Just love how your not expecting much out of him as he is a young horse. If only there more owners out there like you that took the time realize a 3 year old horse can't everything an 8 year old can do.
Exactly! It's like asking a kindergartener to do 6th grade algebra.
I love the way that Shelby works with her horses, you can see in the way they act that they are so well taken care of and educated with patience and understanding. I hope I can be as good of a horse person as her one day.
Wow, what a cutie. Archie seems like such an easy going guy.
Also, I'd like to add that I honestly appreciate the fact that you let Archie be a horse in his younger years. I know one too many people that start jumping their horses at like 2-3 and that just doesn't seem right to me. I'm glad Archie got to grow up and be a baby before getting into more serious training. Definitely need more people like Shelby in the world.
"starting them" as a 2-3 year old can be okay, depending on the horse, but working them at that age is just stupid. A 3 year old should if anything just have a rider on for short periods of time (20-40minutes) of just goofing around in the forest or paddock and having fun once or twice a week, most preferably in a halter to reinforce that as a bonding confidence building experience and not work. Then at 4 years old you can start starting them more in the regular sense, start riding them more often and teaching them stuff, asking a little from them ect
@@bqualitysnake6549 Even four sounds weird to me, jesus in the uk it is normal that horses aren't started untill like 6 and 7. I would personally start backing a horse at 4 and starting to work him at 5, but that's just my opinion and it depends on how the horse is growing still
@@noctesrebellionem212 Exactly,, you guys understand that a horse isn't fully developed structurally until its at least 6 years of age.. Look at all those Olympic show jumping horses that jump 6ft jumps. These horses are all 10 years old to 15 years old. People need to have patience with these beautiful animals. If Shelby wants to jump and do cross country or whatever, buy an older horse.
I love this video, so sweet to see how far you guys have come! I loooove the relationship between Archie and Milo. :)
HayItsMaya .I love your videos❤❤
You have done such a fantastic job with him Shelby! It honestly blows my mind to see what a cool customer he is! Very little seems to phase him and his brain makes him a very special horse. I'm excited to continue to watch the two of you continue to grow as a team! :)
I'm so in love with Archie, he's absolutely adorable! I'm sure he's gonna make an amazing horse in the future (he already is pretty awesome anyway) x
What a great brain on the green bean! Good job with him!
Who tf downvotes this?! This is so sweet.
Shelby, you have a beautiful way of telling a story. You’re a wonderful rider, your equitation is almost too perfect. When the time is right, so looking forward to seeing this lovely horse over a few fences. His relationship with Molo is so sweet, I would hate to see them separated.
Thank you so much!
I wish there was a love button!❤️❤️❤️❤️
THE GOOD BABY BOY CELEBRATES HIS FIRST YEAR WITH MOMMY
Congrats
I couldn't stop smiling omg
This was sooo good to watch..
Love it.
I love it when you find those one in a million ottb's
I'm currently leasing a 13yr old ottb gelding who is so calm and gentle. I'm only an intermediate rider and I'm able to trot him around without him getting fast or having to worry about him spooking or being hot. He was actually his owners first horse who they bought sight unseen as a green ottb!! He pretty much is exactly the same nature as Archie but in an older body it's my first time riding an ottb and I say if everyone who didn't like them because they think there all hot and spooky I'd say just come and look at my guy and youll change your opinion on that
Shelby, I think you are one of the nicest persons I've ever seen around horses. I wrote on another video of yours about Heart Horse. I had my heart horse. She was a rescue I got in June of 2005. The first time I saw her was when she arrived. It was love at first sight. I brushed her everyday and spent time sitting in her pasture just enjoying the sound of her eating. She had second stage navicular and could only be ridden at a walk. I didn't care. I loved her so much. We trusted each other as best friends. I made a bet with another person that she would followe me into the viewing room of the indoor arena, and follow me out with no trouble. It was the easiest ten dollars I ever made. Things we're going great with her. She was fearless and never spooked, ever. She loved her threats called nicker-makers, and she could not be brushed long enough. Sometimes, I would take her for a walk with me walking by her side, and she always checked my pockets for treats. Oh how I loved her. Sadly, she coliced very badly on October 31, 2011. She took a piece of my heart with her when she died. When I saw the title "Heart Horse," on your other video, I instantly knew what is was going to be about. I cannot tell you how much it impacted me, and how much I appreciate that video. I have been unable to find another horse. I feel like I'm still looking for Lexie. It's been seven years and I just feel down and still missing my best friend. Thanks for listening. 💕
Archie is my dream horse. Thank you for accepting him in your life. God bless.
