Last chance for this little pony!!

Last chance for this little pony!! A big change is needed with this 10 year old show pony, Flo is beautiful but potentially dangerous! He always need to be twitched to pick up his back feet and things are getting worse.. big decisions will have to be made if Steve cant give the help that's needed steve-young-horsemanship.myshopify.com

This is for Tanya~ Wonderful camera work! I always appreciate good camera control, stillness, prevents the viewer getting giddy! Lovely camera work! And of course, wonderful horsemanship, Steve~ a pleasure to watch.

[@lineprestkvrn9014]

Best little horse I ever owned was a little "Flo" I got for 600£ to keep my other horse company. She became my once in a life time horse. I could write a book about her. Only tattoo I have is an image of her. I truely believe she will come meet me when my time in this world is up. They are worth any effort because if they turn around they become fantastic. Good job, Steve. Delightful to watch! ❤️🇧🇻

So much here! Steve mentioning again the 3 warning signs: ear pinning, Head shaking & tail twitching/wringing. Always great to have you say it out, Steve because these 3 silent warnings aren't always heeded. Interesting too, how watchful you are Steve, not missing a moment, even when talking to others you see a shoulder move or lost attention. It's a silent communication & a horse knows when one's distracted or not paying attention. Thanks for another great video with your lovely co-pilot, Tanya!

[@whinnie216]

If this is really Tanya, I would love to put in a suggestion! I stopped commenting bc my questions weren’t answered. I know it’s time consuming but if we could get replies from Steve on some questions that would be amazing! I’m a big fan and horse trainer in Florida. I’ve attended Meredith manor in the US and have learned a lot of training techniques there but the real world also brings so much learning! I talk about Steve being my favorite to watch and learn from on KZbin. Absolutely amazing what kind of connection he has with horses! I’m sure as his wife, you know! Lol maybe a Q & A video sometime!?! 🤩

Feet expressions, too. The overall appearance is most important and it takes real talent. Horses react to people differently and they can be cunning. Once they are relaxed with a person, it's more of sharing real feelings.

Greetings from Norway. Thanks for sharing your life and work with us, Tanya and Steve. I am a 64 year old disability pensioner spending much of my time watching KZbin videos. Never knew anything about horses, but thanks to you (and a couple of other KZbinrs) I am learning a lot about them. But as with all good infotainment, I learn most about myself. By seeing how you cope, I feel inspired to cope better myself.

[@kkheinrich9224]

Was just reading down through other's comments, after I left one. I think it's neat how a type of "equine therapy " occurs watching- weather you have a horse or not. I'm receiving this🐎therapy now because I lost mine, sadly. It took a year before I could even watch anything horse. Steve has Soothed my 💔heart💔 here. Tanya and his jaunts are comic relief and endearing. Cutest couple. I write. Because I wanted to turn you onto another horse Soul here in the States... I think Virginia .Whole other type of Horsemanship- Gentle-ing of adopted Wild Mustangs.

[@dianebannister4591]

Olav, I have been watching Steve train horses for about several weeks now, February 3, 2023. It's very enjoyable and I learn a lot. Just to let you know there is another channel that I have been watching for nearly 2 years. It's Friesian Horses from the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 Yvonne Horjus is the Host. She is recovering from a really bad accident she had early summer. She does videos of Friesians from Stall G and from her home which she has 3 ponies. I love that channel too.

