Watched just one time but looked like a friesan to me - and I remember the days I got my big puppies that acted just like this turkey . At the moment I've got two of these big boys and a Clydes. They are very much like lap dogs and very food oriented. Will walk over you if you allow them to. They will even climb on your lap if they could. Very sensitive dudes but need consistent firm boundaries - no meaness at all because the have big feelings lol. After having friesians for almost 30 years I cannot imagine not having one or two or more. My Clydes of 19 hands is the exception but he won me over with his Friesian like heart. The biggest movement, the biggest feelings ( beside Arabs), and the silliest personalities.

I think you shocked the pants right off of him! What a gorgeous boy … he wasn’t a Friesian was he? I thought he might be a tad small for that and figured he may be a Cobb? Or a X between the two? He is an absolute stunner, whatever the breeding! You educate every horse regardless of the circumstances, that there are basic rules/laws, which must be adhered to. Hence, you consistently get the same result each and every time. You make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing … I still can’t get over the transformation, especially when it was just one session!

Great job,Steve!! For heavens sake, NEVER HAND FEED A HORSE!! Especially a stallion!! They will crowd you and have ZERO RESPECT of you if you do. If you want to give them a treat, do it at the end of working them, and PUT IT IN THEIR FEED BUCKET!! I'm training 2 stallions right now. They are half-brothers, born the same year. I've had them for the last 3 years, and this is their first year of showing. I've taken both to many shows the last 2 years to get them used to the noise and atmosphere of the showgrounds. I would enter them, then withdraw them, but that allowed me to be on the grounds to ride them around. This year, they've both done very well at the 2 shows they've gone to. One was straight Show Jumping. The other was a Combined Dressage/Show Jumping Show. We had people come by the trailer after the show congratulating us on our beautiful "geldings," . They were very surprised to find out that they were stallions. They were tied to the trailer, with your clips, just munching away on hay, with mares in season going by with no reaction, to the mares at all, by either of them!!

I think feeding treats from hand is not a problem bit it becomes one when the owner doesnt teach the horse to be gentle with it. After all its just another question of respect

[@jenniferlehman326]

@lupinchenbrause9017 At the riding school, we teach the kids that if they want to treat the horse assigned to them from the school, to put it in their feed tub in their stall after the lesson. That way, the horse never gets it into its head to overstep its bounds with the kids. As an adult, depending on the horse, I MIGHT, sometimes treat from my hand. But only after I have established who is the leader and who is the follower in our two herd dynamic. But I never treat the stallions by hand. I would lose any respect of the leadership status I have with them if I did. I need to keep that leadership sacrosanct. I have spent the last 3 years teaching these 2 stallions, respect of Space, putting the foundation on them to get them to where they are today. Able to go to a show and act like they are geldings!! I will not jeopardize that for any reason, especially by giving them treats by hand. They get them in their feed tubs. Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@Thedarkydragoni]

Hand feeding treats is not the problem, it might've not worked for you sure but just because it didnt work for you doesnt mean it doesnt work in general. I've seen and worked with horses (stallions included) who are very well behaved when given a treat from hand, they dont crowd, dont step into your bubble etc. every horse is different of course but at the end of the day its how you train your horse and the kind of relationship/bond you have with them. Also the whole herd mentality 'im the leader' thing is just disgusting, you're not a horse, a horse shouldnt be your 'follower' it should be your partner, an animal you work with, an animal you have mutual respect with. The whole 'im the leader of this herd' thing is just an easy way out.

[@tracyjohnson5023]

Steve is fantastic as always, but the owner DOES NOT need to keep this horse a stallion with her. There's about 10% of the male horses in each breed that should be left intact. There's about 5% of horse people that should handle them. It takes a special kind to handle stallions safely and fairly. I've got 50+ years of horse riding/handling under my belt and I have never kept a stallion at my place. I've ridden quite a few stallions successfully, but I don't have the right stuff to handle one daily. If the owner is determined to breed this horse, she should send him to a stallion station that's experienced with handling, breeding. They even handle all the AI collection and shipping. Small price to pay for your life and horses sake imo.

[@claudiadickerman4218]

NO ONE, should own a stallion UNLESS they know how to train one. The first thing is to establish trust and that you, the trainer, are in charge. I would agree that NO stud colt and certainly NO stallion should be hand fed ever. No saying no treats, but put them in a bucket on the ground, not hand feeding! In this case in such a short video, it is obvious that the lady owner has made some serious mistakes with this guy and he knows it and it will take much longer now for her to get his respect, she MUST start from scratch and never never never yell or let you emotions show, and I wonder how many times her reaction to his running all over her caused her to act aggressive towards him? Why does she own a stallion. If she has a breeding farm, ok, but she should then have a trainer ON STAFF to handle the stallions. They need a firm hand and no matter how many geldings or Mares she might have trained, stallions MUST have very specific training which requires a firm hand, control of ones emotions, no aggressive anything towards him, like yelling or hitting, and much practice. She needs to go to a stallion training school or hire a trainer to work with her for several months to undo what has already gone negative between her and this boy.

[@carolmcloughlin2859]

[@FoneTool]

Clueless.

[@featheredfoothill]

So is this about trashing anyone that uses positive reinforcement, or just overall lack of training skills on the ground. The handler wasn't giving treats btw, she simply had zero tools in her pocket to communicate limits. Horses absolutely use positive and negative reinforcement with each other in a herd and respond well to both communication types with humans. Stop with the circus drama - there are no easy potions, lotions, or gimmicky instant fixes. He likely has never had limits set, he heeded pressure and release well this time, he may not tomorrow, without an overall revamping of how he's approached. Rope halters, adding pressure to the poll, yanking his head, whacking with a flag. Yes, it works, but what's the long term picture here? If you cannot safely teach your horse limits on safe behavior while feeding them, leading them, riding them, don't have a horse. This horse doesn't have issues simply because he was fed. We all feed our horses, teach them MANNERS - don't care if it's a bucket, your hand, the ground that you're providing food on. There are no "nevers" here - only excuses for lack of skill. And yes, reward has it's place too, you don't have to beat them and yank on their heads to get results. You can, however, teach them limits, and use - & + well and effectively. It's such a boring thing to see someone cash out on someone else's methods (Parelli), then dig on other's approach. If ANY approach you are using, whether it's positive or negative, isn't working, that's ON you to find something that does work OR go back to the books to learn a method correctly and not lazily or take short cuts. Timing and practice is everything. So it's not really about the approach it's about using the approach correctly.
