Steve i grew up with animals my father thaught me how to read horses and dogs. This video of yours made me cry so beautiful watching you talk to the horse one of the best Sessions I've ever seen. Wonderful. You and the horse look like one item coming together. Heaven. I'm 88years female. Thank you you made my day precious.

[@annamcknight2573]

I think this is possibly my favourite video. Most horsemen don't show the really challenging behaviours on film. They prefer to show just a little resistance turning into perfection. I have been at the rough end of horse behaviour. I just managed to escape a stable with my life - and that was luck. I have had a stallion try to smash me with his front hooves, having already broken his owner's pelvis in the show ring. I think it absolutely vital to show just how dangerous a horse can be. And then maybe people will stop spoiling their horses. Deep respect for your willingness to be honest.

[@BeRightBack131]

I agree. I've dealt with a spoiled stallion before (former owners created the problem. I just fixed it). I believe that horse is possibly the reason for my current back problems today. He would strike with his front hooves, bite and draw blood/ rip skin off, he knocked me to the ground once and proceeded to rear and stomp me in the middle of my back, etc. He was definitely a rough one to train, but I succeeded. He turned out to be a beautiful, well behaved horse with a lot of love and care to give.

Glad this gentleman has it in spades! Kudos to you Sir!

[@Giddyupggs]

Hi Steve. I want to say thank you. I'm a professional horse trainer myself and going in softly and firmly and taking the time it takes is so wonderful to see. The 'make the wrong thing hard and the right thing easy' leaves such room for scope and I am sick to death of seeing clinicians wow the crowd by bullying the hell out of a horse until it's standing still, locked in place while they stand on their backs, crack whips, blahdy blah blah. It does my heart good to watch you work and I think it's wonderful that you and the team make these videos without trying to sell something. Cracking good job mate and God bless you.

Time and learning your horse’s “language” are key. I wonder how shocked owners are when Steve tells them they need to spend hours standing in the stall teaching the horse about personal space. Love it!

[@jenniferlehman326]

As a former Paramedic, I've responded to so many calls to people who tried doing these things and got seriously hurt. This is very dangerous. As a trainer myself, I always take care by wearing a body protector. But I always do the same as Steve does. I handle foals as well. From the time they are 24 hrs old to when they leave me. When they come back for backing, they remember a lot of what has already been put there by myself and the owners. The foals from this year have already been seen by a farrier and been rasped for the first time. To keep the angles correct for continued correct growth. The owners I work with always appreciate what I do with the mares and foals. I also work rehabbing injured horses, and retraining racehorses into riding horses. Great video once again Steve!!

[@AnnaMaria-zm8cv]

Teaching a foal basic skills is not the same as replacing the mares education by a human. We humans are humans and not horses, therefore we can NEVER replace the mare, no matter how good we are with understanding horses. Sometimes there simply is no other option, but just as with puppies, some people take on to foster an orphan foal with the idylic dream to have a human oriented super easy going horse later on. And many will get just that. But some will not. Forgetting that a horse is not a human, and that foals are much alike toddlers and need strong hand sometimes. Young animals are depending on their caretakers for survival, and are therefor master manipulators. They outsmart us on survival skills, and thats why the toughest of all will believe they are the leaders in their urge to survive if the current leaders fail in their opinion to keep them safe. Because that means death so they take over. This instinct is creating the spoiled kids, the snarky puppies and the dangerous horses.

[@jenniferlehman326]

@@AnnaMaria-zm8cv True. But you lay a good foundation for your house, and I do the same with the foals. And the owners keep building on that foundation. We never try to take the place of the mother. What I'm trying to do, is avoid having issues like this in the future. And if the mare dies during foaling, I always have a mare on standby that the vet can medicate to get her lactating so SHE raises the baby. I do, in that case, will bottle feed it colostrum that I keep frozen and on hand for emergencies. The vet I use is less than 15 mins from where the mares are that I take care of from September, through foaling, until they leave at the end of March. But I never try and take the place of the mother. She's the one who will discipline the foal and teach it the rules of the herd. I can't do that. She, and rest of the mares, are the only ones who can do that. Stay Safe. Jenn. 💖

[@judykeck5108]

I handled my foals from birth. I had some colts that would test their boundries, but as John Lyons said, You have 3 seconds to convince them their going to die. That doesn't mean hitting them. Just scare the crapp out of them. Had one that was nippy. Yelled and scared him so much he fell down. Never nipped again. He was maybe 4-5 months old. Loved all my babies. My stallion was such a gentleman, at a show, was stabled next to a mare in heat and just nuzzled her through the bars. With a show sheet on, a farrier thought he was a mare. Loved that horse and still miss him. He was the 3rd born on our farm. Still have ore first born. Oh, failed to mention, they were/all Arabians.

