- #thinklikeahorse #ItIsNeverTheHorsesFault I have been asked so many questions about Buddy and Mr. T so hopefully this video will answer most of them.
Buddy is a Quarter Horse, 63 inches tall and a Palomino color
Mr. T is a Wild Mustang caught in the Hills of Nevada, Seal Brown

Man, I'll miss Tanner. Came back to rewatch their story. Rick, you're a good man. You saved Mr. T and he saved you right back in the end.
Same here.
Me too 😢😢
Meet too
Same. These three boys are my light every day. So sad. Maybe buddy will get a new friend besides the girlfriend 🤣
Ditto! 😢🐴
Just finished Mr. T's last day, still crying. Algorithm suggests this, and I realize I've not seen this--algorithm does something right for once. God put you and Mr. T together for a reason. No better place for Mr. T to spend his life at than with you, Rick.
Re-watching some of ricks old videos after watching the video of Mr. T passing... I’m still in disbelief that good ol Mr T has passed.. my heart hurts for Rick and Buddy.. I’m so glad Mr T ended up with Rick because Mr T deserved a life where he was understood..
Me too :(
😔 same
Aren’t we all
Same here. I miss Mr T something terrible.
HERE IS THE SHIT THAT PISSED ME OFF: here is a comment to me.
Alex Wyman
Hi Rick,
We were scammed into buying two halter broke horses that were supposed to be ridable but aren't ...by a lot
We don't have the money to keep them and they're on kjiji and nobody wants these two mares
We don't know what we can do because the slaughter house is our absolute very last option
We tried one trainer who ran away with our money and did nothing so we gave up on that because they are already a $4,000 cut in our pockets:(
What can we do??
Help?
MY ANSWER:
You were scammed, you were a fool that went out make a uneducated decision, wanted something, did not do any research, did not confirm anything you were told and so you did FELT good at the time and NOW two horses have to pay with their lives because of your ignorance. It is idiots like you that KEEP kill buying in business and results in thousands of horses being uselessly killed every month. And you the nerve to come crying to me for help.
And IDIOTS LIKE YOU always want to cry about slaughter being their last hope, fuck you, you took the horse, you mistake, take responsibility and stop blaming others, if you kill the horses you only confirm that you are the piece of shit I think you are from your stupid comment.
What happened to checking the horses out before the purchase? Did they not go look at and test ride the horses first? Ive never bought a horse without riding it first and making sure its what im looking for. Never believe what a seller says, unless you've seen it for yourself. No matter what kind of horse you end up with slaughter is never ever ok or an option!
Thank you Rick for sticking up and being a voice for all horses. I enjoy your videos. Your horses are beautiful and well behaved too.
God ok rick I get your point, they made the wrong decision and they should've riden them first and all but you could've lent a hand no? I guess they could just watch all your videos but still
Dodie Colette I have a friend who rode a horse for 1 hour before buying it. Took it home and got on a week later and got bucked off, soon after a friend got on and also got bucked (twice). Now I'm gonna adopt it and work with it till I can ride it.
So yeah there are some exeptions 😜
Josiah Igescu Not saying I know for sure, but that horse was probably drugged when your friend went to ride it(unfortunately that calming paste is readily available and some people are dumb enough to use it). Same thing happened to me when I was a kid ... went and test rode a horse he was fine seemed a little lazy, got him home and a week later tried saddling him and he freaked out like a wild horse that had never been touched. Anyway I kept him and started him on ground work .. took me quite a while to be able to ride him, I had never broke a horse before that. Lol I learned a lot from that horse. But I think its great your going to take the horse in and work with it... best of luck to you.😊
RIP Mr T . you were one in a million
Definitely so sad Big. T
OMG I havent followed for a couple years or more now I see Mr T is gone 😮😮😮 ohhh noooo. I knew hed be a good age but mannnn. I need to find the videos on it, can some one help me
Why did youtube have to reccomend me this video again the literal day after Mr. T's passing video was posted? It is still incredibly heart wrenching to watch videos of Mr. T in them right now
Me too. But I enjoyed seeing the healthy Mr. T. Good memories are a comfort

Anyone else watching this after Mr T passed 😭😭
Yes 😭
Me
Yep and it's heart breaking. I cried through it. Mind you I cried all night after Mr.T passed. I cried for Buddy, Rick & Mr.T.
Yeah. Me too. I've been going back over some of my favorites.
A tale of two horses is one of the best. And Crazy Horse Story about getting the foal off the hill brought tears to my eyes.
😭😭 yes 😭😭
"Beauty is death to a horse"
Man, that's deep Rick.
It's true some people just get them for the looks

And heart breaking.
Beauty and their strength
Just popped up in my rec. R.I.P Mr. T- you'll always roam the internet.
This dude is a riot his energy is entertaining and He really respects and loves his 🐎 🐎.
Dan you have nice hands in your profile pic.. :)
Think Like A Horse Ive been up since midnight watching tons of your videos. I subscribed and think its fascinating how they truly admire you..... impressive 👍 👍
Dan O thanks my horses are the stars I just try and put it in human terms. :)
Rick, I was at my aunts house a few years ago, and found out the neighbor moved ( RENTER) and left an old horse behind. I started bringing him water, and gave him some apples. Anyway my aunt called her daughter that has a small ranch, and they found the owner. The old guy wouldn't give him away, and sold it for $100. I was pissed, because the dumb-ass didn't have anyway to keep it! I'm just glad he has a place with other horses to live out the rest of his years!
that's funny you should say that, because on the first episode of MR. ED., his owners moved and left Mr. Ed behind. Wilbur and Mr. Ed connected, now if only your horses could talk like Mr. Ed. ;-)
Sad to think about but 5 years from yesterday Mr T passes away.
😭
Yep. I'm here too after Mr. T passed. Re-living good memories of healthy Mr. T
I can't take it. Ive loved that horse for 4 years.

