Great info- I purchased a horse from this team and he is amazing. I looked at a lot of horses before I made the trip to EDI. So glad I did. Joseph and Jessica worked with me and I have an amazing new partner. That’s one step they left out- work with someone who has the experience and connections to find those unicorns. Beautiful, talented but most importantly a great brain, amateur friendly and excellent training. I can’t say thank you enough! Icing on cake- first time down centerline 76.3%

THANK YOU MELANIE! FINALLY! An ally. I've mentioned the fabulousness of a horse with a good mind! In this arena, literally & figuratively, both horse & trainer's minds malign. Joseph thinks like a horse. First. He naturally connects. Lucky horses. A good trainer knows how to protect the horses mind & support trust within. And Joseph is most certainly NOT going to ride a lame or sore horse, for a teaching video. And Jen's eyes, from the ground, filming, are not going to ignore a problem. Paaleeezzz! Get a clue. They are promoting & teaching & informing. Always a critic, or 2 or 3, in every audience. It's a 5 year old baby, easy going around the arena. Not stumbling, not raising his head in pain... Just easy basics with soft contact. No stress no pressure. Just being a happy young Stallion, carrying Joseph around as asked. And could care less. 5 Year Old baby! I can't wait to see him from 7yrs to 10yrs. Beautiful now. Stunning then.

I am SO happy to hear that!!! I hope we get to enjoy watching you two at a show!

Such good advice no matter what the discipline. Really like this horse's expression and eye. Thank you for uploading this 🐎

I loved this video!!! Thank you 🙏

Excellent video! I love this horse!

Such great information when looking for your next partner in crime 😆 Thank you again! You two truly are extremely descriptive which helps so many make a very informed decision 👏😊

We recently purchased a 6y. old dressage horse (Don Schufro x Diamond Hit II). He is a very friendly gelding with the most active hind leg I have ever seen. He is expertly in training to class L/M. But pre-purchase examination wasn’t as good as we had assumed. After thinking about it and a couple of sleepless nights we decided to take him home for very much less money than he was offered before examination. Now he started testing as many young horses do it after a while. Nothing what we ca not deal with but over all I think horse shopping is always an adventure („Wundertüte“ is the common word we use in German 😉).I hope the horse will suits our needs in future. You never knows.

Congratulations. Best of luck. You indicated he didn't vet out. That's very vague. If you don't mind, please allow me to inquire. Regarding his less than stellar vetting, please elaborate. What didn't vet out. What did he not pass on. Soundness somewhere? I actually purchased a fabulous horse, fabulous bloodline, decades ago. He didn't vet out perfectly. I moved him, from my barn, to go live with my trainer, and be expertly cared for & trained. She had a fabulous private training facility. We showed extensively. US & Canadian Nationals. But, her knowledge, professional experience & expert top notch care, & scientifically developed pharmaceutical grade multiple bazillion supplements, joint & ankle maintenance, joint injections with hyaluronic acid, to keep things lubricated & ultimate preventative care & maintenance by a Veterinarian specialist, chiropractic sessions with needles by a Veterinarian, & massages By an Equine Professional. All of our horses each had custom designed & fitted saddles, bridles, halters, girths, blankets, sheets, turnouts, pads, all tack. Our farriers hand made their shoes. Sounds daunting. Its not. It all flows. Well managed stables. Perfectly maintained. Perfectly maintained footing. Maintained pastures. Yes, they have turnout. Very organized barn. My horses were kept sound. And he only had a slight issue at vetting. Otherwise, he was a most beautiful & winning horse. Wonderful disposition. Loved everyone. He aldo had an over reactivate fight or flight instinct. From mishandling as a youngster. He was a maniac runaway, lol. You had to be very in tune. Stop his panic beforehand. Lol. I must say. We made it. He won everything. But, he needed to live with my trainer.

Great video! I think you should make this a series! There's more aspects to it I'm sure you guys could share!

Thank you for this video! This horse is gorgeous by the way exactly what I am looking for, but they are like unicorns.

Great walk!

Great advice!

Thanks for acknowledging riding new horses in front of people is difficult. Honestly I thought experienced riders didn’t have this problem. Beautiful arena 😊

Great info, thanks for that!

So pleased to see your name. Your content is entertaining-even though I’m not looking for a horse (I rode thoroughbreds for 3day eventing).

