CK. His teeth , float if nes. Then if all is well , put on an old wore out saddle , when he rears jump and pull , slam him to the ground , in a softer spot ,daaa , as soon as he scrambles up be mounted , I go down baby your going too. Probley never do it again ! P.S. that takes a cowboy !

Thank you, Ryan, for your kindness and understanding of this horse and taking time with him! I've worked with horses over 37 years now and have come across all types of trainers. It's so refreshing to see someone who cares about the horse!! Thank you!!! ☺️

I owned a beautiful palomino named Misty. I owned her from age 6 until her passing at age 21. She flipped over backwards on me 12 times until I finally figured her out. Vets checked out everything they found nothing. I simply changed her bit to a bit less bridle/ hackamore. She stopped flipping. Her mouth was just extra sensitive. Her whole being was sensitive. We road hundreds of miles together, trails and shows. She and I became inseparable. I could ride her anywhere with a thought alone eventually. When she passed I lost my best friend. ❤️

[@judisnyder4868]

This woman stated she used bit less bridles (hackamores).

Good for this lady to check for pain first to the point she even rode bitless. Most people don't even think pain first. She a good owner.

[@chelseazarate189]

Absolutely but behaviors develope from holes in their foundation(whether that be pain/fear avoidance or even just negligence) I would never slap a bitless bridle or hackamore on a horse with a known issue. Start from the bottom, reassess and fill in holes

[@brittnyhawk8633]

@chelseazarate189 Yes agree. I start on the ground first and see if find holes there first then build up. I prefer to go home at the end of the day as I arrived there 😆

I am more impressed with this trainer than I expected to be. This is a very sensitive horse (some call this reactive) and in my experience there are a lot of 'cowboy trainers' who don't know how to deal with this type of horse. Well done Mr. Rose.

[@stacisewell7824]

When I was 11 or 12 years old, I used to ride horses at a friend's farm. They bought a beautiful bay gelding, that was a dream to ride and work. Part of the deal was a buckskin gelding with behavior problems came with the other horse. They were bonded friends. The buckskin had been abused badly, you could feel old scars from spurs and whips under his coat. His mouth had been damaged and he had a serious mistrust of men. Something about him lured me in and I begged to be given a chance to work with him. Gaining his trust and getting to a point where he would give me what I asked of him, took several months. Most of that time wasn't in the saddle. It was working around him, working other horses and bringing him along on rides. Showing him that humans weren't all abusive. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. He taught me so much! Watching your video was terrific. You truly have a gift. It was lovely to watch that gelding begin to focus on you and to give you what you were asking for. This was the first video, of yours, I have watched, but it will not be the last. Thank you very much!

[@Blueangel17lake]

I only have one question, and I apologize if it’s naive: how come he did not try lunging without the flag first?

[@yvonneschouten8973]

Lucky horse to finally find a trainer who is trying to understand and connect with him. He looks very standoffisch and tight lipped with his head being high up in the air! It's great to see how his defensive behaviour disappeared when he came in lowering his head, chewing and even taking a deep breath. He looks like a worried horse that doesn't trust people too much. I hope you get to work him some more and he can learn to understand to get soft and forward. Thank you for sharing!

[@2010GLambert]

My horse growing up was a 'flipper.' I was the only one that could really ride him. 18.1hh warmblood. Grew up in an area where ground work wasn't really a thing that was done - it was all hop on and hope for the best. The horse was extremely introverted, actually seemed quite shut down when I first started riding him (no personality, no reaction to anything aside from rearing/flipping over from pressure when he was unsure or nervous of something). Took several months for him to come out of his shell. Slow and easy with pressure won the race. Even after 2 years I'd still have some days where I'd get on and would spend 40 min just trying to get him to walk on a loose rein without rearing. Loved to see the groundwork side of this! If only more people took the time to understand the horses they were working with, as you do.

[@Doxymeister]

Interesting case. This horse not only held his head high, he also seemed determined to look outward at everything except the human in the ring with him, right up until his attention was required. He'd focus on Ryan but as soon as he moved out, his head was pointed outward--he rotated his ears like he was listening, but continued to focus outside the ring. It will be interesting to see part 2. Hope you can help this horse--I had a well-trained horse flip over on me when I was in my teens, and am now profoundly disabled due to old injuries. It's really easy to get badly hurt working around horses. On to part 2...

