I've been dumped and had to walk the walk of shame all the way home... I didn't blame the gelding that dumped me... I DID however, blame the PIGS that broke out of their fence and ran at us, screaming, scaring the crap out of me and the horse... That gelding ran all the way home. Mom caught him, checked him for injuries, un-tacked him, brushed him down, cooled him out, and let him into the pasture.. THEN I walked into the gate... Bruised, hot, dirty, upset... She says: "Heath is ok. Go take a shower."
Smart mom!
Great story! I was waiting for a more spectacular ending though. Like "and mom beats the hell out of me", or something.
@@ewarodewicz7577I liked the way it ended. 😊
Ugh pigs are the worst!
Any time I’ve seen problems with other animals it accidents. You can almost always see why an animal is doing it and the communication way before it happens . If you understand animals. You can often pick up real quickly why an animal does what they do if you observe them enough and understand what’s going on.
As a female British rider myself this was just infuriating and embarrassing to watch, no wonder he's terrified with someone like that on his back. People are calling her out on FB too but she just replies with immature troll like jokes, her horse did actually go lame after this too and is still recovering, as well as bruised ribs (probably from her booting him) and sore pelvis. Her attitude is just disgusting, refuses to take any responsibility and makes fun of it all while her horse is suffering. Also from 17:28 onwards he actually does have a metal bit in, she said they went home, changed it and went back there again, that's why the video cuts, bridle/reins are different plus you can see it clearly at 17:30 while she's ripping it out of his mouth, probably why he dumped her, funny that she got ditched right after putting one in and he behaved the same way the 2nd time going, bit changed nothing. Sadly I've seen so many riders here treat their horses the exact same way, screaming, yelling, swearing, name calling, yanking on the horses mouth while booting them so hard in the ribs and beating them with whips, throwing huge temper tantrums like spoiled brats when they don't get their way.
Of course not everyone is like this, but I've seen it a lot and people like this make the rest of us look bad. Horses are living beings with feelings, not machines designed to obey all the time. That british classic aggressive tone with "GET ON!" makes me cringe every time, so many here do it and it sounds ridiculous, it never helps anything... Yelling at the horse in that tone and expecting them to calm down is counter productive. I don't understand why people think it's okay to treat animals like this, regardless of how frustrated you are you shouldn't take it out on them, she caused it to escalate to a dangerous level by scaring and frustrating the horse even more with no release and it was unnecessary, she's lucky she wasn't hurt. Regardless I hope the horse ends up being okay, he's probably traumatized now, this is how good horses get ruined.
i will say there are some just downright rude horses that will try to get away with stuff and pick a fight and if you growl get on they know and will bugger off with the cheekiness. this woman is a disgrace though and if the horse was actually being naughty it would’ve stopped earlier and the ears would be more focused on her. the horse was spooking and this womans cowardliness made it all the more worse. she’s a sad excuse of a horse woman. horses need to process anxiety inducing stimuli, not just get flooded by such. push a horse forward but don’t force them into something theyre blatantly not ready for. once the horse took some steps of confidence she should’ve reassured him that that’s what she is looking for and that forward=confidence and if the horses wants to spin around and move around they can but they will just be doing more work/movement. but once the horse stops and facing the direction theyre evading, let them process things and take in the scary stimuli. patience is key with horses especially ones more spooky/nervous. the calmer and more patient, the better. when the horse turned around she should have just turned him and kept him facing the direction she wanted him to go so that he can dance and spin as long as he wants to but when he faces the scary stimuli he gets to rest, when he goes forward he gets praise and pats since thats what she wants him to do. it eases the horse and boost confidence !
Thank you for the updated information.
Cant help but to relate this to parenting. So many people like this shouldn’t have had kids either
That really sucks the horse got hurt. Glad it didn't break any leg bones. She laughs at about 10:32 , but I guess it could just be a nervous laugh. Sounds more like she's having fun making videos and stirring people up than she is actually training the horses properly and with respect for the animal.
Seeing as you know so much about this horse and her page maybe you’d like to share how kind she is to him normally. He was having an off day and so was she, shit happens. If you actually knew her you’d know his pelvis being out of place (not sore) is a long term issue, not due to him falling down the ditch. He is not recovering anymore, like you stated, and is sound and has been for a few days. But clearly you know best. This horse IS NOT traumatised, he loves his ‘mum’ and goes up to her everyday, by choice. Take your uneducated comments elsewhere.
I'm a woman who thinks that woman is totally wrong. From the start you can tell the horse was nervous. How can't she tell the horse's body language is telling her. That horse doesn't trust her at all. With good reason. She made numerous mistakes. People like that shouldn't have animals in my opinion. Just so wrong to treat any animal that way. Absolutely no praise to her from me. Lady stop blaming your horse!
