"The Dancing Arabian"... Thank goodness he has such a patient trainer. It took me 7 yrs. to get my TWH to tolerate being hosed off! He is 23 and I have had him 10 yrs. But he STILL goes to the back of his stall when we use the hose to fill his water bucket! He had at least 7 owners before me so I think he had a lot of baggage to dump before he could trust me. He has come a long way!
😂I used to laugh at my Arab mare when she was being dramatic with something she knew about perfectly well. She would sometimes try to fuss about being washed and hosed, but she _hated_ being laughed at and would immediately stop her nonsense!
I applaud taking the time it takes for each behavior and lesson. And instantly rewarding his try, as well as giving him time to process each lesson / experience. Blessings from NW Florida.
Cool! While I no longer have my Arabian partner & best friend, it's nice to know someone in the area for my friends that do have or plan on getting a horse. Blessings & Merry Christmas! PS, my Arabian was sure he would melt in a rainstorm for his first couple of years!
Been around abd trained a few Arabs Most folks allow this Bath dance to conitue, they think it is just the way the breed is. Like you I want the horse to be clam during a bath. SABOR is actually trying to behave. Love watching your channel and have learnt alot, thabk you sir. Soon Sabor will leave the Arab bath dance behind❤
Omg, I had the same problem with Whilly when he came to me, fly spray too, the first place he accepted it without a temper tantrum was on his chest on a 90 plus degree day lol!. Did the same you are doing, but 1.5 years later he still has a bit of a fit when he first sees the hose or the fly spray,but then when you spray him, he says oh that was not so bad after all. Figure by next spring he will be back to saying the same again first few time, we do not have the weather for flyspraying or washing from November through April! Loved Bubba's "help" lol
Hank does not like a bath and he's been here for 8 years.He swings his hips back and forth. He still does this behavior with his owner but not with me. When he swings to one side I spray the hip, when he swings to the other side I spray that hip. Every time he swings and I spray the other side I keep the water going and spray him in the face on my way to the other side. Took about twice and he quit swinging with me, still does it with his owner.
One of my training steps was to let my mare stand next to a horse that gets hosed down. She was really surprised that the other horse liked it and rubbed her nose into the wet neck. That really helped her to realize it won’t kill her. That doesn’t mean that she stood still, but nothing compared to how she was before. Washing is still work in progress. ❤
I’ve been fortunate enough to ride so many breeds in my short, 10 years of horse experience. An Arabian will always have the first stall. Lots of people can work a horse by thinking 10 steps ahead of the horse, but it takes true horsemanship to work a horse by thinking a mile ahead of one. The best, yet sometimes most challenging, part of an Arabian is that they will demand a mutual intelligence partnership. Like you stated in an earlier video with this gelding, you can’t tire out an Arabian. But you can’t outsmart one, either. You truly have to bring equality and respect or else both human and horse will fail. As an owner of an Arabian mare who I feel is nearly a mirror of this gelding, I appreciate the reminder that simple tasks, such as lunging, aren’t always cookie cutter and “by the book”. Horses deserve their own space to succeed, and an Arabian’s requirement looks a whole lot different than a QH or even a TB. Great work and content!
He is taking this water thing pretty good but definitely not liking it! If he was good and sweaty and it was a hot summer he just might smile! Evidently he was never really exposed to having a rinse off or a bath! Odd combination of handling training with this fella! He is doing really good but water is not his friend...but it will be!! You have such a good approach with Saber and it will payoff big time!! He is definitely worth the time!!
Saber is a very beautiful horse and intelligent. I love the way you handle the horses…I would take any horse I would have to you and help me with it. I’ve learned a lot from these lessons and I just wish I could have seen them when I was able to ride and be with them many times. I was a teenager then and rode horses often, but they were never my horses. I just found your channel and even though I am unable to ride horses anymore, due to health issues, I’m 75, it doesn’t keep me from trying to brush or feed them whenever I am able to get around and be with them. These lessons help me understand behaviors and how to deal with some horses. Patient is the key to anything worthwhile doing and for positive results. Thank you for sharing this information. HIGH 5….👍❤️🙏🏼😇
I have a new story line for this. Arabians are from the desert. Sabre is trying to tell you to watch our a flood is coming. You are so patient, with all of us.
That is the silliest reaction I've ever seen! 😅 Reminds me of my chiweenie just before he goes into the bath, he starts paddling his feet when he doesn't have to paddle at all lol❤
That wash rack rinse sounded like I imagine a Paso Fino on the 1st day of dance school would sound. A big protest by a horse that doesn't want to be a bad boy.
One of my Arabian mares wasn't fond of having her back legs hosed down. She would hold her foot about a foot off the ground until I took the hose off but never kicked. If that changed the way the water felt running down her leg I'll never know.
My older mare was like this with the hose - took time with same method here- slow and light and did not remove stream until she was calm - but she grew to accept it no problem which was very handy when she got a serious injury later in her life which required cold water
I just watched another video with this horse, and i would have thought that he was much younger, by his actions. He was terrified of everything. What is his backstory? Has he always been kept stalled and only arena ridden? Your son in law was very patient, and you are as well. After seeing that ride and the fact that as a 7-8 year old that is so fearful of basically everything, whoever is on him has their hands full. Lots of disrespectful behavior. Good luck. Wish he had found you sooner.
Thing of it is ..seeing as he was gelding just a few days before putting him under that kind of pressure..in the barn, horse right next to him, making him deal with water he didn't get dangerous..bite,charge,act like a stud..those hormones are still running
My Arab stallion hated water, especially being bathed with a hose, warm water is better tolerated. But my horse never liked water no matter how I tried! He was part Egyptian desert bred part polish and usually wonderfully calm…just water fobia.
Can you turn all the horses out together or do you have to pick who gets along the best? I know you said during your tour video that some go out at night because they don’t tolerate heat very well. He tolerated having his body hosed better than I expected.
All short term training horses are turned out individually. Horses that are here longer I will turn out in small groups and I can usually tell pretty quickly who will get along with who.
A little off topic: looking at the rope halter you have on, do you prefer this kind with the straight nose band over the ones with knots or does it not matter in your opinion ?
@@timandersonhorsetraining I am aware. It still makes me fidget. Same way with dogs with hair in their eyes. Amazing job with Sabre. His has a song named after him. Sabre Dance.
Typical Arabian. No need to be so sensitive. It is not slander. I have owned them, ridden them for other people, handled them in halter classes. They use their feet, they dance when anxious. They have their own gait for gosh sakes. It is called the park. Arabians are more animated than other breeds. Please don't be so easily offended.
No it’s not “typical “. Have 3 pure bred and one half/arab at home. They all enjoy their rinse. Two of them will stand without a halter and enjoy their rinse.

