What a brilliant VLOG … for several reasons. To start with, it was nice to see the return to that farm, and how well they have gotten on with the wild pony boy. It must feel good to know owners build off of what you’ve successfully done. You can also see these owners are attentive to their horses … Malcolm listens well and follows instructions to a ‘T’, with ‘quality & grace’ (I so love that phrase)! As is expected, you’ve done a brilliant job with Raven … hopeful they’ll be able to build off of what you’ve been able to teach her in today’s VLOG. The real test will be after the wife heals and is able to handle Raven, as well. Although, it may not be doable (I wouldn’t blame her if she refused to) with the severity of her injury and perhaps their history, in both her’s and Raven’s minds. It will be quite a feat if she does though… it would be a testimonial to all your hard work you do, for both horses and owners. I love it when you show the sights as well … also the map at the beginning to show us where you’re headed. What a beautiful little town (village). I think your Grandkids would have loved that dinosaur … it looked so real. And yes … I think we (the viewers) also think you guys are amazing. 😂 I really enjoy your VLOGs … a highlight of the day (if not week/month). Looking forward to the next … will eventually join as a member but can’t do it just yet! Happy Trails! 🙏🙌🐴🐎🇨🇦

It makes my day each time another (🥰long) video gets posted!! Not enough words to thank you for what you're all trying to do to improve the relationships between the horse & human world & beyond! Very well done to keep explaining & showing the very CAUTIOUS & judicious use of treats in short "emergent" certain circumstances!! Steve has to block this horses nose SOOO many times as it's nose!!! In the near future, I trust he'd quickly balance in some consequential yields if it continues?? 😊You hit the nail on the head when you said "like you would treat a lady... With quality & grace." & I'd add like a child too for that matter. Understanding of the perspective of ones we're trying to teach all along the way & humanely working towards the good things... THAT is the GOLDEN difference between brutal people & ones like Steve. None of us are perfect, but BLESSED are the ones that will always strive to learn, improve & share in the journey to better things!

I bought a 17.3 hand tb that had a fungus in his ears. Had to touch to treat. Earned his trust by unbuckling the cheek piece, and gently, slowly placing the crown over his head without inflaming his ears. Just bring the bit around and in, then buckle cheek piece. At 17.3 hands, the only way to bridle or mount was by earning his cooperation. Showing that I would always listen to his “whispers” meant he never had to “ yell” at me. Teaching,” We speak softly to each other” is done before any tack goes on. Being firm, fair and soft as possible on the ground translates into imperceptible cues honored under saddle.

Another well done session! From Canada, what's almost more exciting than the horsey bits, is watching you drive on the wrong side of the (what you call a) road. Has Wales never conceived of "shoulders" for roads? The winding, narrowness, and my instinctive panic when on coming traffic comes round the bend; and to me, not only is the road not wide enough, but you're on the wrong side! I have physically brought up my knees and winced watching you drive. It would be like a rollercoaster ride for me to see it sped up! Please give a verbal warning if ever you choose to post that for fun! I'll need to be hanging on for it! LOL Please note: Nothing WRONG with your driving, it's just me and your geography. And thx alot, now I want pork roast and yorkshire pudding.

I was taught by the original horse whisperer the famous Tom Dorrance I will admit his teaching are different than what im learning here. To tell the truth your not a good trainer if you don't keep up with the times and continue to learn. I take what I've learned from everyone and apply it with every horse as every horse is different and needs a different set of standards. I do learn from you too. I haven't trained in quite a while because I've moved from my stables 10 years ago and dropped out of site. No one knows who i am now but I can really help if I wanted to get back into it. It would be hard though, to get a whole new clientele and pretty much start fresh. All the knowledge in my head is going to waste. Maybe a book but heck no one reads books anymore life is too rushed, I'd love to share my knowledge though for another generation to learn Tom's trainings

Here in the States, old time cowboys would tie up a back leg - or hobble both - in their efforts to break (and "break" is the unfortunate but accurate word) a young horse. In addition, they would grab an ear and BITE it, to leverage control. It makes me sick. But to say "animal cruelty" among these blowhards was to label a man as a sissy. After many, many years, we have learned much, much better. Now, if someone in this beauty's past tried those tactics to try to "break" her on your side of the pond, it would answer for all these sensitivities in her. You success is a heartwarming miracle. She is a very smart girl. Thank you for using gentle and wise methods to teach her that horses are to be loved, not abused!

I think this is a fabulous example of why treats CAN BE GOOD, used in the right way. We've no doubt Steve could achieve a good outcome but without the treat, how much more stress all three of them would have gone through, then the increased risk of harm. Obviously the guys can get kicked but if she kicked the wall, she could do some real damage to herself. A good horseman does whatever he can to make the answer easier for the horse to find.

When I got mine she was always done in a stock and thus wouldnt lift her feet or violently take it back. I could understand that, as she always got stuck everytime she did back then in the stock. I decide she would be done in hands. Reasoning is she wont be under the fear of being forced, and may appreciate me better. I used treats extensively. At one point with rear hooves I would give the treat first then ask for the feet and she`d lift it for the farrier. Eventually the treats would only come after I was done with a hoof. I also introduce a word to tell her im done with the hoof/leg so there is no doubt in her mind when she can lower it back down. This caused her to stop tryng to take it back and also made her gently lower it down when told. Clear and concise communication led to less stress and a better experience for all involved. Fast forward and I have a 2150lbs shire lead mare that can be told to lift leg into my palm on command. She can be trimmed just like any light horse. She can also be told to leave hoof on the ground even if I touch and squeeze it. That was very important to me as she has huge feathers and they are sometimes high maintenance. I've done everything with kindness. And treats can always be substituted for something else down the road so I dont count them as a vice. So my word of advise is; Use treats to facilate what you want to do. Once you can do everything you need to using the treat, you start planning to slack off on the treat and revert to giving relief.