[@Growmap]

We have to wonder about the other "trainer" she sent this horse to because I would swear this horse was never properly started. At the beginning, he acts just like a horse when you first begin ground work leading up to riding with one. But later, the lariat rope on his rump didn't bother him. So I suspect someone did teach him to lead using one. In the other trainer's defense, though, I've seen a lot of people who think they're trainers because they finish horses that someone else started properly. There is a big difference between starting one at the beginning and being able to continue training on a horse that already knows the basics. And I could easily prove that. Send them out to catch a horse that has never been caught. Or ask them to lead a horse that is not halter trained across a paddock.

[@stevenhenry4227]

Hello Maria how’s the weather over there

[@lanischagreywolf6452]

I greatly enjoy your methods. I used to follow other popular trainers over the years but I found that some of their harsher methods did not work for every horse. Exhausting a horse doesn't always make them think and in some cases makes them compliant only because the punishment is definitely not worth it. I like how you allow the horses to problem solve. It's very enjoyable to watch your videos and I always like having lots of tools to work with myself.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thank you

[@GoToPhx]

Agree. Too many don't understand how to work with a more sensitive/reactive horse .

[@nancys.5968]

He's beautiful! In the first 15 minutes it looked like his attention was half elsewhere - looking away from you or at things off in the distance, and so he seemed confused by what was expected of him. Looks like he fully engaged with you around the 20 minute mark and was much more focused.

Horses came into my life unexpectedly in my later 40's. In the form of a 30yr old rock solid gelding who was suppose to be dying. We gave each other 8 amazing years and I've never looked back. I love Ryan's honest approach and I suspect the horses he works with do too.

[@tammynichols7773]

I had a horse years ago that had a similar build. He once flipped on me without much warning. He had always been pretty obedient and soft and calm. Previously I had always used a padded solid girth. I realized later that I had used a string girth and he was cinch bound. When I mounted, he started to move forward as asked and kind of hunched to a stop and backed up. I’d had a bad day and chose to be frustrated by it rather than getting off and checking the equipment. I tried to force him forward, and the next thing I knew, we were flipping! No warning at all! From that point I would slightly snug the cinch, then lift his for legs to stretch out the skin to avoid any pinching. I wondered how I missed the signs of him going up until another point, using a string girth. I was saddling him as normal, I was about to stretch his legs to smooth the skin when someone surprised him. I watched in horror as he stuck his back feet under himself and with his head still down, he flipped, withers first! He was tied to the trailer, so the lead rope kept him from going over. That was the moment that I realized why I had no warning… anyway, because this horse is built a lot the same, perhaps he’s either previously been, or is currently getting, or being reminded of being, cinch bound and that’s a contributing factor. I look forward to seeing the end results!

[@lianna_burgener]

"If you're calm, the horse is calm" EXACTLY the reason I haven't ridden my horse (12 yr old Swedish Warmblood) for almost a month, because I'm going through a stressful situation at home. Aragon reads me so well, that if I tried to ride, it wouldn't be pleasant for either of us. He's a warmblood, and he's on the hot side. I wish more people would think about this, each and every time they decide to ride.

[@jangrahame4891]

Had a horse that was so introverted and unconnected to humans yet super sensitive to external stimuli that I called him my autistic horse. Working to get eye contact and that connection with him was long hard work; but once I did, he became a truely awesome companion. Who leaned to me to interpret how he should handle a situation.

[@senka2578]

Being introverted myself I can agree that introverts do need time to think and evaluate any situation before they act. Much of an introverts emotional response is internal. We only learn to express it externally because we live in an extroverted world that demands us to be that way. For animals, they don't understand that. So, we have to learn to accept and find the right way to communicate.

That horse definitely looks worried. I trained my horses myself. We learned together. My mare Bella would try and attack people. She would kick, charge and bite. I did some groundwork and all of those bad habits went away. Since I was training her when I didn’t know how to ride well I did a ton of groundwork. I did all of the groundwork steps without a saddle and then with a saddle. It took about two-three months before I rode her. We went very slow and built up slowly to the amount of time I spent in the saddle. Now you would never know that my horse was the worst horse in the barn. She’s very kind and cuddly. She tries to take care of me. She’s also a buckskin. It’s important to note that when I got her she had a baby that was a week old. She was only halter broke and I’m pretty sure she was beat. She would tremble and shake. It was sad. I know that if she had a baby know she would be completely fine with people going around the baby. She’s learned to trust people.

