Problem Horse! Rollercoaster full of emotions ,elations and breakdowns

[@kateking3953]

Buck Brannaman makes a comparison between an abused horse and an abused child. The same would apply to an abused dog - or any animal that has regular contact with people. And the same would apply to an overly indulged horse, dog, child. And working with neuropsychology, I can testify that the methods Steve uses to help a balky or planted horse overcome apprehension - I love the video of the fell pony walking across rustling feed sacks between poles - also applies to phobias and panic attacks in people. I'm not saying horses are like people - far from it, I've been around them and ridden a lot of my life. But I love the principles that Buck Brannaman, Ray Hunt, Steve teach, because they're so universal. If only all of our lives could be lived with firmness, understanding, kindness, compassion, consistency - what a world we could have!! xx

ps Bit of a mover there Steve!!🤩

[@ealexeenko]

Very well said ❤

[@juliepeat4402]

Don’t be shy about the Dancing ! Tanya I hope you stroked Steve’s nose and told him quote “ How good he is “ ! 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻👏👏👏👏👏

[@kenyahenderson1383]

What a giggle at the end. Brave Steve. Your love of horses and life is wonderful.

[@Amelie....]

What an adorable man, heart and soul.

[@jessicasnaplesfl7474]

I loved your tip about buying or taking over a horse from an excellent trainer - it was SUPER-APPROPRIATE for this case. I had wondered about Liv's ability to take over and establish herself as the LEADER to this horse. I was almost as "anxious" as LIV when it was time for her to take over at the end as I sensed her fear of being unable to master her horse. Old habits are as hard to break for the owners as they are for their animals. Your explanation of the expert horseman transfer to the novice was perfect. A horse will feel CHEATED when a novice rider is unable to provide the same protection the horse needed and was trained to EXPECT from its owner/rider. This is HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY as well as horsemanship. Consider instructor/student relationships. Whether a child in school or an adult, paying for instruction for a hobby, once an excellent instructor has taught the pupil, the next one must also be excellent or the pupil rightfully feels shortchanged and resentful. You might say, once excellence is experienced, anything lesser is not tolerated!

[@grammeatticus2172]

Very well said.

[@pippakay7234]

The pleasure on Liv's face when he went in the box was so wonderful to see. I'm sure between you both you'll get this sorted. Wonderful job Steve as usual.

[@phacialoveskakashi2119]

I don't find you using the phrase "they don't suffer fools willingly" to be harsh or unkind, because you explain it very well and clearly. Well done everyone on this one for certain.

[@sue5242]

What’s so remarkable about a lot of these videos is you absolutely see the difference in the horses demeanor.

[@georginablundell8886]

I can’t thank you enough Steve, every time I watch one of your videos, I learn more about positioning myself, to correct the horse’s movements. The look of relaxation in two of my ponies,after using your techniques, has been so rewarding.Keep on sharing the good work!

[@happydays7143]

Oh the moves at the end were just brilliant ,🤣 . Move those feet Steve 👍 Xx

[@rosemarieblack7063]

Cheers Steve and family, I find your videos a great way to unwind. Your calming influence on horse and and the gentle way you train the owner is soothing. I long for the day I can have my own horse again and will definitely bear your tips in mind. Flourish and prosper.

[@lisacarriou6771]

Hello from Canada. I truly enjoy your videos. I have a young horse who needs a leader. The lessons on leadership have greatly improved my relationship with my 6 year old horse. Nipping and getting in my space were an issue but now is much better. You are clear and simple with your direction. Your training style is accessible. Thanks😊

[@rofiahcrawford3250]

Oof, he needs a lot of effective groundwork, leadership. I hope she takes on the learning. Beautiful boy. As always, very impressed with owners who get help! Well done Liv. You're very effective Steve. Also love the happy dance!

[@lizgarland2241]

Fab vlog. Super emotional for Liv. Another lucky pony to have you get them back on the straight and narrow. Tough love. ☘️🇮🇪💚

[@tarjatuhkanen7094]

Thank you for ultimately saving these horses, cos in the end they would end up back in the wrong hands and/or killed. Thank you for showing them a new way to to live with humans.

