Catching Hard to Catch Hurt Horse - Driveline - Pressure & Release - Rick Gore Horsemanship

[@buddette3308]

Wow! Total enlightenment. Many years ago when I was meeting a horse for the first time and I climbed up on a fence and horse was on the other side,I just reached out to pat his face and the horse bit me right on my bicep area of arm. I had a red shirt on and always thought horse thought my arm was an 🍎. His bite was hard and bruised me. I think now maybe because I climbed up on fence and reached in and I was looking him in the eye.

[@samanthalightworker7955]

Rick, I watched this year's ago, but it popped into my feed and so watched it again. Just appreciate you so much Rick!

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

👍🤠

[@denisej8646]

Hollie is such a good sport in this video. Mr. T definitely made her earn catching him.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Some girl I picked up hitch-hiking a few years ago, keep her in the closet until I need her.

[@magic-catt98]

Think Like A Horse LOL!!! Your response to Jessica B is absolute GOLD 😂😂😂! I just LOVE your sense of humor. For some reason, this response really hit my funny-bone this morning (it's around 4:30am here)! Anyway, this was an extremely educational and helpful video. I don't have trouble catching my own horse, but at the ranch where I board (and previously worked at) I sometimes still help out with the other horses. Not all of them are as easy as my horse is to catch. Turns out I was already using these principles (to a lesser degree), which I guess is why I had FAR less trouble catching the really "hard-to-catch" horses that other people couldn't get. With this video, I now see WHY I was able to catch them more easily than some of the other staff, and also, I can fine-tune what I'd already been doing to make it even easier and more effective. You're right when you say that "with horses, the slow way IS the fast way." Thanks again, Rick!

[@sunbeagle9769]

This is so cool. Mr. T, CEO of Horsey Operations.

[@lynette50]

Well done Holly. I was holding my breath in case Tanner bolted lol.. way to go!

[@valerieirvin249]

So interesting.... Glad you gave Mr. T a good home n some good years, he's an amazing horse & you're just a natural Rick 👍 Learning a lot, as usual. 🤔

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Thanks 👍

[@hannahpumpkins4359]

Mr.T is so smart - and so sweet! It's like he knows he's teaching her - unbelievably awesome!

[@RevelationTwelve11]

Great demonstration, and a job well done by all, including Mr. T who's always a fantastic teacher/trainer! :-)

[@JackOllie4]

_Awesome teaching video._ Learned so much from this!

[@comesahorseman]

Well taught.

[@Sirah1981]

Go Holly, learning from horses is subtle but rewarding. I bet she feels good about herself now.

[@RCHawkins04]

Thank you so much for your videos. My husband and I acquired a older mare and to mini mules through a horse rescue here in Tennessee. Our mare was neglected and is not halter trained nor was I even able to handle her. I love your videos! I hope to be able to halter her after watching you work with others. Thank you so much and I will keep you posted on how we do.

[@Szlejer]

All I can say Rick this is a fantastic educational video, the best I've seen on the subject for a very long time! Hats off!

[@Zynaal]

Not all us horse forum gals are against you Rick. I for one am enjoying your videos and irreverant humor. You have a good grasp on horse communications and a humorous way to teach it to others. This is just how I catch my horses when they are being difficult and of course I am in a time crunch and they sense it. Lol. Wish I had the room to have my current horse on site. Best of luck vs the barn witches.

[@stupidkitten]

I love the videos where you instruct others! :) It helps really make the point in my opinion after you have shown what you do. Get well soon, Mr T!

[@garnetbelial]

Wow, amazingly done and in much shorter time than trying to wave your arms and run after him. Calm and smart is always better. Hope Mr. T gets to healing, even if he doesn't want the doctoring.

[@emiliarev5120]

Very useful lesson, thank you master ! And of course thanks and hugs to Mr-T😁

[@sword111119]

I actually went to this horse rescue barn recently and there was this one horse no could get anywhere near. Let's just say, I was glad I watched this video. Thanks Rick!

