This was the funniest video yet, watching the horses faces as they got their wormer! So in love with Steve, until he squirt the wormer in the mouth, then its all horrible! LOL so hilarious. Thanks for the wonderful video Steve & Tania! Love you guys! Glad you surviived your wormer accident too!

So sorry you had to go through all of that. As an RN, I’m shocked they didn’t ask you exactly what your days leading up to that looked like. What had you been doing? Ingesting? Etc. Perhaps they did and you just didn’t remember or relay the water you drank. Some times people leave out the details that help to put the puzzle pieces together. So happy it all worked out!❤️

I am wondering if Tanya and Steve did tell them the events and routine over the week before turning yellow… helping with sleuthing out the cause and therefore the possible cures. Sometimes the medical people have been told but don’t click the connections quickly. My doctor did when I got double cellulitis of the ears.

Seriously, I don't think there are any horse meds that are toxic to humans at low doses luckily. Better of just getting a few drops of that vs the stank water apparently.

I put my horses wormer right in his food and he gobbles it up no problem. 😊. Your horses are beautiful.

The look on his face at 12:53. Bless him!! And the throwing his carrot around. Poor Chevy!

I have never even heard of hepatitis E. A, B and C, sure, but not E. As I am watching this, I am eating snacks out of a bowl, with my fingers after having been out for a trail ride in the snow. Very glad to hear this story...going to wash my hands now! 😊

Luckily probably not that easy to get unless you gargle with it or we'd all have it by now LOL!

As alway, great info. Thanks. The only thing I would add would be a warning that horse wormer will kill dogs. Keeping your prepared wormer higher where dogs can't reach it would be reccommended. We are always learning (hopefully not the hard way on this one).

Great video as always. Just a thought for those new to your channel or to horses, you mentioned about the weight of the horse for the right amount of wormer, there may be those that are not sure how to weigh a horse. Maybe just a quick video on how to weigh your horse, may be beneficial to ensure those that might require this information. Thank you Steve and Tanya. Thank goodness you made a speedy recovery. Hope you've not had any health issues from this .

OMG how scary... thank God you recovered from that life threatening hepatitis. Great strategy for worming horses! The faces your horses made were hilarious. So good you mentioned the hand feeding again. This knowledge is so important. A friend of mine got bitten in the belly by his horse last week. He always hand feeds him carrots and there was one left in his pocket that day. He walked by his horse who started following him right away, knowing about the carrot. My friend started to walk faster and his horse sped up too, feeling entitled to get that carrot. The horse got impatient, lined up next to him, turned his head around and but him hard. I daw him a few days later and he showed me the bruise. I will forward this video to him so he understands that he really should stop the hand feeding

A horse that has never been hand fed must be wonderful to have! My friend has around 10 horses, and 1 that she has had for a year or so is getting really bratty! He's not pushy yet, but he is constantly trying for treats! I can't say anything because I've never had a horse of my own, but I wish I could. I feel like I do know what's best in this case, but there are likely 100 reasons why I don't! I'm just glad Steve thinks as I do. If I were to win a lottery, there would never be hand feeding. But I'll also never tell my much more experienced friend what to do or not do. I do ask her questions though, to stimulate discussions, and I learn a lot from her.

@@cattymajiv it's always a good strategy to ask questions instead of telling someone what to do / not to do. It helps people understand and think about it and if a change for a better option is "their own idea", they can be more likely to go for it. Meanwhile, my friend watched Steve's video and he liked it a lot and understands why his horse bit him. I am pretty sure that he won't keep on hand feeding his horse 😊

Chevy has the most beautiful long eyelashes 😍 who praise God that you are okay and you overcame that horrible poisoning of your liver 😮 God has blessed you and your sweet family!! Tanya is really such an advocate for you by this demanding that some help comes to you when you were so ill. Love ya Tanya for your big heart🌟

Scary story about the water 😨 I’ve ended up with wormer in my mouth in the past tho😂probably do us good

Interesting to read their reactions to the worming: Chevy seemed shocked and Jimmy insulted. Sweet sensitive horses.

You are so right about the hand feeding. This video is so informative. Thank you for all you do for horses and those of us who are always learning.

just about to watch this vid, so I've not yet seen your technique. What I do now, is, lie my hand and wormer flat on their cheek with wormer at mouth ready to tilt in. I wait until they relax and stop moving etc, then slip it in. Works best for me now. Ok, to the vid!!