[@fion1flatout]

That is so true and I wish that message got out more often

[@EricaMontenero]

I love watching your hard work. You are changing Liv and helping her grow as a handler. Amazing job! Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your career and passion.

[@caralynhale3757]

Thank-you STEVE and CHARLOTTE, this was riveting. ( Reminded me of the emotions I went through with my last dog - much loved but difficult collie )

[@taralee7076]

Fantastic job Steve and you explain perfectly why and how you need to firm up. You helped that horse so much in that one session. And yes it is the seed that has been planted.

[@gaynor7947]

Amazing job, Steve 👏 Brilliant for Liv ❤ Loved your dance 🕺 You're a great guy, Steve xx

[@catherinegipson4204]

We’ve had quite a few horses in our life’s. We had a 14-16 yr old stud and he was the best, you could put a 1 yr old on it and not worry about anything. He had won a few local and small horse show! He was a dream horse

[@mariagillinson8527]

Liv ! You rocked that amazing!

[@clarekelso7841]

I love that you think you were harsh (justified). You are wonderfully kind to the horses and people you work with. You got him right with assertion not agression. Perfect! I wish I had half your knowledge and skills and I have worked and ridden horses for 50 years. The dancing was the cream on top.

[@jenniferlehman326]

Way to go Steve!! I love it!! 💖 💖 Horses are so healing, and people need to remember that as well. Liv is truly appreciative I'm sure. We're all always learning whenever we work or are around horses. If you're not learning, you say you know it all. I've been working with horses for just over 50 years now, and I'm still learning!! I'd love another lifetime, retaining the knowledge I have now, to learn even more. My karate teacher once said, "You are always learning. If you aren't you're as good as living back in the caves." And that is so true. Love from Jenn, a trainer and former FEI Coach and Paramedic in Ontario, Canada. 💖 🇨🇦

[@chericonnolly4810]

That was a treat for all uf us to watch! As always an amazing job!! Liv was full of gratefulness for sure! He's a beauty and now he is on his way to a much calmer life style! Appreciate all your hard work and your expertise! It's pure enjoyment to be able to see you work with these difficult horses! Thanks so much! From the state of Washinton😊🐎

[@lightseeker2242]

Been watching your videos for a while now and one of the nicest things I notice is the change in the horses when you first start working with them. It's almost as if they are so very relieved to have someone in front of them who they understand. Their expressions show it, even if their behaviors don't. This fella really seemed to like being in the trailer. So, I wonder how many have gotten rid of the black paint on their ramps?

[@Jude_196]

STEVE!! YA GOT "THE MOVES LIKE JAGGER"!!! ❤❤❤Thanks for the great videos...AND, bustin' a MOVE!! HUGS to You & Tanya!! ❤❤❤

[@HuntClubBarbie]

Cheers. Steve. You're the best teacher and a considerate caretaker of humans and horses!

[@kellygalvin7775]

Bloody love these vids, Steve you’re awesome, I can see how frustrating he would be 😂 he knows who moves his feet now , beautiful pony 😍

[@sm0ky_cowboy693]

Excellent Horsemanship, enjoying watching your work. Learned through out my years of horses, lots of this technics. All with base on the real horseman, treating any wonderful and beatiful horse with respect and dignity, and the old cowboys 🤠👉

[@ayeshashaikh1543]

My daughter has the horse in our family and I am always sharing your videos with her and telling her how smart and kind and compassionate you are. I really love the "UK" term for getting tough with a horse. Firming up sounds so much less aggressive. Thank you so much for the knowledge you share!

[@suecotton4828]

Loved this video. I love seeing how the horses change their attitude when they have clear leadership. It’s a good point you make about great horses going on to new homes where the owner is less experienced and reverting back to being difficult. I saw a video years ago before I’d really heard about natural horsemanship about a very well trained horse going to a new home. The horse became aggressive in the field and charged its owner and tried to bite them even outside the gate. They wondered why the horse had changed so much. I can understand now why that could have happened. Loved the dad dancing at the end - so funny. 👏👏👏👏

[@ymanajohnson585]

Love your happy dance...so cute. I would sure like to see how that horse works in the future with more help from you. Yes, I will share this one. I so like how you handle any and all troubled and difficult horses.

