Horse Needs Rehab But Wont Stop Intimidating Its Owner!!

[@ginnychibbaor4578]

Amy should be proud of herself because she got the best help for her horse.

[@yellowrose9355]

A quote from one of our presidents, "I can make a General in 5 minutes. It takes a long time to make a good horse." A. Lincoln knew something about horses. I quote my dear grandmother who grew up in the mule, & wagon days of Texas, "Boys are like mules. You have to keep them busy or they get into trouble." I didn't know that my grandmother knew so much about boys.

[@peggythurber771]

The dapples! The stockings! The white streaks in his mane! That star! Might be the most gorgeous horse ever.

[@margaretenglish7351]

The critical A,B,C's no hand feeding, no sunglasses and look at feet! Dont make it personal and welcome every slide back as a positive. These are golden rules. I learn so much from these videos. Thank you ❤

[@margaretfleming3554]

Steve Young, one of our best equine exports!

[@ivydickson7596]

What absolutely gorgeous colouring that horse had. Amazing.

[@Ddax-td7qy]

I also was thinking, he's really cute! Maybe his gray pattern will wash out, but he has a fine head and neck and over all balanced conformation. Maybe I'm commenting too soon: haven't seen the "bully" yet.

[@Bekkocho]

@@Ddax-td7qy He appears to be a buckskin tobiano that's been clipped - likely due to the heat (in Florida, it gets HOT and humid)

[@pearl8753]

Ely looks as though he is understanding everything Steve is saying - and he is thinking - oh dear this man understands me 😢 he can read my mind!

[@louisegogel7973]

I think he might rather be saying, phew, someone who is taking the protective lead position, now I can relax and learn what is ok and safe and what is not.

[@dianed805]

That horse fell in love with you Steve

[@rebelsands1]

Yes! How sweet at 50:22 ❤

[@rebelsands1]

...and 51:10

[@gvb1212]

I like that Steve explains the psychology of the horses thinking 😊

[@Flower_Dragon_WA]

I would love to have had you to learn from many years ago when I was learning. I no longer have horses (am 72 and have some disabilities, or I would). I learned so much from trial and error, lots of errors, beginning with my first horse when I was a teenager. I was lucky enough to be able to think like my horses. You are fantastic Steve, and such a pleasure to watch as you love what you do, and do it so well. Onward and upward!

[@vintagelady1]

What a lovely, lovely horse, such unusual coloring, the bi-color mane, the dapples, and, oh, that peachy pink nose! Lovely head, too, I'd have fallen for him like a ton of bricks! You are right, he was hardly lame at all when you took him back to the stable for his gin-&-tonic! The movement worked the kinks out, just like with us, wher we need a couple of steps to get the bones moving! And he was so calm & lovely walking down the grassy alleyway, clearly thinking, "I don't need to worry about anything here, that's Steve's job, he's the leader & he'll do the looking out & tell me what to do if there's a problem."

[@dd3wc]

Brilliant VLOG to show how important the ground work truly is at building a foundation to allow one’s horse to see the handler as a leader. Hence, the building blocks of a trusting relationship. Thanks for sharing! Happy Trails! 🙏🙌✝️✡️❤️

[@melodiemonahan5373]

I'm so relieved to hear you weren't in Florida during the severe storm. So awesome to know these horses and their owners are okay, too.

[@johnnorman1793]

You make it look so easy Steve, when i know damn well it's not. Nailed it again, regards from Australia

[@Wendy-bd9zu]

What a beautiful stables ❤

[@KhaosArts-5qw]

I found this channel weeks ago, oh my gosh Steve is so good with the horses😭 🤝

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

And the people. Not sure if it's horse people in general but he gets buy in from the owners too. Like they actually practice and follow through with what he's taught them and the horse - so awesome!

[@annpalmer7470]

I have been watching and learning for years. Because each horse and each owner is different, Steve has a whole array of insights and techniques. But what is consistent is his extreme patience skill and good nature. He and Tonya are a great team and quite entertaining as well.

[@kimberlynads]

Beautiful place!

[@caroljean1623]

Love how Steve was able to address his core issues and help the owner to realize what he needed. Good job Steve!

[@carolepierce8059]

He trusts Steve so much, it's lovely to watch this horse be who he should be nice.

