WILD, REACTIVE AND FEARFUL - How To Deal With Fear Response In Horse

I look at a horse in need of a new home due to being wild, reactive and fearful in all situations.
follow along as we bring her home. Learn why we give her a new name and the first two steps of helping a scared, nervous, spooky and untrained horse.

[@billwebb3371]

That’s amazing. I love that you prayed over her.

[@billsterling6485]

With God standing along side of you and him in your heart Son, I can only see fine things in the future...... God Bless.

[@wakingohiomama9110]

💜💜💜💜

[@PatriseHenkel]

Love your renaming with spiritual intent. That’s awesome and transformative.💕

[@jimmydemetriou7847]

What a lovely turn around. Goes to show what faith can do. Thank you XX

[@rhondacross4075]

I found your channel when I saw you at the auction looking at Oliver. Was so happy when you were finally able to load him and heading home. The fact that you stopped to give him a break and drink from the pond. That touched my heart. Decided to watch your other videos. This one where you name Faith and pray over her. That touched my heart and soul. The spirit of fear had to leave. What a change in Faith! I am enjoying your channel.

[@sherryhoffman1601]

I Love the fact that you prayed over Faith 1st plus gave her a name to Declare over her. She was totally changed! Great idea JR! Blessings!🐴🥰🙏🏼

[@michelleservantofjesus2009]

100% the best way to deal with any challenges that we're faced with is with Jesus 1st!This brings tears to my eyes, watching you pray over this horse is so beautiful. And to see how calm she is in your hands is Amazing and that's because of your faith! Even the animals and the plants sings His praises!!!❤❤❤

[@davidlewis3169]

The CORE OF EVERYTHING...The Power of The Holy Spirit in Action. AMEN Brother! Jesus is LORD, and we can do ALL things through Him which strengthens us. I have got to take care of Horses and be around them, and I love them, and they love me because they know our Spirits

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

It’s the foundation!

[@ranjrog]

Well, that wasn’t what I was expecting but the results look very good so I am looking forward to seeing more progress!!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

This mare was so far off I had to have a good starting point. Training from here on out!!!

[@gailsprangers9388]

Faith. What a perfect name for a beautiful horse. You can tell she senses that you are not going to be aggressive with her. The gentleness but confidence you have with her seems to make her feel safe. She needed that. I'm looking forward to seeing you bond and train her to become the wonderful horse I believe she has the potential to be. She has such a beautiful soft face and eyes. Love her❤❤❤

[@alethacriss1528]

Yes, another awesome video! I received your response back regarding your daughters and their horse experience. So good to see Rebekah out meeting the new horse Faith. Faith is a beauty, I love the name that has been chosen for her, she appears to like it and it suits her well. Nice to actually see your wife too, we spoke over the phone a while back, so a shout out to her too. One of my Mustangs, Molly reminds me a lot of Faith. I look forward to be seeing more work that you and Rebekah will be doing with little Faith.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

She is making progress fast and videos will follow

[@allieg3920]

Wonderful video. Brought me to tears how youve already changed faiths life. I look so forward to watching her grow.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thanks I will try to get a training video out by Sunday on her

[@sherrykeeney7376]

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!! Loved the immediate name change losing the negativity of the last name that wasnt working out to a positive one & I never would've thought to pray over her like that & ask for the things you did it was truly magical/Spiritual I could see the change come down over her like the holy spirit washing down over her - & her starting to be friendly as u made friends with her slowly patiently what a difference! Thank you for continuing to teach us green horns ❤️😇 this video was exceptional!!

[@danaefayard725]

Please give us more of your journey with Faith!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

We are working on an update.

