MY CRAZY HORSE'S 1 YEAR TRANSFORMATION

[@laurendyer3546]

This ladies and gents is a true equestrian 👏🏻👏🏻

[@natalieduttonx3460]

Lauren Dyer 110% agree having been through a similar situation with one of my horses

[@CharReed]

Yes! 100%! I felt so bad for him in the surgery

[@apaige1928]

Lauren Dyer Amen for that!

[@alsfiw]

The horse: Can I go faster? :3 Rider: no The horse: *Bucks off rider*

[@bridgetwebber5873]

Just Sasha my lesson horse is the opposite lol! He’s like, “mom I really don’t want to canter.” And I’m like, “just a nice 1 lap canter.” And he’s like, “FINE.” lol 😂

[@shrekscumslut1341]

Describes one of my mares perfectly

[@davielawrence3773]

I had this with a mare who was quite new in our stable. I had riding lesson on her and she constantly tried to buck her riders off und RUN. The vet said everything was okay with her, her saddle fitted perfectly and we used the right bit. She just wanted to run and be wild. So she tried to buck me off, I almost fell, my trainer was panicking and I was like "when she wants to run then she has to." So I gave her the lead, she galloped like crazy and when I felt her getting calmer I galloped her on both sides, then changed to trot, galloped again and got back to walk. Since then I loved to ride her and she behaved great with me - even though she tried to buck others off - she never tried to do it with me and you could see she really liked it when I was on her

[@irelandjackson2340]

Relatable! My lesson horse, Petey, is that in every way. *Petey: Faster* Me: No *Petey: FASTER* Me: No *Petey: Bucks* Me: Fine

[@davielawrence3773]

@Student Mackynze Wolfe I think she was afraid because it was a new horse, I am not the best rider (especially at that time) and the horse has bucked others of before but no other horse in the stable was available at that time

this is a proper horse makeover. from disagreeing with the contact and wanting to run to jumping huge heights and really coming on in his flatwork too. wow, Claire. *inspirational!*

Seriously owen jumps that 3'6" over like nothing.... that's amazing. You have made such amazing progress with him, and I hope that someday I can do what you have done with a project horse!!!! Love you Claire

[@equitationpaige9466]

He’s grown up so much, so impressive how far you two have come and how far you’ve brought him!

[@kylachristie5974]

Claire, you are literally like the best rider ever. You tried out different bridal options, even bitless, you were patient, you are so heartwarming and inspiring. Thank you for posting your equine life❤❤❤

[@oliviafreyburger569]

Claire your so patient and loving towards Owen, and that is incredible!! He looks so much better you’ve worked so hard with him and that’s amazing!!

[@Miirasha]

So glad to see that you didn't just go straight for a super strong bit like many others do when their horse is too hot/have lots of energy. Stronger bits should never be the quick fix solution to strong horses. Yeah you might be able to get more control or stop your horse easier with a stronger bit, for some that is enough and it is considered a fix, tho it is so far from that.. you haven't really solved the problem, you've just hidden it through a bit that would cause pain if fought. People should know how to work through problems and be patient instead of going to quick fixes. You're an great example, so happy to see you two's progress! Keep on the good work ^^

[@ida2300]

imo hackamores in general just arent great, espically the ones that are the most common in english riding. The shank is so fucking huge. It really does create alot of pressure on the nose which a lot of horses cant handle

[@WestButWayWorse]

I completely agree. I almost always use a 2 peice bit like a snaffle (don't hate me if I'm wrong). If I could I wouldn't use a but but most of the horses I ride would take off

[@milliecentmatheson4159]

My horse always used to take off with me on him and sometimes I'm almost glad he did because he made me the rider I am today but the last time he took off I just let him run, but when he started to slow down on a straight up hill I kicked him on until he was so out of breath and since then he has never taken off out of naughtiness or because he is strong. He now only takes off if he is scared shitless. And when he is scared shitless, I let him run till he has to stop because he is a flight animal. Obviously I try to calm him down and I pat and stroke him, tell him it's okay and let him know he doesn't have to be scared of being pulled about because I was just comforting him and getting him to trust me. Then I moved on to desensitization to me making noise with the whip. I started on the ground and then bare back and now we are gathering sheep together and he loves it. I have sheep so it worked out. I tried for so long to try find what he likes and one day it just clicked. He always pinned his eare and wanted to go after the sheep and I was encouraging him to go. He is such a good horse now and I love him even more than when I first got him, and loved him a lot.

[@DS-ky9dl]

I love how considerate you are of your horses and their feelings. It is admirable, the sign of a caring owner. You ride him so well, as a real teammate.

[@fleetcreek4831]

I recognize the barn you bought him at, it’s where my daughter rides! I’m so proud of you for the amazing training you’ve given him! He was meant to be yours!💕

I can’t believe it’s been a year already well done Claire you and Owen have came so far together x

[@KrystianaRose]

I’m so glad you two found each other! I think there are a lot of people who wouldn’t of given him the time and patience he’s needed, like you have. Wishing great things for you two!

