I nearly spit out my drink when you said....he's 17. LOL.

Retired hunter/jumper horse show trainer/coach here. Really appreciate your videos of colt starting and training, and philosophy. When I coached, as a last resort I sent impossible horses off to the Williston cowboy to be "bronced" etc. I wasn't allowed to visit, called to come get the horse and had a short window to sell it. This video especially touched me as I have Trigeminal Neuralgia, right side of face and head. Had two surgeries similar to Patch leaving me with a likewise outcome. They call TN the suicide disease because it's so painful. Your little cow horse is lucky to have you. Gabapentin, exercise outdoors and diet helps me through barometric changes. Wish you and your videos were around when I was a trainer. My horses would have been much better off. Maybe I would be too. Been watching since you started. Thanks again for the videos. Please keep making them. Chrystal

I love that I can learn a whole new subject in just a few minutes of listening. Nerves, color changes in the womb, Lucky is fat enough, etc. We had an Arabian who was an escape artist in a different way. We couldn't keep him in a corral. He just leapt over the fence without effort. Tried adding another rail. No go. Eventually he just wandered the yard, poking his nose into whatever you were doing. Once he tried going through an open door into the house and up into the kitchen. We had a hell of job backing him out! Some horses are just chock full of personality. Looks like Lucky is one of them!

I so appreciate that you pursued the surgery with the horse with the nerve damage and gave him a chance. I have a “wobbler” that I took a chance on 5 years ago-had his neck fused at C4/C5 because of spinal cord pinching and he is fully recovered, fully functional, we do a little bit of everything together and have so much fun! He’s 11 this year and I’m so glad I took a chance on him.

I had an escape artist in the 80s. I had to use clips on lead ropes and gates. Kawliga could open gates and untie any rope.

My does that also. Plus he watches you unlock gates, with snaps, chains, slide latches..so I trained him to ground tie..problem solved..
