Your patreon is amazing i love the different lessons (videos) when you need help with one area you can go to that video, watch and learn. It's totally worth having it! Thank you for making this for people, most lessons are so expensive, I'm in New Zealand, and would love lessons from you, but just a bit far away, this way I get them! Thank you 😊

[@dsantos21100]

lol I already am. You've already answered my 2 questions. Can't get enough of your videos. Love your style, attitude, and delivery.

[@juleyberglund4129]

I love that Ryan is as respectful and instructive with people as he is with horses. This is a rare quality in a horse trainer. He is humble and pays attention and genuinely cares about the people and helping them. He earned another subscriber here!

[@nelltaylor8171]

This is one of my most favourite videos you’ve ever made! I have huge admiration for the owner, it’s never wrong to admit you’re afraid and ask for help. I have been riding for a very long time and had a terrible accident on a friend’s new horse (bolting and thrown into a solid fence which left me very badly injured), I ended up having to sell my beloved horse I had at the time (I still cry over it), as I was too frightened to ride her, even though she never did a thing. I’ve now got a lovely mare who is more whoa than go but I still get frightened at times trying to calm my mind and not think every horse will bolt with me, I even enlisted the help of my lovely husband and he put me on the lead rein and lead me for miles, so that I could just work on keeping myself calm in the saddle, whilst he took care of where she was going. Helped me massively. Anyone suffering with fear, break things down and do things in baby steps, confidence is exceptionally fragile. So pleased the owner was able to get back in the saddle and feel more confident. ❤🇩🇰

[@lifeinthesaddle7002]

It's so sad when people have to sell their horses. Hope you get better and that your horse knows they did nothing wrong😟

[@nelltaylor8171]

Thank you, she was lovely and I worked so hard with her, my trainer helped to re home her and she now has the most amazing home, with a really wonderful owner who worships her. ❤

[@Mainecoon_Izzy]

Many thanks for sharing your story. Just last weekend we went on a trail ride. Our friend & trainer, decided that I should ride her very safe gelding because my mare was acting unsafe. She rode her very well, & she was right💯 my mare was being “a handful” I’ll ride her eventually, but as you advise, baby-steps 💯♥️ I also have an underlying fear from HORSES bolting with me when I was a child out of control. I learned to “abandon ship“ very early in life. I learned to jump off the horse safely before it dumped me into a fence.

[@Rachel-ge3gl]

Thank you for sharing your story. I haven't ridden my saint of a gelding in 7 months due to anxiety after a fall on a different horse. I'm trying to work through it and am at a point that I need someone to help me get on and walk alongside me.

[@nelltaylor8171]

Definitely get a foot soldier to help, makes a massive difference. 👍

[@AndyTheCornbread]

That horse is absolutely stunning in both looks and movement. It was super sweet how you helped the owner through her fear. This is my favorite video of yours so far.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Cool!

[@Cwgrlup]

This was a great video! I love the talk about fear and how positive self talk is so important. This horse is a gorgeous mover and I’m so happy for this lady and her progress!!!

[@summermorton9246]

Ryan, As a trainer it is refreshing to see someone else try to explain and teach body language and self confidence. It is incredibly hard in my mind to teach folks to observe a horse's body language.. Thank you for doing these videos, you deal with humans much better than me, lol.

[@robinward3003]

Man, you worked her through her fears beautifully. I have to give her a few pats on the back for picking herself up, and climbing into the saddle under a very powerful, talented horse, that needs a talented rider to partner up with. They look beautiful together, that horse is going to make her famous, with the way you connected them up. My last gelding was a big, tall bay with fire in his eyes. We were buddies. Anyway, love watching you work, and appreciate the value you bring to these misunderstood horses. Great job. Thanks.

[@topcatwarrior]

He’s a really lovely horse, and I’m so glad you were able to help his owner. Your point about groundwork not just being for the horse but also strengthening the bond is a good reminder. I hope these two have many wonderful moments to help replace her quite understandable fear after her traumatic injuries. She seems to be a really nice person who deserves to be confident and comfortable in the saddle again. Well done!

[@vkmccable]

Excellent. Thank You. 68 years young and purchased my first horse a year ago. Nice to reaffirm what I’m doing is correct. Love my old boy Boomer.

