Loud Direction to Horse- Nagging a Horse w/ Body Language- Rick Gore Horsemanship

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Everyone has to start somewhere, at least you willing to learn and try - more than I can say for a lot of people.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

LOL, the person who caused this video sent me a thank you letter and then the next day sent me a letter telling me I was abusive and this video makes fun of her. Guess her Meds wore off. And People wonder why not many do this. Barn Witches and Psychos, seem to be drawn to horses. Too bad for the horse.

[@anastaciam5356]

Ahhaaa....the NAGGING part looks EXACTLY like LINDA PARELLI..hahhahaha

[@toniknight82]

i dont understand why people struggle to watch themselves critically. i make a habit of doing it. especially if i am suddenly struggling with something my horse normally does well with. I video myself and usually pretty quickly identify a minor habit ive picked up or a mistake i made that confused the horse. and then i have a good place to start next time. things nearly always improve as soon as i identify and correct my mistake.

[@MultiAriel27]

LOL....I can just see Mr. T saying, in his mind, OMG....OMG....OMG...OMG....DAD IS SO CRAZY...OOOOMMMMMMGGGGGGGG....WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM...., LOL

[@DizzyPony328]

THIS WAS GREAT!!! That was the most accurate interpretation of a lot of the female "trainers" I have seen locally. "Look, I'm lunging!"(but seems completely frigid and terrified of the horse, as if there was a grizzly at the end of the rope)... I wish you were allowed to take horses away from stupid people.

[@traceylee8547]

Quiet hands = quiet horse,,,,,,,Soft=Responsive,,,,,,Speak only when you have something to say, horses are not into "small talk" , I talk with my horses all the time, but it is always a conversation that is pertinent to what we are doing, most of the time I am the one who is listening

[@PotatoQueen1989]

you could see after Mr T was nagged loudly he was tense with the quiet one a little then relaxed, the nagging definatly made him more stressed and nervous, he looked like wtf you want me to do dude, Mr T and Buddy totally respect you and even buddy looked a little stressed at the loud nagging, two very amazing horses i only hope that when i finally get a horse ile be able to teach them the way rick has taught his

[@4Mr.Crowley2]

Still my all-time favorite Rick video! First -- a great lesson about how horses read body language (I've seen so many people make EXACTLY the same mistake Rick describes here - also Mr. T is the perfect horse for this lesson as he is extremely sensitive to Rick's body language. And Mr. T is a very handsome mover!). Second, seeing both Buddy and Lacey (I miss Lacey now that Rick is in Texas! I know she had another owner but it was always great to see her in pasture with the boys) doing their antics kills me. Buddy is just DYING to be on camera so he keeps photobombing the shot (I swear he knows) and harassing poor good boy Mr. T by sniffing him and/or walking into his space. Lacey is a hilarious little trickster, very, very clever, and she was about to take out that camera when Rick saw her just in time. Those two crack me up every time. Thanks Rick for posting great videos w/excellent lessons and some very funny horse moments!

[@haleylahaie3740]

I ain't that bad at talking to my horse but seeing you move him that quietly has shown me that I'm still being too loud. My boy is pretty calm around me(and will actually follow me away from the herd and "chase" me when I go out) so I don't think I'm that naggy. But I could definitely be quieter. Thanks for the great video I always love learning new things to pay attention to and work on(and my gelding probably loves it too cause then I dont act quite as stupid).

[@gailfreese3849]

I love it when Rick shows what not to do.

[@lauraalbertson7821]

Mr.T looks fantastic. Really Miss seeing Him . Thank you for all these videos throughout the years you have shared . I am about 2 years now into learning from you (2020) . My Husband and I are going to have a Happy, calmer , Horse because of you . No nagging , No Metal , No stalls , but I do have a Mini Mouse Pink Ball Cap my little Granddaughter gave to Me 😉 see you in the next video! Your Fan and Friend, Laura ♥️ Bear 🐴

[@ArchangelAdaine]

I know this is an old video but I had to laugh because of Tanner's facial expression toward you. He was looking at you like you were crazy. Great Video! Thanks!