[@kingfisher9553]

This guy is really good. His energy is perfect. Also, gorgeous horse. Love how he's put together. I was particularly good with very dramatic horses and this buckskin would have confused me for a while. Ryan really knows his stuff. I'd guess that this horse could get damn near telepathic once he connected.

[@MR-lq7ss]

My first horse was like that. Once I realized she internalized her thinking, we worked out a process. It's fun to watch them thinking - theres a real depth to it.

[@christinestephenson1742]

This horses conformation on his body is OK but I would like to see more hip and hind leg. He is a bit ewe necked which makes him high headed. Also he has a very bad head, too thick, too long, and too shapeless. I bred, raised, and showed Paint horses for years.

[@rockjockchick]

I’ve just recently found you and this is my favorite video of you working so far. I like how you are very clear explaining what you do and how to read this horse. It’s always good to remind us all that they have personalities just like people and you have to take that all into account. :) I’m so glad the owners checked for pain issues first and asked for help instead of sending him to slaughter. ❤ I LOVE how your training is about connecting with the horses thinking and engaging their minds to shift the problems the horse is having.

I can't believe how low he dropped his head! He is so relaxed at that point. He has so much potential in the right hands. With the right repetition, he won't remember how to respond with fear.

[@kat0329]

Again: I love how you're way of working with horses and I see you as one of my top best trainers. The ability see what kind of individual you have in front of you and start from that. With such sensitive horses as this one, it is so important to show them that we see their small signs of anxiety or misunderstanding and reduce the pressure to prevent the "big" emotional outbursts. I have a horse like this as well, he was shut down when he came and it took many small steps and a lot of reading him in every situation to make him more relaxed and trusting. He is now a lot more outgoing, extroverted and happy horse. I believe these kind of horses are misunderstood and therefore not trusting. Keep it up Ryan, as a student with almost no income I'm thrilled to watch these free videos on KZbin. Inspiring as always. Lots of love from Sweden!

He even has a U in his neck just above the withers...This is not a dig either but just wondering if his back or SI was injured in one of his flip overs. Just a thought. Pretty boy!

I’m thinking he’s part thoroughbred

Hello Wendy how’s the weather over there

[@marilynbridges8697]

Wendy- The weak topline (good eye, by the way) is probably a result of chronic anxiety and tension manifested in the high head. It will probably improve as the horse's relaxation improves.

that's a beautiful buckskin if you don't mind my saying. thank you for all the explanation to what you're doing as you're doing it so that we as viewers can see what you're doing in real time and the reason why for that as well.

[@laineyking3355]

Thx for educating these people that don't hav a clue/don't know any better, cuz they treat all horses the same, regardless of age , needs , breeds, warm or cold bloods/ probably don't know there's a difference. U are totally correct. They generally feed all their animals the same cuz its easier / & they dont know. THANK YOU SO MUCH ❣Hope they heed ur info !!!! If they dont, please keep reminding them thank U.❤bless ur heart ❣🐎

[@tracyjohnson5023]

Love the way Ryan explains the lights are on but nobody is home thing. Body present, brain gone. Not going to mention names, but so many trainers these days flood/overload horses. Yes, they're standing there taking it, but not processing. Ryan imo does a great job giving the horse time to engage and then to process.

[@AlmaVidaHorseRanch]

This horse has a really interesting eye. I've been reading tellington-jones opinion on facial features, and she notes that horses with a narrow eye like this tend to be slower to learn/have more difficulties in training. It's a bit woo woo but still really interesting to observe 🤷‍♀️

I'm subbing to make sure I watch the next chapter of this lovely gelding becoming a useful happy citizen. John Lyons laid my foundation, Chris Croft opened new doors, but the horses hepled me the most. I still weep for horses and their owners who never "got" what I tried to share w them.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Coming soon! Thanks

[@GOGOSLIFE]

When I first got my horse, he reared up all the time. Apparently, he was abused by a previous owner. After working with him(we found out he wouldn't back up, he'd rear instead), we taught him with patience, and he turned into a very accommodating trail horse. I had a lot of injuries from him, but he was a good boy in the end. RIP Comanche!

Such a beautiful horse, can see how he’s sizing up the trainer and slowly deciding he’s okay

[@fireweedak]

Nice work! His body looks totally different after 26:00 or so. Thank you for connecting with him & sharing.

[@marthaerb9358]

I like how he’s sensitive, and I can see how he probably came unglued when his initial trainer wasn’t sensitive, causing him to run backwards and rear!

[@SheLikesSteel]

Awwww, my heart hurts for this horse.

