At 6.22 the cement truck high speed reversing in background 😂😂 well done.Your horse training method is the best, treating the horse with respect at all times a joy to watch here in UK.
I really like your comment about bringing him up and then down . To regulate his emotions. My mare can esculate on the lunge when fired up. I always keep her at walk until she's calm after a lot of ground work. Then a relaxed trot, and only csnter once she's fully relaxed.
Sir, you have a gift. Thank you for clarifying the ruling out of a medical cause. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have stomach aches when I think about how many horses are physically at the end of their ability to re-condition and who are pushed ( and punished) because of a medical cause!
I luv your training methods Ryan. I found you by accident and haven't been able to stop watching your videos. I haven't been watching long but would trust that you would always have the horses fully vet checked b4 you rode them. I'm in Australia. I'd like to join your patreon page but $10 Aussie dollars a month at the moment would work out a fair bit more in US dollars, so I'll have to stick to TH-cam videos. I think you're incredibly kind and sensible with each horse I've seen you work with, even if you have to tap them to keep them out of your bubble. Keep up the great work and thanks for all the great information 😊🐴
He is setting up his leads a lot better, and more defined. I think more inside, forward calf, and outside back heal might help him balance in the turns, and get his hind feet under him. It's just that i only see you use inside forward pressure, but no back heal on his outside leg, driving him forward, and collecting him. I know that's a lot more pressure, but his gait is choppy, and quick, not smooth and powerful, but, as you say he needs more strength conditioning, and his collection will be easier for him. Love watching you connect with these troubled horses, and how carefully, and skillfully, you work them through their fears and confusion. To see the emotional changes you bring them through is just genius. You also treat the owners with the same skill, and care, putting horse and owner in a great partnership that could last a lifetime, as a bonus. Great job, thanks.
Isn't he a proud pony! Can see the physical difference in him from first video and how much stronger and more confident he is within himself. Well done
I loved this. I have a 20yrs exracer. I have had her 5 years . She has gone from a sack of bones to a really great looking horse. She used to fall over everything buy as we have grown together She is so much better and shr dies think where her feet are. My stable is made in an old cow she'd with a good 12inck step to the feed station. She stands with her front feet onbthe step and when I ask her to back up she definitely feels for that ledge. I am so frustrated at the moment I feel time is slipping away shevus good to go but I am now waiting for both my hip replacements. I keep looking at her and praying she will ge able to take part in these activities when I am physically fit to do the work with her. She is really lovely she is very well behaved and dosent have and really bad habits. I am trying to be so patient. And she can loose a leg on a corner definite weakness thier.
Your message at around 08:20 of this video is sound advice. It's applicable to horses and several facets of life. This is just one of the reasons I have a difficult time straying from your coaching. You provide coaching in a simple form that can be followed. I took a riding lesson and discovered myself repeating, "I don't know what you mean by that. What does that mean?" It boils down to this--I am not at a place of learning new concepts like half-halt, full-halt, etc. Although, admittedly, somehow the half and full halt method seems to work with him and for the first time, I finally got him to understand when to stop. At the same time, I'm taking a few steps back to listen to your principal. The message I heard is, "slow down to speed up." Thank you.
These two videos will be perfect for me and my warmblood who seems to be pretty much alike the one you're working with. So exited 🙏 thanks so much for sharing - Bella from 🇩🇰 Denmark
Who wouldn’t love to see you rehab a Grand Prix dressage horse who’d been subject to rolkur (sp?)? It would be wonderful to see the release, relief and relaxation the poor animal is desperate for and truly, finally deserves. It would be so satisfying, like this video is. (I’d love an arena and play structures like this.) Thanks for your excellent content. Cheers!😎
Last video I could barely watch because of that weak back end. Not sure how much time has passed but you sure can see the increased muscle in addition to the improved balance and mindfulness.
Very impressed with your training techniques! This horse has come a long way and you can see a huge improvement. You are so patient and calm with him, and with all the horses I have watched you train. I am learning a lot from watching your videos.