A large chunk of this horses problem was the nervous rider. Confident riders create confident horses. She was shitting herself - horse had no chance 🤦♀️
LOL
Yeah, my horse and I have a rule that only one of us can freak out at any given time.
@@aina3387 that's a really good rule to have, I remember me being afraid of coyotes once and my old mare was confident, we slowly just went back the way we came like it was nothing, but I was terrified inside
I'll never understand why some people think shouting at animals calms them down
They don't they do I out of frustration because they are to ignorant to understand horses how they work and to lazy to take the proper time to train the horse and learn about them
you can condition it to where yelling at them gives them a boost of endorphins. So like, if the critter is getting tired or acting up youve conditioned it to get scared when you yell. In dog sled racing its not uncommon, the seaveys even wrote about doing it in their book. Im pretty sure there were mushers back in the day that preferred fearful dogs.
Just sayin, there are people that use fear and yelling and it actually works. In dog sled racing it really can give you an advantage. If you have netflix the show "losers" has an episode that illustrates that pretty well following an iditarod musher that loses to a musher thats harder on their dogs. one of the seaveys i mentioned above^
**And i could show you videos here on youtube of indigenous mushers in the arctic using whips and they seem to work pretty well for controlling the dogs, just sayin'. They hear that whip and they STFU lol. Its not that different than yelling.
And in general, if you yell loud enough or make a loud enough noise it will make groups of dogs quiet. Ive seen it lots of times at boarding places, shelters, sled dog yards etc etc. It rubs me the wrong way and i prefer not to do it, but it can get the dogs to stfu.
Same kinda person that just flipped out because i saw a kid (ok teen at most) jumping bareback and was big on this wee pony, so all i said was ''why the spurs?''.......lol....GREEN LIGHT!!!!! 😂 She informed me shed been using them for years!!! And her reasoning for wearing them ? It was scarey ....
@@macthompson9750 You're giving examples of using yelling to motivate and move, not to calm down.
She deserved it.
Horse out smarted her, dumped her in the ditch to cool her jets and gave himself an escape and bolted back to the barn without her nagging him.
It would have been perfect justice if he escaped from the mud, ran away, and then the UK leopard that was stalking them showed himself to her.
Frustration & anger is NEVER the way to teach or train animals!
Wait untill this b**** has kids. Poor souls.
Typical example of no groundwork skills
Just this girls tone of voice alone turns my stomach! Good grief, what a nightmare! I hope this poor horse turns out to be okay!
Imagine her in a relationship ...........
@@frankgeeraerts6243 think I'll pass on having that in my head...lol
@@karherineware3508 hahaha ok !
@@frankgeeraerts6243 I shudder to think how it would turn out. God help her partner if she were in one.
@frankgeeraerts6243 Well, some people think humans deserve better treatment and more respect than animals, just on the base of being the same species, so maybe there’s hope 😅
She never even tried to calm him down, all she did was yell and yank his head around, what a disaster.
I have no idea what she was thinking. Like, how tf is the horse supposed to cooperate and calm down if she’s aggressiv and putting him into the position of assuming that she’s another threat.
@@cerealkiller1031 I know! Maybe the biggest question is why she filmed it and then actually had the nerve to post it. 🤔❤
This horse will *never* see her the same. She 100% ruined the relationship.
The relationship was ruined ages ago, he is just such a sweet animal. How he hasn't done something like this in the past I don't know. She even calls small spooks he does at things that make him jump naughty. She's appalling and I wish Mo had a better human.
That horse gave her every opportunity to do the right thing. He dropped her off in the best place possible. I like that horse.
🤣🤣🤣
"How dare you..." She's frustrated because She's not equipped to handle this situation, lacks the knowledge to deal with. It frustrates her and scares her and that gets transferred to the horse.
People like her who lack patience and empathy towards animals really do not deserve to be around animals or own one. How she can be so cruel and harsh to a stressed out horse is beyond me.
I’ve definitely noticed myself lose patience with my horses, and when I do I take a step back, end on a good note and end early, not nag and nag and be mean
@@huntyrkitzman3895 I think it's pretty normal to lose patience when training sometimes, it's more about how you deal with it. Anyone who lets out their frustration on the animal by being physically or verbally aggressive (as in starting to yell at the animal) shouldn't be near animals tbh
If you can't be without taking out your frustrations on the horse you shouldn't be riding. It's never the horses fault, it's and animal and they dont think like you do
@@huntyrkitzman3895 I lose my patience with the horses I ride and with my dog, but do I blame them? No. It’s perfectly okay to lose patience because we’re humans, and we can get frustrated and desperate when training, riding, and what not. When I train my dog, I get frustrated a lot with him, but I *never* yell or raise my hand at him since he’s a dog and he doesn’t know. I do end on a good note always, and that’s key to setting up horses and dogs for success: patience and empathy. Something the woman in the video lacks. I have no idea why she even has a horse when she can’t even be patient with an animal that’s naturally paranoid of basically everything. She can’t even take the time to form a good bond and do proper training.
