Dangerous Horse Handling - Me Hating On Men In The Horse World - He Was Probably Trained By A Woman

[@tyrowolfe3034]

Honestly watching this it makes me think "God I wish I was buying that horse. I could drive the price down so much because of the handlers mistakes and get an amazing horse for a great deal"

[@fienno1]

Hahaha good thinking!! :D

[@samiamisme]

Tiro Wolfe ...he's gorgeous!

[@stephaniemathias2343]

also a very good point about the fence. a girl I know had a horse that pinned her between a fence and himself, broke her arm because of how she had it but it was her own damn fault. she likes to think she's all tough shit but doesn't realize the power horses have. she tried to have the horse put down for it but my dad took him instead. absolutely GREAT horse. she just didn't know how to handle it

[@rango9404]

Stephanie Mathias Yeah I hate when people think they are the shit just cause they cause pain to a horse. The world needs more people like you and your father.

[@stephaniemathias2343]

Coby O thank-you. It wasn't the first problem she had with the horse so most likely the horse learned that it could push her around. He is truly a great horse we've never had a problem with him

[@annchap1]

Thanks to your dad for saving that horse from the idiot.

[@stephaniemathias2343]

***** I hope somebody saved that horse

[@Phoenix.Sparkles]

Good the horse wasn't put down, no horse deserves such an end, damn that girl.

[@kassyhoffman4535]

I'm a girl, and to be honest, I don't mind the things he says. He's not picking on every single woman in the world, he's making a generalization about things hes seen and personally experienced. I have learned so much from this man and from a few other known men and women in horse training. If you don't like things that he says, stop watching his videos.

[@kellyplumb7024]

Takes a stable rational brain to recognize that, ⭐⭐⭐ good to see my sister kind with a rational brain 🧠❤️🤟☮️

[@easterriot1916]

Cool of you both to recognize the topic of the video and not turning it into politics. Me, personally, I find his tone funny and tongue in cheek, but I also see that the gentlemans tone could be seen as provocative..

[@TbandyMusic]

I have to say I li e Rick, I love they way he cares for his own herd and if you just listen instead of getting offended you will find that he is speaking the truth...its refreshing. Also hid laugh is infectious and it always cracks me up. Keep up the good work Rick!

[@KristaChristian]

I'm a lesbian feminazi. The stuff he says about women infuriates me, but I just try to ignore it and I get it--Generally speaking, women tend to be more emotional, due to biology (more oxytocin circulating through the body than men.) This can cause a natural reaction to be more emotional when dealing with horses and sometimes treating them as human children instead of thousand pound prey animals. Being physically smaller, sometimes we feel the need to resort to methods that might leverage our control (e.g. stud chains and metal bits.) This is just my personal opinion. I'm not a neuroscientist, but I listen to a lot of episodes of the Huberman Lab podcast and do a lot of reading about neuroscience. I actually learned something new by watching this video. I never knew about the hip lock. Being open-minded, ignoring the stuff I don't like and picking up on the stuff I do can help me learn extra tools and methods that can help improve my horsemanship. He is pretty detail-oriented and observant of horse and human behavior. That's why I watch his videos.

[@TheOddSusie]

That horse is like "Man, what the fuck do you want from me??"

[@SpiritBear12]

Not only is the fence a little too low, the horizontal boards were nailed up on the wrong side of the posts. They should be on the inside of the posts in a round pen. Anyway, that's one sturdy looking horse! He looks like he's got some draft in him. He's packed solid. Too bad he's horribly confused. No fault of his own.

[@debrahmccabe7477]

I don't think the horse looks confused at all. She looks like she's full of pent up energy and just needs to burn it off. If he lunged her, she'd be like a rocket moving around him and could potentially hurt herself.

[@richardhowley3734]

SpiritBear12y

[@Phoenix.Sparkles]

Lol, the fence is pretty awful

[@TheBarkinFrog]

He's a Tennessee walker. He's trying to walk out (fast running walk) but the man can't move that fast. Watch how much reach and drive he has in his hind legs. If he were loose, you'd see some incredible action.

