I absolutely love this lady, It's SO rare to find someone who doesn't blame it on the horse ! Talking about her injury after explaining what happened she immediately clarifies "but it was completely my fault". Then when Steve points out how the palomino pushed her around, she doesn't blame it on the horse or find excuses, she points out how the horse respects Steve but not her and that it's because she isn't consistent enough but hadn't noticed before. I wish more horse riders and owners were like this there would be less troubled horses around the world.
What a gorgeous horse. He seems to have a good mind. Looks like horse and rider need solid repeated practice until the lovely owner feels good and confident. Especially as we get older, many of us tend to feel a bit more fragile or vulnerable with such a powerful animal. I speak from experience - my own and a number of people I know or have worked with. And as usual, Steve, you exhibit such patience and kindness along with the firmness required to teach your client. It's not an easy balance but you do it so well! And I have to agree, smiling always helps. 😊💜
“Tell him how good he is, and ‘How good you are.’” I love your assertive tenderness with both horse and human, Steve. Thank you, as always, for sharing such valuable work.
The hardest thing I had to learn from Steve's videos was no eye contact and less fussing I was 100% guilty of going in to my horses kissing hugging and talking the ears off them 🤦😅 but now I get my greatest pleasure from knowing I have their respect (well most of the time) love the Steve and Tanya show 🐎🙌
That’s awesome that you are shifting and finding the shifting so positive. I wonder how long it will take for your friends a d neighbors who might have horses to notice and question why!
Can we all applaud this darling positive couple! Such a wonderful team; Steve's gift of horsemanship, and the continued positive comments, acknowledgement he gives Tanya, compliments her success on her slimming journey. Love how they can have a good laugh, with her guidance on upcoming videos, capturing the followers' interest on the next outing. Their success is a reflection of pure compassion they have for the clients, their safety with the horses... never shout/ raise your voice, stay calm, lead, affirm, correct, rest, repeat..Thank you for sharing all your talents. Truly a dynamic gifted team with a beautiful family.
I wish I'd had access to these lessons in horsemanship 40yrs ago. Then it was a slap up the chest and yelling like a sargent major 'stand still!!'. This is so much more of a 2-way conversation. Most cobs seem to ' run through' there owners. The pre-groundwork routines do seem to work. ( Now all I need is a new horse buddie to try it out on!). Another great video. Thank you! x
Thanks Steve and Tanya for all your hard work while I sit here and enjoy every moment watching these beautiful horses get transformed into calm and contented souls. 🥰,Sharon.
Awesome video. He is a gorgeous horse. Fantastic temperament. Love how Steve's knowledge of horses is helping so many horse owners both new and seasoned people. Thank you Steve and Tanya.
Steve and Tanya you two make every horse as beautiful as ever. ❤ I’ve been “binge” watching and I keep wanting to see more. I’ve been admiring all of the horses but especially CHEVY and ANITA. This Palemino is wonderful ❤.
Yes Nancy....I've loved horses all my life and always thought that a good firm pat on the neck would mean "well done, good job" It seems obvious now that it's been highlighted.... horses don't slap each other down the neck to show affection or, any other emotion.....it's an utterly alien sensation to them. A gentle stroke or good scratch in itchy places will reassure and comfort, just how a mare would tell her baby "all is ok and you are safe with me" Stroke, rub or gently scratch unless the horse leans in and tells you they want more 😍🤗
This video answered so many questions I have about leading. I also like the leading and driving exercise in the round pen. I can’t wait to work on this with my horse. Thank you for sharing! 💕
First off all huge thanks to Fi, Steve and Tanya for this session. . At 55:38 is the best leading vs driving explanation I've seen. I am a visual learner so this was perfect ❤
Hello 👋 Karen from Canada 🇨🇦 Another fantastic video!!! Steve your voice of guidance is always in my head while I am with my two horses. I have come a long way, but still a long way to go. I love when you break a motion down into steps for us to better understand what to do makes the world of difference. For example how you described where to stand and where to apply pressure when teaching a horse to walk around us instead of into us, plus the corrections to help in communication for the horse to better understand is fabulous. Thank you Tanya for your patience filming everything for us, plus Charlotte, James ànd Dan, thank you for all your contributions as well. Cheers!!! 🐎
British Horsemanship will be forever changed because of the gift you give these horses and their owners I truly believe this.......what a gift you gave them.......And he is a stunning horse
HI Steve, one of your least dramatic but most helpful videos IMO. It seems when you're dealing with a horse that's very frightened or angry, your routine focuses mostly on lateral flexion (head), head lowering, disengaging in a small space and ultimately the lead/drive exercise. That seems to be enough to make a big change in the seriously troubled horses. But in this case, the horse isn't frightened, isn't angry or mean, is well-trained. He mostly just needs to be reminded who moves who and to stay out of the owner's space. Next level stuff for a horse that's basically stable. So you did a number of more subtle exercises with him which I really loved. Thanks so much for the video.