[@acccardone7679]

Thank you for sharing this video. You have some great insights that I can see will be valuable for my horse that has had panic attacks since the day I got him. He tends to panic when pressure is applied to his pole. Chiropractic, massage, X-Rays, and other vet checks showed that his issues don't come from any of those areas. He just needs lots of attention and persistent, caring, psychologically appropriate handling to help him to hopefully get past his panic attacks... However, I would highly recommend you watch either Monty Robert's or John Lyons on Joining Up. This horse has clearly had some great foundation groundwork done in a round pen. He also shows clear signs that he feels that he thinks he has been regularly punished for doing what he has been told, so he's frustrated and is loosing trust in people. Your doing groundwork, round pen work, flag work, and rope work is helping him to regain trust and feel respected and appreciated. This is inspiring him to think more and more about trying to work with you. Nice work! Once you got him to stop refusing to acknowledge you, and actually start giving you more than 2% of his attention, then he started to actually try to work with you. The issues I see, on his end, are that he keeps refusing you by keeping his head turned away from you when you have him moving. On the other hand, your body language is such that your arm says go forward, while the direction of your body says don't go forward in THAT direction. That leaves this horse confused and trying to figure out where you want him to go. The only alternative for him is to face you and wait for you to ask him to come in. However, when you took your rope from between his legs you faced correctly and waved your rope in the clear body language signals (used by most horse trainers ever since they figured out that was how horses communicate with eachother) to drive him forward. This boy was actually paying close attention to you at that point, so he jumped to do what you asked. However, YOU didn't know you had clearly told him to get his butt moving NOW. So thank you for your insights and demonstrations on the rope work you did with this horse. That has been some useful information I look forward to applying.phycologically

@@gerrycoleman7290 Of course you would be "at fault". And most importantly, you shouldn't have bought that horse. That's exactly my point. Don't buy dangerous horses unless you are very experienced, and flipping over is just about the most dangerous behavior a horse can have. Thankfully this owner is getting the horse some help, but the habit may be too ingrained for him to ever be a safe ride

I’m impressed. Just discovered you in KZbin late last week. I like your kind and thoughtful approach.

[@benth162]

Well done. Apparently you are also a Horse Whisperer. I owned and rode horses for more than a few years. I am not into "Breaking" a horse, what I did was use a gentling technique as you are in this video. We used to call what we did, as "Sacking", in getting them used to having a saddle blanket put on their backs, and gently "driving" them teaching them how we want them to get used to a bridle or hackamore. Gentleness and love always seemed to work with my horses.

[@kimmieharrington4771]

You sir are amazing with horses. Thank you for showing us here on KZbin.

[@amandagordon3018]

Very interesting horse. The way he holds himself reminds me a lot of my Standardbred ( ex pacer) who can get very worried on occasion. What I have learnt about my Standy is taking things slow and lots of regular training and more importantly “routine” allows him to relax. He also thrives with regular riding , at least 4-5 times per week. If I take him to a new location he takes quite a bit of time to relax, but if I take him to the same location a couple of times it becomes “routine” for him. Has this horse been checked for pain? Ulcers, kissing spine? I look forward to the next video. I love your technique of using the rope around his neck and under his chest to encourage dropping of the head.

[@58landman]

He's a real beauty, love that buckskin coloring. I noticed that his 'head high' posture can be seen in old photos taken of war horses from the 1800's through the WWII era.

[@pittbullcrazy90]

He is so beautiful and I love how he is watching you more than not.

[@anniewright6358]

I think this horse is going to take a long time to have him in the right head space. With nine years being handled by different people he must be very confused regarding what is required of him. I hope I can find subsequent videos on your treatment of him. It may be that the owner will run out of money before a satisfactory conclusion is reached. Personally I believe he needs to be taken over by a competent trainer such as Ryan, and worked on for months. He could be a good money making proposition in that way. Right at the moment he’s certainly not ready for the owner to start riding him again, it could undo all good that was done in that session. Somewhere in his past he’s been trained well, judging by the way he respects the rope, but in the seven years since he’s been of a trainable/rideable age, something has gone badly wrong.

[@valeriepagendarm6376]

For this animal I think it would have been better to make the video and then add the chat as a voice over. He bonded fairly quickly to a calm, confident energy. He was never rewarded for that tho. He stood, looking confused while you were talking about people on their cell phones. And, eventually, as you continued to ignore him, he began to scan the area for a new leader and/or mountain lions.