[@TheBarkinFrog]

@hg xob Wrong. That is definitely a Walker. Some lines are heavily built. You wouldn't see that kind of movement in a draft cross. The breeder I worked for had a few that were that heavily built, and moved just like that.

[@dadbod2greekgod3]

this is 50% good entertainment 50% good content lol Rick is the king of horse trolling

[@bw173519]

Rick, I want you to know that I'm a woman, and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. It's been a long time since I was crippled, and all I can do now is feed a horse a carrot while I sit in my wheelchair. But when I was a kid, I had horses, and I didn't have anyone to teach me anything. I somehow blundered through, no doubt with the aid of a battalion of angels! But you can learn a lot just by watching your horse, spending time with them, and seeing how they react. What you say is just common sense. I made plenty of mistakes---you're teaching me just how many---but my little mares were kind and forgiving. I owe them so much. This is a great video. I learned about not wrapping my hand through the halter when I got my feet stomped because I was back by the shoulder trying to lead my pony instead of up where I should have been.

[@jamesdalton3082]

I think Rick is a great teacher, but I wish he would do more to show what is RIGHT in his videos as well as what is wrong.

[@lynette50]

What do you think was right?

[@yasmincheeseboro4860]

Some videos have no right. There is no point in him talking about good things because they don’t need to be fixed. The bad things do. If he doesn’t mention it, he finds it to not be a problem. But in videos like this one, this guy is putting himself and the horse in a dangerous position, and he is not doing right. He is wrong out of ignorance.

[@annem1816]

If you find a video of someone actually doing it right he will comment on that too(that they are doing it the way he would). There’s just not many people out there who’s doing it good, who is filming it too.

[@OliveDeuce]

James Dalton he does ,

[@Galemor1]

Watch Warrick Schiller instead.. He's going to show you how to do it right..

[@CyraWolfire]

That poor horse! He's just confusing the poor horse it's not fair, and if the human gets hurt they blame the horse it's not fair some people should not own these beautiful creatures ;-; Also, I'm a woman, I LOVE your opinions, if other woman don't they're offended because they do things the wrong way and your not afraid to say your mind, I love you Rick your amazing!!!! And thank you so much for the contest opportunity, the halter, lead rope, and reins the whole set is amazing! My die hard Clinton Andersons fans said they liked mine more then the Clinton ones, it's beautiful and so soft, thank you thank you you allowed me a chance to own my own tack thank you so much! Also can you do a video on lunging? And just starting of ground work? My buddy isn't used to it and I'm wanting to teach him it so I can hopefully have him learn his gaited walk and foxtrotter again with cues. Have a great day! ^_^/

[@suzanneirwin8447]

FeminNazis.....ok that made me laugh. I am horrified by 2 things: 1. is the way this guy in the video is handing this horse. I am no pro but when he runs backward he is drawing the horse into him and as you can see the horse struck out at him twice (playful or not it will still hurt). 2. that people are more offended by the name calling than they are by the way this guy is handling this horse. Rick has always spoken this way. And IF it makes you think before you get near a horse it has served its purpose. I am a woman.....I have done some of these "stupid" things he talks about.....and I am willing to deal with his manner (remember nobody is forcing you to listen to him) because I believe that I can learn valuable things Rick's critics

[@terrybarreneche7388]

I can't even watch that guy handle this poor horse.

[@mollycoffman8478]

I have a very crooked pinky finger that was broken holding a halter while leading as a child. Learned my lesson.

[@juliehanson6158]

I'm a 73 yr old female and your remarks are cracking me up. Yes a lot of women want to treat a horse like a puppy dog. I had to give up my horse riding years ago but I still think you are so funny. I love coffee too.

[@finngamesknudson1457]

In many ways training horses IS like training a puppy. (1) you have to set limits and enforce them (2) positive training works far better and creates a much stronger relationship and finally (3) you spell love “time”. It takes time together and time training to build relationship and get to know and respect each other. Sure they differ significantly- but first step is to understand an animal.

