This was beautiful to watch. You guys seem to actually really value the trust of the horse you're working with. You guys give when you need to and are willing to be slow and patient when you see fear. I loved the reassuring pat at 1:36 when the colt was uneasy about being saddled for the first time. I really really enjoyed this. Thank you :)
It's really nice to see some Cowboys be gentle with their horses and trying to form a connection before slapping a saddle on the colts' backs!! Good job, guys!!
Alright I'm sick and tired of hearing people who have probably never even been on a horse saying, "This is animal cruelty." When in fact it is not. There are so much more harsher ways to break an animal and guess what, WE DON'T DO THAT!
You will always be able to find something worse. That is no justification for Yourself. I would not call You an animal abuser, but roping is an abusive method because of the implied force and accepted pain. You will be also able to find less forceful and more elegant ways of communication between humans and horses. Even in the internet. Check Yourself!
I found it rather amazing to watch. The skill with the rope and the fact that he's NOT jerking the colts head off. he lets him run it out and gently pulls the baby to face him. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for posting and keep up the good work.
you all are saying that roping a horse is bad and mean, i break horses too. its really hard to hurt a horse. REALLY HARD if you know nothing about breaking horses, keep your mouth shut.
It takes not much to hurt a horse and to spoil it forever. The slaughter houses are full of horses, which the owners were told to euthanize, because they went from one impatient incapable "horse trainer" to the next. Are three to 6 months time too much for a relaxed selfconfident trustful horse?
@@gerrycoleman7290 because horses definitely do not use pain, fear and intimidation to control other herd members. lemme guess...everything you know about horses was learned from watching Spirit?
@@Hy-Brasil Where have you been? A higher horse in a herd will 'tell' another horse to move. It may just take a look, a slight movement of the head, pinned ears. If the other horse does not yield, the high horse will up the ante. It can be a bite, kick, double barrels. It depends. The horse will yield because he knows that if he doesn't it's going to hurt.
Starting a horse is way better for the horse/ human relationship vs. 'braking' a horse. Breaking a horses is the old cowboy way. It uses pain, fear, and intimidation to control a horse. Finesse instead of fear is the better way.
This is the right was as long as your not constantly whipping it to get it to go your good I just don’t recommend lassoing it forever until it breaks not a very good way to build trust but then you calmed it down so good.
Bless you! Making the breaking of a colt a simple, non threatening process. That's the most important thing while breaking a colt- The communication should ALWAYS be two way :)
Quite surprising what you find on the tube. So used to seeing all sorts of men with horses, etc. that something so original and simple yet effective just makes you think.The round pen, the tack, the general aspect of the people, the roping skills, no gloves, etc. just give you an idea of how practical and genuine these guys are.Check the guy slapping his thigh gently to get the colt to move, exquisite details! Even the music suits the occasion perfectly, congratulations.
Someone below said that English riders don't understand that this is how you break a horse. First off, there are many different ways to do it, some right, plenty wrong. And if she actually has personal experience in the English discipline, then maybe she's right. But so do I, and plenty of other people do, too. And we all know that this isn't the only way. Plus, I've seen plenty of English riders break a horse the same way these guys do. Breaking a horse really isn't specific enough to categorize different methods as strictly English or Western. The principles are almost exactly the same. Either way, these guys did an awesome job and it's great to see how calm they are.
LookAtThatPaint if you watch the horse falls and fails on Utube , it is English riders, who have spoilt horses. Refusing jumps, and bucking their riders off. Check it out. These people are experts at their craft. When I was a kid, you bucked I’m out in a river bed. You understood that that horse, no matter how much they weighed, could hurt you. I could go on and on about the old ways, but I hate to read long posts. And my memories are 66 years old.
@@debiramirez9287 Not all English riders have spoiled horses, and not all misbehaving horses have been "spoiled". There are just as many Western riders who have misbehaving horses and discriminating by discipline is stupid.
@animallover2233 Because horses mean the world to me. Bonding with a horse....having such a huge animal push so much trust in you is an amazing feeling.
Where I live thers alot of horses roaming around, the owner just let em be and over the years they multiplied and i was told "if you can tame one you can keep one" but i never had any experience with wild horses
Training horses the right way :) Bless you for being so kind to them! I had just watched "having fun at the leathers breaking horses" and I was so saddened by it... Good job for being responsible horsepeople :)
these colts seem to be fresh, i enjoy the way you do everything... though my style is dif. i just gungho it and climb on lol im from the south, thats just how i do, but i belive you have inspired me :)
I suggest taking x-rays and seeing where her joints are in development. We usually start our horses between 2-2 1/2 depending on development...If they are going to be on the taller side we would wait between 3-4 years old, it really depends if our QHs have Thoroughbred in them or not.
it does not 'stump' their growth. They should only be lightly trained and ridden 3 years and younger because they have soft developing bones that damage and break much easier.
My dad has a cattle ranch he brakes horses only for our place. and broke horses for a living using the same methodes and made a living at till he worked with people that buy horses as pet and never ride them. He couldn't handle their stupidity. He would brake the horse and the people would never ride them after braking the horse it sadden him to see a good horse go to waste. Good video.
There's a bucking strap on the english saddle, plus the use of a skilled seat. Plus as BladenChalice1511 said, the horn is not made for holding, but for roping. And honestly, 'breaking' a horse correctly, you shouldn't need to hold onto anything. We work with young Lusitanos here, introducing the saddle and weight slowly so that by the time we start to ride them, they are comfortable and trust us. There's no need for bucking or fear.
I really enjoyed watching you guys break in these horses and such but only one problem when you lasso the horse around its neck won't it hurt the horse? I mean what if the horse keeps on pulling?
My dad trained horses for himself and for people,for around 66 of his 86 years,people would bring him horses to train from all over,because a horse he trained,was reliable,safe,and trust worthy,especially the mountain/hunting horses he trained.his technique involved the no buck method.he always said,his theory was if a horse NEVER bucked with anything on it's back,saddle,pack saddle,or person, then it would be a reliable horse you can count on even in tight situations. He also said if you let on buck or bucked one out you just taught that horse to buck with something on it's back,and some day when you least expect it he might just use that taught trait.and someone could get hurt or killed. He didn't own a pair of Spurs.
@zebadee321 the reason they start out with the western saddle is because that's probably what they will be ridden in and need to get used to the weight on their backs
Stuart Weber how u make the rope haulters is make a loope around there nose then take the exes rope put it over there head then put the end through where u took the rope to the head
Any Tips on catching a 11mth old Colt still running with his mother and a field with 4 other horses all Fillies proving to be pretty hard to catch, he's interested and comes to call will let you stroke him and feed out of your hand but thats it, iv introduced a rope which i have always had success with in the past desenitizing him with it getting it around his nose but as soon as you try and take it to the next step hes off
Awsome! i only wish more people did this stuff, all i see on here are idiots ruining good horses. thank you for posting great music too, realy fits and it reminds me oh here in Oklahoma
Size doesn't really mean anything in maturity in the knees, back, and other joints. Actually, the bigger your horse is supposed to be the slower his joints will mature.
THANK GOD SOMEONE IS BREAKING THE RIGHT WAY OH MY FREAKING GOSH IT TOOK THIS LONG TO FIND A SMART PERSON WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING >.< people if u don't know how to break a horse the right THEN DON'T DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know much about Arabs, but I'm going to assume that they won't get to be 16+ hands. Like I said, take some x-rays to see where they are in development, if all seems to be going fine and everything is maturing at a good pace then I would start between 2-2 1/2. Good luck!
thanks he is allot calmer well....you know he lets us put the saddle on him...he still is just a tiny bit scared but still we can put his saddle on him,now he doesn't do anything but he wont let ME ride him he lets my cousin shes a little bit more experienced with horses than i am oh and btw he's a pony :D
I like the half wits that are always telling someone they are doing it all wrong when they probably have never even been close to a horse in their life.
Sorry, you do not see the communication here, the rope is just the extension of his arm, 3rd ride he may get tangled up in wire, or get in a wreck, and he will yield to pressure, and not hurt himself , or you, from foundation of rope, same as a halter, your eye should see this, been practised and what we have learned to this day, is derived from it.Quit judging, watch , you will see release.
Can't stand how people say that cowboying a horse is wrong coming from half u that dont mean shit now on a horse that has been handled it might be but on a wild mustang those tricks dont work ruff him first then show love break his spirit then build him back up and i know this because ive had one from nevado never laid eyes on a human until two days before i got him yall aint horse whispers if u would have tried that on a mustang he would have bit your face off and stomped u in the mud true story bra
Okay, so... yes, cute horses, but when do they really start riding them? I'm asking various people because I'm going to have to break one of my grandpa's horses, and it'll be my first try. The colt's a packet of hyper sauce too, so I'm very nervous. ^^"
Then leave that age choice up to the trainer. Personally I think you should do groundwork with them throughout their years, even their younger years, but not start them under saddle until they're 2.
Do You believe what stupid farmers have done in the past they will be allowed to do forever? Keeping dogs on chains, cutting tails and ears of dogs and pigs without narcosis, using excessive drugs, poisoning groundwater by farm slurry, keeping herd-and-flight animals in silly boxes. The list is endless. Why should have been horse keeping perfect?

