"it's all about moving their feet"... Traditionally this is not something that is even entertained, we are all taught the same old fashioned way -which is to be honest human arrogamcy. Dominate the horse, not speak the horse's language. I'm so glad there's a huge shift globally in how we approach horses, at least people are trying other methods. For the past few years I've not had my own horse, I ride at a school. So I'm not able to consistently apply this method, but for the few minutes each week that I do it makes a difference to the horse I ride. She likes to invade human space, but I show her that it's not okay with me. And she's cool with that. The problem is I have to start fresh every week because the rest of the time no-one focuses on her invasion of space issue. I love your videos Steve. Thank you Charlotte for getting your dad up on the net for us all to gain from his knowledge and experience. We are in awe ❤️

I don't even live near a horse and here I sit here listening and studying everything. as if I'm going on out and work with my own. 🤣

I have to say, I'm asking myself that very same question. Still, I love to watch Steve teach another horse.

This is the classic pony (Therwell) pony misgiving; that has been portrayed as acceptable, just like the behaviours of the small dog. But ultimately very dangerous considering the natural pairing with a child. It’s so refreshing and it’s truly amazing to see the difference. Well done! This should be part of every riding lesson! 😉

I'm so taken by the gentleness with which he handles each individual horse. After the release, the lightest and most fleeting touch on the horse's nose or forehead is just about all they need to know they're behaving as expected. I like how he doesn't treat the horse as a human. He communicates with them as would a lead horse in a pack. Clearly this is a behavior they understand. I don't want to call it magic but it is startling how quickly he makes progress with a problem horse. Keep up the good work, Steve.

When you have the crowd applaud I can't help but wonder if at the end the horse is thinking 'Wow, he has them all trained!'. Loved the video, thanks for all you do!

Horses, German Shepherds...I have been blessed with 7 of each over decades. Your philosphy of Leadership and Respect is outstanding. Only one GS was from puppy stage, 6 have a lot of work put into them. Horses mishandled, misread to personality, some abuse have all taught me to be flexible and learn diferent ways of reaching out. Still learning, almost 70 , still riding, teaching, yes being hurt, Cowgirling up and moving on. Only thing I would change would be the knowledge I have now 50 years ago. You are a tremendous teacher, guide, leader. Never stop learning, giving, making mistakes and keep going. Thank you!

Horses are like kids, they crave boundaries. Boundaries make them feel safe.

Lost for 16 years. Found in 30 minutes. Actually, 10 minutes.

It's like watching my pony Pixie. I've had her 3 months, and this is EXACTLY what she does. I can't thank you enough for sharing this. I have been following your videos and adapting them to what I was observing in her, but it is encouraging to see you work a similar issue. Thank you

Good luck with your pony Sandy. Steve is a star isn’t he? His advice is absolutely priceless.

How attentive this little pony is - listening, watching, learning. Fantastic to watch

Beautiful job Steve! You've started that sweet little pony on a better rest of his life. I can see what a difference your training makes for the owners as well with its simplicity. Blessings to you and Tanya for your devotion to making a difference in the horse world. They are one of the Heavenly Father's most beautiful treasures. Well wishes to your entire family.

How true...What a gift He gave us with the horse. I so admire people that understand what they need, like becoming their a leader. And to do that with kindness, patience and hands on TLC, while being firm with what you DON'T want. And to watch them become fine with it, always amazes me. Kindness matters.😊💕🌻

This is great, a reminder not to forget the other eye, many of us were never taught this years ago and I’m not altogether sure that many instructors are teaching it now! 👍

14:18 is the dimond moment. Unrequested forward motion no anger nothing personal not even looking at the pony, just move those feet back. Beautiful

I love the thought you are doing Parenting…. There’s leadership and then there’s parenting. The ponies need both. ❤️❤️

Such a lovely pony. Although he's small, I can tell he's very powerfully built. Such a change in him once Steve worked with him. Always enjoy your videos and I always learn something new. Thanks.

Boiling it down to the fundamentals… “bc it is simple… but it’s not..”❤❤❤ Wonderful as always, Steve.

what isn't visible is the biggest asset... steve is on the same communication bandwidth as the horse. they are, by frequency, consciously connecting/communicating. the horses love that direct/clear/real exchange. i think a large part of the horses' anger is that they've been hurt and alone and stewing in that. no one can access the communication channel and really connect with them.. so they are alone and angry for a long time. seemingly forever. then here comes steve's consciousness walking right into their channel speaking consciousness to consciousness, heart to heart -- thereby totally changing their world. so beautiful. people need to be trained to access the unspoken field of communication. that's what nature understand/responds to.