[@angre6422]

The body language is so good with this training 🤩

[@ealexeenko]

- All makes sense? - *shakes head *😂😂 what a brilliant moment! All the best to Amy and Elijah! ❤ Well done, Steve and Tanya! Happy to hear that you're having a great time! ❤

[@margies5906]

It's great that the training that is available on the video for other people who maybe can't afford to repair the mistakes. They've made in the past through just playing Sympathy. Or big heartedness that they think they're trying to be extra loving to a horse and give them the wrong Impression. Steve really helps people to develop such a deep relationship with their horse. Opportunities to go Deeply into a true relationship with the horse..now you're speaking The language the most familiar withere was is what steve is teaching . It's really quite exciting To observe

[@patriciafarran9742]

Eli fed off of your confidence. What do doctors tell us when we have aches and pains in our joints and muscles? Exercise! I think Eli will only get better with conditioning and consistency. Another great video Steve, thank you.

[@juliastrzyga2274]

Excellent video and amazing horse! 🐴 ❤️❤️Steve's ability to connect to horses and being understood by them is simply wonderful!

[@pearl8753]

Oh dear, hand feeding, I can see why you always ask it as the first question 😢 and you always explain with patience the reasons why it is not a good idea.

[@birdlover7690]

Have to say never thought that hand feeding horses with treats would cause behavioural problems. My own pony used to come up to the fence outside our kitchen window (approx 6pm every night) and whinny for our attention. We would say his name and he whinnied back. He knew his name. We would give him veggies ends instead of throwing them out cleaned of course, and fruit as a treat. He was great with apple cores so they were never wasted. He loved his healthy veggie/fruit diet. A good bit of hand feeding. Just a way to bond with him.

[@Goldenhawk583]

@@birdlover7690 But you do understand what Steve means, right?

[@birdlover7690]

​@@Goldenhawk583of course I do. I have been brought up with horses since the age of 6 years old in the early 60's. I am now 66 years ago. Life is very different now when it comes to horse care. To deal with behavioural issues is a new experience to what it was in my days.

[@Goldenhawk583]

@@birdlover7690 very true, I so wish I had learned this when young:)

[@jenanddakota]

​@@birdlover7690I bought an 18 month old filly and when I went to view her she was pushing at the fence and barging into every person and coming into their space for treats. It's a very bad habit to teach, especially to youngsters who should be learning that they should respect the space of those with authority. It was a tough lesson for her to learn that I didn't allow that after a whole year and a half of learning throughout her developmental stages that it was ok.

[@SG-vu4qy]

Congratulations to Amy & Elijah for having you work with them. What an amazing journey with tons of success for each day going forward. Thank you Tawnya for getting great footage! What a beautiful place!

[@mtngrammy6953]

Amazing what good leadership will do to change behavior! It takes all the responsibility off the animal and they can just relax instead of reacting! Job well done (again!). Hope we get to see an update with Amy.

[@tammyspurdle9208]

Thank you for this very interesting video. Lovely to see the horse looking peaceful and contented in your hands Steve. All the best to Amy and Elijah.

[@SicilianMare]

It’s beautiful to watch you work with these problem horses

[@whoareyou1332]

That is one gorgeous looking horse. And I love watching Steve forge beautiful relationships with all the horses he meets. I’m always impressed by so many horses seem to understand Steve’s vocal cues as well as his physical ones.

It's not about dominance, it's about good energy. Beautifully demonstrated.

[@Bekkocho]

Marvelous job you've done, Steve! Even though Ely had some big feelings - frustration, soreness, confusion (as to what was expected of him) - you made him into a much safer horse, so now he can start to feel better. Amy seems like a very lovely owner, I'm sure she will continue to help Ely and you've given her some tools to do so! :) Really nice video, thanks!!

[@denisemiller4083]

If you think Clearwater looks bad, you should drive up to the Appalachian mountains in Western North Carolina. After Hurricane Helene it’s apocalyptic up here. Some people still don’t have public water and electricity, while others who lost homes are living in tents. It’s the worst storm in US history and we were hit hardest here in Western North Carolina.

[@DawnVandyke-k8m]

Eli is one gorgeous horse…. Beautiful! ❤ THANK YOU so much Steve Young, I just adore your videos you are a horse whisperer! TY Tonya, I so love your comments because you watch literally EVERYTHING, with your camera. 🎥 Every little animal that passes, everything the customer says…etc. you are as important as Steve! Love love watching ❤!

