Great demonstration of the horse searching, searching for what you are requiring and, then, the realisation of when “the penny drops”.👏🏻 Beautiful horse, gorgeous colours and markings.♥️
Brilliant … always an enjoyment to watch you working with a horse to bring them around. What’s even more amazing is you do it within minutes most of the time … not days, weeks or months! What’s also wonderful is this helps the horse cope so much easier than their previous flight response. Such a blessing you are to these horses! Happy Trails! 🙏🙌✝️❤️🇨🇦
I tried to mount from the right side this morning and my horse turned around so he stood perfectly for me to get on from the left (which is how I usually get on). Pretty sure he thought "what on earth is she trying to do now" I regularly saddle and dismount from the right so he's ok with that at least 😂
Yet another wonderful teaching video, Thank You Steve! Even though I had trouble hearing your voice with the "echo", horses particularly respond to body language, so I did learn a lot!
love the siding up work. almost magic. and now that I am old and really need it - to the point of needing a rock to climb up on the rock to get on the horse, I am especially grateful. thank you!
I never understood before why going in to the mounting block the wrong way was so important. Although I’m now 85 and no longer around horses, I still appreciate these moments! Love this channel.
Yes, it's still fascinating to learn more and more about them isn't it. The more we learn, the more we realise how much we've missed, but wonderful to be able to continue life long learning.
@@BerylForrestlove this. The older I’ve become, the more I’ve realised how every horse I had the privilege to work with had a significant lesson to teach me, sometimes even about myself. They’re wonderful teachers, and therapists!
Why are you no longer around horses? Our trainer who is also still a farrier had no issues working our pushy and potentially dangerous horse despite being close to 80. Surely riding a well trained horse is safer and easier.
My horse responds exactly the same. I’ve been working with her the same way, but think I need to build in more “breaks” for her as you do. She’s getting better everyday, but I’m still not there that she stays easily at the block all the time. Thanks for your video Steve! 🙏🙏
@@lieke4635 Also keep in mind, she is not really “hooked up” with you as her leader, like the leader of a pack of wolves, you need to get complete control on the ground, break down the steps. Mounting her is what she is mentally resisting, she is resisting you actually riding her, it’s a dangerous attitude. So, practice making her open and shut gates with you on the ground, work on backing and “heeling” and holding perfectly still, for as long as you say so, like a champion halter horse on the ground. Then hold her position with you mounting, not riding, just the steps over and over, mounting, until she doesn’t take a step anywhere that you don’t tell her too. She cannot be in charge of any movement of her body, unless you are not in the space. Anything else is large and in charge, a very dangerous attitude. Monty Roberts is also very good, to understand this fundamental principle of horsemanship.
Excellent learning 👌 I noticed this time, watching this again, that the horse was short in the near fore, showed up in the back up. I wonder if there's a problem with the shoulder and if pain is ruled out, possibly, was it a mental block from the horse's previous experiences? and could free up with the correct handling as Steve demonstrated. Such an interesting video , thank you Guys 🙏
Love this! I am always amazed at how quickly you can accomplish these changes. Thankfully, the owner did seek out help. Because it is so dangerous whenever a horse won't stay put whenever you are mounting. Thanks so much for the demo, Steve. I haven't owned horses now for over 20 years. But I sure could have learned alot of techniques from you! Happy Trails! 🐎 Suzy
I have been watching her channel for years, and I am still amazed at how fast some of these horses change, not amazed, because you aren’t great at what you do I am amazed become some of them just seem really hardheaded or scared or whatever this gray was beautiful. Sometimes it is hard to hear you though when you are inside of a arena.
You have to be Smarter then your horse. They know folks. Animal or Human we are pack animals. Who will lead the pack ? It’s amazing a 180lb human can get an 1000b animal do the amazing things The Horse has done for us.
That point where Charlotte was speaking was on purpose. Steven started telling about a situation and asked Charlotte to tell it while the horse rested in the mounting position. As Steven has said quite a few times, it is when the horse is not being required to do anything that it is learning the most. He gives the horses time after they’ve succeeded, even partially, in understanding what is being asked of them. I hope this helps. I wish we could have heard that story. It sounded very interesting from the snippet that Steven started.
Seeet girl is so nervous to side up I wonder why. His nostrils are going. Sweet girl. When I am done with him I put him in the paddock and he has an opportunity to stay with me before I leave I don’t ask him to keep away he knows if he asks I will scratch his face and it’s a special time we get and it’s very nice.
Another great example of horsemanship. Loved it, stunning 😍 horse but Steve the audio was awful. Tried it with captions but they kept cutting out. I’ve followed you for so long I know what was happening and why but perhaps new people wouldn’t. 😎🤠🐴❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Acoustics made your voice quite garbled, and didn't get to see what you were doing at 11:15 whilst facing away from the camera. Voice over, please? Love your work!
