The important thing is that she realized she needed help and sought a professional to work through the issues regardless of what they are and learning new skills to improve. Always love a good Ryan Rose video!!!

I am old and old school. Back in my cowboyin years a guy would get his "string" of 5 or 6 horses and it was up to you to make them useful and safe work partners. I just got in the habit over the years of tacking up before breakfast and let them set in the corral while I ate. Then I would come out and just spend two or three minutes on very basic ground work just like this. It established who would be the boss that day and got them focused on me before I climbed aboard. Even though I had strings with a couple of really fractious youngsters in them, I never had issues. If I was just doing some actually training that day and no matter how calm or advanced a horse was, I would begin this way just to set the tone for the training by giving them something to do that I know they could do successfully before we moved on to new things or problem solving.
@@weplaytowin first, I never tie a horse up using the reins. If that horse is sucking back at the rail a bit can do a lot of damage to its mouth. Horses' natural defense is to RUN. WHen tied you have taken away it's ability to defend itself. I did have one horse that would fight being tied. I found he just objected to the idea. I could just lay his halter rope over the rail untied and he would stand there all day. First thing to do is find out what is making it decide it needs to get away, Problem is it could be about anything. things like this need a lot more information and to actually be there to see what the setup is. I would start just laying the rope over the rail. get a lawn chair and a beer and see what he does. If he leaves the rail, where does he go? WHat else was going on when he moved. I've worked horses that didn't like you to face them when putting on the bridle. I've had them that fought the rail while tacking up but would stand tied the rest of the day tied. It's detective work but it's not an unsolvable problem.
@@weplaytowin just to put a ribbon on it, when I ran into a horse that was just reacting to things around the ranch the way he should I just "re-started" like a colt from the feet up and looked for the holes in his training and experience. I also started my younger horses with ground tying and never tied them off hard until I could stop them while dismounted with voice and hand signals. On a working ranch you may be out doctoring steers miles from home on your own and you gotta be off your horse working. You sure don't want them taking the notion to go back to the barn without you. To me, standing tied, stopping and backing are connected

This video demonstrates why vets should always be questioned. This horse has had extensive treatment and multiple months of recovery time. Yet, at a slow "trot" he's still stepping short and stabbing his right hind into the ground. It's obvious the medical treatment isn't working. BTW, Ryan did a great job of showing the owner how to control her horse. He's a very good horseman/instructor. As a side note, stem cell therapy is a crap-shoot at best. It sometimes works great... and sometimes doesn't work at all.
@@ryanrosehorsemanship Hi Ryan, thanks for the offer but I'm not sure. I'd like to do it but I'm swamped right now.

@@ltrocha you are a well known horsetrainer and you don't know what DSLD is (degenerative suspension ligament desmitis)?! I think that is bullshit. I suggest you educate yourself.
It’s curious that she keeps saying “good boy” when he’s not! Reminds me of dog owners unconsciously praising and reinforcing bad behavior! I hope he’s able to heal and have a good quality of life
"When hes not" 😅 the horse is just naturally full of pent up energy being on stall rest and doesnt actually understand the words good boy anyway. Shes a empathetic owner and doesnt loose her temper which is great 😊
@@RYAN-gz5sx Do you see how dangerous that is? Look how big that horse is holy smokes. Ya empathy is fine but not to the point of being in danger. Yes let's baby him till we need super nanny to come show me how to make him behave because imma baby the buhgeezus outta him 🤦♀️.
I like how Ryan is always explaining things and very often he asks if does that make sense to the person. It's such better way to ask if they understood not only what he said but that it also makes sense to them too. He is really making sure that those people understand everything and are engaged in that training too even tho he is handling their horse.
As an educator I can say you’re teaching is excellent. I grew up with horses but have not had any in my adult life (sadly). But I train my dogs as if they were horses. I love watching your videos. The principles are super helpful. Love that you me Ruined a dog training example midway! It’s so true.
I just recently found Ryan Rose, and was so very impressed by him. I am not big on spending money on subscriptions, but I immediately went and joined his Patreon. I really like how he works with the horse, and is always willing to do what is necessary for the horse, not what seems easiest. Which, of course, makes it easier anyway. He communicates, not demands.
I had a horse on stall rest for 6 months. When I started hand walking it was a nightmare. People would clear the arena. What do you expect? It took time, he was locked up for 6 months due to a coffin bone fracture. Great lesson here.
What a great video, love this lady, she’s so good with her horse and so in tune with him, she listened to Ryan so well and applied everything brilliantly. Great video to keep an owner safe during in hand walking, I’ve seen some real horrible accidents happen on yards when horses have been on box rest.
This is a "real life" situation and a strong willed horse. Great teaching video, because correcting him once, didn't make it perfect, just gave him something to think about. That's how it happens with most people/horses. I appreciate how the trainer keeps it real and explains everything. That's alot of horse. The owner keeps her cool, does her best and sought out help. Had obviously spent alot of time and money on him. That being said, I would stop the "good boys". He may not understand the words but he understands the tone. He is definitely disrespectful and dominant. I would guess that he was that way before his injury. Time off, pain, stall rest only intensified it That alot of random reaction for a horse that's sedated. Good luck and stay safe.