[@marycoker99]

I love that you gave Shadow a new name Faith and you prayed 🙏 💖 over her. Amen 🙏 She loves ❤️ her new name. 😊

[@kristawilson718]

It's a beautiful thing!!! You're a very wise man for renaming her and commanding those spirits to go! I always send them to the dry places to await judgement and to never to return or send any in their place! Very important! Oh slew foot IS always, looking for a way back! Have a Blessed day🤗

[@jennikane6815]

What a beautiful girl 💕 I hope she's calmed and relaxed even more, I'm just catching up on videos and saw beautiful Faith

[@GolfMissouri]

It’s a year late to comment but Im going thru all your great vids. Im getting to know you all and I see the love u put in your family and your animals!

[@gypsyqueen3806]

Faith has a very bright future with you!!! I love her already!!

[@susanpasieka6230]

When you started praying over Faith, I absolutely lost it. Her response was immediate. Your wife was right again!! When you gonna learn Fella?

[@paulrobertson7650]

I think a lot of problems are actually the owners who have an inner fear of horses,obviously they won't admit to it but if that fear is there any horse will sense it...well done you..

[@molitorsk]

Thank you for showing the world how to be kind and caring - all any living creature wants is to be treated kindly, good feed and daily fresh water, medical care, they crave understanding. 😊

[@maureenstringer4362]

Don’t know how I missed this but I’m certainly very pleased I caught up with it now. That was amazing! I felt goosebumps when you were naming her, what a beautiful thing to do. You’ve got to be the most calming person for any horse to be with. To be honest, I could sense the stress coming off the lady you bought her off, she was wound tight I thought. So pleased faith is with you. Xx

[@david25876]

That’s amazing. Horses can feel a loving spirit. Truly beautiful. Look forward to seeing progress. Thank you for sharing.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

It’s sad how many people try to train and don’t know that.

[@glennsnider8840]

More please! Very enjoyable seeing the mare share your confidence.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thanks it’s coming but basketball season is keeping us running to games and we’re swamped.

[@lizweber4996]

Amazing how a change of handschanges a horses perspective of things.... i wouldnt trust no one yankimg on me either

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

That woman was really trying and did as good as she could that horse needed professional help. The new owner I sold her too just contacted me this week and said she is a great horse and is very happy with her.

[@pattysmith7836]

You can see that Faith felt your positivity. It was amasing.

[@claudiadickerman4218]

Animals for sure can sense whether a person is good or not so good. Not saying the lady who had her was bad, but this horse was sensing danger from her for whatever reason. Maybe she had yelled at the horse before this day, or pushed her too hard instead of taking the time to go slow and build trust. With you sir, I could almost hear what she was thinking......ya, this guy is nice, I can feel real nice energy from him. He isn't jerking me, he isn't raising his voice, he is connecting with me...ok so I will give him back a bit of the same. I believe in the power of prayer as well, it works on any living thing if you have FAITH. God gave us the dominion over all the creatures of this earth, they will bond if the human has what it takes. I hope there are other videos of her with you training her and riding her. Also, was Faith supposed to go back to the lady or did you buy her, or was she given to you by the lady. Just wondering.

[@lauracox4009]

So beautiful. I always believe a horse is spiritual and will rise to the name you give it. Glad Faith found you!

[@edrabogucki401]

I love seeing you pray over these horses! They start feeling it before you start, they sense your calm and peace 😍

[@wakingohiomama9110]

God is so good! He knew what he was doing! Maybe your heart horse or another one lol. All of mine were my whole heart. We played tag, had lunches, and had sleepovers. I miss them. Horribly. Thanks for letting me live through your eyes!

[@kajinsautumn9833]

Some people claim that changing a horse's name is bad luck, but I feel like changing my horse's name meant a new forever life with me. His name was Dusty when I got him over 9 yrs. ago. I named him Kajin. Dusty just never seemed like it fit. Like when something is sitting around being ignored, not touched, it gets dusty. I made a promise to him that he would never have another owner. He had over 7 owners (at least!) before me! So there was a LOT of trust issues, confidence, fear and letting him know he could trust me. He's just an amazing horse now and still going strong at 23 yrs. old! He's a TWH.

