It is rare I get nervous for your safety Steve, but each time those legs kicked out inside that small trailer space, I did hold my breath a bit. How Tanya does it seeing you put yourself in some dangerous positions like that, I don't know. She must have to tell herself, you are doing what you love and helping so many horses that it would be worse if you didn't. God bless you both and your fantastic Charlotte.

Yep that one was extra feisty but luckily looks like it was more just scared and used to getting out of things by jumping around than it was actually planning to cause injury. The problem is you don't know in advance plus it could still hurt someone by mistake.

The stories people write in their own heads about animals versus what is happening right in front of them is just astonishing. People keep giving affection and releasing animals for bad behavior unwittingly. While more folks like this keep you in business, its amazing to see the ones that pick up horsemanship from you and go on to become fairly proficient and their horses continue to improve and that brings the most joy. So many horses get a better life when more people learn horsemanship and can help the horses get through difficult times and on to better times.

You're SO right!! Releasing after misbehavior creates a lot of dangerous horses!!

Gentle, skilled horsemanship won the day, great job Steve.

My husband was a trainer and farrier. He accepted two huge gorgeous quarter horses off of a racetrack for training. One black, one white. When each one was unloaded, they both immediate rared and started striking with their front feet. The owner said they didn’t want them back because they had hurt several people seriously. Training took much patience and time. To make a long story short, both ended up being the most wonderful and kind horses. After a year of me owning and riding the horse we decided he was ready to go to a new home. A potential buyer came by who had a small handicapped boy. He rolled to the black horse in his wheelchair, met the horse and immediately they emotionally connected. The horse moved around to the boy as if telling him to get on. The boy took the stirrup in his hands and pulled himself up to a standing position and he was helped on. After being led around for an hour, he was given the reins and the horse responded so sweetly. They bought the horse and the boy rode the horse in parades. It was magical.

Congrats! And it's also a pyschological healing for the horse... She's so relaxed at the end.😊

My God she’s gorgeous

Goodness Steve you must be totally knackered after some of these training sessions both physically and mentally. Also you must be pretty fit to do what you do. Hats off to you for your sheer dedication.

WOW! I’m glad you were there to help her over it.

This was a toughie Steve. And as usual your kind and quite amazing patience pays off. Incredible.

Bravo Steve and Tanya. Even though I know you always succeed, I held my breath watching this one. So relieved you managed to stay safe.

It really amazes me how much trouble and damage horses manage to do to themselves. But then again, getting locked in tiny closets is not something their wild ancestors had to deal with. ;-P

Steve, Tanya and Charlotte - wonderful as always ❤️🐴

Should she not wear a poll cap to protect her? If she had been wearing one she might not be so bad. Given her history I would have bought one.

Well done Steve.. that's a beautiful horse 🐴 you have a great talent as usual... love 💕 your videos...

Some horses wpuld prefer to not be challenged ....she remembers that she has to use her brain when steve is on the line. Haaa. Looking forward to the full show!! Thisll make my fairly stressy trailer horse look easy. He used to be almost as bad and i would get so frusterated. Then i learned how, stopped taking it personal and he changed his mind. Its truly amazing what they know about us.

Yeah our rescue had one that didn't like the halter at first because he knew he'd probably have to do something challenging. The solution was to have him do only fun things on some of the halter sessions like walking and getting a bowl of hay. Pretty soon he was ok with the halter, knowing there was a chance something fun could happen. Luckily he was also a food hog so he's easy to bribe with just about any kind of food in a bowl. ;-) However I do also think they have a kind of joy and peace every time they really conquer one of their phobias. THey come back super happy and even sometimes ask to go back out again.

They're generally a lot safer and better for the horses to be in. It takes a lot of effort, all the wobbling around in a trailer, these trailers require less of that

GOSH. WATCHING THIS, MUST ADMIT I GOT REALLY WORRIED FOR YOUR SAFETY - BUT ALL ENDED WELL, THANKS TO YOUR AMAZING HORSEMANSHIP, COURAGE AND KINDNESS. YET AGAIN STEVE CAME TO THE RESCUE. PLEASE STAY SAFE - ALWAYS.

I just about fainted from oxygen deficiency brought on by holding my breath. Talk about suspense. Alfred Hitchcock had nothing on this video.

Well Steve you really are amazing. All done with patience and quality. Wonderful outcome. Thank you for sharing 😊

Wow that was a real handful!Thanfully with your excellent horsemanship skills you were able to help Mara & her owner.♥️♥️🌻🌻🍻🍷

Wow this that made me remember how big and dangerous horses are😮Steve done amazing job with this horse who was not falling for his charm

I hope the pooh pooh critics out there watch this. No bullying. No anger. Just technique and experience. So pleased that both horse and you were accident free and calm at the end of the video. Well done Steve.

