Vaquero Bridle Horse

This is my Vaquero bridle horse, and I trained him using the traditional Vaquero methods. He was given to me for free, and no one else wanted him because he didn't have a good blood line or conformation. Good horsemanship can overcome a lot of things!

I don't see the need for criticism here. This man has a wonderful, "light" touch--softl hands, balance and communication. He's not performing to NRCHA standards. He's demonstrating Vaquero horsemanship. Plus, I LOVE that he took this horse who no one else wanted and turned him into a star. I'd like to see him at the Western states Horse Expo. He'd be amazing! Thanks, Carson. I LOVED your demonstration!

[@Ladypurr]

@@David-hj8nq So the beautifully-choreographed performances by the Spanish Riding School (which, incidentally, teaches dressage) is just "fancy princess riding"? Yes, this horse could work cows and do other "cowboy" stuff, but high level dressage is the ultimate in horsemanship. The horse and rider are so in tune with each other that you see them as "one." Perhaps it's just too subtle for you. I can understand that. But it takes years of training and serious communication to achieve Grand Prix status.

[@TimMcNamee-s7u]

That horse is having as much fun as Carson! Very cool.

[@chesawoo]

one can see that you have a loose rein at all times...then no reins...fantastic!!!!

[@GodsSparrowSpeaks]

Oh that was so beautiful to watch! It was like seeing my grandfather all over again! What a blessing, thank you 🐎

[@franceseileenbuntin401]

Wow. Made me tear up watching this. God bless Carson James

[@me99521]

i love it, and I too have a rescue quarterhorse, gentled him about 6 months ago and with the help of your program he is a great horse, thaiks for putting these out there , even though Ive been riding for 53 years, I still find I have alot to learn !

[@tomkilcullen5421]

It's amazing when two entities come together in the true form of trust and sound training. Good on ya ole son. Blessings on you and your family. Thanx.

[@FOCHS5]

papers don't make a good horse...A good horse is a good horse! he's AWESOMENESS Mr. James!!

[@chuckstrickpony]

WOW.....a visual feast! Thank you for caring and encouraging people who love the horse!

[@equusvi]

Thank you Carson, I just love your Horsey and the way you ride him. What an inspiration you and your equine partner are!!

[@walkdontrun1999]

I also rescued my colt and have a very close partner bond relationship and love how Carsons philosophy stands out in all his videos. Once you really see your horse not for the colour he is or the papers he has or hasn't it's a game changer. Since I started following Carsons horsemanship philosophy Ive see a huge change in my Horse but also in myself. It's like Carson opens your eyes to what is right in front of you the whole time. From the bottom of my heart thank you Carson for giving me that connection with my horse.

[@samorthmann2511]

He's beautiful! Nice work, nice riding, Carson!

[@gmwwc]

That is real nice. Better than just nice. That is skill and dedication.

[@CarmelBrudenell]

Love it. Such brilliant work from a fabulous trainer working with a fabulous horse.

[@hollyleonard5181]

It must feel wonderful to accomplish this with any horse and he is beautiful !!

[@JaneFrizzell]

Your horse loves you.

[@ljones2868]

Pretty is as pretty does. I like him.

[@bung369]

This man is outstanding

[@marietwitch]

Awesome!! He is lucky to have you . Beautiful horse..

[@kimvt1111]

You've done a great job Carson James and it is important for folks to know about the need for saving those horses headed for slaughter. I personally don't get all the emphasis on "spinning", it looks hard on their bodies/legs, but I do see a great partnership which to me is the most important thing. Well done!

kimvt1111 the spin is to teach the horse to sit back on its hocks. .. can't work a cow properly without it

[@prypiat27]

Man that is impressive

[@forsherri4]

Amen! Well done! Well said! Thank you.

[@tam1st]

Very beautiful horse!! Your true friend. He is great!

[@wendy-louharding8370]

Thank you for rescuing him! ♥

[@joythomas163]

I love this. My horse Ziggy was a rescue with no papers. We are working through some issues with James Carsons methods.

[@terrisummers8099]

Horsey is a good looking and well trained horse and I think he is worth as much as a papered horse any day..

[@bung369]

Obviously a great horse trainer, handler, so is Rick Gore, there are lots of great horse trainers, thier techniques and ways are a little different to each other, people need to take what they like from each trainer an use it.

[@nathanmunoz6232]

Wow impressive 🐐 ❤

[@ConchoHillsGuestRanch-CHR1]

Excellent!

[@crazykuup9271]

That’s an amazing horsemen!!!!

[@EderHolguin]

Simply Amazing!

[@mustangchronicles4003]

Very nice work. Clearly you are a team.

[@lorimegginson5681]

Papers don't impress me much. Yes it's cool to know the pedigree history but it's what's in the eyes and heart of a horse that I look for. Rescues are more often than not the best. TLC and proper horsemanship is sometimes all that is needed. Your horse hit the jackpot when he was chosen by you. Praying for many happy trails for you both.

Lori Megginson confirmation is everything. Mustangs have terrible confirmation

[@danabolic84]

Very impressive 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@comesahorseman]

Impressive communication with your horse, & he works willingly. One concern, personally I'd be concerned about wear & tear on the hocks.