This horse seems extremely smart and fast learning, yet still alert. She also is able to settle down quickly from a spook. I really like this horse. Once Steve got in there, it was super fast, she just needed some direction.

I totally agree communication is key and it's not about words l think that's why l love working with horses so much

He has a strong reaction to pressure on his halter, that's when he rears. I'd say he's never been properly taught to come forward off pressure. If horse's are tied solid when they don't understand to come forward off pressure, they instinctually pull backwards and/or rear, and that's how he's escaped the pressure in the past. In other words, he's been inadvertently taught to rear and drag people to try and escape halter pressure, by humans not understanding how to teach him how to respond properly.

i love how confident you are and how that allows the horse trust in you. and I've noticed no matter the horse they respond to you because of your body language it's even more accentuated when i see how others put fear into the animals with their body language when they themselves are leery and afraid. This lil one he was just looking for some support and wasn't getting it. Thanks for helping the people and the pony :) Awesome. ♥

Good video of a bossy pony. I never really thought about horses being 1 eyed more than another because I always messed with both sides shoeing them and grooming and just sitting with them while they ate. I am horseless now my 25 yr old saddle horse died unexpectedly, so that is something I will have to think about when buying a new horse. That in itself will feel weird as I've had horses all my life and went with the motto of have a pair and a spare. But we all got old and they passed away. Sad for me. Keep up the good work Steve looking forward to your two colts training.

I get so much out of your videos. I grew up riding, but our job (my twin sister and I) was to stay ON the backs of the thoroughbreds (our aged teacher bought young horses off the track to train for hunter jumpers- they'd never been in the woods, or had leaves under their hooves, or seen squirrels or birds etc.). We learned much from him, but not any specific method of training. What a beautiful pony, so much learned in one session, I feel the pressure is off and this pony will enjoy his life much more than before, and the relief factor is HUGE. I am comforted to know this will be a new beginning for the pony and owner, and a much more happy and fulfilling partnership :). Thank you for making these videos and sharing how you spread knowledge and peace.

I LOVE how you're able to identify that the pony had a "bad side" and a "good side." I think so often we forget about this, as horse people, and it's so important to get the horse ok with both sides. I'm going to try some of these exercises with my nervous TWH. Thank you! :)

I love to watch the horse or pony start to relax, to watch you, to bend and I love that this wee lad may have a better life now.

So firm, yet gentle and patient. Making the world a better place, one horse at a time. 🙏💜🇺🇸

The difficult part for me would be keeping my temper. I am so impressed that Steve is so detached from the emotions of the horse. It seems to allow the horse to have faith in him. It allows Steve to be so kind and fair for the horse. There is a boatload of other things I would have trouble with also. I so appreciate these videos.

Another valuable lesson! I hate to admit, I used to think it looked awfully untidy leading a horse from the front (as my American instructor did) preferring to lead from the shoulder in the (proper!!) English manner! You live 'n' learn, don't you? .🐾😉🐴 G'd on ya Steve, Tanya & Charlotte.

And doesn’t he look cute in that jacket! You look cute in that hat too with your precious little donkey ! You two are so precious to all of us. Take care of each other ! And Charlotte and Dan too!

What a nice couple you two are. Happy Early Birthday Steve.

Beautiful jacket. To see how you help these horses and give them innerl peace. How beautiful. You do so much good for these lovely animals. Thank you.

A fast transformation with simple principles that the owners can easily learn. Just brilliant. I loved watching the transformation . 👍❤️🐴

I can’t wait to “Steve Young” my own horse!! 😏😁❤️

Greetings.....from the Western North Carolina Mountains....USA ! TRULY IMPRESSIVE....! Can't help but think of a few horses in my past that could have seriously benefited from this amazing way of connecting with the horse. MUCH GRATITUDE to you....for sharing what you have learned with all of us.....as well as with all the horses that have been blessed with your touch. Sincerely, Cindy 🐴

Awesome video Steve (as always) Just wonderful to see the transformation.....😍PS Tania your a star.. Love the jacket.❤️🐎❤️

Brilliant. It is really complicated to achieve this level of uncomplicated communication with the pony. Thank you. I think I will watch this dozens of times and discover stuff every time.

You're amazing.All those years of misery for that little pony and you come along and make him view this world and people within it differently .Bye magic man see you on next one.

I just love your patience in your training, saving one horse at a time, cheers 😊

Awesome to see that little pony relaxing and secure with yourself and others!! Seeing his Energy change was great!! ~Thank you for helping people Learn to Communicate and Understand Horses body Language!! Andrea and Critters. ...XxX....

