Please show what you did differently to fix the buck..........
With all due respect, what was the point of this video if you don’t at least touch on how you had failed to prepare him for you to get on.
Love your philosophy Ryan. From our family in SE Asia ❤😌🙏
If you notice he didn’t practice moving the saddle in repetition before ridding.
Ryan, I have 50 years of horse experience. A vet and I once discussed how it is so natural to us to be with horses, we become complacent. A good horseman/woman will always stay aware, and admit when they can do better. I love what you do. You are a great trainer. Thank you for your videos.
Amen that! The only times I’ve ever been hurt by horses is when I was being complacent, or in a hurry and not bothering to read the horses cues. In hindsight, I was lucky, but it sure taught me to never lose sight of the fact that they have a mind of their own, and outweigh me by 1000+ lbs.

Really good training I broke alot of horses

Thanks for showing the "bad" sessions/rides. It's refreshing to see a trainer - especially one traveling the country - say "hey, I was wrong, I effed up and got myself in a pickle!"
Super glad you weren't hurt and I think you handled it really well. Firm and trying to stay safe but still managing to be kind to the horse as much as possible.
These days, it's refreshing to hear _anyone_ say, "I was wrong."
Yes! Would have liked to seen a tad more of HOW you got out of your pickle!! And the beginning of the next ride! BECAUSE if any of us have ever ridden, we’ve gotten into a pickle at one time or another!! I did notice that you went from one side to the other-and really good timing as the horse was in a spot where you were able…that my friend is response to feel! REALLY ENJOYED your videos , so glad I found you!!
Thank you for having the humility to admit you possibly misread him. It just causes us to appreciate you all the more. I gasped audibly and jumped when the bucking started. I was on headphones. My husband was like, " Wha-what?" 😁
😂 thanks
Man seeing how calmly u were riding that storm, respect. No panic at all. A man of his talent.
Thanks 👍
A year ago I bought a horse that was unknowingly like this one. He was a little reactive in the beginning on the ground which should have been my first clue. With some time and a lot of patience he became very trusting with me on the ground. I really liked him. It wasn’t until I started asking a little more of him under saddle that these behaviors came out; he was not predictable. I started over a few times with his training. I did everything that you did in the video. The first time he bucked me off he seriously hurt me but I didn’t give up. I came back with a new game plan and restarted him like I would a youngster even having someone longe him with me on his back. I took it slow gradually increasing time in the saddle. I then had some really good rides; especially trail rides. He seemed to like trail rides. Until… he took off bucking while I was getting on. He was startled by a pair of riders that popped out of the woods the moment I was getting on. The mistakes I made was that I was not fully paying attention to him while getting on as I was talking with my friend. I didn’t see the signs that he was telling me he was feeling nervous. I didn’t get back on. I couldn’t. In that moment I totally lost my confidence in this horse. This horse definitely had a very thin threshold. I was hoping that he would be horse that not only I could ride but that I could put my grandkids on. It was a hard realization that he would never be that horse. I did not have the skill level or bravery to work this horse through this issue. I found him a more suitable home with a cowboy that was not intimidated by this behavior and really likes him. I’m relieved that he is now in a more suitable home.
Thanks for seeing to his future. It's sooooo hard to admit that it's not a good match
God bless brave cowboys.....and bless you for doing everything you could to make him a ride-able horse.
It can be hard to let go of an idea of how we thought things could be. It was brave to do so. Glad you found him a good fit!
Tracy Lee I could almost have written your post myself except my story is not as far along. I’m at the point where I was seriously injured once( when he violently spooked and I came off, I was on him bareback) and have started him all over again, tons of ground work. I’m getting up the nerve or stupidity to get back on. I don’t want to come off again and with a reactionary/spooky horse like him there’s a good chance I will. I too have wished to find him a home with a cowboy who is younger and braver than me who can give him a a job. Maybe after his elderly mare companion goes I will. In my youth I was a fearless rider but now in my late 60’s I’m ultra cautious. Hence why I watch videos by good trainers like Ryan.
@@sidilicious11 You both are me. I’m wondering if I can start riding again. My 2 horses are too old to ride. I now know how difficult it is to find a “grandma safe” horse…..Gosh,I love them.
About time someone in the training world showed a real life example of what can go wrong. Thank you.
Seriously!!
The wisest teachers address mistakes, including their own.
Truth
You are a phenomenal rider, and we all respect you so much. As someone your mother's age, please wear a helmet with hot horses. It doesn't diminish the riding experience and you won't lose any street cred. No shame in protecting your skull.
Helmets are always a good idea. I know of two people killed when their quiet "kid broke" horses slipped and fell. One of them was on the walk between the arena and the barn. You only have one brain. Do your best to treat it right.