[@shwerks]

Horsey ROCKS!

[@jbarlynch]

Bad ass horse!!

very impressive

[@christinehouse3537]

love him. you can give him to me. nice love it . that's why I pick you for my personal trainer. , love your work.

[@nathanmunoz6232]

How do I get him as personal trainer where is he located?

[@alexamarandas1089]

Earlier today, I was watching Rick gore horsemanship, and was disgusted. I saw the thumbnail of one of carsons videos, and saw someone with a flat brim hat, and I had to click. I thought to myself "this guy is some wannabe buckaroo or the real deal" and we have Buck Brannaman Jr. buckeroo vaquero over here. Keep up the good work!

[@sonseere10]

If you pay attention you will realize that Rick Gore has the best interests of the horse in mind. He is an excellent horseman.

[@bellep9489]

Actually I've seen Rick Gore yank on a horse's face with a rope halter more times than I can count while preaching "softness" :/

[@ammoshortage]

I agreed with everything you said until I read the Buck Brannaman Jr. part. I think Carson is better (in my opinion) and exudes far more humility than Buck! I don't know who appointed buck the 'model' and 'spokesman' of the Buckaroo world, but I'd rather watch the likes of Carson James, Jeff Sanders, Martin Black and Dave & Gwyn Weaver. Just my thoughts.

[@imagineifyouwereaworm]

Rick is a fantastic horseman.

[@sirronmitt]

There is nothing wrong with Rick's horsemanship, or advice. If you look at his earlier videos then you will see the man also knows how to ride. He has gotten tired of the bickering and gossip of what he calls barn witches.

[@larryruthmangus2284]

Very nice job papers aren't always important

[@wisepati123]

Lovely horse. All in the eye of the beholder isn't it? I am sure he was warmed up properly before doing this and also conditioned and muscled up. This is some very athletic work and many horses are pushed into it to too fast. I understand that many 'reining' horses are finished at 5 or 6 due to the stress put on them. To me that is just another form of abuse.

[@furyxvanity2946]

Vaquero horses are mostly only finished when there about 10, takes about 5 years for the whole riding process, but you spend years on conditioning horses slowly and building muscle, it takes alot of strength to be able to do any of this and thats something we don't forget, this is why it takes sometimes even 6 7 years until your finished, the Vaqeuro tradition is about taking your time to get a good horse.

[@devriescustomleather1109]

Good!

[@natalia8448]

how did you do that to this point?? that's amazing!

[@brookejohnson7685]

hi Carson, how ya been??

[@sonseere10]

Something I don't understand about Vaquero horsemanship------------why go from various sizes of hackamore to a bit when the horse can do all required activities in a hackamore. Yes, I understand about tradition. If the horse can do it all in a hackamore, then break tradition, and stop with the hackamore in the training process.

[@TheSwancott]

Huh? A good horse is a good horse; looks like one of those to me.

[@hagopovski]

If horses could talk, i wonder what they would say.

hagopovski they would say: I love a job. ... give me a job

[@buckarooman6736]

They can talk to a human just not in our language they give us deferent hints about what they are thinking

[@vaquero7x]

this is some kind of mexican vaquero imitation but vaqueros do not hold the reins that way. The mexican vaquero holds the reins differently than other riders of the world because the mexican vaqueros invented the saddle horn and all the roping techniques. For this reason the vaquero holds the reins with the palm of the hand upwards not downwards as this rider does. When the mexican vaquero holds the reins with the palm upwards, he can have his lazo placed on the palm of the hand

[@vaquero7x]

@Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel claro porque no lazan a cabeza de silla. Como está agarrando la rienda el charro en la pintura que usas de James Walker? Esa pintura es del centro de México y no de California como muchos creen. Ademas, la cultura de California es de México tambien (Nueva España). Como montaba George Washington?

[@vaquero7x]

@Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel entiendelo bien, el "cowboy" es un robo cultural a los mexicanos

[@vaquero7x]

@Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel no, James Walker vivió en la ciudad de México antes de llegar a California. Ese traje es del centro de México.

[@vaquero7x]

@Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel todas las cabezas de las sillas, grandes o chicas, son del centro de México. Nada tiene que ver el norte o sur. En la Nueva España (en el centro) se crearon muchas variedades de sillas de montar. Con el tiempo estas sillas se fueron hacia el norte hasta llegar a Hawaii

[@vaquero7x]

@Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel observa las pinturas de Edouard Pingret, Manuel Serrano, Claudio Linati, Lino Sanchez y Tapia, Casimiro Castro, etc.

[@francescotramacere8298]

Cavallo esegue male lo Spin! Saltella con gambe anteriori. Lavora meglio senza nulla. Con imboccatura e' troppo agitato.

[@chartreusecircle1546]

This sucks.

[@chartreusecircle1546]

texas vaquero horsemanship dude you’re a loser

[@Skypilotsaints]

Now take the spurs off

[@wild_mustangs_and_parrots]

I wondered too. No doubt this was good, but he sure was raking that horse in the spins. Maybe that's what it takes to get them to spin fast.
