OMG!!! Let me save you pony!!! JK but seriously use real brushes and on the areas they are meant for. That means body brush on THE BODY and main and tail brush ON THE MAIN AND TAIL!!! NOT THE BODY
How is this incorrect it's not go watch another video and if this one is it let's watch every video just say it's in cracked but you didn't I'm a beginner and it's video is correct and it's not incorrect it's correct and don't say beginners to not follow this because this is incorrect if not and learning to spell it doesn't make any sense beginners do not follow this is incorrect that does make any sense even when it because it still doesn't make any sense because this is incorrect and you should say why go watch another video all of those horse videos have there and they are incorrect not this one she has to watch every single video of this but you don't and you say this is incorrect just because that's one no it's not other people don't say that

Okay, this is ridiculous. Why are you using a mane and tail comb on its body? It's been designed for its mane , not its body, it will not have an optimum effect on it. If you use a curry comb you will achieve a MUCH better result, as curries help pull up dead hair and dust from its coat. Horses love being curried as it's like a massages for them. You then use a dandy brush which you use to flick off all the hair and dust the curry bright up. Finally, using a body brush finishes it of and wicks away any forgotten hair, dirt or grime that the dandy missed. A face brush is designed for the face and any other sensitive areas of your horse as it's very soft. A goat hair brush adds shine to the coat if you are entering a show. Also, why are you picking his feet out like that? You should be pointing the hoof pick AWAY from you and scraping dirt of and over the hoof. I don't know if you do it correctly as I only saw, like, two seconds of it but it did look that way.
InsanityRam And who made these rules? Grooming routines vary from person to person and horse to horse, one person may use a curry comb but not a dandy brush simply because the horse doesn't like the feeling of the hard bristles or is sensitive to the touch of the dandy brush. One person may use a mane and tail comb because the horse likes that feeling and it works for THEM. Not all horses love the feeling of the curry comb and prefers to be vacuumed. Like I said it varies from horse to horse as they all have different skin, sensitivity etc, this works for BECKY and HER horse. There is no written rule for grooming a horse as long as you font endanger the animal in which case she didn't.
Yeah! Most horses will not tolerate this so for most people it's not going to be very helpful. I'm partial to the rubber mitt curries as they are gentle enough for face and legs and remove a surprising amount of hair. This horse is fluffy enough to benefit from a shedding blade. Proper use of a shedding blade is less irritating than this.
Jesus what is wrong with you people?? Becky is not a professional farmer or zoo keeper. She is just trying to give pointers to people like me that know nothing about this subject. Instead of negative criticism how about giving positive advice to help her and in turn help people like me.If you don't want to help then go away.
My Equine Life104 ok. Honestly, it doesn't matter what brushes you use as long as the horse is being cleaned, and is comfortable. Also, brushing techniques are different for western and English. Oh, and one more thing, if you don't like her videos stop watching and move on. Why don't you make a video yourself if you're such a wise man!
Miss Abbi AWESOMESAUCE!! Brushes are NOT different for English and western at all! They are the same!!! The reason you don't use a mane and tail brush on a horse is because it dose not get the dirt off. Most of the time the horses hair is too short. So maybe educate yourself be for you spread false information.
Ellanator 360 um well I've been to English and western barns before, and they are different if you're talking about "proper" brushes. It doesn't matter what brushes she's using and they aren't you're usual mane and tail brushes. These are actual brushes for humans, but the horses are being cleaned so what does it matter? They aren't showing any signs of aggression or pain so what's the big deal?
You have beautiful examples of intuition & gentleness. Thank you very much for sharing your techniques & veiwpoints! Btw, I've learned from others that if you keep chickens near the places where the horses are kept, the chickens can help keep the flies down.
Ok,first of all u don't use a hair brush on the body of the horse.and second of all its winter the"dead" hair is his winter coat u don't curry comb a horse in the winter.horse brushes might be expensive but u NEED to use HORSE brushes not bruises made for cleaning
Exactly! That looks like a halter with no break away feature. She has also tied the horse to something you should never tie to. If he pulled back, he could easily break that board. It doesn't take a genius to find a solid place to install a proper tie ring.
