Most owners don't see the weaning and leading stages. This is where the journey begins for horses! This is the stage that everyyythinnnggggggg your horse is trained to do NOW is built upon!!! I am SO glad you did this video, Steve. It is so important!!
It really is sad that people think that they know everything, but what they don't realize is alot of variables come into play. So Steve you are so right. Thanks for such an important video that really needed to be made. Lou from Det. Mi, USA❤
As Arabian horse owner and former breeder... these 2 horses are gorgeous. I have high hopes for the filly. Her mother is the sweetest, and one thing I know about Arabians, they maybe independent and think more than any other horse... but she will be SO QUIET once you get through this and this filly will LOVE people and all of this today, she will learn from it, not be scarred from it.
I imagine the owners having been working with horses for years. We all need help sometimes. I’m so proud of these owners taking responsibility and looking for help when they needed it.
I live on the west coast of Canada and am 81 years old but would I ever love to have that little lady. I love Arabs and have had a few in my life. They are the best.
We all have unexpected difficulty occur in our lives . Don’t fix the blame-fix the problem. I lost my 37 year old daughter to cancer and then raised her 2 children. Nobody to help with my horses. They took 3rd place to the kids. I am climbing out of the pit and hope to restore my horses to be trained, not just handled.
You did the right thing. Don't let anyone tell you differently! Your horses have been handled, so the training will come more quickly, now that you have more time to devote to them. I, too, had some setbacks (my health) when I had mares and babies on the ground so they didn't get the training they needed. However, I found really good homes for all of them when I realized that my health wasn't ever going to go back to being able to care for them properly, let alone train them...
Tough times don't last but tough people do. U r amazing your daughter would be proud of u. Big hug and I'm sure u and the horses will be fine. An inspiring person like u I'm sure has the will to make anything happen.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing your daughter must have been so so painful and difficult for you, I can’t even begin to imagine your loss. On top of that, the responsibility for raising her children is huge. Her children are lucky to have you and your daughter would be proud of you for putting their needs first. I hope you have many rewarding years ahead with your horses. I hope your grandchildren appreciate you ❤
Having bred and raised Arabian horses for over 20 yrs, as well as having owned quarter horses and other breeds, the Arabia's are by far the mist intelligent horses in their ability to learn but...their inherient nature is also very reactive which in an untrained, untrusting horse can be problematic. Once you gain the trust of an Arabian most of them will be willing to do anything for you and the mist fun horse to work with. Its getting to that point is the challenge and with this filly, its going to take a lot of time and patience. Steve is wonderful and makes progresd, I just hope they can help her for the long run.

these are beautifully bred Arabian horses. So nice to see ones that don't sport the extreme dish face, that boarders on deformity, that is becoming fashionable lately much to the detriment to the breed. What a lovely filly!
The extreme dish face changes the shape of the jaw and that can cause problems with the teeth and shorten their lifespan. Sad! Therefor it is nice to se so beutiful arabian horses.
Amazing how well Karen uses mom as a shield and mom Libby is so well behaved. So glad they called for help - that takes real courage. They needed Steve because Karen looks very capable. Lots of skill and lack of history needed in this case.
@@chrisharper7950are you asking truly? I’d actually like to know the answer to your question about how they wean in the wild because I don’t know and am very curious.
@louisegogel7973 in a wild herd, there are more mares and foals roaming together, so the foals get to know each other through playing together. As they get older, they gradually start spending more time exploring further away from mum and also their digestive enzymes change to eat varied plants & less able to digest milk. It's a gradual process foal and mare. Bred in captivity, thankfully some people do have more empathy and take longer over weaning. When I was around mare's and foals, it was brutal, 6 months old & they were ripped away from each other, ready or not! But that's far better than in recent years where I've read of taking foal away at 4 months old ! To me that's horrendous. Should be observation of mare and foal together, mum has enough of the foal and wants to rest, foal is far more independent and happy with the other foals - in an ideal world!