@@goatgirl5968 how sad. Accidents can definitely happen.
read my top comment; i SO agree with u!!
Having had more concussions than I care to remember, I second helmet suggestion. Have also hit my head hard wearing a helmet and it makes a significant difference.
The upside is that he learned that behavior won't get you off. Actually a valuable lesson for him too.
I'm not a horseman, but to me, there was no mistake where at the end of a very patient, careful, and thoughtful process to determine if the horse is ready to ride, and the horse is demonstrating he may be ready, it turns out he needs a little more work. The only way to test if he is really ready is by riding him.
After reviewing this video Ryan I don’t think you did anything wrong, you did all the proper steps knowing the history of this horse and it’s bucking. What I think the break through came from was the fact you sat quietly and knew not to dismount yet. This made the horse realize that even though he had a blow out of cloister phobia the fact he lived through it with a rider changed his demeanour. You didn’t discipline what I think the horse was thinking this outcome was coming but you remained calm and quiet. A true horseman! But this goes to show even a well prepared horse can change in a split second.
Some horses are very good at hiding their concerns. Well done for sticking it through!
He is a true pro at handling horses and he shows it by helping understand the horse and NOT making it about what a person wants ...
Love seeing a trainer like you that doesn’t try and replicate bad behaviours, doing things over and over when there’s nothing new to learn, and can admit their mistakes. Also saying “I’m in a bit of a pickle” when a horse is actively trying to put you on the ground is both hilarious and a wonderful calm way of teaching the horse and yourself. Great video!
Not gonna lie I did fast forward to look for the crash n burn scene.
😂
I am resisting the urge🤣
Me too!
Haha I refrained from doing that same thing.
Same.
Thank you, Ryan for your honesty. You're reaction to immediately bring his head around to take control was amazing!!
Ryan, Buster Welch said " I know I can train the next one better." Blessed to have 60 years of horses in my life and I still am excited to learn new ways to help my horse. Glad you weathered that storm🤤!!! Till you have sat on a horse that feels like a stick of dynamite waiting to blow, you are lucky, when your boots hit the ground. Stepping off is dicey for sure. Take care from a fellow Wisconsinite, live now in Missouri Susan
He could have actually been more at risk trying to get off than sticking with it like he did.
Having been in a similar situation, with a new 4 yr. old mare in cutting training that I had just bought. Trainer was gone but had the ok to ride her and work a few cows. Pulling the winter blanket off of her she jumped sideways hadn't done that before. Saddled up stepped on her started to warm her up at a walk. I had ridden her 6 times already and she was always quiet. Well she started bucking, Second jump or so I had the inside elbow hooked around the saddle horn, no hand on it. I am hanging her left side and it was hit the ground or sink my right spur into her right side flank area😨to pull myelf back up on her. Luckily got back in the saddle and could turn one rein to stop her. You bet when stopped you better get off quick keeping that head bend. NOW HERE IS WHAT I FOUND OUT LATER, HE HAD GIVEN HER SHOT OF ANTIBIOTICS IN HER HINDQUARTERS AND SHE WAS TENDER IN THAT AREA. That explained what happened that day. Getting on or off for horses you don't know is one of the most dangers time. Any horse you mount that you for sure don't know always keep that head bend round to your knee. Like having a bit of a parking brake. Take care Susan
@@martylesnick2032 can’t believe he didn’t let you know
Woah! That was a surprise! Good job handling the situation Ryan!
The editing for this was amazing the wind up to the "oops" moment was perfect 🤣
You are brilliant. Don't feel you need to over-apologise.
I love this video! It's so great to hear a rolemodel pointing out their own mistakes and inviting the audience to learn from it as well.
I would love to see this video with a voiceover where you point out specific signs and points in the process where you think you could have done things differently and how. I would also like see what happened after this video. How do you finish off a session that has gone this bad? And when it was time for the next session what did you do differently?
Thank for an awesome channel!
Yes! Me too. That would be invaluable.
Me too! He looked good to me also - I'd love to know in hindsight what the signs were to save my butt when I'm in a similar situation
Me too…
I like how you edited this... with all the times you said he seemed ok. Thankyou. Great reminder a horse can be unpredictable even in the incredible preparation.
Great video! That's a really pretty horse!!!
Thanks man!
This video shows one of the best ways to prepare a horse to ride that may buck. Ryan also demonstrates how to save yourself if the horse does buck... he IMMEDIATELY pulls the horse's head around to the side to get control. Take the lessons here seriously.
