Thanks Steve for telling the haters and people with no knowledge of horses to jog on

[@camartinwv]

Any time you are very skilled at something there are always people who are jealous. They are envious and start hating and talking smack trying to cover their mediocrity. As far as I can tell, Steve Young is a wizard. I am so impressed by his gift with horses and I feel blessed just to have the privilege of watching his videos.

[@fion1flatout]

It's a bit sad that there are so many people who think animals should have no part in our society at all.. they think they are being kind but imo they don't respect Mother Nature

[@biddiemutter3481]

I understand where you're coming from and I am glad to see any supportive messages. However I am wary of the popular habit of labeling anyone who disagrees with someone as a 'hater' as I don't think this is the way to positively influencing them. The aim is to educate, and people with the knowledge in an area don't need education in that area. A world in which no one is allowed to disagree or willing to accept different points of view is a sad, dangerous place imo😊

[@rickbateman2401]

I’m far from a horse expert but I have watched several of his videos where he gets a bit physical with a horse that’s out of control. I completely agree, some of these people need to jog on. There is a big difference between beating and abusing an animal and disciplining it when it goes out of bounds. The other thing that these people need to wake up and understand is that for many of these horses he is their last chance. If he can’t get them tamed down and under control, a lot of them would be headed for a nap they never wake up from.

[@flychomperfly]

​@@rickbateman2401- that's how I see it, and what I believe Steve is telling us. However, what we need to keep in mind is that he is NOT telling us to be that extreme under Normal training!! With a normal horse, it shouldn't have to get to this point --that this is for special circumstances.

[@JosieB2017]

A trainer I became friends with in the 1980s use to say “there is no such thing as a stupid horse, just stupid people.”

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

Perhaps but there are some very stubborn horses out there. We have one at the rescue that put a LOT of effort into NOT doing what you want, he is quite the prankster! He does know what you want though, he is just not super interested in helping you with that.

Idk. I've met some fantastically dim horses. There's a far cry between horses who are "no thoughts, head empty" and horses who are always thinking, but just stubborn.

[@birdlover7690]

My native Welsh Mountain pony was cheeky in a funny way. Just his character though. He did not hurt anyone at all. He had to be trained out of some habits at the start when I first got him but he knew I was his leader for sure.

[@TheSilverlady1980]

When a skilled person says “no pushing, no crowding, back up, this is my space” that gains respect! This man knows how horses think!! Kids will push push push limits and unless parents sat “no back to your room” the kids are now your boss. Similar mentality.

[@louisegogel7973]

With children, I found it very effective to say, go to a quiet space until you feel calm and ready enough to work this situation out together with me. And I will tell them if I need the time and space to get clam enough too. As with horses, the children need to know that something they do makes a difference, that they have some control over their safety and sanity.

What an absolutely gorgeous Cob gelding … I never would have guessed him for a Cob, had you not said something. And what a lovely demeanour he has now! One could see real change in him within moments … as soon as he realized Steve wasn’t going to put up with his antics … he got right in line and down to business. I didn’t expect him to be as compliant as he was on the right. Your firming up is really nothing at all compared to what some equestrian trainers do, in the name of ‘firmness’. You’re so kind to horses/animal and people … your communication is spot on and precise. I think that’s one of the biggest problems is a horse who isn’t taught boundaries growing up because someone doesn’t take time to establish the rules/boundaries early on … you move their feet and not the other way around. He is certainly a quick study and I think most of the owner’s/rider’s problems are probably behind her now. Love your sense of humour when you pretend to take all the credit, knowing full well it’s a transference to the horse … and when you pretend you don’t hear to get them to repeat the word/phrase (i.e., it’s amazing … you have such a sense of humour). So glad you’re enjoying your work vacation in the U.S. … Dave/Linda have shown both their hospitality and gratefulness for all you have done for them and others … especially how you’ve enhanced their equestrian life. Be really nice if you could regularly go abroad somewhere, meet new people and help horses/owners/handlers and riders all over the world. Gives you guys a bit of a break, which I’m sure is much needed more so now at your ages, than ever before. All the hard work has paid off! Looking forward to when you return and many more VLOGs. Happy Trails! 🙏🙌✝️❤️

[@lumini3172]

This is exactly what being a leader should look like. I get so fed up and disturbed by hearing people justify whipping their horses silly, saying, “Oh, well they would get kicked and bitten in the wild so this is fine!” Yeah, and a wild horse would also not get any treatment for a severe injury and thus would most likely succumb to it, so I guess we shouldn’t give our horses medical treatment either? Being a leader does not equal beating a horse up. You can get a much better lesson across when you’re firm as well as gentle and understanding as seen in the video, rather than harsh and overbearing. Sheesh.

I have an "into pressure" horse and whilst nowhere near as challenging as this one has needed calm but very direct and immediate action. Got a few nasty looks when I took him to competitions and he was overwhelmed and running into and through me as I had to be very quick and firm but he would immediately settle as realised someone was in charge and he could relax.