[@renepena3024]

I just LOVE your channel! I grew up with horses but, unfortunately, the men in their lives from my step-dad, to their farrier, to the stranger at the State Fair, did not treat them kindly. Your renaming ceremony for Faith was so beautiful and it reminded me of Dr. Masaru Emoto and his experiments with water. Thank you to you and your family for creating such lovely content.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

❤️

[@costrio]

Beautiful creature, I hope to see more. Great storyline, dealing with fearful responses, IMO.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

More to come!

[@dawnbutler9649]

I think she calms to your low tone voice.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

Love the name change!!! FAITH!!

[@OlavSurlandHansen]

Thanks for sharing this amazing and beautiful experience.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Your welcome. I just filmed a progress video on her and will try to edit it by this weekend. Please subscribe and follow her story.

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

Hello from Piqua Ohio keep up the great videos.

[@denisewineberg3371]

Amazing praise god..new subscriber here..I saw the change immediately..beautiful name.so happy I found your video.

[@mcdugalmcstiffy6889]

Nice work, that horse needs a friend.

[@northwood60]

An unbelievable improvement! Great work JR

[@staceycadaret5454]

My daughter named faith ❤ perfect name for this mare

[@jeanlamberty6490]

I think your calmness, gentleness is the difference. Your prayers made the difference.....Being yanked around previously just was not helping....I can't wait to see the progress you two make..

[@beeechcreek3415]

Nice way to start a Sunday morning with this heart warming video in my feed. When I find some time, I'll be watching more back videos. Awesome Deliverance Prayer over this beautiful horse, Faith. I starting following your channel, when Oliver entered your familys thoughts and prayer. Enjoy your channel.

[@ErnieB]

There is a lesson in this, for all of us, if only we are receptive. Thank you for posting.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thanks for the appreciation

[@lindaed3594]

Awesome! I love the way you prayed & explained her name change. This was a wonderful video! Faith is so blessed to be with you all😊 Emeri was right!❤❤❤

[@lizxu322]

Its too similar, mine was also untouched until age 3, just grown up in a paddock .The way she grunts and sighs noisily reminds me of my rescue Australian stock horse. But shes is very smart and got good looks. She will now follow me around in a paddock, but it took months before i can touch her and now its still hard catching her in an open paddock. I just gave her shampoo and conditioner treatment yesterday and she was very non reactive. Love from Australia!

[@thebodyofchrist56]

Beautiful!

[@guitarzana688]

Amen 🙏

[@kellymanas6133]

Like a different horse...well she actually is now...new name new spirit. Look forward to watching her transformation..

[@rlredifer410]

Okay. I like the changing of the name. That’s a good start. It typically takes a horse about 30 day and in some cases more to settle into new surroundings. Often the change of surroundings can be a positive factor. This time should be used for gaining trust and being present. As far as the prayers go, if that is what it takes for you to project calmness and good vibes, I’m all for whatever works. These reactive horses are in my opinion the most dangerous to handle. It often doesn’t take much to upset them and when they explode, it’s sudden. Just from the short part in the beginning of the video, I could see a bunch of factors upsetting that horse. Each would need to be addressed individually and then compounded together. I could talk about this kind of horse for hours. I wish you luck and hope you can get her over her past experiences. Be safe!

[@Ruminaras]

What a beautiful video! I may not being seeing this correctly. Please don’t wrap the rope lead around your fingers! If the baby takes off fast and hard enough you’ll lose them or at minimum break them. 😢❤

[@peterjones4621]

Is it possible that she was mistreated which has made her this way?

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

No she was not.

[@PacificNorthwestEquestrian]

The prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16. This video is proof of that.❤

[@heistandhorses876]

This is fascinating. I have a mustang I am having a lot of trouble with and was looking for help. Glad I found your videos

[@bribecher]

How would you go about this with a horse that bolts along with these reactions? My horse has the same overreactive fearful behaviors but she rips the lead rope out of my hands and if she was tied would flip herself backwards just to get loose

[@diannawalker758]

That was amazing! Thank you for sharing.

