I empathize so much with the horse owner, and applaud her for seeking help instead of just dumping the horse.

[@Cwgrlup]

For sure. It’s not easy sticking to a difficult horse. I had the same experience with my 5 year old OTTB. Everyone was telling me to sell him but I stuck it out and he turned into the best thing that ever happened to me. It’s so worth it if you’re committed.

[@daralynndehnicke5112]

I love that! True words indeed! We have to think like the horse and it is basically as easy as common sense on our parts. Move slow always. When I lived in the south a few years, I was calmer in nature almost no stress thanks to the country air of Arkansas. The horses I dealt with required the relaxing approach. We city people and our energy always in a hurry to get absolutely nowhere fast always leads to a different dynamic when dealing with them while living back in Chicago.

[@bellarain11]

100% agree! I believe that most of the time when we feel like we’re relaxed around a horse, we’re actually not to the extent that we thought we were. We have to double check ourselves, and almost 100% of the time when we do that and focus on relaxing, we’ll see a more calm and curious horse.

It’s hard to realize what you don’t know and finding resources. Every.single.time I’ve ridden or worked with a horse, I learn something. He’s a sweet boy, he wants to “communicate.” But, we - humans - sometimes don’t know how to speak/act in a way they get.

[@americanpatriot7247]

When I bought the very first horse I ever had, the owner was a professional trainer and big name competitor. He had this seal brown Thoroughbred just standing in one of his stalls that he had bought to train for himself & his wife. He was 16 hands high, 4 years old, off the race track, skinny and not friendly. The owner and my vet and a friend and I all went into his stall and stood in a row with me in the middle. He stood at the far end of the big stall and ignored us as we looked at him. Finally, he lifted his head, turned to face us. Stood there for about a minute then slowly walked over to me and put his face in my chest, and sighed, and just stood there like that for awhile. Then he backed up and went back to where he had started from. That was it. He was mine in my head frim that moment forward. Everyone stood there in wonder. Took me 2 weeks to talk the guy into selling him to me because he said I had no business with such an untrained youngster with high spirits like this one and told me he would sell him to me under the condition he would take him back with no questions asked in a month and return my money as long as he wasn't injured in any way. He said he expected him back and just to call him as I didn't have enough experience for him. I told him I had waited my life for this horse and I would get the training I needed for me in order to do right by this horse. I had him until his death at 26 from a stroke. He was one of the 3 best things that have ever hapoened to me in my life. He was my once in a lifetime horse. He turned out to be magnificent and much too talented for me, but he didn't know that and he actually showed love toward me over the years. I was honored to have been owned by him. I stilll miss him, greatly.

[@sarahmedeiros1473]

Kudos to the owner for seeking help. I adopted a mare that also didn’t check my boxes, but there was just something about her. She too seemed super docile until the environment changed. Super sensitive to pressure, and would rear up and lunge forward striking when she didn’t understand. She was very committed to not backing up. I lost all my confidence and it made it really difficult to handle her, because she could sense it. We were both anxious. I joined Ryan’s Patreon and have been just really slowly working with her. Using that blocking method for owning personal space, with a stick and string or a flag before asking for any kind of yield to just establish baseline safety, has done wonders for us. It really helped me gain my confidence again. She is also a lot calmer, because she understands better too. I really enjoyed the video. Big thanks to Ryan for creating videos like this, for us who don’t have the training experience. I believe the owner will get her confidence back. It takes time, and is so hard, but when you do, it becomes fun again. ❤️ Cheering for you!

So, as a rescuer, if your horse does not like or get your vibe then someone else should have him. You just don’t mesh together, especially when you don’t put the time and quality into the horse yourself. That’s just my opinion. It’s not fair to the animal and can deserve better…..

Just watching the first few seconds it’s like the more upset she is the more dominant he gets. He is so sensitive to her state of mind. I think he’s certainly in need of strong consistent leadership.

DEFINITELY would LOVE to see the progress of this horse!!!