What I noticed most is you are having to correct the owners just as much as the horses. I arrived in Montana to late in life to properly learn to ride. Your method of correcting their behavior is just the bomb. It all boils down to direction/correction. Just like learning to fly, you make three perfect landings you stop right there to absorb what you learn. This allows an imprinting on the brain. Those little breaks are just as important as the training. I will continue to watch your programs and very well could end up in a saddle by summers end. Thanks, Doug in Montana

Thank you Steve Young, watching you work with horses is a pleasure to learn from. Being firm with a horse is part of our human communication with them; as with a dance partner one leader makes for a better led dance. Being firm is as much a mental process as a physical behavior. Smart horses know or can discover the difference.

[@ScribblemouseScribbles]

I made notes (again)! I don't know anything of horses, so I hope I understood things right (please correct me if I'm wrong!) A into presure horse is dangerous because they go into the pressure, any pressure, creating dangerous situations. Firmness: Is NOT pain or anger! Make your presence clear and keep your space in horse language. The bump on the horse is firm but should not hurt (It's what horses do too). Look at feet! Go quiet immediatly at yield. (nifty trick: use wall so horse can't go through you). The horse will calm down and be relieved when there is someone reliable and trustworthy to lead them. On unrequested forward motion: Your space is everything. When connected with the horse (attention on you) horse can only move forward when asked to. Remind when horse steps forward unrequested. You move the horses feet, the horse does not move yours. Move feet, not horse! The horse understands it's not in trouble but that the feet need to move. When quite calm: Get their attention on you when the horse's mind/attention wanders, get the attention back to you as a leader, rather than have him worried about something else. Balance attention of horse with left side and right side. A lot of horses are used to seeing people on their left side, so horses don't like stuff going on to the right side. So practice right side too. Do the above with a big smile. With kindness Avoid handfeeding. Some horses (like this one) don't understand that a leader would yield and surrender food. Clearly not a leader then! (if really needed: make them yield/back off for it. Don't let them come into your space for it, you come to them) Always always end on a win/uplifing note. (this counts for humans too! When learning something new and difficult, like drawing/painting or a new langauge, always set yourself up to win and end with a success, so you are eager to continue the next day.) Some of the notes I have written down before but that's okay. That means it is probably important. Never ridden a horse or had a horse. But I am keeping a notebook of all the stuff I learn. I don't think I have the demeanor to ever do stuff like this (too giddy and excitable) but I hope am good enough riding a horse in riding class soon.

[@WindsofChange]

Well, in the wild he would be the herd stallion that goes into pressure and protects the mares who are moving away. In geese, the females will run but the males almost foolhardingly so move into the danger...it's instinct. They are genetically built that way to protect the females. Maybe some horses, the ones that are meant to be leaders do it too (I've only worked with a few stallions and never owned one). And you're not being abusive, you're being firm when you have to say no......some animals call for that and won't listen any other way....I'm fine with firm when needed and deserved and this horse definitely meets that criteria.

I had just watched Chevy and Mr Darcy 'playing' together in the small pen you have, and you asked us to observe and guess who was the 'lead' horse of the two. Then directly watched the above. Just for a moment, it was like watching your two horses, Mr Darcy and Chevy, except you were being the 'lead' horse. Something then just clicked in me. That is exactly what you are doing. Little difference actually, (though for instance, you aren't biting him or kicking him! 😆), as you are showing him you are the 'lead horse'. Brilliant! And something he can fully understand because it's 'horse' language. Marvellous stuff and has really clicked my understanding. 👍😊

I enjoy your videos and the fact that you protect yourself and teach the owners how to protect themselves is your job and it is done with grace on your part.

Well done Steve, what a beautiful horse Deo is. Loved the photo's at the end, they looked so happy riding together.

29:20 he self corrects and without any prompt pulls his right foot back to stand both feet in a straight line. Except maybe you just look at the foot and he understands now wgat you wanted ❤

Her smile is everything.

What a brilliant session! Love seeing the incredible turnaround in the demeanor of this horse. WOW, if I had known about this stuff years ago, what a difference it would have made with a couple of horses I knew back then. 💚💚💚

[@tahoejo6540]

Oh Steve! I've watched Many horseman on my 60+ years journey working with horses I've gotten quite a LOT watching you work Something just resonates.. Now I know why, "True Horsemanship Thru Feel" was my first encounter with Natural Horsemanship, when the book came out. It resonated deeply with my own approach to horses You are the First trainer I have seen reference it. I think it's time to read it again, I believe I will have a deeper understanding having watched your work Thank You! 🐎❤️🐎

[@jeannetteparry5587]

Another brilliant video! I love seeing how the horses respond. My favourite this time was when Steve showed the horse about walking forward and the penny dropped! Like the horse was thinking, "Why is he pulling me like that? I'm not supposed to go forward...Oh, you mean like THIS! Got it!!!"

[@cytobl98]
