Thank you very much for not filming in portrait mode
I've discovered, rather quickly, that the horses I work with are never the issue. They're easy. They are so pure in their honesty and response. It's always the two legged ones who are the biggest challenge.

Thank you so much for this video. It is a revelation. My New Forest was an UTTER nightmare at the block. After doing tonnes of groundwork with him I was determined to address the issue. I spent two weeks following the advice given in this video and only doing the groundwork as shown. As of this week, my pony stands like a statue at block. No fuss when I get on. Doesn't attempt to move off. He will stand still until I ask him to move. My pony is 20 years old and I suspect has never stood still at a mounting block until now. You can teach an old horse new tricks ! Thank you Steve. The whole process is now relaxed and I feel safe

I’ve heard people say that a mic emits signals that we can’t hear but a horse can and it affects some horses with training. Nothing to do with where we live it’s just done for the benefit of the horse plus he does wear one sometimes but I suppose it depends on the horse he’s training.
The lady was delighted with your help.
She said he's better now. Now he really improves with your touch. I know it's dangerous if the horse doesn't stand still. But this guy moved just enough to mess up the mount. I have to politely disagree with you Steve. I think he knew exactly what to do to mess up the mount. 1 or 2 steps front or back & he's won!🤣😂LOL He reminds me of a guy that couldn't hear & used sign language. To win an argument he would gently close his eyes😂 That was it!he won! Like the horse he would gently take a step or 2 out of possession & he won! But of course he met you the game changer! New rules! New game! But he's still the winner ! Because in your game you corrected him without violence. And he and the rider are happier for it. Well done👏👏👏!!
he is such a cute horse. He is a good horse, he just figured out if he moves away no one will get on.

That first segments of the owner trying to mount are the funniest horse videos I've ever seen. This lady could go viral making videos of those antics.

I know it's the worst thing about the UK. Being an island completely surrounded by the sea doesn't help either in a more northern lattitute.
omg I was dying laughing when Steve was doing the racing announcement especially when he got to the point about "steve's gotten off...too much unrequested forward motion..." lol
Your videos are my meditation. Bringing me great calm. I miss horses and riding. My physical condition won’t allow for that anymore. But the way I turn off a light switch now is with a gentle stroke of the back of my fingers. It brings me for a moment back to the calm and wonder of horses in your videos! Great work Steve, Tanya/Tonya, Charlotte & Jimmy team.💙💜♥️

I cannot ride anymore either. I hope to be able to purchase a small amount of property and keep a couple minis or ponies to drive. I plan to use Steve's videos, especially the pony ones, to make sure what ever small equines I end up with don't become monsters. The little ones are so easy to spoil that I want their experiences with me to be good from the start.
I just got a horse a week ago and he does this! Thank you for your insight and wisdom
I'm SO glad I found you!!!! I am full on hooked! I've never had a horse and will probably never be able to have one but I've always loved them and one can dream. I am living vicariously through you and your family and your amazing videos! I love the banter between you and Tanya. So fun!!! ❤️

