Thank you for demonstrating this soft approach to handling animals, I'm not a horseperson but so enjoy watching you! A question: why do you use a bit on horses when you have shown they can be ridden without it. It should be more comfortable for the horse. It may demand more of the human having to connect stronger with the horse but that's the humans problem I think.

Great video Ryan ! You say one of your mentors? Would Buck Branamin be another of your mentors as i find him very much like yourself

[@darksarcasm4835]

“I don’t want a slave-master relationship, I’m looking for a partner “. Wow! I have ridden all my life, and taken thousands of lessons over many disciplines, and this comment blows my mind. It really means a lot to me as an older rider because I need a partner, especially during competitions.

[@dianegenx]

That's really unfortunate. But good you're hearing this now.

[@KingsMom831]

What an excellent video! Especially love the part where he talked about thinking that he saw something in someone else’s horse, hopped on the horse and realized he felt something else in the horse. Biggest takeaway for me, is this master doesn’t call himself a master, he says he’s always learning. To me, that’s the mark of a good trainer and even more, a great horseman. This man is truly a student of the horse. Ryan, thanks so much for bringing us content like this.

Ray Hunt, Tom and Bill Dorrance are my mentors. Went to Ray at 17, and rode many clinics till Ray rode with an oxygen tank and climbed the fence to mount,then rode 10 hours that day. Last clinic, 2005 he didn't get out of the semi and conducted the clinic on a mic system. Recently retired my mustang, I really enjoy watching your channel, Thanks 🐎

I think this pressure release thing also can be used on people that struggle with anxiety. It's so simpel yet so effective. To create a safe place where they start to explore and make them feel they can succeed by their own choice. Very interesting principals. Thank you for a great video.

[@bonniesears5286]

Thanks Ryan for putting you and your horse out there! If a person truly wants to stay on a productive journey to improving their horsemanship skills then we must stay open and humble! This spoke highly to me about your character. I value your input as a trainer and I have used your techniques. With the utmost respect, you have been a great mentor for me and my horse!

[@mizroyalsan1351]

I cannot even begin to describe how much you have helped me, Ryan. This time last year i was scared of my horse and she was just sitting in the pasture eating, and thanks to your videos I finally have the confidence to work past her habits and become her partner and leader. Thank you so much for giving me back my love of horses!!

With out a doubt Ryan, your amazing, but Doug Jordan is truly a master in horsemanship, he's incredible no wonder he is one of your mentors 🤠. He's a very soft spoken man with gentle hands. Thanks for sharing this video Ryan. Blessings always 🙌 Jennifer

[@gardengirl1191]

I don't own a horse or live near any. But I am an elementary teacher by trade and Ryan you're a great teacher for us humans to better understand horses. I always enjoy watching you. I love to learn from you.

[@lizarutherford2477]

I’m a teacher too, and yes, I agree, RR is incredibly gifted in how to get the best out of people and horses. He has such terrific empathy with both which is v rare…for a man 😜

[@lizarutherford2477]

In my humble opinion, oc 😂

[@gardengirl1191]

Doug's horse is soooo still. He's got the horses in a calm sleep state. 😂

[@ScrolledAgain]

When he was talking about the horse not finding it "fun" I rewound and looked and sure enough, she pinned her ears for a few seconds just slightly when asked to do something in the beginning. Awesome to pick up on that.

[@PONYHEAVEN]

A treasure full of whisdom.

Wisdom gained through experience is so true Someone willing to listen to animals usually leads to special bond & treasured relationship ♥️ Blessings to all 🌻

Best subject yet. I formed a partnership with thus mare since she'd been abused, best horse I've ever had

[@BlackMoonCherryFox-Beebz]

I haven’t started riding one bit. But this helps me with just working with the horses at the Ranch I volunteer for that takes in Rescue Horses. Thanks Ryan! I have been watching a lot of your videos and its been super helpful for me and my journey here with these amazin’ Fur Babies.

[@PONYHEAVEN]

A true treasure for me, listening to this video.

