It's so refreshing to actually see a trainer truly putting the horses emotions & wellbeing first. Thank you for this vid

I just found your channel today and this is the first video I watched. I'm very happy with the way you handled this mare. I have a young horse that I've had since I was 15 and he used to be a degree below this horse. He wasn't running into me or anything but he was very unaware of my presence. I bought him so he we could grow together and learn together as well. I loved the way you explained your energy and what it means in regards to the horse. Not very many people are knowledgeable enough to acknowledge the horse's energy and where their mind should be. Most everyone I've seen is too worried about bossing the horse around instead of hearing what the horse has to say. You just gained a new subscriber, keep up the good work :)

This was great. I have a horse who is SUPER reactive and anxious and has suddenly become rather herd-bound. We do daily work, and he will come along superbly... and then suddenly if a change happens within his herd it's back 40 steps. I've been trying to rack my brain on how to provide him with the confidence that he needs to get past those changes (that're outside our control). Really enjoyed this video, and addressing the handler to remain calm and not causing more anxiety. Thank you! Rearing is his new habit, but this has been super helpful in understanding it -- going to try taking things to basics and try some of these methods in our daily routine.

I’m so glad you posted this from the start so many don’t show these parts. And showing people how just being as quiet as you can while keeping yourself safe allowing them to move around and try and regain any kind of focus little bit at time. So many want to use aggressiveness, or dominance and that just creates more anxiety. I agree as well yes it’s great they want to come into you while nervous but that’s dangerous and they can come to you when they are calmer and quite . This type takes a while like calm then they set off again then calm then go off again but as you stay quiet and allow it I just want to say I love this.thanks for being a breath of fresh air

im doing equine therapy for my own anxiety and i did ground work with a horse that also has anxiety, she was isolated from other horses for a while and had trouble adjusting to being in a herd and socialising with other horses. We bounced off of each other in the worst way and possibly the best. She could feel my anxiety and i could feel hers and it definitely helped ground myself, and breaking down my own walls. I felt so powerless because i wasnt strong enough to be there for her or for myself. Horses are such emotionally intelligent beings and she has done so much for me in only 3 days. Sadly shes going to another yard but i am so so proud of how far shes come, i know this is the next step of her journey and she has given me such a valuable lesson. Thank you for this video i see both myself and beautiful sally in that horse.

I love, love, love, that we get to see everything from start to finish with your videos. Watch the changes happen. You give such clear advice that actually works. It makes me way more confident with my horses and their ground work. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this video. So many trainers don't show a horse that is to this level of anxiety/fear. You explain everything so well. One difficulty I have is staying calm in situations like these and not absorbing some of the horses anxiety.

Thank you, it can be difficult in the moment to remain calm, but try to mentally prepare yourself for what could happen beforehand and then hopefully it won’t be such a shock when it does. Also, try to think logically, like if a rear happens, I handle it like this. A kick, like this and so on, then you have a plan that doesn’t involve panic

@@thegoodhorsemanshipchannel7206 great advice!

Just found your channel, excellent video! Hope to see more videos from you on the future😊 I’d especially love to see more videos with this mare, if possible. Really appreciate all the details you mentioned about using the back of your hand, and several others that many people don’t even think about. Clearly, you are a seasoned horseman🤠

A real joy to watch this, Joe. I am an avid fan of Ryan Rose Horsemanship and love his empathy. I didn’t expect to find a similar trainer here in the UK…but here you are. I’ve subscribed to GHtv and love and appreciate your work.

A job well done...huge transformation in no time at all !!! Staying calm with a horse like that and don`t become emotionally involved is often times much easier said than done with a horse like that,but in this case it was such a pleasure watching the difference it made.Very inspiring.I will remember this videothe next time a horse gets me triggered ...and it`s truely the inner state of mind that matters...they just feel it.

This is so relatable. I have anxiety that spikes in new situations like a job, even a new vacation destination, I can’t relax. No one wants to be anxious, horses included. It’s sad to see her seem sedated with the relief your training brings her with the hanging head, relaxed snorts, licking and head shaking. She should always have that ability and some horse owners make it worse because they don’t understand the nature of anxiety and the brain. I hope you do work with OTT Thoroghbrrds because many don’ know how to relax. My aunt worked with one but didn’t know what she was doing and the horse kept trying to race around the round pen on the lunge line and wouldn’t cooperate. I figured that’s anxiety but my aunt doesn’t understand anxiety.

Great video ! ! ! You have Horse-man-ship skills thanks for sharing them , I'll be glued to your channel

This was beautiful!!! Nice job!!!

Very nice and relaxed way with this horse .. very cool

Great example of patience and persistance with gentleness to achieve calmness and attentiveness although in the beginning close proximity to a nervous horse is a bit dicy for kicking or even rearing and striking out. Good awareness by yourself of these dangers. Well done

thank you for sharing. I have a horse that's like this. This is helpful.

Excellent

Excellent work i was a bit horrified at first

Great video and very helpful. Desperately trying to find new ways to help a very anxious pony who takes 10 steps forward and 20 back :(

Lovely to watch ❤

Nice work.

