…and this horse… what? I wanted to hear the rest of the story! I’m completing the story in my mind, but it might be a different version. Pleeeease, finish the story. 😂
That horse probably would have gone through less trainers if they had been upfront at the beginning with them. I, for one, have no problems working with "difficult" or "dangerous" horses so long as I know what I'm getting into upfront so i can take precautionsand keep myself as safe as working with a 1500lb animal allows. A lot of the time it comes down to a poor foundation and asking too much for what little the horse knows, bad riding or inexperience on the owner's part, trying too much too soon, or physical pain. I have yet to meet a horse that is unable to learn anything or is genuinely out to get me no matter how much i may joke about it sometimes. And like people horses all learn in different ways and at different paces. The last mare I worked with was a pretty little saddlebred (gaited horses are so weird feeling) who's owner had no confidence. The mare quickly learned that if her rider falls, she gets put back in the field with her buddy. Which graduated to intimidation so as not to be saddled in the first place. All it took for her was a three hr ride in a 20m circle until she stopped throwing a tantrum long enough to walk nicely just once. After that I dismounted. A week of that and suddenly she got the message that no, she wasn't going to go back to the field just because she kicked up a few times or laid her ears back or showed her teeth. After that she pretty much begrudgingly behaved and did whatever I wanted. She was well trained just used to getting her way through intimidation and very smart. Her owner couldn't believe that I had her a month and she was fine, even taught her some tricks so she could get some enrichment while using that brain for more productive things. I had a gelding a little while ago that needed to be brought right back to basic leading, standing, and being lead around because he had so many bad experiences that he had become dangerous trying to protect himself. He associated anything to do with tack, being ridden, or even led as a imminent threat to his health. The owner had bought him from a dishonest person and didn't realize what they had gotten into until too late. While I'd never put a child on that pony for an experienced rider who's aware of what they're doing he could still be a great horse. I've also had horses where I've had to tell the owner that what they want to do with it is not possible for reasons ranging from physical pain (ie one lady got a 3day eventer that had won plenty of pretty ribbons....and didnt realize that while thehorse could still do the dressage part, jumping was out of the question due to the amount of damage done to the front legs from xcountry mishaps. That's the thing about jumps that dont fall apart when they're hit) or previous harm (ie one guy who wanted a roping horse, but adopted an ex abuse case. That horse eventually became fine around ropes and stuff. But he'd never be okay to have a rope sailing by his head like a roper would need to be. That abuse was too ingrained to completely erase). Sometimes it's a really easy fix. Othertimes it's a complicated and many faceted issue. And you can't just ask the horse because they don't speak English either, and as mentioned not all owner's are upfront nor do all owner's know an accurate history.
As the years go by that ground just gets harder. I had a mustang that was beautiful all the way up to a canter, as soon as he was encouraged he couldnt get there without bucking. Twenty years later I still feel it. ❤ Finally gave up on him and let an Amish guy take him on. Wished him luck (the amish guy had been training for me, both riding and driving)
Wow. I’m glad you’re doing ok. Those owners are unbelievably irresponsible. I admire you for what you do, but I couldn’t do it. I feel safer picking up unpapered younger horses and getting them started and resold. The horses are usually safer than the people.
@amber_matthews can I ask why you don’t work with horses that buck?? I mean obviously nobody wants to be riding a bucking bronco, because of safety. But sometimes horses with issues do random stuff.
I mean I don’t get on a bucking horse and just ride the buck. If they buck I solve the problem, not give them further reason to resort to that behaviour.
GirlIIII we all know that you’re not professional and I’m going to become a choice trainer if I want stops in your professional can you just wish you were

This happens way too often! And then people still ask why we are so cautious about ‘hopping’ on their horses… 😅. Gotta love the job though..
Every amazing rider falls
You are amazing a real legand!
As a professional trainer, this is why I also have a FTJ with great health insurance; people suck.

My rule of thumb I don’t ride clients horse, I work with riders on their horse. 🇺🇸
I love your vids so much... I love horse I have 3 of my own and I'm a barrel racer. You make amazing content and your horses are so cute 😊