Steve I love your videos I. Live in a camper at night I watch them all the time .you make me laugh in every video.. love you guys stay safe. Missing my video got to go . lol
Love the horse making the owner work for the mount, thanks for a good laugh because I've seen it so often. He wasn't being bad, he just figured out a way to avoid being ridden. Love when a horse has been taught to stand when mounting, so much safer and enjoyable.
I’m always shocked at how much they talk and interrupt you. They hardly listen. I just don’t understand it because your knowledge is pure gold! I would be hanging on every word you say! But, by the end, you always get your point across.
So much to learn from the ground. Thanks for the video content.
I've seen so many people sooooo heavy handed on the bit that the horse can't help but back away from it. Of course it does him no good because the rider never stops the pressure on the mouth. 😔 Every moment on your horse should be building how lightly can I get the response .
I loved Steve's commenting of the imaginary race on the beginning of the video 😂
Your training is amazing.
Ello.. I must say, yours is the only English channel I've subbed to. (Hmmm.. its tough to text an English accent!) 😂 ...but really... I do love your channel. I sure hope you continue to grow! You can get one of those cool mics that hear everyone equally! & a good editing app to level all of you out & git rid of the background sounds! I'm certainly not nit-picking!! Just offering some helpful advice! But maybe until then... You could repeat what the owners are saying? Or the "jist" of what they are sayin' to you? That way we know what you are answering to. Thank You SOOOOOO much for your great advice! & I really like you having someone to chit chat with while showing the countryside!
What a lovely boy, he seems so gentle. Bless him. 💙
I'm amazed to see your technics for basic training. 30 years ago my daughter was into horses. We got her a horse, not knowing anything. The horse, Bellalika, taught us so much. A very kind horse, straight off of polo with a split sheath and tendon. The 1st 3 months every day was soaking, poultice and walking 2 times a day. Bella loved us and we loved her, although she was abt 15yo. My friend and I went in on a 4yo Arabian, only halter broke (sort of). He must have been one of the kindest spirits of a horse ever. With very little book knowledge we trained him and my daughter took him to his 1st show jumping show, with a clear round. Oh how I wish we had your videos to have informed us about so much we just stumbled through with him. I'm old now but am just mesmerized by watching you. ❤ Too bad we didn't have KZread then.😂😂😂
Really enjoy your videos they are so helpful great job with this horse Steve and Tanya is so patient with the filming come rain or shine never takes her eyes of the job. So appreciate you sharing. I've use some of your Technics on my youngsters I have two, they made such a difference to them understanding what I was asking for, they searched and found it but only because I was asking in the right way thanks to you. Thank you🍻
Hi 👋 from East Tennessee USA, 🇺🇸. I got such a kick out of watching this horse's character. " oh no,... I'm not going to let you ride on me today...🤔🙃... I'll just back away" LOL😃 But then when he got it it was like, yay! all I want to do is just cheer him on over and over again. It's so exciting to watch him get it! That's a great horse. Lovely lady that owns him. Thank you Steve and Tanya, for making my day happy! 😃🥳🎉💖
LOVE Steve's method.... it's so wise and kind. Horses deserve to be treated this way. Sad to see so many treated badly, and they end up being terrified or spoiled. Also, this video is GREAT in 'wide view'. Thank you! And thank you for trying to make sure we can hear Steve over the wind and noise. BIG blessings to you both from Texas! 🤠 Yeeeehaw!
I must say, I burst out laughing when Steve did his horse race commentary near the start of this video 🤣🤣.
Today I’ve ordered a few of your training tools for my sisters birthday. She loves her horses.
Simply amazing! Thank you Steve for showing the step by step communication. And thank you Tania (Tanya), for recording all!
"Did you call the right bloke?" 🤣🤣🤣 That's funny!!
Love Surrey my aunt lives there. My mum was from London .I'm in us born here .but I've been there loved it.
"Too much unrequested forward motion"!! 🤣🤣 you guys crack me up! Love the channel ❤️
So happy to see a new video from you!
I love your videos and all they include. Lots of interesting stuff.
Everything you do with the horses has a purpose. Thank you 😊
Lovely owner and trainers
I recently started watching your videos and I have to say they are fascinating! I know nothing about horses but for some reason I started watching trainer videos. I came upon your videos with you and your lovely wife and daughter and have been hooked ever since. The things you do are amazing. You are on a whole different level with the horses. I think you truly know what's in their souls and vice versa. I just wanted to say it's a pleasure and a learning experience all in one.. I wish people treated each other the way you treat horses. Bless you and your family.
I agree. I catch myself regular. Then I get myself in check.
I couldn't count how many time she said "amazing". This video proves how quickly it can be done. OK, to start with. It drives me to see people chasing their horse around with a mounting block. It doesn't need to be. I take it a step further with my own. Not much more than what you see in this vid, but I throw it down anywhere I want and stand on it and the horse comes to me. It's not magic. It just take a little time and a handful of mental tools.
Aww I love herbie ❤ such a beautiful boy x I really enjoyed this thanks Tanya and of course you Steve I love watching how patient you are 😁🙌
I just found out that you lost your mother. I want to extend my heart felt condolences to you and yours! Annie from Alaska
Love your videos they are very informative, altho it would be really helpful is if the person shooting the videos would turn the camera so that there is more of a full screen shot rather then the black on both sides making it very narrow just a suggestion.
I am so interested each time what new I am gong to learn. It is very informative and the horses take very well in the end to what you teach. It’s so important for the owner to take the knowledge of your teaching and practice it.
We call O s**t straps - buckling straps. BEAUTIFUL horse. Thanks for videos.
The best halter for a horse is it’s mind. I learned a lot about joining up and the 3 main characteristics of a horse from John Lyons book Lyons on Horses. I learned about looking at and moving feet from your videos. Sadly don’t work with horses anymore but will always seek knowledge on my first love a pony named Butterscotch. Half Welsh half Shetland dappled Palomino. My parents told me if I could ride her I could have her. She was nasty but came home with us. The back that built America.
I can’t have horses anymore and I so love your videos. I wish I had your knowledge when I was young and working with them. It would of been so much easier. Thank you from Virginia Beach. How is Mickey?
Great video, really miss the UK 🇬🇧
Another great video and Thanks for changing to a wide view .. much more pleasing to watch. Thank You
Wow this was magical. Love it!
Hi Steve. I love your videos and your videos help me a lot, exactly this one video.I struggled a lot with my Throughbred with standing still at the mounting block. And it came on a point that she once dragged me white her in the rading arena. And after this video for the 1st time she stands still when I Wanted to mount.🤯🤩 Thank you so much.
😊💗It is such a gift, to watch these videos💗Quality and grace, quality and grace💗🐎😊This goes way beyond horsemanship😊💗🐎Thank you💗
I use to be an exercise rider for race horses and I guess I just learned how to mount while the horse is moving ... NOT A BIG DEAL FOR ME... ♥️ I’m really enjoying your videos and need to do a marathon soon... thank you