Oh I have learned the follies of going around the front end of a horse. The head came up and I learned how to fly. I learned afterwards the best way is to go around the back end as close to the rump as possible. They can still kick you, but they don't have the distance they need to get enough force in order to cause serious damage that way.
She loves her animals and they look very healthy and well cared for. That's really the bottom line. Also, this pony is comfortable with her grooming him, so she's doing fine, even if she's not using the "official" brush on the "official" spot.
+JAZZY LUNA WINDSOR SHOW I wouldn't go to the extent of calling it abuse.In Becky's horse has a lot of hair and the horse didn't seem to mind so its fine.
+JAZZY LUNA WINDSOR SHOW I was going to say "Speak English", but decided to check you out first. How old are you.... ten? Your grooming experience is your cat and dog. Keep your advice away from adults channels. Go back to your barbie dolls.
+Faith Rada I've often wondered if someone linked Becky's channel on a PETA site or something. Cause there's an absurd number of people commenting like that here compared to other channels...
exactly thats why body brushes are for their bodies and hair brushes are for the manes/tails/forelocks. You can even see the damage its doing to that horses hair, its all going in different directions. Next Becky's going to tell us that using a hoof pick to clean their eyes is a good idea? haha
I walk around my horse in all direction I go in front of them, underneath their neck and behind them so they get comfortable with all of it. Even though horses are unpredictable its better to get them used to every way, rather then them spooking when someone does it.
it isnt those type off horse have a thick coat it looked to me like he was sweaty it had rained or hes been rolling and becky hasnt got around to brushing him his coat is fine
IKR?! The horses coat is in horrible condition! And one of the things of looking after a horse is having enough money to afford everything. That includes proper booming tools. The horse looks quite hungry. And it doesn't matter if it's new, it should be train, or you train it to be calm.
I don't think that walking behind your horse in your method is that safe. Horses are unpredictable animals. If you had a little child with you the horse might not be able to see it, the horse could spook and hurt the child. I go around the front. I have crossties so my horse doesn't have enough room to bend his head all the way down. No hate just think that is very dangerous.
Bridget Carta ok I love horses to death. But everytime I get on I put my life on the line. The horse could easily buck, trample me, kick me, bite me, roll on me, etc. I wouldn't trust a 1200 pound animal with my life. They are also prey animals, they will do whatever it takes to escape from danger.
I rarely go behind a horse, but when I do I first make sure that I am close to it and that I have my hand placed on it as I go around so it knows that I'm there.
Becky, my name is Swanee Speed Ramsey. I have enjoyed your videos I put a note out to all my friends to go to TH-cam and watch a few. They are so informative and family friendly. We dream of a set up like this (in a smaller scale) someday. Keep up the good work. If you ever need someone to clean stalls I'm just up here in SC. My last kids(triplets). Left for collage two years ago so my days are wide open. My husband flies for Delta so I have a good bit of free time. My question is Do you ever have an open house? That would be a dream as would brushing horses, feeing chickens or scooping poop. Keep up the good work and holler of you ever need a free set of hands. You are the best teacher!
What is wrong with his coat. You can’t just cut corners to save money, you have to buy brushes specially designed for a specific purpose. Also DON’T GO AROUND A HORSE THAT CLOSE, MAKE SURE YOU ATE OUT IF ITS KICKING RANGE. This horse also looks very agitated and annoyed. I hope you don’t just read the positive comments, because the negative ones are just trying to help you to have a happier, healthier horse.
!PSA! Please, any beginners, do NOT listen to this advice! N e v e r use a mane brush on your horse’s coat! We have curry combs for that! EDIT: it somehow got worse. Please do not clean hooves like that. Always pick from the hoof.
I have a few questions. If your horse, mule, or donkey has an injury on its body, do you still use those same brushes? I am just asking because I know if the horses I work with have an injury I still like to clean the area to get a better look. Also why do give your horse a treat everytime you walk around your horse? Can't that encourage bad behavior? (Example: Nipping, biting, or maybe push you with his or hers head.)
Becky's Homestead Love the video Becky, I was wandering if you could make a video of the feed you give to the animals. You say every thing is organic and healthy. I'm really loving your videos even though I'm 17 I can't wait for my own homestead and I'm really exited for the dairy goats I'm getting in spring.