Stunning Big Boy! Horses are so incredibly smart... and here's one reason why: Imagine if you (human) met a stranger & was suddenly led into a round pen - with a halter on, so basically no escape. Next, we are supposed to do whatever the "stranger" tells us to do, EXCEPT - we don't speak their language! 😱😖 Now - the stranger expects us to execute their instructions in a timely manner, all the while having ropes pulled or shaken (that are attached to our halter) &/or noisy flags being whipped near us! It boggles my mind that in 3 or 4 attempts - most horses actually figure out what is wanted! That's what I call smart!
Very good information, I can tell you this stuff really works , I have a now 4 year old that was really walking all over me , since I have been working with her using Steve's methods I can tell you I have a new horse, this stuff really works!
What I've learned most from your videos is: with horses either you're in complete control or you're not. The fight or flight reflex makes it of paramount importance as any small move can spell disaster. Comfort in horses is with someone else in leader role, making decisions for them. Thanks for all you do!
Hi Steve! We're from the USA! You have such great style and grace. We like your no-nonsense style and you really respect and know horses. You always get great results.
What a BEAUTIFUL HORSE! Steve you are AMAZING, how you are so able to read the slightest movement and read what the horse is thinking is AMAZING!!! You are equally so sensitive to the owner's feelings and reinforce positive instruction and vibes! LOVE YOUR WORK and ASTOUNDING RESULTS! GOD BLESS you and Tanya and your wonderful family!
As alwasy, Icreally enjoyed this video. It is good to see that it‘s worth working on those small things before they become too big, like the little pushing and us leaning away. I am learning a lot by watching you, thank you for sharing your work. And thanks to Tanya behind the camera!
What a beautiful horse! Intelligent, learns quickly. Steve you are a star! I hope this lady feels more confident and safe with this horse. He probably picked up on her nervousness. But I understand her worries, older people feel more vulnerable of course, with regards to falls, etc. Well done! Great horse!
Having my own new horse, also rather up, well trained on the left and nothing asked of her on the right. this is exactly what I need to establish leadership and trust. she also has the same tendencies, and I look forward to getting further on mutual trust
Dear Steve and Tanya, I’ve watched so many of your videos and this one is great as well. Thank you for sharing it. It helps me a lot with my own horse, who is also seaking for guidance, which I sometimes cannot give him. From the Netherlands a lot of greatings and good luck to you and all the horses and owners you help and have helped so far!
Wow, he is absolutely beautiful. Definitely a gem. I'm really happy with this learning experience. It was an excellent opportunity to see the slight movements to look for that you should respond to immediately. I was more blown away than ever by the speed in which you picked up on the beginning of a movement and responded instantly. Awe inspiring really.