[@kkheinrich9224]

@@dianebannister4591 I found that Fresian channel too- cathartic for my heart, as my 💔mare had just died. While it's NOT training channel,at all, it's beautiful and lovely

[@dianebannister4591]

@@kkheinrich9224 Hello KK, I'm sorry for the loss of your mare. It's difficult to lose a beloved pet who becomes like family. Did you watch Friesians before I mentioned it here? Or you went to the channel after I mentioned it? Yvonne, who is the host of the videos, is a wonderful person. Several of the horses are pregnant. I hope that we see new foals in the Spring. Yvonne had an accident in early summer with a horse. They fell and with horse on top of her I think. Very serious. She was in a coma for awhile. Millions of fans prayed for her. And she experienced astonishing progress. However, she is not fully recovered and has a ways to go in healing. I have also found another animal channel in little over a week that I enjoy. It's "Bondi Vet" from Australia. It just happened to come up in my feed and I thought I'd give it a try. They have different Veteranarians. They have had some very unusual circumstances of kinds of animals they worked on. It's been fascinating! And another animal channel I watch is "Tugay" from Turkey. He's also a Veteranarian. There are captions in English.

What a great video. A tear came to my eyes when I heard the message back from the owner. What a stunning looking mare. I would have been so sad if it hadn’t gone well. Great job again. Although I cannot ride anymore, I get such pleasure out of watching these and am learning so much

[@NienkeJoe]

What I noticed in the pen is that she was scared with the leg, pinned her ears and raised her head real high. At the moment you stood up, she spooked. She expected beating. She calmed down real quick when the only thing that happened was for her to move. No beating, no shouting. And she expected beating and shouting. Poor thing has been mistreated for a long time. She kicks and bites out of fear, just to survive. I'm glad she is doing so well the first time round. And the updates sounded great! I hope she will keep this up. I'm glad she was bought by these people. I don't want to know how her life would have been without these people. So thanks for saving her life!

Horses respect people who can direct them where to move their feet.

[@philleggitt3005]

Steve that soft hand which barely touches but relays so much to your horses, the finger touches to the nose & forehead, MAGIC...

[@dd3wc]

Yeahhhh ... it's another brilliant video of Steve demonstrating the groundbreaking exercises that are simplistic in nature but life transforming in the end. It's amazing what you, Steve, has been able to accomplish with so many horses over the years, by merely showing a horse who's controlling the feet by using unembellished principles to teach ... it's all about the feet ... nothing more and nothing less. With a few straightforward techniques, a horse can achieve the simplest of tasks by driving, leading, disengaging and 'all you need is me' exercises ... and it's like one has a new horse on their hands ... Bada Bing Bada Boom and Bob's your Uncle!!! And it's all done with a smile, kindness and respect ... lovely, just lovely! Again Steve you've taught us it's not always about the horse needing to learn, as you also have to teach the handler/owner or rider (whoever it is working with the horse) how to correctly use those simple tasks, so as to not unravel all that's been done. It's so awesome how you're able to touch and transform horses' and peoples' lives as you do, all with a touch of wisdom, kindness and respect towards the horse and person(s). What a game-changer ... just brilliant! Thanks for yet again, another successful video of positively transforming a horse's plight, without using the physical force or the emotions of anger and/or aggression towards the horse ... always done with quality! And let's not to forget, it's always been a delight to see a bit of the countryside and pubs/restaurants, along the way. Thanks Steve and Tanya for sharing this adventure with us and I'm so looking forward to the next video! All the best! 😇🙌🙏

I’m sure that little pony is saying “FINALLY some leadership that is equal to me and a little bit more. No offence intended to owners as I would not be that person either.

[@Mulberrysmile]

I just want to say that in the owner’s video where Flo kicked, Matt’s response was amazing. That was a frightful experience for him, and people will often strike out from that adrenaline rush, yet Matt stayed collected and cool…got himself to safety, but stayed calm. He has a horseman’s nature just waiting to express itself! I hope he has the interest to pursue it, and even an opportunity to do a seminar in the future. And kudos for facing down his justified trepidation at the end!