If you have to show a horse who’s boss, he already knows it’s not you.
I hope this horse gets an upgrade on riders. This horse deserves someone better. I'm sorry, she caused everything that happened here! You never respond to horses with anger and force.
You NEVER teach ANY animal ANYTHING with anger & force other than they will fear you or have enough & fight back!
I don't think they meant it was okay to be that way with other animals. Your lecture is misdirected.
There is a difference between firm but calm insistence and whatever the heck this was. I can't imagine cussing out a horse like this. And if a horse "never does this" and is doing it, I listen to the horse because there is probably something wrong.
Absolutely
Exactly! How does she know there is not some threat lurking.
already off to a bad start when the rider starts cussing out their horse and blaming the horse for their own actions. can’t stand when people refer to their horse as an ‘asshole’ or ‘bitchy’
The moment she started showing anger is the moment she should have checked herself and calmed the fuck down.
Oh yeah, when people insult their animals for natural behaviors it tells me all I need to know about that person, and I wish to stay completely away from people like this.
“We’re not going to be having that behavior😡”
What behavior? Being scared? Are horses not aloud to have fear?😢
You can hear the fear in her voice when she said "stop that we're not haven that behavior" and when she said "stop being such a baby" the horse is cleave and can not only pick up the change in our body but also the change in our voice, clearly she is over stimulating the problem that is minor if she just sits calm and relaxed and let's the horse look but not for long. I would have been heading home at 9:33 as clearly the horse is worried, so I'll go ride around my paddock and then do the same nxt day, try go alittle further and then go home ride in the paddock. It's not letting the horse win if you do that.
Honestly. If she sat and let the horse take everything in for a minute and reassured him so he didn’t bolt, he’d probably be much more relaxed. Set your horse up for failure when teaching them what not to do. Set your horse up for grand success when teaching what to do
She was clearly overestimating herself. She couldn’t handle the situation, panicked at the first hint of the horse being irritated. Because of that, she couldn’t handle his fear and got frustrated, which caused the situation to escalate. Honestly, I wouldn’t blame her for that, as long as she thinks about her mistakes and what she could improve, instead of shifting the blame on the horse. But she seems like the kind of person that doesn’t communicate with the horse and instead focuses on dominating the horse. I just think it’s really sad to watch, because she won’t grow as a rider and the horse will be neglected
That poor horse. Cross under bitless bridles are terrible for hard hands. The amount of pressure that horse was feeling across his head from the cross under tightening was certainly compounding the frustration the horse was experiencing.
Agreed! I hate those bridles! Did nothing for me and my horse except confuse the shit out of him. No release! He would just shake his head all the time trying to get the damn thing to release pressure!!
Let’s be real, mostly any bridle can hurt a horse in the wrong hands. I wouldn’t even blame it on bits, because there’s so little evidence if they actually cause pain or not. Bad riders just shouldn’t be able to ride without a trainer or someone helping them improve, or things like this happen.
@@cerealkiller1031no cross unders are particularly bad as they dont release. Not just bad hands. They are a good idea in concept but reality is they tighten around the face, and need pressure to untighten them. Just a bad design and better bitless out there that do release fully when you release. Itd be like having a shank bit that just increases the angle at each pull and doesnt release if that makes sense. But cross unders arent exactly sharing that info in their marketing.
so glad you did a review of this video. I was one of the people that emailed it to you. You should read the FB responses from this woman defending her behavior. Shameful. This horse should be taken from her as she obviously has no clue how to handle horse. She was more worried about control and views than the welfare of this poor horse. Thanks again Rick. Hopefully she will have an open mind when she watches the video, but I doubt it sadly.
She’s disgusting and she is an abuser as we see here. Her dumb little temper tantrums are a sign of extreme immaturity and insecurity.
People like you disgust me. You think sending this video to someone online who is going to rip her to sheds in a video is going to help anything? If you have an issue with her, message her privately. Or if you really have an issue, report it to someone professional higher up, not someone online who just makes videos to be cruel and unkind and get views.
whats her name /channel? NOT to send hate, im nosey yea but not hateful lololol
the antics of Mr. Mo
@@nicolaversteegen2500 she mustve taken it down ? cant see that one....