First dappled palomino I've ever seen! Absolutely beautiful!! I've been away from horses for many years now, having begun at the age of 10yrs. After totally enjoying your videos and methods I'm tempted to order one of everything you use, find a lonely horse somewhere and start working! Luckily, at now 62yrs, thank goodness the fence would put a stop to that behavior for me.Ha! ha! But seriously, I really wish I had learned all of this when I really needed it years ago. At 10yrs and 4ft nothing, it really never occurred to me to understand things from the view of the horse being a prey animal. But of course now it all makes SO much sense. Thank you from Canada for your teaching and kind methods!!😘
37:21 omg i just love sooo much the way he stands there with legs spread in four sides, like his embracing the power of the earth at the moment, soo peaceful and relaxed, its just like magic, i just cant help being mesmerized!!! Ure a wizard, Steve!! Love you sooo much
Lovely little dappled Cob that looks like he will be just the right size for his new rider and with your help to insure that they develop a good relationship with each other right from the beginning, they really look like a great pair. I wish that more riders would get a little extra professional help when they get a new horse. It could prevent any poor habits from getting started. After all, people are paying for a horse that is a polite and pleasant ride and they need help from the very beginning to become really confident about their ability to help the horse retain the good habits that attracted the rider in the first place.
Another great video. Beautiful cob,love his dappled,lovily horse. Hope the lady has many yrs with him,hope she gets to keep him. You and Tanya are amazing as usual. Love and hugs to you both.
Another great and informative video Steve!! Thank you for sharing!! Love from a Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖🇨🇦🇬🇧
Very nice, Steve - and what a joy to be able to hear everything so well! Yes, Fe has a great horse there in Crunchy - if I was Crunchy I'd be feeling a bit out of sorts having lost my home and not sure what was gong to happen next. I've often wondered how horses cope with being moved from pillar to post - after all, being a herd animal they must know their herd & be secure within it, so it's bound to be upsetting losing that security. Steve shows how important leadership & trust is to a horse and how we have to be safe & confident in that role. Look forward to seeing Fe and Crunchy happily getting along in a future video. Cheers, Mate! Well worth the watch - even my dog was glue for a bit in the round ring!
Another great video! She’s amazing at her age doing what she’s doing. She’s in great shape and I hope he turns out to be a great horse for her. You’ve given her the steps to follow. Good work!
Good afternoon from NZ. ' horseless kiwi ', who is so in awe of your talents Steve. Adore the way these horses come round to your way of thinking and what a stunning looking one at that !!! Tell Nita, she's still number one and Tania may I say you're brilliant at the videos. Can't wait for Spain now. Thank you so much.❤🙏👍😀😀
Yet another brilliant video Steve and Tanya. Steve, you make it look so easy. I understand it's critical as to the timing with whatever aids one is using ... goes to show that even if you have a well trained horse, if the ground work (or halter broke as I think you've referred to before) has not been done adequately, there may still be issues ... It's the absolute necessity for earning a horse's respect. Thanks again for the great video.
He’s a lovely rocking horse. He started to get it and I think he liked it. By having someone in charge it makes his life easier. Just think about choosing a night out. It’s so nice if someone else arranges it for a change and you don’t have to think about anything ( most married women will know what I’m talking about)😊
I have to tell you Steve & Tania... I purchased a 65" Samsung Q7 Television & at my young age of 63 I just learned how to stream my RUclips channels to my Huge TV & get to watch you both on a Fantastic High Definition TV & really enjoying watching ... Thank you both & your Beautiful Family THANK YOU for sharing such Fun & Educational Vlogs... Hugs & Blessings Always... GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💙🤗✝️
He is a gorgeous horse and this was another great video. I can understand why he would concerned about what was going on, considering all the changes he had been through. We sometimes forget that animals get anxious about that kind of stuff just like we do. I can see why she loves him. He is trying hard to please when he figures out what it is you are asking of him.