[@horsingwithhugo]

im only up to 2 minutes and all I can see is her hanging on the rope, giving him mixed signals and she is letting him walk quite literally through her with zero consequences - therefore Im assuming he has had 30 days to escalate his dominance, because she is not the leader here. Also 30 days on new feed doesnt really help. Am glad she has sought help, because he could be passed around and around its not fair on horses. I hope they build an awesome relationship with Ryan's help

[@finngamesknudson1457]

This horse reminds me of ours. As beginner riders we have sought help - but at this point he needs more consistent attention than we can manage. Looking for someone experienced enough to handle him and willing to ride a time or two during the week. If he gets a week without a ride, he gets considerably more difficult.

[@cindybrygman4350]

"Those who buy a dressage horse......." It rarely works well. One MAKES a great dressage horse! But this was a jumping horse, must know a bit. Seems to me some horses do not take kindly to changing hands/environment, and I don't blame them. This lady holds him too close, so he has no chance to relax. Same reason I hate cross-ties, the horse cannot so much as shake off a fly. Yet most people use cross ties. Horse is just pushing her around because he can, then ups that game. He is too good for her for sure. If there is fear, apprehension, the horse knows. There is much more money about than horse-sense, and no matter how great the trainer, horse goes back and soon remembers who he had been bluffing. You can pay for tips and tricks and methods, but you cannot buy horse sense.

Wow! Matching heartbeats. That totally makes sense. When my lay-back brother in law rode my Anglo Arab gelding in a hunt saddle, he used a long stirrup and rode him on the buckle. Almost like Western. My horse was calm and really dropped his head. When I rode him hunt seat , with a shorter stirrup, more contact and my ever-present anxiety, he perked up and had so much power. He was a flashy horse and was most always in the ribbons in under saddle classes. But I guess it was me that made him goofy.

​@@jcmac47no it isn't. A problem horse can teach you bad habits and bad horsemanship. If you want to be a better horseman, you want a horse that has the ability to challenge you. You want a horse that has the ability to grow with you. Hen you buy that horse he might be green. But he has a lot to learn. If you can't learn with him, he will never succeed and you will never become a better horseman. The same with you - if you have the ability to learn and the horse doesn't, then you will never be a horseman. You will be just a weekend rider who has has no desire to become the best. There are very few people who can fix a problem horse. If you think everyone will become a better horseman if they have a problem horse, then there would never be a problem horse.

[@Odontecete]

I was thinking the same thing. Horse has been forced to submit rather than him allowed to think through it. My OTTB was the same. Once he realized I allowed him to think through a problem rather than nervously simply submit - oh man, what a different horse! He was by far the BEST trail horse ever...never spooked, never took off, was always perfectly fine even in new environments. And curious--he LOVED riding through new places and seeing new things....specially big horned sheep. But knowing the cues the horse gives is I think the key. You learn theirs, they learn yours. And that takes time.

Ryan your point about horses being in a group and picking up on the increased heart rate (and whatever else) of other horses and how they do the same thing with humans is SO POWERFUL. When people say that horses pick up on your nervousness it's frequently to make the point that they will take advantage of your lack of confidence. Or simply that if you're nervous you'll make your horse nervous -- that doesn't quite make the point either. You present it as the horse being in sync with you, and don't make it sound like an adversarial thing. It's still hugely important, but a bit of a different way of looking at it.

I think he is going to end up being a fantastic horse. I like what you said about their being varying levels at which people approach horses. It's why I am so looking forward to the rest of your colt starting videos on your patreon. I have been riding since I was three and that's almost 46 years of experience riding horses but in all that time I have never started a single colt so I haven't the foggiest how it is done. Really looking forward to the next episodes in that one as well. The "holes" in my training experience are actually what makes your patreon so valuable to me personally. I have trained a number of horses over the years and I grew up with a grandfather and great grandfather that ran the horse ranch I grew up on where they both raised and trained horses but I still hit "well WTH do I do with that?" moments in my training where I need to be able to ask somebody with more experience the questions of "what is going on?", "where do I go with that?", "why is the horse responding in this way?", "why haven't I seen this before?" and about a million other things when I get in a bind. Didn't mean to run long there but folks should know there is a ton of really helpful stuff on your patreon that is worth being vocal about because it could help a lot of folks get unstuck and give them better tools to handle things they encounter with their horse or horses.

