    Geronimo has improved so much throughout the last 2 years. At the beginning you might have thought this was the worst idea but I now think it was one of your best ideas. You are a great horse trainer and he couldn’t have done it without you. Great job.

    By the end, I had tears. As a horse lover and a “horse mom” for 30 years, seeing stories like this, unconditional love from horse and human... This is why I stayed in the sport. Beautiful journey you two. I’ve been waiting two years for this and it was everything I hoped for and more. My love to you and Geronimo. The best is yet to come!
    Love from California🏔🌲☀️💙

    you seriously saved this pony's life. Look at the way he is so much brighter and happier he is when he is finally loved and cared for again, compared to before when he had dull eyes and was so malnourished. He is a miracle and you did such an amazing job with him ❤

    Geronimo has a lot of potential. He also has the perfect home that allows him to use that potential. Great job!

    Kudo's to you for seeing something in Geronimo and giving him chance to come into his own. He is a little man with a big heart, a good brain and a whole lotta character.

    The progress this pony has made is heartwarming especially knowing what kind of situation he was born into

    When I got my horse Legit last summer, he was malnourished and had never been taught the basics, i works alongside my trainer, taking baby steps with him, building his muscle, strength and overall restarting him training-wise. We’ve been training him for 7 to 8 months now and he’s come so far, we’re currently working on dressage and when he has a full understanding of the basics we are going to move onto a bit of jumping. My long term goal with him is to do eventing and we’ve slowly but surely been making our way towards that goal! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us!
    You have come such a far way with Geronimo it is truely heart warming and inspiring that you never gave up and kept at it with him, he’s turning into such a nice horse thanks to you! ❤️

    I am amazed, you have lots of patient for Geronimo even if he is not doing what you are asking him to do. Good job!👌

    Okay so this has just gave me every ounce of reassurance that some horses take longer to learn! And I’m up for it with my mare again!! ❤️he looks gorgeous!!

    You've done such an amazing job with Geronimo!! He's so lucky to be in your care and training. When he first was started under saddle, he reminds me so much of where my 5 y/o OTTB mare is at right now. She does the little stopping thing and is so lazy sometimes, but she will certainly be worth the patience, like Geronimo ❤️ Thanks for sharing your journey together!

  • @Mookielovescreatures

    It's so beautiful to see his personality come out more as he gets more confident there.
    I love the way you start him. Such a sympathetic trainer without the ego so many have.

    I remember watching the first few videos when you got Geronimo. He is such a good pony that you have trained. You did good and have made an amazing pony!!🤍

  • @PunkRockBarbie
    @PunkRockBarbie 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I used to help back horses for a trainer near me and her methods are similar to yours. Because of all the groundwork and trust, I never once had a horse buck. That's the way it should be done!
    Geronimo is my favorite of your horses ❤ keep doing you and give his cute little nose a kiss from a his fans!

    Glad to see Geronimo's been doing good! I saw previous videos of his progress when they were uploaded, and he sure has come a long way since I last checked this channel. He's a very pretty fella.

    What an awesome story. I have a mostly feral girl now myself. We are working towards getting her current halter off so she can accept a new one. Its tough! So much time and patience. Glad to see he has turned into a great horse😊

  • @rachael4814
    @rachael4814 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh sheesh! Don’t realize how far he’s come until you see this!
    Stephanie, you don’t realize how much you inspire me. I want to be a horse trainer now! You inspired a 13 year old to figure out her future! Thank you! ❤️

    It’s so valuable to a horse’s life to learn these skills. Now he’s out of the ‘unwanted horse’ population. He’s an in-demand kinda guy!

  • @gracie_.equine

    Wow, I can’t believe that is the same pony. You’re so impressive with just the perfect measure of gentle and patient, but firm and steadfast when it comes to things like safety. You really are an inspiration and you’ve defiantly helped change my view on horsemanship a bit with this video. You’ve gained a new subscriber I hope he keep coming along well! Would you ever take him to pony finals?

    If you dont know, tye reason for this is because their stomach is where all there organs are that keeps them alive so if you did anything he’d be badly hurt,when he did let you it means he trusts you ( ofcourse )

    Story time: I put one of my pony’s on lease and that was a very hard time for me I couldn’t sell him I would literally have a mental breakdown so I only put her on lease,
    I got a new pony instead his name is prince but we call him prince the prick cuz he is one 😃 he walks on top of you,won’t stand,bites ect. My mom is physically abused by him and he isn’t as bad with me because I’m rlly nice to him but he still rlly annoys me
