He wants to be good but he don't understand

A good horseman can read a horse and adjust to what the horse is telling him without adding their own bias. The life of the horse depends on the trainers ability to do this.

He has a really good mind. He has the intelligence that a horse needs to survive. Now he needs to learn how to read people and trust them beyond his own inborn caution.

[@shashakeeleh5468]

Finally! I found out about where you get your saddle pads, and what you like and don't like in saddles and why. Thank you, Mr. Anderson.

[@rivert3dove254]

When I lived in Farnley Nv, there was a herd of Mustsngs that would come and visit my horses. The Mustangs were always checking the ground, they would even stump the ground and chase the praie dogs out of their towns. Showing the Mustangs where the whole were. He is a really good looking Mustang

[@terrifrye2803]

For a rather green mustang, he’s not as reactive as I would have thought. His awareness and mind will will be a benefit in his future training. I learn a little something, with every video. Thank you for sharing and caring. ❤️

[@MsKK909]

I know nothing about horses, but for some reason, I really like this horse

[@pattirockgarden4423]

Nice looking, calm, not spooky. Good boy! 😊 Great lesson for us viewers!

[@jadam-2024]

I appreciate the courtesy you give some of the younger or in this case “wilder” horses to just be an animal. There’s an art to letting them be an animal and be themselves which will ultimately build their confidence as opposed to breaking them down for every time the mis-step. As humans we tend to think everything should conform to how we see it and it’s just rarely the case in nature. I wouldn’t expect a kindergartener to act like a 5th grader.

[@ltningstrike]

Watching Tim with Kiowa (and knowing Kiowas personality and quirks ) in this video, Tim absolutely nailed Kiowas personality and how best to work with him. He allowed Kiowa to be himself and build on that.

[@brittanycarr423]

He's gorgeous

[@dianemanson7756]

Beautiful horse. Really nice head. So glad he is getting the right training & care. Should be a really nice horse when done.

[@faithfarmforever4795]

looks like he'd make an amazing dressage horse..those legs look long and beautiful even though he is clearly not a huge horse..what a nice boy he is!

[@brigittegeorg]

This is one of my most favourite videos, I just LOVE it. So wish I could come over from England and be trained by you. I feel much more confident since watching your videos, especially as we both have breathing concerns. Really, really love this video. Thank you. ❤

[@lindachicette8354]

He is really nice!

[@Laura-rt2zu]

He is beautiful!!

[@erinrae5119]

I love the sturdy build of mustangs compared to the build of a quarter horse. We have a mustang, so of course I am biased. This guy is very handsome.

[@ltningstrike]

I’m biased too. Kiowa is such a sweet boy. All I’ve ever owned were QH. But I sure love this guy. He changed my mind about the mythical mustangs.

What a good looking mustang! There was a mustang in the same barn that a family member owned that was ridden a lot and he still would shy or panic if he heard coyotes. He was not as handsome as this horse. Fireworks freaked him.

[@shirlrogers3721]

I LOVE my Won pads! Never cause a sore or rub…promote sweating! Highly recommend

[@susanvandeneng5231]

I never heard of them, Thanks for the mention, I'll be checking them out

[@donnac.1609]

Nice Mustang! Very pretty face and nice eyes.....seems pretty smart about things. Not too spooky....just aware. He is not really comfortable with the saddling, so maybe he did not get a lot of work done over the training time. It's good that he is giving you subtle signs so you can find where he needs the most help! Yep...he gave you a good sign under saddle!

[@ltningstrike]

@donnac.1609 He had 3 months off but he seems to have remembered a majority of what he’s been taught. After all his groundwork was done professionally he was ready to go under saddle but trainer was having health problems and could do his first rides, and i wasn’t confident enough to get his first rides myself soI had someone get on him who was a little too rough with his hands and legs. He may have remembered what happened those first 4 rides. He never bucked and was tolerant but it wasn’t the best experience for him. I wanted what was best for Kiowa and that was to go to another professional who could make those first rides good experiences and knows what he’s doing. I like everything about Tims style. I’ve watched him for years in the reining world (and win)and through his videos. He knows his stuff and I’m confident he will find what Kiowa will be good at.

[@donnac.1609]

@ltningstrike Kiowa is in good hands with Tim. Those first months of training are so important and time off sometimes can benefit. Looking forward to watching your horse grow and mature under Tim's guidance. I follow a few Mustang trainers, and these horses can be amazing!

[@fallbrkgrl]

He's beautiful! Ok, coming from someone with zero experience (other than watching videos)... From what I can tell (seeing him from a distance), he looks like he has a very friendly face, seems to have a lot of try, and wants to do the right thing. I'm betting that he is going to be a really good partner. Gonna enjoy this guy. Thanks Tim! ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

I'm thinking the same thing.

[@ltningstrike]

He’s a good boy. He tries to please. He’s smart as a whip and I taught him tricks at liberty before he was ever prepared for saddling. Once he understands, he remembers what he’s taught.

[@fallbrkgrl]

@@ltningstrike Oh! That's cool. Are you his momma? If you are, you have a gem. Really hoping Tim shows more of him.

[@ltningstrike]

@@fallbrkgrl yes. I’m his mama ❤️.

