Shirtless Jake Learning Some Horse Behavior - Why Bucees & Voodoo Get Along Now

[@ShirtlessJake]

Thanks Rick! I’m sure I’ll make many more mistakes in the future for you to teach me with. I’ll try the straight line today!

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

👍👍 we all make mistakes, we can just try not to repeat them and learn from them. :)

[@lkidawg407]

your Dan's son 😮

[@NathalieLSmith]

We all learn and do better after mistakes 🤗

[@erynlasgalen1949]

Life is a learning process. Chances are that without Rick's help you would eventually have noticed the right way to go about things. I've had horses on my place since I was 13. Now I'm 72 and I still am learning things from Rick. Other times, the stuff I just came to do naturally, Rick gives me the reason why.

[@desireemichelsen9206]

There are many powerful documentaries out there on behaviours within herds. It’s fascinating. I already knew what Rick was going to tell you when I saw Jakes video. I love that you take the time Rick to teach Jake ❤️

[@ericwilcox710]

The road to success is paved with mistakes. The only time you truly fail is if you refuse to learn from them and give up.

[@th.burggraf7814]

If I had a child who wanted to learn how to deal with horses I'd get 'em to watch this channel. Everything I hear makes perfect sense. 👍🏻

[@pawsedclaws]

I got a chuckle out of you telling Jake he is a good boy.

[@lisawildes88]

Jake is a learner..glad to see he is open to advice..good video rick

[@brandoni49]

That was awesome. 👏 👏. Rick explains it so well that even a non horse owning fool like myself gets it.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@aralnoza]

Ditto.

[@sherifromcanada7431]

Jake has a great sense of humor.

[@fishermansdaughter5793]

Thanks Rick for being a nice guy who doesn’t mind sharing his knowledge & that sense of humor, love it 😊❤️

[@NathalieLSmith]

Morning Rick and horsey pp Nice learning video we clearly can see the “respect noted “ to voodoo from the other horse 🐴 👏🏻🥰

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

🍎🍎🥕🥕

[@janetdoten9908]

I'm glad you gave Shirtless Jake a compliment . Lester's negative towards Jake too hard in my book.

[@carrievornkahl6442]

Buckees is blind in the eye farthest from where Voodoo was standing. This time he could see him walking up to him. I think when Voodoo comes in on the blind eye side is when buckees doesn't know to step back.

[@ladylotusinc]

💜 30 seconds in and already laughing Thank you so much for taking the time to help Jake. He seems like he's gonna take all your suggestions to heart and learn a lot!

[@Ceemoore3000]

Rick, you have the best laugh. It's so infectious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Martlin]

Love how you point out things that most people would never give a thought to. Great video. I could tell Jake appreciated your help.

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

Jake is a good kid.

[@vegawarren9050]

Don’t forget Rick, he is also blind on the Other side. That would have been different if Vodo came in on his blind side.

[@kkdoc7864]

Rick, what you said here about people living up to whatever expectations you have for them is one of the most profound social statements of our times. When the swamp dwellers declare skin color a sign of being either privileged or victimized, the community divides along those lines. Each group adopts the attitudes and beliefs of the category it’s been assigned to. A false narrative ensues, and the resulting chaos we are seeing today is absolutely predictable. It’s just common sense.

[@tabathahagan6913]

Great video Rick, thanks for checking it out.... I know Jake will appreciate it 🤠🤠

[@patmcdonald4607]

Jake listened to you, he really is smart. He hasn't been working there very long so he has a lot to learn. You bet, those horses are smarter than a lot of humans. Thanks for helping him

[@Cynthiadelat850]

Thank you for youre explaining to Jake. He's learning a lot of this. I couldnt explain it better.

[@Wolfpug]

Love how you make it so easy to understand what is going on with the herd. Jake has come a long way with the animals & understanding what their habits & personalities are.

[@natthebrat100nm]

So glad he learnt the rite way. He's gonna be running that place one day lol

[@katjs]

Good job Shirtless Jake. One of these days the world will see that Rick knows his stuff. I'm glad you saw the world through your horses' eyes and 'thought like a horse" and have already made a difference in their lives.

[@justinefeist1864]

Thank you Rick 🥰 I love this type of lesson video that you do. There is so much that can be learnt from watching and listening to you and the animals 🥰🥰

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tammy3635]

Rick you are a great teacher. I learn so much from you. So glad you helped out Jake ❤

[@duxdawg]

Suh-weet!!! It's awesome watching the lightbulb come on. Ya done good Rick. You too Jake.

