What’s eared down ?

Back in the day it was rather common practice to twist or even bite (yes, with your human teeth!) a horse's ear in order to immobilize them long enough for you to get on them. Think riding the range on a very green horse with lots of work to be done... Some people think it works the same as a lip twitch, (releasing endorphins to relax the horse) but it is the opposite, eliciting a fear/pain response that makes the horse freeze. A short term fix that leads to many long term problems. I still see alot of traders ear down horses quite often unfortunately 😔

Yes, I myself, don't understand any of the criticisms you receive. Anyone watching for any length of time can see how caring and understanding you are of your horses. I love watching your videos just the way you do them. I love to see what you are doing and how the horses are. So thank you for doing the camera work the way that you do. It adds so much more interest. Whatever, don't listen to us, viewers, just do what feels right for you. That's why we watch. you. You have confidence and knowledge and a big heart. Namaste'

I like that you narrate separately and do not talk while facing the camera. I enjoy seeing all the action and it focuses more on the horses--not a selfie-satisfying promotion for yourself like some other rescues. While you tell their stories, I see what you see, and project the character, dignity, fear/courage and mischief as these wonderful creature's progress and evolve.

My perspective...I watched another new- to- me horse vlogger, and she had the camera on herself almost the whole time 'til I was yelling at the screen to show me the horses! I love your videos because they focus on the horses, you show us what specifically you're talking about with each horse, you share your observations about their personalities , then we can observe it ourselves, and if you are talking about accommodations, equipment, feed, etc., you show us, which I really appreciate. I had horses for most of my younger years, but I find myself way out of date with costs, new techniques, etc., and I'd like to catch up, even if I can't have a horse right now. I would love it if you would talk about the costs of feed, vet visits, farriers, etc. and bring me up to date. When you scratch the horses, I can feel the dust, smell the beautiful smell that I miss terribly. I miss jeans caked with that dirt and horse sweat mixture that made them stiff after a good days ride! I think you're doing great!

I love your filming style AND I'm here for the horses and your narration, so I hope you don't change the way you film. And re treats, they are not pressing into your space or mugging you in any way. Treats can be very misused with inexperienced horse-people and thereby can cause aggression problems. Clearly as a very experienced horsewoman you know when and how to treat so that it is useful without causing disrespect. Poor Pete, after so many years of kind and consistent treatment he is clearly remained very wary of potential unpredictable and potentially cruel humans. Thank you for all you do and share, CC :)

I actually prefer that you do voiceovers rather than talk to camera. It means your focus is 100% with the horses and considering how traumatised your horses are from people who mishandled them before you, that's a very good thing. They need your focus more than a video which you can voiceover later at home. Also, I think that when you do voiceovers, it's easier to explain things clearly for us, because there is nothing else to distract you. And you can point things out, like when your horse is tense and when is calming down and how to recognise that, which I think cannot be done well without voiceover.

I've been studying YT channels and growth patterns for years. When you get closer to 75K subscribers your channel will start to grow even faster. After 100K, your channel will explode. The key is to post on a strict schedule. When you can, consider making shorter videos. For example, you might split this 39 min video into two different videos. That way you could maybe get a cache of videos ready to go for those times when you are too busy to make a new video. Publishing a shorter video every other day will REALLY generate extra traffic and the YT algorithm will favor that. I know that is extremely hard to do though. You also might want to consider showing YOU once in a while in some videos. Even short bits where you sit still and just talk. People really love that. LOVE YOU & YOUR CHANNEL. You deserve lots of continuing success.

@@TheCleverCowgirl The 2 most important things are the number of likes a video gets, and the amount of comments, so people usually say something to encourage people to "interact". They say things like "Tell me whether you prefer warm days to cool ones for riding." or "Let me know in the comments whether you ride English or Western the most." Any kind of question that seems at all relevent will work. "Tell me what problems you have encountered with nervous horses." But asking people to like the video is only accomplished in a straightforward way, as far as I have seen, by just saying that it would help you, so please give it a thumbs up. Nobody will think any less of you if you do choose to ask, but whatever you feel comfortable with is fine, of course. You already have the knack of making effective thumbnails. I forget exactly what brought me to your channel. Maybe it's just proximity, because I'm in Alberta. But I do love your way of being with the horses, and your way of thinking. I was sure pulling for you during that very cold snap, and I so much hope your arm and back are feeling better. I kind of thought your husband could be more helpful during that time, but I don't know the story there, and it's none of my business. Maybe he already had other things that took his time. I was in awe of you and your dedication. I guess you must be at a much higher elevation there, for it to get so cold. Here in Edmonton we are at about 2500 ft above sea level, and it only went down to about -35°C which isn't too far off from -35°F, even though we are much farther north than you are. (-40 C is almost exactly equal to -40F) I understand where you are it went down to -50F. I guess it probably gets that cold once every year. I guess people have their reasons why they live where they do, too. Alberta is a horrible place to live in so many ways. I am planning get the heck out asap! Anyway, all the best to you and your beautiful horses. I would so much love to go and help you some day for a while. Well, cest la vie! Lots of luv! From Barb in Alberta. ❤🐴🐎🐴❤ Those things are what gets your videos shown to more people, including to repeat viewers. After the point where you are monetized, the number of subscribers does nothing for you. It does not encourage repeat views. Only likes will do that. The giving of the buttons is a hold-over from an earlier time when #of subs did matter more. From what I see of your commentors, you have a lot of really loyal people here. I wish I were an American. I would just love to help you with the work. Maybe park my RV at a nearby campground and over time work out what you want done. No cost of course. Just for the love of the horses. But I'm Canadian, and I have no way of getting a green card or a tourist visa. I don't even have the RV yet, but I will in a year or 2 at the most. Oh well! All the best to you anyway!