[@donna-mariebryant4129]

Amen and amen, beautiful prayer, lv the holy spirits work.

[@rhondab9792]

Stop looking in horse's eyes. You are acting like a predator and worsening its instinctive fear.

[@Dana_Leigh7]

Just subscribed. Your videos are so calming and informative

[@elizabethgalipault8295]

Amen

[@nikothesavage5895]

This made me tear up I love that you prayed over her! God is good!!! ❤❤

[@TheJuliastowe]

Leave religion out of this. Working with horses has nothing to do with an imaginary man.

[@debrarichey2309]

Let's have a prayer chain!

[@BarbaraCardin]

I LOVE how you prayed for her and took dominion over the spirit of fear and changed her name to Faith. I love, love, love. Thank you for being an example of Jesus Christ.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

❤️❤️❤️

[@cindyl542]

Your love, peace, calmness, and faith radiated from this video I’m blown away with the difference that you are making in her life.

[@danlindeke2561]

Please get the plastic covers over round pen connections. Horse gets leg caught in taper between panels 😊

[@KristinaBenoit]

That was lovely. Thank you for sharing Faith with us.

[@karaamundson3964]

Dominion does not equal domination. Domination is oppression and that is quite negative indeed

[@OttersMum]

A little more horse training and a lot less sermon would be fantastic

[@beckygossett4697]

The fact that she could be haltered and trailered! That shows promise.

[@forsythia33]

That's beautiful and amazing!

[@swagboss2334]

i’m trying this on my new gelding tomorrow. he is very reactive and i haven’t been able to bond with bim

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

It helps the trainer as much as the horse good luck. Stay tuned I am just getting ready to start riding her so watch for new videos.

[@Stink43]

Great video

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

I see your name gas squat here in it. I am going to do a squat hunt video sometime. Are you interested?

[@Stink43]

@@homesteadhorsemanship Sounds good to me. I read some guy commented saying to talk less religion. Nonsense. I appreciate anyone willing to talk about the Lord in a positive way. Don't let these random people discourage you from talking about what you believe in

[@Frank-ih9ew]

Seemed like it was the dog making the horse nervous... but I'm no expert horse trainer. The horse seemed to react to the dog and where the dog was standing.

[@Frank-ih9ew]

Dogs make me nervous sometimes too. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Being cautious is a good thing sometimes.

[@joanfox3906]

Thank you! Going to try this when I get home, I got one reactive mare

[@TexasTweed]

WOW ! Faith is like a totally different horse now .

[@staceycadaret5454]

Update ?

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

She actually already found a new home. She was here for about 7ish months. Jr rode her A-LOT and she got over all the reactions, fear etc. she fell hard for Jr lol. She was kinda a “one person horse” A lady contacted us looking for a trail partner and she came out and rode her and loved her, Faith fit well with her. Last we heard she still loves Faith and they get along perfectly.

[@LucyGirl-61]

Not sure if it’s on my end but it keeps buffering about half way through

[@arizonamom8773]

She is a gorgeous color and a sweet girl! God bless and watch over her🙏

[@gennijarrett8926]

Jr and Emery she is beautiful

[@thebettin]

I would love to know what happened to Faith? I have never seen any other videos about her. Maybe I have just missed them. I was so impressed with this story. Do you have further information about her. Do you still have her? Thanks in Advance.

[@farmerastronaut9804]

There are several other videos of her posted soon after this video.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

We were not the best on update videos at this point. A couple months into Faith being with us we had someone call wanting to meet her and the person ended up taking her home! The person and Faith really bonded and worked out well.

[@wakingohiomama9110]

I mean she's terrified poor baby. Shudder to think what's gone on with her she also seems scared of the dog.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

She came so far so fast though. Her new owner says she is a great horse and not had any problems. Watch the rest of her videos and please subscribe!

[@suebonhomme723]

Awesome that you do that!! Amen God!!