Thank you, Rick, for another great video! Before watching your videos, I was just like this person. I blamed my horse and tried to bully him into doing things I hadn't prepared him for. I thought he was the problem for not listening to me, but really, I was the one not listening to him. After watching and learning from you, it's so much easier to see all the discomfort the horse is sharing. I've learned that I need to take the time it takes to be sure he's ready for what I want him to do. When he does well, I did well. When he doesn't, then I messed up somewhere. It's so much nicer for both of us when I listen to my horse and work with him instead of fighting with him and getting angry and frustrated. We both are miserable when I don't know what I'm doing. Thank you for helping my horses have a better life.
👍🤠
I don't really understand how, the horse is an animal, how did it never gross your mind that it's a horse and they dont think and function like humans. Or are they teaching this type of horrible, bully behavior in riding schools
@teijaflink2226 Horse behavior is different from humans, yes. But they still experience fear, pain, anger, joy and other emotions. Saying that animals don’t have the capability to feel is plain objectification. We have plenty of research that shows how horses express certain feelings, so you as a rider should understand them. What they mean with bullying is pressuring the horse into doing something they are scared of. And if your riding school is teaching such practices, you should really go find another, because that has nothing to do with being a good rider, trainer or even person.
I used to love watching horse videos, but now I can't stomach it. Just about 90% of the vids are horse abuse by ignorant horse owners and trainers.
Mistake number 1: This girl is using Dr. Cook's biteless bride - it has straps crossing under the jaw to cause pressure and squeezes the side of the face, which is why the horse keeps throwing his head up. Bad design that afflicts pain and mix messages between horse and rider.
Mistake number 2) Right from the start, this girl is agitated, pissy, and taking her frustration out on the horse for her bad riding and lack of understanding of the horse. Her ego and temper got the best of her. She is the one that escalated this mishap.
Mistake number 3) As the horse is trying to lunge forward out of the ditch to keep from flipping over, instead of giving his head to help him, she kept pulling back.
Poor horse. This girl was entirely in the wrong. Vids like this make me lose hope for the horse community.
This rider seems to have gotten on a horse and forgot that she had a video camera rolling from her own POV...this is animal abuse and neglect. Threatening bodily harm, verbal abuse and severe anger issues. A danger to human and horse society.
Thanks for the video, Rick, people need to see this is NOT normal, this behavior is NOT to be tolerated and we should be the change that we want to see in standards for horsemanship.
I can’t believe she posted it. I guess she thought it made her look like a great horse rider.
This is so aggravating to watch. She may own the horse because she paid money but she doesn't own the horses soul or spirit. The way she screams at it sounds like she just wants it to be a slave.
If I were that horse I would have thrown her off and ran far far away 😂 🐎🐎🐎
Sadly with the traffic these days, a horse that trotts off home often gets hit by a vehicle. I wouldn't wish that on any horse, and neither should you.
She literally sounds like a “barn witch”. Geez… terrifying 😂 I would be scared of her 😅
Take a good ol' baseball bat with you and the fear disappears in a sec😎
That's how you may do a huge favour to at least one horse too.
And the bat is for the rider, not the horse!
"The slow way is the fast way with horses." One of your quotes, Rick, and a great one to live by.
My favorite is when people call a herd animal herd bound. I've never seen anyone win a tug of war with a horse.
Definitely not a fun time. If your horse isn’t confident enough to go out alone, then be their herd member yourself. They don’t wanna be alone, so let them trust you
I had a beautiful Arab years ago who was blind in one eye, we were together for a wonderful 18 years, but if he was unsure of something, I'd turn him towards it and let him settle himself down and work out there was nothing to be scared of. Because we were together for so long and I rode him everyday, we had confidence in each other, knowing we'd do what it took to keep each other safe. Due to his blind eye, there were times when I would just turn his head so he could investigate what he was unsure of with his good eye. It's not rocket science folks! Listen to your horse.
Just started watching your channel Rick and all I can say is I love your commentary. Brilliant... and so true! Really gives me a great laugh!
She lost control the moment she got so emotional. I would not want to walk between those ditches, either. Ambush territory.
The horse was afraid of cows off in the distance.
If I had a horse that was acting that unsettled ( and I know nothing about them) I would be wanting to turn it around immediately, because I’d be scared, too. Even with no horsey knowledge, I understand that everything she did was wrong….a common sense thing.
I would be scared too.
I would probably get off and give the horse some time to calm down without my input pressuring him. Maybe go investigate the grass and bushes and show the horse nothing is in them.
Common sense hasn't existed in this world in quite some time I'm afraid.
@@waspbitch6014 Common sense just isn't "common" anymore. It's more like "rare sense".
@@blackdandelion5549 Sad isn't it?