I’m from America but I love you …. You are such an inspiration. I wish I owned a horse…but I’m 74 years old and I think my time for riding a beautiful horse is pretty much done…. I’m reLly afraid of horses… How sad is that….New Jersey is my home…. I literally love you! So handsome and smart!! Ahh someday I can only hope!!!❤️🙏🏻💋🫶🏻👍
It was wonderful. Always we get what we need to grow and animals are our best friends on that way. They show clearly what kind of changes we need to live our full potential. Sensitive persons often have to learn to set boundaries and being self-confident. Now it is a great chance for this wonderful lady to combine empathy with strength. I appreciate your way of working, everything you explain comes through without judging or shaming the persons who want to learn from you and expand their horizont. Thank you, at the end I could feel the joy and feeling of relief in the whole atmosphere.
What a gorgeous area you live in. I love your air fresheners:) Fantastic videos. I love watching the horses come around. Thank you for the experiences. 💖🥰💖
Welcome home you jetsetters you, off to Spain next week. Nice. 😊 Have fun and safe travels. Crunchy ❤ What a cutie-pie. Look at those dapples 😊 You have, as usual, made a positive difference in his and his persons’( I missed her name) life. Need a t-shirt/ sweatshirt with « Everything with quality » on it - words to live by. Love your videos!!! Always learn and reinforce something from watching you work with horses and people. Very nice camera work Tanya! 😊
' Crunchie' used to be a chocolate bar with honeycomb in the middle. Its advertising slogan was 'Crunchie makes exciting biting...' !! .....Just saying 😄
I think when he spooked in the stable block he thought he was going to get smacked as his owner pointed using her stick. I wonder if he has whip fear? He's a wonderful horse! Anyhoo, brilliant video, been where she is and it's frightening. So glad you could show her how she can turn it around.
This couple has a beautiful bounce off each other… even when one has let the team down. Still…. letting it slide , said “We lost the message.” Team all the way. 10/10 peeps
I'm noticing the new car. Lovely, lovely horse and he's so big too. Yes, it's easy to see that he's not yet settled in his new home. I'm still learning every time I see you working with a different horse. Thank you.
I talk to my horses but not whoosy stuff.... love them dearly but I respect their size and strength and set very clear boundaries around my space. A "no" was meant a "no" consistently. Learnt much from a brumby given to me as vicious and unbreakable. She would come at one with teeth bared when I first got her...lead mare character and not afraid of a fight to set her boundaries too. She turned out to be a wonderful partner and we would cover the miles on a 2+ hour ride in the bush...never went back over our tracks. She never let me down and knew voice commands which got us out of trouble on several occasions....we had many adventures together and did a bit of everything, she loved learning new things. Our rides were varied and fun, and she would load herself on the float while I was closing the paddock gate ready to get going. We kept each other safe when needed. We trusted each other totally. Lived to 32 years and gave me a lovely 16.1 filly out of a thoroughbred with warmblood conformation who also turned out to be a good horse but did not have the same boldness and intelligence of her mother. Setting boundaries definitely creates trust in the horse for you and is a must. Quiet, confidence to achieve a clear outcome and yes I do talk to my horses and they understand certainly the words 'be careful' or "be gentle" or "go around me" "walk on" or "back up" as well as "no".
Excellent video in all ways! Sound and filming are great. Teaching awesome, as usual. Fi (owner) is a perfect student, so teachable, lovely in every way. The horse is jaw dropping magnificent! I love the horsey bangs! 😁 The petite owner and very large horse look perfect together! Thank you Steve and Tanya for being such a huge blessing, and making life saving contribution to horses and people. YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you💕
Hi Steve & Tanya. What a beautiful horse & amazing the few issues you can change for the owner. You do a great job Tanya on the video & an asset to Steve filming. You are a great team. Cheers from New Zealand. We follow your videos intently. Looking forward to the Spain video.
Thought I recognised this yard from previous video. Lovely that they are supportive of each other and have come back to you. Lovely sweet horse they will have a great time together when he settles into his home
Brilliant as always! I have learned to stop hugging, kissing and talking constantly to my horse - always learning of course but you are truly sincere - cheers from Canada
Sweet lady and what a lovely horse. These "problems" are often seen, where sweet, sweet and gentle girls later women find it very difficult to get through. Hopefully this sweet lady can learn it. The ability is clearly not natural to her, it can become an endless "problem", but the problem and the solution is not to find in the head of the horse, he is just smart, but in the way this sweet lady behave. Hope for the best.