[@jenniferlehman326]

@@judykeck5108 Exactly!! A stallion CAN be taught respect and boundaries, but it has to be instilled early. The colt from this year started mouthing on the lead line, I put a stop to that right quick!! And as he's going to be kept intact, and I know the owners well, they will continue with his education in the same vein. 3 seconds and before the count of three comes, the correction will be given. Only because he is going to be a very tall and athletic horse. He's bred for Eventing. So his sire is 17 hh, and his dam is 16.3 hh, so he needs the foundation started now rather than trying to convince him later. He's a good boy though. After that correction, the Farrier came out, and rasped all 4 foals for the first time. He didn't move a muscle except to pick up the requested foot. And the farrier I use, with foals, will give them breaks. So that they know they're doing the right thing. The last one leaves on Tuesday the 31st of March 2022. But I've had mom since September 1st of 2021. This way the mares get to know me so I can be in the stall in case of trouble. And our vet is less than 15 minutes away if I call him in the middle of the night. Like I did Christmas Eve Morning and at 238 am. The mare delivered 3 weeks earlier than expected and I wanted the vet to be there to back me up in case something was wrong with the foal. But within half an hour Miracle was on her feet, and within the hour nursing. 💖

I'm always concerned about the owners and horses falling back into the familiar relationship after you've left and the bad behaviour continuing . It's difficult for the owner to remove the emotion from the training regimen to get the needed results from this challenging horse . She seems very soft hearted and willing to make excuses for the horse . I wish her well and safety .

[@areyouavinalaughisheavinal5328]

That's the thing, though, it's not a challenging horse, the owners are the problem. She's not making excuses for the horses, she's making excuses for herself it's her that needs more training than the horse does. It's always a people problem, never a horse problem. why is the horse an orphan and why are there a lot of orphan horses? does it have anything to do with people taking foals away from mothers to try and imprint them? Foals do better without people interfering with the mothering process. A mare will teach her foal how to be a respectful horse.

[@Growmap]

@@areyouavinalaughisheavinal5328 There are horses that are orphaned because the mare died during or shortly after the delivery. It does happen. And, yes, sadly, there are some orphans created by humans, but not typically to imprint them. (That can easily be done while a foal is with the dam.) But every orphan would benefit from having at least one other horse to teach it manners.

[@louisegogel7973]

It seems to me from the way she was working with Steve in the ring, that she was absorbing and working hard to take into herself everything that he was teaching. From the after clips they shared, if you watch them, it seems to me the owner made huge positive changes in her own awareness and behavior. I think it is not so easy to learn what Steve teaches all at once when you have never known about such possibilities. We can all be encouraging each other with each little step forward we take. His kind patience is inspiring. Have any of you ever tried isolating a muscle in your body, or simultaneously pat your head and rub your belly, or tired to learn all the subtle aspects of practicing Tai Chi? In the beginning it can be overwhelming and confusing. Even starting with one single aspect requires a lot of your attention until it becomes part of your muscle memory.

All the geldings have known each other for years now as I adopted them from two families who rode them all together quite often. My new boy Fuzzy is a bit pushy - I got him for my husband who is new to horses. I’m helping my hubby become accustomed to being around them and my pushy horse is learning manners at the same time. Steve’s lessons on horsemanship are pure gold, so essential, so valuable. Thank god he’s passing on his wisdom for all of us to learn from.

I have been bitten by a horse once and it really hurts! Can’t imagine some allowing it to go on 50-100 times! Hopefully, with the knowledge gained in this session a rehabbed horse won’t have to be put down!

[@Growmap]

Training is always the same whether for horse, dog or human. Be consistent is what you ask; reward what you want; and most importantly DO NOT reward bad behavior. (Many parents need to learn that one!) Horse bites can do more than hurt. There are Thoroughbred stallions that have taken people's arms off - some of them more than once. Biting must NEVER, ever be tolerated. And should be immediately corrected the very first time it is tried.

[@bloomingaccents]

[@Growmap]

@@fludrbywest3886 Yes. The worst issues I've seen in children have been caused by parents rewarding their worst behavior to get it to stop. That only makes it way worse!

[@Growmap]

@@bloomingaccents Many people have horses who have never had the chance to observe them in a herd and see how they communicate. It isn't really that the owner is troubled as just not knowing how to establish leadership and keep horses from becoming the boss when they test you. Many horses keep testing their owners. But if no one ever showed the owner how to respond you end up with situations like this one. But this horse also didn't have a mom or herd to teach him manners. Orphans raised alone are always more likely to challenge people like this.