[@hunnybmommie06]

Yall were down there just a few weeks after my sister and I released our mother's ashes down on Treasure Island. We left 5 days before the first hurricane (Helene) hit. Stay safe on your travels! I really enjoy your channel and have learned a lot about handling horses!

[@Boyland8692]

Love your sunglasses tip Steve I purposefully don’t wear my sunglasses when working with my horses and they are all avid face watchers. So I encourage everyone to try it.🤩🤩👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺

Great video Steve & Tanya. Beautiful horse and hopefully his future with Amy is a far more positive one. What a beautiful part of the world ❤️🐴

[@irljacinta]

Is it only me…..😂. As you are Chatting Steve I got a fit of the giggles……as I got distracted as your head bobbed about and I got glances of what my warped mind saw as either your or Tanya’s knickers hanging on the doors hook behind you…..😂😂😂😂 it’s being Irish is my excuse…..grin. Please get some down time while away and just relax. I LOVE Florida and remember the first time in Tampa I couldn’t believe the sand being so soft like talcum powder. Is is devastating what had happened, friends of mine have lost their home and business. The photos don’t do justice as to how bad it was. Anyway, ENJOY and relax please as you both work damn hard, and bring your Charlotte something special home….she is such a gorgeous girl. See you soon.

Stayed at The Monaco this summer for my first visit to Clearwater - such a cute kitschy place. Sad to see it like that. I hope they recover and reopen! Loved the video, Steve!

[@saltpony]

A few of those unrequested forward motions was Eli his relieving pain on the near hind. He likes to stand with that leg cocked, poor fella. He’s definitely a horse that needs mental stimulation to make up for the lack of physical. I think he fell in love with you Steve. Thanks to Tanya as always for the great video!!🧡🧡

[@kimkim4793]

I also see that the horse is lame

[@Savage_Simerion]

Pretty sure his left rear is sore. He rocks it forward every chance he gets.

[@carilariviere505]

Left hind, you can tell as the left hind forward reach was shortened up. Pretend yourself having a sore left foot, you don't reach as far and you get off it quickly. Easier to tell with only 2 legs! Good try tho.

[@leahnichol6665]

Left hind is what I was thinking also. Thank you for asking and receiving an answer. 😊

[@leo_s-z8g]

Thanks guys, really helpful. a bit more practise required for me I think 😂

[@leelindsay5618]

I love seeing and hearing the care Tanya has for Steve and how Steve is always responsive to Tanya's input. Its quite a wholesome partnership. Makes you wonder if Eli was making himself lame with all his shenanagins hopping and stomping into her space...causing him to get less exercise and the few times he does get exercise, then his jumping around could have been causing his pain. The more he worked quietly, it helped him to have a more gentle and effectice exercise.

[@almirakline6070]

Another great training video. ❤ Thanks.

[@shel.b.1090]

Brilliant as always steve. Xxx

[@debtompkins5363]

one of the hardest bad 'habits' to change in a horse, is a horse that has decided that his person is NOT the boss. because no amount of change in the horse's behavior will make it work, without the person has to become a different owner who the horse will respect.

[@redshorse]

Excellent !

[@JessicaStinson-og1rq]

This hurricane was one of many tragedies that happened here in the eastern and south, eastern part of the United States over the last few months there’s so much damage, but I am hopeful, judging by what happened to New Orleans many years ago that it will get rebuilt. Yes, some of your memories we will be gone, but it will be a place to build new memories. I am hoping one day to be able to come to one of your demos when they are in the United States, although to be quite honest with you, I’d rather go to Wales or Cornwall that also has been, some thing I wanted to do my whole life. Thank you for all the great videos.

[@lineprestkvrn9014]

I love how You understate his expressions. "His expression's not great" as the horse is serving up insults and degrading language to You. On a web forum he'd be blocked for saying all that. 😂 Ignoring unwanted objections and make him move until the penny drops and he's changed opinion to "UhKay, this is unwanted here, uhkay.." ❤

[@lesleystadames2810]

That was another fabulous training video. I can’t understand that people don’t realise the correlation between hand feeding and pushing on you. He did very well and I thought he was less lame after being worked. Is this something that is going to be healed?

[@carilariviere505]

Beautiful, dapple grey paint! Never seen that colour before, just gorgeous! And he started out a dark tan/white! That must have been fun watching and wondering what the end result was!! He just needs a bit of leadership.