Steve and Tanya. I love your videos! Thank you for putting them on. It is wonderful the partners you have helped. This horse was surely put together nicely , I've been blessed with the beautiful horses that God allowed me to keep through the years, now I just enjoy watching, so I thank you again!
Hi Steve, your videos are really great, especially your teachings. A little note to see if you could have the microphone with you as the wind is often covering the camera’s mike.Thanks for the advices and sharing your methods. (we have 3 stallions at our home , lusitanos and they are gentle with us as we manipulate them a lot, but I use some of your tricks to improve our relationship with them) All the best, Thierry and Christelle.
Steve is kind and patient to the humans he helps as well. Very commendable.
I absolutely love this lady, It's SO rare to find someone who doesn't blame it on the horse ! Talking about her injury after explaining what happened she immediately clarifies "but it was completely my fault". Then when Steve points out how the palomino pushed her around, she doesn't blame it on the horse or find excuses, she points out how the horse respects Steve but not her and that it's because she isn't consistent enough but hadn't noticed before.
I wish more horse riders and owners were like this there would be less troubled horses around the world.
OMG thats such a gorgeous looking fairytale horse.
What a gorgeous horse. He seems to have a good mind. Looks like horse and rider need solid repeated practice until the lovely owner feels good and confident. Especially as we get older, many of us tend to feel a bit more fragile or vulnerable with such a powerful animal. I speak from experience - my own and a number of people I know or have worked with. And as usual, Steve, you exhibit such patience and kindness along with the firmness required to teach your client. It's not an easy balance but you do it so well! And I have to agree, smiling always helps. 😊💜
“Tell him how good he is, and ‘How good you are.’”
I love your assertive tenderness with both horse and human, Steve. Thank you, as always, for sharing such valuable work.
Thanks for sharing
Doc makes it look way too easy! He will be a ⭐ just keep at it.
Lovely watching the progress.❤❤❤❤😊
Thanks Steve. What a beautiful horse, his dapples are stunning. He looked much calmer and settled when you’d finished xx
The hardest thing I had to learn from Steve's videos was no eye contact and less fussing I was 100% guilty of going in to my horses kissing hugging and talking the ears off them 🤦😅 but now I get my greatest pleasure from knowing I have their respect (well most of the time) love the Steve and Tanya show 🐎🙌
That’s awesome that you are shifting and finding the shifting so positive. I wonder how long it will take for your friends a d neighbors who might have horses to notice and question why!
Steve and Tanya are great 😮
Lovely stable.
Can we all applaud this darling positive couple!

Truly a dynamic gifted team with a beautiful family.
Well said!!!! 🌸🧡🌸💛🌸🤎🌸🖤🌸🤍🌸
They really are a double act they work so well together had the pleasure to see them at penny farm last month well worth it 🙌🐎

I’m doing this now right my horse and this is a godsend. Love these videos
❤🙏🏻
Ditto, I absolutely love Steve's method it makes so much sense.

Awesome video. He is a gorgeous horse. Fantastic temperament. Love how Steve's knowledge of horses is helping so many horse owners both new and seasoned people. Thank you Steve and Tanya.
You are a gift to all the horses you see. Amazing communication.
Looooove this horse!!!! What a perfectly paired horse and rider!! Thanks Steve and Tanya for another fantastic video!
What a smart horse, he tries so hard! I'm so mesmerized by his dapples, what an absolute perfect creation he is. I want a golden horse daddy lol!!
Is that gone with the wind?
Steve and Tanya you two make every horse as beautiful as ever. ❤
I’ve been “binge” watching and I keep wanting to see more.
I’ve been admiring all of the horses but especially CHEVY and ANITA. This Palemino is wonderful ❤.
Glorious looking horse! Picked things up really quickly.