Steve, this is by far one of the best videos you've shared. Not only is this one of the best training sessions that you've shared, but additionally, one of the most important. You are such an inspiration to so many people. I have learned so much from watching your videos. There are a multitude of reasons why horses develop bad behavior. I definitely believe that how a horse is reared contributes to their behavior, but I also wonder if how a horse is foaled/delivered, has an adverse impact on their development, both physically and mentally. I know how incredibly busy you are, but if you get a chance, I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts on this subject. Thank you again for all you are doing to better horses and owners. Best wishes to you, Tanya, Charlotte and the rest of your family...🐎❤

[@Growmap]

Hi Heidi. I know you asked Steve; however, with how busy he is I know he might not have time to respond to every question. It is important to understand that foals learn manners from their moms and other members of the herd. So if someone has an orphan, the best thing they can do is get a companion horse for it. And later a small herd would be even better. Orphans that are raised alone can grow up believing they are the herd stallion. And then they can start acting just like this horse acts. As I'm sure Steve has said many, many times, to safely handle horses they have to accept YOU as the leader. When handling stallions, unless they will accept the human handler as their leader, they can be extremely dangerous. And young horses always have at least one time when they decide to take on the human for superiority. It is critical that when that happens, the human move the horse and not let the horse move them. Once a horse has your number and knows you are afraid of them, things can go downhill and escalate into dangerous territory. I've had horses since 1978 and at one time stood six stallions, five of them Thoroughbreds. One I briefly tried to manage was outright dangerous. Then and now, I run my horses as a herd. And surprisingly, my colt decided to run the lead gelding entirely out of the herd this spring. And he's a quarter horse! The lead gelding is a much larger Thoroughbred. But he wasn't willing to fight (as a gelding) so he lost his place in the herd. That is another issue with many of the horses Steve goes to see. They are confined to stalls much of the time. And that can make even horses with good dispositions more difficult to handle. Every horse would be better off in a large pasture as much as possible. It greatly improves their relationships with humans!

[@fludrbywest3886]

Awesome information👍🏼🙏🏻❣️

[@AnnaMaria-zm8cv]

@@Growmap true. Im glad my stallion grew up in a stallion herd, until now, he turns 5 and has to leave for training. And to be gelded so he can continue to live in a herd without restrictions. Many stallions here can live with other stallions or geldings here their whole life because growing up in a herd is sacred. Even some studs, the stallions in my horses herd are also used for breeding and its no trouble to return them into the herd, they will neggociate for an hour or two when they come back from their 4 week honeymoons and then all is settled. Its so important for their minds to be able to argue with other horses. If they cant, they will choose us.

That was so funny when Steve was standing by Bruno talking about quarter horses. How fast they are, how nimble, faster than any other horse, and Bruno's eyes were closing and his head sinking lower and lower as he fell asleep.

[@Kholoured]

hes right, finally someone that actually knows what they are talking about!! im in the USA and was raised with AQHA. Quarter horses were originally considered Thoroughbreds way back in the day. However some people started to notice that these 1/4 mile sprinters made good ranch horses and thus the Quarter horse was born, which later became the AQHA (American Quarter Horse Assoc.) There are a few branch offs: Paint horse now known as the APHA (American Paint Horse Assoc), PHBA (Palomino Horse Breeders Assoc), ApHA (Appaloosa Horse Assoc.), and the IBHA (International Buckskin Horse Assoc.) all of these registries allow for Appendix (Thoroughbred) Crosses of 50% or less becuase the Quarter horse is a thoroughbred when you really get technical lol same for the Quarab. The thoroughbred had a lot of arabian breeding in the beginning. so the Arabian begot the Thoroughbred the begot the Quarter horse. Any mixes of these 3 make very fast hot horses usually. the Anglo Arab more so then the Quarab, the Appendix being the least hot and more common know in the AQHA world. Most "QH" are Appendix now to add height as the traditional QH was very short and stocky usually under 15hh right now everyone wants taller so the TB adds the height and were starting to see QH in the 16hh+ range. thus is also adding height to the Appaloosa, Buckskin, Palomino horses now.

If you look close you can see what type of sport the QH is bred for, halter (bodybuilders), reining (powerhouses), cutting (cowsense) etc. Its an interesting breed. Riding a cutting QH is weird you just cant believe how fast they anticipate the cows movement, its like rodeo until you got this cowsense too.