Gorgeous horse

I’m so fascinated at watching horses respond to you.

Whata beautiful horse ❤

That looked to be a lot of hard, steady work and very nice to see the progress.

That was a bit nerve wrecking at first😮.Amazing work as always Steve.❤🐎❤

Wow, can't wait to see this in full ❤❤❤

Oh boy. Looking forward to this one.

Great job steve once again but oh my what a beauty Mara is ❤

Nerve wracking but very gratifying to see mission accomplished and both intact.

She's a firecracker!

Wow. Congratulations on getting her into the trailer. What a handful she was

Beautiful mare!

She is such a friendly horse...only unsecure and anxious❤❤ The hard methods of this Horsewhisperer are not necessary at all! With more calm and concrete communication, this lovely horse would also learn all the wanted things!!!😢😢😢 A very bad show .....🙈🙈🙈

Lovely horse ❤ shes really beautiful 😍 great job Steve & Tan

Patients, determination and skill ! Well done Steve, this one wasn't the easiest that's for sure but alls well that ends well ! 🤠

Steve just wanted to tell you, this world we live in needs a million more people just like you in it. Your am amazing person and what you are doing to help animals regain their trust with people it's amazing that you are able to do that. I'm an animal lover and think it's disgusting what some "people " will do to animals, it makes me sick to think some one would hurt animals the way they do. So PLEASE keep up the amazing work that you are doing to help these poor animals live the abuse free life they deserve. Thank you very much for being the person that you are and I hope you get a billion time more good karma back. Thank you soo much. 😀😀

Definitely not the easiest one as you said … but you still managed to get a break through after a break down! Brilliant … looked like it was a difficult mare to contend with. She certainly had a good memory … how long was it since you had the first training session? Thanks for sharing! Happy Trails! 🙏🙌❤️🇨🇦✝️

What a beautiful horse. Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned but I always used to put poll guards on the headcollars of taller horses if they were a bit skittish in the box.

Another wonderful success🎉

I think this is an example of why you don't want your horse to be TOO smart. This mare seems to have figured out a lot of ways to evade and intimidate humans, and predict what's coming in a way that is detrimental to getting her to do anything humans want her to do. In the wild she'd be a lead mare helping her herd avoid danger and predators and she'd be amazing at it. As a domesticated horse, she's a lot of trouble lol

What a beautiful beast !

Beautiful horse. Very excellent work as usual Steve. She's one super strong horse.

Job well done👍

You are a brilliant horse trainer great skills..the talent you have is rare.. I wish I had the talent you have...😊

THANK YOU STEVE & Tanya!!! I remember Mara’s past video. Took her a while to relax her to load in the trailer last time, but of course Steve’s patience guidance got her into the trailer. It’s most unfortunate that she had such a harmful incident that set her back. Beings that she is that size and her regular trailer is small. Perhaps the owner should add the LICK, while walking her in & out to keep her concentration centered so she does not go nosying about upon enter/exit (?) One more trailer set back, I doubt that big mare will load and/or will get more dangerous. Benevolent blessings 🍀

I have a quarter pony that behaves mostly the same way, will load, then flies off. She must have had a bad experience in her past that the trailer freaks her out too.

I knew you had it, even I knew where is what was going he wasn't trying to kick you he was trying to kick the gate so you couldn't close it but you did it enough time and now he trusts you and he trusts the trailer again, I don't know if just anybody will be able to put him on a trailer but you sure can, great work😊

Poor girl. She doesn’t like that trailer ramp. She is a real beauty, that’s for certain.

Breakdown becomes breakthru!!!❤😊

That horse is way to fat for the first thing and needs way more work . But people in the UK are lucky to have Steve to help out .

I wish there was someone like you where I live in Denmark. I have a lovely horse, sweet and always trying his best. But He's terrified of cows and I don't know how to help him understand that they are not dangerous, without putting both of us in danger. (He bolts instead of taking my riding cues when he gets spooked). You are exceptional in your work with horses, always love to tune in and see what you do.