Good morning from NZ. The ' horseless kiwi ' again, absolutely loving your tuition. What a lovely color he is. Don't they love being taught what to do. You're top notch Steve. Thank you for taking us on these journeys and educating us. Bless you all.🙏🙏❤❤👍👍😀😀

Wow. Always impressed by the immediate understanding from the horse or Pony to recognize you're speaking their language. It's so evident. It's literally a lesson in itself. The equine language. If we take the time to learn it, and it doesn't take long mind you... they are immediately responsive. Just speak the language, understand their brains. Step 1..

I am amazed by your work. You are always so respectful to the horse while training. Jacket looks great on you...thanks, Tanya!

Beautiful I luv the way you break it down to basics 🐎

You are so right. Controlling the feet is the overall base. Thanks again for this video!

Absolute legend steve got in to horse 18months ago through my partner and watch you havent looked back your way works just started a 10 year old for myself never been back and im riding away thank you

Always enjoyable & instructive to watch! I went to a local stable a bunch of years back & told the instructor I wanted to learn the 'language' of horse better, specifically for groundwork. She was mystified! I didn't want riding lessons? No. I wanted to learn how to better communicate on the ground & how to develop a working relationship. I'd had lessons as a kid, but never felt I could communicate effectively. She still didn't understand what I'd come to her for. Pity your videos weren't available then, Steve! I feel I could've learned so much of what I needed back then! Oh well, you can always teach new tricks to an old dog, with the right kind of teacher/teaching. 😊

Great jacket! Looks good on you! You're clearly very happy with it. Lovely of Tanya to make sure you had it. Excellent training video.

Another wonderful presentation. Thank you so much Steve.

Beautiful! 🌸💖✨🌟 Thank you!!! As you say over and over, it’s simple and easy but it’s not simple easy at the same time to do what you do. The self awareness one has to have on a physical, mental and emotional level is already a lot to handle. Then understanding the body language of a horse, of each horse, and their thought process is another lot of awareness to acquire. Lead to drive, move their feet, watch out for them as you work with them so they can relax and not have to be in charge… seems simple, but wow, so much goes into all this. I feel like such a beginner. When I finally move to Germany my neighbor will guide me on all this and I will help muck out the barn, fill the water and groom them in exchange. I can only hope to come to a hundredth of the capacity and awareness of you, Steve!

Brilliant as always Steve. I always learn something from every video that you put out. Yes, it's the same ground work but each horse is different in how they handle the ground work being taught, which you have consistently shown us it's the basis and building blocks of teaching a horse ... the expectations of their behaviours ... when interacting with humans. It's the same lingo as when they're in a wild herd, as you have said countless of times. I also see the same techniques being used when I watch other channels now about horsemanship. And if similar techniques are not applied, the handler always seems to have problems that aren't resolved in the same manner or quite as easily, comparatively. Actually, truth be known, I have be known to drop a suggestion to some, in their comments, to watch your channel. One person did respond back saying they have their own way of doing things ... that's pride loud and clear! Your methods seem to be full proof and work with any type of horse, no matter how difficult or out of control that horse has become. I'm not saying it's Steve Young's method, as you learned these techniques from others as well ... like Buck, etc. It's just good horsemanship that has been handed down through the generations. I think if it's made to be complicated, at these levels, it's just someone trying to build up of their self importance. You're all about the horse and safety for all. I really look forward to your videos and if I'm ever in a financial position I will be joining as a patreon. Thanks so much Steve et al. These videos always give me a good feeling watching the kindness you show towards one of God's most special creatures. Have a blessed day!

So happy to hear that you take down time for zen hobbies. Thank you for sharing that with us. And thank ALL of you for the time and effort it takes to share your knowledge about horsemanship. I know that the behind the scenes stuff is just as time consuming as working with the horses so I want to say a big thank you to the rest of your crew! Love you all!

Brilliant as always. Nice jacket Steve.Tanya, you look great in that hat. Look forward to next video

Your amazing, how you communicate with the horse and how you understand them. That's the key. Well done you. It's an awesome gift.

Oh the jacket showing was just hilarious - Steve like his first day at school 🤣♥️ Xx

Your videos keep getting more revelatory about accessing our behaviors and our programming. Love how you break everything down, keep your boundaries, and adapt every behavior "to make it their idea". Totally brilliant Just re-watching and enjoying. Happy Big Birthday coming up Steve, and Tanya I love the flight jacket you bought for him❤❤❤

Hi Steve & Tanya. Once again we thoroughly enjoyed this video. Amazing how the horses calm down when they know who the leader is. What a lovely wife you have Steve buying that lovely jacket for your upcoming birthday. You modeled it very well. Lots of love from New Zealand.