Small corrections early and often are much more effective and efficient than large corrections too late. Ryan is spot on. At the same time, like when she is getting him to trot, less is more with noises. If used too much, noises have less effect.
I once worked at a jumper barn that had a beautiful cross country horse that had a stifle injury, he was supposed to be hand walked daily but no one would do it because he had been locked in a stall for months and months trying to heal. He would immediately bolt, so much energy pent up, he just wanted to run and be a horse. They ended up taking him swimming, he burned his energy and stayed fit but without the impact that could worsen his injury. I wonder if that would benefit this fella, he just seems to want to run and play. Let him burn his energy in a safe low impact way, he'd probably stop blowing up.
Of course, but how do you safely get him to rehab? It requires being led and potentially trailering. It's about being able to just safety be around him in this case.
I’d like to have seen the few seconds before the horse blew up through the full recovery in slow motion so I could observe the mini warning signals from the horse and more closely watch Ryan recover the horse. Please, more slow motion inserts in general. It’s hard for me to go back and forth to replay a specific moment. Thank you
You could just see in the horse's face the first time he took off with Ryan - he was like "Wait, what? Why aren't you just stepping out of my way and letting go? What's all this?" Excellent horse, seems very sweet, but needed some guidance so that he would learn to respect space. That's important for any horse to learn, but especially the bigger ones that don't know their own strength.
I like this approach. Ensuring the owner’s safety, as well as working to prevent him from over-exerting himself and causing re-injury. It’s definitely important for people watching this at home to realize this is *not* training, and will *not yield long-term results* for behavior, but it is a good technique given the circumstances.
@@ryanrosehorsemanship I understand the emphasis was on management vs training, however, I see the horse responding to this with results consistent with training, no? Are you not implementing a little training lesson here? ( Ie don't walk all over or bolt on top of me, give to pressure, etc)
I've had horses on stall rest and walking was about the same thing. The horse has been locked up and longs to run, so this is normal behavior. I had to hand walk a 2-year old for 5 minutes twice a day - what a circus, but I stopped him as soon as I saw his neck tighten, so we got through it. You need timing.
Ryan's ability to communicate with critters, horse owners as well as his audience are a significant reason why I tune in to his videos. As a result, Ryan's vids are worthy of many replays. Good work, Ryan.
The fact that she needs to interject and provide vocal "encouragement" to the horse, demonstrates that she has boundary issues of her own. The horse should be paying full attention to the trainer with the lead, and her efforts to coax performance from the horse show that she is more concerned with appearances than may be healthy. Nearly every "problem horse" I ever observed had a human caretaker with problems.
One thing I've seen in several of these videos is a horse that's getting fly-bit. It's like a human being bitten by mosquitoes. It's a lot easier to relax and concentrate when you're not being itchy and bug-bitten.
It's really important to keep his toes pulled back with proper trims to keep stress off everything that's healing. Looks like his front feet are especially needing it right now. But even his hinds look like they need a trim.... which is where the injured leg is. Good luck. I hope he feels better and fully heals!
He looks uncomfortable when he walks even slowly. I like the swimming idea. Yeah if he needs his Hooves worked on let's get to it, LOL ... from a non Rider and non-horse owner ... even though I love horses
I appreciate the owner cares about her horse and has put a lot of money and probably time into getting the horse well. May I suggest that as Ryan is there to work with your horse be quiet, unless you have a short question - maybe Emily can answer a whispered question. - you want your horse to pay attention to Ryan not be distracted by your voice as well meaning as you probably are. Based on other comments, a second vet’s opinion can’t hurt and may give you some additional options. Good luck.
Best video I've ever seen 👏. Wow, I can't thank you enough. Kudos to the owner 👏 It makes my day to see such love and devotion given to equine babies. 🌟 ⭐️ 💫 Thank you, Ryan Rose...you're the best 👌
Amazing how well he responded and what a terrific horse woman to take such great care of her horses. I did notice all the horses there are a bit into peoples spaces outside of training.
I see a lot of things wrong here personally. Between her fidgeting with the horse at the beginning, waving the whip around carelessly, not being aware of her own body language, also reinforcing the bad behavior with “good boy” when he blows up. Dublin is being treated more like a puppy rather than a horse that needs to be handled properly while undergoing rehab. I hope this doesn’t come off as rude or mean, but 9 times out of 10 it’s never the horses fault...this is a good example of that.