[@me9spring]

I have a friend who had trouble catching her horse, though I didn't have too much trouble. But anyway I tried this approach and it was even better, and I showed my friend, and then her horse followed HER instead of the other way around. What a difference!

[@susanflowers6282]

Rick I found a video I've never watched of yours. I love it! You're such a great teacher! You live in Texas now! And sweet MrT is retired . Time flies..😊

[@daninj99]

Rick, First off I just want to say you are a genius. Enough said. This video is unbelievably helpful and I am incredibly grateful for it. But, being the inexperienced, stupid human that I am, I am still doing something wrong. My horse, every time I try to cut her driveline off(by walking-no running) she speeds up. By speed up I mean take off. Is there something that I need to make sure that I'm doing in order to cut her drive-line off? When she takes off what should I do? I would really appreciate a response! Thank you for everything you do!

[@OliveDeuce]

It this was me I wouldn’t walk I’d run with the horse cut in front of her drive line catch up to her

[@wandering1coyote]

Also I like this video, I found it helpful to watch the whole dynamic going on from a distance between Mr T, other horses, and humans, and see you talk through someone else catching your horse! Now I can see it all going on and guess for myself what the horse is going to do based on who/what's around. That's sometimes been harder when you've filmed what you're doing while you're doing it. Also shows better that it's communication and not some weird magic mojo between you and your horses. ;)

[@robertvose7310]

that was another great explanation and i now find myself expecting you to say what i am thinking..these early videos are really making me think. i am even thinking how my dog perceives how i interact with her..

[@fionaclayton1234]

Mr T sure is a great ole teacher of the horse - well done Holly 😀...Buddy...Mr T...Rick...you are THE BEST 💙 💙 💙

[@17mskeely]

Hey Rick, thanks for teaching me what i was doing wrong with my horse. Have been watching videos for a little while and was attempting to catch my horse today. I now know i was teaching her to run from me... Now I'll be better prepared to give it a shot tomorrow. Thanks again and to all the barn witches and know it all teenagers_ shut up and listen. You're missing out on an amazing opportunity to help you help your horse!

[@AdoreInVegas]

Again, thanks for making these videos, Rick.

[@smoochypooh7700]

Great, very explanatory video. Thank you so much 😊!

[@raendu]

Thanks for this. This worked for me on my new horse, who has a history of abuse. Making progress.

[@staywithsteven]

Awesome videos keep them up! Learnt more since I started watching them than I have since I started riding horses

[@wandering1coyote]

I don't own a horse but I hope to someday... years, maybe a decade or so from now, and meanwhile I plan to learn everything I can about horses being horses BEFORE any horse ever has to put up with my dumb human ass! Thanks for doing what you do, Rick.

[@laurasmith5796]

I used to try catching my boy by pushing him off until he gave up... except stupid human didn't realise that he could run away from me forever. I knew there had to be a better way that running both of us into a sweat, but I didn't know it. Now, since I started using this technique, and using patience, I can't say he's 100% perfect to catch, but lately he's started coming up to me instead of running away. It's such a low key method but it communicates clearly to him what I want. Thanks for this!

[@805raptor5]

I know this is an older video but I got to this channel because I was was watching your cop channel. I'm not stalking but I am binge watching. I had a boyfriend tell me once (I can hardly type the words without laughing but maybe he was really a horse disguised as a Navy F-18 flight instructor), he said 'You need to anticipate my next move and act accordingly'. But really, it fits in this and many situations you find yourself in with horses. This was a great video and there were lessons learned by both, right up until Mr. T was caught.

[@melanieroteliuk3683]

Perfect video!! I love to watch other people (poor Holly LOL) work with your horses because it shows me what I am doing incorrectly with my horse. I just bought a gelding that I have difficulty communicating with. He is very flighty and flinches almost every time I move and if I have a rope or rope like item he is gone!! Unsure of his past experiences but I believe in moving forward and so this video was super helpful. Good job Holly....you are helping us newbies!!

