He is a kind horse. His eyes show nothing but wanting to please his alpha.

He may only have 60 or 70 rides on him but "how" you rode him for those rides has already put a lot of quality in him. He is looking really good. I have seen horses with 90 rides on them that didn't look that good. Especially that loped circle toward the end of the video where you had him on super light contact (it looked like), yet he was still in frame/collection. It looked like you might have been able to go full loose rein and he would still have held himself in frame at the lope. He side passed to that gate very nicely as well. Especially since he is only 3 years old.

Thanks @AndyTheCornbread always appreciate your thoughts on the channel.

I totally agree with your statement that you don’t create a good horse out of nothing. Each horse already has a goodness in him. A good horseman knows how to pull that out of him. Lots of patience and training.

I have 2 Hancock horses, they are awesome horses, they really come on as a 5 yr old, smart, tough and kind. They like to have a job, as any horse does.

Love watching videos like this…from American western riders…while sitting here in Germany. Seriously tho, I love your riding style it’s so harmonic. Pretty horse as well.

I was told you can’t ride pretty and or papers. There are some pretty good grade horses out there that are awesome and get the job done.

Thanks for this video! Trained some good huntin dogs and just getting into horses. It’s interesting to watch people train horses and to see the differences and parallels in the animals and how to handle them.

First time seeing one of your videos. Beautiful camera work! Got a really unique perspective on everything you did while riding; most videos shoot from top-down on the arena, sometimes it's hard to catch all the small cues, especially during cantering. Camera man had to be dizzy!! Applaud to you both, best of luck with that go-getter colt!

Never too late to start riding. Don’t let your dream slip by you, for life is too short. Go to a good instructor in your area and start taking lessons in the arena on a well trained horse to gain your confidence and your independent seat. It will do wonders for your soul.

Very good walk Long strikes and forward motion which is rare fore Quarter horses 😊

This Young Horse has a lot of potential and the old saying goes registered papers and bloodlines are wonderful but you don't ride papers . But a good horse with some decent ability can be developed and built up with some miles if it has a proper attitude and willingness to work and listen.

Just found your channel and find myself growing as an aspiring young horse trainer

Way to go! Keeping going!

He's a really pretty colt! I have an American Curly x Waler x TBred mare, she cost me $800 and has been a lot of work, but she's coming real good now! She always has had a "go button" (Thoroughbred Genetics) and used to be really spooky to boot, with a lot of desensitization and riding, she's not as spooky as she was and after walking her two miles every single workday for a whole month, she's fine to walk now. She still loves to trot, still has that "go button" but now I'm not fighting her when all I want to do is walk! We've been doing walking and trotting for about 5 or 6 weeks now (weather interfered with some scheduled training days) and so in a few days, I'm going to walk her a mile, trot two miles, then ask for a canter and just see what she does... Yep, I know what she'll do. She's been telling me she wants to go but has been respectful enough to stay in a trot anyway. That's what I'm looking for and I can just sense it, she's so ready, and so am I!

Cowboys are the current evolution of the Spanish military troop called Dragon de Cuera, they used to patrol the border of the Spanish territories in North America from de XVI to the XVIII century, Chilenan and Argentinian Gauchos and Mexican vaqueros are also part of it.

Happy to help! A few follow-up questions: 1. How old is your horse? 2. Mare or Gelding? 3. What kind of rig setup are you using? (Ie. What kind of bit, reins, saddle pad, cinch, saddle)? And do you know what kind of setup the previous owner was running? 4. What is his diet like right now? Alfalfa or grass? Are you graining him? Might be easier If you want to send pictures/video send to: Stonefieldranchproductions@gmail.com

I have to say when I clicked on this video I expected to see more rodeo "cowboy" horse abuse. But here you were, using a mild bit, without any flashy spurs, giving the horse clear directions and waiting for his response. Great work! He's a lucky one.

My thoughts are: he needs a little more engagement when striking-off at the lope. When this happens for you, it should be accompanied with softness that will change his entire perspective on forward movement. `Really nice job getting him to ths point in his training..

Thanks, Matt. We appreciate your time on our channel.

He seems to do better at faster gaits with holding himself upright, I've heard that's common with younger horses. Do you think he's breaking at the poll a little when you collect him due to him being younger and lacking in proper strength to carry himself collected yet?

Does he have any thoroughbred in him ? He has a nice stride

Let me know when you ready to sale him

Where in Utah is Stone Field Ranch?

I respect the opinion, but disagree. Groundwork is important but only takes you so far. This horse is a perfect gentleman at a walk and trot but panicking every time I pushed him into a lope and went into a runaway. He’s in a twisted wire because he tried running himself through a barbed wire fence when he had a regular O-Ring Snaffle. Temporary discomfort is always a better alternative than permanent injury. Every morning I run a mile in a 20 pound vest and soak in 36 degree water for 5-7 minutes. It’s uncomfortable, but I’m better for it. Reaching our potential lies on the other side of discomfort. Undisciplined horses and people never reach their potential.

For every 1000 you save equals 90days more training, time , training equal more money?!!

You’re not wrong. But with the prices of good horses right now many of us rely on being DIYers.

I wonder 7:13 7:13 at 70 rides can you drag calves to the fire on the horse. Does it neck rein yet for you don't have to ride it with 2 hands and actually get something done on the horse. Hancocks may have had a time and place but today there's not near enough cowboys or miles for them. 4500 for that horse was a steal for whoever sold that.horse.to you lol. No offense of course lol

Every horse has their place, Brother. Just like people, everyone can make a contribution and we increase their likelihood of success with education. Takes some of them longer than others and sometimes the ones that take a little longer become the best ones. Pushing a horse to neck rein and rope as fast as possible isn’t my first goal. I want him correct. That’s why I ride colts in snaffle bits for the first two years. He’ll learn to neck rein when he’s ready. I’m focused on picking up shoulders, collection, directing the feet, and building their confidence. Others may have different goals. Also, it’s winter. We don’t brand calves in the winter. He’ll sort some this winter and brand this spring.

3yrs old? A 16 stone man thumping on his back at 3yrs old? That kind of treatment leads to broken down 7-8yr olds. The horse (any horse) tries bc he has no alternative
