Is it just me or does anyone else feel like when they rescue a horse, train them, work with them, and just spend time with them in general, its feels like the impact they make on you is bigger then anything else could ever be, because you can look back and realize how far you and them came together
I feel like horses are children. They are stubborn, loving, trusting, and get into a some amount of trouble. They love to play and love attention. Geronimo is the best and I can’t wait to see what you do with him!
Ah Geronimo is the most precious horse ever! He has a great personality and I'm sure will be an amazing little horse! You have done an amazing job and inspire me. You two both have such an amazing work ethic! Great job!
He’s coming along great! I’m working with a rescue mare who is the polar opposite. No personal space, lazy as hell. She’s getting better, we’ve had her for roughly a month and we’ve almost cantered so far. I’m doing groundwork for a month or so until she will listen and focus on me. For the first month I let her settle in and ride her to get a feel for her. She has a bad habit of kicking out if she’s mad or doesn’t like something which got dangerous after her fosters didn’t correct it.
He looks amazing! I remember when you first got him and introduced him to your channel. You two have come so far and you have inspired me to continue working with my OTTB that has made me want to rip the hair out of my head lol. After all his testing with me, I became very unmotivated to work with him and it was always a pain for me to be with him. Now he’s so so so much better with his training and I truly feel like we’ve made so much progress. Thank you!
I love this video. A year ago I picked up my un-handled gelding. I can now ride him daily! It is so rewarding to look back and see how far they have come
Ever since I saw this horse I’ve been amazed by him, he’s beautiful and has so much potential. He’s gonna be the cutest show pony and I’m so thankful that you rescued him from the path he was on 💕
I loved this video but I loved it even more when you said you wanted to stay off your green horse as you didn't want to risk contributing to the healthcare system during a time of crisis. I think that is incredibly mature and I respect you even more for it. Awesome video. Thank you for uploading it! I can't wait to keep tabs on how he comes along! Great work so far.
That’s amazing! You’ve done a phenomenal job with him! I’m breaking or training or whatever you’d like to call it lol a Buckskin Pinto QH pony(14.1 Hands) who I am actually going to ride for the first time this weekend, She was quite a challenge I’ve had her for 8 months now and she’s made amazing progress she has an abusive past(we think from the way she behaves and she has 5 missing teeth vet thinks someone ripped out her teeth with a bit as well as her terrible fear of bits soooo Hackamore it is!😅) and a very nervous horse she still is but only off property and if she sees unknown people/Horses. It’s amazing how smart they are and they are all so talented in there own ways it’s so unique. Congratulations with Geronimo!!! He looks amazing!!! You two have come soooo far! You guys look amazing! You should be so proud of yourselves congratulations!!😁🎉🐴
You have quite a way of seeing, and bringing out the good in the beings that come into your life. All of the ponies and people you give your love to are lucky to be loved by you 💕
At first I thought I was going to find this video to be too long to watch completely, but I loved every minute of it, and by the end couldn't wait to see how he would be :) Your horsemanship and patience is fantastic, and the timelapses are great to see how much time it takes to get a nervous horse to become more relaxed. Your horsey comments are great too, very recognisable! xD Loved watching Geronimo turn from a nervous, stubborn toddler to a horse that's actually really willing to work, with a cheeky personality. Could see definitely in the first part of the video the physical change he was going through as well. Around the middle it was great to see him think, rather than react immediately, about what you were asking of him. I was also wondering when you were going to adress him fidgeting around the mounting block, really glad to see you did that *applause* It was amazing to see his trot change under saddle, he actually has a really nice gait. Also, Riley is super cute, the very gentle way she brushes him at some point in the video really melted my heart. It is good to remember at times that you first need a very solid base, and the importance of taking these teeny tiny steps in our eyes because for the horse they really a quite big, before you can start refining, and this video shows that perfectly. Yes, saying your horse has become your friend is SUPER CHEESY but that doesn't make it any less true :) I know this is a long comment, but this is a long video so I felt entitled to it xD Subbed cuz I wanna see how you and Geronimo are doing in the future!
You did an amazing job with him, super impressed with how far he’s come, and that little booger Riley(she cracks me up), she’s so good with the horses. I can see her going far and having a bright horsey future!
He is by far the most beautiful horse I’ve ever seen and not going to brag but I’ve owned some beautiful horses he has come so far! You did amazing training him
RUclips just suggested this video too me, and i’m so happy! I really love how patience you are with him! Not rushing into things! He’s One lucky Horse!