Refreshing to see one of the Pros show a mistake. Sometimes we learn most from mistakes and Ryan put humility before ego. Not always easy to do, so commendable. I think this sold me on getting a patreon membership
Love how you take the responsibility for this incident--the first thing I was taught is that it's always the rider's fault, never the horse's fault. Not only that, you took responsibility for not turning this incident into another bad learning experience for this horse--you stayed on until he calmed down. And then obviously you turned it around the next day; it was so good to see this ball-of-anxiety horse feeling comfortable & relaxed with you in the saddle. All's well that ends well.
You are so wonderful. Very glad you did not get hurt because the horse world needs people like you to do this dangerous job, that actually have the timing, FEEL, and mental awareness to read the horses as well as you do. Love your work. My husband and I have been doing the same thing for over 25 years and I am so pleased to see someone of your ability to help the even younger generations. Keep up the great work.
I have a horse just like this, and it has taken me four years to understand him. He’s taught me more than any other horse in my lifetime. I find this video reassuring, because it shows how these types of horses are, and that it’s just the way their brain is wired. I only ride him when I can tell from the ground that he’s ok with it. I use groundwork the rest of the time. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for showing that all of us make mistakes. I like how you made a point to say you couldn't just get off because that would have taught him the lesson that I can act up, and the rider will get off my back. Great ride!
Sometimes you just gotta say, "Oops!" Thank you for being big enough to do it, Ryan. Much appreciated.
I’m loving everything you do and are saying! I’m a hunter jumper pro who still starts horses- it’s complicated and rewarding, I can’t say it any better than you are! Awesome! Awesome! And ✅✅ we train very similarly, no surprise:)
Thank you for sharing this part. We do risk a lot as trainers and first I’m glad everything turned out ok. Second people need to know that we are vulnerable when we do these things with their horses. Thank you again!!!
Excellent editing!!! And thank you Ryan for having the integrity and courage to show us this valuable lesson!
This video for me really proves what a great trainer you are, we all make mistakes but to be able to share this, shows that you have not lost sight of your abilities and helps viewers to be aware of what can happen. I’m so pleased that you weren’t injured. I’ve seen a lot of trainers believe they are invincible and definitely lean towards a “one size fits all”. It shows to viewers that even with what you believe is good preparation, things can go wrong. Thank you for sharing this, it’s such an important lesson for us all and proof that we should never stop learning and realise that if something doesn’t go right, we need to look at doing things differently, to allow for the individuality of every horse. ❤🇩🇰
Agreed. The trainers who do their one size fits all dogma cause so much more harm.
This path of always seeking the better way humbles us. I have been working with horses for 30 years and still learning to better myself everyday so I can be a better student of the horse. Thank you for sharing.
Great video.....part of the journey! Nice horse, sensitve and very green in his mind set. You cannot express enough about how every horse is different! Every horse trainer I have ever been around finds those horses that are just a bit different in the sentivity department AND they can be a surprise! You did a fine job of controlling and directing him even with his out burst!
Thanks
I didn't really see a "mistake," I just saw a horse that wasn't quite ready. 😊
That was like watching a scary movie and we knew something was coming but didn't know when. Great job on staying on and staying with the horse. Now that you have had time to think about it what do you think you could've done differently? Good Job Ryan!
We have to check our ego at the door. You were human and the horse was being a horse. Thank you for being humble and seeing the lesson. The worst I ever was hurt was by my unicorn. I forgot who I was riding. He is so willing, trainable and a skeerty cat all wrapped in one. I got yard darted on my neck. I got impatient and gigged him. He didn't understand, instead of backing up and approaching again. I pushed because I KNEW we were ready. "We" weren't. I was and he was asking all the questions.
The fact you posted this video speaks volumes about your character, you are a welcome sight in this day and age where people love to hide their mistakes. Keep up the awesome work!
The editing is hilarious 😂
You did a great job staying on when he reacted. I totally agree that working with horses has inherent risks. Training with a good foundation, as you do helps. I train with what I hope is a thorough foundation for a particular horse. Thank you 😊
Tip my hat Ryan. Well done.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. ❤️
I would have wet my pants and never gotten on a horse again. I am so impressed with your technique, understanding, and care of these horses. I am scared to death of horses, was thrown once, and was taken on a wild ride, out of control, into a barn another time.
So needless to say, I don't ride,but I admire them from afar. GODS BLESSINGS ON YOU, SIR.😊🙏
Thank you for sharing this one, Ryan.
I'm sure you have already been studying this video for anything that you may have missed, before you got on.
If you didn't see any "signs" that you may had missed, on the ground, then it seems like there should be no reason to second guess yourself. But like you said, he taught you something, that day.
Love watching you work!
Glad that both you, and the horse, came out of it ok.