Stephanie, agree, just GET ON!
I was especially impressed with this video. This horse had it ingrained in his head to just slightly move to cause his rider the inability to mount. I also like the fact that Steve seems to promote rubes rather than pats. Horses feel everything! Most people seem to think think horses don't feel as much as they do. They're very sensitive!
Thank you so much for sharing your great horsemanship. Also for the "follow along transcript"! It is so much better than on screen captions! Your common sense methods are applicable to many situations - for interacting with horses AND people! It has been a long time since I have been in the saddle but I am still enjoying all you show us here on KZread. Horses are amazing beings and so many times people forget or just don't know that there IS an effective way to communicate with horses. Like you said, they are born with a brain that works just like an older horse and all it needs is the knowledge to know what you want. They need a leader they can trust and when they trust you to lead- you have the best that they can offer! Great channel - many thanks!
Steve, in the beginning, one of the funniest mounting videos I've seen. But surely not for Julie. It's a good reminder that problems with horses don't always come with drama. . That perfectly wonderful horses can have small learned problems which can ultimately wreck our confidence. Your approach with Herby so beautifully merged with who he is and what he needed. No raised frustration, voices, or forcing. But an even more aware owner, a change of routine and Herbie finding his place of comfort. A wonderful horse gets even better, and a happy , safer Julie. What more could you ask for? Well done!
Love your work!!
So clear! Many people might skip this one thinking their horse stands at the block, but every horse can be better. Nice advice on trying to find a trainer at the end. Perhaps you should think of doing trainer symposiums?? Even if you don’t want to go so far as certifying trainers in the “Steve Young Approach”, no doubt you’d help them develop or improve their skills. I just wish I could attend!
What a beautiful animal.
Love your channel. 🥰
We call them holy crap straps. What a beautiful horse 🐴. The indent in the neck is called a Prophets thumb which is supposed mean it’s a blessed horse
Every animal I have taken in has almost always chosen me❤❤❤❤
Another terrific video. So helpful. Much appreciated.
Brilliant! well done Steve.
Need to get some microphones. 🥰
Irish horse superb💚💚💚
My ancestors are from Wales and have been horse people. Hope to visit wales soon.
You two are precious funny!!!!
Great video 👍
Only found your channel recently and find your skills amazing.. I’m not a horse owner but our family has pedigree in Horse Racing with a Champion Jockey who won the Cheltenham Gold Cup on Golden Miller. Have such respect for these wonderful animals…. Then to see you where in Ashtead & then Epsom…. Wow! My childhood area… Will have me talking about your channel to friends & family for days!!! 👍🏼
Hello Steve,. It's a very light touch you've got there.
You two just crack me up.
Love this. Really helps put your perspective in check. No problem, want to move, let's work. Am going to use this for my students for dog classes. I don't have a horse or any desire to get one, but absolutely love your videos - so calming, you always keep your head, never loose your temper, it's not personal, look at the feet, not their face to get them to do what you want and love having them make it their idea. Oh, don't want to stop, no worries, let's move then - lol! Awesome! TY so much!