[@gwpaulsen]

Haha that jitter dance you did made me laugh so hard, almost fell off my chair! I'm still learning, keep on teaching!

[@marciareeves5752]

Buddy and Mr. T decided to get you a sedative. Possible alternative is to decrease your coffee. I saw Buddy whisper to Mr. T at almost the end. Buddy said ,"Hang in there Mr. T. We will get our Daddy back.. Joking. Good lesson. Tell your boys hi.

[@StonyRC]

Man I laughed so hard at you and poor Mr T ... he went from being so well behaved to being a crazy confused horse, poor bugger had no clue what the hell was going on!!!! Such a great demonstration even made perfect sense to me (an IT guy who's never been anywhere near a horse)!

[@carolined3058]

Rick somewhere deep inside you there is a comedian hidden LOL

[@sasjamulder6857]

After observing my mare today, I know what her (or actually MY) problem is, she doesn't want to disengage her hindquarters. I now know specifically what to be working on, also thanks to you videos. thanks for the reply! (I live in a country where people completely neglect groundwork (the Philippines, but i moved here from the Netherlands) , so I have no other teachers than video's online

[@jj_hoolio]

Great video, as always, but oH MY GOODNESS THE KITTEN MEWING IN THE BACKGROUND. Kittens are my favorite

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Stupid horse people teach more people than I do and since there are so many people need to know what to look for and know when they hear and see idiots. Just because someone want to hear only good things and stick their head in the sand and ignore all the bad , does not help fix the ignorance in the horse world. If you don't like it, don't hit play.Your choice not to come, my choice to do my videos my way.

[@baileetureo7984]

I felt so bad for Mr.T 😂❤️

[@4Mr.Crowley2]

Me too. We love Mr. T and he looks like he is trying so hard to figure out what Rick is teaching here! He also walks up to Rick a few times for love after Rick demonstrates the nagging and poor body language. I almost died when Lacey started strutting with her head low towards the camera! That camera was doomed but Rick noticed her in time! Lacey is such a pretty girl.

[@MattyDemello]

I don't get how people will send you a video to watch and ask for advice and get mad when you give it. Man the way I am i'd rather you tell me my flaws and what I can do better rather then just sugar coating everything. That's why I watch you. I'm a "no bull shit" kind of person to. I'd rather get honest advice then praise for something I've done wrong.

[@amandak3198]

I'm the same way...but most people already have in their mind that they are great and will be acknowledged for doing such a good job. And that's what SO MANY people (women) in the horse world want. If they learned to listen to their horse, they wouldn't need people to tell them they're doing a good job, the horses(s) would. I've told lesson clients before that most the stuff I'm teaching them, they could get for free just by watching the horse out the window of their home. But somehow that is generally offensive, too lol

[@527dsmith]

In tears man! Lmao "look everybody I'm lunging" classic.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

@BPsGrl : this what a lot of horses say to their owners everyday, but no one is listening.

[@amandas.2400]

When you "nagged" Mr. T, you can hear how loud his feet were, compared when you didn't. Plus Mr. T looked freaked out/ confused when you "nagged".

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

@cazyhorseworld : I forgot about membership price for sucking people in for a couple of hundred a year for being a member. good point. :)

[@flufflewarrior]

People don't want to hear the truth, they want to hear that they are doing great. That's the issue. The truth can hurt and nowadays nobody wants their feelings to be hurt. "We are all perfect as we are." That's an excuse for people to not even try to improve even more. Great video Rick!

[@deniseelliott3986]

Awww poor Mr. T. He's such an incredible horse. He trusts you completely.

[@velvet.vampyre]

Years later and I never get tired of your antics. This made me laugh so much. Poooor Mr. T. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the stupid humans. :3

[@jeanniekiess3061]

I love the kitty mewing in the background

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

@karah0bug : actually over 400 some are unlisted and can only be viewed from links on my website. but thanks for counting. :)

[@sarahk1965]

Poor Mr. T! Did you see the other horses get out of the way when he was nagging? Mr. T is beautiful!!!