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Another way of saying it is, "Experience is what you get when you were expecting something else." Glad you are safe - with more experience.
Nice riding.
I think you did a fantastic job you didn't yank at his head you just settled him down realised your mistake and helped him through. Love your way of starting a horse.
Excellently handled.
Thank you 🙏
I don’t have a horse or know anyone with a horse, but I’ve watched like 5 back to back videos of yours, Ryan.
😂
This video is SO valuable and instructive to me. I don't even have a horse right now but Ryan's attitude, manner of thinking and working and his beautiful dedication to giving his best for the job (in this case, the horse) is what I want to emulate. I am going to start watching these videos regularly to instruct me in my daily life.
A high strung, green broke horse was jumpy, anxious & acted out, despite prep. It happens. Horse was in good hands & needed saddle time to get through his fears. I would love to have seen the strategies for leveling him up, but clearly you moved him forward. Hard job! Thanks for including. He kind of reminded me of a race horse maybe more than a pleasure riding horse. So much respect for your style.
More videos like this need to be put out there. Unfortunately timing and reading the horses behaviour is what the non professionals need. Seeing things that do happen not just the easy flow situations.
I'd like to have seen though how you approached the next ride. That's the interesting part.
Thanks for your time
I just want to own a small farm to raise 2 donkeys ! I love donkeys !! Been raised around horses my whole life and this guys is pretty good ! The world needs more people like this !
wow , buddy you stayed on ...thats impressive , i learned sooooo much from this .....i went through same crazy ride ....except i got thrown....watched this part several times ,,noticed rapid yanking to the side kept the horse under control....thnx buddy.... THIS video caused me to sign up to patreon ,WHY because i love your teaching and Now you proved it here .crap happens and how to deal with it.thnx bro
So, watching this and learning…what should you have seen that you didn’t? What was the sign that he wasn’t ready? What step was missing? It all looked just fine to me and I would have climbed on also, thinking his mind was accepting (and I’m not even close to being a trainer or expert). Thanks for all you do and show us! You’re awesome, Ryan!!
This was a very good video to watch. I made the same assumptions you did about the horse and thought he was chilled enough to ride. Good thing you have a firm seat and very gentle hands that were able to help you both out of the pickle without injuries. Well played!!
There is nothing more impressive than confidence and self control.
Love this rope leg give while in motion! I think this is even better for training them for accident situations than being still and leading them with the leg rope! Thanks!
So lucky my guy is easy going, it's a real eye opener. Do you think this horse will get more mellow as he gets older or always be reactive?
I read him the same! Thanks for putting this video out so people can see why it is important to put a foundation on them no matter what.
Well done Ryan, showing your genuine. 😊 Thank goodness you are ok.
Thank you for showing us when things don’t go as planned. Would love to see the rest and how that finished. I had similar experience and would love to know how to do better next time.
That horse reminds me of an incredible horse I had. A lot of hours went into making her what she was, and it was worth it. I hope the owners of this one get that from him.
I think this is one of the coolest videos you have posted. Seeing that you can acknowledge mistakes and explain them makes me more willing to watch more. I don't even have a horse XD
That thing about getting too quiet with a horse? That sounds familiar, I 'm gonna think on that a little bit. Thanks, glad nothing was broken in that flare-up!
Proof that no matter who you are, we never stop learning. Horses are good at throwing those curve balls lol
Much respect for your humbleness... Thanks for your honesty and for sharing...I just found your page recently. Excited to learn more about your program!
Thank you for your honesty. It’s nice to see your humility and confidence. Thank you!
I have made many mistakes over my life with horses- will likely make more- but to acknowledge and learn from is what gives experience and creates a better rider- horse relationship,
Great to see a trainer take responsibility for their faults- good work Ryan!
great video and thanks for showing the less than perfect situation. i learned alot from you and this horse and appreciate your honesty.
Thank you for sharing, great job doing the best you could for the horse and getting to a successful place. We all make mistakes and thankfully the horse is forgiving and you did not get hurt.
Thank you for sharing this, this was encouraging to me as it reminded me that I can't expect myself to be 100% perfect. Also I admire how you don't have any ego, and are willing to share your mistakes so we can learn from them. That definitely shows how trustworthy you are.
Thank you. I love how this was edited. Specifically the part just before you mount. ☺️ Your attitude about the situation is admirable.
Thank you for showing your mistakes. I find that lots of trainers don't want to talk about or show when they make mistakes thinking it will turn people off to their work. I actually love seeing trainers be open about their mistakes, because all of us learn something when you show them.
I appreciate your honesty and showing this and just talking about it!
