The horse can sense that you are comfortable doing the job, and so he does his.
Yes I think so.
if we could only get everybody to try it, 'just doin' m'job',
what a world this would be!
at least we can inch things along in that direction
thanks for another good video
You bet and thank you. I agree, lets just all do our job.
Your so fortunate to be able to go work the colts at a sale barn. He’s figured out real quick he’s got a job to do and seems happy to do it.
yes it is very fortunate to have that barn so near.
So many things to love about this video. First just seeing what life is like in a world I wouldn't otherwise ever see. Also, you are riding with clear intention but softly. And that horse seems to put every foot exactly where you need it to be.
Anything can be fun if you try a little
I think your quiet confidence translates well to your colt's perception as to whether this new experience is something to be anxious about. Good point about not Trying to train , but just doing a job. I'm impressed at the way that colt works off your leg if he is as green as you say.
he was a good colt
thank you
Another thumbs up video. First the foundation, then give them a job that enlarges their horizons.
Thank you. The sale barn is not very romantic but its good work for colts.
Awesomeness aplenty Brett and Amy
Thank you sir
That is a really good video! I have spent a lot of hours at the stockyards. I worked on the yarding back side, and it allowed me to go a little slower than the penning side. It was perfect for colts. I think the main thing is to try to set your young horses up for success. Don’t put them in a bad situation like trying to push a mean cow or bull. If the other hands were on colts, I would usually be on a seasoned horse and vice versa. As stupid as it sounds, I think those colts look up to those older nice horses, and it helps build their confidence. As Clint Eastwood said, “A man has got to know his limitations.” I think he needs to know his horse’s limitations too.
yarding back is a lot easier for those little guys for sure. Good insight and thanks for the comment.
@@HorsemanshipAsAnArt Thanks for making these videos. I always learn something from watching them.
I am certainly glad of that, you are very welcome@@CGunRanch
What a fine youngster there. He’s on his way and someone will be fortunate to have him. Always look forward to your videos man. Also any update on the next book in the series? The Started Colt was outstanding!
Glad you like the videos and the book. Next book is nearly done.
The riddle? You were just doing your job....and not nit picking at/on the colt?
Yep
Inspiring !
Thank you.
Awesome approach
Thank you
This is such a good video, thanks for posting!
You are very welcome and thank you for the kind words.
That was beautiful maybe not the right word but that’s what I would call it
Thank you
When I was in my early 20s ride alot of colts at the barns. Would buy a unbroke colt ride it at home maybe 2 weeks then it went to work. You would have to ride in those places to truly understand the just do your job. You sure have a broke handy colt in 90 days doing that. More than about 90 days of it they would start to sour but I was working 3 barns 5 to 6 days a week usually riding 6 head
Thats a lot of time in a sale barn. Texas I reckon. How many miles in that rout? Yeah you can sure get one broke there but like you say they will sour on you, I hear the same about a feed lot but have never worked in one.
@@HorsemanshipAsAnArt I was in Oklahoma had 4 sale barns within 30 miles within 60 about 15. Seems every mid size town has one. Never rode feed lot ether but am sure they would sour about as fast. My son works at the barn in marrana AZ and hates them company horses that have been there years
I know the barn in Marrana.@@Andrew-sanders
Probably know your son
@@HorsemanshipAsAnArt ya if you get around there much you know Patrick he has worked there about 6 years now. If Jose is around he would be. They kinda are inseparable don't matter where there or out on the ranch
Nice colt. I have always been of the mind set that if you keep a cool head, the horse will generally keep a cool head. Why create drama?
can't agree more.
You doing your job with a partner, he's on the payroll
That was sure a nice colt. He is on the payroll with his owner now.
The holstein bulls always tried to knock my horses down. It really was a great place to help colts.
Holstien bulls are the worst. I try to stay away from them.
Absolutely nothing builds more confident , happier, better broke, better minded horses than to give them a job they can handle. Shout it out louder for the folks in the back please! This also goes for horses that will have a career in the showpen, not just ranch horses in my opinion.
I take a lot of the show horses down there to remind them where they came from.
Make sure the horse has all its vaccinations current, because you could be riding into a "petrie dish" of equine diseases.
Horses need a job!
they sure do
Yes. Occasionally you'll hear someone say that horses "need to be ridden". No they don't; that's ignorant. But they sure seem to thrive on having a job.