@@AnnaMaria-zm8cv agreed the QH is a very versatile breed and have even started making a name for themselves in the hunter ring for that calm quiet attitude. And I am with you, it would have to be a SPECIAL horse for me to ever buy a QH again. I'm happy w the warmbloods

[@dtulip1]

I always used to think that it was because they were 1/4 TB :)....but this makes much more sense :D

[@kayBTR]

Anna Marie, what breed would you say is the calmest, least reactive horse for trail riding?

[@smallone9825]

Awe this is one of my favourites Steve I think Corrine the lovely lady she is and so determined I can see alot happy horse days with her and Reggie, another great lesson Steve your the bomb 🤩

[@dianesteels6680]

I love accidental finds! What an amazing transformation. At 13 I helped at a , Iocal stables (lot of work for little amount of free riding time ) had a 17hh carthorse bolt along the main road foot trapped in stirrup I had half a mile clinging underneath til he slowed down then I fell in road. Gravel from road in my eye permanently damaged. I got back on though . Now 61 and not ridden for years. Its made me want to ... I knew about this sort of technique but never seen it done. Corrine has done amazing too looking at the update. Thanks now subscribed and as its weekend I might have a duvet day tomorrow and start at the beginning with your videos. At last something I can enjoy x

[@brianswinscoe5412]

My goodness what a difference you made. He realised when you gave him a little flick that you are the boss. Just amazing. Eileen and Brian

[@barbaracollins5605]

So impressed with this patient, experience trainer who loves and understands and respects horses! A heartfelt thing to see.

[@saraquarry3440]

me saying out loud "Good boy!" when he made his own mind up to step up to the mounting block properly. Wishing all the best for the future for Corinne and Reggie! 😃

[@julia190]

Fantastic video. Always go back to the basics- respect personal space, horses WANT a consistent, honest leader. Just like children - boundaries are essential. And they may test us daily to see if our boundary is required. Training happens every time we step into the space with our horses. THank you Steve.

[@robertmartin4821]

Great result. The owner is a very brave, determined lady.

[@river1790]

That flick on the nose at the beginning let him know there where boundaries. He’s one smart cookie

[@ToddBeal]

Truly one of my favorite videos, Steve.

[@gellrb56]

It’s amazing how fast a horse can learn.

[@freadadillon4071]

A stunning transformation. One of the most unusual horses I've ever seen. Looks like he's been dipped in chocolate so gorgeous.

[@debjordan4399]

You are a fantastic teacher for the horse and the human.

[@dianetandy1757]

Absolutely gorgeous love C’s. Hopefully on the up for him and his owner now and many years of fun times ahead

[@gypsyqueen3806]

I LOVE that you’ve turned the camera sideways!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Now we can watch it on our TV and see every little movement and change!!! You are so awesome!!!

[@louisegogel7973]

What a situation to work on! What a wonderful progression with so very much learning for all of us humans! And thank you so much for changing the filming style to landscape! It helps so much and I hope it is just as easy for you to film this way. According to Rick from Talk Like a Horse, whose horse sense is superb like yours, but who could learn so very much from your people sense, giving treats causes horses to “disrespect” you because it is as if another horse has given their lush pasture spot to him and given him dominance, so he thinks he is dominant after that.

[@suzannechance5876]

Well done! Loving the new camera. I've wanted to subscribe but too often it was difficult visually. You have such excellent content! You got me, I'm licking and chewing with ears foward!

[@SavvyConnemara]

Even as a lifelong learner of horsemanship, I am learning so much from you. My eyes are more open to see what my pony is doing. A lot of seemingly minor issues are made worse by the owners not having learned to watch their horses closely and react appropriately to them. Owners, myself included, get wrapped up in conversations with friends, or our own thoughts for the day. The great thing about being with horses is learning to be present in the moment, being aware of what the horse is telling us and not anthropomorphizing. Horses are constantly trying to figure out who is strong and who is weak. Your methods are appropriate for the situation, your "firming up" does not cross the line of aggression or violence. Your ability to keep your emotions in check, look at their feet so they don't feel challenged, is very effective and shows in the improvement and relaxation in the horses you train.

[@mk6945]

Oh my Gosh! You totally got me with the loosing your finger trick!!! I was horrified for a second and then totally broke out laughing with relief! 😂 You are so funny. Love your videos. I watch them to learn, but also so totally entertaining.

[@louisegogel7973]

Ditto… 🥸 ugh he got me 🤭 😬on that little (not even so funny really) joke. And yes, what a relief (we care about him!) that he was just joking, but please, don’t do it again … too scary to even put in anyone’s thoughts! I do enjoy your sense of humor otherwise!!