[@sherriehelpert4542]

Poor Mr T He thinks his dad went mad. Lol. Thank you for your videos

[@dianneguarino2348]

Tanner your greatly missed 💕. I have been thinking of him and this pop up on my feed 😊

[@KingsMom831]

11:59.......Poor ol’ Mr T😥 Did mean old Rick scared the poop outta you?!😂

[@rdwilander]

LOL Buddy usually hangs around even he saw NAGGING coming and got outa there !!

[@lynnmallen9699]

Mr T looks at you like your having a seizure when your acting out the wrong way to do lunging, lol. Your boys are such good boys!

[@christinekronthaler8836]

That cracked me up !!!! Mr. T’s reaction🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@littleblondebatw]

MrT. that you had way too much coffee that morning, lol.

[@delamcghee4684]

Omg, that was really funny! I really see some people do those things to a horse. Rick I really enjoy listening to you tell the truth about how some people interact with their horses. I reaalize the things you teach about horses really works. You offer very good advice...and you demonstrate how silly some people really is. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Stop teaching her that you don't know what you are doing. You think there is an easy fast answer, there is not and that is why you fail. Read my site and watch all my videos, when you fix yourself, your horse problems go away. When you get better, your horse gets better RE: Sasja Mulder If i so much try to move my mare to the side by lightly putting pressure on her side, she kicks and tries to bite. could anyone here give me advice on how exactly i should correct her at that time?

[@notadumbblond3]

There's a video Rick did with a mare who was disrespectful when tied. Look for that one. You need to teach her you mean business first, to respect when you ask her to move. I can guess that you're fearful and have reinforced that if she bites at and kicks at you, she wins the release of pressure.

[@taralee7076]

Poor Mr. T (RIP). That was hilarious, but so true.

[@owenlonghorn]

Good lesson Rick. I didn't realize how suttle you can be and your horse still gets it. Horses are smarter than people in a lot of regards!!

[@jeliarra]

Mr T is so elegant even when he is being nagged. It is all coming back to me (the "feeling"): Some people just don't "have it" and never will. Like some people don't have a green thumb and kill plants despite "doing everything right" and having the best intentions. Some people just aren't animal people, they are too nervous, too scared, fearful and can't trust etc. One can see "it" and if they have "it" feel it when Rick is with his horses (and others) whether interacting with them or not. It's a glorious feeling to have "it" and what makes having a pet all worth it for the human and the animal.

[@buddette3308]

Poor Mr. T, Great lesson Rick!

[@christydiaz4141]

Buddy was like "Hi camera.. :D" 0:16 LOL "Buddy if you go by the camera--"

[@kireinasenshi9081]

Don't forget it's not just mares that nag ponys do that too. Lol

[@jacquelineartis4315]

wen your cat is tired of u being with the horses the cat meowing didn't stop until it got some love😁😁😂😂😂

[@TheRosa63]

Poor mr t he was like oh my god help me lol he is so responsive to slightest cues

[@carolyndeedee1139]

Poor ol mr t, he's like W T F dad???.... good thing he loves you to bits rick!

[@ronkosanke9433]

I am so glad your videos make sense and are very clear to me. If they did not make sense to me I would have to question myself of how bright i really am? Thank you for another cool video Rick, Mr.T (Tanner, Montana) and of course Buddy....

[@IronicPerception]

Love it! Excellent demonstration. Thanks again!

[@Tatortotmandy]

May I just say I LOVE your videos Mr. Rick!

[@KingsMom831]

“Great, here’s your video ladies! Get ready to cut and paste”😂😂

[@Linda508]

I TOTALLY AGREE! I know people at our barn that do this and call themselves experts Horseman! Always enjoy your videos! Keep them coming! Linda & Cielo Red!

[@laurettewilcock1934]

Bless Mr T ! They are so forgiving aren’t they . . That was so hilarious . My crazy neighbour will think I’m crazier than him after hearing me in stitches . Need to replay ! 😂😂😂

[@robertkay9871]

Poor Mr T... He's like " Why Dad "..?

[@laurettewilcock1934]

Love you Mr T . Heartbroken but this one always cheers me up 😂.😂. Dad doing his nagging impression on you there sweetie 😂😂. What a good boy ! You too Buddy. Love you too 🐴.