[@jennielaw6329]

Yes Ronnie, I agree! Also the guy holding the lick, not only had lovely timing, but also never once eyeballed this little mare.....only looked down at her feet, without any prompt from Steve. Both guys very instinctive 👍 I really hope the future is positive for this pretty mare. She's had some rough treatment at some point in the past I think. She's small, with a mighty character and has rightly got really pissed off that no one has understood her issue. Some people who feel they're not heard or misunderstood, resort to violence as a self defence mechanism. Underneath her bravado, I think she's insecure and fearful. It took kind but firm leadership from you Steve to make her feel safe and grounded, to actually be coherent enough in her own head, to be able to properly absorb what was being asked of her.....and find a peaceful place mentally and physically. Flo's humans obviously care greatly about her welfare and I really hope they find a positive way forward for this lovely pony 🤗

[@fleetskipper1810]

Kudos to the men who helped to handle the mare in this video. They followed Steve’s instructions to the letter, and saw that they worked. The more consistent handling she gets, the more she will begin trusting everyone, then the more she will eventually become trustworthy around everyone else. Everyone did a really good job here. Characterizing her behavior as fearfulness rather than naughtiness really helped me to see why Steve did what he did.

[@doreenwilson138]

I am amazed how willing horses are to let things go. She is going to need consistent leadership for a while before the kids get involved as she has just discovered what leadership feels like. Then the child that is going to handle this horse needs to be taught the principles of leadership for this horse to feel safe. At the end of the day 'as Steve says' that's all they want. Love from Canada. You two are doing a great job. Thanks for all the horses you have saved.

[@annepettit2433]

Twitching noses, I don’t know. There is an acupressure point there that might cause endorphin release. Might. But twitching an ear is inexcusable. I worked with a horse who had that done and she was terrified of having her ears touched. Heartbreaking and took a long time for her to get over that

[@fleetskipper1810]

@@annepettit2433 My OTTB had been ear-twitched at the track, and I finally got him to let me touch it briefly over 12 years, but that was all. With his other ear, I could do anything.

Later, after I left school I volunteered for a horse riding school for 6 months and later for a place that rehabilitated abused horses. Then I moved to NZ and learned so much more.

I think a lot of the psychology you use with horses is somewhat applicable to other animals and humans. I find myself mulling over the essence of what you teach, letting it filter through my mind. Really useful, as well as very entertaining.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

Glad to hear you don't twitch. I even saw one made of chain. Just like I often say, symptoms vs problems. A twitch will never fix the actual problem, just the symptom. I have heard that in some very large stables (hundreds of horses) in the US, they have so many to trim, the farriers won't even wait to see if they need one, they just use it every time. I found that disturbing since I trim my own and know what it takes. I laughed when one person said they would consider me a horseman when I worked with 2000 pound horses that could kill me. I guess they have never been kicked. That pony (or even smaller) could kill you with just one kick. I love horses like this and the outcome.

Good morning from NZ. The ' horseless kiwi ' just loving the way you handle horses. You know, once you start the training, they change so quick and are looking for that discipline. You're totally brilliant. We've just found more of your recent videos. We treat ourselves to watch you and not forgetting Tanya before bedtime and feel happy. Thank you for the happiness you give us all.🙏🙏❤❤👍👍😀😀

[@ljo0605]

Exceptional horsemanship, thankyou for sharing what you do and teaching others. It's so important to be safe and effective around horses!

[@rainbowbudgies1129]

Outstanding, Steve. Please let us know how things turn out for this pony and her lovely owners.

[@cdnqgramma3373]

Brilliant, just Brilliant!!! They are the same as training dogs, in so many ways... you must be the leader, always. Thanks for sharing, great job Steve. and Everyone !

Incredible amazing training Again!!! Ive learned alot on how much detail was learned on Flo's part that goes into the NOSE of the horse. She doesnt forget yet is a lover and follower. She has a new respect with herself which I believe she needed to learn in the best way. So sorry for her past. Heres hoping that she can grow with the children loving on her nose tenderly. Thank U for posting & being so kind as always.💞

Steve is a great Horse Whisperer. It's amazing the progress he makes with those horses. I learn a lot by watching his videos. I have been watching for several weeks.