[@spfisterer3651]

Great job, Steve. Loved the dancing. he looks so much like my Connemara it's spooky. I bet they share a couple of ancestors 😊

[@pamabernathy8728]

Beautiful, amazing story. You are amazing, Steve. And Liv is a brave & determined young woman. Blessings from the US.

[@Lizzieb315]

That was so wonderful to see how relieved Liv was at the end. Great work!

[@rocket262626]

Good Job! What a difference you made with that horse. Thank-You!

[@blueeyessiamese]

Your magic relaxes me. Love your natural kindness & humor that wraps around it all. I’m applying adjusted principles to my sassy Siamese&me here in USA🤓haha

[@nicolefournel-hartery8187]

OMG! What a beautiful horse and what a lucky owner to have him and i'm sure, from the video, that he is very lucky to have an owner that loves him so much. So much info to help horse owners and riders out there. I will never be able to go on another horse, so i live thru your videos. Thank you for making them, for being so honest and such a kind man you are with a wonderful wife. You must love it when Charlotte goes and spends time with you?

[@kathleenkayk]

Steve's comment about buying from an excellent horseman or trying your horse with that person can backfire confirmed my concerns. I will have someone else train my horse ONLY IF I am training with him. As a recreational rider, I am nowhere near Steve's level of expertise. So I would insist I learn with the trainer and my horse. Love this video. So happy for horse and owner now on the right path together.

[@kathleenrigg6218]

I agree with the person below. That's such a good piece of advice and one coincidentally the same thing my "mentor" and I were talking about on our trail ride today. Every one needs to be aware of the risks of buying a horse from someone much more experienced than they are. Thank you, as always for another wonderful video.

[@marthaagnew6022]

Another excellent learning experience for me!! Keep up the good work! So much gratitude for both and and Tanya!🤲✨💗 Ps. Your point was so important about a novice rider purchasing a horse from an experienced rider who had a horse that responded well to them due to their experience and connection and that that isn’t necessarily transferable. After all horses are sentient beings and it’s so much about our energy exchange. Not just about the mechanics.

[@hazelgalbraith2400]

THIS MAN MAKES ME CRY…………..The most awesome changes of scared or bold horses you will ever see. STEVE YOU ARE A HERO AND A GENTLEMAN. Soooo glad I found you now I and others who find it difficult have H O P E. 🎆for the horses they love. Thank you for sharing 🎠

[@elainebernarding8495]

I loved the happy dance! I panicked because I thought I had turned my audio off! I saw Liv and her young stallion and he was also a biter and kicker! Liv is fearless! I like Liv.

[@april5666]

Wow, I think that's the most aggressive/difficult horse I've seen you work with and that transformation was nothing short of miraculous. You, sir, are one of the true horsemen with a heart of gold. Thank you so much for sharing your work with horses and how much generosity you have for the people who love them.

[@annekern5892]

I love it when we can see you hand the lead to the owner. To see your teachings having actually sunk into not only the horse, but the human head also! I some times think it's the human that's harder to break of the bad habits. God bless you and your family Steve!

[@denisepacetti4559]

Bravo, Steve! You are just amazing and I so enjoy watching how you work and I do love to listen to your voice. The thing that you do that reminds me of how I trained many ponies in my younger years is the light touch. Just the smooth down small rub on the neck or the muzzle. I always found that to be so soothing for the pony and for me. Never knew about dropping the head or the side give for the halter, the flex. But I know now and, given the chance, I'd use that in my sessions. You are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. 🥰

[@lizohagan4738]

Brilliant video. Liv thrilled with what u did for her and the Connemara pony. Delighted with the results. You very kind to Liv. Well done. Liz

Amazing, impressing. So happy I watched this! It looks easy but god knows it´s difficult. Steve makes it look so easy! And that is good raw modelling. I got a feeling Liv will manage this with excellence in the long run. Funny (near) ending. Needed that laugh. The disengaging is in a way life changing.

