I love how Bonner came up to you, ready for whatever. my horse (Hesed) does that also, no matter what time of the day. (I do not give food treats , he just comes up to see me. I love that !)

Chickens also help keep the tick population down so keep that in mind if you live in an area with a ton of ticks.

Not galvanized?

Very good ! I LOVE Enoch's name !!! One of the few men mentioned in Scripture that did not die ,, because he pleased GOD and was taken up ! My horses now is Hesed and the one before him was Charis ( God's Grace).

Great guys the Chandler boys are! Can’t beat their grit.

My dog plays with my horse, nipping at her heels as she's lead to turn out. She does not react. I've felt like it's good desensitizing for her. Other people have rebuked me for allowing it, (even though I scold the dog, I'm not really "allowing" it), I feel like it's actually been a good thing. I have chickens around my horse also.

When I first brought home my OTTB rescue, he would allow the chickens to eat his grain, too afraid to stand his ground - but now that grain is his (the whole handful LOL) and yes, chickens helped him work thru his fears - chickens & horses go together! thx 4 the share - blessings always & keep being kind!

Wait a minute, the horse is your best friend? I thought black people killed and ate horses.

You just trained him to 😂 fearful of you. Stop waving a stck at him. No horse is invited in.

I would never train this way. I believe love is more powerful. But... you do you.

Good job! I'm glad you have him and not most other trainers

Amen. Teaching patience is key. Spot on. A pushy horse is a dangerous horse. Good work.

What a beautiful horse.

GREAT VIDEO, GREAT CONTENT, GREAT EXPLANATION!!!

Let him eat!

I agree with everything you say. My horses have been very loving but want to please me because of the way I treat them. I can do everything I do to them without a halter or rope on them.

By any chance you can do a video on what you use for supplements

I agree totally. I feel so lucky to even have a passion for something! I have friends that don't have the first hobby let alone a passion for something. I admire you for not naming names but l have to say, when they say never meet your heros? Ugh l met Clinton A and to say l was disappointed is an understatement. Way too big for his britches or head way too big for his hat. All about the $ now, absolutely not the horse.

I agree !!! I have had a Passion for horses ever since I can remember and have owned one whenever I can afford to . I feel like part of me is missing when I don't have a horse. You are correct , we are always learning something when we are around our horse. What a blessing they are to us.

I have a loads of pets and 5 horse are part of my pets. I have Donkeys,Dogs, cats goats, chickens and quail and I enjoy them all and I do t ride them.👍

I want to ride but my schedule keeps me from doing so. I do groom and take her for a walk and just hanging out. Its satisfying.

exactly, wonderful

You are SO right!

Amen!

You are right 💯 present

I ENJOY my horse Everyday !! The bond with my horse is so rewarding. I do agree that being with our horse IS Therapeutic !!! I give him the very best care I can.

I’m so glad you said this

I love this! You have a very down to earth way approach and I appreciate that. Thank you!

I named one of my horses moonshine and not the alcohol. She’s a bay roan. She looks like a shine from the moon.

Absolutely brilliant.

Exceptional training.

I think horses are the most misunderstood and abused of all animals.

Looks like it contains a lot of tumeric which is an incredibly healthy spice with many benefits

I loved watching this, I can not wait for the next step❤ I have a gelding, who was super headshy, I managed to find out from previous owners that he was whipped in the face as a youngster, which really saddened me. They battled to put a bridle on and started to use force. He then got sold and eventually found/chose me. I was nervous in the beginning because he is a big horse, but I took small steps and showed him, I mean him no harm. Today I can scratch his face, clean his ears, touch his poll without him backing up and throwing his head up. The trust is undescribeable❤ He taught me so much about trust and patience. People who don't know us, even comment on how amazed they are when my horse spotted me in the crowd. His eyes follow me everywhere🥰 Such an honour to know. Sending greetings from South Africa🇿🇦🐴

How long does it take on average to gentle a horse? I know it takes as long as it takes w each individual personality. Just wondering how long you will spend on getting them to trust people. ❤

I like the idea but I think maybe your hand could be just a touch lower and because he's starting to have a bit of trust or curiosity when he sniffs at you maybe a little horsey treat to make him think. Well this human is friendly. Doesn't mean you have to do that every time you want him to do something just a peace offering. Animals aren't stupid. But I think you're patience is good and some animals are better than others. Keep up the good work and hopefully wild animals can become friends with us ❤

So impressed with your method of introducing yourself to a very pretty boy. He is doing great considering is is wild and never probably had such kindness. I'm a new subscriber can not wait to see the progress with him. Will you keep him a stallion?

Studs generally dont like face touched anyways. So tough angle. But good job for a start.

Where did that horse come from keep up the great job

Absolutely beautiful! I wish more people would realize the power or words and how all animals can feel them. So naming your pet is set to the emotion you want it to give out✨🐴🫶🏽🩵

He's gorgeous!

Excellent! I absolutely love your way with horses and heart you have for these Masterpiece works of God. God blessed me with 4 absolutely gorgeous Arabian Quarter Horse mix horses. One was a 4 yr old gelding but had been the sire of the other 3 young stallions. The young ones had been severely neglected and starving. I didn't get them gelded until they were 4 because one didn't fully drop until that age. They did well together since they had several acres and never stalled up. They all used to be so easily spooked and untrusting. Now they are very friendly and gentle, but need much more training. One recently got rattlesnake bit behind his jaw and wouldnt allow us to doctor him much. Thankfully he has healed up without scars. They are magnificent yard art and every day I'm in awe of their beauty and I'm immensely thankful to God that I get to take care of them. The last one of my old horses died in January. My smooth, sweet gray, Banner, was always joyful and playful & lived to be 38! I'd be heart sick without a horse if these horses hadn't been here. Keep up the amazing work. May God protect, bless & guide you.

This applies to raising children but parents seem to be failing miserably. .

I love how patient you are with him. Doing it the right way-- slowly makes a big different later.

Genius!

We Are always teaching/training our horses . Wanting the things he learns from me to be good things not bad habits.

What's the estimated yearly cost to own a horse?

If i had a horse, i'd name it Cutie!

I love this! It’s actually the same with children - the times I’ve seen parents with noisy young children who say ‘oh he is a little ---‘ and when you look, the child’s tee shirt says ‘little monster’ on it!

I named my doberman puppy Daryl Dixon. She is wild and so far untamed, also kind and protective already. She's growing into it!!