its so funny watching the other horse peek over whenever youre working in the wash stall lol. what a curious boy!
What a beautiful, elegant specimen of an Arabian this horse is. I’m so glad he is in your hands.❤❤❤
That was the gentlest little freak out I have ever seen. He really wants to please. There is a lot of mind and try in him.
Oh the tippy tappy dance. Amazing training Tim. Love your calm nature which really helps with an unsure Sabor. Hes trying so hard to be a good boy ❤❤❤
You're so skilled at bringing out the best in every horse! I can't wait to see him under saddle.❤
What a sweet smart Arabian ! Trying so hard and Tim you are a wonderful intelligent and sensitive trainer! Perfect for gorgeous Saber! 🐎 💕 Fan Club?😊
Best comment. Totally 👍

At what speed a horse learns, amazing.
"He touched me!" 😂
Being able to wait is such an art!
Sabre is beautiful! Your training is great!

Bubba looks like he’s trying to make friends
While he shapes their behavior, its clear that his horses also get to be themselves. No fear. Respect is a two way street.
To me, looks-wise, he’s about as perfect as it gets. I’d love to have this horse.
He is very nice.
Been around abd trained a few Arabs

He generally really wants to be good.
The bath dance!😂😂 Yes! Except we had to deal with it outside the barn where the hose was- bath dance spins!😅
Omg, I had the same problem with Whilly when he came to me, fly spray too, the first place he accepted it without a temper tantrum was on his chest on a 90 plus degree day lol!.

@@timandersonhorsetraininggoing to have to use that trick!
My Arab HATED baths in Oregon. Here in Arizona, he stands perfectly still. What a difference hot weather makes. 😄
Yes. Teaching a horse to stand for a bath is much easier in the summer.
One of my training steps was to let my mare stand next to a horse that gets hosed down.
She was really surprised that the other horse liked it and rubbed her nose into the wet neck.
That really helped her to realize it won’t kill her.
That doesn’t mean that she stood still, but nothing compared to how she was before.
Washing is still work in progress. ❤
I, too, saw the benefit of the 'other' horse.
Dogs learn from each other too. A new pup watching how the older dogs work, learns much more quickly.
Awe!! Is he ever gorgeous😊😊! It's so nice to watch a trainer that knows what he is doing training horses😊👍
Love nosy Bubba looking over the stall 🤣
Good morning guys, Great job Tim. thank you for video,😄
I'M MELTING! I'M MELTING! OH WICKED WORLD
Arab washrack drama. Piaffe training too😂❤

A general thing I've found with Arabians is they do want to be clean just don't like a bath.
@@timandersonhorsetraining I bet from being desert horses a long, long time ago! They don't know that, but their genes do!
Im surprised Bubba isnt actually shaking his head and laughing. I can hear him thinking, "Drama, drama, drama."
Nice one 😂😂😂 !!!
He's doing great Tim!!!
Gotta love Bubba? the nosey Parker! You clearly have the patience of Job. Beautiful horse, looking forward to his future.