Ps. Merry Christmas Dorothy. You're certainly entitled to your opinions. I'm ok with that. I sincerely do wish you happiness & health, this holiday season. Bye for now. Jann, from Baton Rouge.🎄

To Dorothy. In reply. WHATEVER Dorothy. Get a grip. My name is Jann. And, clean your glasses. They must be tilted to the right. This young stallion has perfectly normal conformation, for this stage in his life & training. Pretty evenly developed. And, Joseph is in tune to balanced riding. The saddle isn't falling or listing to one side. If it did so, or does so, for a stride or few strides, Joseph would step into his stirrup enough to rebalance. It happens. But, I'm watching again. I see nothing to the extent that you describe. Happy trails.

There are so many dishonest horse sellers. Is there any way to tell if the horse has received a sedative before your arrival, without a blood test?

Joseph and Jen, can you provide some really good questions to ask the seller? I’m looking for other than the basic health, “general maintenance “ if you will. Thanks in advance for you help and this is a helpful video.

Fun topic!

Thanks for this. One thing to consider is that anyone trying a horse for the first time likely wouldn't be getting on with a dressage whip to start.

I like the way this horse looks and moves is he European bred?

Addendum to my earlier "wntrwhite" reply. Obviously, I favor upper level Schoolmasters, for training riders coming up through the lower levels & advancing accordingly. Especially, for riders who are apprehensive. All emotion from the rider & the riders body & hands are felt, & communicate directly to the horse. If you don't or can't yet, trust yourself, then the horse certainly cannot trust. So it moves to tolerance, by the horse. And, if you aren't capable, of immediately identifying & immediately fixing a problem, created, or identifying a miscommunication, & correcting it, properly & calmly, with knowledge & confidence, then a forgiving Schoolmaster is a wonderful blessing & privilege. Yot

Can you share some thoughts about buyers who are buying a horse to have something that is capable above their current level? I am a decent rider with a good budget but need a horse who will take a bit of a joke and give me something that I maybe didn't get 100% perfect. Is there a good way to evaluate this in a trial ride without risking frazzling someone's nice sales horse?

Hi wntrwhite. As a fellow subscriber, I can share my thoughts with you, based on my experiences. Firstly, the best approach to all concerned, with the horse being first & foremost, is to have a trusted Professional involved. A proven, experienced, well enough known, trainer. An individual, extremely successful with training & teaching. Very knowledgeable of the horse, inside and out, & inately connected with the horse's mind. Knows how a horse thinks, sees & reacts, & why. A person with true horsemanship & natural ability. My advice, for a horse, such as you seem to be needing, is a Schoolmaster. A horse capable of perceiving to understand you, & giving what you're attempting to ask for, such as flying changes, or a simple change. An older tolerant soul. Trained to higher levels, like Prix St George. Shown extensively. Good mind. Calm disposition. Sound body & mind. These Schoolmasters are great, for teaching capable & decent riders, coming up through the levels. They are usually very forgiving. However, no horse takes or understands a joke. They try giving what they think you're asking. And no horse deserves a hard handed, bouncing clanging banging amateur. No joke. Not funny. And never participate in using a punishing harsh bit. A very soft training snaffle only. Stay out of the horses mouth & face. No spurs. Most amateurs don't have the heel control to keep off the horses sides. Some trainers too. Don't buy a young horse. You can definitely screw up the mind of young or even older untrained horses. Any owner, or seller, allowing an amateur to ride a horse, with the slightest possibility that you could cause the horse problems, is not to be trusted, & doesn't care about the horse's mind, or well being. Much less yours. It's the almighty dollar. Schoolmasters are well educated to many things. Find a professional who puts the horse first. Matches you appropriately. Trustworthy. Like Joseph here. His sister, Amelia. Steffen Peters. Think. Nothing about horses, is a joke. Best of luck! May you find your perfect horse & partner, for life!!!

@@privatemailcall6011 the phrase “to take a joke” is a common description of an amateur friendly horse. It means a horse who is forgiving of mistakes and doesn’t require a foot-perfect professional ride every single time. It does not mean I intend to deliberately confuse the horse. I already have a lovely schoolmaster and a trainer. I have ridden through the I1, but the horse is older and not competitive. I am now looking to move on to a competitive horse for a competent amateur but that means trying horses who may not have been ridden by amateurs often. That is the situation I am asking for advice on, but thank you for taking the time to write.

