Glad this owner reached out to you. I feel for her. My horse had 6 owners in his first 7 years of life. I have had him for 8 years and he feels safe and can depend on us to be there now. It took years to get there.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

💯👍

[@Victorious-fb]

Same with ottb, became the most trusting, loving horse but took several years

[@marcyking461]

No doubt, you now have a friend for life. I had a rescue horse who was full of all sorts of fears when I got him. It took us a full six years to totally bond to the point where he knew he was safe in my hands, no matter what. I used to chant 'Lions & tigers & bears, oh my!" to him, patting him on the shoulder when we 'faced a fear'. LOL ... But once he confront each fear head on, he'd calm down and lo and behold, I ended up with the best trail horse in the county.

[@alisonevans7403]

What i like about Ryan is at the end of 5 minutes, horse is starting to get it. No dust, no sweat, not a lot happening on the outside, but a ton happening on the inside.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

😃👍

[@healingsoundbaths]

I've been thinking the same thing! He gets such great results in such a short time with very little happening on the outside. It's like the horses can just sense who he is... and they just know they can trust him.... it's amazing!!

[@freedommeow]

He needed that pressure, I don't think he's ever been handled like that before! When he realized what was happening he became totally connected with you! ❤

[@lindalape8493]

He's a beautiful horse, and I'm so glad she called Ryan in to work with him.

[@bitbybitfarmseast3085]

Ryan, I am sorry you have to take continuous flak for applying. Pressure. It’s the language of the horse. The end of the session always shows a calmer , happier horse who listens and improves. Thank you for another excellent video. This horse is a solid attractive animal and I hope he and the owner have a great future.

[@katec708]

the grey horse watching the drama is killing me lol

[@sharonburgess9488]

That horse just thought "oh oh...new sheriff in town'.

[@Flash3-22]

You could tell he read Ryan's energy and intention right away. What a smart responsive horse.

[@CelestialPulseX]

LOL @ the horse's oh shoot moment in the beginning. He really is smart and responsive.

[@Cathan1856]

Being clear, that horse will appreciate that.

[@donkeyoatie6787]

She needs to speak up. We want to hear her. Your work with horses is always amazingly helpful!

[@stephengunterdc9651]

Another great example of drawing the human into the role of leader. We live in a time when there seems to be an attachment to thinking that all creatures need to be treated like newborn kittens, and the appearance of assertiveness is confused with aggression (what is the threshold for a micro-aggression, anyway?). Large, powerful animals like horses reveal their majesty, and grace us with their full gifts, when we learn to communicate to them what we expect, in a manner that allows them to understand and succeed in the partnership. It seems to me that they enjoy and appreciate the clarity, since uncertainty must feel very threatening to them.

[@jmwhorsemanship]

This this this!

[@bjharrison4460]

People have a hard time understanding that nurturing is not the whole answer. Leadership is critical, too. For horses, who naturally live in a hierarchical society, leadership is absolutely necessary to their being able to function.

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@MichelleAndHerCurls]

Beautifully said.

[@nogames8982]

The whole positive only training techniques have messed up a lot of dogs. And now it’s starting to enter the horse world and it’s not working. Just like it doesn’t work with some dogs. It’s not gonna work with some horses. The differences that the horse can kill you a lot easier than a dog can. People need to grow backbone. They need to grow a pair. You don’t have to be mean. When horses deal with each other they’re not always gentle and positive. Give those positive only people a horse like this and see how it turns out. It won’t be pretty.

[@TheBRR2011]

So much value in this video. Once again, it’s all about us humans. This horse is very smart and as soon as he’s treated with the correct approach he gets very responsive. He just got wrong patterns due to untrained humans.

[@stacywilk]

Nice video. He is a beautiful, strong horse. She has the confidence and patience to work with him, there will be a few bumps but they'll get there together. As long as she owns her space so he doesnt hurt her in the process. You got this!

[@MrEzekiel1982]

Through your patience and dedication you’re making this world a safer place for horses and people. 🎉

[@KingsMom831]

Thanks for another great video Ryan!!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tracydreelin1119]

You are the best horse analyst out there...No Question...

[@user-ve7ji8zb8v]

I really like watching Ryan’s videos - Very informative and I like Ryan’s energy. He’s a benevolent, confident, calm leader. Great role model.

[@mamabear1260]

You always amaze me Ryan that you always are able to meet people where they are at with their horse training skills. Everyone's training, experience and knowledge of horses are at different levels. I commend you. Love your content. Thanks for sharing.❤❤

[@70sGirl67]

I love how quickly you connect with the horses you are working with.