Really well done Ryan. Thank you for putting the honest ride out there. So many only put out the fluff and lead people into dangerous situations.
Ryan I appreciate your honesty and it is a lot to put this video out there for all to see. It also shows that horses do have different mindsets and can give you the unexpected. Thanks for what you do. Stay safe and keep giving us your experiences and training.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I hope one day other trainers will follow you and share their „bad days“ or mistakes so that people who are watching this educational stuff can stop thinking they’re the only ones making mistakes, and prepare themselves better for situations like the one seen in this video.
Thank you for being open and honest! I love what you do to help horses and riders. You've helped my horse and I so much!
Mad respect for your integrity!
Thank you for showing this Ryan. I find most horse training videos always show a horse that has "been there done that". Your training videos are real and with horses with different experiences, and I thank you for that!
I love a sensitive, high strung horse but they are a challenge and not for everyone. I have to admit having some of the same thoughts as you at the end, usually when I’m picking myself up and dusting off! This was a highly informative video, thanks.👏
Thanks for your honesty and for explaining everything that happened!
I joined Patreon because of this video. I’ve watched your other videos, and I like the way you handle horses and explain things. I also appreciate your honesty. I’m looking forward to learning more from you.
I love how you actually take in your mistakes and not act lik it's the horses fault or come up with an excuse as to why you are right.
Thank you
With you on that
❤
Thank you for sharing this learning and training opportunity. Mistakes are excellent teachers.
Great job Ryan there lots to take away from this video… even after you got in trouble it was a clinic on how to stay calm and keep handling the horse in a controlled manner
Thank you for including this to show that it doesn't always go as planned. I would have liked to see how you ended the 'bad' ride, what groundwork you likely did at the end of it, and maybe learn more about what you did to get him to the point of the new ride. Love your methods and thanks for sharing all you do!
I love his humbleness and appreciate truly his honesty about both his perspective and outlook on horse trainers. I truly wish there were so so many more trainers like him in our world
Your horsemanship during the ride was incredible! We are all blessed to have you and thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
Wonderful self awareness and humbleness. I think also it's important that as riders we also don't forget that horses makes mistakes. Some times they can also surprise themselves and make an error in judgement, so it's always a partnership and we have to give ourselves and the horse grace. Love watching!
I enjoyed watching this video. I had a horse exactly like this one. I got him as a yearling and did all the ground work even taught him to ground drive and dragging tires. I started riding him late his two year old year. He did outstanding! The spring of his 3 year old year he blew up on me bad. No warnings of a troubled mind which he was consistent with all the while I owned him until the spring of his 10 year old year. He was so random with his episodes. I did manage to get him very well broke, I team sorted on him and trail rode him in multiple states. I could never get him over the random bucking. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong or I missed something. Your video explained to me that some horses will always be this way. I needed to hear that! I hated to give up on him especially when he could be such an amazing ride when he had the right frame of mind. I usually got thrown a couple times a year and as I am approaching 60 years old my husband insisted I couldn't keep doing this. He of course was very right. I was heart broken to sell him and to think of the rough life he has ahead of him.
Thank you for sharing, Ryan. I was in a similar situation a year ago. I thought I had done a sufficient job preparing a colt for his first ride but learned quickly that he disagreed! I unfortunately was injured in the process so the horse continued his education with another trainer/friend. This was a great video. I look forward to your content every week. Wish I lived closer so I could ride with you 😊
Thank you for your honesty. I have enjoyed your channel and will continue to see your videos. You are right every horse is different.
"I'm in a pickle" 🤣🤣🥰🥰 love and respect from 🇬🇧
Love the editing,,of your confidence vs what happened 😂. Nothing is 100% with training ,,but with your level of skill very little go's wrong ,,seeing this is very educational ,, and encouraging ,, this stuff happens,and a change of tactics is usually the answer.
60+ years of horsemanship still learning ,, starting my last little horse now ,,rather slowly,,as I'm rather slow ,,but wanting a strong base for what I'm going to be asking in future ,, which will be very varied ,,but they have a huge amount of freedom ( they can roam the mountain and deserted fincas ),so if I don't work on connection and leadership ,,they quickly get ideas of their own .🤔🐎
Ryan really raises the bar for good horsemanship,,and demonstrates it in a way that's very accessible ,to both horses and humans ,,,AWESOME🐕👩🌾🐎♥️🌏
I don’t see that you made any mistakes!! I wish I had an eight of the skill and knowledge you have!! Thank you for what you share with the ones of us who strive to learn!!
I would love to see more videos with right brained horses. I have a rising 3 yr old Arabian gelding that hasn't started any serious training yet. I need all the help I can get 😁.
I so appreciate your humility!
