The number of Horse Video's , especially from a training perspective I've watched the last 15 year's, I enjoyed this one, its Top Shelf ,probably because the Young Lady is Just learning ,same as the Horse 🐎 Love to see follow up Video's in the future!!! Thank y'all!!!
I think she should be proud of herself and Chance, they accomplished excellent work in very little time. Each horse owner has their own preferred way of training their horse and if this is what works for them then it works. Other people might prefer differently and that's up to them. Chance and the girl make a lovely team.
What a cool video! I bet that experience will be one of her favorite memories of her life. I know it’d be one of mine! She should be super proud of the work she did. Chance came along great with her, and I loved seeing where they both started under your mentorship. Great work all around!
Really wish I had someone to go through this with me and my horse. I rescued two horses last summer from slaughter. I am pretty much on my own. Love watching this video.
Really nice! Like the music, too. It train Clydesdales to ride and drive, lots of initial pen-work. It always strikes me that while these light horses are wired a little hotter, conversely they also seem to respond more rapidly than the heavies.
A few scary moments for the horse and rider but what a perfect first 30 days to a horse! The rider handled everything with such grace and confidence! Now that’s how you start a horse! Great job!
This was a great overview video, I have a little yearling filly at the moment and i hope starting her under saddle goes half as well as it does for Chance and Cheyenne in the video!
Beautiful and Well Done. This is exactly how I would do it! (just kidding). Best horse training video I've seen n the internet. It proves you get more out of a gentle approach than you do chasing the horse around the pen with a lunging whip until they are near exhausted. the young lady did an excellent job and Gerry Cox really knows horses.
Great video of a lovely journey for both horse and human. I'm about to break in my first colt, and although I've worked with horses my whole life, this is the first time it's my own horse I'm starting. I never stop learning :)
So awesome to watch the progress of this training. Thank you for posting this video.LOVE it. Lucky horse and handler to have such a wonderful Mentor too.
Really guys....Gerry did a great job and you all know it....the horse wasnt traumatized and she was saddled with care. which is the whole point of " breaking horses this days" For all those that make dumb comments get your own horse and post a video....and enlighten us with your knowledge.
Chance and the young girl have a very good connection. A pleasure to watch. She and her horse have accomplished in 30 days training what it has taken me forever to do!! Kudos to her Trainer, Gerry Cox! Was cantering along beside her meant to give her confidence?
First - I wish I had a cool project like this when I was in high school! Second - I think this will be VERY helpful in 2020 when I start my youngster under saddle. Thank you for this Gerry!
What a lovely video. So nice to see their progress and that starting a horse (I personally dislike the term “breaking”) can be a gentle and compassionate process. Only suggestion I have is to include some form of suggestion to wear a helmet for safety.
I love this!!!! But my horse likes to buck and bite. I just got him and he hasn't been ridin in about 2 years I have been starting him small but i was wondering if you could give a strait through lesson on those kind of horses or give me a copple of tips. Thank you!
In a few days, a friend of mine will be getting a completely unstarted 4 year old arabian mare. We have to halterbreak her and everything, and we will be using a method silimar to this (she knows little about horses so I'll be supervising and acting as a trainer, similar to how you did in this video just a bit more hands on.)
wow...what an awesome opportunity...and this young lady seems a natural. Question for you Gerry......at around 8:56minutes she puts on the saddle. She used her knee to boost it...is that something you taught her??
I asked my mom for a 3 year old horse to train myself with some help of my instructor/mentor, so hopefully my mom will say yes and help me buy a horse to start and keep as my own.
How did she teach the horse to trot the first time? I can’t seem to get my filly to trot and I don’t have anyone to work her from the ground while I ride her
Check our website some time.. We have several clips on TH-cam and ad and subtract once in awhile... If you ever find yourselves on a country drive to the North country come on by for the $2 tour! good luck, keep in touch..
I may be getting a 2 y/o filly as a summer project. I was raised with horses but I only started riding a few years ago. I am 11 and I want to break my horse by myself, then my dad can help me a little.
+ponylover 36 thanks! Plans have changed. My trainer just had 2 foals born. I'm going to be training the colt while she trains the filly. I'm very excited as my mom says I can get Ollie after I train him. He is only a few days old though!
Haha looking at my comments a year later! I still haven't gotten a foal, hopefully it will happen soon. I've kind of realized I'm not completely ready to train a horse yet, my moms coworker agreed to a mentoring program that I can help her train. That starts in a few weeks.
i thought when working a horse in a round pen, and ask them to come in or change directions, their always suppose to turn on the inside with their eyes not their butt????
I recently brought home a colt, a 3 yr old Appy actually. hes a great horse, very smart, very friendly. Started groundwork with him the day after I got him, things were going fantastic. Showing him how to stay out of my space, back up and lunge. He took a saddle no problem and I was able to get on him a few times. However, now we are having a problem when I ask him to go forward he kicks out. I pull his head around so he can't buck, but I don't know what to do. I don't know why he gets so angry. I need help.
Evy Diauto I think he's being testy to see what he can get away with because he still young. Youngsters will do that sometimes, but it could also be that his saddle is pinching him or that he has pain somewhere or could be because he's still a colt if you haven't gelded him yet. Have you thought of asking a local trainer to help you out with that one thing? Then maybe if they help you work that kink out you can continue to finish him by yourself.
I'm sure not there to see but my guess is he just doesn't understand what you are asking and is a little irritated or frustrated. get some one over to help you out that knows what they are doing
The horse has shoes on day 3? How does that happen lol. Don't understand the teeter-totter and big blue ball either. Much respect to the girl it the horse was truly green before she started. One out of every ten or twenty horses get started this smooth. Lol
Kaleb Brooks I'm not sure how to respond other than you mis-identified any shoes on the colt, Day 3 or otherwise. As for the green colt, he was gentle enough by nature and had been haltered and trimmed and handled, just never taught anything... this young lady had no real horse experience other than riding a neighbors horse a few times many years before this event... As for the teeter-totter and blue ball, what is to understand??
Okay, sorry about that. I just noticed that you use the ball and teeter-totter in other videos, is that just something you use to build trust/respect? Some secret behind it.. never really seen it done before.
Kaleb Brooks I guess trust and confidence... A lot of horses are terrified to cross 'thing' or touch or push 'things'... our job is to convince them that me suggesting you try or do something is in your/our best interest..