[@amandaparon5687]

Hopefully their connection will grow & he's now found his forever home because there is communication he understands now❤

[@lydiah7184]

Ryan almost got whacked with the stick when the gal was owning her space lol 😂

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

😂 it's dangerous out there!

[@SusanBryden-vn7mh]

4:40 What I like about Ryan’s coaching is how thorough he is. I just started volunteering at my friend’s horse rescue and as I am recalling an experience handling a horse the question I have about how to do it better he is answering in real time. I was thinking about how i was getting crowded leading a particular horse and now have some strategies to handle that, but my other question was about what my emotional state should be as I apply pressure or dominance. Ryan gets straight to the point of saying “when we have to get bigger with a horse and put more pressure on - people really have to really get their emotions up to do that and that’s not good…. You need to be assertive with a horse with no emotion attached to it.” Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thanks

[@stephaniedustin5059]

I think the owner has some great tools now and will be successful. Thanks for sharing.

[@shelm-b8p]

Bottom line: you have to ask yourself, are you up to work with a dominant horse for the rest of his life? He will never be not dominant. What he needs to learn is that you are his leader = protector, but also accept other humans. That is not easy. This one session was great, but like a drop of water on a hot plate (German saying). I am taking from experience, I have a dominant mustang mare. It took me months to be truly accepted as her leader. She is so dominant that we still have discussions. She sees this as a sport to put me on the spot occasionally. So you see, this will never stop. Which matches my personality. Ask yourself if this works for you.

[@LianeRollin]

Thank you Ryan to help the horse and the owner.

[@NNLBC]

another great training, thank you for sharing

[@ericaknesek3266]

I really appreciate that point about them processing the information I’ve never ever heard a trainer say that before and it makes so much sense

[@Apb23]

Thank you for teaching about the different states of mind of a horse… that really helps my understanding of the horse and why they are doing what they are doing.

[@mistymountains9968]

One can see that this is a very intelligent horse, and he has great potential!

[@PhilipCheadle]

Great clarity in explaining the nuances of different pressures and releases here. Your teachings are always so powerful because we can understand the steps and then apply them ourselves. Nice result!

[@tarinmccoy]

I notice whenever you use more pressure with wild horses or horses like this one, I never see you come from a place of anger or punishment. And they typically come around quite quickly to your methods.❤

[@debtompkins5363]

and each person who gets near him will have to establish that they too are leaders.

[@michelleford7392]

Excellent as always!

[@fernemcallister6774]

That’s a smart horse!

[@corinneguest]

Horse was very responsive, did not take long to understand what was needed and who was boss. Hope she can keep it up and not be afraid, even walking the line she did not go through him, she started by being around him.

[@marycharlesworth9694]

Yet another very interesting and great video.

[@danlindeke2561]

Good job,amazing work.

[@MoniqueGartland]

I think that you are doing amazing with this horse I don’t think that you are putting to much pressure, I believe that you are putting enough pressure good job 👍

[@carolynharmon7074]

Beautiful horse, I wouldn't want to get rid of him either. Learn your lessons and he'll learn his and respect you. Good Luck, would love a progress report on this one, if the owner doesn't mind.

[@KM-lu7nh]

Wish we could have seen the entire session. I'd be like "Ryan, don't leeeeave meeeee!" 😆

[@dl2467]

Absolutely....most bad behaviors are the owners fault. Ryan u sure are in the right business & u read each horse. Such a great job. Lady u did the right thing having Ryan come.....u are on the right track now. So take charge!

[@meganpahl3612]

I REALLY wish you would come to north Idaho!

[@TrotterSoccer]

Top Video! Thanks!

[@julest5767]

he's so pretty and now his behavior can be pretty too! Because as we all know, pretty is as pretty does! Im glad for him to get the help he needs so he can have a good life!

[@lydiah7184]

Absolutely stunning horse!

[@KathleenCassidy-n9d]

I have a few questions. At minute 8:08 what would you have done if the horse had pinned his ears and become confrontational? At minute 21:27 what does changing your intention feel like in your body? Im having difficulty raising my energy. At minute 21:29 we can see the horse acting out and it would be so helpful as a viewer and learner to have witnessed how you handled that situation and gotten past that reactiveness to a calm horse. That type of behavior is scary to me and I’m trying to learn to accept the learning process, but actually seeing how you responded would’ve been very helpful. Thank you for your videos. And if you see this comment, thank you for your response.