You have a HUGE heart.❤
He's adorable ❤️🐎
Archie has turned out to be a great horse! That is due to the training &care & love you having given him ! 🐎🍎🥕
Um, sorry to say, but you've made a mistake in the video. At 2:26 there should be "MOVE BITCH GET OUTTA DA WAY" blasting at full volume xD
Glad you had a happy year with Archie. Give the blond gentleman a big hug from me :)
I love Archie, he is such a sweet and gentle natured horse and I'm so excited to see him blossoming into a riding horse!
I wish my horse was as sweet and calm matured as Archie is!
My OTTB Ace was very similar when I started him six months ago (he was seven when he got off the track, so we were able to start training not long after we fattened him up a bit because he was such a skinny baby). He was a little more wild than Archie though, so I haven't started any bareback or bridleless work on him yet, but I'm hoping to do that over this upcoming summer, when I can be at the barn more often.
Your story is so very inspiring to me as a beginner OTTB trainer, thanks for showing us all your progress, and I can't wait to see how Archie does in the future!
This is so sweet❤️
And your boyfriend has only ridden 3 times and he is already sitting the canter!
Thoroughbreds are great horses! I always wonder why people think they make bad riding horses, especialy off-track horses. Many racehorses I know are near bomb-proof. They can handle barking dogs, screaming children, large crowds of people, cars, trucks, all kinds of barn stuff, umbrellas, sirenes, big screens and adverts, plastic bags, ectect. They also love to learn and develop a deep connection to their handler. I´m very happy you´ve got such a great example of an ex racehorse with Archie to show to the world!
What a wonderful owner you are.... and I love the fact that you recognize that a 3 or 4 yr old is still a baby 😊😊 Also loooove how Milo seems to always have something in his mouth.... just an overgrown labrador retriever.. lol..
Archie and Milo are so cute playing together! Love it!
I love these kind of videos! So awesome to see how the progress has been and how far he has come!
Who would dislike this?
Over the Jump stupid ppl would.
Heartless ppl would.
My guess is they were clumsy and missed the like button
Probably crazy anti-bitters.
This is beautiful! Love seeing how far you guys have come, and how calm he has been for everything that you have thrown at him. I looooove the relationship Archie and Milo have!
I have an ottb and you couldn’t find a gentler, more laid back horse! Everybody who meets him, absolutely loves him! I adore ottbs ❤️❤️❤️
Love this. You're a beautiful rider to watch and have done things so correct with him. I really enjoyed this video. Do you use a microphone to record your voice or did you pull it strait off of a camera? Sounds very clear and I was interested in what you used to record it.
I use a recording app on my Mac! Thank you so much!
U have such a kind heart
What a great horse and story! So glad you are doing it “old school” by not jumping him until he is four years old. Glad that your horse Milo now has his buddy Archie. 🙂🇺🇸
You guys have come so far together and it is amazing! I'm glad that he has recovered and Milo has a new buddy!
OTTB's are the best and so rewarding to work with
I never thought I would own an OTTB because of the stereotype. I have one, an OTTB mare(mares get a bad rap as well) and never knew how wrong those stereotypes are. She is amazing. She has a good head on her. Absolutely awesome.
Looks like Archie found his dream home ❣️🌿🐎
i'm so happy for him hope everything goes very well with archie he looks great.
I knew from the first picture you posted of Archie that he was so special- I’m so excited to adopt a Ottb or rescue when I finally get out of college (8 more years- ugh). I love following your journey and seeing how far you and milo have come, it makes my day to see such an amazing person and rider with her cute ponies that she has shaped with love and kindness :)
I really love Archie! He's got such a cute babyface and is exactly the type of horse I would want for myself.
thank u for adopting him that makes my day because I love horses so thank u🐎💗💗💖💖💕
he seems like such a perfect horse! it's so incredible to watch his journey :)
I think you`re an amazing rider and it`s lovely to see how much time you`re giving him. It`s crazy to think that he already had to race twice whenever he was only 2 years old
This is such a sweet story. I’m really glad you and Archie found each other!
What a handsome boy he is love his color
That’s so cute!
I have an idea about why he’s so calm, maybe.