Pure pleasure to watch this horse responding to your requests and how far he has come. Just beautiful! I got so excited when he got all fours on the pedestal that last time. He truly understood and was more confident in doing so. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed this so much. 🥰
Very nice! I love how you distinguished between horses who need to back off to process vs those who can keep going to make their realizations. Some horse would die running in circles because they think that is their only choice.
I love the fact that you make this so easy for the every day person to understand it doesn’t sound so complicated that you can tackle it little at a time thanks again
He’s really improving! I’m glad you explained that he’d had a full physical evaluation. I thought in the original video that he might be coping with a minor injury even though he was improving. (Not aware your Mrs. is a therapist!) He’s definitely more relaxed and balanced physically and emotionally. It’s super clear he’s getting his needs met! ❤️. I love seeing him learn more about what his feet are actually doing. I hope we get to follow this horse a bit longer.
You truly are gifted my friend. What you and your wife have done for this horse is beyond impressive. You are are true horseman in the fact you give every horse- no matter what breed, registered or not- a chance to be their best. Its beautiful to watch this horse develop a trusting relationship with you and to gain the confidence to try tasks that would have, a short time ago, been nearly impossible for him! And thank you for addressing "The Haters"! Per Joe Rogan... Haters are all failures- 100% across the board. No one that is truly brilliant at anything is a hater.
This was helpful especially cantering in smaller circles then letting him out a little more. It was also neat to see him become less bothered and more relaxed. I hadn't thought about the emotional aspect in the canter or riding.
Hi Ryan, I think the difference is so big with the start of the training, the horse is more relaxed and calm but still wants to work, the action modes are still visible hahaha.... but that doesn't matter. You are a real horse trainer, mind body and soul. The horse also looks a lot better, beautiful shine. Thank you so much for thé update of this one, loved it. Roos 🙋🏻♀️👍🏻😁🤗👊🏻💪🏻🤩
He’s such a willing and giving horse you’ve totally given him the confidence to start to trust his own emotions. God bless you most people would sell in the problem he’s stunning and you both look a great team 👍. Leanne UK 🇬🇧
I loved this so much! You can see him thinking. Good boy! And you can see the strength he's built in his hind quarters compared to the first video. Your videos are so fun and informative.
Thank you for sharing. Your tips absolutely are helping me train my horses and become a safer more confident rider. There are so many pieces of the puzzle that need to be put in place for the desired result.
Well done! This one just really stands out I love all your videos. To me, this is what sets you apart. You & Emily have the ability to work as a team & it could not be a better place for a horse than to be under your care, as a couple. Your open mindedness, willingness & ability to adapt. Both with your particular areas of equine knowledge & understanding. This is easily one of my FAVORITE videos about GOOD/HONORABLE/AUTHENTIC horsemanship that’s fair to the horse & respects it for the sentient being that it is.
That was awesome. Don't ride horses but really enjoy your videos. I could actually see the horse thinking when you put him up on that narrow plank - it was very obvious (after you said it!) and amazing to watch.Thanks for sharing.
I love the obstacles because it keeps things interesting for the horse as well. What a nice boy he is. You can see he has a lot of try and a good thought process. Love your method.
What a good boy! You've helped him learn at a pace he can handle, physically & mentally & that's made him happy & relaxed. It's easy to see he trusts you & wants to figure out how to please you. ❤️ It's Fun watching! Thx! Anyone can make a horse do something but it's a rare gift to see someone with the patience & confidence to encourage them to want to do it on their own. Great job! You must feel so good when you're finished. Again, thanks! 🙏❤️🙏
Beautifully done. I appreciate your view of the whole horse during training especially being sure a horse has no health issues that are hindering their workout. You gave me more communication to be watching for from my horse and how to help her decompress. Thank you so very much.
I love this! One of my horses has some negative emotions that come up fairly often, not connected to anything in particular, just 20 minutes into training or riding, he makes a minor protest. This approach is kind and just right for him.
Another great lesson! This is so much more effective than to "push through it," which did not work for my horse, who became a machine, but an explosive one. Your lesson shows how to train with less pressure.