[@jeliarra]

Rick's teachings come to fruition!

[@rhondapopowich3904]

What a great learning video 🤗

[@shellyhuckabay3819]

They have always put out multiple piles, it just used to be in the yard in half barrels around the fence

[@julialarson3104]

I just discovered your videos over the last few months. Not only have I learned about horses which would scare me to be next to one because they are sooooooo big and no I don't own a horse that wears a pink saddle pad, but what passion looks like. This great love you have for your horses and all the other animals around your place has inspired me to see what true passion means and all that you give of yourself all your knowledge and the joy that it brings you so that others can learn all they can for the benefit of their horse. I desire a passion like this in a different area of my life that has nothing to do with horses but what is important to me.

[@aralnoza]

Agreed.

[@andstillirise4690]

Jake was previously spreading the piles out the way you suggested in the old pasture. But he was trying to take your advice on your first video when you said the piles should be spread out more.

[@nettiemarie9978]

Hey Rick, Thanks for helping Jake he’s a good man. Love how you share your knowledge of horses. I’ve learned so much from you over the years and I thank you. Good advice is a gift and great advice is a treasure. ♥️ to the boys! Enjoy your day 🤠

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Thanks 👍

[@annhowcroft9493]

I haven't heard, "kiss the ring" since my husband died. Thanks for bringing back a good memory.

[@colettephilcox231]

Awesome learning video Rick. Also jake has come along way from being scared of horses to being able to turn them out feed em and be this close. Way to go to both Rick n jake.

[@dottiscamprunamuck2830]

I've seen how it's conforting for the lower animal when the find out their place. Especially if they have a awsome leader. Gives them less to worry about.

[@Spiritprime91]

Jake did a good job, glad he's taking your advice. He didn't have to, but he did

[@deborahgarner5464]

I believe that donkey is Ivy and she thinks she’s a pony 😄. Voodoo and Buc-ee goes along with her on that! That’s why she is allowed to share with them. Thanks, Rick!

[@topekaflash]

I have learned so much from you Rick. I was able to recognize the horse communication when I first watched Jake’s video. Now wait until Jake watches some of your old knots tying videos….

[@MaggieObernier]

RICK, I looked through the comments & didn't see this question: " Why is Voodoo shaking their tail so much & no one else is?" I guess to make himself known, bigger or 🤔? Maybe because he knows Bucees is blind in the Right eye & he has to alert him more than anyone else? They are so smart!! Thank you for your interest & caring. Jake seems like a really caring young man with a great family. I watch all of you .. Rick's & Morrow's! My favorite channels ... The only ones I watch religiously💗💗! Thank you & as BGrace says "HAVE A GREAT DAY!" !!

[@motherofdragons5287]

They shake their tails to chase off the flies.

[@amarley100]

Thanks for offering Jake your experienced knowledge with the horses.

[@PennelopeWhitmore]

I'm so glad you did this,thanks Rick. Jamis channel is From suits to boots. Jake has seriously come so far! I consider animals amazing Judges of character and they trust Jake and he's only been there a few months. Everybody's working together to keep the babies safe and happy. It is truly amazing the power our minds and the words that come from our mouths are. Love yinz guys!

[@rebekahjeanperry1686]

Jake has been there longer than a few month's.. Jake just needs to be more attentive when being shown how to do it the right way.. So stop being so molly coddling and trying to make excuses for Jake.. Your just hot for him and not useing your head#

[@jordan.ashlee1068]

@Rebekah Jean Perry . . ….. What ? . . 👁👄👁

[@christinedoss9867]

You are humble enough to listen to advise, Jake!!

[@lanhamation_2009]

Good Morning! 🌞

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Good morning!

[@sheilamerritt3199]

Thanks Rick. I am not a horse person but I have learned so much watching your posts. I know Jake is learning from you too.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Glad to hear it

[@naneki3987]

Jami is ''From Suits to Boots" bc Jake is scared of horses. Geat job explaing how feeding can be less chaotic.

[@sheilaneitzel9100]

We have to remember that Buckies is blind in one eye.