He was putting his thumb in the horses’ mouth to get the jaws loosening up. I only know because I’ve watched him doing this before. And I too would have liked either voice over or what was being said written on the screen, especially when he started telling a story and Charlotte finished it up.
@@carolyntaylor7 Yes, transcriptions don’t do it justice… it would have to be a written out transcript of what was being said on the screens, and that would have to be don’t by the family. Or, as Steve has done in other videos, voiceover explanations.
Couldn't properly hear the story about Molly and the person knowing about Molly having a foot / leg problem and you thought it spooky. But was it the old problem Molly had and was shared more than once on your channel ?
I can barely watch the incompetence of people who can’t control their horses feet, on the ground and under saddle. It’s pure craziness that they buy large animals without the themselves going through the proper training to handle and teach the animals. She might as well have an elephant.
@@ealexeenko. Exactly. As Steven said, it takes courage to go public with such things. Rather applaud her for allowing this whole thing to be used as a learning for people all around the world, many of whom probably have similar issues and will benefit immensely from the kind, steady, and clear guidance here.
I totally agree she is dangerously overhorsed and a 20 minute session of horsemanship basics sadly inadequate to upscale her enough to keep herself safe with this horse
@@ealexeenko Because it is hard to watch such an inexperienced horse person with that type of horse. She is seriously “over horsed”. It’s just a matter of time before she gets hurt. The horse (and the owner/rider) needs a lot further consistent training.
@@louisegogel7973 See my answer. Steven is an excellent horse trainer on the ground, with feral horses it is dangerous work. With “hot” horses issues will keep coming up, on the ground and under saddle. She is clearly inexperienced, and bought an “affordable” horse, (happens frequently when people are looking for the English hunt/jumper size and body type), when she needs an extremely well trained horse that she can learn how to handle herself, then do the work (it takes years) to become a trainer of the type of horse she has now. Have I trained difficult, hot blood horses? Yes! Is it like training a push button western pleasure quarter horse? No, it’s not. There are some horse breeds that take a lot of consistency in handling to learn to trust a sophisticated omnivore enough to let the omnivore make all the decisions about what the do with their bodies. I don’t recommend novices learn on difficult or poorly trained horses. I have seen this too many times on the A circuit, and it’s hard to watch people sell inappropriate horses to enthusiastic new horse owners who buy a horse they can’t control, then lose control, get broken bones, get paralyzed, or die. I’ve seen it all, so it’s hard to watch her, it’s the body language.
I love watching you but the audio is so bad everything is muffled together and only a few words can be heard. Hoping you can get ypur audio good sobI can hear.
0:44 her horse does not trust her. She needs to learn horse language and then communicate with her horse using that. Human is at fault in communication breakdown
I have come to the conclusion that you really don't give a diddly damn about the sound quality on your videos. It's so ridiculous. Forget the content when you cannot understand what is being said. 😢
Steve is very kind to give us content for free that everybody attending this event had to pay for. So a little more gratitude wouldn't be a bad thing.... Just a thought.
"Steve Young Horsemanship second channel for edits, outtakes and educational videos" maybe particularly bad audio is on this channel for a reason. also what 6the other reply said. free content, kindness is encouraged. you can complain about audio in a kinder way. the guy is an excellent horseman, not a video production expert. personally I like the authenticity over slick edited BS. and I also get frustrated with the audio, but have watched enough of his content to usually get the idea. I am mostly watching motion, body language, and the horses' responses anyway.
Great demonstration of the horse searching, searching for what you are requiring and, then, the realisation of when “the penny drops”.👏🏻 Beautiful horse, gorgeous colours and markings.♥️
Cap off to the young lady, who recognized the issue and took action to help this beautiful horse become a good equine citizen.

The horse goes ahead, the human follows. The hierarchy is clear.

Really big 🐴 it does the horse 🐴 good to learn, better way of doing things, well done Steve 🐴❤️💙🐴😊
Brilliant work on this one! Your knowledge and teaching skills are great! ❤
Beautiful job as always! ;😁
Every time you do this it amazes me. Nicely done

Didn't see the poll interaction. Wished I could see it because I want to understand the relationship to backing up.

She’s constantly looking towards to her Mum, ‘was that what you wanted’ ❤
Bloomin marvellous Steve. I just love your technique 👏
Such a great video to learn from over an over!
Bloody marvelous Steve!
Happy Trails‼️
That woman we couldn’t hear couldn’t have picked a worse time to interrupt your demonstration 🤷♀️. Your technique has worked for me…thanx🤗

Great learning as always and a beautiful horse, but unfortunately the sound was very poor, I tried on both on PC and tablet 😳
Amusing to see animals outsmart humans.

she looks so uncomfortable at the start just walking the horse...