[@JohnDoe-qu8ny]

Nice ❤cool thanks Ryan

[@danieljay952]

Wow I love watching Ryan because he is a master but Doug is definitely a awesome mentor and explains a lot about where Ryan comes from

[@calista1280]

I found with my young colt that just by looking where I wanted to go, that slight shift in weight would let him know and respond to the point that it was like he was reading my mind! It was exhilarating and a bit spooky at the same time! What an awesome, in sync partnership with an amazingly athletic and sensitive young horse! 🐎 He was so balanced, that he was able to do Flying Lead Changes on his first day, when he went to the trainer! I think if Doug had looked where he wanted to go, the horse would have had a better idea of what he was asking... The weight of your head and shift in hip pressure are all cues for the horse too...

[@emmab4323]

Thank you Ryan Rose, you have helped me with my OTTB and her anxiety. She is doing great and really calming down. Oh BTW her cribbing collar has been taken off and she doesn't even crib anymore. She looks at things she used to crib at and looks at me and says, WTF you want me to do with that? Amazing!!!!!

[@comesahorseman]

Subtle stuff!

[@JG-mt3rp]

What a lovely guy Doug is. And now Ryan carries the flame too.

[@dianegenx]

This is a top-notch video for folks who have learned to muscle or cowboy a horse to do what the person wants. The issue for me is that the arena is easy. I've worked my horse in the arena hundreds of times... Lessons, liberty, bareback, repetition... We are champions in the arena. On the trail? He's a different horse. I've worked with several trainers regarding this, but he still spooks at nothing and I can't take the risk of being seriously injured. It breaks my heart. It's really sad.

[@finngamesknudson1457]

Maybe try walking the horse on the trail so you’re already on the ground. Sounds as though horse is not generalizing, so anything which occurs on the trail is new, unusual and scary. More work in the arena may help you develop more of a leader role in horses mind. If they trust you as their leader they learn to trust your judgement whether something is scary. If you anticipate your horse spooking and tense upon seeing something you think might frighten your horse - he’ll pick up on that as a reason to spook. Controlling my own emotions is often hard part for me - making horse not trust me and often not act in my best interest.

[@chrisknight3071]

Thank you Ryan and Doug, very informative and pleasant to listen and watch...Wishing you the best form Wasa, British Columbia Canada. Where can I get the flag system for my arena?

[@stephiluttrell3416]

Love watching your videos. I had a couples of horses when I was a kid. I had a pinto pony when I was in the 6th grade and later I bought a Tennessee Walker who was 1 1/2 years old when I acquired her. I loved riding her. My cousin trained racking horses and rode her once and said wow she is really a spirited horse. She was so funny. She did not like to be ridden ever day and she would act up when ridden more than she liked and she would start bucking but if she hadn't been ridden in about 3 months she would come up to be ridden and be so wonderful. I would ride her with a western saddle and bare back. The first time I came to a bridge over a creek she refused to cross it. I dismounted and lead her back and forth over it until she was comfortable. Then I mounted her and rode her back and forth across the bridge until she was comfortable. I never had a problem with her on bridges again. There are so many horse tales. Again I love your videos.

[@finngamesknudson1457]

The horse is aware, it’s the human who needs to catch up. Certainly applies with our horse. Stands still for trainer to point she can stand on the saddle. I have enough trouble just staying seated in the saddle!

[@irenecoermann2439]

Interesting to watch. Would love to see him work with Skittles!

[@stephlamarch9196]

@Ryan - I was noticing something here in the video that I've seen many explanations for, but what are your thoughts on Loose or snug back cinch. I see a lot of people including Doug in the video riding with a loose back cinch.

[@freedommeow2111]

I bet a horse that is that confident running down and facing a bull, will even make the bull think twice!😂

How does he feel about giving a horse a smack on the shoulder or chest if they act up ? My trainer told me it was ok to give a smack when he acts up but I don’t feel comfortable doing that ?

I'm finding it very difficult to hear your partner, it's usually the too quiet even when your talking Ryan, but this is very difficult to hear

[@elainacasey7672]

So basically don't dictate to the animals have an actual relationship and conversation with them, and dare to try to understand them.

[@marciamcgrail5889]

A partnership where a 90lb man sits on a horse and makes it stand still in the blazing sun for nearly an hour? Doesn't sound to me like any kind of partnership worth having for one of the participants.