Always producing brilliant VLOGs on working with horses. I think this was an important VLOG, if for nothing else the conversation on hand feeding. I see so many people who think nothing of it … but like you’ve always intimated … one needs to think like a horse to understand the best way to teach and handle a horse. It’s just common sense and avoids the potential of problems down the road. I also liked the fact you pointed out what you feel is the best time to commence backing and riding. So many start when they’re young (two) and don’t give the horse sufficient time to mature. Like so many things, whether it be hand feeding or riding at a young age … just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Although I wasn’t taught not to feed a horse by hand … my Mom did teach me that four is age to commence riding and not before. Actually there was a horse that I absolutely fell in love with at 15, on a small parcel of land, around the corner from where we lived. My Mom wouldn’t consider buying her only because the woman backed her at two yrs of age … plus she was a heavy women. I was heart-broken to say the least. I think if I had gotten that horse (had she not been backed her), my life may have gone a much different course than it did. Anyhow … as always you have something worthwhile to say and teach to all … experienced or not! But I must admit, some of my favourite parts of the VLOGs are when you and Tanya are conversing back and forth! 😂 You demonstrate having a wonderful relationship … one that appreciates and respects the other person! Where’s Anita? Has she been bred yet? Does she come back to your place when she is in foal, or is she staying elsewhere? Oh my life … did you say you contracted Hep C? That’s shocking … and tell me there’s not a God who has a plan for us all! Do you know how fatal that disease can be? It sounds like from what you said your body recovered on its own! That’s amazing the fact you didn’t die, let alone your body healed itself! If you ever have concerns and/or question what you’ve done with your life … well don’t because I truly think you meant to help people, as you have over the years. So many lives have been touched (both two and four-legged) for the better … and in some cases have they’ve been given a new lease on life … all due to the gifts you share! Thank you so much … to both of you. You make a great team!!! God bless! Looking forward, as always, to the next VLOG. Happy Trails! 🙌🙏❤️🐎🍏🐴🥕💕🍎🇨🇦

Chevy lives to photobomb the videos. He is a very expressive horse.

The faces they make after you worm them is too funny. Thanks to you both for sharing.

I have also had good success with practicing by just putting fingers in my horse' s mouth so he gets used to the feel. I did it over a few days until he was super chill and then I did the worming. Previously, he would really pop his head and get very anxious.I also distract him right away after he gets the wormer so that he has less time to have a bad association with the taste of the medicine. I can do it now, no halter, just a hand on his nose.

Thank you Steve and Tanya, this is going to help me with worming my horse soo much. He HATES wormer. He raises his head to the sky and refuses as soon as he sees the syringe. I'm gonna get him used to the syringe and molasses for a while before using his wormer. again. Brilliant!! Thanks again from Karter and I. ❤

That's really important information. Your worming protocol is 100%, but informing us, your viewers, about the source of hep C is invaluable! Thank you for sharing

That story about the jaundice was super scary! I’m really glad it turned out ok. To the worming….I belly laughed at Chevys response. Way too funny. One of the things I learn from all your videos is to never waste anything…(ie always use the behaviors you teach them..in every day life). As always thank you

I couldn't agree more with you re clicker training. Much prefere the methods of the western horseman ( not all the methods though!) I honestly believe the best horse people never get enough credit. That's probably what makes them so much better though!

You taught me something new, Steve! Thank you! That book, did you say the name is Horsemanship Through Feel?

Sounds like such an ordeal you went through Steve, so glad you're ok! Love how responsive Jimmy is with his flex 😊 will be great to see how he does being ridden in the future

Another opportunity to see your beautiful horses and even your little dog too, thank you Steve and Tanya.❤

Love your videos…and i dont even have a horse! But your relationships with Tanya …..and the horses you work with,show what kind of man you are! Thanks you two…

This opened my eyes to hand feeding! Totally get it now! You have a strong body Steve- thank God! You’re a wonderful person. I’ll sure be more careful around stagnant water now!!!

That’s called a miracle Steve. You’ve been blessed by a gift from God. Perhaps a thank you and acknowledgement to the God of Creation. Just a thought. 🙏

Chevy has personality plus such a good character. Thank you for this video I never had thought of hand feeding like this great info. Love and light to you and yours 🌟

Oh Steve, we nearly didn’t have you. And Tanya, how damn scary. Whooo. Great you recovered. Thanks for that. All logic. Man, Jimmy is going to be huge. The two Palos are so good. Lovely to see you and hear from both of you, as always.

Wonderful teaching video. Hard lesson learned with the stagnant water. Makes one appreciate the benefits of a civilized life. Chevy is growing on me. Hope he forgives you for tricking him.