I agree with most of this, except that you can’t reinforce emotion. the horse is spooking because he is emotional. I reassure my horses after they spook, because I know they were not in control of themselves. Patting my horse after she spooks isn’t going to make her spook more. It in fact calms her down. She can not decide to be scared more often because she doesn’t get in trouble for being scared; can you make yourself terrified on cue in order to get a treat? Getting after a horse for spooking will only make them more flighty and fearful. You have to help them learn to cope with their fear, and that will never happen by adding pressure
Personally, I'd be wearing a riding helmet while handling this gelding....and apply fly repellant ointment to his ears/fly spray his body so he wasn't so distracted. The other horses are swishing tails and stomping, so I'm assuming the insects are hassling them, it's not purely a case of frustration on the gelding's part.... Nice horse, very intelligent...and lucky to have a devoted human....
Really enjoy your good approach, Ryan. I've been with horses for almost 60 years and your approach is finally so sane. Cannot stand the 'marketing guys' who are all talk and all garbage around horses.
After your (Ryan’s) comments in physical fitness I have to comment. After decades of sitting through long work days and a couch-potato life, I’d struggle to get through even what you’d done in the video to that point. I’m thrilled at all the “exercise” my wife’s been getting doing ground work with our (her!) horse since she’s been even less fit than me.
Hi, I have an alpha mare who was taken off grass over Spring and summer and fed magnesium supplements. She is very alert and edged sometimes. However, after 4 months of regular magnesium supplements she became very calm but then would have sudden outburst of very skittish behaviour, coupled with losing her sense of perception at jumps and even the smallest of banks. I took her off the magnesium, put her back on grass( not the fresh stuff), gave her 4 months off over winter. I have now brought her back into work (4 months) and I finally have my old horse back. Sedatives can have adverse effects on a horses ability to think appropriately. Love watching your work.
I resent bought a horse. 22yrs old Tennessee Walker. I was told to get one to help my 2 girls and I ti recover from the death of my husband. Your video sure helps me. Thank you
What an amazing owner! I see it so often when people get themselves into these situations and it's because they have too much horse and not enough experience. She understood the assignment perfectly because she's a good equestrian with knowledge. She gets it, she knows the concepts, knows and clearly loves her horse, she just needed another perspective to help her put it all together. There's no shame in that, getting a bit of outside help is smart and done out of care. Sometimes it takes another set of eyes to see and remind you of what you already know. It just helps things click. He's a lucky boy! His owner loves him, knows what she's doing and learns quick. Her calmness around him is everything! I would love to see a future update with her possibly back under saddle. He's gorgeous, seems like he wants to please, he just needs guidance. She's loving and calm, but also capable of being firm when necessary. Never underestimate ground work. My hope is that he makes a full recovery because these two will be a beautiful partnership under saddle.❤️
Great video to see both the knowledge of Ryan and Emily! The lady is also excellent however we tend to forget that this is a large animal and we continue to love on them when sometimes they need more of a leadership role. Likely because of his injury to baby him up…I am guilty of same. I think this horse just felt a tad unsure of the leaderships role and would blow up because he needed to survive the day as he didn’t think his owner was in charge. This is why he would push into her space to check the role and she allowed it with a good boy comment when clearly what Ryan did was reassure that it’s not acceptable now or ever regardless of the situation. Great to see a quick lesson learned and see the calmness and relief soon after. Great job to all and beautiful horse you are Dublin!
Stall rest must be so frustrating for the horse. Must be hard for him to manage himself. Think some of us might want to act out if we were being cooped up and didn't understand why. It was good to see how to work through this and hopefully his rehab can now be managed successfully. It would be a shame after all the long treatment if the result got compromised by the horse not coping and acting out. Nothing wrong IMO in soothing your horse with gentle tones. Telling how he is still a good horse ought to remind us we don't blame horses for their behaviour. It's them communicating something; usually fear. The handlers job surely is to help them through difficult issues and not to blame or punish? I liked the owners attitude and her willingness to learn.
Yes, it's so frustrating for both horse and owner. If he jumps on the owner and she ends up convalescing as well as horse, a bad situation will be made worse.
I’ve watched a few of these vids on how to deal with difficult horses and this is one of the best; simple, concise and well explained, it all makes perfect sense and we can see the techniques working in practice. I took quite a lot from this. But I’m just wondering if the other horses being so close by might be a distraction?
Wow what a fantastic video in having the pleasure of seeing Ryan and Emily working together on this horse’s recovery! The owner is awesome too and it’s obvious she adores this beautiful horse. Thank you so much for this video! God bless❤️
When a horse is that distracted by gnats or flies, he’s not with you. He is shaking his head every few seconds. Get that under control and he will listen better.
Gosh, I went through EXACTLY the same suspensory injury/stall rest/hand walking journey for 3 mos. It was a HUGE challenge managing my horse for his 2 x 20 minute walkabouts each day. It never occurred to me to take him out with a snaffle! So simple and so logical....now that I see it done. Why didn't I think of that? It's like, I cld've had a V8 🤨
My husband bought a horse after hip replacement for myself and I haven't had a chance To ride him. So I'm very excited about these lessons you've taught me
I’m not a professional horse trainer but one thing I noticed in this video is that the horse seemed very reactive to the whip in her hand. When she walked up on the right side of horse with the whip in her hand. She raised her whip a lil bit and that’s when the horse exploded next to Ryan. When she was working with the horse without the whip the horse got a lot better cause he realized there was no whip in her hand. So perhaps the horse just needs to get desensitized to a whip for groundwork and also just needs to be lead with just a lead rope. Not be led with whip and lead rope.
