[@Straitfever]

What a great watch. I miss my horses. Watching your videos brings back great memories from younger times. Thanks.

[@fleetskipper1810]

Those bears can really move! And you’re so right about the value of a good kids’ horse. Worth their weight in gold.

Another great video, I loved watching Levi with his new horse. I’m sure they will have a great bond. Amazing to see bears on farming land. Beautiful area too. Thanks again for your videos.

[@williamgeorge3154]

Awesome video those bears look so cool walking in the grass but they still look kind of scary. Great video thanks 👍

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

Looks like a good ol horse for young Levi. Just the kind of horse a young fella needs. As always, another great show! Best wishes to you folks.

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Another pleasant Sunday afternoon with the 1880 Drifters even with a Htx of 104°F here. That old ranch horse is a kid's dream, even this 74yo kid.🙂 You might put a reserve on Crow or have somebody bid in with your money. You'd be making a contribution and riding your horse next week. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@denisebair9542]

Bears picnic! Beautiful country! Still loving your content! I hate to see Crow go, but I’m sure wherever he goes he’s going to be appreciated and doing what he loves. Those draft crosses are gentle giants! Can’t wait til next week for more videos,❤

[@pamelaremel7477]

Awesome video, as usual. That horse is built like a brick smoke house! BUT, some of the best kid horses a re the draft crosses. Puppy is so cute! Levi looks so grown up. Yep, I'd give that bear about a mile leeway! Thanks for another ride along.

A good kid’s horse is a treasure!! I was surprised that Stephanie wasn’t on Jake. They have a few bears on the In laws ranch. You all are truly blessed with the beautiful horses, gorgeous country, family & friends. to share it with. God Bless you all.

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi Mary, Jake was out in Colorado, so Stephanie had to ride one of Wayne's horses. At first she was not sure about that horse, but by the end of the day she loved her. ha ha So Jake is going to have to step it up!!!! Yes, the in-laws ranch is about over run with bears!! We are truly blessed. Thanks

Thanks for sharing your videos. One piece of advice about bears, don't poke the bear! Lol

[@shawnjack8092]

Amen to that!!!!

[@tycox2444]

Shawn I like your light blue and grey plaid shirt. Are you guys going to do another giveaway again soon? Is your Vet there in Blanding? Very pretty country there in South West Colorado. The Paint horse is a good looking horse.

[@shawnjack8092]

Ty, great to hear from you. Yes we need to do another give away for sure. I have got to get some hats ordered!!! Our Vet lives in Cortez Colorado. that is about 90 miles away. Have a great week

[@timothyboyd5548]

Another good one. Where do you get the chest carry phoe holder?

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi, thanks for watching. I made that phone holder. I do some leather work and so I put it together.

[@RandallChief]

So did buy the horses big horse ... that is a big horse I raised him, good to he finally retired

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi, No we did not buy him, Wayne won't sell him!!! ha ha But he gets to retire at our place and our kids get to learn from him. We are super happy Wayne let him come and stay.

[@deanaltman6841]

When you have a horse that has had an adult on it it’s whole life so is used to getting inputs/commands down low on its belly from an adults legs and feet, do you have to re-train the horse to accept commands high up on their sides from a little kids legs? Seems like the horse would be confused about that. Another great video btw.

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi Deana, this is my personal opinion, so it may not be worth much, but I honestly believe that these horses know who is on their back and they respond accordingly. For example, the day before Levi rode this horse, an adult was on him working hard and doing ranch work at full speed. When Levi got on him, he completely geared down and became very responsive and quiet. He responded to every command Levi gave him. These little kids do not have the maturity, skill, or ability to understand all of the complexities of good horsemanship. They learn as they gain experience and grow, so we try to keep it as simple as we can and focus on just having fun. I have never had to retain one of these old ranch horses to respond to getting pressure from a different or higher spot then they are use to. They just seem to figure out what the kids are trying to get them to do and they do it. I guess what I am trying to say, is we don't worry about it and the horse just seems to adjust. Thanks for your question and thank you for watching.

[@424stormygirl]

How "old" is a Old retired ranch horse and are they suitable for older folks like say around 65 yrs old on the heavier side or are they past that time in their life? By the way I love your channel!

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi, thanks for the question. Most ranches retire horses out at 17 or 18 years old. Hooray is 18, he has lots of miles and life left in him. They make perfect horses for anyone. When a ranch retires out a horse, a lot of times it is because they appreciate that horse and want to give him a good life. It does not mean that they are wore out or broke down. We have one that is 23, he can still do a full days work. Personally, I love these types of horses because they are usually honest, solid, and trust worthy. Ranches don't keep horses for 17 or 18 years if they are not really good. So yes, they make great horses for kids, beginners, or even old people like me. Honestly if you can sit in the middle, it does not matter your size they can take care of you. A good one is worth it's weight in Gold.

[@KaliAZBeef]

if someone were to win the bidding on your horse would you keep him working for a bit until transport could be arranged, and/or do you know anybody available to haul to southeast AZ?

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi, we would be happy to keep him and to keep riding him. He is one of our favorite horses to ride. We would also be happy to help make transport arrangements. We are not far from South East AZ.

[@KaliAZBeef]

@@shawnjack8092 ok! thanks, we will see what happens, horse market has been crazy and I suspect he will go out of my budget but I am gonna try. will be in touch.

[@RandallChief]

Oh yeah...I sure look forward to that...get my number from Wayne

[@pattybryd7228]

How old is Levi? Is he one of Terron's sons?

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi Patty, yes he is Terron's son, he is 6

[@RandallChief]

This Randall Chief I raised him good to here that he retired

[@shawnjack8092]

Hey Randall!!!! Wayne told me the whole story about how he got him from your family. He is awesome!!!! We need more horses like him. Great to hear from you, I hope you and your family are doing well. We need to catch up sometime, maybe go chase some wild cows!!!! ha ha