[@annalise8572]

I’ve ridden several horses with a large canters in the past, and my most recent horse that i had to ride (which she got sold sadly, i’m gonna miss her a lot) had the largest canter so far. they’re really tiring when first learning how to move with them but once you get used to it it’s so nice! she also had such a bouncy trot that posting was really difficult at first. and her canter was so big, that she would get so excited and start galloping all over the arena and wouldn’t listen to my cues to slow down. but i just love how when riding a new horse, the rider and the person find each other’s movements and how they work. it’s pretty magical.

[@teawrecks]

I am a Jurassic World fan and the fact that your name is Claire and your horse’s name is Owen just makes my heart melt ❤️❤️😂😂 so perfect! But anyways, he’s very cute and made so much progress!! Keep going! You’re an amazing duo!!

This video is amazing Claire and you can tell how educated you are in riding and knowing Owen. The progress is unreal. Some of the stuff that your guy pulled in the beginning I don't know if I could handle it. You did with such grace! Great job and I hope to see you at Rolex!

[@a.jaydeb.7441]

I've been here almost since the first video with Owen! It's absolutely insane how far you guys have come along! I actually got my first horse, a rescue, over a year ago! While we're going to be selling him soon, to no fault of his own as he's a little angel now, I'm shocked at our growth! I bought him, his name is Atlas, as this scrawny sad looking horse, we couldn't tell his breeding(now he's very obviously Thoroughbred) but it wasn't like he was emaciated. Within a couple months he was up to a good weight to start riding and ultimately this is where the issues surfaced. It was obvious someone had been nasty to him, he was fairly nervous on the ground and under saddle he was terrified, I remember how he constantly tried to bolt under me or buck me off just because he thought I would hurt him. For the first six months I rode him the fastest I would go was a slow trot, both because I was concerned about him bolting and I wanted him to trust me. I got thrown countless times and always had to be aware of exactly what I was doing so I wouldn't scare him, when I first asked for a canter, very cautiously, he was perfect and soft listening to me eagerly and within several weeks after that I trusted him to gallop full speed and come right back to me! Our trust has grown exponentially and my friends even call me the crazy horse tamer XD Even now he has trust issues with other people and fusses if anyone picks up his hooves but me, I've easily become his human and I'm sure he'll be perfect for anyone wanting a bit of work to earn the most loyal gelding I've ever known! And recently I bought a little rescue Arabian, he's estimated 5-6 years old, he came to me very, very skinny, almost emaciated, I'm thrilled to say he's almost to a healthy weight now! I know from his sale video he is incredibly green broke, not a buck to him and insanely intelligent, I'm hoping he'll be my forever horse as he simply has so much to learn!

[@elisethepilot383]

I love your channel Claire! ❤ I think your progress with Owen is great! He is such a pretty dapple gray!

[@susieok2732]

So much respect for how patient and supportive you are of this horse throughout his issues 💖 Great job 👌 You're less concerned about producing an animal to win you ribbons and stroke your ego, and more interested in building a trusting, understanding relationship and helping him to relax and enjoy himself and that is what will become the winning combination for you as a partnership 💖 Love this video. All the very best of luck in your journey together xox

Had the exact same problem with my horse. Now we’re eventing ! Most rewarding thing ever. That horse is months of your hard work and effort. Well done !

[@eringray426]

Awh, it’s amazing to see how you’ve come on! We bought our mare in January and she arrived as a unbroken 3 ( almost 4) year old cob mare! She’s now 4 (will be 5 in April) and she is backed and loves going out for canters on the tracks! She has taken it all in so well and we have started to school her more as the winter is here and it gets dark early. She is getting ridden 4-6 times a week mostly schooling and then hacks on weekends for her to relax! I can’t wait until we start taking schooling more seriously and getting her conformation nice and managing to get her on the bit in flatwork and then jumping bigger fences (we already pop little cross poles in the school like 1 time every 1-2 weeks) :)

Wow!…what a wonderful transformation! Owen is such a stunning (and clearly intelligent) boy...admittedly I have a real soft spot for greys! It was awesome to see your patience, commitment and hard work pay off Claire…it’s absolutely beautiful to see trust and genuine connection developing between you and Owen...huge respect to you girl…great work! ❤️

[@maura_o]

I know this is late, but you trained him so well in just a year? That’s crazy! You are doing so well Claire...I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you two♥️

[@taylorakins3321]

This is so inspiring to me because I just bought a horse in January, so it’s been almost a year, and we haven’t come as far as you guys, but I see so many similarities between her and Owen. When I tried her, I fell off her twice, but there was just something there that I couldn’t pass up. I fell off because what she does is she races at jumps and then she would just slam on the brakes right after. We got her home and she doesn’t slam on the breaks anymore, but she will still race at jumps. It just depends on the day. Some days she is completely relaxed and I can even trot her over jumps. But other days I have no control and all I can do is point her at a jump and hold on. The funny thing is she’s completely relaxed, almost lazy when we’re doing flat work. But just like Owen, she’s a very brave horse and will jump anything you point her at, but is super skittish with everything else. I can tell she really loves to jump, we just need to work on collection and control. But I would love advice on how to do that :)

[@abbyqueenan4127]

Wow! Can’t believe it’s been almost a year! You two are both champs!! You are absolutely incredible and have made amazing progress! He has really calmed down! You go girl!