What lovely markings, I’ve never noticed a dapple palomino before!
He's gorgeous isn't he?! I've been wanting a golden appy palomino but I'm converted; the dapples are just beautiful.
I love that soft caress when the horse does something right.
Yes Nancy....I've loved horses all my life and always thought that a good firm pat on the neck would mean "well done, good job" It seems obvious now that it's been highlighted.... horses don't slap each other down the neck to show affection or, any other emotion.....it's an utterly alien sensation to them. A gentle stroke or good scratch in itchy places will reassure and comfort, just how a mare would tell her baby "all is ok and you are safe with me"
Stroke, rub or gently scratch unless the horse leans in and tells you they want more 😍🤗
What a lovely video, its lovely to see how much happier the horses become when they know the ground rules xxx
Thanks for sharing
He's such a stunner! Just lovely and I'm glad he's in such a great home.
This video answered so many questions I have about leading. I also like the leading and driving exercise in the round pen. I can’t wait to work on this with my horse. Thank you for sharing! 💕
What a beautiful Palomino! Such a gorgeous deep color and those dapples...Wow!
First off all huge thanks to Fi, Steve and Tanya for this session. . At 55:38 is the best leading vs driving explanation I've seen. I am a visual learner so this was perfect ❤
Such a splendid animal. The soft touch is so much better
He looks like a galaxy of stars.

What a BEAUTIFUL HORSE! Steve you are AMAZING, how you are so able to read the slightest movement and read what the horse is thinking is AMAZING!!!
You are equally so sensitive to the owner's feelings and reinforce positive instruction and vibes! LOVE YOUR WORK and ASTOUNDING RESULTS!

🎠🌸🍀 Thank you! 🍀🌸🎠 That was very helpful to see the progression of pushing on people to standing back and still fit them.
I would LOVE to see a series of you bringing a youngster from first handling to riding horse!
Yes brilliant idea!!
What a beautiful horse! Intelligent, learns quickly. Steve you are a star! I hope this lady feels more confident and safe with this horse. He probably picked up on her nervousness.

Oh he IS gorgeous!! Love those dapples!

This is magic. It doesn't hurt that this gelding is so beautiful and has a lovely spirit.
Another great video. Beautiful cob,love his dappled,lovily horse. Hope the lady has many yrs with him,hope she gets to keep him. You and Tanya are amazing as usual. Love and hugs to you both.
Thanks for sharing
I love it when your helping seniors with problem horses a big thank you
Wonderful. What a beautiful horse. So relaxed now. Great work Steve as usual thank you you as always Steve and Tanya. 😀

Cheers, Mate! Well worth the watch - even my dog was glue for a bit in the round ring!
Positive, clear, steady leadership, yes, that really does help!
Another great video! She’s amazing at her age doing what she’s doing. She’s in great shape and I hope he turns out to be a great horse for her. You’ve given her the steps to follow. Good work!
What an absolutely lovely video, horse and owner.
Thank you all for sharing. ❤️
Good afternoon from NZ. ' horseless kiwi ', who is so in awe of your talents Steve. Adore the way these horses come round to your way of thinking and what a stunning looking one at that !!! Tell Nita, she's still number one and Tania may I say you're brilliant at the videos. Can't wait for Spain now. Thank you so much.❤🙏👍😀😀
What a gorgeous boy and you did a fantastic job with him too and thank you for all the hard work you and your gorgeous wife helping with these horses
Yet another brilliant video Steve and Tanya. Steve, you make it look so easy. I understand it's critical as to the timing with whatever aids one is using ... goes to show that even if you have a well trained horse, if the ground work (or halter broke as I think you've referred to before) has not been done adequately, there may still be issues ... It's the absolute necessity for earning a horse's respect.
Thanks again for the great video.
He’s a lovely rocking horse. He started to get it and I think he liked it. By having someone in charge it makes his life easier. Just think about choosing a night out. It’s so nice if someone else arranges it for a change and you don’t have to think about anything ( most married women will know what I’m talking about)😊
I have to tell you Steve & Tania...