What if he’s so calm because, to him, the racetrack was scary? So when you got him, it was so calm and quiet he just felt at ease. :)
So sweet and the best
Aw that’s so adorable, Archie sounds like a great horse
OTTB..... ohhh, one true thorough bread🐴
i nearly cried when he met milo for the first time that was the sweetest thing i ever seen
You have such an amazing boy❤️💕
Archie looks amazing as always in this video!! Oh I wish he is on sale😂 he is such a great horse!
Wow - what a truly amazing horse! And what a beautiful boy.
My TB is exactly like him! He’s so quite and calm! He isn’t like any TB I’ve ever seen! ❤️
Milo and Archie are seriously the cutest things, you got some good horses :)
Amazing video. So eye opening! You're the best Shelby and can't wait to see were the two of you head in the future!
Aw, the goodest boyes 💞
Awwww so cute happy 1 year anniversary
I love this video!!! You guys have come so far!!!!!! 💙❤️💙💜💚💙💕💓
Archie is so sweet! You guys look amazing!
I find it so crazy that I also got my horse October 1st of last year, and their personalities are pretty much exact??? and they have the same color/markings? My noodle is 14 though, but thats pretty much their biggest difference. So glad to see how far he's come
This is almost exactly like my horse poppy, he is an ex race horse and when I got him he had been given almost 6 months off, with light work and throughout everything he has been the kindest horse I’ve ever met and you can do anything around him and he will not care
oh my gosh! my ottb chestnuts name is archie!!
The flatwork at the end was spot on 👍
This is so sweet you two are made for each other xx
Omg today’s 2 years with him congrats
My OTTB who is now 11 is the exact same way it’s amazing we can put little kids in her to advanced riders on her
This is awesome Shelby! It's amazing how he looks for such a short time with you! Super job! Rly interesting to hear your history w him ❤️
Aww💕
I revisted 'Archie', he was such a treat of a horse, brains and beauty. Do you know how he is getting on now?
We have 2 new ottb’s at our barn and they don’t eat treats either!😂😂They gotta get used to it!😂🤷♀️
Even if Archie was a million dollars I'd still buy him, he's so precious
Archie is the cutest!!
What a gem.
I ride a horse named Archie! They look stunningly similar, it's insane.
This is beautiful you train so well
What an amazing gift !
Awh! Milo is adorable. I love his goofy, dorky personality lol. xD This is a beautiful story and you guys are so lucky to have found eachother. I recently found your channel not too long ago and I gotta say you seem like a pretty chill person! That helmet parody video you made was fantastic.😂 Subbed. Keep up the great work!
Awwwww sweet my horse is called Archie too he’s cheeky mischievous and crazy I love him too bits though
Great video thank you.
Great job🐎🐎🐎🐎🙂💕🙏
A big part of him being easier is probably also you being more skilled!
Hahah oh man, that little barely-a-buck he gave to your bf was kind of hilarious, especially with how far back he was leaning, it's like Archie was tryin to get him to quit leaning 😂 what a good horse. Im not a fan of bridles, and i like that you've ridden him bridle-less. I've got a little 8mo Arabian filly and it's always fun to watch a horse grow and learn. I'm glad you are able to give him a good life :)
I love your horse
Miss him 💕💕
This is just amazing!!!!!
Yeah Apollo is the same way. He is an off track race horse but sweet as can be and calm.
I love this video! Archie is my fav...but then again I am partial to OTTBs (thoroughbreds in general really) :P
Your boyfriend leans back so much 😂
Mya Felger Hed literally ridden 3 times so I don’t think he could’ve ridden that any better haha
Shelby Dennis I was just kidding I didn’t me to sound like a hate comment I love this channel
Wow, you and Archie are great together! Someday I want to transform a racehorse to an eventer if it's not doing good on the track. Love your videos
They Are SOOO CUTE!!!
Love this video. They're so cute
Archie is so Beautiful ✌🏻And❤️
2 years tomorrow!
I love watching you riding Milo & Archie! Out of wonder is Archie gonna be a jumper?
never mind just saw end sorry for the bother
What does OTTB stand for i love watching these vids but I don't know what they stand for?
Of the track thoroughbred
He’s adorable
He's beautiful!
I have a horse named Archie and she has the same marking on her head just smaller I swear I didn’t even know about this horse
Just saw this. What’s the latest with Archie?
YESSSSSS ARCHIEEEEE
