When Your Horse Can’t Be Still

[@wildcycles1]

Sir, please don't change a thing about the way you are delivering this content. You have a gift for telling a story and getting the point across. I won't be a wrangler, but I will do better with my own horses as a result of watching your videos and then putting the information to use. Dad never sent me to chase chickens, but I loved to chop wood as a kid, so the wood pile is where my extra energy was often spent.

[@craig5477]

“Two Red Bulls & a Pop Tart”. That cracked me up. Gave me an instant picture of what you were describing. I think something that has contributed to your success as a wrangler/packer is that you have never let an incident in your life go by without taking something away from it. Not many people watch a pressure cooker & come away from that with lessons that help you navigate your life. Good on ya

[@mintonmiller]

"...two red bulls and a pop tart". I laughed so hard I literally almost fell out of my chair.

[@catherinezuppero7609]

Your constant overflow of wisdom and human decency is so magnetic that I can't stop binge watching you and your wife. Thank you, for your service to mankind!!!! God bless you both!

5:00 This is some of the best parenting advice I’ve ever heard. Parents knowing that kids being allowed to let off a little steam in a healthy way is vital, and if they’re not allowed to do so, something will explode, either inward or outward.

I love your channel, I live in MANCHESTER ENGLAND , NOT SEEN A HORSE for years may never seen a mule ever . Thank you 🇬🇧

[@cheryldahlberg1661]

i dont know you sir, but just by stumbling on your video, i discerned that not only are you knowledgable , sincere but are unusually gifted to communicate with others. im "all in" just based on that!" In my humble opinion, you have a ministry here! I enjoy horses but due to my age and previous wrecks on themi am no longer able to ride. however, that will not stop me from learning and appreciating the animal , the wisdom nor the passion for them. thank you for making these videos and for being who God made you to be!

[@bostarbird5282]

I really like the way you pass on your knowledge and ideas to others and the way you explain it. Great story teller and just the perfect amount of humor. Thank you for the great videos.

I think this video is good for far more than just horse training. Seems to me a lot of us younger parent's in this country could learn from it as well.

[@thesingingwrangler-angelam2346]

I am a wrangler and a Christian as well. This is my life. I do my best to train horses and teach people about the unique gift God has given us by using them to reach people. Everything I have watched in your videos is fantastic and I agree completely. It is exactly as you say it. It is logical, practical, considerate, and such good sense. The horses asks questions and we have to figure how best to answer them. I am always seeking to learn more things that will make me a better hand with horses, cattle, and people. I enjoy the way you present and having this as an authentic resource. Thank for making these videos.

Right thing relief wrong thing difficult. Makes your idea their idea. Great videos one of my favorite channels!

[@grassblade63]

I tell you what, that's one of the most helpful videos I have ever watched! I got my horse from a guy who said he couldn't be ridden, the horse just wouldn't stop and couldn't be tied. The owner previous to him said the same thing. It's taken me a while to get the horse right, but now, that horse does what I want, almost before I want it. This video, and the analogy of the pressure cooker would have made my training time even shorter, though. My horse, I just can't praise him enough now. The other day, we rode with the guy who used to own him, and he was just amazed at my Ranger. Heck, the horse even loads himself in the trailer, 100% of the time (just a little trick I taught him). More training videos please..I'll watch 'em all!

[@oliverscholz1410]

I‘d be interested in that trailer trick 😅 greetings from Germany

[@grassblade63]

@@oliverscholz1410 Ok, the "trailer trick". This requires a little explaining, so pardon the long post. First, your horse has to trust you. My horse and I have built good trust, and it's not an instant thing, but I think it's required, really. The horse has to know that going in the trailer isn't a bad deal for him. Anyhow, I got my horse to where he is good on a lead rope, and loads easily. I used to step in first and he'd follow me in. I'd tie him in the trailer and love on him a minute. I realized that I never put any pressure on the lead rope, and he can't really see it, he can only feel it, ya with me so far? In the pasture, I tried just tossing the lead over his neck and lightly bumping the knot where it ties to the halter so he thinks I have the rope, but I don't. He followed me everywhere. Then I tried it going in the trailer. Sure enough, he'd follow me in the trailer. Then, I'd pretend to lead him around and up to the back of the trailer, but I stop at the back gate, and he just steps on in and goes to where he gets tied. He thinks I still have the rope, but it's just laying over his neck. It looks neat, and I guess it is, but there's not much to it. People standing around are quite impressed by it, though!

[@oliverscholz1410]

[@jppestana1]

Common sense chats over a cup of coffee.Works for me! I think this is one of the toughest issues for most horse owners. Good job all around. And the communication style as the previous comment states works real well. Kind of like Baxter Black but instead from being "out there" you're "sitting in our kitchen."