[@Q0ia]

one of our horses acted like 'i don't care' every time we got him to train. turns out the previous owner desensitized him. thanks to you I was able to re-establish the communication with him. thank you.

[@bxrsnkds]

Poor Mr. T. He suffers for the sake of teaching so that other horses may have a better life! I cracked up several times. Thanks for the laughs!

[@TheRealBambihooves]

Poor Mr. T! I'm dying!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@debbiefinley617]

excellent demonstration

[@sharmanklinefelter508]

mr t was such a beautiful horse will never get tired of watching him

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

👍🤠

[@oobagooba100]

I would be afraid to send Rick the video of my riding my horse. I don't even have any excuses of how bad I communicated with my horse...I'm absolutly ashamed....I am working on it though, and learning alot from your videos Rick. Thank you SO much!

[@NamihaTaiga]

i respect what you say rick. not saying i think ur all that and ill listen and be loyal little brain washed teen, but your horses do work for you really well and you prove that your own horsemanship is respectable and very down to earth.love mr T, i will change and just use my head instead of listening to others not saying i am nervous and all over the place with my horses like a freaking maniac but..i do have little things to keep at to make my relation with my horses better. your great!!!

[@MattyDemello]

Ohhh wow I liked the part where you called it "nagging lunging" That looked really professional and great. I mean Mr. T was going side to side and pausing and going forward and backwards. WOW that looks like what I do when I lunge. I didn't like when you was quiet though. LOL ok i'm joking geez. BUT I BET there are some that are like "ohhh wow that looks great" then when Rick says "this is what crap looks like" haha they are probably shocked and get mad because that's how they lunge. No lie. I see people all the time lunging in that nagging manner and then ask me "how do you think I did"? man I HATE when they ask. I usually just lie so I don't make any enemies there. You don't want a barn witch enemy. lol I just stay out of it and pray the horse finds a better owner one day lmao haha

[@BeRandee]

Excuses are what society lives on now days. I have them, but I'm learning to realize I'm making them and trying to fix them. I really enjoy your videos and see I have a lot to catch up on!

[@maylagesse]

this man has such beautiful horses. I'm so jealous but its inspired me to have the best horse and be the best horse(wo)man I can be.

[@llainie4]

Mr. T saying,"HELP! Dad's gone mad!" Buddy run for your likfe! j/k, thanks for the video Rick. I need to be alot more quite myself.

[@celinemc]

After watching other horse owners videos I recommended your channel for them to study maybe they'll learn a few things, absolute idiots!!!! They really need to be educated , You seem the only one who makes complete sense, keep up the fantastic work 👍

[@thatartistlady]

Haha, I feel ya completely! The owner of the barn I learned from actually brought us all together one day because she was sick of seeing people nag their horses.. she actually had one of us act as a horse, and another would still be a person. Her thought process was that if a human cant tell what you want, the horse sure can't. Being one of the better riders at that barn, I REALLY drove that message home with some of the naggier people. I was a "problem horse" to them lol.

[@amzchristillguinness]

This video is hilarious well done Rick, such an important lesson in here!

[@EverythingEquine01]

Hi Rick, I’ve noticed you have done several videos about body language and would love more! Would you be able to do more videos that dives deeper into detail about body language and working with your horse (and talk about whatever you think would be helpful)? I watch your videos when I can and haven’t had the time to watch all of them, as I know you mention body language and communicating with your horse throughout all of them.

[@patriciacarranza4550]

Aaaaaaaa OMG now i feel embarrassed 😩 😅 Glad I’m watching this video. 😂😂 Im just happy I’m a new horse person ready to learn🙌🏽 Learning to be quiet. 😉

[@indie825]

Poor Mr. T...dad's having another one of his episodes. Very good point. Hope T got extra carrots and apples for being the demo horse.

[@darienbecerra2887]

Hahaha hahaha every video I end just cracking up 🤣😂🤣 por Mr T

[@omgequine]

HAHAH That was awesome."Look! Im lunging! Im a horse whisperer!" Mr. T was like "The fuck ya doin Rick?"

