Loved your (and the horse's) energy!

Do you have any advice for horses that live on grass and dont pay attention because they graze?

Wonderful 👏🏻

This is awesome. Just to add to this, what about when the horses left behind start acting up, making the one you’re riding away on start to act up also? Haha thanks

Wonderful job

Great new ideas to work with my new colt.

I really would love to do this program….how?

She's absolutely stunning!

My new colt won't let me touch his lips, so we have work to do.

Why can't other trainers figure out how to have great audio quality like this?!

I’d like to see you close the divider. That’s when my horse starts backing out hard.

This is Tsali. I'm going back through the exercises and making sure we don't have holes.

It’s also an early sign of colic

Fantastic!!! Horse whisper!!! Bravo 👏

Hahahahah Awesome Sir Taylor!!! 👌

Just another example of making the wrong thing difficult and the right thing easy. I think it was either Ray Hunt or one of the Dorrance brothers that coined that phrase.

Idk how old horses get but she must be a boomer now by horse standards

Have her carry the saddle.. and then lead the horse behind her.. let the horse follow the saddle.. let the horse so the "chasing".. it might work faster..

Notice - The distractions (other horses, etc.) were not removed. West made himself more important (Attractive) and over shadowed the extraneous environments. Point being there is always going to be OTHER THINGS. He got the horse to be Attracted (relaxed & connected) to him. The phases are Attention, Attraction, Acceptance, Agreement, Attachment, Attunement. In other words, first things first.

Attention>Attraction>Acceptance>Agreement>Attachment>Attunement. (The POSSIBLE phases of a relationship with horses.)

I’m contemplating adopting. I’m starting two domestic fillies right now but don’t know if I’m skilled enough for a mustang. They were basically untouched when I bought them with the exception of the owner putting in halters. I have them both yielding, leading, picking up feet, and they’ve done fine with their first trims. We’ll soon begin with saddling, etc and they’ve done fine but to hear others tell it it’s not for just everyone. Smh, idk but I’d love to give it a whirl. I think I’d like my first try to be a yearling tho. Thoughts? Thx

That was fun. Thanks.

I love this sooo much.

Damn its snowing up here in Salt Lake City

Hey there, I really like your videos! I was wondering what you might know about the Angel trail that crosses the Dirty Devil from Hanksville to the Roost? I read in a book that Cap Brown took stolen horses across it but I don't know if that was just a legend or not?

west taylor yoru a fucking SHIT trainer, if you dont want the horse to be so jumpy then give the horse self confidence , help her to be confident in herself . you dont have her attention, you ahve her frrustration . their eyes dont tell you what their looking at what their attention is on, its the ears

Super footage. Lovely to see this. First rode Robbers Roost with A C Ekker in Sept '95. Returned again for a recce in 97 and rode from Mexico-Canada in 99. We met a treasure hunter in WY near Lander. Rumours are there might be some gold coins stashed. A few years ago in early 2000's historians located booty associated with the Black Jack Christian Gang. But the trail and branches are huge mileage... never say never.

This is fantastic! Do you by chance have any prior videos of his bucking and bolting spells and how you handled those things?

Brilliant analogy. Please produce an online course to help us that can’t get to you. I love your videos it would be a blessing to get continued help. I’m in rural Western Australia and we just don’t have this type of instruction and help. Thank you

Do you Do it to both sides or just the left 🤔

I've seen this principle done a few times, never quite this way. Easy!

great idea

Best trainer ever.! I learned more in the first 15 minutes of this video than all of the hours watching others. Thanks for posting. Mustangs??

Your approach is perfect. Something most people don't do or mention. I, myself, haven't ever really done this method... as far as getting their mind settled first and foremost. Great video!! Thank you.

So good and usable! Can we also talk about the science of the knotted nose band on the horses left nostril? Just an observation and not met to take away from the lesson but as horse people we are ALWAYS learning and seeking knowledge!

Wow ! How many times can you repeat everything you’ve said ! How many ? I got annoyed after three !!!

He probably thought a big fly was bouncing on his hip! He looks great! He has an appy tail and look to him. Can't decide what to call that colour LOL. Kind of Snowflake appaloosa, kind of over-roaned red roan. Bit of white eye too= fpr the appy. Awesome colour. I just got an 8 year old mare a bit like him with much more white overcoat. Can't decide what she is either! I'm guessing she is a white on white snowflake appy. Her pink nose is adorable. His snip is adorable too 😍

What an awesome channel! Subbing from Brazil.

what a class!

Brilliant just brilliant! Such mastery 19/8/23

West where is Goldie today, Aug, 2023, beautiful and beautiful work, thanks

Nice calm explanation and patience. Helped to understand the horses mind. Thank you. Wish all trainers used your techniques.

Good job ninja! That dismount was impressive

This was an excellent video. I can get my horse to do this now when he isn't too stimulated but the moment he thinks the other horses are going ahead of him he pushes through the pressure - even when really getting loud with the lead rope. Any suggestions? He will also go to the side to try to get around / past you rather than leading nicely from behind.

Well done! I've seen quite a few but this one really went so much better than the others.

I tried this today, and it worked so well! My buddy sour gelding is 16hh, and out-muscling him to go where I want him to is absolutely not an option. Thanks for the great video :)

which documentary is it?

You know how you can tell this is fake, right? All the while the dude is explaining how this horse has problems being caught, that horse is focused on the dude like a laser, giving him both eyes. I the horse world, we call that a clue - the horse is a ringer, a regular piece of cake, so the run-up about the horse being a problem he's gonna solve is BS.

What is a BFF?

Did we go from sitting in the saddle to jumping the Barrel in the same session?😮 I don't know that I would have pressed my luck that far