I purchased a 65" Samsung Q7 Television & at my young age of 63 I just learned how to stream my RUclips channels to my Huge TV & get to watch you both on a Fantastic High Definition TV & really enjoying watching ... Thank you both & your Beautiful Family THANK YOU for sharing such Fun & Educational Vlogs...
Hugs & Blessings Always...
GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💙🤗✝️
Thanks for sharing
The dapples 😍
Thank you for all your doing for the people & the horses . I have always loved Horses & I always will . 🙏🏻❤️🐴😊✌🏼
He is a gorgeous horse and this was another great video. I can understand why he would concerned about what was going on, considering all the changes he had been through. We sometimes forget that animals get anxious about that kind of stuff just like we do. I can see why she loves him. He is trying hard to please when he figures out what it is you are asking of him.
Thanks for sharing
He was very beautiful. I am glad she is gaining more confidence. It is hard to reset your mind after trauma but she is doing a good job.
Love the chance to ride along and hear all the details. Then see all the incredible work you do. Thank you for sharing with us.

I’m from America but I love you …. You are such an inspiration. I wish I owned a horse…but I’m 74 years old and I think my time for riding a beautiful horse is pretty much done…. I’m reLly afraid of horses… How sad is that….New Jersey is my home…. I literally love you! So handsome and smart!! Ahh someday I can only hope!!!❤️🙏🏻💋🫶🏻👍
It was wonderful. Always we get what we need to grow and animals are our best friends on that way. They show clearly what kind of changes we need to live our full potential. Sensitive persons often have to learn to set boundaries and being self-confident. Now it is a great chance for this wonderful lady to combine empathy with strength. I appreciate your way of working, everything you explain comes through without judging or shaming the persons who want to learn from you and expand their horizont. Thank you, at the end I could feel the joy and feeling of relief in the whole atmosphere.
Thanks for sharing 👍
53:14 Hes such a lovey that he has to remind himself his own size!😁 Great Improvements ! Bred to Work!
What a gorgeous area you live in. I love your air fresheners:) Fantastic videos. I love watching the horses come around. Thank you for the experiences. 💖🥰💖
Welcome home you jetsetters you, off to Spain next week. Nice. 😊 Have fun and safe travels.
Crunchy ❤ What a cutie-pie. Look at those dapples 😊
You have, as usual, made a positive difference in his and his persons’( I missed her name) life.
Need a t-shirt/ sweatshirt with « Everything with quality » on it - words to live by.
Love your videos!!! Always learn and reinforce something from watching you work with horses and people.
Very nice camera work Tanya! 😊
' Crunchie' used to be a chocolate bar with honeycomb in the middle. Its advertising slogan was 'Crunchie makes exciting biting...' !! .....Just saying 😄
Thanks for the clarification. I thought it was an odd, but cute, name for a horse, now it makes way more sense.
And I thought the name was chosen, because the colour of the fur matches the cornflakes 'crunchies' 🤣
I totally agree!!
“EVERYTHING WITH QUALITY” T-shirts, Flags, BUMPER STICKERS!!!
Always interesting and fun to watch you work with horses!
I think when he spooked in the stable block he thought he was going to get smacked as his owner pointed using her stick. I wonder if he has whip fear? He's a wonderful horse! Anyhoo, brilliant video, been where she is and it's frightening. So glad you could show her how she can turn it around.
Always learn a lot. I’ve got a lovely yearling who would not be near so wonderful without all these helpful videos.
Steve and tan thank you guys great video the horse was well put together very handsome,he’s a clever animal ,welldone wish them well xxx❤
Gorgeous horse such a pleasure to watch the improvements and how Steve handles the horse he works with!!
This couple has a beautiful bounce off each other… even when one has let the team down. Still…. letting it slide , said “We lost the message.”