Haven’t even got to the main part yet, but already compelled to respond following Steve’s call for no negativity…what a fantastic approach and the timing of it in the video appears to be perfect! Kudos
Well done Steve, Tanya & Karen. What a great job with a beautiful filly and her mum. What a relief it must be for the owners to know the filly now has a very positive future. 🐴❤️
Both mom and daughter are sweet minded. They are beautiful horses. Steve is so sensitive to cues from horses. He knows what they’re thinking. Good show!
The dam is an absolute LEGEND 💜 she tolerated so much, without so much as pinning an ear- but that's also why she never weaned this baby, I expect. What great brains all Karen's horses appear to have- even in her biggest fear moments, the filly never pinned, or struck out in any way. Whoever gets that beautiful girl is so lucky.
Intelligent creatures get crazy when poorly handled...a duller animal just kind of goes with it but Arabians say no XD and then they get labeled. EDIT: Referring to in general, not this one.
@@lisafoster4468 same with andalusians and PREs almost everyone appreciates their appearence but many horse people will talk bad about their behavior and character when in fact the more problematic horses have many reasons to act the way they do. Very misunderstood breeds
What a beautiful little mare, well they both are. This was incredible to watch. The smallest equine conversations seem to be the most important but the timing of them has to be spot on. Masterclass in horsemanship.
The magic of patient waiting for just the smallest sign of head turn, one foot… rope tension stopped…such a beautiful result of perfect timing… and seeing those 3-4 times and CLICK the horse gets the meaning of what is wanted/needed…Steve’s magic and experience! And such a lovely mum horse! ❤❤❤
What absolutely stunning horses. Arabians are so intelligent and have such incredible stamina, great endurance horses. I’m totally in love with that pretty little filly. If I wasn’t old and a complete wreck I would love to buy her. 🙏🙏 She will find the perfect home. Thank you yet again Steve for giving back her life. 🐴😎❤❤❤❤
Dear Steve I cannot tell you how much I respect your comments about critiquing. It is so true and very heartfelt. These situations happen. It speaks to how those owners have asked you to help, this is what we all, watching, should focus on! Thank you, This is a horse which is very important to see and watch! Thank again, I cannot say it enough.
Do they have channel somewhere else? Steve said:"..if you critique, you lose your right to watch our videos.." as it is sadly impossible to block anyone doing that in youtube when the comment section is open. Steve and Tanya are pure hearted people, thank God for them.
Brilliant Steve. So glad you didn't edit out bits where things were difficult. I'm so sick of some 'experts' who criticise anyone and everything and maintain they fon't make mistakes. Instead of talking you just work through everything without panic or getting angry. The results are proof of the pudding. So well done.
Mr Steve, Your patience, timing, and kind firmness are what this young filly needed. I’m always amazed of the outcomes and so appreciate the feedbacks you and Tanya receive. Pure joy 🤩 ❤Thank you for sharing these wonderful moments. May you all stay safe & well. Cheers! from 🇨🇦
This encounter with a young Arab really helped me understand my boy who is 16. I have had him for 4 years and he was very head shy when I got him at 12. I have worked with this and he still does some avoiding with his head at times but I think it is just him being him when he isn't "in the mood" to be loved on. He is not a real cuddly kind of guy but is the most wonderful boy when I am working with him. Always attentive and I can see that bright brain asking "what's next?" I think he was wrangled at a young age as he was born on a racing barn where TBs and Arabs were bred for racing. What I noticed about this mare is that she has an underlying sweet temperament with no kick or bite when you are asking her to do things that are very scary for her. She quickly picked up that you really were no threat to her....patience is the key working with any horse as you demonstrate so wonderfully. They connect through our heart beats which I can attest is a key component of working with horses no matter what age. The rope thing wasn't a mistake, just a happening that in the future will be beneficial when further desensitizing her in my opinion. So happy to be a part of your community and a beneficiary of your years of training these wonderful animals....thank you!! Love to you and your family!!
For some people competition is more important than the horse and they do not give it enough time. I personality do not think you should compete with horses of an age where they still got their milk teeth. (Their last milk teeth falls out at four and a half year.)