Stop. Back up softly a couple of steps. Easy rollback. Continue @ a walk. I like that...works the hindquarters, works on balance, works on mental flexibility. 👍
I really enjoy your videos. The previous video with this boy and this one demonstrate how correct training can make such an incredible difference with the horses ability to be mindful of where he's placing his feet and in keeping him balanced. In the last video he even had difficulty standing square and was very uneven in his hind legs and through the back. In this video, he looks like another horse. He stands beautifully and the improvement in his trot is wonderful. His willingness to put all feet on the pedestal and plank was so impressive. I think his progress is remarkable. ❤🌹
Hi! Could you make a video just showing all the obstacles being used that were there in the background at 24:00 one day, please? They look interesting and I'd like to see any horse going through them! Knowing the purpose of each one would be also very educational :) Also great video, I can definitely see the progress with this horse! I used to ride a public horse with similar issue, appaloosa draft cross, she was very massive and she couldn't balance her weight in the corners, so she would speed up instead of slowing down, she turned out to have a very stiff neck and that's where she was losing all her balance I started doing stretching exercises with her plus a lot of turns and tiny circles everytime i rode her, after one month she became balanced, because now she can easily bend her head to the inside, I wish my stable had those mountain trail obstacles, maybe one day I can convince the owners to add some, it would be useful for both riders and horses
Great idea 👍👌. We also have videos on our patreon page showing how we used the obstacles to help build his strength and coordination. www.patreon.com/ryanrosehorsemanahip
At what point did you start adding that canter back into his workouts, ? I'm taking my anxious gelding back to basics to help improve his overall balance and physical conditioning and have been hesitant to start bringing it back in because it's always been a problem area with both rushing and leaning into the inside - based on what I'm seeing here it seems like starting in the round pen or indoor might be my best bet and for sure working on it on the ground as well - but I don't want to ask too much of him too soon.
Wow Ryan he is coming along so beautifully. I really enjoyed watching you're update. Thank you. I was so proud of him on the obstacles I could actually see him starting to think and enjoy it a bit. Super good for all horses to learn slowly for fun I agree. Thank you for your time.
Wonderful to see how you communicate with the horse. Can you make some video's of how you build the obstacles? So we can challenge our own horses, especially my new horse who I also want to learn to use her left brain more. Thank you so much!
OTTBs, once trained to their new job make great trail horses. Lungs and legs for days and often well bred meaning a sharp mind. JUst don;t buy fine canons and you'll have a mountain trail horse that will step right out and keep a fast walk all day long. Keeping your mule string moving out is critical to avoiding wrecks. Bored mules do ornery s**t... Thorobreds and Morgans are good breeds for a working trail horse. Most 1/4s I have packed off of you have to peddle them all day long cuz they just want to stop if they ain't chasing a cow.
I really enjoyed this one. It touches on several parts of your approach & choices you make that shape the process. Also cool to get a look at your playground, nice! I so wish I could teleport you up here to WA to help me start my just-5yo :~D
SOme of those circles you can see his neck bowed outside, inside at the pole and nose outside...weird but everything from the shoulders forward is used for balance so if the horse has a a weak hind you can see some weird stuff up front. Like me. I am OLD with a ginat set of shoulders and a beer belly. If I want to lean forward I have to push my butt to the rear and vice versa. If I don;t get it right I stumble
It looked to me that this horse had been neglected in the past and was just gaining back some muscle with proper nutrition and a new owner. Like Ryan said general weakness from lack of muscle tone
That's great, however he's still loosing his back end when he's actually being ridden. Meaning moving. Not stepping up or down on something. I'm not saying you or your wife are not knowledgeable. My horse that was in training ended up very lame. 2 vets checked him out. Did blocks X-rays, etc. I finally took him to Carbondale Il equine hospital. He had a torn suspensory ligament, which was not detected until an MRI was done. He was so stoic it confused the vets as well. I still say he has something going on in his spine affecting his back end.