[@margritneuenhagen6950]

This is torture for the horse and total confusion. Someone should let the guy know just how wrong he is handling the horse. I truly feel sorry for this horse, having such a stupid man around him, when he could have been so nicely trained already.

[@Faith-wr1pb]

Rick, I have learned over the years that horses respond to gentleness and quiet voices much quicker and happier than force and pain. Even breeding stallions. I never work with a horse fresh out of the barn, They always get some playtime to get the kinks out - then we work. Keep up the good work!! Love your commentaries.

[@RevelationTwelve11]

WOW - What an impressive, magnificent horse! And what a shame to see it treated this way with so many confusing directions that it had no idea what the guy wanted him to do. I'd LOVE to see this horse with you and Buddy and Mr. T ... would make a great addition to your family, Rick - and I know you'd treat this great horse RIGHT!

[@RevelationTwelve11]

Yes, you're right - she's a Tennessee Walker, and her name is Walkin' Darlin'. I checked her out on the Saddle Brook Stables website. Just type her name into their search bar to see more pics of this beautiful creature! Something about this horse just took my breath away ... she seems to have a beautiful spirit too - who else could put up with that "handler?" LOL!

[@downhomesunset]

Lynn Plummer LOL they used this video to showcase the mare. Are they all like this???

[@jkishhabi]

This mare's third foal, is a nice looking filly and is for sale. Too bad I don't have a fit place for her. Hopefully, the people who run this farm are not this idiot in the video, as I would worry that they would mess up this mare's foals really badly.

[@marleyc.372]

Im a woman and I looooooove that you don't worry about gender when you yell at people. A lot of women who own horses can be dumb. Thank you for calling them out!!!!!

[@Kaefer101]

I agree with you Rick. The horse has too much energy and he doesn't know how to handle it. Poor horse. Stupid man. PS: I'm a women and no, I didn't teach him, I know better :0)

[@melissaabbey641]

7:30 to 8:30- you can see the guy has a loop around his hand also- he's asking to get dragged with both hands, one on the halter and one wrapped in the lead.

[@peytonk8015]

Can you stop talking about women getting mad at you for talking about them in your videos because a lot of people who actually want to learn about horses INCLUDING ME don't care and would love it if you just get on with the video and stop talking about your haters and barn witches. Thanks!

[@evimarioli3039]

If u like his videos and want to learn things from him then why do u still ride with a bit?

[@maseca2397]

I love him talking about barn witches and such. That's what makes this entertaining. He has personality and it's great. I love this guy. Course I love Donald Trump so that explains a lot

[@jj_hoolio]

If you learned from Rick's videos, that horse wouldn't be jumping in your profile pic. Rick has gone over the horrors of jumping horses many times

[@matthewnorman4567]

Agreed, makes him seem like a bigot. Smart with horses, but small minded..

[@feliciamichalik9322]

He confusing the poor animal and trying to make him like that

[@laurenalderman9660]

When ever im bored i like to troll around these videos and soak in information and then snicker at all the drama comments lol oh boy did i find a gold mine this time

[@yulialurye5948]

Love all your video. Can watch it again and again, over and over. Some people with 20 years of "professional experience" will not understand a horse like you do. Rick, you are the pearl in horse world . So much understanding and care not just using. Glad i found your channel.

[@joycefinn5403]

I had a horse that would try to walk up my back when I led her. My trainer (woman) was very harsh with her and jerked the halter down and hit the horse's chest with the lead rope. That poor horse was so scared of people. Me, being inexperienced and not knowing any better, I did the same. Later I found out how bad a trainer she was and removed the horse from her ranch. This poor horse has no idea what this guy wants him to do. Very sad.

[@cleoarcher6510]

It's never the horse, it's always the rider.