Steve - thank you so, so much for your honesty in showing everything as it is - I learn so much from you - also what a beautiful, honest filly - even though she was clearly fighting for her life she didn't once offer any aggression- go on Steve - grab her with both hands - she is stunning ❤️
That was an AMAZING video! I was so amazed at how quickly that young mare started trusting Steve! It was so heartwarming when you consider the situation. Well done!
You really think that he made progress that horse is very intelligent, she is an Arabian they are very smart horses and she is just trying to get to her mom that is the only reason she took steps towards him, I will believe it when the mom is out of the stall and he makes progress then. They need to be separated anyway because the horse is still suckling on her, that horse doesn't trust him she was trying to get to her mom but she was doing it slowly because she knew if she tried to do it fast he would stop her he she already learned that
There's nothing like seeing a good out come for horse and owner. What great team work. It's awesome to see someone who owns horses be so confident. She was amazing as was the mother horse. I think doing something like that alone isn't easy and working together in this situation was necessary. Sorry there's been health issues that caused some problems along the way. Those things can't be helped. This worked out well and what an intelligent young horse. This time i don't think the owner was lacking she just needed someone besides herself doing all the work alone. When you can whistle and get your horses to coming running proves she's very good at raising horses. I've known many who couldn't do that even after having horses for years. Just put a big smile on my face. Please let her know she's one amazing lady. I loved this video in every way. ♥ Thanks
Brilliant! I never get tired of watching your rehab VLOGs. It’s priceless how you regularly go on these circuits (for want of a better word), helping some horses/owners and handlers, overcome whatever is hampering the relationship with their horse. Obviously she has had a traumatizing experience as a foal … but you’ve clearly demonstrated breakthrough after breakdown, provided you can read and speak her language. The equine brain is the equine brain … they may all have different stories but they all see their experiences through an equine brain. You make it look so easy Steve, even though I’m sure it takes a lot to keep your concentration and focus, to keep your timing in real time, to both her reactions and actions. So glad you were all able to work this out. I honestly think the mare must have sensed something was off with this filly … normally mares typically wean their foals off naturally. It’ll be truly good to severe that bond, for both. At least now she can get her hooves done and prevent any permanent damage. There may be issues with Vets (as the smell will trigger trauma) but with time she may overcome that too … or at least allow someone she trusts, to administer whatever meds and/or procedures are required. It seems desensitizing may be the key for her. Funnily enough, the mare reminds me of one we had (Nardonna), who was a Polish bred Arabian … the chestnut filly also reminds me of another mare we had (Mandy). Really love the kinds of stalls they have … that sure is a beautiful sized foaling stall as well. Thanks for showing us the other Arabians. They obviously have a lot of love for this breed. Again appreciate you sharing your triumphs (‘coz they always are) … and making it real … the good, the bad and the ugly. Your simple techniques, that anyone can learn with practice and the dedication to timing, always comes through, in the end. Looking forward to the next VLOG … and all the best in Bristol on the 21st. When I was in England visiting my relatives in the Midwest (Coalville), in ‘85 I ventured out for a few days to see other parts of the country. I landed in Bristol instead of heading towards Bath. It sure is a beautiful city. Happy Trails! 🙏🙌✝️✡️❤️
I admire you for showing the tough training what could go bad what does go bad how to work through it you don’t just show everything rainbows and sunshine and that’s how people learn. Thank you.
Beautiful, well bred horses. I'm not particularly an Arab person, but this filly is stunning. Someone will be very lucky to partner with this girl. Well done, Steve!
Wow! Been watching you Steve since I got my QH 27 mos ago. Immensely helpful overcoming the abuse he received before me. THANK YOU….just isn’t enough. He is alive, well and doing fantastic.