Okay I really think you guys need to cut Becky some slack. I get some of her information is incorrect but she's trying to be educational to a younger and inexperienced audience. "Why does she teach beginners wrong things?" If you watched the video she's doing what the horse likes and what I'd cheapst. A lot of what she does is DIY and everything equu she does it practically homemade except vet care and obvious things you will have to buy.
With the thing you said about not needing any fancy grooming tools, just a friendly tip; the horse brushes you get at tack stores and farm supply stores are more affective and can bring more dead hair and skin to the surface than the two you used most likely can. Really the rubber curry comb or jelly scrubber and the dandy brush'll do you the best brushing-wise, and they generally last you many years. My backup is I own a light colored pinto mare whom has a real good coat and skin. This is just a friendly tip! Nothing harsh or criticizing against you. Your videos are great! ;)
And in this episode of Becky’s home stead: what NOT to do!!! News flash horses don’t like flys and they with swat them away with their tale, it doesn’t mean they are mad. Why the hell har you brushing with a main brush? After watching this video you would think that you could brush your horse with a toilet brush! In all honesty this video just made me laugh! Beginners please don’t listen to her
What I do when I go around the back of my horse, (because sometimes I don't have treats) I just pet his back and up top his bum, and then i go on the other side, and he is completely fine with it!!, but thanks for the other way to go around the back
You need a currycomb and you literly went over the spine- the spine!- with a hard brush! You need to use a soft brush on sensitive places like that! Begginners, don't follow this.
I think giving treats improves grooming however you do the job, and if you haven't decided to keep the horse whatever brushes you use will be ok - getting the technique and approach right is more important good job Becky, getting the job done is better than neglect...
Firstly no hate but they are the incorrect brushes to use, not to mention you should place your hands on his hind ad you walk around as your posing a danger. That main and tail brush is not only inadequate but your using only 2 brushes for the whole body. Beginners plz don’t follow these instructions. I was literally triggered when she used that main and tail brush for the legs, that is uncomfortable for the horse and doesn’t remove dirt. I have owned horses my whole life and have years of experience, this is all incorrect 😬
That was wonderful!!! I don't know anything about horses and I don't own them. But that is very good information and it makes a lot of sense and he looked beautiful!!!
Hi Becky watch your videos when I can, my dad bought me some chickens from a friend he had but they are not regular chickens from the store. So I was wondering if all chickens lay eggs.
I like how you can't brush his belly if the pony don't know you?? Like wtf. You talk like if you do this the horse will kick you an kill or something, like chill
Wrong information first off beginners please don’t listen to this I have nothing against this lady but she’s telling things that people need to be cautious of walking behind a horse especially one you don’t know can be highly dangerous
Wow, I never though a horse could look more attractive than the woman grooming it. I wish she spent as much time on her self as on the pony, that way she wouldn't be such an eye sore.
OK so you need horse grooming brushs not another you can not use a mane and tail brush on the body you have to buy a curry comb a hard brush a soft brush a hoofpick and a mane and tail brush not a cat brush and a face brush and by the way you don't pick towards you with the hoof pick you pick towards the bum of the horse
this is, um.. a unique approach to say the least, still love your videos, just a little odd.. never seen a mane and tail brush used on the horses body.. strange.
My horse hates being groomed she throws her head and nips and stomps her feet because she’s bored and hates it but she’s nicer now she is okay with baths she’s only had a few because of weather
I feed my horses leisure feed and sweet feed should I keep them on that diet I was feeding them oats soaked oats. and then my one horse started geting sick when she ate them.
Thanks for this vid Becky! I was not familiar with the Haflinger breed, so I went and did some research. Beautiful, good tempered animals with a lovely gait. It looks like they are suited both for work and pleasure. Thunder is a handsome pony!
Lol is this a joke!?!?!😂🤣😂🤣
Beginners this is terrible advice don’t listen to it
Sea Equine wtf this is so funny that is a mane brush and a curry is a 7 dollar purchase 😅😂
Exactly 😂😂
Was thinking the same thing lol!🤣
Shush, you brainwashed
Exactly
OMG!!! Let me save you pony!!! JK but seriously use real brushes and on the areas they are meant for. That means body brush on THE BODY and main and tail brush ON THE MAIN AND TAIL!!! NOT THE BODY
Horse Lover yesss
Since when s $6 dollars expensive for and ACTUAL HORSE BRUSH
beginners do not follow this because this is incorrect