[@shadylady6863]

Rick, I need to thank you for everything I've learned from you. I started riding over 30 years ago, I've learned more from you and your boys than my past 30 years. I no longer use any bits, I've sold them to stupid people. My mare has never been happier. Her surprise baby, (when I bought her she was probably headed to the kill, had no idea she was pregnant. Also told she wasn't broke) will never have a bit in his mouth. I have him saddle broke and I'm beginning to ride him in a rope halter. He just turned 4 in late August. I was waiting for him to grow. Lol. Thank you again!! By the way, I'm a woman and pull up my pink panties! I found a place to keep my horses away from all the damn barn witches!

[@TeaCup1940]

You should have thrown those bits away. They are truly bad and probably no horse willingly wants them in their mouth. They should actually be made illegal so that people that want to ride horses do it without hurting the horse inside their mouth.

[@debbiewhite9711]

You are 100% right, a little training and this horse would be great. I feel bad for it because among all the mixed unclear clues He was still trying to find the right answer. Such a beautiful horse.

[@teenwolflover7067]

People stop saying Rick is "putting all women in a bad category" no. just no. He isn't, Rick isn't sexist. He is 100% right that women are main people who treat horses like babies even though they're not. It isn't Rick's fault that women get horses and pony and don't do research on something. And before people start calling ME sexist. I'm not, I'm a girl, I'm stating a fact like Rick always is. Amazing video Rick. #BARNWHICHES!

[@johsPha]

Most women are putting women in bad category, sometimes i am shamed to be a woman

Am a girl and I don't do this am not being mean to the other women but these girls these days don't have no common sense I no what to do when I horse bucks other women don't ugh am so angry 😡 lol love you rick

[@maiabeau1603]

Fnaf Lover 10744 my horse blue, we bought when he was 5, he was broke but not trained. I was 11 at the time and we were going around the school, I asked for a canter and the entire time I stayed on (about 3 minutes) he bronced like crazy! He turned inwards and I was now on his neck, kicked the fence and spooked himself. He went flying forwards and fell to the side and dislocated my shoulder

[@lilcrusty2161]

[@jeliarra]

All i see is a horse asking "What do you want from me?!" and a horse that desperately wants to RUN, play and be a horse for a while. Sigh, all about what humans want right?

[@jollyblaze1]

This is a Tennesse walking horse (probably a young one as in 3 or 4 years old) and he is probably trying to show her flat walk/running gate... BADLY! I agree that this abusive handler shouldn't handle any horse and I think it's a good example of what not to do. Obviously this horse is very very gentle by nature otherwise she would have shown him. Rick I like your video's but you shouldn't judge books by it's covers. I had a job in the horse world (jumping) but quit because I grew tired and angry of the massive abuse that is going on. mostly by man who think they can solve problems by strength or let the horse preform better by rubbing dieselfuel on their legs so they would jump better and shooting them up with tranqualizer so they can still handle the hurting horse, instead of propper training. also because there is a time pressure because owners want the horses to preform from nothing to the top in 3 months so they can sell the horse again for big bucks. it's called cowBOYing up for a reason. in the recreation world of horses I completley agree with you that it's mostly pink wearing girls who don't have a clue but on the other hand their trainers are often males, so who's responsable.... so I think it's an equal draw with stupid ppl who say they love horses. every time I see a new video I also hear more anger towards stupid ppl. or better said les respect. You doing a great job showing what can go wrong and why but ppl who don't know can't do well can they, and they will learn the hard way and the horse has to pay. What I miss in your videos more and more is telling ppl what they should do instead. the newest videos sound to me as taking out on ppl, poor horse bad people, but you don't tell anymore what they should do instead. please put that back in the videos so we can all learn from it aswell, for the good of the horses. I don't mind you issueing on ppl just don't let it dominate the video.

[@windfall331]

I agree- terrible handling - wonder if he had ever worked with this horse. He looks a little like my TWH- but bigger overstride.

[@loismeyer932]

If your are going to sell a horse like this, let him loose to run & buck out the kinks and have fun before you film him. You are right Rick....this guys is a dummy & shouldn't be doing this with a horse that has too much energy. Let him go play for a while....shesh ..simple fix! Lois

[@hendrikbteb2317]

I see the horse does all the best to read the signals of the guy. It's confusing the horse because of the intensity of the wrong given signals. The horse is willing to understand for sure.