[@Mainecoon_Izzy]

Bless you & Boomer ♥️💯👍

[@marsery]

oh this gives me hope and some confidence..I used to ride from a very young age as I love them so much and then like many people had to stop for studies and work and then a terrible car accident..but horses are "joy" for me and I want to buy a sweet one as the lessons in the stables ..I know I should be going to take lessons but making appointment , super restrictive etc... i really would like that connection with my horse ..and I felt perhaps "I am too old, too stiff etc.." not reasonable etc..

[@wizzyletsgetbusy6878]

So wonderful you and Boomer are together. I'm 70 and spending all my time watching these beautiful animals in your amazing country. I've had 2 horses of my own and was a polo/hunter groom in my teens.

[@MorganJServices]

This was the most compassion filled video of your work I have seen joining your Patreon. Masha needed an intuitive, kind, patient mentor. The horse needed someone to teach his owner how to relax and enjoy the ride again so he can too. Looks like you have met your new year goal. You look slimmer!

[@DARKhorses73]

Amazing videos. He's definitely the best. No sale gimmicks or "methods" Ryan is my go to when I have issues or can't find an answer.

[@rhettbickley9097]

Beautiful! Somewhere I commented you gave her her horse.

[@finngamesknudson1457]

I love how as a trainer, you focus on rider at least as much as on the horse. So critical to recognize riders state of mind and emotion. Some of us need a bit more than just learning techniques and tricks - though the more you learn the easier it is to practice successes which provide the confidence central to riding. Worked with a trainers who seemed to believe in forging ahead regardless. Whip the horse and put unconfident green rider on horse with their ears pinned. Twenty minutes on horse with ears alternating between back and pinned made me less confident in my ability to work with this horse. Now to find a trainer I like, with philosophy I like, willing to go as slow as I need and whom I can trust.

[@mrs.maztech2968]

My horse recently started refusing to walk back to her paddock so this is very helpful. Thank you.

[@marycanary3871]

that is a very nice horse. this is why it’s so important to work with a great trainer. she bought a lovely, well bred horse and she lost him a bit due to fear and lack of education.

[@chrisp7548]

It was wonderful seeing the change in the horse, but even better seeing the change in his owner. You helped her get her horse life back!! Great video!!

[@heidiharris7775]

I’ve watched a lot of your videos and am a patreon member and am amazed at how informative each and everyone continue to be. The work that you do with both horse and rider is amazing and everyone that gets the opportunity to work and learn from you should consider it a privilege. I look forward to more videos and continued learning.

C L A S S I C problem I face myself. You are the 1st who addresses the fear issue. Very easy to follow, clear strategies you give us. This horse was grate, too, in his stubborness. You are a blessing.

[@rachelmerz2122]

This was great, Ryan, thank you! I just got my first horse at the beginning of February, and I have so much to still learn! I lucked out with adopting the sweetest mare, and even though she came from a neglect situation, she has had some good training along the way, and now I need to learn how to continue that plus teach her to respect me. I want it to be positive for both of us, and your videos are perfect! Thank you so much!!

[@joanlovelace7338]

I enjoyed this video. I felt sorry for this woman that lost confidence in herself. It must be so rewarding to give confidence back and she can really enjoy her horse. She did a very good job and it was nice to see her riding her very pretty bay. Good video I really enjoyed it.👍👍

[@TF1-10E]

love this and so true. when it all feels like its falling apart, just go back to the basics it's not a fail, it's becoming a professional for you and your horse. sometimes the horse also needs to regain confidence in the rider.

[@salt7625]

I have to say, you are so good! Normally, the successful trainers wouldn’t take the time with this “small stuff.” Not small stuff to the woman though. Thank you for providing great psychology. It truly is “ the little things.”

[@jennajenna1238]

LOVE this advise... this is simple, this is fun, I can do this. It is already making a huge difference for me and my horse. My horse is a dangerous bolter on the trail, but a quiet kid safe horse in the arena and on the ground. He is a bit of a complicated guy with what I believe is a sad history. We have had a couple terrifying moments together on the trail but I have been lucky enough to stay on and not get hurt. I am exclusively riding him in enclosed areas now and I needed to learn to trust the horse he is on the ground and in the arena and put the trail bolting fear behind us.