no it's not you idiot go and learn how to watch a video

Not hating but I think it's important to buy real brushes instead of using a mane and tail brush as a curry comb and a dust cleaner as a hard brush
Equine 77 true
The brushes at my store are cheap range from 2-5 dollars hoof picks are 3-4 dollars
Yeah you should buy brushes made for horses not find dust sweepers and hairbrushes.
Amelia Morgan ikr
I love watching your videos ... your voice is calming 😊
It's ok to give horse a bit of sugar as a treat, my horses favorite treats are sugar cubes
You should use proper brushes especially if you want to make a how to groom your horse PROPERLY

Agree with you 100%. If you are going to do a video on grooming and handling a horse, at least have some idea! It's hair, not fur!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to see you ride bare back!
What I do to walk around my horse's back end is pat starting at the shoulder and ending at the opposite shoulder all the way around the horse.
i love that horses mane
How adorable! I truly enjoy watching your videos, so thanks for sharing.
Gwendolyn Burton no this is not proper sweetie this is really bad because there are more than two brushes there are 10 brushes to use soo no
What kind of a knot did you do? It's always best to do a quick release knot.
Exactly! That looks like a halter with no break away feature. She has also tied the horse to something you should never tie to. If he pulled back, he could easily break that board. It doesn't take a genius to find a solid place to install a proper tie ring.
Oh I have learned the follies of going around the front end of a horse. The head came up and I learned how to fly. I learned afterwards the best way is to go around the back end as close to the rump as possible. They can still kick you, but they don't have the distance they need to get enough force in order to cause serious damage that way.

Do you ever use soap/shampoo on your pony?
I love your videos I think you should do a how to halter a horse I have a horse but still I love you
Hi Becky, could you make a video of caring for goats and how to chose a breed of goat. Thanks! Great Video!
Daniel Nigerian dwarf goat's are the best! I have 2!
I do hope you don't dehorn the poor things.
Good info, Great video! Blessings

With going around the horse you should just put your hand on its back so it knows where you are
Do you think it would be okay to use the same technics on a cow?:)
nope
Didn't you just wash off sll the fly spray?
Guys if it works for her its fine! The horse isn't hurt is it?
No, but it's just wrong! It's like brushing your skin with a hairbrush!
I walk around my horse in all direction I go in front of them, underneath their neck and behind them so they get comfortable with all of it. Even though horses are unpredictable its better to get them used to every way, rather then them spooking when someone does it.
Hi Becky! Great video! By the way, you look like you have lost some weight! Looking great! God bless!!
that horses coat is BAD
Horse awsomw ikr
No it's not you are so stop her horses are fine you have a horse I bet they wouldn't be until I get them so stop complaining
it isnt those type off horse have a thick coat it looked to me like he was sweaty it had rained or hes been rolling and becky hasnt got around to brushing him his coat is fine
IKR?! The horses coat is in horrible condition! And one of the things of looking after a horse is having enough money to afford everything. That includes proper booming tools. The horse looks quite hungry.
And it doesn't matter if it's new, it should be train, or you train it to be calm.
And ' take a few minutes' WTF?! I take like 10 full minutes to groom a horse before riding!! And you just said you talk ags to groom!!
im thinking of getting a horse. I'm like 5 feet what horse do you recommend I should get.
Hi Becky, thanks for the info. :-)
I love your haflinger I have one he's amazing .
NEVER wash them on concrete - they can slip and fall

please can u do a video on you tacking up and riding you horses/mules
Good idea
Not really a good idea, because she does it wrong. Watch an official one and learn it the right way.
Saartje de Hond Yes her tack doesn't fit
Not just that. It doesn't fit, she's doing it wrong, etc
Saartje de Hond Yup, she shouldn't make videos to teach others when she doesn't know what she's doing herself
great video Becky 😊 I don't own a horse but this was still fun to watch 😂👍 horses are so cute 💕

What is wrong with his coat. You can’t just cut corners to save money, you have to buy brushes specially designed for a specific purpose. Also DON’T GO AROUND A HORSE THAT CLOSE, MAKE SURE YOU ATE OUT IF ITS KICKING RANGE. This horse also looks very agitated and annoyed.