Okay that was seriously amazing!!!!! She's just like my girl. Nosey about everything yet anxious.

Wow man, i have a mare who does exactly the same. Watching the video was like living that nightmare again. Now is much better, but is still not 100 per cent rideable. The problem I see is that she improve a lot, but when riding she get crazy, like the begging of the video. So is confusing for me. It's like she doesn't have the enough confidence to walk be her self. I don't know. How did you "fix it"?

Normal horses in our lives like the ones that are tamed and live in country side and been looked after have got this mustang instinct. I have a 1 year old colt and he is 1 year and 3 months old, had been born from a normal horse not a mustang but definitely has some instincs of the mustang. His breed is a Gidran that a Hungarian breed of horses. Has 5 mixes in him. A colt yet not castrated because yet he is young for this, but is showing the stallion habits and behaviors, sometimes I think he has some mustang in him. Spoke to our vet, the vet said that currently he only dropped one testicle and one needs to be still dropped, he also said that second one he will drop closer when he will become 2 years old and half probably. We are able to do his hoofs and everything but he has a Nipping and bitting habit, we are trying our best to train him and work on that but it is not always working out that smooth. Not yet broken in for riding but in the sooner future will be. As I am not really want to brake in a stallion, it is risky and can be dangerous, so after hopefully he will be castrated then will brake him in or my husband, may be if we will not manage then will find someone who can brake him in for riding. I am already starting to picture how it will all look and feel. I am a very tall lady and quite light in weight, without a saddle and a bridle several times had hoped on onto him while he was In his stall and tighted up, so it's enough for him to move, lie down and to jump a little if he really has a need for it. Hadn't been thrown off but this yet is not a guarantee that when it will come time to brake him, he in his first chance will try to do that. Will be exactly like braking in a mustang. I need some professional advices on the behavior and other things, as it is important for me to understand how to go around working with him. He is taught to wear halter and been lead to the field, but sometimes he is overrunning me or my husband and we end up running after him with a rope in our hand, he is a big deal of speed and energy. Surely it is because he is young and still a young stallion not yet a gelding. At the moment he is just inside because of the winter and has a massive energy that he doesn't know on who to spill. Could you please give 🙏 me a heads up on how to deal with the young horse, because even though I know some things, I certainly do not think it is enough though. Stallion like behavior also pushy in the stall, trying to kick with front legs to get a person away. For that instance I had bought a stick with a flag that is for training and correcting behavior, i saw many experienced instructors using it and showing in training videos on youtube but not sure 🤔 if I am doing everything correctly. With Nipping and bitting, I am suspecting that he is coming close to the age where he will be changing teeth and that's why he is doing that, and he is getting his teeth on even rocks, wood 🪵 and where there he can bite on. Is that permanent or will this disappear with age and castration, because at the moment only me and my husband is handling him. I also read articles that Nipping, bitting and behaviors like that is typically normal in stallions, that's why I want him to be gelded when he is ready for it. I didn't trust anyone to get too close to him of like strangers, and I am not talking about trainer, professionals I will never be against but where we are now it is very hard to find one especially who can come to our place in Bulgaria, and even if there is someone like that they are far away and not willing to travel far, even if you offer them money. That's why I been so kin and following instructos on KZread fo3 training tips etc. I would like some advice from a trainer here, not people who just have stallions and breed them bur also who have trained them and know philosophy of a horse etc

Watch Steve Young and Ryan Rose. Keep all horses out of your space and biting/running off is never ok. No hand feeding ever. They just need a firm, kind leader

@@terrilewis172 my colt hadn't yet been gelded as waiting for both testicles for him to release, he is still young. But the Nipping /bitting issue is very much always there. I already watched both instructors, but I ain't an instructor myself so it is a bit difficult to do the same things as they do just from watching videos.

Excellent vid but you may want to have a talk with your sound man....talking is moot if it can't be understood.

Wow, you should voiceover. That noise is unbearable.

Bei so einem Pferd würde ich den einfach abmachen vom Seil, dann soll er seine Energie los werden. Wenn diese raus ist, ist das Pferd wieder in der Lage zuzuhören. So wird das nichts. Das ist wie wir unsere Kinder zwingen 6 Std. In der Schule ruhig zu sitzen und glauben dann das Kind hat ADHS.... Weil es sich einfach bewegen will

I disagree, that would be a false result. The horse would only be ‘behaving’ because you’ve spent her energy. Plus, it’s not practical if you want to saddle up and go for a ride without having to let your horse gallop around for so long first. It will also take longer and longer the fitter your horse gets, as well as it becoming normal to them to explode before every ride. That’s a quick way to get a horse more anxious, and dangerous! But above all, this mare becomes mentally comfortable at the end of the video, not because she’s tired, or used up her energy, but because she finds some comfort associated with the behaviour she chooses. Then it’s her decision to relax, and be ‘good’. After working in this way for a little while the horse will come out seeking the praise, and wanting to work with you. That’s my take on it