[@egorbiohazchem]

oh dear I think I am a bit of a horse whisperer sometimes. thanks for the exaggerated mirror, helpful

[@carolv8450]

Lacey is such a good horse. Too bad she's not on your ranch in Texas. What a good horse and curious in this vid. Kind of like Zbuddy.

[@alicew962]

You scared the poop out of him Lololololololol

[@howshawthebrave]

I haven't laughed so much in a long time Rick. You are a genius!

[@fischerpilne]

Oh, ohhhh. Wake-up call for me! Serious stuff...but very easy to accept- and I am eager to silence the nagging - because your laughter/sense of humor is a great way for me to relax and to get over myself. And to focus. I thank you. And my horse, Cole, thanks you.

[@FromWishingDreams]

Excellent information and example, but who else noticed the kitten meowing in the back?

[@viewthroughalens]

Spot on. If I ever need a laugh I know where to go. Your videos. Hilarious, and yes I've seen men and women do exactly that busy dance and the horses looked like Mr T. Big Surprise. I would give them some tips but they 'know' what they're doing. Right? Anyway thanks for the posts, if I don't learn anything new at least I get a laugh.

[@thomasottensmeier1658]

This is incredibly helpful

[@squishface89]

I want to shrink myself and sit on your shoulder 24/7 and learn everything you know. haha! I love your videos. I get a kick out of you! I love how you poo poo the "barn witches"

[@sandysefcik1614]

What, no music? Great video...enjoyed.

[@MissKittybigpaws]

Haha! Poor Mr T he is like dad!! What the hell!!!

[@jimmybee49]

seen plenty of this new style of horsemanship at the barn I hang out at, let's hope that people get it, as you say, look at the horse to see the owner, good video

[@halligonzalez3732]

i love you rick lol. mr t and buddy put up a lot with your demonstrations. haha im sure they love it!!

[@findingbohemia1840]

Lmao when I heard what u explained this video to b about I was ready to comment Thats Me! stupid person, but thank God I know I don’t look that bad! Bahahahaha. Still trying to figure it out. My little girl was taught with a lunge whip, and all she has to do is to see it and she takes off running as fast as she can in a circle. Not my deal she’s 20 and I’ve only had her for 1.5 years. My first horse btw and I thought wow I guess that’s what we’re supposed to do. Thanks for the video, you reassured me of my thinking process. After a few times of her running in a circle so fast I had a suspicion that can’t b right somethings up with how she was trained with that whip. Now I’m trying to learn to communicate with her and not definitely do not use that stupid whip anymore and I’m sure I do look awful funny cause I can tell she’s looking at me like what the hell do u really want? Lol.

[@amandak3198]

Funny, there was a clip on the news last night about an upcoming Arab show, and the arena was filled with women in pretty breeches lunging their horses just like that 🙄

[@tracywilson4740]

Hello this is the first time on watching you but i think your great and would learn so much.. MR T lovely horse and buddy :) xx

[@MARLEYSHEEPDOGS]

i, like you and yes you have a lot of sense and i do learn form you , cheeres

[@dracosol4415]

This just showed me how loud I am to my horses. I need to calm my ass down with the tiniest stuff

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

👍👍🤠

[@mark97213]

This is kind of off topic but have always wanted to ask; How tall is Mr. T? Is he above the average size Mustang? He is just such a stunning Mustang

[@savethetigers171]

my neighbor says "horses are vary stupid animals" but what he doesn't realize is that there very intelligent beings and that hes not being clear enough when hes giving the directions. infact i think the horses are smarter then him! the horses listen to me when i give the commands, so.... by the way rick gore, i love your videos, vary educational and nice demonstrations! :)

[@chloeponyblanket8156]

Hey rick, i have a 27 year old gelding quarter horse with a bad hip, he wasnt really lunged by his past abusive owners so he doesnt really know what to do, do i do the same as this video and give him a bit of direction and put a bit of pressure to get him moving?

[@BPsGrl]

Mr. T was like WTF Rick!!!

[@mark97213]

Absolutely hilarious!!! Looks like SO MANY at my stables.
