FLICKA DAY 4 & HENSON IS MIC’D UP!! *warning- you may get dizzy *

[@darlenebracken5482]

That girl wants to do what she wants, when she wants to do it!! But...Henson's got her number!!

[@fleetskipper1810]

What beautiful work. Henson knew just what to do to get her thinking in the right direction. Lovely to watch.

[@danielrunkle815]

Patience for sure!

[@kaceecasto5400]

I would buy any horse this man started. How a horse is started sets their foundation and attitude for their entire life. Once it's in there we can always come back to this foundation for training and or correcting problems created in the horse by humans. Horseman like Henson are pretty hard to find. Please just let us keep watching him and learning. No clinics please, just let us watch and learn. He's getting much better at communicating what he's doing too.

[@stargazer8339]

I like Henson's respect for these beautiful horses. He can read them so well! Flicka is in good hands.🌵😊

[@paddlefoot5692]

Glued watching this session. Henson reads the horse so well and keeps in total control. Can't wait for the next one. How Henson works with such calm and patience it is fun to watch :) I was expecting her to blow up a couple times there, but Henson rode her out of it like nothing too it .. Fine horsemanship there. Enjoyed! PDR! #1 🐎🤎

[@JanetGailey]

I love Flicka’s mad girl attitude and that Henson recognizes it but doesn’t get angry, not that he doesn’t get after her, he even seems to enjoy it!

[@HighDesertHomestead]

I have trained a lot of horses like this filly in the past. You can turn anything into fight with her pretty quick. Having someone else push her was a good call. She just needs a job.

[@susanford6926]

If I had a colt I would want Henson to train it!!!🐎🥕🍎👍

[@lesliewatts2878]

Great vid Henson. Lots of patience, repetition, and tough direction. I'm always amazed at the insights and your anticipation. Man you can read your animals well. Have a Blessed and enjoyable Christmas. Good health and prosperity in the new year, folks.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Sure will! Thank you for watching!

[@mpgfoo]

I love that I can hear you both!

[@nannyblue7927]

I just love the respect you guys have for these horses

[@robindelano5810]

Anybody remember the show called (my friend Flica) well back in the day in the late 50s and 60s there was a series that came on TV called my friend Flica and it was a wonderful show that I enjoyed so much about a horse named Flica🙃

[@mamaswrongagain4555]

I enjoy watching a horse think. Even if it’s brief and intermittent

[@TrishCanyon8]

Awe Henson, I love watching your great technique. 👍 beautiful.

[@pamelamoreno4657]

My friend Flicka, not so much today. You go Henson. I could tell by her tail she was going to be a horse today. She is like reading a book. Unfortunately, Henson wrote the book.

[@jeannettegiles5869]

She said “I learned it on the left side, no need to do the other,”. She picked up the right lead nicely. Henson is so quiet and he eased her on around. Taking her back to her comfort side and then back to the right. Next ride she will come back strong maybe a little reminder, operative word here is “she”. Mares learn quick but are not always receptive for change. Good job Henson sure so enjoy watching you ride. Glad you put a mic on him Danielle💕🎄💕

[@davidstalnaker3334]

Top job their guys keep living the life aways love watching top hands at work may the Lord always keep you safe

[@lindamusso4437]

She stoped swishing her tail as she got calmer

[@robertmarino2158]

The little jump try , that Hensen does with foot in sturp , look so cool , he does make this look fun , stay safe !

[@rhondaserges5136]

Love how Henson sits down in his saddle .. he ain't coming out.

[@mandyshaw4097]

That mare will hurt you.. Ya know what I mean. Love seeing y'all work them. Love and blessings to you all guys ❤️🌎🕯️

[@modocroughstock5700]

🤔😂🤣🤠

[@LizNicholsArt]

She's looking in better shape, been getting more feed.

[@bobinge4031]

Yep... she's loves her some Henson.

[@busterbailey370]

Great video keep them coming please

[@JohnHilburn-xb1cp]

Yall have a great Chanel I can not stop watching. And you say you are old look good for around 36.keep up the great work you and your team do great work.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Haha, 😅 thank you for watching 🙌🏼

[@shbroneswygert6243]

Yall did a good job with her

[@dragonflyhill5748]

Good job

[@timothyadrian5313]

Good progress today she’s going to be nice

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

We agree!

[@stanbartow9228]

I love the looks of that philly! What send is she out of? She looks like she will have her share of speed. Another great video.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

She is an outside horse, not sure of her breeding. Thanks

[@chiplover3240]

That would be a funny name for a horse Mike Check.😀

[@taggunter975]

She will be a very nice horse she has a very good head about her

[@ellisritz7654]

Really good video

[@DonnaLightfoot]

I was thinking before Henson said it she sure is a Swisher, And you can really Tell she's Not of a P.D or JHeart Bred/ Bloodline, Henson will get her straighten out tho , Got my sister watching ya'll 😉 We enjoy watching! Thanks for taking us along! . Hope Czar is doing good!