Thanks Rick! 👍 I work with my wife's service dog periodically, and am guilty of repeating commands and praise often. Okay...all the time. I'll quit that immediately.
Ive done an animal training, cognition and welfare degree and am still guilty of forgetting that with animals not my own. They cant help being cuties so dont beat yourself up about it. And just remind yourself its only making a word worthless to them. Worse case you can make the word mean something again through re training it
Country I live in is normal to have to ride on the road and be careful with vehicles. It sucks but no other choice in that place, really. I used to have a horse that was really nervous but I worked with him so much off saddle that he trusted me. I only know he did because when something scared him, like a big truck passing by, I'd have him stand still until it went by. At one time this truck hauling construction machine did worry me a bit, was louder and bigger than what he'd experienced before, I could literally feel him tremble under me and yet without pulling him any more than just stop him from moving and a whistle (I have a habit to teach every horse I've had that a whistle means "stop"), he stood still and I did no yapping at him. I did give him a moment to stand once the truck passed by and let him look back to it and realize the big scary thing was leaving. But man I was so proud of that horse and the amount of trust his nervous self had with me. I'd never make him go if he was trying to go sideways, several times I had to get off the saddle and lead him. I just can't imagine doing what this lady did, with a horse obviously scared and trying to brute force him to continue. That's the best way to make the horse go from a bit nervous to panic mode.
Bit of a long one, sorry.
That's what I do too!! Ground work is so much more important than jumping on and riding!
Loved your comment ❤👌👏
Rick. You are right in saying, it isn't the horse's fault. Do you have any videos that may describe how you would handle a situation like this in order to get better results? How would you help the horse feel secure and condition them to handle the tall grass and open environments. For me, the first sign of the horse showing nervousness, I would work with him at that point rather than make him continue to walk further into his perceived danger. Thanks.
I don’t know about Rick but if my horse won’t trust me to do something (i.e. cross a new and scary stream) if it’s possible, I’ll try to walk him on foot so that he a, sees that I’m fine and he’ll be fine and b, builds more trust in me that I wouldn’t lead him into anything I wouldn’t go into myself. If hand walking isn’t an option, I’d normally try to either find another way around, or if possible ask a more experienced horse and rider to lead the way. If necessary, then scary experiences can always be used as learning experiences. That’s just me though, everyone has their own methods
There are some great old videos of Rick riding Mr T near a helicopter. It was amazing the trust between the two with not just the noise, but Mr T had been rounded up by the BLM using helicopters.
I wanted to say I think you have the right idea and it's hard to give feedback on a particular scenario w/o a full story such as had he ever been ridden out this far? Was this his 1st, 2nd, 3rd ride outside of being ridden in the round pen or arena? How far away from home was she? Has he been exposed to cattle before? etc. and so on.
You are correct that when the brain goes into the amygdala AKA flight or fight mode our job is to get the frontal lobe activated again and we can't expect them to do much until we have turned that part of the brain back on which is why we do so many exercises on the ground and in saddle over and over and over before we leave the barn. We know what the horse is good at so we engage the less than confident horse in a set up where they can get the right answers while we have faith in the horse and our riding that they will. It's OK for them to be curious about cattle and look, but that doesn't mean run away. An example would be when the horse stops moving and has their head up, I might ask them to lower their head and they may only drop it and pick it back up, but they would still get the release. I would do it over and over again and the drops would get longer and longer and more relaxed. Then I need more brain power so I would ask for the nose to come out to the left. Very quick releases to show this horse can get right answers out here where things are scary and I'm introducing things that are well established and eventually I want to have the horse be able to bend their neck around to me if possible with very little pressure. I have still not asked for a step forward. Maybe I ask for the right side now. Once I have several movements and you can pick whatever you train your horse to do then I will switch them up to ensure the horse is paying attention to me and not picking up on the repetition. I am just bending them and flexing them at the point I got them to on the trail. Normally once I have connection with the horse's mind again I can easily continue the ride by asking for foreword, but as a trainer I weigh out the pros and cons of if I am pushing this horse too far too fast, how long did it take me to get them refocused here vs in the past when in the Arena or Round pen, etc. It's my job to ensure they are not mentally pushed too hard just like they are not physically pushed too hard. I might make note of trees or particular farm buildings I could see and ask the horse to move forward so I could ask for a very nice calm turn to go home instead of the spin and potentially taking off towards home in flight, not likely remembering that this was a good event riding away from the barn. Sometimes you take the win you get and that may be a solid ride where the horse struggled, but was brought back to calm and learned that fear was not going to be punished on a ride and their human would guide them calmly through anything and they were listened to and not asked to go further. Build stronger bonds. I would have a goal to go even one stride further next time. Key is ask for something you can get some "yes" answers to and then ask for something harder if you feel the horse should be capable of doing it. A horse that can won't appreciate the extra work with their refusals and will quit refusals real quick. A horse that can't or maybe shouldn't will still be giving off clear signals of their discomfort with things.