I like the simplicity of how you solve „problems“ or situations . When others say „ my horse has to stand still“ your solution is „ if it wants to walk let it walk . That’s exactly my way of thinking . Keep making this great content . Greetings from Germany Bavaria

[@terryqueen3233]

it's amazing that you come up with the remedy for a fidgety child I used to do the same thing with mine when he was running around the walls of the house I told him go outside and run around in the yard until he felt a little bit tired and then come in and it worked every time I can't believe you said that because I've done the same identical thing. we too much alike. I'm glad you said that about a fidgety horse because that Appaloosa of mine used to be the same way and I didn't know what to do but now I know. happy trails

If you’re still Wrangling in the next couple years,& this back surgery is a success,my wife and I would love to come ride with y’all.I’ve hunted all around Gunnison,Cement Creek area mainly.

I’ve been been dealing with ponies for a long time in my life,& would like to get horseback and just relax in the high country. One of my friends, Billie Cowden,is from Eagle Co.& one of the best trainers I’ve ever met. He taught me a great deal.

[@vessietaylor]

That works... the circle thing... I laughed hearing you say it. I slipped on it accidently. Got angry cause my horse ran me under trees and took off with me running,I fell backward still holding the reins as she drug me thru 2 almond orchards and back... then stopped and sniffed me. Wildest drag show I ever performed and I'm a real gal. Have the scars on my back that's faded but that memory has stuck forever. The circle thing was my revenge.

[@larryreese6146]

Your video " it's your bronc, ride it" was outstanding. I'm not in a habit of sharing videos but I have shared that particular little talk with my sons my daughter, and intend to share it with anybody I think might listen and who needs it. I had always had those ideas and have tried to live by that philosophy, learned it from my parents teachings and by their example. I was one of the lucky ones and bless my luck every day. I don't take it for granted. But I could never have expressed my thoughts in just such a way as you are able to, and I'm good with words. As long as you're talkin", I'm gonna be listenin' and figure a lot of other people should be too.

Subbed. Gladly. Good, common sense horsemanship found here. A funny thing about a horse; the more you try to tell them not to move their feet, the more they feel a need to move their feet (partly, it's survival instinct). But, the more you allow them the opportunity to move their feet the easier it is for them to find a quiet spot to put their feet. Just my observation. 😄

Growing up in east ky myself i get the pressure cooker theory. We logged many miles in Danile Boone national forest on lots of horses . My grandpa’s 1st rule was if your behind me stay back to we’re you can see my horses back feet come off the ground. If you can’t do that ride circles around me all the way down the trail until you can and they catch on quickly and that has work for me in so many ways with horses he would always say you will have to put in the work to appreciate the ride. So refreshing to here you share. Thanks

A person can always learn something knew if he’s looking and willing to learn. I find at least a little nugget of info that’s worthy of tucking into my library of knowledge each time I watch. And your phrase in itself carries a lot of credit, “ be logical, and be reasonable.” Good stuff.. thank ya much!

[@warrenwieske]

Your title caught my attention. When I was a younger man I had an Anglo-Arab mare. She was a beautiful animal but just would not want to walk anywhere. She always wanted to run so she jigged ALL the time. I asked a friend who was a quarter horse trainer and his response/solution was a 100% opposite to yours. He was all about yanking on the but to “shock” her into being still. It didn’t work!! I wish I knew this info back then. It would have solved so much frustration on mine and the horses part.

[@bobbenson5733]

Solution for low volume audio: I am not a techy, but I got two boys who get the credit: If you have a Smart TV (we got one from walmart because lightening burned the old one), when you start this KZbin, you can project it to your TV, tab on video, tab on upper right icon - watch the video on your TV, and turn up the volume! Appearently you can blue tooth to computer too, or just youtube there with speaker attached, but I am not there yet! - Thank you for the video.

[@michaeld2662]

We love to hear your take on various subjects based on your life experience. My paternal grandfather (RIP) called it ‘horse sense’. Maybe common sense is not that common these days. Just think of some of the nonsense being talked about nowadays that some folks are taking seriously. Just one example; a male who “identifies” as a female. A boy who “identifies” as a girl competing on a female sports team. Really? Have we heard as a society really come to this? Love the vids and keep on truckin’.

Being in the dude ranch setting you see this problem a lot when you’re riding a horse you pulled out of a 100+ herd, it’s really hard to do trotting circles when you’re leading guests but honestly it’s all you can do. Nothing dulls a horses mouth like constantly checking them up

[@michaelhester3147]

I guess I'm a mite different than most folks. I have rode a lot of horses on trail rides, and stuff. Some horses do just fine if they are out in front, and do just great, put em in the middle or in the back, they didn't like it. But where they didn't want to be, is where I would ride em! Sometimes it was a little rough, but they needed to learn different places, it was where I wanted them to be, not where they wanted to be, in there happy place. And if they didn't want to stand, just before they moved, I made em move. They thought it was my idea and not theirs, they figured out that it's easier to stand...than to move. But what do I know, I'm 73 and still learning! Just another case of "there you are"

When I backpacked a lot I was treated poorly by some (but definitely not all) horsemen, as a horseman, it’s amazing how some some hikers and bikers view me!