LOL, just because you said no comments...me over here thinking...glad I am not the only one out of breath. Great vid, appreciate the sound instructions n thoughts - restarting an OTTB that was handled rough, so a lot of communication, love n time to make him my forever guy!
I had a 8year old lusitano, who wasn’t trained nor ridden at that time. Appealed to have the same behaviour, lack of boundaries, outbursts, etc… But I put so much time into making him clear what is Ok and whatnot and he learned it so quick!! Everyone said he’s dangerous and I mean, maybe he was - but that was due to a bad education. Educate your horses. All that effort and time put into is going to pay off, I promise. Just don’t give up if you can’t do it on the first try. Try to be patient, as if you’d be talking to a 3 year old girl - repeat it again and again. Also: when a horse does something right, give him a cuddle and a treat, so it understands what he has to do next time. It may seem unimportant, but even to ‘control’ a horse, you have to make that clear. And if you can’t do it alone, don’t be ashamed to ask for help. Better do it right, then to fuck it up real bad.
Never mind the physical limitations of this horse it was a great video on a horse that can be pushy. I am wondering if I should connect the snaffle to the lead rope since my horse tends to be very looky and distracted when I try to work him and do that head lowering.
I certainly don’t profess to have the depth of experience that many of the commenters here have. That having been said, this horse may have the equine version of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. He learned certain behavior would help him avoid pain. He is a beauty. Glad his owners value him. I also notice he is being terribly annoyed by flies.
He is a strong willed but good natured horse in the sense that he loves to be petted and things like that, he just needs to build his confidence back up after all he has been through .
Loved this horse. Draught crosses are super smart. Nice to see good horse trainers all train the same way. Slightly different lyrics but the same song. For the owner I would teach him clear verbal cues for walk, trot and halt. It makes a world of difference in situations like this. I would also stay on the horses outside shoulder, Ive found for a woman it gives better control and is safer. Very nice horse.
So fun to see each of the sessions begin with a horse who is not connected to and disinterested in Ryan end up when turned loose seeking friendly contact with their new Ryan friend.
Ryan shows such patience, both with the horses he works with as well as their owners. This owner’s heart is obviously in the right place, but her praising Dublin with a “good-boy” when he wasn’t doing anything good and sometimes was being disrespectful was so confusing. And her micromanaging Dublin from the sidelines while Ryan was supposed to be the one in charge was distracting. Again, she obviously has a big heart and I always appreciate ones who are willing to allow Ryan to share these videos with us.
I absolutely had the same thought and also wondered if she really realized she was doing that. She herself seems to have an insecurity of situations/events that results in said micromanagement.
The 2 horses together at the end looked identical. Related somehow? Really enjoyed watching this, no rough stuff, yelling, or impatience from the people involved, and success! 👏👍👍🐎♥️
Ryan you are amazing and patient and amazing again. I am hooked. I do not have a horse but I love them but they are as wildly different as people and respond very similarly except in a horsey way.
IMEX the vet usually does another ultrasound to see the progression of healing. I also highly recommend a nose chain for the horse (saves their mouth, vs yanking on a bit) and a helmet and gloves on the handler for hand walking. I've done stall rest and rehab protocols on multiple horses including a 17h 2 yr old WB and they just can't hold it together, but with an injury and a horse who is that obviously lame behind all that ground work (backing, turning, yielding the hinds etc) is very hard on the tendons and ligaments being healed. Use the sedation. Good luck! It's not fun, I know!
Interesting. I'd never have thought to use a helmet on the ground, but I see your point. I've been dealing with moon blindness in a mare and a cranky horse can be really self protective and oblivious to the handler. I saw stars the other day after she clobbered me a good one.
What a beautiful horse... Huge thanks to the owner for letting you guys film. It's pretty obvious that he was still lame then, does anyone have an update?
Very interesting, my girls ride in the UK and the ponies/horses they work with are considerably larger than them! Psychology and understanding are critical.
Ryan, just one suggestion. As an endurance rider we had to have great " trot outs" on our horses- So- looking back at your horse if you want him to come with you would be a counter communication. As a look back- in horse Language would be telling your horse to " Back off!" So gather the energy, be tall, tap the lead slightly and trot off- looking forward. The horse should join you more easily than if you look back at him.

He is really making sure that those people understand everything and are engaged in that training too even tho he is handling their horse.
Thanks
As an educator I can say you’re teaching is excellent. I grew up with horses but have not had any in my adult life (sadly). But I train my dogs as if they were horses. I love watching your videos. The principles are super helpful. Love that you me
Ruined a dog training example midway! It’s so true.
I just recently found Ryan Rose, and was so very impressed by him. I am not big on spending money on subscriptions, but I immediately went and joined his Patreon. I really like how he works with the horse, and is always willing to do what is necessary for the horse, not what seems easiest. Which, of course, makes it easier anyway. He communicates, not demands.