personally, I like the voice over instead of talking to the camera - so don't change :) FYI, you just explained my OTTB's personality with Big Gus, no nonsense and afraid to do something wrong (he was a rescue / raced for 8 yrs). So it is great to see that giving him time and helping him understand that he is not going to be hurt for making a mistake will pay off in the end, he has already come a long way. This year my goal is trail riding, after hand walking him on the trails first. We are partners and if he needs time he will get it from me. Blessings to you for your work in showing horses that love n respect makes good horses!

Using treats can be effective when given at the right time for the right reason. When I had a 4H Club and trained horse and rider/handler I always recommended against treats to avoid problems. Every horse had issues..... takes experience to recognize when treats are a good thing. Usually, horses raised with hand fed treats can be hard to teach about respect and space. They seem to learn bad habits quickly and will never forget downright pain and abuse. Just train your way and ignore the negative remarks.

The don't hand feed rule as I understand it is pertinent to people who haven't established leadership in the relationship. The horse pushes in on them and can even get mean. I notice you differentiate and use it therapeutically. Very clever. I also want to take a moment to appreciate your style. The voice over gives your audience real information about what they are seeing. It is very pleasant to view. And I bet it is even helpful to you to talk though as you are reviewing the footage. Gold Star Clever!

The first time I heard you had a horse named Whiplash , I had to smile. It brought back the memory of the first time a rode a horse. I arrived late to the gathering of friends, so all of the ones that would fit my situation were taken. No one wanted to ride Whiplash, they promised he wasn’t mean nor would he buck. He was a beautiful mustang, black and white, and I asked why his saddle was curled on the ends 😂. All went well until he saw the pond, we went swimming that day . I found out why he was named Whiplash, coming out of the pond he was in full speed. I held on but getting wet was not what I had planned for that day. All was well in the end and we became good friends. Just a little story I wanted to share with you. 😂

I love it that you don’t talk into the camera, there are SO many people who spend most of the video in front of the camera. One guy was talking about his horse, I was annoyed I wasn’t looking at the horse, just him. Geez. I’ve never clicked on his videos since. This sounds so sexist, but I’ve noticed there are so many men doing videos and some of them, I swear, are just looking for attention. Thanks CC for your very refreshing videos. You are so maternal. And I’m in love with Stewy. I’m always looking for him.

Please do make a video with Scarlett teaching to tie! I am raising a Chincoteague foal and have never taught tying from the start! Also as a dog trainer, who has horses as well, I can say you are definitely right on with noticing the changes from the two parts of the nervous system. And positive association with treats and positive reinforcement for a task are truly different. Very well done. Keep the videos coming!!

I really like the way you make videos. Don't get me wrong, but I like that you don't talk to the camera and instead talk while you're doing something to the horse. Firstly, it immediately becomes clearer to me what you are talking about. Besides the fact that English is not my native language, I also don’t have a horse. I don't even know how to ride a horse. I live in the city and riding lessons are too expensive for me. I just love them very much from a distance. And when people from other channels about saving horses talk on camera for a long time about problems they had to deal with, it doesn’t make any sense to me: i just see a person who is saying smth without showing an example... And your vid gives me the feeling that i'm on your place grooming a horse. It feels nice for a person who doesn't have a horse 😄

Treats or no treats: I think your use of treats makes perfect sense especially since many of your horses don't get positive vibes from a rub on the neck or on their face. Dog training has changed remarkably in 30 years since owners and trainers started using treats to help train for agility, obedience, and good citizenship. I think it is important to use what works. All your boys looked so good up at the fence waiting for their dinner. 👍

Thank you for explaining the licking and chewing. I have watched a lot of Steve Young videos and he will always point out when a horse relaxes because he will lick and chew. So I know that when a horse does that then he is relaxing some but I didn't realize it was because the horses mouth was so tense and when it relaxed the saliva would flow. That makes sense.

My grandfather said that licking and chewing is a good sign that the horse is in a relaxed state. It process of hooking up with a horse my grandfather and my dad used Monty Robert’s system. In working with your horse making your horse run on the end of your rope making your horse change directions. Once the horse starts making smaller circles and lowering their head and licking and chewing it is time to hook up with them

I love how you take the personality of each horse, the possibilities of their past into consideration, adjusting handling accordinglly. Something we could all learn, not just with horses but each other. Skeletor and his antics crack me up! The others when they do some of their antics are funny as well. They're learning manners, patience...as long as you and they don't get hurt and they learn to trust you more, it's all good.