[@jillpickup9981]

Amazing to watch x

[@maryduncan618]

I love watching you train a bratty horse , its very interesting to watch you show her the way ! Boy howdy she is stubborn !

[@feleciav2077]

Nothing like the sound of horses hooves.

[@rivert3dove254]

Awesome Flicka reminds me of a gelding I had he liked to try and bite my boots when we would start the day. Enjoued it thanks

[@thinkinoutloud.1]

All your horses have good muscleing. So pretty 😍

[@bonniemott9119]

Love watching this horse being worked brings back memories of a long time ago with me and mine. Looking forward to see how she comes around just got a little bit of a hefty spirit. Thanks so much for all the time and trouble you go to to make these videos really enjoy them and appreciate it so much have a blessed day. How isCzar doing good I hope praying all goes well he's such a beautiful animal most marvelous color I've ever seen he's like gold and produces that too doesn't he wonderful.

[@endymion8672]

Flicka, Loki and a few acres of land in Northern Arizona 😄 that's all I need for Christmas…

[@MsBinski]

I like her! She sure has an attitude but at least she’s a thinker. I kept expecting her to bite Henson’s leg though 😂

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

That’s why we like fillies!!

[@aretha511]

Thanks for bringing us along. Happy Holidays.

[@nancyotero774]

Flicka reminds me of one of my children who was oppositional defiant. As an adult her strong will has served neglected and abused children well who are in the child protection “system”. Flicka can be a fantastic horse!❤

[@jgambrell10]

She’s gonna be gritty with a lot of heat

[@bigrigger5617]

Looked like she was going Western there. Henson got her straighten out

[@rhondaflynn3]

Such patience!

[@henrycolby4473]

Happy 4th of July

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Same to you!

[@donnadowning3563]

She definitely has an attitude. Henson can wear her down.

[@gretchengardner2753]

I have a cutting mare started out like Flicka. Always a challenge but around my 5 year old GrandCowgirl she's like an old plow horse

[@thunderstickhomestead]

Feel like a fancy dancer spinning round and round so fast lol

[@kaceecasto5400]

Got a lot done in this one session. Nice little mare.

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

She got a little spice! She's sharp, she just still has her own little agenda, seems. Henson's smooth, though, she'll figure out she doesn't need to compete with him.

[@Yokoshibadog1504]

Great training video, you 2! Thanks!

[@bradherridge2875]

Should name that horse Tesla!!

[@mariusrusu202]

good morning 🖐️🕳️

[@mikehenry6284]

Wife..... She's a little ornery still. But I know Henson will work that nonsense out of her. There was a couple of times I thought she might break in to, but actually she just kinda crow hopped, with a slight kick out. I got a tad bit nervous for Henson a few times (knowing he could handle her with no problem) but it's like Danielle said, she's not like breaking a Monster Colt. Flicka has some attitude and a bit more sassy about her. Maybe stubborn is a better word, not sure. She kinda thru her head up and swishing that tail, she was annoyed. But Henson just kept on working those circles..... I really enjoyed watching this video 😃 Can't wait to see her next ride, I hope you can video it also. Great job 👍 Henson, I know she'll come around. Blessings to all at the PDR 🙌 Jennifer

[@allmeatchame6244]

Spoiled brat are the words

[@bobinge4031]

She's full of witt and desire. She enjoys Hensen for his friendship, and commoraderey. She loves him.

[@carolyn1696]

No she doesn't.

[@mikemontgomery7337]

I'm not sure about all that love stuff !! I think she just realized she met someone that's not gonna put up w her spoiled ass anymore !!!

[@racenail9086]

Flicka doesn't even like herself if there is any work invoved!

[@sarahmarks7082]

Flicka is pretty young lady 🩰 who has a lot of promise. Don't know what happened to her prior to coming to the ranch, but I pray 🙏 that Henson and the family can help her get to a better place 😘

[@leroytipton2340]

Flicka appears to me to be the most challenging horse I have seen Henson start.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Or that we’ve shown… she’s actually pretty easy

[@kyliezimmerman2552]

Shes pretty smart and picks up things quick. Always work on the side they not good at. She good at doing circles lol

[@tycox2444]

Henson How do you know when a colt is ready to be ridden outside of the round pen for the first time? Well Done Henson.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

He said when he feels like he’s not going to die 😂

[@art-is-lazy4509]

Dang. That's one stubborn horse, reckon she might be back a few times for rerides in the future. Flicka could be a good little earner for the PDR, as long as she doesn't hurt someone.

[@dianeglimes3169]

Uh uh a little buck but she’s blowing and snorting good signs

[@danfields3341]

Good stuff as always 👍

[@lizweber4996]

I wanted to suggest it the first time i saw henson Work wirh her, but id have named her bones or bonehead... because of the marking of her blaze... and because she thinks she can cheat her way out of work.