Leave a review for him on Facebook, website, or patreon!!
Blah blah blah ... Patronise ,patronise
I had a horse on stall rest for 6 months. When I started hand walking it was a nightmare. People would clear the arena. What do you expect? It took time, he was locked up for 6 months due to a coffin bone fracture. Great lesson here.
The owner needs to be commended for truly doing the right thing for this horse- her intention was all about the horses well being.
What a great video, love this lady, she’s so good with her horse and so in tune with him, she listened to Ryan so well and applied everything brilliantly. Great video to keep an owner safe during in hand walking, I’ve seen some real horrible accidents happen on yards when horses have been on box rest.
Thanks 🙏

This is a "real life" situation and a strong willed horse. Great teaching video, because correcting him once, didn't make it perfect, just gave him something to think about. That's how it happens with most people/horses. I appreciate how the trainer keeps it real and explains everything.
That's alot of horse. The owner keeps her cool, does her best and sought out help. Had obviously spent alot of time and money on him. That being said, I would stop the "good boys". He may not understand the words but he understands the tone. He is definitely disrespectful and dominant. I would guess that he was that way before his injury. Time off, pain, stall rest only intensified it That alot of random reaction for a horse that's sedated.
Good luck and stay safe.
She did say in the video something about some of his behavior being that way before the injury.
Small corrections early and often are much more effective and efficient than large corrections too late. Ryan is spot on.
At the same time, like when she is getting him to trot, less is more with noises. If used too much, noises have less effect.
I once worked at a jumper barn that had a beautiful cross country horse that had a stifle injury, he was supposed to be hand walked daily but no one would do it because he had been locked in a stall for months and months trying to heal. He would immediately bolt, so much energy pent up, he just wanted to run and be a horse. They ended up taking him swimming, he burned his energy and stayed fit but without the impact that could worsen his injury.
I wonder if that would benefit this fella, he just seems to want to run and play. Let him burn his energy in a safe low impact way, he'd probably stop blowing up.
Of course, but how do you safely get him to rehab? It requires being led and potentially trailering. It's about being able to just safety be around him in this case.
Hobbles .. the old fashion way . Knee hobbles or the mmore severe back hock to halter .. allows horse to walk yet limmits other gaits
If that was an option.
It's expensive and sometimes not available.
I would be tempted to pony him after establishing boundaries and manners.
Yes! We always took the eventers with tendon damage swimming. ❤
@@paulsouth4794🙄
Really appreciate and enjoy getting to hear Emily’s perspective, she’s invaluable & we’re incredibly fortunate to have BOTH of you! 🙏😊
Thank you
I’d like to have seen the few seconds before the horse blew up through the full recovery in slow motion so I could observe the mini warning signals from the horse and more closely watch Ryan recover the horse.
Please, more slow motion inserts in general. It’s hard for me to go back and forth to replay a specific moment.
Thank you
You could just see in the horse's face the first time he took off with Ryan - he was like "Wait, what? Why aren't you just stepping out of my way and letting go? What's all this?" Excellent horse, seems very sweet, but needed some guidance so that he would learn to respect space. That's important for any horse to learn, but especially the bigger ones that don't know their own strength.
I can see she loves the horse, but I can also see how she will let him do whatever he wants too.
Hundred percent agree
I like this approach.
Ensuring the owner’s safety, as well as working to prevent him from over-exerting himself and causing re-injury.
It’s definitely important for people watching this at home to realize this is *not* training, and will *not yield long-term results* for behavior, but it is a good technique given the circumstances.
👌👍
@@ryanrosehorsemanship I understand the emphasis was on management vs training, however, I see the horse responding to this with results consistent with training, no?
Are you not implementing a little training lesson here? ( Ie don't walk all over or bolt on top of me, give to pressure, etc)
I've had horses on stall rest and walking was about the same thing. The horse has been locked up and longs to run, so this is normal behavior. I had to hand walk a 2-year old for 5 minutes twice a day - what a circus, but I stopped him as soon as I saw his neck tighten, so we got through it. You need timing.
Yes, this would be very frustrating for a horse. Convalescence is tough on dogs and horses.
Ryan's ability to communicate with critters, horse owners as well as his audience are a significant reason why I tune in to his videos. As a result, Ryan's vids are worthy of many replays. Good work, Ryan.
I really hope he recovers fully. She has done so much for him, and given the circumstances he did amazingly well.
Liked that two clearly experienced horsewoman still valued reaching out for help since you never know it all!
Yes. Smart people always keep learning.
@@rockjockchick 👍
Like everybody's comments and sharing as it gives a much clearer picture
The fact that she needs to interject and provide vocal "encouragement" to the horse, demonstrates that she has boundary issues of her own. The horse should be paying full attention to the trainer with the lead, and her efforts to coax performance from the horse show that she is more concerned with appearances than may be healthy. Nearly every "problem horse" I ever observed had a human caretaker with problems.