Steve has a video of working the horse backwards through a herd of goats that terrified the horse. Its only a short clip,not a training video.❤

They used to make helmets for horses, that would protect them when and if they threw there heads. It might be something you could look into to keep her from hurting her head again 😊 God bless

Goodmorning. Good work! Det kan bli lite bättre än det är en bra bild på mig när det gäller att sitta säkerhetsklassifierad med människors konstiga lån..Xo njuter när jag far illa..I am going for Caring loving.. speechless. Lol lol JN

Hooray she was just tricking ya

I see a mare who is very intelligent and likes to get her way. Such a magnificent animal. She reminds me of my current dog. A loving little fuzzball who does like to boss everyone around, wants what she wants, and is very dramatic. Though, sweet as can be … until she gets mad LoL

My judgement, a good natured horse, just stressed by a bad memory. Wanting to please but saying you'll have to prove to me it's okay. The little rears before going up is her saying I want to do it for you but help me trust it all the way. Those little rears say it all. A nice animal.

What a gorgeous horse tho

Her head is close to the roof of the trailer and she needs a poll protector when she travels. Hurting her head can be very dangerous for her. It also makes her more worried and even more likely to hurt herself by throwing her head. The poll protectors do help a lot.

The horse isn't dangerous, humans are. She just wants to live her life without being a slave.

Pobrecito y tambien se estresan estando enserrados eyos les gusta andar libres en el campo😢😢

Poll Guards can save a lot of pain - but they don't seem to be used much outside of racing yards &c.

Oh my word!

We had this behaviour in one of our horses and it turned out he had a brain tumour. He also bashed his head open.

stay safe

She's a BIG mare! She needs to have a shipping poll protector in any trailer. Just her normal head position is to close to the trailer roof.

While they holding a whip in their hand, wondering why.

It's not the horse that's dangerous. It's the incompetent people handling the horse.

How long did it take?

And where r her treats for being as good baby 🙏

Horses don't become dangerous unless they are mishandled. Or kept constantly stalled

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Your lead was too long and you weren't there to bump her left that's why she turned to the right in the trailer both times.

What a stunning gorgeous mare! Whew! She's a big girl and I'm glad she's got you Steve. She was so afraid. 🙀❤❤❤

I heard from a horse trainer that disengaging constantly can injure a horses stifle. Is this your opinion?

I think she's a bit of an ornery one with a bit of alpha and you are a big challenge to her top mare order❤ scary work in the trailer with this one. Lots of back talk. Ears not good. But she seems to have let go of her fear a bit to trust you to be her leader. ❤

"she's so smart"?????

That mare is spoiled rotten ! Sorry. Mom needs to be a lil bit stronger

I don’t want to come across as disrespectful, but she’s a big horse, so why is she not wearing a poll guard when travelling? Why do people wait until an injury occurs, and unfortunately, behavioural issues arisen as a result, before buying basic safety travelling gear? I was taught a horse needs a poll guard, leather head collar (snaps easier under strain), travel rug (depending on weather), travel boots/bandages, overreach boots (if using bandages), hockey & knee guards (again, if using bandages & not travel boots) & a tail bandage or guard. Prevention is certainly better and cheaper than cure.

Serious abused horse here in the past

@verandisoldusty6834

24 күн бұрын

Nope. They literally explain that the last time the horse traveled in the back of the trailer it freaked (traveling in a moving box is not natural for horses & we can't explain it to them) walloping its head on the edge of the door frame & bleeding a lot (as you do from a head wound). This was the trauma that left the horse so terrified of getting in the trailer.

Why would you call them dangerous when they just look extremely spooky and unsure of things? Also, why the stick going into the trailer? Horses are naturally claustrophobic. Tbh, putting the trailer in the field and putting her food in it to allow her to see that it's safe and where she gets food would've been miles better, imo. If she associates it as a bad place, then it'll stay bad. That's why I wasn't sure about the stick. She kicked out 3 times because of the stick.

Got to say sick of seeing this kind of problem solving, every time it’s breaking the horses will with course method on a fine sensitive horse…😢

If that is what you saw, then you are commenting on a different video, because this is not that. This was communication, not force. This was being patient and kind, not abusive. This horse was scared of the trailer, since she hurt hersef ( all explained in this video you did not watch). I dont know what you would have chosen, perhaps never had the horse on a trailer again, but for most people, that is not an option., Taking her to a veterinaty clinic is not an option if she wont load. Horses do not like or trust people that are unclear or wishywashy in their communicaton, this goes even more for horses that are scared of something. Not once did he hit her, tap, yes, hit, no, Not once did they gather 5 guys, wrap her in ropes and force her in. By being persistent and calm, giving her all the time she needed, she was shown that going in to the trailer was not the nightmare she thought it was., She went in by herself, and left by herself until she felt ok with staying in there, not once was she whipped for disobedience. How many horses have you trained?