[@Dianelee999]

Me too! Bad little boy Stevie 🤨

[@liznutting7558]

I like the natural relaxed style of your videos. Both technically and the camera persons help. Stay the same!

[@carinslayton3147]

Incredible outcome!!! Well done by all and hats off to our favorite camera girl!!!

[@sarahparkes8288]

Horses do not have many friends..They need to be led... Thank you Steve for making me hoof blush pink happy xxxxxxxxxx

[@nannieannie2099]

I was only 12 minutes into watching this and just had to find and watch BUCK. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I am 75 and haven't had a horse since I was 5 but I just love watching your videos. Have told my sister about you, but she won't watch you as she says she would want to go out and get a horse, which, unfortunately is impossible. Keep up the great work and posting videos. Peace, Love and Dreadlocks, Anne from Queensland, Australia.

[@melissajaynetucker4073]

You are truly amazing people and a beautiful family to boot , I have been watching your videos for a while now and your talent never fails to prove how incredibly passionate and dedicated you are about not only helping horses but also their owners, giving hope wen all hope has gone. Your training is completely void of aggression no matter what is thrown ur way. You really are a special person.

[@kaygibson1842]

Best channel on utube by far.. Great job Steve, you rock.. Tanya, I bet you could tell us some scary times you've had to hold your breath for your fella.. Hi from NZ..

[@karylgammon8760]

What a talent you have! Amazing how you control a horse. So many training videos, you are the best! You are a pleasure to watch...

[@alikawhite6903]

Wow beautiful work, he actually looks like a different horse, he’s prettier, calmer, more peaceful

[@marcymartin2840]

Such a beautiful horse! I love his markings! I'm so glad you took this one on Steve! Now he is well mannered to go with a hunk of a body and mane! Simply Beautiful! Marvelous job to all of you ❤❤❤❤

[@snowcreek7156]

What a lovely woman for not beating the horse, (as many might do, losing patience). This was human created and human fixed. Lack of a mare to teach him manners. Saving a foals life by hand rearing is admirable, a few of mine ended up very spoiled foals. They needed extra attention to not curb the become pushy attitudes, all went on to be wonderful partners and show champions. Bravo to this lady for seeking help and being open to this man’s lessons.

[@ealexeenko]

I'm so grateful to KZbin for the recommendation! I'm in love with your channel! ❤

[@juanitalantang8636]

What a change of attitude, gorgeous boy!!

[@sondrasmith2691]

Beautiful horse! Thanks for the new chance at Life that you gave him and Owner, together.

[@kathywilliams5732]

I love what has been done here. Thanks Steve. From showing us how willing a horse can be to join a confident leader is so necessary. So many orphan types have learned the bad habit of being the boss. He was pretty relieved to get clear and concise answers of what was expected of him.

[@deborawendt5954]

I really like the filming when you are behind the horse so I I can see the expressions of Steve and where his eyes are on the horse or are not on the horse.

[@tinnwhistler7629]

Hands down, my fave video yet! Well done 👍🏻 Team Young! And, Corinne is a fast learner😊

[@jantebeau5916]

Do you imprint your foals at birth? Anyone could walk right up and pet the foals that were imprinted. You are a great trainer sir. I had 10 paint horses and 20 foals in 33 years and a stud that was gentle as a kitten and loved every minute of my time with them. A gentle hand is always rewarded in their attitude. I put the trailer with the door open in the field with grain inside and the foals would go in all by their selves so no problems when they were ready to go to their new homes.

[@jesscvideo]

He is a good looking smart horse, a character with a lot of personality. Steve you did a great job with him 👍

[@MysticNightCalls]

Wonderful changes in the beautiful boy.

[@MegF142857]

Lots of Quarter horses around where I live (QH). Lots used for trail riding / pleasure riding. There also cross them with Thoroughbred breed for "Appendix QH" & many of the barrel racers are that type with bigger strides & taller height. Most of the Paint horses in USA are basically QHs with pinto color. This trainer has such great timing. Really enjoy watching him work with the horses. -- Get this horse checked by vet too for any pain issues, as he didn't want to be saddled. Make sure the saddle fits & he doesn't have any back issues.

[@janewilliamson3130]

Three cheers on getting a super relation with your beautiful horse. WOW Congratulations for all three of you Reg included

[@dianneholden5429]

Such an amazing difference in her confidence now!

[@debbiehollis5711]

There is a kind of magic in what you and accomplish with horses .Its a gift and I'm so glad you're using it .

[@janewilliamson3130]

It’s the speed with which you correct him. My little morkie(7lbs) dog likes to watch you. She’ll watch your whole show and shakes her toy when the horse misbehaves. We are both so impressed with your training.