Team all the way. 10/10 peeps
I'm noticing the new car. Lovely, lovely horse and he's so big too. Yes, it's easy to see that he's not yet settled in his new home. I'm still learning every time I see you working with a different horse. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning horse. Just beautiful. Thank you so much for these videos, just love them.
You have a beautiful family. Glad you had a good time in Turkey. 😁👍👍
He has such beautiful dappling. ❤
I talk to my horses but not whoosy stuff.... love them dearly but I respect their size and strength and set very clear boundaries around my space. A "no" was meant a "no" consistently. Learnt much from a brumby given to me as vicious and unbreakable. She would come at one with teeth bared when I first got her...lead mare character and not afraid of a fight to set her boundaries too. She turned out to be a wonderful partner and we would cover the miles on a 2+ hour ride in the bush...never went back over our tracks. She never let me down and knew voice commands which got us out of trouble on several occasions....we had many adventures together and did a bit of everything, she loved learning new things. Our rides were varied and fun, and she would load herself on the float while I was closing the paddock gate ready to get going. We kept each other safe when needed. We trusted each other totally. Lived to 32 years and gave me a lovely 16.1 filly out of a thoroughbred with warmblood conformation who also turned out to be a good horse but did not have the same boldness and intelligence of her mother. Setting boundaries definitely creates trust in the horse for you and is a must. Quiet, confidence to achieve a clear outcome and yes I do talk to my horses and they understand certainly the words 'be careful' or "be gentle" or "go around me" "walk on" or "back up" as well as "no".
What a stunning horse. He's an absolute dream
What a beautiful horse. He’s very well mannered, intelligent
Excellent video in all ways! Sound and filming are great. Teaching awesome, as usual. Fi (owner) is a perfect student, so teachable, lovely in every way. The horse is jaw dropping magnificent! I love the horsey bangs! 😁 The petite owner and very large horse look perfect together!
Thank you Steve and Tanya for being such a huge blessing, and making life saving contribution to horses and people. YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you💕
Hi Steve & Tanya. What a beautiful horse & amazing the few issues you can change for the owner. You do a great job Tanya on the video & an asset to Steve filming. You are a great team. Cheers from New Zealand. We follow your videos intently. Looking forward to the Spain video.
What a gorgeous palomino.
Thought I recognised this yard from previous video.
Lovely that they are supportive of each other and have come back to you.
Lovely sweet horse they will have a great time together when he settles into his home
Such a lovely large piece of property in this video and a huge stable. Only saw one other horse in the pasture. Is this commercial or private?
Kindness and patience always work as well as cheerfulness.
What a lovely dappled palomino. Someone should make a life sized statue of him.
Brilliant as always! I have learned to stop hugging, kissing and talking constantly to my horse - always learning of course but you are truly sincere - cheers from Canada
Sweet lady and what a lovely horse.
These "problems" are often seen, where sweet, sweet and gentle girls later women find it very difficult to get through. Hopefully this sweet lady can learn it. The ability is clearly not natural to her, it can become an endless "problem", but the problem and the solution is not to find in the head of the horse, he is just smart, but in the way this sweet lady behave. Hope for the best.
Steve and Tanya. I love your videos! Thank you for putting them on. It is wonderful the partners you have helped. This horse was surely put together nicely , I've been blessed with the beautiful horses that God allowed me to keep through the years, now I just enjoy watching, so I thank you again!
Thanks so much Steve always great to see how your patient, laid back approach works wonders.
11:11 good reaction with your hand placement being prepared for his attitude. We had a mare that was like that about food
"Thats unrequested forward motion, were not 'avin that, nothing in it for him"
I love dappled greys and I love palaminos, and here we have…..the best! What a beauty!
beautiful horse
Hi Steve, your videos are really great, especially your teachings. A little note to see if you could have the microphone with you as the wind is often covering the camera’s mike.Thanks for the advices and sharing your methods. (we have 3 stallions at our home , lusitanos and they are gentle with us as we manipulate them a lot, but I use some of your tricks to improve our relationship with them) All the best, Thierry and Christelle.
