It's so nice to see a young horse being brought along with a soft hand. His development is really impressive.

Your videos helped me gain confidence to adopt my ottb, he’s my BEST friend now THANK YOU

He's looking so much better! And I agree, turnout is an often overlooked, but very important factor for bringing on any horse. Is that a magnetic band he's wearing on his hind fetlock towards the start of the video?

DinnerOnTheFloor yep, they’re the Equstreamz bands

He looks really good. So calm and happy. Says a lot for the kindness of your training. PS can't believe how big Banksy is getting.

Percy looks great :) good quality hay is everything but here, it’s rare since our soils are so poor so no choice to supplement! Wish I had good grass all year long hehe

How do you address a SUPER reactive OTTB that just can't get out of their head?

@Milestone-Equestrian

taylorist make sure they’re getting enough turnout and then do a lot of ground work using positive reinforcement to introduce stuff they’re afraid of and help with building trust

Taylorist - my OTTB mare was like that - super reactive to the bit and my seat. So much so that she would completely tune out me and my seat, while she focused all her attention on the bit. I noted that when lunging with side reins, she would naturally bend and give herself slack on the inside contact. That translated to me keeping a steady rein length/contact with the bit, and again only using seat (and voice) to control her. That definitely made all the difference - once I stopped “chasing her head” and focused on tempo and forward she naturally reached for the bit and started working the correct muscles. Trail riding helped a lot as well to build muscle and strength our partnership. We usually used an English hackamore on trail, but quickly realized it’s potential under saddle. Now we ride mainly with the hackamore, and she’s now relaxed at all gaits and getting better the more she builds those muscles and stamina. Wish you all the best with your OTTB! Shelby has done a fabulous job showing how OTTBs need time to fill out, gain weight & muscle, socialize, and time to figure out how to move their bodies in their new discipline! Slow and steady is great with the young OTTBs...

You are so talented with bringing on horses and transforming them I love your channel 💕

clicking on videos moment of upload- the story of my life during quarantine😂

his change in temperament is amazing!

He is a very compact horse. His improvements are highly noticeable even to someone who doesn't have that much hands on experience with horses.

I loved this video! It's so wonderful to see the transformation that you (and your co-owner) are able to bring to these horses. Patience, practice, relaxation (I love how well you emphasize the importance of turn-out and horses just being together being horses is to each animals' happiness, development and overall outlook changes over time). You have clearly fine-tuned your approach and tools with the OTTB and you do it with such kindness and consistency; always having the best interest of each horse at the center of all that you do. It is wonderful to see how quickly you make progress with these guys. I hope it is as gratifying to you as it is to see unfold in your videos. I really love these progression videos you do with each horse you take on. Thank you.

As someone from New England, that Western Alfalfa looks like GOLD. We would sell our souls to be able to afford that type of hay out here, ha. Percy is looking great, Shelby.

I really like this kind of videos, helps me develop my "horse-eye" ! :D

Percy's training is coming along so nicely! He looks really good. Love his little chin marking! He is so cute. :)

You have a gift for developing these young horses beautifully.

His hind end is SO improved at the end, and it's especially noticeable at the canter! Much more balanced and collected. Great work!

I love Percy's transformation! He's done so much progress. Good job to both of you! :)

It's great to witness such an amazing transformation. Must feel very rewarding!

Your videos are always an educational experience without coming across, at all, as a tutorial. You have a real talent for sharing your vast knowledge of horse care,feeding, and training in such a mater of fact way that make all of your videos an educational event and a joy to watch.. ❤️

Shelby he has come a long way!!! He is looking so much better all around! Has to be a great feeling.... love watching the changes, the care and dedication you put into each of your horses! Thanks for sharing.. take care..

Your such a lovely rider!! Percys looking wonderful! Your constantly growing my love for thuroughbreds 🥺🥰🥰.

Wow! Percy is doing really well. Good job, sweet boy! And Shelby, you never cease to amaze me with your skills. I really appreciate how you train. Cheers!

Loved this video! Great attention to his nutritional needs and a great knowledge of his emotional and physical limitations. You've done wonders with him. His confidence is very noticeable.

He is so cute and with your good care he start to look really good will probably look amazing soon! Love your videos💛

I just want to say that I really enjoy your videos ! You are doing an amazing job !

He looks so good now! 🤩Youve done an amazing job so far💞

Very well done Shelby Dennis. Hope everyone there is ok. Wishing you, your family, your extended family and subscribers and their families continued good Health. Best Regards from Ontario, Canada, Jenn.