IDK if it will be as sure fire for the doggies, a lot of them love their 'work' too much so it might be taken as a reward instead of a punishment. For the puppers, you have to figure out something that dog does not like that much. Or sometimes just release them to play the second they do what you want. Cats are similar. I trained my cat to not squirm in my hands by not putting him down until he relaxed but then lowering him towards the ground every time he relaxed. If he is 2 inches from the ground and then starts to squirm, even then I freeze, he is not even allowed to squirm for the last 2 inches. Cats learn super fast, it was only a few times of that until he learned hold still. He is very good about being held now but once in a blue moon, he tests me again and I do the same thing, because that's how cats roll and that's how I roll. He has to check and see if I am still paying attention sometimes. But when you have an animal, it's important they will do important safety actions like allow you to detain them even if they don't feel like it right then.
Great teaching video
Herbie the love bug😍
Good morning Steve.
If the ride can’t control the stop on the ground they will not control the stop on the horse! Very dangerous! I am talking a real stop not just a slow moment!
01:13:03 Regarding finding a good horse trainer: 1) search your locality for who is available. 2) ask them for a list of the las five people they’ve trained horses for. 3) message or call those people to find out how their training went with that person. 4) if the person isn’t willing to give that list, then move on to the next possibility.
What a lovely horse. He definitely thought he knew best for a while though huh. Made me smile & I love the way you always know what to do when. Many thanks for sharing & thanks to Tanya for the camera work. xxx
Can you do another video about the bit in the mouth part, I don't fully understand the stopping part and then when you are in the stable and talking about taking off the tack (both parts I didnt fully understand). Thank you for all your amazing videos.
I have had good success in quelling the stepping horse during mounting by a) saying WhOA sharply; then b) sharp rein in correction then c) pretending to mount but stopping if they step out...and i then CONTINUE to correct with all 3 steps in order CONSTANTLY UNTIL THEY decide to STOP stepping out/away. they tire of the pretend mount/reins tightening scenario pretty quickly. I DONT fully mount the horse UNTIL HE decides hes had enough of the 3 step process; THEN ONCE he stops, i mount, pet, then we are on our way. works pretty well...
Thanks for great video. Owner is not too bad. Why wouldn't she want to associate the block for getting off? Someday her body won't be able to jump off and land on the ground. Protect your ankles, etc. Super smart horse. So happy Steve helped her get better at riding. Whew.
I dont know how this man got in my suggestions, cause I'm not a horse person, but my goodness, hes quite knowledgeable about the horse business. How did he get so good at it is what I'd like to know
thank you i have a stallion that does the same thing ( not trained by me ) ,,,but a mare ( who i trained ) who will stand next to any old stump in the bush training is every thing
Your last point about finding a good trainer is true you can literally pop onto fb and find a suitable horsey page mention a trainer and people will straight up answer about how good or bad they are.
Herbie's ears tell us exactly how much he understands. The 'Happier' the spot is for Herbie, the higher his ears sit until they are 'up' and 'forward'. Laughing my head off!
I had a horse with just this problem, although she walked forward instead of back. I didn't think I would cure her of it, as we often had battles of will over a number of other things too and she would up her power if I upped mine, so we had to start again. In the end, I left her tied to the wall and opened the catch of the chain once on her. That worked well enough...
Mine does the exact same thing at the mounting block!
Herbie the love bug Disney movies. There were a few Herbie movies.
Had you thought about getting a wireless remote microphone for your phone or camera to help cut down on wind noise and cut down on Steve having talk loud enough for the camera to pick up his voice? Great videos, by the way!
HP sauce on the table! Yum!
I would love to know what brand/style of dressage saddle the owner has on, I really like that saddle!
I like your video that want you still that is want my horse stand still win I get on her and she is good and I like your video that you do with the horse it will help me with my horse Nannette
Steve I love your videos. I hate horse racing, I think it’s cruel. What’s your opinion?
Such brilliant training techniques but I just wanted to say, please be careful not to ‘cancel out’ all communication from the horse unless you are absolutely certain that any reluctance isn’t due to a medical or tack problem. SO many horses have badly fitted saddles and the only way they could let you know is by moving at the mounting block. I love this channel but think it’s so important to also consider other possible reasons for a horse to not want you on their back!

Reggarding the carrot stretch neck flexing exercise - my mare starts to move her whole body round (as in away from me) when I try this rather than keeping still and just flexing the neck, any tips to keep her still and just flex the neck please?
I've noticed it's hard to hear what he's saying most of the time, be it wind or too far distance. I'd suggest that you wear a mic, it would make viewing your videos so much better instead of straining to hear you. And your accent is thick at times too but theres no helping that, lol. Watching from Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Another thing, my horse moves once I'm on without me asking - unrequested forward motion once mounted - she's an ex racer. What is the best thing to do in this scenario?