[@dianneguarino2348]

I glad Jake took your advice he’s a great kid. I love Voodoo face marking it reminds me of Moe from the 3 stooges 😊. Have a good day

[@carrie4887]

He finally poured the food out 1st before letting them come in. I always wondered why he didn’t do that! It drove me crazy! Less stressful and so much easier! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Grandma-l7l]

I learned alot about horses that is also a human reaction. I can just hear Jake when he found out you made a video of him. "How many times am I going to be a stupid human this time?"

[@suepeck3943]

Jake will love this.

[@Ullabrittnielsen]

Rick, you are so sweet 👍👍👍 so kind to Jake "this moo-cow" 😄

[@bridgetbrady52]

When I was watching Jake's video...I was actually talking to my phone that's Buckee yielding! I know he didn't hear me. I wish you could spend a couple days with Jake and teach him horse language. ❤️

[@erinsue5]

Jake is a good boy!

[@aralnoza]

0:30 I'm sure Jami eye rolling at you Rick. 😂

[@jwalker2276]

Omg 😂. Stop stopping to sniff the tiger Buddy! Lmao. Too funny Rick

[@deniseheon8842]

Great video Rick !! Definitely seen ucee give voodoo the respect ect.. I like how you explain it. Thanks I always learn the way you explain things! Poor Bucee is also blind on the right side., Jake a good farm hand and nephew he's always willing to learn how to do things differently to make it work ❤️🐎❤️🐴

[@kaymusick8083]

Thank you Rick for helping Jake out. Bless you

[@WASPwarrior1982]

TY Rick for sharing your wisdom once again.👍 Great 👍 job Jake!🤘

[@karen81986]

I felt bad he yelled at voodoo. But glad you helped Jake out.

[@Cute-Zie]

I won't say no if you make videos about ima survivor Sanctuary LOL - just starting but you have my attention!!! Thanx Rick! Great video

[@cheryljones5327]

I could watch your videos all day. Your explanations are not only clear but fun too. I certainly understand why you did some training and teaching on handlers of dogs. I’ve been pulling my hair out at feeding time and this is so clear, problem over. This is why YOU HAVE TO put out more videos! HA. We’re you an instructor of officers too?

[@billr3053]

Definitely he was. Use-of-force trainer (police), unarmed hand-to-hand combat, plus weapons (of various kinds) use instructor. Tons of certificates, commendation. Plus military & police dog trainer & instructor there too. Also has good foundation in psychology, behavioral sciences.

[@cheryljones5327]

Amazing. Quite a guy. He makes learning fun, love the laugh. Very rare guy. Thanks for the reply.

[@elinoirsmythe224]

Great video Rick, Jake did awesome thanks to your advice :) He's a lovely guy and so are you

[@PamelaAmberson]

Yes and Voodoo was coming in on Buccee on the eye he can see so Buccee yielded.

[@roseanncoffman-davis8485]

Rick thank you for this video and not crackin on Jake too much. 🤣 He does love to learn and I feel like you are trying to do that without condescending him so much!!! We all know there are lessons and then there is just someone saying you are an idiot and putting you down. I feel like Jake gets that treatment too much from others.

[@lindafishkin5795]

Good Morning Rick ☕️☕️

[@nancydalton4629]

Rick, I don’t have horses but you have taught me some things about them. I told Jake to watch Buckee step back when Voodoo comes in and then he let Buckee come back in. You are so smart you have taught me a little about horses!!! I hope Jake continues to listen to your advice. I don’t know if you know this but Jake is afraid of horses which I think he needs to work on. He is not as bad as he was but he does not show them the kind of attention he does the other animals. Great job 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@tamijean6616]

Love learning from you Rick, you make it understandable.

[@vtee361]

This was such an informative video in so many ways. Your observation on human and horse behaviour is on point !! The brown eye/ blue eye “ experiment” was so interesting and frightening at the same time. Thank god it would never be allowed to happen today. Jake is such a good kid and in is in good hands with you as a mentor. 👍👍

[@joymaddox4279]

Great to see ppl with minds opened for learning and even greater to see knowledgeable folks teaching. Awesome videos.

[@aralnoza]

They are rare these days.