thank u but we just can't get it through their thick skulls what is and what is not animal cruelty this is just simply breaking horses to ride

And there are plenty of people who have a lot to learn about horses and a whole lot to unlearn.

beautiful song! title of song?

this how we do it too in Mexico...
I need a bigger round pen. Mine is only like 20' across
depends on the breed of horse, but typically 2-3 years.
We usually break our horses in when they are around 2yrs old.
these are real cowboys :)
they make it look easy....
@creeksidesurvival well I raise them break them and sell them but its a buyers market
you have nothing to hold onto in an english saddle but you do have a horn on western saddle
The white one looks just like my colt :) (with blue eyes lol)
Who's with me saying horse prices need to go back up I saw a well bred cutting horse trained and all go for 400 dollars
Wouldn't use the word breaking, but more of training :) but they are doing is very well

This is how you break horses. None of that other stuff I've been seeing.
I feel like there are a lot of ways haha thays why there are so many methods...
Roping is not being cruel. I would rather not rope them but, you can never train them if you can't get close to them.
Okay think it as like if your being handcuffed you'll stop pulling...
wow you are such a trainer. You MAKE you horse to do everything you want
Really? What have You seen in the video?
Bernd Horsch What haven't you seen
Is it true that you can judge the horse' mood by looking at its ears?
YOU guys know how to handle a horse!!! I see so many clips of idiots 'breaking horses', you guys are great! Nice clip.

Except for the lasso around the neck part. If you understood how horses interact you would be able to catch one with no rope at all.

I have to agree a horse especially a wild one will see what they can get away with first.
If you paid attention youd realize hes breaking colts, not mustangs. These like 1-2 year olds, so this method of breaking is quite acceptable.
Smh

That's great! That's terrible that they tied him up and left! So they lied to you about his age?