Yes I am sure it will stick with her. She was a great kid... a lot of fun!
So proud of you both! Could not have had a better mentor than Gerry 🐎
Gee Thanks!@
Good job building confidence and trust in both the horse and the young lady. Enjoyed watching, thank you.

Did you see that she had like ZERO horse experience? It was a lot of fun!
This was a great overview video, I have a little yearling filly at the moment and i hope starting her under saddle goes half as well as it does for Chance and Cheyenne in the video!

It was a fun project...

Gave BOTH confidence...
Pretty darn good. I saw your comment about this horse being handled quite a bit previously but had never had any training. Makes sense to me.
Great video. The young gal did a good job under your guidance.
It was a lot of fun....
Truly enjoyed watching this video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! This young lady had only been on a horse a few times in her life, I was very proud of our project together.
First - I wish I had a cool project like this when I was in high school!
Second - I think this will be VERY helpful in 2020 when I start my youngster under saddle. Thank you for this Gerry!
Good Luck!
Been around horses all my life that horse is pretty intelligent she's a smart young lady to I'm glad for both of them
Congrats !
excellent job cheyene. I really enjoyed watching this video :)

Absoluty AMAZING! see what a horse will do if its just Loved!
nice video, congratulations
I love this!!!! But my horse likes to buck and bite. I just got him and he hasn't been ridin in about 2 years I have been starting him small but i was wondering if you could give a strait through lesson on those kind of horses or give me a copple of tips. Thank you!
You did a great job
Beautiful!!
I’m actually trying to train my horse my self and I wanted to see what advice you can give me when doing ground work
Just be kind and slow..
Ok thank you
Another great video.on Cox technique..
This was a fun project for a nice kid...
thats nice she did her job i ride all the time i love this video quality breaking makes perfect horse rideing partnership and respect is all you need
I see the Clinton Anderson method being used.. nice
Actually I studied with Chris Cox, Craig Cameron, Dan James, Jim Anderson and Nick Dowers. All Road to the Horse champs yes..
I love your videos. How can one have a riding lesson like this from you?
In a few days, a friend of mine will be getting a completely unstarted 4 year old arabian mare. We have to halterbreak her and everything, and we will be using a method silimar to this (she knows little about horses so I'll be supervising and acting as a trainer, similar to how you did in this video just a bit more hands on.)

Awesome video
wow...what an awesome opportunity...and this young lady seems a natural. Question for you Gerry......at around 8:56minutes she puts on the saddle. She used her knee to boost it...is that something you taught her??
She wasn't quite strong enough to do it on her own... Thanks fro watching
Good good solid work!!! 😍👌🏼
Awesome!
LOVED THE VIDEO THANKS 9
I asked my mom for a 3 year old horse to train myself with some help of my instructor/mentor, so hopefully my mom will say yes and help me buy a horse to start and keep as my own.

Great!! have fun, be safe, go as slow as you have to to help the hors understand what you are doing
+Gerry Cox she has been started under saddle and has had halters in her.
+ponylover 36 thanks! Plans have changed. My trainer just had 2 foals born. I'm going to be training the colt while she trains the filly. I'm very excited as my mom says I can get Ollie after I train him. He is only a few days old though!
She sadly was sent away to a trainer a few weeks back. She is being trained to a reiner. I will be searching for another horse still.
Haha looking at my comments a year later! I still haven't gotten a foal, hopefully it will happen soon. I've kind of realized I'm not completely ready to train a horse yet, my moms coworker agreed to a mentoring program that I can help her train. That starts in a few weeks.
I hope I get a three year old soon
i thought when working a horse in a round pen, and ask them to come in or change directions, their always suppose to turn on the inside with their eyes not their butt????
You can sure teach them both ways
i loved it. i wish i could train my horse like that. he's an 18 month old palomino bay and his name is chance. he's a little butt head

A good match for each other
What does the day 8 teach??
Do you mean the gourd driving? To give and turn to a light rein pull and also to move away from a rein tapping your side
Yes! Thanks
The horse has shoes on day 3? How does that happen lol. Don't understand the teeter-totter and big blue ball either. Much respect to the girl it the horse was truly green before she started. One out of every ten or twenty horses get started this smooth. Lol

I left you a message but didn't do it right. Go see the Chance clip again.