[@glendakeevers6087]

Jake caught on really quickly…good job Jake😊👍

[@billie8713]

Great video Rick, I don't own any horses and I watch and rewatch all your videos and I clearly saw it as soon as it happened when the other horse took a step back and I see horses totally different now, I wish I knew someone who had horses so I could get some experience bc I have always loved horses and been in awe if them since I was a kid, I even collected horse toys and whatnot anyway I digress, love your clear feedback and I think Jake really does respect what you say and you are helping him and the those animals live a much happier and safer life! Much love and respect to you Rick! ❤️ 🤍💙 P.S. the way you described the horses like buddy getting eaten was so funny and so accurate! Lucky that he isn't living in the Savanah hahaha "poooooor buuuuddy" 😂

[@ashleigh6152]

Good morning Rick! 🌄

[@justmepat5994]

very good Rick I like showing explaing I hope Jake watches this one

[@heatherkirwan822]

i think the fact that vodoo aproached buckees from his sighted eye makes a big difference if had been from his blind side it could have led to biting again, i wonder if it would be possible to train vodoo to only approach from the left? it would take a lot of training but it might be worth it

[@erynlasgalen1949]

Voodoo may already know that Bucee is blind in that eye. Horses are very observant. Because in the wild, if they're not, they're dinner.

[@MaggieObernier]

Interesting!

[@heatherkirwan822]

@@erynlasgalen1949 I think if vodoo was aware of this he would give more leway when he catches buckees on the wrong side and doesnt get the right responses

[@theresauhlenhake3822]

Thanks Rick for your explanation. I’m sure Jake Will appreciate the feed back

[@kelsiecaswell9845]

I would definitely add the bucket hook along with the chain through the hole and hooked in, Jake. Cheap parts and labor and it keeps your horses extra safe.

[@aralnoza]

Thanks Rick! You make learning fun! 💕

[@kimc8366]

Thank you so much for this video Rick! I love how you break things down. I’m learning so much along with Jake! Plus I get a kick out of when you start laughing. It’s very catching. My husband looks at me like I’m crazy because I’m laughing at you laughing! Lol

[@begonebegone7825]

You're really half horse right? You're fantastic with horse queues! Amazing. Respect.

[@paolob.7296]

Wow 😯 I looove these videos!! Thank you Rick! I love watching and learning from videos like this!!

[@charlean_sherrod]

You are so always spot on, I sure hope Jake watches this.

[@motherofdragons5287]

I’m sure he does. He’s so eager to learn more and his humility is to be admired.

[@WhitneyAllisonGG]

I don't think Buckees and Voodoo doesn't hate each other it's about heirarchy. Jake is learning about the horses herd mentality. Maybe he ought to use the social distancing rules

[@robinmccann5629]

Voodoo is always a good boy❤

[@_Chessa_]

XD Jake is a good boy! Hahaha. First time I believe seeing shirtless Jake. Unless this is the guy that had that crazy flood in their barn from a torrential down pour? I did see that one! :)

[@sharondykes4338]

so glad you explain what's going on, I saw Jake's video and wondered why they didn't spread out to all the piles, didn't know they couldn't see them, must be especially hard for Bucees since he's only got one good eye - question about the fence stake being used as a gate stop, is that a good idea or should the gate be allowed to swing open wider as the bigs come through? looks like it caused the gate to bounce back and bump into one of the donkeys

[@heatherhofferkamp7129]

I was able to see buckees respect and withdraw to voodoo approach to that pile. Just from watching your ofirst video. You are very informative. I already know how to watch ppl behavior. You are helping me apply that to the animals. There was a video of Lester's , unwelcome visitors, i think. Two little goats escape on an adventure to the Sanctuary. At first glance you would think Annie the alpaca was running them out. But she is the guardian of the babies. I think she was trying to round those babies up . What are you doing out on your own? Anyway I was able to look at why she ran into the herd. Who was in there. Not just an animal not accepting two odd ones. On the contrary. She was trying to accept them. I look forward to more videos bc of your education. Ty!

[@rebekahjeanperry1686]

We always straight lines the feed and we didn't have any problems with the horses and cows

[@flycrew]

That's some awesome improvement Rick 👏 What a turn around.

[@lynnmallen9699]

Great explanation! Kisses to all the boys! The Dude Ranch...lol

[@grassypockets]

Great teaching moment again Rick. Always enjoy your videos. I have learned and continue to learn a lot about horses .I appreciate the time that you put into these videos. 😊 Thank you and have a great day!

That was great didn’t know if you know it but one of those horses has a blind eye.

[@kat-nx8jl]

I saw my first ad on your videos ever. Strange. Lol