Next time a person starts to question their horse, I invite them to pretend like they are the horse and not the rider... I've worked on several horses that crow hopped half way out to the road in the morning. Heck, when the straw boss rang the morning bell for vittles, I confess, in my mind, I crow hopped to the kitchen ;) SOmetimes you got let them have it and let them figure it out on their own. You can lead a cowboy to water but you can't make him think...lol
WHat kills me most is having someone bring in a horse and complain that something MSUT be wrong with his, conformation, fitness, genetics...you name it. As they tell me all this is see they are fat weak and flabby and prone to finding fault elsewhere

The horse has a lot of try. He is fortunate to have Ryan as a trainer and an owner with the commitment to give him a chance.
The plank. You can see him think. It’s so special to have him figure out the puzzle. Fabulous
I absolutely loved seeing him being so mindful in navigating his feet on the pedestal and the plank. That was beautiful!
Me to 👌👍

Just beautiful! I got so excited when he got all fours on the pedestal that last time.
He truly understood and was more confident in doing so.

Very nice! I love how you distinguished between horses who need to back off to process vs those who can keep going to make their realizations. Some horse would die running in circles because they think that is their only choice.
Thanks Ryan! Keep being sincere! Thanks Audrey for positive replies for Ryan! He surely deserves it! The last of the Mohicans!! Awesome Ryan! 😎👍🏻👌🐴
I love the fact that you make this so easy for the every day person to understand it doesn’t sound so complicated that you can tackle it little at a time thanks again

Your layers of training is fascinating. Each task is broken down to make it easy for him to be successful . Great lesson plans!
Awesome Ryan! You’ll continue to do well! Thank you for being honest! You are kicking it! Thanks again! 😎👌👍🏻🐴🌈
I loved this so much! You can see him thinking. Good boy! And you can see the strength he's built in his hind quarters compared to the first video. Your videos are so fun and informative.
Thanks 😊
He has a lovely trot. I love his head and neck carriage.
Thank you for sharing. Your tips absolutely are helping me train my horses and become a safer more confident rider. There are so many pieces of the puzzle that need to be put in place for the desired result.
The cement truck at 6.22 high speed reverseing so well trained that driver, did Ryan train the driver😅 Great result for the horse thanks from Uk
His canter looked great and a little less anxious when you got on him. Glad to see him improving! Good job!
Thanks
Well done!
This one just really stands out
I love all your videos.
To me, this is what sets you apart.

Beautifully done. I appreciate your view of the whole horse during training especially being sure a horse has no health issues that are hindering their workout. You gave me more communication to be watching for from my horse and how to help her decompress. Thank you so very much.
Great 👍
Oh my that horse is gorgeous!
I love this! One of my horses has some negative emotions that come up fairly often, not connected to anything in particular, just 20 minutes into training or riding, he makes a minor protest. This approach is kind and just right for him.
Awesome 👍👌
No doubt he’s happier! It shows
Great job! Really enjoy your videos, nice to see the horse calm down
Another great lesson! This is so much more effective than to "push through it," which did not work for my horse, who became a machine, but an explosive one. Your lesson shows how to train with less pressure.
Thank you !
Love what you are doing. Many people assume the h9rse is strong enough when he needs building.
Stop. Back up softly a couple of steps. Easy rollback. Continue @ a walk. I like that...works the hindquarters, works on balance, works on mental flexibility. 👍

When he willingly got on the pedestal, ……. Had to call him HAPPY Bob! Awesome Ryan! He wants to take the challenge and please you! Awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
All I can say is my observation is that he has a HUGE canter! Looks like hard work.
Hi! Could you make a video just showing all the obstacles being used that were there in the background at 24:00 one day, please?
They look interesting and I'd like to see any horse going through them! Knowing the purpose of each one would be also very educational :)
Also great video, I can definitely see the progress with this horse!
I used to ride a public horse with similar issue, appaloosa draft cross, she was very massive and she couldn't balance her weight in the corners, so she would speed up instead of slowing down, she turned out to have a very stiff neck and that's where she was losing all her balance
I started doing stretching exercises with her plus a lot of turns and tiny circles everytime i rode her, after one month she became balanced, because now she can easily bend her head to the inside, I wish my stable had those mountain trail obstacles, maybe one day I can convince the owners to add some, it would be useful for both riders and horses

Gorgeous horse, he is a clever boy and is going to be very good. Good Job with him. God bless.🐴
That was a great video...inspiring!