I’ve heard trainers and horse people say “I don’t do Arabs.” Your doing an amazing job with him. Looking forward to next video.
Thank you. I loved this lesson. I used a scraper stick back in the 60’s and your tool is a 100% improvement in getting water off the horse.
dressage horse right there, he already know how to do piaffe :)
That is the silliest reaction I've ever seen! 😅 Reminds me of my chiweenie just before he goes into the bath, he starts paddling his feet when he doesn't have to paddle at all lol❤
You have so much patience, that is important. Love to see your video’s!
Great lesson.
That wash rack rinse sounded like I imagine a Paso Fino on the 1st day of dance school would sound. A big protest by a horse that doesn't want to be a bad boy.
Tim say's - "Don't look at him (Bubba), he ain't doing it (Bubba, ain't doing the hosing to you Saber) 😀😁😂😃😄 !!!!!!
Saber the prima donna! He's a beautiful horse...
Bubba is a lot more switched on, then he used to be 😂😂😂 !!!!!! 😆 👌 !!!
Steady progress..
Don't believe anyone helped him through this in his past
Hes never been shown that standing still is relaxing..i bet he doesn't understand how to distress himself

What a good boy for not being hosed before. I would protest too as I bet that water is kind of cold 🙂
It's warm water.
@@timandersonhorsetraining That is nice. He really has no excuse to object then , does he?
I just watched another video with this horse, and i would have thought that he was much younger, by his actions. He was terrified of everything. What is his backstory? Has he always been kept stalled and only arena ridden? Your son in law was very patient, and you are as well.

Good luck. Wish he had found you sooner.
I answer most of those questions in the first video of him.
Oh I am sorry. I thought this was the first. I will keep looking. Love how y'all have the patience of Job.
Thing of it is ..seeing as he was gelding just a few days before putting him under that kind of pressure..in the barn, horse right next to him, making him deal with water he didn't get dangerous..bite,charge,act like a stud..those hormones are still running
Wait til he has to cross a creek
Tomorrow he'll be 75% better, the 3rd day 90% better, and after that, a pro.
My Arab stallion hated water, especially being bathed with a hose, warm water is better tolerated. But my horse never liked water no matter how I tried! He was part Egyptian desert bred part polish and usually wonderfully calm…just water fobia.
Why are your saddle blankets in the wash area? Do you not mat your wash area? I think your videos are great
It looks like you are doing the two step with him at one point!
Can you turn all the horses out together or do you have to pick who gets along the best? I know you said during your tour video that some go out at night because they don’t tolerate heat very well. He tolerated having his body hosed better than I expected.
All short term training horses are turned out individually. Horses that are here longer I will turn out in small groups and I can usually tell pretty quickly who will get along with who.
Bet he'll be the first to jump and play in a stream😁
I missed the lessons watching Bubba. Jk. Haha
A little off topic: looking at the rope halter you have on, do you prefer this kind with the straight nose band over the ones with knots or does it not matter in your opinion ?
Good question. I prefer no knots. If the horse "needs" the knots, then I heed to fix the problem causing the horse to need the knots.
Yes good reasoning, makes sense now
Arabs seem to be the cats in horse world.
Sabre is insulted lol.
Bubba 😂😂😂 !!! 😆 👌 !!!
❤❤❤
In seven/eight years of his life, had no one bathed him with a hose??
My two year old just try’s to eat it
How do his bangs affect his perception? Sometimes I think their swing their head to get the hair out of their eyes.
Horses have forelocks, not bangs. Never seen one swing their head to get their hair out of their eyes.
So cool to watch Saber. You are great with him. He is beautiful even when he is dancing! ❤
At times it almost seemed Tim was dancing with him. He is so in tune and moving with Saber as needed.
@@timandersonhorsetraining I am aware. It still makes me fidget. Same way with dogs with hair in their eyes.

ironically, I've never had an arab hate water, the worst I've ever had to bathe were AQHA halter prospects lol
@@casdragon_5939 I have had a few. More about the dancing and fancy footwork.
No it’s not “typical “. Have 3 pure bred and one half/arab at home. They all enjoy their rinse. Two of them will stand without a halter and enjoy their rinse.
Really nice 👍🩵✌️