Omg so proud of you and him to be able to do all those things in a short period of time! Lots of horses deserve you and your barn would be perfect for rescue horses!
You’re doing great with him..when talking about him you look like you are slightly doubting yourself...DONT you’re doing fabulous..I see so many kids you’re age getting into horse training and taking it on themselves with out expert help around them...I know everyone scatters when a camera comes out..but even if you are alone which you aren’t if you’re mom is there.. you are doing something that makes me proud of the next generation of trainers because in my car rear training has changed..it’s improved in leaps and bounds..thanks to ppl like monty Roberts..heck even I’ve done a class with him...very lucky but there’s plenty of ppl doing great things in natural horsemanship...good for you..I’m riding 41 years and a trainer of young and messed up horses for 30 of those years...since I was 16 yrs...
I just bought an 8 year old Appendix Quarter Horse mare a couple months ago and named her Geronimo (but I call her Minno for short)! She is broke to ride, is soft and light on the ground and in saddle, and has great ground manners, but she gets nervous, skittish and pushy with new things and new places. There are a lot of things we have to work through but this video has definitely inspired me to work with her more! There have been times working with my Geronimo where I have actually cried(and I'm not a big crier) because I felt devastated and didn't know if I'd be able to work through something. But there is always something that makes me want to try again and work through the problems! Thank you so much for this video it is very inspiring!!💛
What a great story! I love hearing how far he has come and he looks absolutely stunning. I know that ultimately a very difficult decision will be yours to make, but I really hope you keep him. Stay safe!
Hi Stephanie, I’ve just discovered you and your vlogs, I’m watching from the UK. I especially loved this video about Geronimo, I love how kind and patient you are and he’s very lucky to have ended up with you. He looks a different horse by the end , both in condition and demeanour, congratulations! Wonderful barn, wonderful vlogs, love the emphasis on food and fun and above all caring for your horses in the best way that a person can ❤️👏👏👏
He's amazing! He definitely seems like the kinda horse that can get a few months off work and pick up right where you've left off, very smart man. He has come so far and you should be so proud of that!
i clicked on this video and i was entranced, it's so cool to watch how much he progressed over time- it's awesome how much you both have become more comfortable with each other! I've had my share of ponies like him in all shapes and sizes and i think you should be proud of both of yourselves :)
I LOVE WHEN THEY BECOME OUR FRIENDS. I HAVE HAD A FEW GOOD ONES THAT LOVE WHEN U COME AROUND. AWESOME WORK BOTH OF U! CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE! ENJOY!!!
Sorry I'm a bit late on this video! From Day 1, you have CHANGED Geronimo in the best way! He has improved so well and you inspire me to get a barn and ride just like you do when I grow older! You truly did save him, and he saved you. :)
He was as feral as any mustang I’ve seen watching makeover videos. Your patience and your understanding of him are so amazing. Any idea of his genetic background? I could see (perhaps) both a little bit of thoroughbred and Arabian in him, along with paint genes. My first horse had one blue eye, so I’m very partial to horses like Geronimo. If he was neglected the first years of his life, I hope that the better nutrition you’ve introduced has made up for any physical problems that may have caused him. I shudder to think what might’ve happened to him, had you not taken him on.
Thank you for sharing his journey with us. You did an amazing job with him and I can’t wait to see him blossom even more! I also want to thank you for keeping it real, and I don’t think time working on the ground was a bad decision during the coronavirus. It’s a scary time and like you said, it’s important to have the right state of mind working with youngsters.
I’m planning on starting a young horse soon! This was such an awesome video and helped me a lot. That’s also such a genius idea having the reins attached to the halter with the bit in the mouth
I am so proud in how far he has come, and I wish I could go to your barn, and meet him myself! ❤️ keep up the great work, and I can’t wait to see him progress in the future!! ❤️💕💞
Wow this is really inspiring and you have done so much work on Geronimo . He has made a lot of progress. He seems like he will be amazing and a great riding horse one day for everyone .
I love seeing how it started out like he was a little wild but I love seeing how he just got better and better and better until you could ride him and go over poles and stuff like that! I enjoyed this video so much!
Wow I’m kinda early for once! Geronimo looks amazing, and you should be extremely proud and happy with your outstanding work with him. He will be an absolutely gorgeous horse, have fun with him!
i love how you did this a not so great horse to a loving kind and warm horse i have my own horse and i had to do the same thing i love this video thanks for sharing your experience thats the best story.
wow! looks like a much happier, healthier, stronger horse!!! amazing job, ive always been so daunted by the thought of starting 'from scratch' by you did so great