Mr Rose, this is awesome work!!! Please post an update on this big boy! How is he doing now?
This was incredibly fun to watch. Thank you! 😊
This has been very interesting to watch even though I dont personally own a horse.
Wow Ryan he is coming along so beautifully. I really enjoyed watching you're update. Thank you. I was so proud of him on the obstacles I could actually see him starting to think and enjoy it a bit. Super good for all horses to learn slowly for fun I agree. Thank you for your time.
Excellent video.

Such great advice to take every step slowly and reward the small victories. thanks for your great videos!
Very nice , my Warmblood is on the slow tract too! He is 5 yrs. & 3 months.
Where are the directions on building both of theses items you walked on.
Great video
Fantastic horsemanship 👍🏻
Beautiful! Even I can see such a big difference in the movement of his hind legs! You and your wife have done the horse a great service.
Awesome!!
Love those obstikals! Horse is really cute and proud when doing them to ✨
Thanks
I feel you as you ride him.
Keep it up 👍🏻
Excellent video Ryan thankyou for your channel. I've just found it and matches with my philosophy on horse and rider. 🤠
Thanks again…great stuff! 👍
What a great video!! Really enjoying watching the progress of this horse. Great Work, thank you.
Good job. He seems more relaxed -he blows out frequently in the beginning of your video
Loved watching this.
😀👍
I really enjoyed this one. It touches on several parts of your approach & choices you make that shape the process. Also cool to get a look at your playground, nice!
I so wish I could teleport you up here to WA to help me start my just-5yo :~D
Great Video!
Did you attend Meredith Manor International Equestrian center? This is a lot of what they taught there.
I hear western pleasure people talk about "suspension". In the horse's gait. What are they referring to?
Again, Dude Ryan, this is Happy Bob 😎
SOme of those circles you can see his neck bowed outside, inside at the pole and nose outside...weird but everything from the shoulders forward is used for balance so if the horse has a a weak hind you can see some weird stuff up front. Like me. I am OLD with a ginat set of shoulders and a beer belly. If I want to lean forward I have to push my butt to the rear and vice versa. If I don;t get it right I stumble
Very good
Six is still young for a warmblood. They don't mature physically until a round 8 years of age in comparison to Tbs who are mature a round 5.
It looked to me that this horse had been neglected in the past and was just gaining back some muscle with proper nutrition and a new owner. Like Ryan said general weakness from lack of muscle tone
The horse world is full of armchair experts. We all ride perfect when sitting on the sidelines. (I know I do…)
That's great, however he's still loosing his back end when he's actually being ridden. Meaning moving. Not stepping up or down on something.
I'm not saying you or your wife are not knowledgeable. My horse that was in training ended up very lame. 2 vets checked him out. Did blocks X-rays, etc. I finally took him to Carbondale Il equine hospital. He had a torn suspensory ligament, which was not detected until an MRI was done. He was so stoic it confused the vets as well. I still say he has something going on in his spine affecting his back end.
Next time a person starts to question their horse, I invite them to pretend like they are the horse and not the rider... I've worked on several horses that crow hopped half way out to the road in the morning. Heck, when the straw boss rang the morning bell for vittles, I confess, in my mind, I crow hopped to the kitchen ;) SOmetimes you got let them have it and let them figure it out on their own. You can lead a cowboy to water but you can't make him think...lol
WHat kills me most is having someone bring in a horse and complain that something MSUT be wrong with his, conformation, fitness, genetics...you name it. As they tell me all this is see they are fat weak and flabby and prone to finding fault elsewhere
He is trying so hard….he really is sweet. How is he doing at the end of 2022
My horse has a tendency of pulling its head down to the ground when I'm riding it, he is tame but its this behaviour that bothers me
Bought a severly lame horse from auction had full vet work nothing wrong. Took him to a groomer turners out he had a bunch of weiner beans.
Ouch. Glad you got him cleaned out.