I never suggest getting off unless it's actually dangerous. If you are not able to have the most basic communication on horseback the horse should not be outside of a round pen or fenced arena. In my many years when people have suggested to get off and walk the horse through I have NEVER found it to be helpful as I just rode with confidence the horse would not have issues and magically the horses did not have issues. People have gasped and said "that horse is afraid of water", "that horse won't walk from dirt road onto tar" and I got on and simply asked them to move forward and had zero problems and turned around like "What is the problem?". It was far and away the rider's fear of the reactivity of the horse to certain things above all else than the horses who have ever had the issues.
He wasn't afraid of the tall grass. He was afraid of cows off in the distance.
@@judywright4241 Oh, wow! So, Mr. T had some history with helicopters and Rick helped him using desensitizing techniques. Not sure if I've seen it, but, could be worth checking it out again if I had. Thank you.
Thank you, Rick 🥰
She could have saved herself from a dunk in the ditch and the walk all of the way back if she had just listened to the horse, who was screaming as loud as it could, that it was scared and wasn't ready to face cows on both sides of the road 🙄
Hugs for your boys, and have a lovely evening, Rick 🥰🥰
Holy hell. Jazz hands on the reins, no wonder the horse was bewildered!
I will never forget a moment I was on a trail ride in my own world and we were aproaching a fallen tree brance. I was like " eh the horse will stop or move around it". That horse did not care and kept going 😂. Lets just say I had a big treebranch on my lap and could not stop laughing!. Man I wish I filmed it!. She was a good horse for not spooking with this branch on her shoulder! Thought I would share 😂
I cannot tell you how fast my old mare would have dumped my ass, that horse was a saint for being scared as hell and still letting her do that to him.
And she uploaded the video?
How could one be so disconnected from reality to think they did good here and share it?
because she is a narcissist
I was laughing at the beginning but. . . Not now. I 'm surprised she put that video out, that was terrible. She made me anxious w/ her nervous voice & mean comments to the poor horse. She doesn't need to be riding a horse. Oh, she's not anymore! Anyway, nice day for a walk! Poor horse. He's probably still running.
fantastic video so rare to see people who actually understand not just riding but horses overall my fav channel in all of interent
I was so worried that a huge, noisy combine harvester or tractor would come tearing along this road. No doubt the horse would then have reared up with any resistance from the rider and bolted away.
Thank you so much Rick, for reminding us that only the lightest touch via a rope halter is all that's necessary to effectively communicate with a horse. Someone else in the comment section mentioned your video where you rode Mr T up to helicopters. I remember it well but I'm going to watch it right now again. In that video you've given us a Masterclass on how to stay calm and use the softest of contact on a rope halter, despite Mr T riding up to several helicopters and staying there when they took off from the ground, hovered or flew away. Yes people, only a rope halter!! Truly AMAZIN Rick!! Love all the videos where you do groundwork and where you ride ❤🐴❤Love you Mr T and Buddy and Ransom ❤
You should get in on that 2raw2ride drama. Lots of crazy to go over on that.
That guy on 2raw2ride is an idiot. Both horses are lame and getting worse. Old Pete colic twice was never taken to the vet, and both those horses have lost a lot of muscle and body fat.
I actually would love to know what he thinks about 2raw2ride
Absolutely appalling behaviour from the rider. Honestly curious what she cut out of the video considering how harsh she was getting with the poor horse. I don't understand how much of an ego these people have. Sometimes you just have to give up and get off the horse before it gets worse for both you and the horse. I have an an arab who is on the anxious side and what I do when he is feeling nervous is simply get off and lead him through or past something that is worrying him, I put myself between him and the scary thing as he sees me as a leader to find comfort in. And that's as soon as I feel tension from him, not waiting until it gets worse.
Horses feel when we are getting worked up, their hearing is so sensitive. Why I always encourage people to get off if they start to feel frustrated.. Your horse will thank you. I recently had to tell a 12 yo that maybe it's a good idea to call it a day as she was getting overwhelmed and I noticed the horse was picking up on that. People are taught to "end it on a positive note" but they think it means when the horse does something right.. Not necessarily, it can mean not reaching to the point of a blow up. Sometimes that "positive note" is quitting so you and/or the horse won't end up hurt.
I'm riding and I can't shut up. Oh, now I've fallen and I can't get up. Horse runs away-thank goodness! I would have run away too. I feel bad for this horse! Some people are so stupid. Thanks, Rick. Keep on keepin' on!