[@skmarrama]

I commend Liv a lot by not wanting to give up on this beautiful horse. Many would’ve given up or even abused an animal after being bitten more than one. That she reached out to you shows her tremendous love for both the horse and working on a solution instead of giving up or giving in. I think the dance at the end was well deserved!

[@tebaeki]

Liv and her horse needs it, It's a beautifull film again. Thanks fot sharing.

[@dennisreeves632]

I love the "Route 66" shirt. Lots of cool history there. Great video, amazing how you can read those beautiful horses.

JOB WELL DONE‼️🐴 MADE HER VERY HAPPY AND THE HORSE‼️🐴 Vinny 🇺🇸

[@kidstuff44555]

My unpopular opinion is: there are some horses that are simply difficult. They haven't necessarily been abused or badly trained (although they may have been). Regardless, some horses are born with difficult, combative temperaments. I say this as someone who has dealt with many different horses, although not as many as Steve here, but I'm sure if you asked any horse trainer of experience they would agree there are those minority of horses who really, really test you, and some you just can't help, or who are just too dangerous to be worth helping. This guy is not one of the ones to give up on, but people have to realise there are some very difficult horses out there

[@sidilicious11]

I own a difficult horse. I have come a long ways with him. When he is a willing partner he astounds me with his intelligence, telepathy, and kindness.

[@crazydoglady5]

I agree as with dogs as well. I have seen dogs be great happy dogs then in one second, turn and bite. like their brain misfires. A neighbor was laying on her bed watching TV with her dog. while laying there she touched him upon her repositioning herself and then he turned and bit her face. She said he did that ALOT. no reason just turns and bites. he was healthy and everything. After the bed incident..she took him to vet to be put to sleep. she couldn't risk that again. the face was the last straw. she cried over it cause she loved that dog...but something in him was misfiring. with that said..all of our dogs are rescues so you never know what you will get. I am a firm/assertive dog owner so they dont get away with much with me. I have one that got into a fight with one of my other dogs..(didn't see that coming). After that i have watched her like a hawk, every move, every look, every trigger...and discovered she goes nuts when she is excited. Barking at someone or a squirrel running by..she goes out of her mind and snaps at everything around her. Her excitement can be dangerous. BUT since then....no fights cause she is rarely out of my site and i dont allow her to be around my other dog alone. They get along but its her excitement. She's been with me now 8 yrs and no other fights have occured. I was just missing all the signs I guess in the beginning but not anymore. I am not a trainer at all. I use to help a trainer and got some tips from him..but not on this issue. Andd like Steve says....even if she's great now..if someone else got her, she would most likely fall right back into that old pattern. I think if another person is going to take the horse or dog thats had past issues , needs to know how to handle that animal in the future. And NOT sell a horse to someone that doesnt have the leadership of being in control. That person would need to be trained as well. Makes me think...selling a car with no brakes. what does that say about the seller...?!

[@dogsenseforu301]

kidstuff4455 PLEASE watch the Buck Brannaman video because it shows some horses are untreatable....

[@amycarter1331]

Yes. I agree completely. Some are simply born with more of a leadership temperament and in the wrong hands become a nightmare.

[@crazydoglady5]

@@amycarter1331 very similar to dogs as well.

[@01chittock]

Yes confidence-lays a big part! I know what it’s like, to deal with horses that bite, and many horses bite because they are abused, or people who haven’t a clue about horses mindsets ! All this will have helped horse and owner!

Almost finished watching and though your"Level" of life had to come up higher than I've seen in any of your videos b4, he didn't kick you or bite you! Whew!

[@chrisp4962]

I am always amazed at the outcomes of these secessions. It's so wonderful when you finally see the horse relax as you have said, like they are saying, "thank you I've been waiting for that!" I just love your videos, I've learned so much! I'm not a horse person, but I'm very interested in the psyche of animals. I've alway said the most beautiful thing God made was the eye of a horse.