WOW! That had to be horrific! But Worm Free! Right? Sorry Bad Joke. So glad You are still with Us!❤

Again, really wish I had known you back when I was doing horsey stuff! We're the same age, btw. It would have made such a difference with my 16.3 hand guy!! Also, so glad the doctors were able to figure out what your medical issue was and I have to say, I totally agree with Tanya! If parents had any idea that this was a risk I'm sure they would rethink what they are assuming is a harmless, cute video opportunity!

The horses reaction sent me into a fit of laughter. Of course, what you experienced, Steve I don't think could be more nightmarish. Thank you for sharing. ❤

I still wish Steve would do a video where he tell what you should do to horses and how often you do it, like worming also cleaning their teeth and cleaning the sheath of a male horse, my brother-in-law has had his for probably 20 years and never cleaned it and I seen on KZread that 1 horse had cancer in his sheath but thankfully the owner caught it early cause she has the vet clean the sheath, people need to know male horses need their sheaths cleaned but I don't know how often, Steve would know, so he needs to put together a video on what things should be done to a horse and when and how often and how many times a year Please ask Steve to do one so New horse owners know.

My draft took the first dewormer but she spat out the second and we both had it all over us. So the vet said I could buy dewormer pellets that they take every day. They happily eat those with their pellets.

Yep. Learnt something from this vid: Keep your mouth shut when worming your horses!

Thanks for video info. Xx also you have to be careful with dogs eating it as well as its very poisonous to them too . Also do you worm count before hand xx

It is not WHAT you do, but HOW you do it. I have been hand feeding treats for years and it has never been or created a problem. I have rules. The treat comes to the horse. The horse does NOT come to the treat. A horse is never allowed to "take" anything from me. I may give them something if I feel it is appropriate. Usually that have to do something to earn it, but the bottom line is I am in control of the treats and decide if they get one. That said, most horsemen will just say don't do it instead of trying to explain the right way to do it. BTW, the QH does not mature earlier. They just look like it because the QH has so much muscle. (I had a couple) but 4 isn't too young to start him. They are still not fully matured until about 6 like most horses.

Hi Steve and Tanya. So interesting and terrifying (your hand in the horses mouth.) Worming 4 or 5 times? How often does a horse need to be wormed? Know nothing about horses, not an owner, but your videos absolutely captivate me. I appreciate you sharing your scary story about being ill and hospitalized, with Tanya fighting for you, or being a very strong advocate for you. You both give me encouraging hope that I will conquer my own health issues. Thank you again for sharing your life together and your expertise with these amazing, incredible creatures. Tanya, we share the same birthday! I love you and your family. Warm regards, Cynthia

Oh yeah - by the way, putting apple sauce in the pre-treatment syringes can be quick, easy & effective …..

Hi, what about Nita do you do her or not as she is pregnant?

Do you give the wormer on an empty stomach, in the morning before feeding? I might have missed hearing it if you had mentioned it. Thanks!

How is Nita? Can we have an update on her? She is quite lovely 😊

What about Mr Darcy, did you worm him? How did that go? So sorry about your health issues but an important learning issue for us all. Thank you. xx

Just bought a pony I've known for years...she was brought up hand-fed carrots by the bagful. She has the 'making our idea her idea' thing, she loves being out and about. She's really responsive and rides and drives.. but... She threatens to bite, argues about the route and worst, she is not confident and does not listen when I'm telling her something is ok. So, she's useless to drive and not really safe to ride, which is a shame. Trained but not broken. Really frustrating is that the hand-feeder knows she's making a mistake but still does it I am improving things I think, but I need to be vigilant every time I go in the stable and it's defo not relaxing

He looks like he’s telling you off there for tricking him with the nasty stuff. 😂😂😂

I keep hearing you mention Mel and was wondering if you could explain who she is and what she does at the ranch?

If Chevy’s looks could kill !

Is Chevy the new performance horse?

I hand feed and give treats and think it’s a wonderful tool. I’ve handled and broken in my last handful of horses without incident. Until I got my new mare. Lordy if she thinks you are going to give her a treat she becomes over excited and won’t concentrate on what you’re asking. Never seen anything like it 😅. So I’m having to break I habit myself now of giving treats.

Hard to get any type of syringe in America at the pharmacy now, they act like you are a drug addict if you try to buy them LOL! In some states, it's legal for them to sell them but many won't in order to deter drug addicts from visiting their pharmacy.

Hand feeding treats seems OK when only one owner works with the horse. Problems can happen when a new rider/owner comes in.

Did she have her foal?

Keep the syringe in your pocket until you are in position and ready to administer it. They will notice it if you are just carrying it in full view.

In southeast Texas you worm every 2 months.