[@monicamartin988]

God Bless you for giving grace to this horse's situation.....It took me 37 years to learn and always will be learning.....I think your great , ever heard of Stormy May ? I lost my horse of 17 years to a good life and he taught me so much.....people really need more information like this....And I've always said it's best to board at a barn first before bringing your horse home as you will learn from so many other peoples mistakes. On a good note and you have probably heard this before....It was Winston Churchill that said , " There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man." Monica

[@majorest8325]

Lmao, great video Rick. This horse is absolutely gorgeous.

[@roden70]

Is this a Tennesee Walking horse in it's natural state? It is so graceful and big! Edit: I looked her up and she's indeed a Tennesee Walking Horse broodmare for sale in 2019.

[@user-ug3qq4py3i]

This guy is great. Horses have gotten enough trouble from humans for too long.

[@gumbyrox1]

At the end 'this guys trying to show this horse off' If they really wanted to impress and show the horse off they should have given it a big open field to run and play to its hearts content. But yes I agree with you, beautiful horse made to look undesirable and unruly due to poor handling

[@lilyandwolfie1861]

The horse is stunning! It makes me feel bad when people are stupid idiots😒

[@lillyr9289]

my mare lives in a large paddock with about twenty other mares and geldings at a trail center. She only comes in when she is being worked or being fed then goes back out into the paddock. The only time she has been in a stall is when we go to the local show grounds for pony club. she gets to run and play and do whatever she wants and is very relaxed when she comes in, I don't believe in keeping horses locked up in stalls, they can't run around and stretch their legs. Besides, it's not that hard to just brush dirt off.

[@samskeyti__]

Thank you for letting your beautiful horse be a horse :)

[@PracticalEventer]

Lilly R same, I lease my horse at a stable where they have a stall with a run in pasture open 24/7 they also go in a large pasture with about 5 other horses.. There never in a stall locked up he has a choice to go in but there never forced.

[@downhomesunset]

I was also taught to never move backwards because you could trip on a hole and fall-and you will be under her hooves....

[@TheGruntski]

This situation is bad right from the beginning. The horse is making a point of keeping its head higher than his which means it does not accept him as the boss. Might as well turn around and go back into the stable. The high head also means it is nervous and upset. A normal head set is lower. The lead shank should be held loosely and the horse should follow his motions even though the person on the ground remains at the shoulder. Some time in the round pen free lunging perhaps. Also given the size of the horse it should be more relaxed - I wonder how it was raised.

[@danigleasongraves]

I'm a woman and I approve this message 😂 no, but seriously, I think your videos are hilarious and so very helpful! They really truly help me "think like a horse." Thank you for posting!!!

[@catlover1081]

As a woman who works with horses I laugh at what you say because of how true it is!! I just wanna say I've learned a lot from you! I've changed a lot of stuff that I do and I've become a better rider! A lot of woman riders these days are stupid! I try to ride like you as much as I can because what you say is so true and I wish everyone agreed with it like I do! No horse is bad! It's just stupid people! The only time my horses are ever in their stalls are to eat because of how many I have I don't want fights but the stall doors are ALWAYS open so they go in and out whenever they want! Your horse is dirty? So what! Mine walk in my pond and are COVERED in mud.... you let it dry, and brush it off! Big deal people! A horse is a horse, a horse will be a horse!

[@bluejay9940]

Reminds me of when people play tug of war with a puppy with a rope toy. But this puppy is wayyy bigger and it’s a metal chain instead of a rope. Very out of control and very stupid. If they just let him run around himself and show off his beautiful strides it would have been much more impressive. But they need to fix that fence to better contain a large powerful horse . I’m sure the guy would have no idea how to get the horse back since the horse probably rarely gets out enough and it would turn into a game of tag lol

[@karenspivey9420]

Such a shame-- a good-looking horse. There's plenty of land on this property, but no pasture for this poor horse?