[@Mainecoon_Izzy]

Bolting is terrifying💯 This happened to me on a trail ride when I was about 12 years old riding my friends’ thoroughbred who is usually calm and gentle, but on our way home, he decided to bolt with me on his back ! Luckily, one of our other friends, who was on the same trail ride with us, got right next to my horse (on her horse) and pulled his reins back & was able to stop him. She literally saved my life. He was headed straight for the road, a main road & a very busy road. I am now 56 and we have 2 horses and we trail ride a lot…but I still have this fear inside me, even though my mare is completely safe. Well, I don’t believe anyone has ever completely safe but you know what I mean, lol

[@jennajenna1238]

@@Mainecoon_Izzy Oh I agree bolting is terrifying. My horse bolts due to being barn sour, so although you can't stop him or slow him down, you can at least steer him. I rode him back to the barn both times and steered him toward the back of my parked car where he really had nowhere else to go and he slowed then stopped on his own. He is a Tennessee Walker and I bought him sight unseen and he came to me with every bit vice possible. I ride him in a rope halter now and he is a completely different horse. He is safe on the ground and in an enclosed area but I don't ride him on trails anymore.

Ive got a mare that gets really stubborn and pulls the reins really bad. I decided to step back and do some groundwork one day, and she charged at me in the roundpen. That made me so nervous and i KNOW that she senses that every time we step into that roundpen now. Im trying so hard to get back to working with her and just not moving on to a "next step" until im no longer nervous

[@donnac.1609]

Very nice, handsome and smart horse. I'm so glad the owner did not give up! Hard to reach out sometimes. Good job Ryan! Being understanding of fear and how mishaps with horses can really set a rider off course; being able to ease that person right back on course with their horseis a special talent!

[@jaketaylor2775]

I feel for her. I lost a lot of confidence after a bad wreck, and then when I started riding again it was with a much bigger horse, and it's tough to get that confidence back. Some of the methods shown here look like things I want to try with my horse, especially the sidepassing.

Best video ever. Can I just say from experience its easy to chest breath when anxious so diaphragmatic breathing is essential, my breathing became so bad I had to have a musculoskeletal specialist reset my diaphragm and teach me how to breathe properly after an injury ( not horse related)

[@kathleenpenny9388]

Daaaaannng he's a beautiful horse! I bet he cost a lot! Great job helping them I love your video

[@tacetlupus2510]

Thank you for this, Ryan, and thank you to the owner! I had a riding accident of my own (my fault) and I was told I had actually died for a a few seconds or a minute (I got the story in pieces so it's hard to verify) and years later it's definitely still affecting me. I've come a long way from where I used to be but doing even some simple things I'll catch myself starting to shake with an increased heartrate. I stop when I'm doing what I notice that and just spend some time standing and decompressing with the horse until we've both settled. I knew about the breathing exercise already (but this is a good reminder to practice it) but those positive thoughts of "This is simple. This is fun. I can do it." is new along with looking around and noticing things. I'm going to write it on a piece of paper and put it in my pocket to carry around with me. Happy Trails!

[@freakwithabeak1]

Great video... a weird thing that gave me a confidence boost was learning how professional bull and bronc riders cross- train for their sport, and implementing that in a fitness routine, in addition to riding . For instance , JB mooney stands on a medicine ball. The more balanced and responsive you can make your body, the less it matters what happens

[@tracyjohnson5023]

Thanks to scientific measurements they show the students of the seminars how the results worked out, because empathy and gratitude activate the hormones of pleasure in the body.

Hopefully this took into account that sometimes horses balk because they are anticipating discomfort or even pain. I have gone through this with my older horse-once was poor saddle fit and this winter, arthritic joints. Addressing those issues solved the problem. I notice Masha rides with some kind of head setter-those can be uncomfortable. Perhaps it wasn’t work the horse wanted to avoid but discomfort. I hope Masha has success in her relationship with her horse. He seems like a beauty.

I've had horses for over 50 years and I won't have a stallion. I can ride them and handle them on the ground minimally. It takes a different type of person to handle a stallion correctly and fairly.

Those ppl were tryin to get me hurt & or killed. & I took care of 34 horses by myself n I think it's so wrong to not have at least one other person with you at all times. I'm 5ft tall n less then 100lbs 😅 n even having another person there for me isn't enough. I had this big guy help with the food aggressive males & he was whipping them hard cause they wouldnt get out of our way & them horses didn't even flinch. Their muscles didn't even twitch. N this is a big guy whipping them as hard as he can. Didn't care one bit just wanted the food in my hands. I was forced to feed them with the new kid one time and the one horse was chasing me n almost jumping me the way a dog jumps up on you for food. I turned around n got stepped on n dropped the food on the ground before he hurt me. When I saw that the whip didnt affect them that was a complete deal breaker for me n I kept makin other ppl do it.