[@carolynhope6795]

You are an absolute saint for putting up with that and working through it. I wouldn’t have had the patience for all of that

[@hs3244]

I adore this video. Its not all about "look what i did" its about look what the horse was thinking and look what i helped him to see. The fact you gave him so many long reins after a tough bit made me just swell. This horse could have been disaster for a lot of people, but he got you. Now look at him go!

[@sem1571]

This is so nice! Your patience for him to just relax during your rides is what everyone should think of and do! I live in the Netherlands and I know exactly what you mean with "a hot horse" it also took me a year to get mine to calm down but we did it and are even able to go on trailrides with just a neckrope now. Just keep going and you will reach every goal you could think of! As long as you let him take his time which I think you're doing really well!

[@TheKFinance]

My heart goes out to you. I know exactly what you're going through. The more you talked the more you somehow were also describing my horse. Right down to having to go to the vet, though mine was to rule out stomach ulcers. They're horses we have to constantly be one step ahead of because they anticipate everything. Some might think it's silly how happy you sound when you say you can get a walk. I have never identified with something more. To anyone else who's reading this and has a hot, excitable or nervous horse, this video can be your inspiration. Inter discipline training is fantastic. I get to jump, ride dressage, do fun trail competitions and occasionally work with cattle with my horse and its helped immensely.

Wow Claire I give you a lot of credit and respect for taking this beautiful boy on. You have done a tremendous job w/him - the change in his body really struck me from all your work - he is a beautiful smart and athletic horse w/great potential. You should be very proud of yourself and him. I think you may be selling yourself short regarding him always being e a hot horse - I think you are well on your way to him being relaxed and very rideable - he will always be "game" and brave - he is super smart he will get it - as you said he is beginning to trust and that's when they really start soaring in their work. Best of luck to you both and really enjoyed watching -thank you!!

You've done a great job with him. Congratulations!! Take it all as a learning curve. The 2 of you learning about each other and what works and what doesn't. You've accomplished a lot since you first started, take each day as it comes, learn 1 thing new everyday about Owen, and you'll do just fine. I have a lot of faith in you, as does a lot of your followers. Stay strong, keep smiling, and remember, There Has Never Been A Dream With An Expiration Date! All the best from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

I’m glad to see someone acknowledging and being happy with their horses growth! And to see it all in one video is even more shocking because the growth is so big over such a short period of time (I’m sure it felt longer up there on his back XD). I wish I had done this for my horse, he’s gone from feral to the perfect therapy horse and if only I could have that in a video. Anyway lovely job Claire!

[@live_lovedressage1680]

+Claire Eventing I think you’ve done a fantastic job with him Claire! And it’s only been a year! I’m literally almost in the exact same position. A mare was given to me that was “ridden but not broke”, approx 15 years old Paint (no idea where she came from or past training), and hadn’t been handled in 3-5 years. She was very skittish but FAR from dangerous. It took months for me to able to catch her without her being terrified. Every time it was like she was expecting something bad to happen or to be struck in the face. It broke my heart. Fast forward to now, she’s doing Dressage (believe it or not!) and is an absolute super star! We believe she used to be a barrel racer because this girl could go all out and make the tiniest circle you’ve ever seen! She had all the problems Owen did, VERY heavy (like you’re carrying their body weight), bolting off, couldn’t walk calmly, nervous, etc. The only difference would be that she didn’t buck or anything and stayed in the same bit to this day (the HS Sensogan French-Link Snaffle, 16 mm). **NOT meant to be hate, just two completely different horses :)** Now, we’re best buds and is an absolute pleasure to ride. It’s gotten to the point where she’ll do pretty much anything I ask but when my trainer or assist trainer get on, she’s not as focused or willing. Never nasty but “plays stupid” I guess you could say. 😂 All that you and Owen have accomplished has been a team effort for you two and your admirable patience! He is going to be fantastic in whatever he does! This great example of a horse that is going to be a super star but wasn’t “picture perfect” in the beginning. Beautiful horse and beautiful rider! I wish y’all the best and can’t wait to watch y’all’s journey. 😁

I think I left the same comment like exactly a year ago but my horse Leo and Owen are so similar it’s crazy omg. She’s really starting to calm down with jumps and I’m really starting to gain control.

Owen had so much potential, and you saw it in him and purchased him. And you both put in a lot of work to become a nice developing team. Keep on posting your progress. I love watching your video updates.

Good job, Owen is looking awsome can't wait to see what he becomes with more time. He's done a 180, amazing
