The first horse I trained was my wife's Mustang. When we got him, he was severely underweight, had no prior training, and was so unhandled that we could barely touch or pet him. Within 30 days, I got him riding the trails. Along the way, I identified some gaps that needed attention, so I eased back on the training intensity to focus on resolving those issues. Now, he can ride with other horses, handle trail rides at a walk, trot, and canter, and accepts blankets without any fuss. He's even great for the farrier now. I’ve been doing all the training in just a halter because he responds so well to it. Recently, I started riding him in a bit and plan to gradually transition to more consistent bit work. We’ve had him for seven months, and everything is going great. He just needs more miles under his belt to continue improving! Moving forward, I’m committed to continuing my work with horses and advancing my knowledge and skills as a trainer. I really enjoy watching your educational content about horses and appreciate your training style-it’s been a great inspiration for me.
Watching from Tahoe, California. I am training my own horse. I completely agree with you, I am slower than a trainer. But my trainer got bucked off my mare and hurt. Therefore I didn’t have anybody to ride her besides me. So yes, I am slower, but overall she doing great with me. Mustang, mare, 4 years, I can go on solo rides. I think that is pretty good for a young horse. I also just found someone who is handling and riding her too. It is going really well. I personally find it really important to get a second rider on a horse. I also have a trainer who will give me the necessary push if I go too easy with my girl. 😂 Tim trust me, if we would life closer then I would send my mare to you for tuning her and criticizing me.
New Jersey. We had a horse at our barn training at dressage who would misbehave and have issues off site and was sold to another rider. The trainer recommended a switch of discipline to hunter jumping and the horse changed. He was a real athlete who loved the athletic challenges and settled down. Great advice about keeping the horse learning new and challenging tasks.
I‘m watching your Videos for about 3 years and i am a Trainer in germany, i use all your skills and Folllow your advice with Great Results, pls. Keep on your a Great horseman and very beneficel to a lot of riders out there and definetly for me. THANK YOU TIM 🙏👍🙋♀️ P.S.: i‘m an english Rider and Trainer and i can use all the Western skills in combination with the dressage and jumping skill no Problem 👍
Totally agree!! My thoroughbred was bored in the arena so we had a play day instead of training for 1day, we did things at Liberty and he just followed me around with no lead. Like a brand new horse, he's eager to go back to work now, I'm thrilled!
Watching from Southern California. It is 60 degrees. Excellent advice. I made the mistake of over drilling and going too slow, much to my dismay with the first horse I trained. A quick natured bored horse will find things to entertain themselves which are not fun for the rider. Did not make that mistake with my second horse. I also found out allowing laziness in an effort to keep them from hot and reactive was also a mistake.
I remember Denali, and your Grand daughter putting his first ride on him. I also saw his early groundwork video where he tried to come at you.Yes you've got to shut that behaviour down before it escalates. I'm glad you showed how to deal with that sort of thing, same with Rodeo. Several people I know should be watching this!
16.00 Getting dark now here in N Ireland! Weather has been awful for the last week so I enjoy seeing your better light and sunshine in Mississippi as well as it being a real treat to watch and listen to Tim on the lovely horses! Does a returning horse remember Tim and the barn etc or do they have to start getting familiar with everything again.
I don't know if they all do but I know some do. I believe this because one time I saw a horse that I previously had in training pull away from the owner to come snuggle their head in my chest. It was a very special moment for me.
Ich schau dir aus der Schweiz zu 😂🎉❤ herzlichen Dank du hast mir und meinen Pferden sehr geholfen. Ich wünsche dir und deiner Familie frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 💝💐
I feel like you have to know your limits and when to consult a professional. Although, I had a professional trainer tell me JUST today that my healthy OTTB needs to be confined to a stall alone for a minimum of 90 days before training even starts to “get her mind right.” So maybe also know when to hang up the phone! 😂
That’s SO uninformed-my OTTB needed to turned any down in a herd before I started retraining. Then he was mentally and emotionally recovered from the rigors of the racetrack and was curios and interested in interacting with me. Had I stalled him he would have acted crazy and unrideable.
@@fleetskipper1810 Oh for sure! This horse has already had time to relax and is bored now and ready for a job. I think I’d be scared to go near her after 90 days of solitary on top of that. Plus, she cribs like a champ so good luck remodeling your whole barn in 90 days? She will eat her way out and find you.
Hi Tim! Great session! I am currently training a 5 yo cutting mare to do ranch versatility. Getting her to accept more contact with the bit and up/down transitions. It is more of a challenge than I expected but she is slowly getting it. My biggest issue is consistency, I think. Every time I get on her it's like, "oh, we need to work on that...and that... Good thing is she has a solid stop and spin. She just always wants to stop! No downward transitions. Lol.
A local trainer , who has since passed away, once told me the 2 biggest mistakes owners make with their young horses is 1 they do not work them enough and 2 they feed them too much grain
You said 6 months I have a 3 yr old raised from a baby! who I'm still doing ground work on and prob won't ride till she is at least 10 yrs old! 3 reasons 1 i don't have $ for a saddle to train her and 2 I don't have any trainers in my area to send her too. 3 I don't have a horse to train myself on b4 I ride her for the first time need to learn how to ride myself b4 I get on my own so if she goes to do funky stuff I'll know how to control it. I'm in TX if you could do a free saddle training ill happy send her to you for it! ❤
Bought my first horse about 4 months ago, I'm in Nicaragua. I'm watching cowboy youtube everyday and can't believe how well the stuff works. Pressure and release. Give your horse a fair deal. Reward the smallest try. Three times is enough. Make yourself a good place to be for your horse, a good leader. Be patient. Relax. Thank you for the great content. General question. A lot of the tack is different here, I have an unusual looking saddle and an unusual looking bosal that are basically standard equipment here. How do I understand 'principles' relating to tack and saddles and signaling your horse, rather than techniques based on specific equipment? I know it isn't easily answered, just what's on my mind.
Alberta Canada … my mistake was also slow … now my horse just wanna go slow lol 😝 no go - so much woah! Could be worse I guess . She’s 18 now. Had her since born . I’ve learned a few things since then …

Do you ever do clinics in the north Bronx or know any places that do in my area or near.
Yes I ride in the Bronx. Looking for a clinc place in horsemanship etc. if you know of any places in my area please advise. Thanks.
Yepp, been watching since Denali came
My problem trying to figure out the difference ? Muscle or joint soreness
City riding the East Bronx
Tucson Arizona. Do not have a horse right now, just a wanna be.😢
The error of too slow training is just the same as teaching children. Nothing advances without a challenge.
Everyone??? EVERYONE who trains their own horse makes???
Take a critical thinking course. Learn to not use universals.
It's a header designed to attract attention. He explains more in the video. You can calm down now, he's probably not talking to you.