Middle aged divorced women are the greatest soldiers against the war on vices
One thing I've seen in several of these videos is a horse that's getting fly-bit. It's like a human being bitten by mosquitoes. It's a lot easier to relax and concentrate when you're not being itchy and bug-bitten.
It's really important to keep his toes pulled back with proper trims to keep stress off everything that's healing. Looks like his front feet are especially needing it right now. But even his hinds look like they need a trim.... which is where the injured leg is.
Good luck. I hope he feels better and fully heals!
He looks uncomfortable when he walks even slowly. I like the swimming idea. Yeah if he needs his Hooves worked on let's get to it, LOL ... from a non Rider and non-horse owner ... even though I love horses
I appreciate the owner cares about her horse and has put a lot of money and probably time into getting the horse well. May I suggest that as Ryan is there to work with your horse be quiet, unless you have a short question - maybe Emily can answer a whispered question. - you want your horse to pay attention to Ryan not be distracted by your voice as well meaning as you probably are.
Based on other comments, a second vet’s opinion can’t hurt and may give you some additional options.
Good luck.
Best video I've ever seen 👏. Wow, I can't thank you enough. Kudos to the owner 👏
It makes my day to see such love and devotion given to equine babies. 🌟 ⭐️ 💫
Thank you, Ryan Rose...you're the best 👌
This horse feels dominant in relation to the owner.
This was a great way to.explain and show how the snaffle bit helped tremendously...he's a handsome guy..Thank you for sharing Ryan..job well.done !
Amazing how well he responded and what a terrific horse woman to take such great care of her horses. I did notice all the horses there are a bit into peoples spaces outside of training.
I see a lot of things wrong here personally. Between her fidgeting with the horse at the beginning, waving the whip around carelessly, not being aware of her own body language, also reinforcing the bad behavior with “good boy” when he blows up. Dublin is being treated more like a puppy rather than a horse that needs to be handled properly while undergoing rehab. I hope this doesn’t come off as rude or mean, but 9 times out of 10 it’s never the horses fault...this is a good example of that.
I agree with most of this, except that you can’t reinforce emotion. the horse is spooking because he is emotional. I reassure my horses after they spook, because I know they were not in control of themselves. Patting my horse after she spooks isn’t going to make her spook more. It in fact calms her down. She can not decide to be scared more often because she doesn’t get in trouble for being scared; can you make yourself terrified on cue in order to get a treat? Getting after a horse for spooking will only make them more flighty and fearful. You have to help them learn to cope with their fear, and that will never happen by adding pressure
This is a beautiful horse. I really hope he recovers.
I loved this video. You never know when you need these little tips down the road.
👍
Personally, I'd be wearing a riding helmet while handling this gelding....and apply fly repellant ointment to his ears/fly spray his body so he wasn't so distracted. The other horses are swishing tails and stomping, so I'm assuming the insects are hassling them, it's not purely a case of frustration on the gelding's part....
Nice horse, very intelligent...and lucky to have a devoted human....
Helmet and impact vest.
@@gottasay4766 yes, vest is great idea too....
Watching from new Zealand I love Ryan's work with helping owners with there horses.i am a new subscriber
Really enjoy your good approach, Ryan. I've been with horses for almost 60 years and your approach is finally so sane. Cannot stand the 'marketing guys' who are all talk and all garbage around horses.
Excellent job. This guy knows what he is talking about.
Another beautiful horse and another great video. That horse is very lucky to have that person as his guardian. ❤thanks Ryan
Thank you for the very clear explanations, directions and reasons behind what you are doing.
Another great video.
Thanks
After your (Ryan’s) comments in physical fitness I have to comment. After decades of sitting through long work days and a couch-potato life, I’d struggle to get through even what you’d done in the video to that point. I’m thrilled at all the “exercise” my wife’s been getting doing ground work with our (her!) horse since she’s been even less fit than me.
great method with quick results, and as usual its not just the horse with the problem its the handler !
Hi, I have an alpha mare who was taken off grass over Spring and summer and fed magnesium supplements. She is very alert and edged sometimes. However, after 4 months of regular magnesium supplements she became very calm but then would have sudden outburst of very skittish behaviour, coupled with losing her sense of perception at jumps and even the smallest of banks. I took her off the magnesium, put her back on grass( not the fresh stuff), gave her 4 months off over winter. I have now brought her back into work (4 months) and I finally have my old horse back. Sedatives can have adverse effects on a horses ability to think appropriately. Love watching your work.
Makes sense
Great answer and analogy. Even would work with humans, LOL
I resent bought a horse. 22yrs old Tennessee Walker. I was told to get one to help my 2 girls and I ti recover from the death of my husband. Your video sure helps me. Thank you
What an amazing owner! I see it so often when people get themselves into these situations and it's because they have too much horse and not enough experience. She understood the assignment perfectly because she's a good equestrian with knowledge.