I dont have a horse but you all do an amazing job with all the horses you work with. Its amazing how over time they learn to trust you when you visit. Keep up the good work
Honestly Steve I keep saying it with every video, but just when I thought you couldn’t surprise me anymore with your skills! This was a pure masterclass. The filly trusted you from the get go because you (as ever) took the time to build trust with her & she felt that. I love as well how relaxed you are & this transitions to horses & their owners. I love how she turned to you when you were close to her & at 38.20 she was completely with you & much more relaxed. I’ve been at the end of very tense equestrians which doesn’t help the horse or people around them. Great to see you all laughing when the head collar went on. What a great mare too. I love how you say no judgement to the owner because this filly has obviously had some health issues & trauma from that. But seeing to her health was important or she’d maybe not be here. Also I noticed this filly didn’t feel the need to kick out, just flight.
No judgment from me, I was still breastfeeding one of my children at 18 months old and many people were so willing to ridicule. We also had health concerns with that one child and when people said anything I just said "Thanks for minding my business but could you please learn to mind your own now" They usually didn't know if I was being a smarty pants or offering a compliment. 😂😂 I can not get over how pretty the little filly is, her mum is a saint just standing there. Well done to the owners for taking great care of their horses. Wonderful work as always. 💕💕 Hahaha I thought the owner almost missed that little nugget of a joke. Too funny. 😂😂
18 months is normal if not very short to breastfeed a child in my understanding of the healthiest human upbringing. babies do best when they can breast-feed on demand and they naturally win them themselves over the next four years. In the beginning, it seems they breast-feed all the time. As time goes on and they grow, aside from growth spurts and illnesses, the length of time and frequency diminishes to the point that at three years old, they might just be breast-feeding for just a few minutes once a day, to just a few times a week. I did this with my four children, and it helped them have a very strong stable beginning foundation from which they have thrived and became incredibly competent independent grown-ups.
Fantastic but I knew you would succeed and what a beauty all the horses looked great and Karen was very good she knows what to do she iisened to you. Well done ❤❤❤
She's a beauty!! She fell madly in love with you Steve, within the first 5 mins. They are so intelligent. Oh boy, how I wish. I'm sure she'll find someone to care for her and bring her on with loads of love and understanding. Thanks so much for your videos.
It was just so good to see every stage and small details. Thank you Steve and Tanya. Karen was great. Loved her relaxed attitude and confidence at the end. Steve, my Yorkshire grandmother used to say Patience on a monument but for us if we had none? You should have a statue as a monument to your skill and patience. It’s is so wonderful and your kindness. Always.
Beautiful work. Beautiful horse. To Karen's credit, the filly never kicked nor tried to hurt anyone. It may take some time for the filly to become more confident, but I think they will be able to do some farrier work soon. Well done all around. Karen and the other handlers of the filly understand that especially with Arabs, "be careful what you teach them! "
That horse is golden. Atentive and smart. This video realy shows how important it is to teach a horse in small stepps that are understandable with correct timing. Beutiful to watch.
Totally agree with everything Steve is explaining. I have a horse who was not weaned till he was 3. It has been very hard as his mum was boss of the herd and he followed mum's lead. Humans meant nothing to him. Since finding Steve it's making such a difference with him. Thank you Steve. You are making a huge difference to horses and ponies lives.
That is a good story. Thank you. Beautiful mare and wonderful mother. And what a gorgeous filly she made. Surely this filly will be a truly magnificent horse, if her future owner is as competent and kind as you.
Steve your lasso skills are cowboy like. 🤠 God bless the owner for going to these lengths to help these horses. The mama looks really ready for this. ❤
I have such high regard for Steve and Tanya Thank You for bringing hope and futures for these troubled Horses and their owner’s You are always the Answer with you’re patience and Expertise ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was a masterclass of perfect timing right at the start once the rope was on ! I never get tired of watching your timing Steve. Sounds like this beautiful filly has had a very difficult start to her life bless her 🙏 . Imagine how terrifying it was for her with being held down and forced veterinary treatment. We don't know all the circumstances and its not for anyone to judge, people are very quick to criticise but very slow to step up and offer help. Once she's got a trusting bond with someone, she'll be an absolute love. Karen is very calm and positive with them, I bet all the horses love her.