Lol! Alrighty then. Totally unfamiliar with, a horse taking a joke. Schoolmaster anyone? Thanks for clarifying my misinterpretation. Not really too far off the mark. Nonetheless, aren't we both lucky! Aren't Schoolmasters wonderful! I was able to competitively show our 3 Schoolmasters, as was my daughter. But of course, eventually, they do deserve to retire, & enjoy simply being a horse, while receiving great care forever & no demands by us, other than to enjoy their lives & live forever! And please know, that I did not think you meant to purposely confused a horse. I just thought you meant, a horse that was tolerantly forgiving of amateurs, & slight miscommunications. Lol. I never purposely goofed while riding my horses, but I did have those moments! I learned about those moments, more from my sensitive & hot blooded horses. My Schoolmaster rolled their eyes & kept going. My non tolerant non Schoolmasters, reacted. That's how I learned a lot too. And yes, yay! for our trainers. I'd never have made it without mine. Seriously. Their work is never done. And she wasn't easy. No playing around. But, that's how & why I won so much. She's why we were successful. I'm so happy for you, and I know you'll find your perfect pony. Your partner. It's an amazing journey. It's a blessing. I was lucky & blessed. No words can express how lucky I was. May your horsey life last forever. May you never have to wistfully reflect back on your horse times. May you always have them in your life. I'm happy for you and excited about your new horse. That's such fun! Merry Christmas 🎄! J from Baton Rouge La.

I vet the potential buyer before anybody gets on one of my animals. I only want to see winning combination. It's my reputation.

To continue... your trainer, who is familiar with you, will test ride your prospect, & should know immediately, if there's a possibility of matching you with the horse. Money nor commissions should apply. Honesty & trust are critical. Not to say you can't buy a horse that isn't a Schoolmaster. But to say have confident & capable guidance. And common sense. Can you handle what's in front of you. Find a Joseph to help. This advice, of course, applies to an unsure amateur. Trusted professionals, are sometimes hard to find. Ask Joseph. Anne Hornbeak, in Clinton Louisiana, is an honest, accomplished, competent & medaled Professional. A natural rider with Horsemanship. She knows the horses mind. Well know & trusted by horses & people. Again, there's Joseph. Amelia. Steffen. I wish the very best for you!

This is a lovely horse. His saddle is falling right, his right hip is higher than the left and his right shoulder lacks muscle.

Woah there Steffen Peters! This horse, is a baby. He's still developing his musculature, as well as his mind. Apparently, he has a great mind, per Jen & Joseph. But, he probably hasn't been under saddle for all that long. He's only just 5! Great mind, but nonetheless, still a very young horse. Wait until he's 7. You'll notice his musculature will have significantly developed, strengthening his abilities, & balance, giving him the power to evenly carry himself & his rider. He'll mature & develop impressively, over the next 5 years. He'll be a showstopping Stallion. His disposition is wonderful. His mind will remain very good, & stay trusting, as long as he remains in training with those who completely think like a horse, knowing the horse's mind, body & soul. Patience is a virtue. Horsemanship. Extreme knowledge & experience. Soft & giving. Again, this Stallion is very young. He'll impress at 7. He'll be very impressive from 8 to 9, & blow your mind @ age 10. He's a developing young Stallion. A baby. Lovely horse is right. Keep that thought. It's not time yet to expect the conformation of a fully developed adult Stallion. Let him grow up first. He's in competent, experienced professional hands. He has lots of training professional & veterinarian eyes on his body. If there is cause for concern, it won't come from us, here in the amateur peanut gallery. Lest we forget, Joseph has ridden for a lifetime. He has Amelia, Jen, Vets, untold professionals, & the likes of his dear friend, Steffen Peters. I'm confident, that Steffen knowns a thing or two.

Agreed he's a lovely young stallion. Seems sore in hips as he's walking short on the outside. Could be nothing or something.

Please mind your restless legs😢

Would be a great deal better without the woman constantly interrupting the rider giving his assessment…she’s adding no value. Irritating

This horse, how ever beautiful, has structural differences. And your riding body movement, is too theatrical. No need to dry hump the saddle. And watch you don't choke the stirrup.

when I saw the spurs I quit watching!