She gets it, she knows the concepts, knows and clearly loves her horse, she just needed another perspective to help her put it all together. There's no shame in that, getting a bit of outside help is smart and done out of care. Sometimes it takes another set of eyes to see and remind you of what you already know. It just helps things click.
He's a lucky boy! His owner loves him, knows what she's doing and learns quick. Her calmness around him is everything! I would love to see a future update with her possibly back under saddle. He's gorgeous, seems like he wants to please, he just needs guidance. She's loving and calm, but also capable of being firm when necessary. Never underestimate ground work. My hope is that he makes a full recovery because these two will be a beautiful partnership under saddle.❤️
Great video to see both the knowledge of Ryan and Emily! The lady is also excellent however we tend to forget that this is a large animal and we continue to love on them when sometimes they need more of a leadership role. Likely because of his injury to baby him up…I am guilty of same. I think this horse just felt a tad unsure of the leaderships role and would blow up because he needed to survive the day as he didn’t think his owner was in charge. This is why he would push into her space to check the role and she allowed it with a good boy comment when clearly what Ryan did was reassure that it’s not acceptable now or ever regardless of the situation. Great to see a quick lesson learned and see the calmness and relief soon after. Great job to all and beautiful horse you are Dublin!
Stall rest must be so frustrating for the horse. Must be hard for him to manage himself. Think some of us might want to act out if we were being cooped up and didn't understand why. It was good to see how to work through this and hopefully his rehab can now be managed successfully. It would be a shame after all the long treatment if the result got compromised by the horse not coping and acting out. Nothing wrong IMO in soothing your horse with gentle tones. Telling how he is still a good horse ought to remind us we don't blame horses for their behaviour. It's them communicating something; usually fear. The handlers job surely is to help them through difficult issues and not to blame or punish? I liked the owners attitude and her willingness to learn.
Yes, it's so frustrating for both horse and owner. If he jumps on the owner and she ends up convalescing as well as horse, a bad situation will be made worse.
Great adjustment to meet this horse’s needs! Quite a handful of big fella.
Thanks
I’ve watched a few of these vids on how to deal with difficult horses and this is one of the best; simple, concise and well explained, it all makes perfect sense and we can see the techniques working in practice. I took quite a lot from this. But I’m just wondering if the other horses being so close by might be a distraction?
Wow what a fantastic video in having the pleasure of seeing Ryan and Emily working together on this horse’s recovery! The owner is awesome too and it’s obvious she adores this beautiful horse. Thank you so much for this video! God bless❤️
When a horse is that distracted by gnats or flies, he’s not with you. He is shaking his head every few seconds. Get that under control and he will listen better.
I agree,,why did they not see that !!
Gosh, I went through EXACTLY the same suspensory injury/stall rest/hand walking journey for 3 mos. It was a HUGE challenge managing my horse for his 2 x 20 minute walkabouts each day. It never occurred to me to take him out with a snaffle! So simple and so logical....now that I see it done. Why didn't I think of that? It's like, I cld've had a V8 🤨
Excellent video! What a beautiful horse and an amazing owner who loves him so much! Good luck to you! 😊🐴💕
I love Ryan Rose videos, he explains things so well, helps me a lot with my horses :)
Gotta give her credit for being able to handle that much horse! What a magnificent beast 😮
My same thought 😆
Very helpful tips. Being proactive makes sense. Thank you.
What a lovely owner.
Such good explanations of everything you are doing! Thank you for this.
Bringing a horse out of almost 10 months stall rest. Cannot thank you enough for this video.
What a great owner. She's more than done right by that fractious beast.
Rehabbing a Wb is a different game Thank you for sharing your handling tips for this particular issue!!! ❤
My husband bought a horse after hip replacement for myself and I haven't had a chance To ride him. So I'm very excited about these lessons you've taught me
I’m not a professional horse trainer but one thing I noticed in this video is that the horse seemed very reactive to the whip in her hand. When she walked up on the right side of horse with the whip in her hand. She raised her whip a lil bit and that’s when the horse exploded next to Ryan.
When she was working with the horse without the whip the horse got a lot better cause he realized there was no whip in her hand.
So perhaps the horse just needs to get desensitized to a whip for groundwork and also just needs to be lead with just a lead rope. Not be led with whip and lead rope.
LOL, just because you said no comments...me over here thinking...glad I am not the only one out of breath. Great vid, appreciate the sound instructions n thoughts - restarting an OTTB that was handled rough, so a lot of communication, love n time to make him my forever guy!
Did she actually just tell this horse " good boy" for lunging at the trainer?!?!😮
What a gorgeous horse!
Wow, you did a great job handling him.
I had a 8year old lusitano, who wasn’t trained nor ridden at that time. Appealed to have the same behaviour, lack of boundaries, outbursts, etc… But I put so much time into making him clear what is Ok and whatnot and he learned it so quick!! Everyone said he’s dangerous and I mean, maybe he was - but that was due to a bad education. Educate your horses. All that effort and time put into is going to pay off, I promise. Just don’t give up if you can’t do it on the first try. Try to be patient, as if you’d be talking to a 3 year old girl - repeat it again and again. Also: when a horse does something right, give him a cuddle and a treat, so it understands what he has to do next time. It may seem unimportant, but even to ‘control’ a horse, you have to make that clear.