As always, amazing & heartwarming. I can only imagine how many horses you have saved from a life of misery or worse, being put down. God bless you ❤️😎🥰

Beautiful pony! I have watched many of the same trainers as Steve in my training career. What sets Steve a cut above the rest is his calm and compassionate manner with horses and people. The horse owner may have very little money or be very wealthy, but he treats the people the same. Very rare and appreciated in the horse business. Rock on Steve!

I remember you mentioning in another episode about a mustang named Cheyenne. Did her owner happened to be Dennis Daly? A horsemanship guy from Norway named Peer Werner Vogel was hired to tame her when she was at the two cheek ranch in the USA. Dennis was so impressed about his skills that he chose to give cheyenne to Peer, witch later took her with him back to Norway.

Lovely Video, Absolutely makes my work week fly by waiting for the next one. Love to you Steve, Tanya and family..

Excellence again, Steve , what FUN to watch and learn 🌱👍

I really love your passion Steve, for helping people to communicate with their horses and ponies. Your love of the animals and desire for people to be safe is so inspiring.

Love the flying jacket! It suits you perfectly, and Tanya is such a sweet, supportive wife. It makes me very happy that you all got some time away for yourselves.

What a fantastic change in that pony! So great. Wonderful video. Love you guys😀🐎

You are amazing. Love watching you and Tanya helping people and horses. Much love from WI USA

Enjoyed every minute Steve, how happy that pony was at the end of session. Really found it so interesting and couldn’t believe the transformation. Bless you both 😊

Steve, your videos are just so helpful to me! You explain things in, as you said, as simple manner, and it puts a lot of little pieces of horse knowledge I have into a coherent whole. I'm a western rider, and I think we just hear more of that type of training over here (I live in Montana). But the way you teach us in your videos enables me to apply your techniques every day, and it makes for better and happier horses. Thank you so very much!

That's why I love watching your videos! You make it so understandable, and it really really works. You are amazing,I'm so blessed to have found you after all the years of trying to learn, watching so many other training videos & clinics ECT, you just make everything so clear with no fancy filler just good basic stuff. thank you 🤠

Hi to you all.Happy for you having had a lovey trip ..Nice jacket. 11 minutes in...he seems a sweety deep down.Its great watching Steve..Thanks for the work you all do recording your interactions with all these various beautiful horses.From my perspective you are in a great job..I love watching..(from Sydney)...So,I couldnt get to one of your demonstration days 🙂I just want you all to know ,your work and lovely way with all your animals is really appreciated.All take care..Keep safe..

Love your videos Steve. I don't own a horse, never have unfortunately and now too old and disabled. However, I used to ride when I was younger, so have always loved horses. I follow Friesian Horses in Friesland (my favourite breed). You are brilliant at turning the lives of horses and owners around. I learn such a lot.

Lovely little pony. ❤️ Just needed a bit of guidance and some rules to feel safe. ❤️🇧🇻

Just so great to see the change - his body relaxed so much. ❤

Well, I believe I'm in love/admiration with you, Steve... but let me explain: your training and equine insight continue to reveal so much not only about your incredible horse knowledge, but also about your cute personality. Alongside glimpses into your lovely family members, seeing your bikes and boat leaves me wanting a bit more of your private life fun time stuff! Through the wonders of the internet, there's no need for us to access the reality of the "actual" Steve, so it's easy to love a person that never farts, burps, or gets cranky in your presence LOL! So maybe it's time for even more non-equine fun tidbits, possibly at the end of the horsey classes, or through a link to "What Steve and Co did on Their Day Off" that separates those just here for the horses from those who also want more of a peek into your daily life. For example, I was glued to the post when your parrot escaped!

If I could give you a double thumbs up, I would. Thank you for sharing this.

My appreciation and respect for you just continues to grow. This was a lovely educational video and I am so encouraged regarding this beautiful pony's future. His owner has every chance in the world to finally be able to have the companion she has wanted and love on him. That's all because of you, Steve. God bless you. And I have to say you look great in your flight jacket! 😉

He has worked on alot in this session. He has done well when he finally understood what you were asking. I hope the fear of having his bad past behavior doesn't impeed that with his owner. Kindness, firmness so he understands your the boss will help him. Even though he's aged he can learn manners.

I always enjoy to hear your talk about the correct frame of mind to work with horses. Thank you for this video!

Thanks again Steve for your awesome techniques of training! You are so patient and yet firm...such gems in training! When I lived in Germany I loved going to Spain! The temperature was a lovely change. Plus where I went I got to go visit a favorite horse riding establishment! I got to do all my favorite things...sun bathe, shop and ride horses. The stable let me ride their personal horses because of my level of experience! Was ran by a German actually. You got so much for a decent price. Of course this was many years ago. Thanks again Steve and Tanya!