I think this is a tremendous learning experience for her, not just about her horsemanship, but her recognizing her anxiety issues and getting them on track.

Again, excellent knowledge and work. As soon you managed him it was a different horse. Think that the horse knows she's afraid of him. Keep up the teachings, are amazing. Beautiful horse!. Thank you.

I am honestly fascinated by how much this horse communicates with his ears. He seems to have a very good mind and just needs more time. The owner reminds me of myself. I recently bought a mare a bit on impulse, and I was thinking I would MAKE her into what I wanted. I realized I couldn't MAKE her because I was going too fast, but she could CHOOSE to be what I wanted if she was just given time, and she did it. It took over a year, and she still has her own issues, but I've learned how to deal with her and we are bonded now.

[@suechef1170]

Thank you ryan. I have learned so much from you and Jake in the last couple of years because I have a very difficult thoroughbred. Not only with a bad training and management history, but he also has health issues that continue to disturb him. I can't say I have had a wonderful carefree time with him, but I can say my horsemanship has improved vastly. Thanks again.

[@angelatracy7418]

Would love to see the next session!

[@Silent-Moon]

I'm sold. You make sense. Very insightful and relatable. Thank you. I totally just learned about my own psychology through this demonstration. Thank you for shining a light on my blind spots. Yes, please show the riding session. It is helpful to see the progression of trust building.

[@Silent-Moon]

It's Poly Vagal Psychology, one heart responds, all do. Check out Stephen Porges or Deb Dana, poly vagal will explain the herd mentality.

[@karenmiller129]

Great RR! Yes! I definitely want to see the next session with this lovely horse and his human ❤🐴

[@lorianbazley9088]

I know nothing about horses and have recently begun watching this sort of content. Very interesting. Horses appear to learn quickly? So, if an owner is directing it incorrectly then the horse responds to that direction. Very tricky when the owner is unaware of the incorrect direction being given. And they are genuinely upset with the situation they are in with temselves and the horse. Horse and owner both suffering until help is sought. So good to see that people care enough to seek guidance. Heartwarming indeed. Care is up there as one of my top values. ❤

[@beckygossett4697]

Absolutely please show us more! I learn so much from these troubled horses. Go slow and wait. Who knew? Not me.

[@marysalmon1592]

I noticed watching you the horse calm in minutes I believe your energy is so different then the owners. Calm and clear relating to the horse

[@deanjenkins4716]

Okay I've only seen a few of his videos last few days! I absolutely love how he explains things to owners and really takes his time reading EACH INDIVIDUAL HORSE! This video actually said so much about any horse and the issues owners MOST LEARN!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thanks!

[@reginaharris-burbank683]

This is great,he is very smart and if she is predictable and consistent on the ground she will be golden. Love this waiting to see next session with this horse thankyou Ryan

[@sandyfarley260]

This horse is so gorgeous! I'm so glad she's willing to work with him rather than getting rid of him!

[@daltonburlison]

I couldn’t agree with Ryan more. Staying calm around a horse is so important and just being able to trust that horse makes a big difference. i think she can learn a lot from this. Good Luck to the Both of you!!

[@simga5372]

Yes, definitely, I would want to see the progress. Thank you for the learning experience.

[@toriwolf5978]

Yes we want to see how you do riding this horse❤she is a really sweet person , she deserves a great horse so glad you’re working with her… it is a buyer beware market not everyone is honest when selling a horse and all their issues , wil be looking forward to more videos Ryan iis the best person for the job he is amazing……

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Next session, please!!! Would love to see how he does under saddle. Also, totally empathize with controlling your emotions and fear. Glad she is getting expert assistance!!