[@tonik2734]

Very nice video. These same steps work on people too.

[@myprincesslilly1]

Great video! Really helped! I have a hard to catch horse and I could never catch her unless she became tired of running from me. Your other video on this subject helped me so much! I can walk right out in the pasture and sometimes she will walk right up to me now :) Some days we have our off days and it takes longer. This has helped me alot, for those off days, thanks for uploading :)

[@maggiefreeman6513]

Excellent video. Thanks so much.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@keithtaylor6069]

Excellent video absolutely loved it thank you

[@panicos1966]

Great lesson! thank you !

[@deannarosie2303]

haha I always use the hugging tactic when i catch my horses. nice video.

[@perpetually_empty_bucket]

KZbin hates me, it won't play this video :( Hope all is going well with Mr. T and we all love the grumpy old boy

[@jojooffaraway2675]

Such a useful video. Thanks a lot

[@Waaaghster]

Nice video. Shows how some horses really need you to be awake when you´re trying to catch them. I enjoy this kind of hooking up more than what I see sometimes around the barns here, where people bribe their horses into coming to them with treats. Nice to do sometimes, but not all the time. Also, ouch. I hope Mr. T manages to rid himself of that nasty thing on his neck quickly, it looks seriously uncomfortable on the other videos.

[@lyndabell1966]

You're the shit Rick!!! Lol

[@LullabyKitty]

While watching this I was thinking: "Oh, for god's sake, get a grip girl!" as many things did irritate me (small steps, slow reactions etc). But actually this is how beginners and the most part of people who do not know horse language very well do things, so it's actually very realistic. Thank you for the video!

[@lilyxciv5637]

What about trying to catch a horse with an injured back leg that doesn’t walk away, only turns her butt towards me each time I approach, and attempts to kick out if i get close?

[@demonicpitbul7913]

I miss Holly and Roper in these videos.

[@AutumnFawn13]

This worked for me:) Works quick too. Thank you so much!

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

RE: this is the first comment on this: poor horse!! this is abuse u can tell he doesnt wannabe caught!! he wants to be alone!! LIKE JUST LET THE HORSE BE AND IF UWANT JUST PUT A BAND AID ON HIS CUTAND PUT A RUG OVER HIM AND PUT HIM IN A SMALLER PASTURE ALONE LIKE ITS MUCH NICER modelhorselover101 2 minutes ago

[@morganandmatilda2179]

with my friends horse ,henry, I sit in the field with him and feed him some treats, I then sit with him for a while the when all the treats are gone I leave the field and come back in half an hour and do the same thing, this is a 12 year olds method for building trust and eventualy I will be able to gain enough trust that he will let me catch him

[@juliaslack5214]

Another informative video! - off-subject question: the video where Mr. T is 'snaking' herding mares - do u remember the title off-hand? can't find it - love that video.

[@reininghorses57]

It's not abuse. If you can't catch a horse who is sick or injured, he can't get treatment, and that could be very bad news. Learn your facts before you comment rude things.

[@myprincesslilly1]

Hope Mr. T gets better! :)

[@artOfSamira]

thanks for this video. I could not work my horse because of an injury, so now she is like: the hell do you want?. So she always tries to run away. The strange thing is that when I catch her and get her in the roundpen she's following me like a dog. So the total opposite when I'm trying to catch her...

[@sunbeagle9769]

What happened with Mr T here? What was the source of the pain?

[@Madaboutspirit]

This video is soooo help full, thank you so much :)

[@edda2703]

Perfect work!!!

[@meg11a]

Reading this was freaking hilarious!

[@onetuliptree]

Great video of inexperienced person learning to catch a horse

[@sword111119]

Amazing video!