"Never had that behavior before"... I wonder why. lol.
When the camera showed her face, she looked exactly as I expected her to 😂
Thank you for showing this and clearly describing all the ways she screwed up with the handling of this horse.
That looks like a really nice place to ride actually.
True, the english landscapes are perfect for rides. The other riders and people living here and there, not so much tho...
That woman doesn't deserve the privilege of being around horses.
Oh yes, I remember we was rideing somewere in Dülmen in the State of Westfalia in Germany (much cows... big countryside) on a nearly empty little street. My ride companion see cows and begins to breath heavily "oh god, oh god, ooohhhh god, my horse will get spooked, my horse thise my horse that." Till this point we all was relaxed. Her horse get spooked because of her seat, pressed legs, flat breath etc.
The cows starts running and haveing fun, jumping moing... my horse wich goes between the "monsters" and the other horse was affraid too, high neck and such... the other horse was bucking back and forth up and down. Mine ask for help... said that all is ok and we are fine. Than he was like "ok that scares me but we are fine." A car came by the other horse starts running ... I made shure that we were safe and start walking with Justus than he calmes down and breath deep... let him eat some grass and we go home in peace. The other horse was in real terror nothing has happend but this let to an trauma.
Hope my Englisch is understandeble.
I had that behavior once with a horse that i didn't know.
When he backed up in the direction of a canal, i decided wisely to give up and lead him back into the stable.
Something was wrong, and i wasn't able to figure out what it was.
I hope this horse gets a better owner
Love the phrase Trigger Stacking. It's very useful and applies to us all.
When has screaming at a scarred and anxious animal EVER worked for this girl? She has to know shes acheiving the opposite result and stressing the horse!
So glad to see these types of videos coming back
If you watch ot see the pictures she posted of him living with the cows she said he was pretending to be afraid of in this video. Yet when you see her in the pictures you don’t see a relaxed horse or a completely comfortable horse. Even there you can see the horses small signs of worry or not completely relaxed . She was saying he wasn’t scared cuz if he was scared it would have been more obvious, but fear is often subtle before an animal gets to the point of shutting down, a animal often shows uncomfortable in little ways way before an animal explodes
I saw this video the other day and commented cause the 'horse' broke the rope halter so apparently she took him home and put a bitted halter on. That's why she is trying again. So this time, with the bit, she ends up in the ditch. In her videos description she actually says that she returned home put the bit in and tried again.. she is a fool
Horse needs to put his human up for auction. Lol!
Seriously though, quiz time! Just want to test my knowledge on what Rick has been teaching for years, and make sure I've been learning:
1. More groundwork, and casual bonding time with horsey. And desensitization.
2. No bits!
3. Make sure rest of tack is comfy before leaving for a ride.
4. Be calm. Less talking, and more relaxing.
5. Consider what is scaring horsey, and listen. Maybe horsey has good reason to be scared and you should both leave.
6. Proceed if safe, but take time with horsey. Maybe consider dismounting. Work through issues with horsey as a team. Be a confident and considerate leader.
7. Desensitize horsey to new novelties in area.
8. Be fair. Ask your horse to do something for you, but be quick to reward with release of pressure. And only ask a little bit at a time if need be.
9. End ride on positive easy note so horsey doesn't think it was so bad.
Do I get a carrot?
There’s a difference between not letting a horse do what they want vs listening to the horse vs this. This isn’t neither
I hope she caught hell from this and, if she’s a trainer, NO ONE should use her. That poor horse.
I have always been horseless and have zero expertise but as Bob Dylan said, ya don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows. Even I could see her grandstanding and bravado for the camera was going to lead to her going ass over tea-kettle. Hope she hasn't got kids.
That's what you call horse abuse
“I wish I put that bit in” ugh.
What is so sad about this video, is that she has a huge following on Facebook of adoring fans. Despite clearly repeatedly letting this poor horse down.
I'm HORRIFIED!!! Did they get the poor horss out of the ditch??!!!🙀
Yes, out of the ditch , but believe he has injury to his leg,
Horse got himself out the ditch and ran home
If you treat a human like that, you get the police called on you--it'd be rightly called abuse in the case of a family member and assault if it's a stranger.
Due to the lack of care and on going bullying I believe people like this should NOT have any animal EVER
That is my nightmare. But instead of riding a horse I am driving a car right off a cliff right into a large body of water like a lake or ocean.😮
I am a woman, and I don’t think that this idiot was good or strong! I’m curious to know why you said, “most women would praise her for doing a good job?? That’s a little insulting, sir.