[@shelm-b8p]

I adopted a wild mustang from Litchfield less than 3 weeks ago. She trots on the lounge line the same way as this mustang. I find that interesting. Otherwise my mustang is super chill and is a fast learner. I am really looking forward to see more from this mustang. BTW I am a first time mustang owner but ride since almost 50 years.

[@ltningstrike]

I’m a first timer too! The TIP trainer matched me with Kiowa. He’s everything she said he was.

[@art-is-lazy4509]

Re watched this, he's definitely my favorite mustang, love that deep chocolate colour and for wild caught, he's well mannered. Make a good ranch horse and those hard feet mean he don't need shoes. Looks like he's got a Spanish heritage ?

[@wakingohiomama9110]

Kiowa is a beautiful boy! Very sweet tempered his owners have a good one there especially when youre done with him!

[@donnac.1609]

This horse is doing pretty good.....some rough spots here and there put pretty adaptable overall. The owner is going to enjoy this horse!!

[@peterneilsen6249]

Morning guys .the owner of this mustang sent him to you in great condiction.

[@ltningstrike]

He’s very loved.. I’m excited to see what my little guy excels in. Tim will find it.

[@Mamatriedx3]

What a smart kind horse. He is going to end up really nice.

[@Hope-lr7rf]

Nice mustang! Looks like he has a pretty nice trot and cover some ground. He seems to have some decent basics to build on

[@Teaally1913]

Thank you for showing how to be patient with training and ground work. They really do just want to please.

[@juliehmidmo]

I thought he did real well for it being his first time being worked by you. He is just unsure of a few things being asked of him. He has a lovely , intelligent face.

[@comesahorseman]

Nice, considerate work! 👍

[@allysondoerfler8688]

Nice horse and great educational video as usual! 😊

[@KingsMom831]

Cute little gelding!

[@corinneguest]

For a BLM Mustang, he's pretty relaxed about his surroundings. Not loving the uneven floor, a few sessions of ground work will no doubt show huge steps forward.

[@ltningstrike]

Me too me too! He’s a pretty special little guy.

[@aileen694]

Great video! We can actually see him understanding, slowly but surely. For a mustang, he's a pretty cool cucumber! Something about his hindquarters looks a bit "draggy" or weak to me... maybe just needs more work?

[@4hoofs4ever007]

He’s awful pretty. Seems a little spooky, which I think is just typical of a green horse. I have seen other videos with long lines on a green horse and it is done the same as you are doing. Great video. ❤️

[@NNLBC]

thank you, good advise that answered some of my questions

[@janasharooni5203]

I love this arena, I wonder how big it is. Its a great size

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

It's 60 * 90

[@donnac.1609]

Think the movement of your arm slinging the rope at his hind legs is what he reacts to...otherwise he seems pretty level.

[@dhurd4099]

He looks promising but gosh his mouth or the bit seems to be bothering him throughout the lesson. Reminds me to check a strange horses mouth early on.

[@Morkwon1001]

Please pull that saddle pad up off his Withers into the gullet of the saddle. This should be done for all horses not just this one I see many trainers that don't do that the pad needs to be pulled up off his Withers into the gullet on the saddle to help free up his shoulders

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

The pad is off his withers. There doesn't have to be a big tent to not have pressure.

[@Morkwon1001]

I see only one thing which I've seen before you're not pulling the saddle pad up into the gullet of the saddle off his Withers

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

I train world ranked horses. They would not achieve what they do if there was pressure on their withers. You are person who wants to show off how much you know but in the process actually reveals how much you don't know.

[@ltningstrike]

If Kiowa was uncomfortable, he would most certainly let you know. He’s the most honest horse I’ve ever owned. In addition, there was no weight on his back therefore, there’s no need to provide wither space. Im pretty sure Tim knows what he’s doing and I trust him. And since I’m the owner, it is solely me that should be concerned if there were cause, which there is none.

[@Lehcar227]

I wonder if BLM horses are more anxious because they’re used to living in bands with other horses. Maybe they need to socialize more with other horses than the ones that are born domesticated. And you’re right Tim young people so take time for granted. It dawns on all of us not to if we get to live long enough. 😂

[@sarafinasegale9537]

You need to trim mane and shortened up the tail...... When a mustang is in the wild, the mane and tail are least likely to show care.... Communication with leads, draw reins and other must be more direct.....Mane should be very short.....

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

I don't know what background you came from but we NEVER cut manes. Ever!

[@sarafinasegale9537]

@@timandersonhorsetraining well, maybe you should start.....Do you understand communication with tack??? A mustang is very sensitive to human touch....... Verbal, body language, smell, grooming.....Cut the mane, as suggested, to increase communication with the horse... Cutting the tail of this wild mustang after purchase is required.... If you have problems maintaining clean, trimmed tail and/or can not provide this horse a fresh start after many months on the range, well then you should not own one.......Best of Luck ...

Good job👍 but you need to be in better condition with that young horse training 😁

Trust me, he’s in good condition. He chased me all over the arena giving me a lesson. Riding is also a lot of work, a lot of core strength is needed. Multiply that times the amount of horses he works daily. He could outwork me any day and I’m younger.