[@irisproctor6635]

Is she an outside colt?

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Yes

[@geoffreyfox60]

You got snag their but you can handle her

[@sandyjordan2003]

She doesn’t have a J Heart bred temperament for sure.

[@Sarahbetterlatethannever]

I’m just curious as to how many rides she has had? From the past videos I was waiting for that rodeo.😂 When y’all first put her on the channel and she was so sassy, my moms name came to mind. She was a spicy/sassy Czech woman named Mildred.(everyone called her Millie) Made me laugh. That last little crow hop at the end. She’s smart and Henson will turn her into a great horse I have no doubt. She’s definitely in the right hands. How’s Czar? We’ve been praying for him. Even if you would never be able to ride him he would be a great stud. But that’s not the case… he’s going to be fine. ✝️🙏🏼❤️🎄

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

That was the second time Henson got on her

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

First time he got on her was very brief, just basically sat in the saddle and let her feel his weight. Today he asked for more.

[@kenparham5747]

Flicka is a mess! Could you give us an update on Czar and how he is doing?

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

He’s fine thank you

[@Sizzlesride]

sun 9AMish TEXAS What is Flica’s history? Pampered pet? Pasture raised? ?

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

No idea. Doesn’t matter

[@hancockjason8758]

It looks like to reins but he is only one rein used.

[@grantvaneeuwen7901]

I'm sooooo dizzy now.... its like I had too much tequila.

[@candacewheatley9415]

You can see she just looking for you to a mistake, was after watching on your own stock you sure can see a different s..

[@angiegranberry3366]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Areyousayingidontknowmyname]

Considering how spicy she was earlier in training.... She actually is less naughty than my mare was getting her to Canter. Only real time she was showing attitude :). In the end we took her to the lunge ring and i reinforced my friend who was riding her. So he would try to work her into a immediate canter and if she wouldn't i would come in with the lunge whip. It worked. Forcing her to do it in the arena was just causing her anxiety and making her strung up about going in the arena. Sometimes you just have to backtrack and go around a different way to get to the same place.

[@johnbrownlee7641]

I know this is 3 weeks ago but, how is czar?

[@michelsupply4012]

Oh...😯...so you have to charge the horse everyday ?🤔🤨🔌...😁👋🇧🇪

[@racenail9086]

This is what we would call an opinionated mare and with rougher treatment than Henson's patient handling she would have really have Pi$$ed by now. For so many people she would never be much use but I can see will give her the best chance to be useful.

[@67charged]

Let me squish my hat down first, He may have known what to expect 😅

[@carolevandermissen8407]

Henson absolutely knew there probably would be a variety of negative reactions Flicka would have work through during his first few rides on her. That’s why he used the methods he did to prevent her from being more reactive during this stage of training and to start her thinking process. He did a wonderful job. 🎉

[@67charged]

@@carolevandermissen8407 well my comment was more tongue in cheek than serious. Because I definitely knew how this filly may react and I know or at least believe that Henson is more than qualified to be working this filly and fully aware of what her reactions could be, therefore the squish the hat comment. Calm down, there is no need to defend the gentleman. I agree totally with his capabilities and his training regimen. Maybe people need to start relaxing and not so quickly to be negative. God bless and Merry Christmas

[@NotKev2017]

@@67charged I saw nothing about Carol Vander Missen's comment as being negative. Re-read it and slow your mind down. She wasn't trying to pick a fight.

[@trickedouttech321]

The one thing I don't like is spurring the shit out of her. I don't use spurs until the horse understands Que's they are a tool for refining not teaching. Plus you get them dull to the spur when you kick them 1000 times in 30 min. No, I don't think you are way too hard with them nor do I have a spur problem. I just don't use them at this stage, that is not what they are for anymore, your boots should be plenty at this stage. Spurs are for refinement, I have noticed even on your trained horses you have to be very loud with your feet, that might be why. This is just my observation. yes, I think you are a great horsemen but we all can learn and do better. Look when you first start a horse you have to be loud with your feet, so that is not the right time for spurs that should come much later in training. Spurs should be a tool to let you be very light with touch and a clean signal, after the horse understands the que's. This IMHO

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Thanks for your comments. There is a reason Henson rides with spurs the way he does. Maybe you should ask him why one day.

[@titanbuck7]

If you taught that horse a one rein stop and them kiss and ask him to move forward while ya king his nose around you are accomplishing in the negative direction ruining your one rein stop and having to create more excitement than necessary in order to over ride the whoa you already installed. Sigh. If you want to risk your health, keep training this way. Try making sure this horse knows voice commands and what giving to pressure means, including pressure on the sides. Personally, this is why I ground drive first so the horse knows left, right, whoa and go before even getting on.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Sweet! We got an expert here! Where’s your channel so we can all learn the one and only correct way???

[@bobinge4031]

Ok...ok. I'll buy her.