[@minnimo17]

Ughhh people are so stupid! "abuse" lol! Because obviously the horse was being beaten in to submission to be caught and she had him galloping round her for 3 hrs before he gave in -_- would love to see their version on catching difficult horses! Think this is the best video I've seen on catching difficult horses! Really good explanations about Mr T's "thought process" too! :)

[@ASLFrugalMom]

LOVE THIS VIDEO!! Thanx Rick! Do you mind me asking, who is Hollie to you?

[@carli6407]

I like this technique but it’s so much harder when the horse is in a large field!

[@dshe8637]

I've been trying this with my daughter's mare. Whenever I put pressure on, she just speeds up. Even the slightest pressure. She won't let me in front of her drive line. If I try to make her move her feet, she circles round and threatens to kick me. If I take off the pressure, she will hang out next to me for ages, but the slightest hint that I'm going to get a rope on her, off she goes. I sometimes take an apple to share with her and we just chill out together. Think I need to spend more time with her, but I do wish I could just go out and catch her straight away like my daughter does

[@dshe8637]

Of course I don't take the pressure off when she threatens me, I tell her off, clap my hands and pretend not to be scared :-)

[@maryannhope8276]

💖💖💖💖💖 Peace

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

search Mare, I think it is herd something or mare something

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

opps, I guess the link was already there... :)

[@rachelames5894]

has holly been around horses?

[@Dano86]

It's time to catch him just to give him love. Petting, grooming, butt scratches, whatever he likes. Poor guy. I wouldn't want you touching me either if it hurts every time you catch me. Get well soon, Mr. T.

[@perfectpooches1813]

When I try and catch my shetland He shows me his back end And if I try to move around him he kicks with both back feet What do i do ?

[@meghantucker452]

+Perfect pooches you might be giving to much pressure

[@Mean_Jean]

+Perfect pooches Make him move his feet, make him work when he's not listening

[@FromWishingDreams]

Yeah, me too.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

lol, I know that, but that site does encourage mean gossip and allows mean people to hide under fake names and just bring negative crap - You should take a look at this new blog that has screen shots of the stuff they post there; I will add link to the description box of this video, check it out and then tell me how horseforum is good and does not promote evil and meanness. myhorseforumexperience.blogspot.com/

[@GoldenLioness100]

Can anyone please clarify for me what Rick means when he says 'get in front of the drive line?' Maybe I'm doing the wrong searches or something ridiculous but when I try, all I get is pages on how to 'long line' or 'long rein' your horse ... as part of teaching them how to drive.

[@loverofundertale2920]

I know it's been a year so I don't know if you figured it out yet or if you've forgotten about it but from this video I'm assuming drive line would be where his shoulder is and is basically like your arm, where he feels the most power since his legs connect there. Idk I'm just assuming.

[@JHuff276]

The simplified definition of "drive line" is the direction the front half of the horse is facing, or the direction that it is going to walk.

[@dumbunny6]

Imagine a geometric plane perpendicular to where the horse is moving that splits the horse into a front and back part, right around where the girth goes. That's the drive line. If you're on the head-side of the drive line, you're ahead of it; if you're on the hind-side of the drive line, you're behind it. This is assuming you know where the horse wants to go because there's a fence or a draw.

[@wolfgirl167Jess]

why so many argument on this video? , i though this was great video :D i hope mr.T get better

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Ignorance knows no sex - sad time for horses that so many know-it-all idiots own them.

[@Skippytrucking]

LOL, the first comment must be made by a troll. I suppose even idiots can watch your channel. Nice video.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Are you a freaking idiot are just faking it? This is abuse? If you can't catch a horse you can't help him, can't doctor him, can't do his feet and you can't give good needed care. Shut the hell up and get the hell off this channel, it is for learning and people with a brain, two things you obviously don't possess. PS: Just because you have dumazz horselover name does not make you smart or show that you love a horse, you are the perfect example of ignorant horse owners that think they know.

[@lilithdesdemona]

Do you even know ANYTHING about horses?