Stephanie when she first got him: “he’s just a project I’m definitely selling him”
Stephanie now: “he’s my best friend”
😂🙈
Lol
That’s so true Stephanie you are just a pony collector though

You did it you’ve saved a horse from years of mistreatment or even worse the slaughter house love your vids ❤️
I love how far he has come I remember when you first got him!!
Same he is an amazing horse and you should be very proud of him and your self
👍 👍
Same he’s aswsome doing them bucks and scary
Just from the thumbnail he already looks so much better! He has such a pretty coloring too!
Ah Geronimo is the most precious horse ever! He has a great personality and I'm sure will be an amazing little horse! You have done an amazing job and inspire me. You two both have such an amazing work ethic! Great job!
He’s coming along great! I’m working with a rescue mare who is the polar opposite. No personal space, lazy as hell.

For the first month I let her settle in and ride her to get a feel for her. She has a bad habit of kicking out if she’s mad or doesn’t like something which got dangerous after her fosters didn’t correct it.
Geranimo is soo pretty and I love his blue eye
I saw this little guy when I was looking for a horse I’m glad he is with a good home who can put in the effort to make me a great horse ❤️❤️❤️
That one person who disliked is annoyed they don’t have there own barn
meh
Yeah that is sooooooo true

He looks amazing! I remember when you first got him and introduced him to your channel. You two have come so far and you have inspired me to continue working with my OTTB that has made me want to rip the hair out of my head lol. After all his testing with me, I became very unmotivated to work with him and it was always a pain for me to be with him. Now he’s so so so much better with his training and I truly feel like we’ve made so much progress. Thank you!
5:38 I love how when he spooks all the horses stick their heads out to check out the commotion 😂
He is such a gorgeous pony! And I can’t wait to see him showing soon 😆
He has come so far ❤️ so thankful that he ended up with you and is now loving life
This is amazing I love how much patience you had with him. You didn't tell at him and chose to just carry on which is great.
Geronimo is such a cutie! He looks so happy running around with his buddies and while working. Amazing job!
I love this video. A year ago I picked up my un-handled gelding. I can now ride him daily! It is so rewarding to look back and see how far they have come
Now THAT is how you train a horse🤩 what a cutie Geronimo is! He seems so happy in his new and beautyful home❤️
This just made me so happy! I couldn't stop smiling at the end! He is a lovely pony and will be so amazing!!
Wow! That is incredible, Stephanie. I’m so happy for you. He has come SO far!!!
Ever since I saw this horse I’ve been amazed by him, he’s beautiful and has so much potential. He’s gonna be the cutest show pony and I’m so thankful that you rescued him from the path he was on 💕
I love watching a horse discover the joy that comes from being loved on by people, what a sweet boy 🥰

This is the kind of horse that's asking so much of your energy but in the end you love them the most
I love how she always pays attention to the horse and listens to them