[@undersixty]

This is sooo interesting! I'm not a horseman, but her body language looks unconfident. Hope she has more sessions with the cowboy.❤

[@michaelstewart4653]

I have had to use this concept on a few horses we have at our ranch. Keep up the good work Ryan, ...:) Wish you wore closer I would invite you to our rescue. Do you remember Maurice Thibault and Susan Nelson?

[@didibolter9362]

Handsome horse! 🐎🐴

[@marcyking461]

I suspect this lady is afraid of her horse and he knows it. They both need to work on building trust in each other. Once that's done, she'll have a jewel of a horse on her hands. He is a beauty!

So hard to hear to the owner speak because of the wind.

I have similar issue with my pony the difference is that after he kicks out he wil bolt.. and he only does this things when he is driven forward from the ground

Hi Ryan... I just found your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching your videos.. and you're so great!! I was wondering about your Patreon membership... if I joined the $10 a month plan first ... can I upgrade later to the $20 plan?

[@melodyb1287]

There are a lot of good horses out there. I would think twice about keeping one that would like to put me in the hospital. I hop the training with Ryan helps.

[@ericaknesek3266]

I noticed the horses on the left the gray they’re paying pretty much attention also😂

[@dianebarrett5998]

Great video for people whos horse is dangerous

[@angelsoul3359]

I keep wondering…..How many owners talk continuously around their horses? Is it possible that horses are soothed and calmed by hearing Ryan’s voice? Could this be helping the horses gain confidence in the person handling them? Could it be, at least in part, responsible for the improvement in a horse’s behavior?

[@davidj5718]

Hey Ryan I’m so bummed I missed you at horse expo man really wanted to meet you . Any chance your coming next year

[@kerriemert7263]

Wish you could have either resay what shebsaid or do something different with your mic, as sometimes when you interview outside w/the wind you get interference.

[@katec708]

awwww hell nah i never want to be harsh w/ critters but dang he's being nasty! so glad u showed him u werent gonna be scared of his shenanigans

[@tracydreelin1119]

Hi there I'm in South Africa and my horse doesn't want to get touched and buks all the time and I'm literally out ideas can you please help me some how..

[@catwoman2596]

Do what you can to make him curious about you.

[@lindseynapier293]

I can’t tell but was there contact with the whip on the horse or was it just hitting the ground?

[@lisastorm1212]

Contact twice. Unfortunately he had to, you can't bluff, the horse didn't move from the space. There was no anger in it, just asserting and no punishment. If this horse hadn't learned that dominant dangerous behaviour from previous people, he wouldn't have had to do the contact. Smart horse, just about fell in love with Ryan after the second contact. Horses like it if you are clear and they don't have to be in charge.

[@BridMhor]

I was wondering that too.

[@123sette]

Not too much pressure at all : around 12'57'' he is even on three legs, so he feels totally comfortable even with you so close.

[@TPWK216]

I think this horse has just learned a behavior to be dominant. It was way to easy for ryan to come in and gain his respect only with being consistant. The horse seems superfun, not a beginners horse!

[@Supreme-Emperor-Mittens]

You Kick... You get SPANKED !!! No Kicking.

[@stephengunterdc9651]

I'm not sure that was the lesson, or the intention. Punishment seems contrary to what I see being taught here.

[@lisastorm1212]

He didn't get spanked for kicking. Rewatch.

[@rockinu440]

@@stephengunterdc9651leadership was asserted, sometimes that has a physical component. Watch how horses interact with each other. Hell just watch how this horse tried to demonstrate his dominance.

Orphaned foals raised on a bottle by people act like that because people think they're cute, want to be friends and don't understand the language of horses. Not saying this horse was an orphan but I wouldn't be surprised.

This video seemed to edit out important parts of this training moment which is not the norm for this channel.

[@LianeRollin]

She will keep her horse, I am sure.

[@meganpahl3612]

Seems like he's had experience with people coming and going too often. He is used to being on his own (in his own mind at least) This is why they seem to threaten those who are there to stay and in a loving manner. The horse feels like they are going to be dumped or given up on and therefore on their own yet again because that is the way they like it and are accustomed to. You can see he's got a great horse in him but needs to be shown he is NOT the alpha. This horse feels he is a wild horse. No stability= no respect. Bring him in with firm but warm love girl!!! He's expecting to just be shipped away again.

Cannot hear, very windy….

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

[@vallriesweeney3987]

He may have been a rejected foal. Bottle babies are often obnoxious. Then he also seems to feel that he wants to be alpha. What Ryan doing is establishing himself as the alpha.
