that the method solved the problem? How is this complicated or difficult or unreasonable? After watching the video I am left not knowing whether the rope work was a good idea or not. If I made a video claiming that the saddle problem would be solved if I spoke French to my horse, you would want to see the evidence that speaking French fixed the problem.
@@RossJacobs I disagree that we didn't see the horse improve. After watching this free 20 minute video I have some great tools that I could use to help my own horses to build confidence. I also saw that particular horse fight less and have a big release while he was saddled. That's quite a bit for 20 minutes. But I'm sure if you need more training insight and follow up videos you could sign up with his Patreon page or go to one of his clinics for some instant feedback. It's such a wonderful opportunity for those willing to learn to have instant access to so many horsemen and women for free via the RUclips platform. But I don't come on here expecting someones life's work and depth knowledge to be completely given away.
Ryan you are advancing natural horsemanship with your complete understanding and ability. Thank you. Enjoying your work so much.
Thank you!
Guemes Island in Puget Sound?
Sweet little gelding 😁
Dr. Rose diagnosing & helping horses be better horses.
Great job explaining & thanks for sharing!
😀 thanks
Such a smart setup and principle behind this technique. Thank you for letting us watch this session!
Thank you
What a lovely, willing horse. Great demonstration.

He's very pretty with a nice lope. You do amazing work with these troubled horses. Great work!
Thank you, You break it down to where it totally makes good and clear sense 👍🏻
Great demonstration! Thank you!!
😀👍
You are a joy to watch and listen to! That said, this is dangerous/disaster in the wrong setup/scenario. Keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you
Excellent video, lots of key points 😊
😀✅ thank you
Great job, perfectly explained, Ryan 👌🏼🙋🏼♂️

Yes, good analogy! Chess game. Seen all good people/horses…………. Thank you again Ryan for breaking it down!
Another helpful video...thank you, God's peace ✌
Thanks
Good explanations!
Thanks
Thanks Ryan I wish I had this video 40 years ago it would have kept me from getting Lucky.

“I don’t want things to get too western here” haha I gotta remember to use that one 😂

Love the video. It works quite effectively on teens as well. Just sayin.

Claustrophobia is what my little gelding struggles with
Yeah, this will help
Good work. It also seems horse is not limber in hind quarters, maybe stifles or hip need to be checked on back area.
WHat is the medical thing about horses and left versus right. Most Horses I have worked on were better going left than right. FOlklore says it's the way their eyes are wired..your thoughts?
Hola 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦💋💋🐴👏👏👏👍
why do you think they react more at the canter?
It is much safer if riders are realistic. If you work your horse a bit before riding, and let him warm up both without and with saddle, he will get his bucks out at liberty, before the rider is on.

Yikes
'Why does my horse buck every time I saddle him?' Because you taught him to buck. Think about it.
How did I do that? Not snarking, asking

Some horses during birth tear a rib or dislocate one as their grow it doesn’t also align its self! When cinched up this set off a nerve reaction!!!
So small it’s a poney!

An oasis of emotional fear or prior past trauma? 🤔
The tail switching does not mean a relaxed horse
Love your tutorial but I feel the camera is too far away to see all your little tips
Feeling afraid and stuck. 🤔
Just leaving a saddle on is Flooding not training.
Horse thinking the worst 🤔
He looks to me that he has some hip pain...
Panic attack. 🤔