[@4Mr.Crowley2]

Wow, Rick another great video and judging by the sad little "Rick you're meeeaaaan to wooooomeeeeeen" comments you hit a nerve! Hilarious. These so-called experts KNOW they are weak riders and poor trainers, and they are so defensive they project it all onto you. If they are so upset why are they here?!

[@AhYouKnowWho]

As a woman... I find you hilarious! And I agree with you

[@closeenoughproductions318]

Looks like he’s trying to make the horse do the Tennessee Walker gait or some sort of gait besides just a plain walk. Probably would have looked way better burning off his energy freely.

[@Katseye102]

Well you know there are some people....woman and man.......that just don't know how to read their horses! Not sending the right signals! There's a lot of wrong in this video I totally agree with you! Very sad.

[@Phoenix.Sparkles]

I can see why Rick always laugh at those triggered women, it is freaken hilarious, and they don't even get the message! People, stop trying to make everyone sexist, because if you used common sense, you would know that 90% of all people with horses are WOMEN.

Question? How do you stop a horse walking on his rear legs? Not aggressive. Just gelded, on round pen rest. Vet suggested walks each day no running. Unhandled 2weeks ago . Mini 9hh. Lots of other horses (mares)around so have to walk past them. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Yes the horse always pays the price for human stupidity, chains are failure with horse.

Aweful horse handling...THANK YOU Rick!

[@teresawort9124]

So I am a first time horse owner. I have now had my OTTB for over 2 1/2 yrs. Over the last 2 1/2 years my inexperience has led to me being hurt several times. Watching this vid I can plainly see why I was hurt. Keep up the good work Rick. This coming from a female English rider. I have the little pants, vest & helmet. Absutely no pink though ! God I hate pink.

[@nyxxexists]

Okay I am not hating but I am just going to say that most the time it is not about being a women or a man but like my trainer says most women think that horses just want love and affection and they do need love but they also need leadership and respect because they are herd animals and that is what they are born needing! Sure yo can love your horse and pet them and play with them and everything but you also need to give them rules so they know what you want, I find a horse that has more strict rules is a lot happier because they know what you want and know what to expect if they do something you don't want.

[@kimberley1449]

Beautiful horse, looks young. Love it when he practically squats and bounces up like LET'S play. Foolish leader who needs more training than the horse.

[@Boadsy]

I think you have some hangups, but you're absolutely correct about the common sense factor in not using chain and proper behavior in handling abilities for horses. But really dude, after a moment of making your point, you sound like a Dreamworks character. Uneducated men and women are fully why the animals take the blame when they aren't cared for properly. Thanks for the mostly informative vid!

i was always taught to never put ur hand anyplace a horse canot see it .... i lay a palm on there nuzzel n say "come boy" no leads no chains.

This horse should have been worked at liberty , would have made a huge difference

[@traviscrane191]

I think ur video was right on. And, very glad your not worried about snow flakes. Keep making great video's... I learn tons watching people who actually know something about horse behavior..

[@Kaycyd]

The main thing I was watching was how the horse was moving. Seemed to me it just wanted to play and 'prance'. I read a lot of comments below and saw people were saying it was a Tennessee walker. Perhaps that is what I was seeing? Beautiful horse. I would have loved to knock the guy down and just let the horse run and be a horse. I bet it would be jumping and prancing all over the place feeling its oats! A couple of times the horse reminded of me of how dogs get down on their front legs to play. This horse seemed to do that a couple of times and I just loved watching this horse move about!

Another informative (and hilarious voice over) IF ONLY everyone could take the time to get themselves well and truly GORED because when you 'think like a horse' EVERYTHING changes. Thanks again for everything you do for horses - I was taught as a kid by barnwitches and was a fully paid up member of the 'pink panty brigade' but not anymore...Buddy...Mr T...Rick...you are THE BEST 💙 💙 💙

[@dannettepeters1507]

I wish this good horse could move to Rick's pasture. Ha ha, Mr T and Buddy would love it!