You are such a good trainer!!!!❤️ also his transformation is amazing💕

Omggg this is the video I have been looking for 🤍🤍

Percy had an impressive body change when you put him on the Body Support along with your corresponding good hay. What a difference for an OTTB! He canters beautifully now, left and right. He knows you love him and he tries to please you. Wonderful training vid! :-D

Yes yes yes big difference. Much better!! Great job. Wow he really looks so much more relaxed.

I love your videos! Your colt has grown so much!

Fellow Canadian here! Loved your video and your explanations!

I love your ottb videos so much!!

what a hunky man !! he looks so amazing

Great job with Percy!

Bodybuilder is great stuff. I used to work for a thoroughbred breeder and we would use it to add weight to the sale horses before we took them to the sales. You’re right that it doesn’t make them hot; I’ve never seen it do that to any horse, which was especially important when feeding some of our spicy yearlings, namely the colts. Plus, it makes their coats beautifully smooth and shiny. Any rice bran oil/rice bran emulsion is great stuff.

oh, such a difference :-) the body and especially the movement, great job :-)

Doing wonderful he’s nice to watch

His improvement is amazing! You have done really well with him, along with the other owner, and he looks great. Are you planning on jumping him when he is a bit older?

I just used the plank analogy the other day. I have never heard anyone say it that way before, that’s exactly what came to mind when I was explaining it...I also added that it takes time to build up holding it with a person on your back!

Love your vids and all the animals. 😊😊❤️❤️

Around 5:47 that canter transition was very interesting

Hey Selby he is really nice horse I can't wait to full out more too

Can u do a video on how you get them to use their back more and stretch out down and forward🙂 Also a video on side reins and what the do would be cool

Beautiful horses x

he's beautiful!!

Such an amazing improvement and he is such a handsome boy. Would love to see some lunging with him.😊❤️

It takes an OTTB awhile to figure out that all you want is walk, trot, canter, stand in the middle of the ring?? But when that switch gets flipped, they’re totally fine with it.

She is a good rider

The TB'S are fantastic if are schooled correctly

I found that linen oil, beet pulp, and alfafa helped a ton with fat and weight gain in the ottbs I looked after. I didn't know the supplement you mentioned, what are the main ingredients? (Of course the food I mentioned was fed along nice hay and grain.)

I love your work with your horses, and it's so inspirational and informative watching your videos. What is Percy's Jockey club name? And do you have any tips for working with a super hot and easily distracted Arab? She gets really in her head and lets her anxiety take over. She is turned out 24/7 and gets daily turn out with other horses too and gets minimal amounts of grain.

Hello shelby, I am thinking of buying a thouroughbred. She was raced a couple of times a few years ago but wasnt up to speed so was used as a hacker and bit of xc since. She is 6, nice natured and kids can ride her they said. But I wondered, would you think they could be more likely to bolt than other horses? Given their racing past?thanks

Night day difference 👍

If my horses are on a grass field do I need to give hay? I usually just feed hay cubes and complete grain soaked in the evening and the rest of the day they are on grass field that is fairly long and they are always grazing they all seem to have a good coat and not under weight other then my 2 year old but that's only a little ribs at serten angles that I am working on ( I do feed hay all winter, fall, and usually spring when there is little or no grass I live in Canada so there isnt always grass early in the year)

My horse likes to stick her nose in the dirt while bridleless, and pulling on the rope doesn’t help, suggestions?

@Kate-gd4oe

Blocktopia8 My horse used to do the same thing, this is what I did. Put the bridle and neck rope on. You can can tie your reins in a knot so that they don’t fall, however, keep them in reach of your hands. Try to mainly use the neck rope, but whenever your horse tries to stick her nose in the dirt, use your reins. When she stops sticking her face in the dirt with your reins, take them away but keep the actual bridle part on so that they thing you’re reins are still there. If she is still good with no reins. you can be completely bridle less! Hope this helps!! Note: Lounging might help. Also groundwork with the neck rope might help as well:)

I think your stirrups are too short. As they get lower it helps your center of gravity and you don’t post so high. You end up with more leg and better contact

Hey, My horse was a dressage horse, before I got him, but he was skinny and had no muscle and back problems.... He has now more weight and muscles and his back is fine,as is his paddle, but every time I ride him, he'll either stopp after 15 minutes or run without me able to control him. Any tips for me?🙈😞 Thanks (Sry for my bad english)

I'm no expert, but I'd say to try and find out why he either stops or runs uncontrolably. Are you sure all of the tack is fit? Is there anything that puts pressure that maybe he's okay with at first but then it gets too much... I dunno, something like that. If you can find out why you can go from there, trying to fix the problem. You could also see if someone or yourself can do some training with him, to make him stop doing that everytime. You could try different tack, like bits and saddle pads, and work on making the horse listen, and of course reward him when he's doing right. :)