[@jessicalmcdaniel9878]

Ryan Rose is the real deal. Just like Warwick Schiller….true horseman that is an excellent representative of the horse, but also possesses the uncommon ability to articulate all of their knowledge to the human too….but you can tell the horse comes first. A lot of these guys are great horseman (Buck brannaman), but don’t have the heart of a teacher. This guy does! Thank you so much for sharing

[@BritMick1012]

Feel so much for this poor lady, she was obviously misled :( So glad she found you though! Would love to see more.

[@w.limoke1790]

Its also a chance for her to get really great with horses and with this horse.

[@yulrodriguez2178]

Amazing his reactions to receiving the new touch compared to when arrived...

[@alirainwater786]

I'd love to see more and definitely see how he goes under saddle. Looks to me he just needs a confident leader with a plan.He's not showing anything extreme with you handling him. I'm glad to see the owner sought out your expertise, with some consistent work/change on her end they should do well.

[@benjaminwilliams3568]

Without seeing the complete video. This woman is responding to her very pushy horse extremely well. I like she stands her ground when the horse trys to push her aside, and when the horse starts wandering she redirects the horse to let the horse walk off the tension it's feeling. She is a very good horse owner, I hope there's follow up videos regarding this horse. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@abbykoop5363]

Yes please. Would love to see how you progress with this horse. I learn every time i watch your videos.

[@tonyarussell8419]

That’s one beautiful horse. He is so clever! Ryan you explain the psychology of your methods so well . Looking forward to watching the next episode when he’s ridden .

[@DebsAngelBabies]

He just needed a leader to show him the right way, good luck with him. 💙

[@BalticLab]

9:04 Most important lesson right there! As an inexperienced rider I was naturally very insecure and nervous. Particularly my sisters horse, who usually is the herd leader, was basically impossiblefor me to handle, he'd go nuts to the extend of being uncontrollable at the slightest noise / unexpected movement. Of course, he is the herd leader and his job is to be alert and protective. And he stepped in that role with me because he could sense that I clearly wouldn't provide those things for him. Fast forward, 5 years later, wecan walk through a crowd, havea honking car behind us, etc. without him even caring much. His character hasn't changed one bit, but now I give him security and he trusts me in what I do. 12:06 is the second most important lesson in the video. Just absense of reaction can do magic. If you act scared, are higly reactive to things happening, etc. he'll mirror you. Me being honestly scared of my sisters horse, put him on high alert. He doesn't understand it's him I am reacting to, he senses danger.

[@susanedwards7993]

Absolutely would like to watch next steps!

[@bonniekarpiak6025]

Wonderful trainer. Good for you on getting this help. I am sure things will steadily improve with him for you. Just be calm and steady. Loved how he came over to you to say thanks.🐎💌

[@denaross]

I would be very interested in watching the progress in with this handsome fellow - he seems super smart and very willing.

[@carolannwilliams9512]

I would love to see the next training session ! Please ! I love Ryan's methods , they seem to embrace clarity for the horse .

[@melissanorris6010]

Another awesome video Ryan, we'll explained, your videos have really helped me in my horse training journey, thank you!

[@valeriehudson7276]

Excellent comment "How much work do you want to do " this horse has such an attitude to begin with; I really empathize with new owner. His eyes and ears tell me he is invested in doing his agenda - there are a lot of horses more responsive with willingness. I look for curiosity too & not reactive - Good luck to all 3 of you - - really enjoyed watching this thanks Ryan.

[@tinalorin9962]

Would love to see the riding session!

[@DebbieLiskow]

Yes, I would like to see the next video. I see many training techniques I want to try!

[@jmwhorsemanship]

This looks like an easy horse to teach things you don't want them to know! Not a "high spirited" horse, just a sensitive one. I would love to see a riding session with this horse. If the owner is invested in a long journey, i would recommend taking lessons with a safe horse to solidify herself as a leader, both on the ground and in the saddle, while Ryan works with her horse until he understands pressure better and gains a little more confidence in humans. Then, in a few months or so, start learning to apply what she learned to this sensitive horse.