I agree with everything else that you said about what she was doing wrong. This poor beautiful boy. He didn’t have a clue what he was supposed to do. What an embarrassment to equestrians. What she should have done was gotten off, calmed down herself, simply stood with him, spoken quietly to him, soothed him and waited for him to get himself settled. This broke my heart!
This isn't our good girl, lady but she's not much better.
I was going to say that it's not the same person
No it's not that lady, but in a recent video her young horse was going through pretty much the same!
@@catherinemiller3168 I haven't watched her videos in a very long time. But I always figure someday I'm going to hear that her or her horse was hurt badly. Wouldn't surprise me a bit.
@@catherinemiller3168Exactly. Still excruciating to watch her videos, still problems with getting on, and the poor horse is VERY confused when ridden. So sad for the horse.
People who say "get" or "get on" I just can't anymore!!! It just gets under my skin!😢
I always say horses are like balloons. You add pressure say from bit, you add pressure from anger and frustration, you add pressure from lack of understanding or knowledge, you add pressure from no trust, you add pressure from no preparation etc. That horse will eventually explode.
As frustrated as I would get sometimes horse riding I would never treat the horse this way I'd rather get off and lead him and calm down trying to diffuse the situation some other way instead of treat him as horribly as she did. I heard he was hurt by this and is recovering. It's absolutely appalling and so uncalled for.
I don’t know anything about horses, but I do know this woman should not own a horse or any animal for that matter. She’s actually abusive from my perspective, her tone the way she is speaking to her horse is disgusting.
I was expecting her to be wearing pink. I'm disappointed. Horse was smart enough to run off.
I hope this woman doesn't have children.
The worst part of it all is that she videotaped this and thought she was posting valuable content. Her juvenile and merciless behavior is appalling. I'm so glad she's being called out by you and others, but that domineering attitude will probably prevent her from introspection. So sad that this woman is miserable and taking it out on this innocent horse.
She's abusing this horse..she keeps pulling on both sides..the horse doesn't know which way to go...poor horse
Maybe she should sell the horse and get a quad instead. Since she`s obviously not interested in understanding the animal and just want to go some place :D
My mom thinks calling me a fat ass will work to diffuse the situation.
This isn't the first time she's treated him like this and it won't be the last, I know her in person. She unfortunately will also never change nor sees any issue in her behaviour or treatment of Mo. Mo is a lovely animal. He had multiple body issues that she will never get sorted, he's underweight and over worked. She's also a dog walker and pet sitter!!
Sounds like a classic narcissist. Incapable of believing anything they do is wrong. She is a horrible owner, who knows literally zero about horses.
I saw the lady post this on a facebook group, its quite interesting it ended up here, maybe she will watch this and learn something hopefully!
Really informative video as always! I find it frustrating when people talk to horses like theyre children, people need to respect the fact that they have a brain too and if you just listen and pay attention to what theyre trying to say, youll realise you really should have been listening to them in the first place!
Background from the original post:
This horse lives on a cow farm but is terrified of cows apparently. He broke the bitless bridle so she went back and put the bitted bridle on.
RICK, that's not Tara (owner of the horse that flipped over, owner of the horse that ran away and told the viewers that the horse spooked). I must admit that Tara and this new person have similar characteristics. 🤣🤣🤣
Its all ego with this lady!! And the pain she's caused her horse!! Poor horsey!
OMG, you had me ROTFLMBO. Ok, now I can watch the video😂😂😂😂
Now the horse is traumatised and will soon be classed as un rideable, poor horse xxx
This women thinks this women doesn’t deserve this beautiful animal
This is pure animal abuse
She deserved a lot worse than that tbh.
I would've shown my horse that there were ditches on either side of the road. She's so lucky he didn't break his legs or get caught under him.
Hands down for the way this lady treats and trains her horses!
The hag voice that she whipped out..…GIIIT OHHNNN 👹 🤣🤣
I've never heard anyone sound so angry and hateful and mean towards their animal. She shouldn't own or be around horses, period. I hope she doesn't act that way toward children too, but wouldn't be surprised if she did. Nasty nasty human being.
This horse must be a very gentle horse to not have kicked her.
That's quit a soothing voice she has lol
Told Vet today "Let me hold my dog while you do what you need to" she replied "No, we got it" my 7 lb dog wiggled so harshly two grown women could not hold her, so the Vet gave up. I told the Vet "You just taught my dog that if she squirms enough the Vet will let her go."
This is how I talk to my vacuum when it sucks up the fringe on my rug, I could never speak to a horse like this.
I hope no one praises this woman. Her behavior is absolutely abusive. Disgusting.
The comments on the og video is 50/50 positive/negative
This woman shouldn't have a horse... my sympathy to the horse and her kids (if she had kids....)
