When everything goes wrong on a visit!!

Some visits you never forget! Everything was challenging on this day! A Spanish Andalusian horse unwilling to even consider loading.. Storms one minute and sunshine the next and Soaking wet right through! Having so many breakdowns causing anxiety in the owner. Believing in getting a breakthrough from so many set backs that day was the key! Please note Steve was 3 hours working with this horse but the weather was so bad only a little was possible to be recorded.

What a challenge a true testing of wills! 🤣😂Steve is a true LEGEND!!!🤠🤠❤❤🫖☕☕

He was sure it was going to kill him. Amazing work !

[@forsythia33]

I think of how often I used to go ride at 7am no matter the weather. Our horses must think sometimes, "What an idiot! Why on earth are we going outside in a storm????"

"Steve Young saves the day again!" : ). ❤. "That's a wrap!"

[@artemisXsidecross]

Steve Young’s self-humility and patience are an appreciated asset when gaining co-operation with a horse on the edge of fright and take flight. It may be an asset that may come from the human’s persona and not an easily learned from others. Steve Young’s ability to help the horse handler is a skill of its own merit. Artificial intelligence and artificial general intelligence will hardly replace what we can do and learn with a horse. This may be one of best Steve Young videos I have seen.

What miserable weather. Good job as usual.

[@agelesskelly9752]

This is my mare. Twice I have had to move her to a new barn and it took close to two hours to load her both times. I now have my own vehicle and will be starting training, slowly, at her pace while I have nowhere I have to be. She gets very claustrophobic and pulls back, even on crossties, and has banged her head on the trailer. But, I have hope. A few days ago, she put both feet on the ramp and stayed to sniff the side panels. Thankfully I have the luxury of time to take baby steps. Patience and perseverance and a lifetime of knowledge you have - Horse Master Steve!

[@lauraburns8306]

@@agelesskelly9752 Problem is, if you dont persist until you get it done - as Steve always does - you'll be rewarding her 100's of times for NOT going in, and she'll resist even more!

I believe in England that's called "a lovely spring day!" Never mind, everyone got to doa little happy dance, I had no idea Steve had such moves! It was kind of funny to see the horse thinking, "No no!! I can't! I won't! Terrible place, I'm never going in...oh. OK. Whatever." Well done Steve.

So, I can’t believe Steve is working in the rain….AGAIN!! So I googled the question “How often does it rain i Wales in a year?” 270 Days!!!! 5 out of every 7 on average!!! Next time it rains here ( in New England, USA) I’m just going to count my blessings it’s not even close to what Wales is dealing with. Great job Steve and his faithful sidekick Tanya!!

[@experimentalelemental92]

With quality.

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

Luckily that horse was confident and sure about his footing. Even when he stepped off the side too deep with his back foot, he didn't panic about that part and just assessed and adjusted nicely. A lot of horses once in that fear mode would be much more spooked about a sudden case of unexpected footing problems stacked on top.

[@lesleywild8706]

[@KamiM1111]

God love Tanya for braving the weather to get the video. Great job with the trailer progress!!!! I wonder why when the horse started to back up Steve gave him cues and pulled on the lead to back him up????? But overall I learned more especially Steve’s unwavering patience. 🐴 ❤🐴❤️🐴❤️🐴❤️

[@MCCreativeCrafting]

So the horse would come to understand that backing away just results in more work. This is quite edited so I would imagine the backing up was becoming an avoidance rather than a necessary reflexive movement from overwhelm or fear. You'll see he allows the horses to move their feet when they are frightened, but when they think they've solved a problem by backing up he will calmly continue to back them up until they ask to stop thanks, that's rubbish after all...

[@KamiM1111]

@@MCCreativeCrafting Thank you 🙏🏻, that does makes sense. Making it more work so they understand that backing up does not solve the problem. Walking forward and ultimately walking on the trailer solves it. 👍🏻👊🏼 Steve is so amazing and quick ( that 3 second rule) I almost missed it. But I picked it up and was so curious why he would do it to a horse already backing. Your answer makes sense. Especially following Steve’s teachings, he teaches us humans what we need to do for what’s best for the horse. 🐴

[@JulieMelville]

Brilliant example of letting off the pressure to connect correct action wit6h the brain.

Lovely video anyways. It brings back memories I am still slightly embarassed over. Not my P. He goes in by himself in a very happy manner. But another horse.... I didn´t do too well.

[@Davidm1056]

After watching hours of your videos (over several years) there is one thing that seems to be true, most owners are worthless when it comes to training and controlling their horses. Much like dogs and dog owners, it is the owner who creates the overwhelming majority of the problems. It's shocking actually that these massive animals have no one in charge. All the more reason why you are such a valuable resource. Good job.

[@kh7794]

Omg, British trailers are soooooo small. I wouldn't want to get in there, although I am claustrophobic

[@patquinn2188]

I wouldn`t want to get locked in a trailer that small, never mind a horse that size.

[@Sosha666]

Scared, Scared, Scared, Scared, Pfffff not scared.

[@dark-shadow_]

What would you suggest for a horse that doesn't react to anything at all and still avoids the trailer at all cost? We've literally tried everything possible but the horse just stands still and doesn't react to anything. And IF he manage to set one foot on the ramp, he simply turns his butt and you CAN NOT move him an inch anymore. I think this horse truly mastered and succeeded avoiding the trailer😂

[@constancesmith8881]

Maybe it’s the view, but all I could think was “that’s a really small trailer and a really big horse!” As soon as the video came on. Is it as small as it looks? Or is it the angle? 😮

[@jeanettejohansson5181]

🥰❤️🥰

[@brotoubrotou3164]

Perfect result. What is the purpose of crouching down when exiting the trailer? Curious

So that the horse will wonder why you are examining the ground and exit slowly.

This is my trouble, my older horse and my rescue will get on but constantly reverse out will not settle inside the float. My 18month old and 2 year old love the float, they get in and just relax right away. Struggling to fix it. As soon as the rescue sees someone behind her to do the door up she reverses out. Struggling to get them to relax in there.

[@user-fh9qe9om6z]

Is that trailer big enough for that horse?

[@jowright1056]

Yeah. I used to have one of these and the horse has much more room than in half of the two-horse version. Used to be known as a mare and foal box. Angle makes it look narrow I think

[@missdixcee]

Just brilliant! Steve is so patient and never gets frustrated. He understands horses and communicates with them like no other horse trainer. You can feel the horse relax and trust Steve once he/she realises they speak the same language. I wish we could clone Steve and send him to Australia (and elsewhere) to help troubled horses and teach people these communication skills, preferably before problems arise. My hero! 🦸🤠💖

[@jolandameivogel9006]

The problem why horses don't want to go into a trailer; is that people don't know how to drive a horsetrailer!!! Pute a bucket fill it up with water and pute it on the floor of the trailer and start driving. If the bucket is still fill with water after a our of driving , than you know how to drive with a horse in the trailer. I hate it how most people drive with a horse in a trailer, the horse can not see if and when you make a turn or stop the car for a trafic light. Do everything as slow as possible, make a turn with 5 km or slower.

You have not understood the body language for horses. You block the way forward in the trailer facing the horse. Your position should be at the side, same direction. To reward a step in the good direction is great. To make a turn and begin again 👍. But don‘t block the way into the trailer.