Such a fabulous video. Karen certainly has the mare well taught verbally to stand and back and the mare clearly understands what is going on, she'll be free of the foal soon enough and needs some real rest and recuperation. The foal slowly beginning to understand what needs to happen to get release and that Steve is a good guy. I admire the owners and Karen in asking for help. Life happens to all of us and we sometimes all need a little help. Gorgeous horses too.
Oh, that beautiful filly! How sad she has been so troubled. She's my ideal dream horse in breed, size, and color. She'll be so much a happier horse with your training.
A diamond in the rough, such a gorgeous filly. I'm not a professional but I can't fault her confirmation, at all she's put together nicely. Subscribed!
I didn't have a doubt that you could help the horse and owners. Great video, thank you Steve and Tanya...beautiful!I think every man would like a longer lead🤣🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
A lovely video, a BEAUTIFUL filly, and I can relate as I had a homebred with a serious illness from day one, so her first experience with humans was negative, and it is only normal that she didn´t want anyone getting their hands on her. Thank goodness for Steve and Tanya. Also what a lovely patient mare.
You are watching one of the best natural horsemanship trainers out there. His timing is the best I’ve seen. He uses the least amount of pressure yet still gets it done rather quickly. He’s my favorite.
Aww that was one of the most humbling videos I have seen, you are saving the lives of so many horses and ponies. The equine world needs more people like you -x-
This poor thing was so worried but she can see the world in a better light now. When I saw her beautiful face, I fell in love. That is the cutest face I've seen in a long time.❤

For crying out loud…..how does a baby wean in the wild?
@@chrisharper7950 Irrelevant. These horses are not in the wild and have never experienced wild herd life.
@@chrisharper7950I thought wild horses know when to drive away colts and fillies in order to put energy into the new baby they are pregnant with.
@@chrisharper7950are you asking truly?
I’d actually like to know the answer to your question about how they wean in the wild because I don’t know and am very curious.

I think he was wrangled at a young age as he was born on a racing barn where TBs and Arabs were bred for racing. What I noticed about this mare is that she has an underlying sweet temperament with no kick or bite when you are asking her to do things that are very scary for her. She quickly picked up that you really were no threat to her....patience is the key working with any horse as you demonstrate so wonderfully. They connect through our heart beats which I can attest is a key component of working with horses no matter what age. The rope thing wasn't a mistake, just a happening that in the future will be beneficial when further desensitizing her in my opinion. So happy to be a part of your community and a beneficiary of your years of training these wonderful animals....thank you!! Love to you and your family!!
For some people competition is more important than the horse and they do not give it enough time. I personality do not think you should compete with horses of an age where they still got their milk teeth. (Their last milk teeth falls out at four and a half year.)
A little hell can happen in anyones life , Thank God so can. A lot of heavenly blessings, thank you for being HIS hands AMEN 🙏
Steve - thank you so, so much for your honesty in showing everything as it is - I learn so much from you - also what a beautiful, honest filly - even though she was clearly fighting for her life she didn't once offer any aggression- go on Steve - grab her with both hands - she is stunning ❤️
That was an AMAZING video! I was so amazed at how quickly that young mare started trusting Steve! It was so heartwarming when you consider the situation. Well done!
You really think that he made progress that horse is very intelligent, she is an Arabian they are very smart horses and she is just trying to get to her mom that is the only reason she took steps towards him, I will believe it when the mom is out of the stall and he makes progress then. They need to be separated anyway because the horse is still suckling on her, that horse doesn't trust him she was trying to get to her mom but she was doing it slowly because she knew if she tried to do it fast he would stop her he she already learned that
There's nothing like seeing a good out come for horse and owner. What great team work. It's awesome to see someone who owns horses be so confident. She was amazing as was the mother horse. I think doing something like that alone isn't easy and working together in this situation was necessary. Sorry there's been health issues that caused some problems along the way. Those things can't be helped. This worked out well and what an intelligent young horse. This time i don't think the owner was lacking she just needed someone besides herself doing all the work alone. When you can whistle and get your horses to coming running proves she's very good at raising horses. I've known many who couldn't do that even after having horses for years. Just put a big smile on my face. Please let her know she's one amazing lady. I loved this video in every way. ♥ Thanks
The intensity that filly watched Steve is amazing.