And in this episode of Becky’s home stead: what NOT to do!!!
News flash horses don’t like flys and they with swat them away with their tale, it doesn’t mean they are mad. Why the hell har you brushing with a main brush? After watching this video you would think that you could brush your horse with a toilet brush! In all honesty this video just made me laugh! Beginners please don’t listen to her

And horses are not different for brushes and my horses even my yearlings I can go under brush anywhere also omg plz stop
Firstly no hate but they are the incorrect brushes to use, not to mention you should place your hands on his hind ad you walk around as your posing a danger. That main and tail brush is not only inadequate but your using only 2 brushes for the whole body. Beginners plz don’t follow these instructions. I was literally triggered when she used that main and tail brush for the legs, that is uncomfortable for the horse and doesn’t remove dirt. I have owned horses my whole life and have years of experience, this is all incorrect 😬
That was wonderful!!! I don't know anything about horses and I don't own them. But that is very good information and it makes a lot of sense and he looked beautiful!!!
Hi Becky watch your videos when I can, my dad bought me some chickens from a friend he had but they are not regular chickens from the store. So I was wondering if all chickens lay eggs.
And I noticed you used a mane brush FOR HIS LEGS which are really senstive and you should only use soft brushes.
you should not brush the horses tail out unless you washed, condished and show-sheened it. One strand takes 7 years to grow back!
Becky I love your homestead! It makes me want to be like you I hope you do this for years to come! Xx
Okay u do need to buy proper grooming tools u talk so loud near the horse also oh my gosh it’s not true anything ur saying never listen to Thai lady
I like how you can't brush his belly if the pony don't know you?? Like wtf. You talk like if you do this the horse will kick you an kill or something, like chill
Wrong information first off beginners please don’t listen to this I have nothing against this lady but she’s telling things that people need to be cautious of walking behind a horse especially one you don’t know can be highly dangerous
Wow, I never though a horse could look more attractive than the woman grooming it. I wish she spent as much time on her self as on the pony, that way she wouldn't be such an eye sore.
Normally you would do the hoves first because if they have something that's uncomfortable then you can get it out and they are comfortable
OK so you need horse grooming brushs not another you can not use a mane and tail brush on the body you have to buy a curry comb a hard brush a soft brush a hoofpick and a mane and tail brush not a cat brush and a face brush and by the way you don't pick towards you with the hoof pick you pick towards the bum of the horse
Hi Becky, What are the options for healthy fly spray? Thank you. I love all your videos!
this is, um.. a unique approach to say the least, still love your videos, just a little odd.. never seen a mane and tail brush used on the horses body.. strange.
3:01. “ the safest way is to go around the horse” haha no. Never go around a horse’s butt ok! They can kick you.
Does anyone know who i can contact her like an email that she has maybe state up just for youtube or anything i would love to ask her some questions
walking around their end you should talk to them and keep close to their end and keep your hand on them. She kept quiet and didnt touch him.
I love you videos! I just got a miniature horse do you have any tips? Thank you!
My horse hates being groomed she throws her head and nips and stomps her feet because she’s bored and hates it but she’s nicer now she is okay with baths she’s only had a few because of weather
+becky's homestead i love your videos! you should make a how to tack up a horse properly.
I went from my tv to my phone to day this don’t listen to this
I feed my horses leisure feed and sweet feed should I keep them on that diet I was feeding them oats soaked oats. and then my one horse started geting sick when she ate them.
And so you're just going to ride a hungry pony with a soaking wet coat? Wow.
Can you do a video on all of my pets or all of your horses and pony's? Can you also do a video on what you need for your first horse/pony?
So you're saying you can't afford a $5 brush? Gee zus.
Oh my freaking gosh 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
8:50start with the legs and splash’s him with water beginners don’t listen to this x
yep as a kid I got plenty of head bumps passing under horses necks
I started riding a horse 🐴 every Saturday and I love 💕 it now
Dear Becky,
I adore your videos. Can you please do a video on cleaning the chicken coop?
Sincerely, your subscriber
I go under my horse inbtwn their feet and I am 10 you be incorrect
Great advice! Good job Becky!
who noticed the filter changed at 8:55
Thanks for this vid Becky! I was not familiar with the Haflinger breed, so I went and did some research. Beautiful, good tempered animals with a lovely gait. It looks like they are suited both for work and pleasure. Thunder is a handsome pony!
Great video. Thank you
Yea thunder has food AND coat problems.
my horse hates a hard brush on his back but loves it on his stomach!
When you were doing the forelock a horse bucked lol
I love your videos and I think you should do how to jump a horse
You should have mentioned that it is also best to keep a hand lightly on the horses behind as you walk around them so they do not spook
No you put it on the Roses back as you walk around learn how to take care of them
9:20 Thunder was adorable
OMG !!! I can’t believe the comments. The brushes she is using is fine. I use my old hairbrush on my horses.
My vet was just here to pull coggins and said the words "your horses look Fantastic" !! ☀️❤️☀️
Those brushes are as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
You look like you lost a lot of weight. You look great Becky!