And if you can’t do it alone, don’t be ashamed to ask for help. Better do it right, then to fuck it up real bad.
Always learning something from these videos.
Never mind the physical limitations of this horse it was a great video on a horse that can be pushy. I am wondering if I should connect the snaffle to the lead rope since my horse tends to be very looky and distracted when I try to work him and do that head lowering.
I certainly don’t profess to have the depth of experience that many of the commenters here have. That having been said, this horse may have the equine version of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. He learned certain behavior would help him avoid pain. He is a beauty. Glad his owners value him. I also notice he is being terribly annoyed by flies.
Looks like he's got ton of energy being in that stall all day...Good luck wearing him out!
I always learn so much from your videos
Great 👍
He'll be a fire- breather with months of stall rest.
Understandable, but so dangerous for him and the handler!😨
He’s got his attention & I like he’s close & has his arm out between them .
I really appreciate Ryan's manner. Also the owners. The hose is a big well built guy who definitely has a bit of mischief in him.
Is that a Morgan in your profile picture ?
He is a strong willed but good natured horse in the sense that he loves to be petted and things like that, he just needs to build his confidence back up after all he has been through .
Loved this horse. Draught crosses are super smart. Nice to see good horse trainers all train the same way. Slightly different lyrics but the same song. For the owner I would teach him clear verbal cues for walk, trot and halt. It makes a world of difference in situations like this. I would also stay on the horses outside shoulder, Ive found for a woman it gives better control and is safer. Very nice horse.
The flys are driving him crazy. Weird how these horse people just ignore that horrible irritation. 🤦♀️
Totally agree 💯
So fun to see each of the sessions begin with a horse who is not connected to and disinterested in Ryan end up when turned loose seeking friendly contact with their new Ryan friend.
Ryan shows such patience, both with the horses he works with as well as their owners. This owner’s heart is obviously in the right place, but her praising Dublin with a “good-boy” when he wasn’t doing anything good and sometimes was being disrespectful was so confusing. And her micromanaging Dublin from the sidelines while Ryan was supposed to be the one in charge was distracting. Again, she obviously has a big heart and I always appreciate ones who are willing to allow Ryan to share these videos with us.
I absolutely had the same thought and also wondered if she really realized she was doing that. She herself seems to have an insecurity of situations/events that results in said micromanagement.
The 2 horses together at the end looked identical. Related somehow? Really enjoyed watching this, no rough stuff, yelling, or impatience from the people involved, and success! 👏👍👍🐎♥️
Ryan you are amazing and patient and amazing again. I am hooked. I do not have a horse but I love them but they are as wildly different as people and respond very similarly except in a horsey way.
IMEX the vet usually does another ultrasound to see the progression of healing. I also highly recommend a nose chain for the horse (saves their mouth, vs yanking on a bit) and a helmet and gloves on the handler for hand walking. I've done stall rest and rehab protocols on multiple horses including a 17h 2 yr old WB and they just can't hold it together, but with an injury and a horse who is that obviously lame behind all that ground work (backing, turning, yielding the hinds etc) is very hard on the tendons and ligaments being healed. Use the sedation. Good luck! It's not fun, I know!
Interesting. I'd never have thought to use a helmet on the ground, but I see your point. I've been dealing with moon blindness in a mare and a cranky horse can be really self protective and oblivious to the handler. I saw stars the other day after she clobbered me a good one.
Right from the beginning, this horse is pushing and dominating his owner to move her feet!
You are so right.
What a gorgeous animal. He is huge!
😊Like the way you worked with him.
Ty for this my horse is not nearly As bad but every once in a while he’ll pin his ears so ty
You bet 👍
What a beautiful horse... Huge thanks to the owner for letting you guys film. It's pretty obvious that he was still lame then, does anyone have an update?
Mad respect to the trainer...
Lol, not super fit for myself, great job Ryan. Working with a long standing out of control habits on horse
Very interesting, my girls ride in the UK and the ponies/horses they work with are considerably larger than them! Psychology and understanding are critical.
Ryan, just one suggestion.
As an endurance rider we had to have great " trot outs" on our horses- So- looking back at your horse if you want him to come with you would be a counter communication. As a look back- in horse Language would be telling your horse to " Back off!"
So gather the energy, be tall, tap the lead slightly and trot off- looking forward.
The horse should join you more easily than if you look back at him.
She's doing her best and is learning.
HE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HORSE I LOVE HORSES WITH ALL MY HEARTS
23:40 💥💯 "Short, but loose..." Thanks Ryan!
What a delightful owner, she’s doing everything to help with his recovery,
I want to thank you this is very informational for me. I have a horse that this is gonna work perfectly on him.
Good teaching
First time watching, love the way you teach the horse as well as the owner ! Lol I don’t own a horse or even be around them, but learning is so nice !