I was privileged to go to a number of Ray Hunt clinics, back in the day. "Reward the slightest try" he would demonstrate. Like this! Beautiful!
Brilliant! I never get tired of watching your rehab VLOGs. It’s priceless how you regularly go on these circuits (for want of a better word), helping some horses/owners and handlers, overcome whatever is hampering the relationship with their horse.
Obviously she has had a traumatizing experience as a foal … but you’ve clearly demonstrated breakthrough after breakdown, provided you can read and speak her language.
The equine brain is the equine brain … they may all have different stories but they all see their experiences through an equine brain.
You make it look so easy Steve, even though I’m sure it takes a lot to keep your concentration and focus, to keep your timing in real time, to both her reactions and actions.
So glad you were all able to work this out. I honestly think the mare must have sensed something was off with this filly … normally mares typically wean their foals off naturally. It’ll be truly good to severe that bond, for both.
At least now she can get her hooves done and prevent any permanent damage. There may be issues with Vets (as the smell will trigger trauma) but with time she may overcome that too … or at least allow someone she trusts, to administer whatever meds and/or procedures are required. It seems desensitizing may be the key for her.
Funnily enough, the mare reminds me of one we had (Nardonna), who was a Polish bred Arabian … the chestnut filly also reminds me of another mare we had (Mandy). Really love the kinds of stalls they have … that sure is a beautiful sized foaling stall as well.
Thanks for showing us the other Arabians. They obviously have a lot of love for this breed.
Again appreciate you sharing your triumphs (‘coz they always are) … and making it real … the good, the bad and the ugly. Your simple techniques, that anyone can learn with practice and the dedication to timing, always comes through, in the end.
Looking forward to the next VLOG … and all the best in Bristol on the 21st. When I was in England visiting my relatives in the Midwest (Coalville), in ‘85 I ventured out for a few days to see other parts of the country. I landed in Bristol instead of heading towards Bath. It sure is a beautiful city.
Happy Trails! 🙏🙌✝️✡️❤️
I admire you for showing the tough training what could go bad what does go bad how to work through it you don’t just show everything rainbows and sunshine and that’s how people learn. Thank you.
W0W!!! ...that was amazing for baby, moma, and humans!!! :)
Beautiful, well bred horses. I'm not particularly an Arab person, but this filly is stunning. Someone will be very lucky to partner with this girl. Well done, Steve!
Wow! Been watching you Steve since I got my QH 27 mos ago. Immensely helpful overcoming the abuse he received before me. THANK YOU….just isn’t enough. He is alive, well and doing fantastic.
What a beautiful mare and foal! Stunning! I think that young filly is going to be a calm horse someday, just like her mother.
She's a smart cookie.
Awesome work with that lovely Arab filly, she really needed that and it worked well, glad she is doing so good, ❤❤❤
God has definitely endowed Steve with a gift for reading a horse's fears and bad memories I so enjoy these videos It's fascinating 🙏💝💪💝🙏
I dont have a horse but you all do an amazing job with all the horses you work with. Its amazing how over time they learn to trust you when you visit. Keep up the good work
Well done Steve, what a difference you made to that gorgeous filly, helped show her the way, and well done to Karen too 😊
Really fun to watch. Karen was a good partner! Very calm.
Honestly Steve I keep saying it with every video, but just when I thought you couldn’t surprise me anymore with your skills! This was a pure masterclass. The filly trusted you from the get go because you (as ever) took the time to build trust with her & she felt that. I love as well how relaxed you are & this transitions to horses & their owners. I love how she turned to you when you were close to her & at 38.20 she was completely with you & much more relaxed. I’ve been at the end of very tense equestrians which doesn’t help the horse or people around them. Great to see you all laughing when the head collar went on. What a great mare too. I love how you say no judgement to the owner because this filly has obviously had some health issues & trauma from that. But seeing to her health was important or she’d maybe not be here. Also I noticed this filly didn’t feel the need to kick out, just flight.
mr young, your anticipation of the horses next move shows your incredible knowledge and experience.