[@sanniepstein1007]

You're right--she'd look splendid running free.

[@danrfc1873]

mate i agree with you totally, i ride racehorses and one day went to a livery yard, they had this lovely palomino horse and according to the owner he was crazy, stubborn and unbearable,apparentky TOTALLY UNBREAKABLE, i Bought the horse for 300pounds, after 3 days, 1day lunging, second day trotting and cantering on his back,3RD DAY he was jumping small jumps. all in the handling, BY the end of the week i sold him for 2,500 pounds. Unbreakablemy ass he was spoiled rotten by the woman.iv nothing at all against women but most women i say are far too gentle and give in too easily. this is my girlfriends page so its not me in the picture.

[@souixe112]

What a gorgeous horse. Shame it has to put up with a stupid human though.

[@loganpe427]

Rick I didn't realize until I listened to what you said in this video, how deeply meaningful you're information is! I'm gentle with animals just by nature but you're understanding is really impressive, especially with horses. Damn, I see this guy popping the rope & chain and my instinct is to beat his ass but you think about how he just doesn't know and I see you're right. It's hard to think about how badly people treat animals and have any sympathy for them. I gotta give you props for that!

[@skyrimluvr1442]

Rick Gore, thank you for all the awesome tips and information you give us, im very grateful for your video about the horse with founder, it saved my little pony because I was able to see the signs, I did as you suggested, changed her diet and she recovered, thank you so much my friend :-) :-) from walt&angela

[@kathyelm4572]

The poor thing is so so confused😪

[@CATherine001]

Amateur! So sad why animals are blamed for a person’s bad habits of handling

[@rachaelbesler3214]

What a sweet beautiful horse!

[@1955darcy]

I'd like to see this horse with proper handling.....I see a lot of potential in this horse to be a whole lot better than he is right now.

[@mightnightstrikes3]

Too bad about the handler or his so called trainer that horse is gorgeous.

[@evimarioli3039]

"He was probably trained by a woman"😂😂

[@ReleaseTheQuackers]

Rick, you make my day!!! I always get such a good laugh from your commentary! You are very horse smart and I appreciate that

[@HexenkoeniginVonAngmar]

I always have to laugh in you videos, but this time the video title took the cake xD

[@victoriahite7618]

Spot on....beautiful horse horrible handler ..gender no matter....

[@janlovett1887]

Omg! I don’t know how I came across your videos but I’m loving it! You are cracking me up! I’m lmfao! What I’d really like to see is you training a very green horse. I’ve watched downunder dude but I like your views on horsemanship. Anyway, keep it up! Your awesome! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheRindy84]

LoL Does it make me a stupid woman that I thought the horse was super cute. The fact that he's learned the lessons and seems to be really wanting direction and to be with the handler seems to say that he's a great horse. He seems to be making a lot of eye contact and I would even say hesitant respect wanting direction but he's all over the place because all he's getting is confusion. Poor horse. He looks like a real cutie. Just needs better direction. LoL

[@markwarnberg9504]

I Think the problem is that we have no hands-on teachers in todays horse World. It´s become the Blind Leading The Blind, where as the horsemen of yester years worked with horses everyday for their livelyhood and could pass their knowlage on to the next generation. This guy had no old-timer too show him the way and has to figure out how horses work on his own. Posting the Rick Gore Site to him could be helpfull if this Young man intends to work with horses.

[@minjarataylor5887]

Everyone getting offended by your gender talk, but I think it’s damn hilarious. People just can’t take that sense of humour, because they get too offended too easily. I tend to find those kinds of people the most egotistical, because they cannot take criticism and aren’t willing to learn how to better themselves.

[@82dorrin]

I LOVE your rants. I have never even owned a horse, though I have friends who do.

[@frenvandijk]

You made me laugh again. And sip your coffee....rofl rofl

[@ForeverYoungTattooCo]

Handler in the video must be a 10th level grand dragon 14th degree perelli black belt equine beast master.

[@barbara.hagofsky166]

I saw some real mistakes. That guy is going to get hurt.