[@elsestelema6273]

Great result, let’s hope they keep up the good work. Well done

[@gailratliff7592]

Great video. At the end of the training, Flo's whole demeanor appeared to change. You are truly talented with all you do for these horses. Thank you all for what you do. LOVE AND PEACE FROM ARIZONA USA.

Aww James don't be shy, we're checking out the jacket not your handsome face! Steve and Tanya these videos bring so much emotion! I am amazed at your skill to turn a horse/pony around to trust humans, ABSOLUTELY MIRACULOUS RESULTS!! You are definitely the horse whisperer, bringing tears to my eyes knowing you've saved another beautiful horse. I would expect after a while children will be safe with Flo. I LOVE you showing the foods you eat, looks so scrumptious and delish!!! GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU SAFE!

[@mfc4591]

Loved seeing you make good progress with this little pony. I have never been kicked by a horse or bitten . My Dad was a good horseman and he knew stuff !

[@tomdeeharis]

Steve and Tanya What a team the horses are so lucky , you give them the discipline they need in a quiet way, love the filming Tanya 🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@sharoncameron7740]

I love your videos, such a drastic change in Flo's attitude. Just amazing!

[@kidstuff44555]

I like how you show when round penning can be quite a process, even with a horse/pony who has been around people and ridden. Obviously she has never seen people as her 'comfort' spot, so therefore it takes a while to convince her to stop trying to get away. Because many videos on this subject make it appear as though it only ever takes a couple of minutes, so people might get discouraged if it takes them and their horse longer. Realistically, it takes as long as it takes.

[@fleetskipper1810]

Yes, round pending is not about “wearing the horse out,” either. It’s letting them discover that you are the only place they can get repose and quiet rest.

[@BerylForrest]

Superb work and video Steve and Tanya! Life changing for Flo and her owners hopefully and a massive well done to Matt, he was very brave. I'm sure they will continue to learn more about handling Flo, it was so good to see her being able to learn to relax more and be happy being handled & not be constantly defensive. Well done all of you 🌹 🙏☯️🥰

[@lydiagould3090]

I’m amazed how quickly you bring about a change in the horse attitude. Not just here, but in all your vids I’ve seen . Sometimes I get a challenging situation with one of our horses and so often I sit down and find a similar situation on one of your videos which can help. Hope you’ve still got spare tickets for the demo on 18th. Looking forward to seeing you and Tanya😊

[@leahnichol6665]

Thank you Steve, Tanya and the rest of the team. I was watching 2 Friesian colts being returned to their home stable. They were 2 year olds. One was obviously dominant and the other was mouthing his submission. I could see the more mature one leading and driving the younger one very clearly. I was happy with myself that I knew what was happening. Of course the older two year old was really a teenager so he was exaggerating the behaviour. The owner even mentioned he was being mean, but he was not hurting the younger one. She said the younger one was not yet a stallion so he didn’t really understand what was going on. Great fun.

[@deloresrogers685]

You understand the horses thought process so well. It showes in how they understand what you want and you can conse

[@robertbiggs4934]

Another excellent "read" of a horse by Steve! Steve is a master at watching horses give clues to what is needed to effect change in their behavior. Such a pleasure to watch the transformation! Great job Steve and Tanya. Thanks for posting.

[@SarahWilson-fv5vo]

Love your videos Steve. I have recently rescued a miniature shetland colt and he is a real handful. Your videos have helped so much and he is slowly improving. I've never had horses and I got him to be a companion to 3 goats but quickly established that he was trying to mount them! He now has a fence between him and them! Would like to get him an equine friend once he's been gelded but he hasnt dropped yet unfortunately. Will keep persevering as he is a real sweetheart when not kicking and biting!

[@lisamclain2549]

Fantastic video! I am so happy I stumbled on your video of Pearl months ago. Since then I have been blessed to watch many more heartwarming videos and become a member of the membership community on Facebook. Your family makes my heart very happy! All the best to everyone, including the new kids, Jimmy and Chevy!