Lifesaver for all.
No judgment from me, I was still breastfeeding one of my children at 18 months old and many people were so willing to ridicule. We also had health concerns with that one child and when people said anything I just said "Thanks for minding my business but could you please learn to mind your own now" They usually didn't know if I was being a smarty pants or offering a compliment. 😂😂 I can not get over how pretty the little filly is, her mum is a saint just standing there. Well done to the owners for taking great care of their horses. Wonderful work as always. 💕💕 Hahaha I thought the owner almost missed that little nugget of a joke. Too funny. 😂😂
Only humans think there is a certain age. Mom will say when enough is enough.
18 months is normal if not very short to breastfeed a child in my understanding of the healthiest human upbringing. babies do best when they can breast-feed on demand and they naturally win them themselves over the next four years.
In the beginning, it seems they breast-feed all the time. As time goes on and they grow, aside from growth spurts and illnesses, the length of time and frequency diminishes to the point that at three years old, they might just be breast-feeding for just a few minutes once a day, to just a few times a week. I did this with my four children, and it helped them have a very strong stable beginning foundation from which they have thrived and became incredibly competent independent grown-ups.
Now it’s 6mo-2y… You were right all along!! Good for you mom❤
Beautiful filly, very smart and scared! If anyone can help certainly it would be Steve! That mama is one chill lady❤
Fabulous!! Yes we grow. From mistakes we make
Fantastic but I knew you would succeed and what a beauty all the horses looked great and Karen was very good she knows what to do she iisened to you. Well done ❤❤❤
She's a beauty!! She fell madly in love with you Steve, within the first 5 mins. They are so intelligent. Oh boy, how I wish. I'm sure she'll find someone to care for her and bring her on with loads of love and understanding. Thanks so much for your videos.
It was just so good to see every stage and small details. Thank you Steve and Tanya. Karen was great. Loved her relaxed attitude and confidence at the end. Steve, my Yorkshire grandmother used to say Patience on a monument but for us if we had none? You should have a statue as a monument to your skill and patience. It’s is so wonderful and your kindness. Always.
That sweet Arabain filly had such a confusing start to her life. Thanks, Steve, for helping her get past such a huge obstacle.
Oh my...what a difficult situation. I am looking forward to watching what happens!
Beautiful work. Beautiful horse. To Karen's credit, the filly never kicked nor tried to hurt anyone. It may take some time for the filly to become more confident, but I think they will be able to do some farrier work soon. Well done all around. Karen and the other handlers of the filly understand that especially with Arabs, "be careful what you teach them! "
That horse is golden. Atentive and smart. This video realy shows how important it is to teach a horse in small stepps that are understandable with correct timing. Beutiful to watch.
Totally agree with everything Steve is explaining. I have a horse who was not weaned till he was 3. It has been very hard as his mum was boss of the herd and he followed mum's lead. Humans meant nothing to him. Since finding Steve it's making such a difference with him.
Thank you Steve. You are making a huge difference to horses and ponies lives.
That is a good story. Thank you. Beautiful mare and wonderful mother. And what a gorgeous filly she made. Surely this filly will be a truly magnificent horse, if her future owner is as competent and kind as you.
Steve, thank you for all you do; your insight and wisdom in your videos.
Never could have done this with that insanely good mare mom. Holy crap she was so stellar. And sure he appreciates her.
A wonderful display of patience and know how. The history element is so important. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for helping all the horses and owners.💜😊💜
Steve Young in my opinion is the best horse trainer there is-world wide. I love watching him. ❤
What an intelligent horse ! Just a shame you couldn’t take her.