[@Beckybirt]

This is so similar to my story with my “bombproof” horse. how she was described, when I got her. She has a lot of bad memories from her past. Not sure exactly what happened, but she is doing better. She got ulcers which totally changed her personality got those taken care of, and I feel like I got her back. However, I’ve have been doing ground work and had a body-energy worker that has help me identify where her anxiety and fears are. It has helped both me and her to become partners, and she is showing me respect us as her leader. sometimes two steps forward, three steps back. Without these videos and Patreon page, I don’t think I would have been able to get where we’re at now I’m so thankful for Ryan and his methods. Looking forward to some riding this spring

[@VivianPatterson-k2r]

Definitely want to see more.

[@josiahandkristasage378]

This horse is absolutely beautiful!!

[@aleb_equine]

awesome horse amazing when the change happens once Ryan handles him

[@melschevelle]

Processing time. He is so right. This is important for horses and we so often forget. My new draft needs this and I’m learning about it. Good stuff

[@emk7132]

Knowing that it would be exactly as obvious in me, it is always so clear the fundamental horsemanship gaps of the owners and the quick difference once it is Ryan on the other end of the lead rope

[@jlhicks10]

Gorgeous horse. I love this personality. He's smart and tries to figure things out but he's clearly defensive probably from prior unfair treatment. He's going to be awesome. I want to see future videos as he progresses.

[@Tonya-fz4er]

Look at that horse! Kicking at the dirt! He feels so bad! He’s so sensitive to her tattle talking about him. Sensitive to her tears and emotions. 😢 This won’t take long to fix! This is about miscommunication and confusion. The horse is just as emotional and wanting his help as she is! Thank goodness she reached out for help and didn’t give up on him! Such a beautiful horse! 🥰

[@jennifermiller3301]

I LOVE this training narration. I learn so much by watching, listening, observing and trying to understand the explanation. Wonderful teacher in Ryan, and terrific horse owner for reaching out for guidance!! We all learn from the owner's outreach effort to Ryan! Kudos to whomever is filming!!

[@fion1flatout]

She's absolutely right about videoing ourselves. I've had someone video my pony driving down the road completely happy and I thought stress free... But the video was shorter than I expected, which proves I was not that relaxed at all

[@StephensonEquestrianConnection]

Love it! I'm working with a rescue pony for a client right now, and it's been 3 straight weeks of ALL these exercises and he's finally relaxing, giving, lowering his head. He was so tense, ready to spring, someone did terrible things to the poor little guy. But he's responding, he's fixable, I love being a trainer for this reason, the response, no matter how long it takes, is so so worth it! Sometimes it takes ALOT of time, but it's always doable!❤

[@kimdavis2508]

He is a “Charles in charge”! He is way too much for this lady. She is already scared of him and he knows it. He knows he can push her all around, rear up, strike. This is just a sample of what he’s going to do. She is no where strong enough to handle him. They probably aced him before she got there to ride him. Happens ALL the time. Only took one second for him to get the message from you Ryan. He needs very experienced rider. She needs very gentle horse. I’m not criticizing the lady, but I would never tell her he just needs a lot of training and time. That would not be truthful. I appreciate you Ryan. All I can say is You Da Man 😎

[@debidevaney8398]

Yes, i would love to see the next steps for this pair. I recently bought a 2 year old quarter horse and I'll be relying heavily on Ryan for advice and training.

[@AnD-ev1by]

Looking forward to part 2!

[@lesleyrobertson2152]

Always want to see more of every horse- I love seeing their progression. In this case would also love to see the owners progression and increase in confidence with him. Both horse and rider seem smart and want to learn. I think they could be a great pair with your help.

[@bulletnutz6382]

Love to see more of this horse 👍
