I am so pleased to read that you enjoy the videos and the book. The next one is almost done. I love New York, years ago when I first visited I was so surprised how many horses I saw. Also all I ever heard was that New Yorkers are rude, not so, everyone I met was very kind. Thanks for your comment and your support.

With all due respect sir, you are NUTS!! I would never get on a colt like that! Scared me just watching! More power to ya! You are brave!

Hey I was thinking of a different video. That colt got four or five days of that and then we went for a big ride outside.

I had a red dun gelding that would react EXACTLY like this! He’d fall asleep walking in circles to the left and bolt every time he’d spot me in his right eye and he could be tough to get off of too. I sold him to a friend that was much better at fixing the problem than me and he’s done amazing with him just doing a lot of off side work.

Jamie good for you doing right by the horse and not letting your ego get in the way. Many horse people either keep trying what's not working and make an outlaw or pass them on under the radar. I don't care how good a trainer or rider is, stay with it long enough and you'll get that horse that's not for you for whatever reason.

I hiss at them to back up and smooch them forward. Nothing wrong with vocals as long as you keep it real clear consistent and simple.

wish we could hear all the conversation,vids with talking like that is awsome.

Yep, couple of beers can get rid of the anxiety before you get on, no worries.

I'm a lazy trainer so well before I'm ready to mount a colt for the first time I want him accustomed to seeing humans above him. To that end I have an elevated platform beside my round pen with a couple of old lawn chairs where visitors sit & watch. That helps but the biggest thing I do is to pony them a lot. I do it so often that whenever I'm not leading a second horse people question why. I even work them in the round pen from the back of another horse. In short, I want them to know people being up high isn't a big deal & that I can control them from up there just as much as I can control them from the ground. I think it saves me a lot of work down the line & it lets me expose them to a lot of stuff they might not otherwise see for years. All with a broke horse right there telling them that none of it is a great big hairy deal. BTW it's hard to tell just watching a video but this colt strikes me as either being really insecure or having a bit of a short circuit in his wiring. How did he turn out?

I do and have taken some of the same steps in my career. I likening things off another horse, gets that other horses that much broker. This colt was a project of a friend and seemed a little off to me. In the end we had a few rides outside on the colt and enough info for the owners to go on that he went home. All said she had about 60 rides on him and we drug a few calves to the branding fire with him

@@HorsemanshipAsAnArt I'm sorry he didn't work out better, but he might come around for his owners given time. It's amazing what a bit of maturity will do for some horses but there's not much you can do when you don't have the luxury of turning one like that out to let it grow up a bit. Customers want what customers want when they want it.

Love those Peppys! I've had really good luck with them throughout my life, but they are usually smart and quick and take care of themselves. My granddaddy always said the horse that has no regard for self preservation isn't one you want to ride. He will always hurt himself to get away from things he doesn't like and if you're riding that you get hurt too. The horse that takes care of himself is always safer and a better bet for the rider.

I had a Little Peppy bred gelding I got on the first time, and he never bucked bad or anything, but he just never stopped his feet for the better part of 2 hours. I thought I'd die of thirst before I finally had the opportunity to get back to earth. I'm not smart enough to know what clinician you're talking about who doesn't care for clucking to a horse. Seems like a petty thing to worry about. It is just a way to ask them to move something, somewhere. Also smooch at them to lope. Just amuses me the stuff some folks find important.