Steve your lasso skills are cowboy like. 🤠 God bless the owner for going to these lengths to help these horses. The mama looks really ready for this. ❤
Steve your approach to mistakes is awesome. I always feel that without mistakes we never know the right way. Thank you and Tanya for being awesome ❤
Such a good video! Thank you for helping them all. It shows a bit of why weaning is a very important process in a horse’s life, especially that one.
I have such high regard for Steve and Tanya
Thank You for bringing hope and futures for these troubled Horses and their owner’s
You are always the Answer with you’re patience and Expertise
❤❤❤❤❤❤
really beautiful horses...it's always amazing seeing Steve working with horses ❤👋🇨🇭

That was a masterclass of perfect timing right at the start once the rope was on ! I never get tired of watching your timing Steve.
Sounds like this beautiful filly has had a very difficult start to her life bless her 🙏 .
Imagine how terrifying it was for her with being held down and forced veterinary treatment. We don't know all the circumstances and its not for anyone to judge, people are very quick to criticise but very slow to step up and offer help.
Once she's got a trusting bond with someone, she'll be an absolute love. Karen is very calm and positive with them, I bet all the horses love her.
I think what impresses me the most about Steve is his humility. Unassuming and quietly confident. If only the world had more men like this.
Your work with these horses is spectacular! I love that you teach the owners how to work with them and we get to see all that in action. Bravo!
Aw she's lovely and I hope that this just the beginning of a very happy future.
It must be such an amazing feeling when the horse finally responds the way you’re asking it ❤ I heard the joy and relief in your response 🙏👍🏼
Wonderful and Karen is awesome.
Such a fabulous video. Karen certainly has the mare well taught verbally to stand and back and the mare clearly understands what is going on, she'll be free of the foal soon enough and needs some real rest and recuperation. The foal slowly beginning to understand what needs to happen to get release and that Steve is a good guy. I admire the owners and Karen in asking for help. Life happens to all of us and we sometimes all need a little help. Gorgeous horses too.
What a beautiful filly! I am so glad for her that she got sorted so well by Steve and can now have a normal life!
What a beautiful coat on that sweet filly. Congratulations on another job well done!
Oh, that beautiful filly! How sad she has been so troubled. She's my ideal dream horse in breed, size, and color. She'll be so much a happier horse with your training.
A diamond in the rough, such a gorgeous filly. I'm not a professional but I can't fault her confirmation, at all she's put together nicely. Subscribed!
I didn't have a doubt that you could help the horse and owners. Great video, thank you Steve and Tanya...beautiful!I think every man would like a longer lead🤣🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
The Mom’s looking over the door saying somebody help! 😂
You SAVED that horses LIFE, STEVE!!! Another WONDERFUL SAVE!! SHE is a BEAUTY!! Hope You & Tanya are doing WELL! HUGS from TEXAS!
Such a beauty! Mom, too. I’m partial to Bays. I love your “See. Chuckle with joy.”. ❤❤❤❤
A lovely video, a BEAUTIFUL filly, and I can relate as I had a homebred with a serious illness from day one, so her first experience with humans was negative, and it is only normal that she didn´t want anyone getting their hands on her. Thank goodness for Steve and Tanya. Also what a lovely patient mare.
She is a real beauty!
Incredible little girl, she is a proper belter ...
What a beautiful filly! 💝So very special! You did a great job! 🙏This was one of my favorite video so far ❤
I love this Chanel and I don’t even have a horse 😂😂
You are watching one of the best natural horsemanship trainers out there. His timing is the best I’ve seen. He uses the least amount of pressure yet still gets it done rather quickly. He’s my favorite.
Super job everyone. tyvm for sharing this journey with us. 💚 Blessings and healing to the farm owner!!!
Aww that was one of the most humbling videos I have seen, you are saving the lives of so many horses and ponies. The equine world needs more people like you -x-
How amazing. Everyone , including her mum,did such a great job for a beautiful girl
This was beautiful to watch. I think that horse would have loved to have been yours. Thank you for saving her. 🐎❤️
This poor thing was so worried but she can see the world in a better light now. When I saw her beautiful face, I fell in love. That is the cutest face I've seen in a long time.❤