Mr T :( :( :( Forever here on YT, to educate millions in the future and help millions of horses and their owners
RIP beautiful Mr T.
Miss you already. Thank you for teaching people MANY things
Man does ANYTHING bother buddy? Mr T is like nervous about anything you do, Buddy looks like he'd tolerate fireworks launching out of his saddle. Thanks for the backround story, always wondered where these dudes came from :)
mr T is blind in his eyes and has been severly abused when he was younger, buddy was not.
I have watched so many videos of Rick and Mr. T interacting, and I have to say that Mr. T and Rick have one of the most beautiful, trust-based horse-human relationships I have ever seen. Mr. T was a wild mustang, and he had a he!! of a tough life before Rick got him. Rick trained him with incredible patience and respect and love, and Mr. T returns that respect and love with abundance. Of course his instincts are about 10 million times sharper than Buddy's, and he is losing his sight. Imagine that Mr. T was chased down by a helicopter as a young wild mustang, then was never trained or shown love by humans, gelded with no vet or anesthesia, and abused and marked for slaughter, before Rick got him when Mr. T was ten. Look at how beautiful he is now -- he is loved and truly happy. It is a beautiful story for a horse like Mr. T who would have been slaughtered if not for Rick.
I'm in Love
You said that beautifully Aleister. So true, Mr. T is so well trained and happy, especially considering everything he went through. This says a lot about Rick and his horsemanship. I'm watching every one of his videos because I want to be as good as him.
@@4Mr.Crowley2-That's for danged sure!
Thank you for taking the time to do this. It is much appreciated. Buddy and Mr. T. are not just good boys, but also lucky ones to have been found by you. Kind regards.
Thank you! What fun!
+Sue Nicholoy ?
+The Candy Box - what is your ? regarding?
+Sue Nicholoy why did you say thank you? XD
+The Candy Box I was thanking Jen Backus for sharing the video.
I love how you got both horses free from being the only one who cared about them
Not only has Rick been a Teacher for us in the world of Police Work, Guns, and Animal Behavior, but even Montana and Buddy have been teachers for us as well this whole time and I've appreciated them just as much.
This popped up in my YT to watch and even though I knew I had seen this before, due to the recent events with Tanner, I decided to watch it again. So missing Tanner....the best horse and teacher ever to LIVE! RIP Tanner.
Rick I used some of your methods on my gelding who was being pushy and disrespectful and getting "spooked" by things he has seen a million times and holy crap they have made such a difference! Thank you so much for your advice! Its so cool to see such a strong bond between a guy and his horses! :)
Man oh man, this is like a beautiful video now more so than ever. Daddy showing these babies birth certificate/ pony scrap book.
Xoxo Rick. You taught Mr T. What heaven on earth was like. 🙂😍😘🥰
mustangs are THINKERS. That's why most people have difficulties with them.
Great two horses you have ")
Arabians tend to challenge people for the same reason.
@@darkapothecary4116 that's right also arabian horses the most smarter horses
And I’m just balling again knowing we won’t ever see this icon again. RIP Tanner!
Sad day for a lot of us.
Wow, Tanner's story. He couldn't have ended up in better hands. Buddy too :)
I could listen to you talk about your horses all day, it's clear how much you care for them and how much they care about you and respect you. Thanks for this video and for taking such good care of your horses :)
RIP beautiful Mr T 🐴🙏We miss you.😔Rick you are a good person 👏👏
63" would be 15.3 hands, and 62 1/2" would be a little under 15.3 hands. Good sized horses!
By the way, it ALWAYS pisses me off when a horsey know-it-all makes fun of how a horsey newbie measures height. Expressed in a normal mathematical integer, 15 and one half would look like: 15.5. Someone rights that number down, and every barn witch within flying distance jumps all over them because that number "can't exist."
It most certainly DOES exist. You can explain about "hand" measurements in a much nicer way, people.
Yeah, and I thought that was pretty big for a Mustang. I had a Mustang and he was 14 1/2 HH.
I figured there has to be some website or calculator download extension to convert Inches to hands. Or at least go to the start menu and use the regular calc accessory that can do long division and stuff.
My guess is that before we had those fancy metal retractable tape measurer things, people measured horses with their hands. You know, like feet and cubits?
Who was the guy with a 12" foot, anyway? LOL
My horse was 74 inches, or 18.2 hands, or 6 feet 2 inches at the withers. That was with no shoes (never was shod), and newly trimmed hooves. The vet had a measuring stick ruled in hands, and he measured him. He was 16.1 hands at 10 months when I bought him. I told him to quit growing when he hit 17.2, but he didn't listen. Anyone who rode him had to use a mounting block.
One computer game I used to play had horses measured as 14.5 to 14.7 and such. Clearly NOT done by horse people!
tanner and buddy would be about 15.3 hands so they are good sized tall horses :):)
I just had to watch this again, RIP Mr Tanner, we will never forget you ❤️
Rick, you have an idyllic set up there in Texas! I'm in the UK, love horses but am ill and your vids make me smile, make me feel some connection to the world, thank you for being you, you have no idea what difference you make!!!!
RIP the legend MR.T!! ❤☀️
I love seeing your love for these horses shine through all your videos. Mr. T. was so blessed to have YOU-- you have changed his life. It is obvious that BOTH horses love you.
I don't even own horses, nor have I ever been near one, but this shit is fascinating.
Best comment I’ve heard in a long time! 😊
A great story. I saw a gelding that was done the “Mexican method” when I was about 10. It was not pleasant AND the horse got an infection and had to be taken to the vet anyway.
I'm glad this came on my feed...I was wondering about their stories. RIP Mr.T.
So if you can't show a horse with crooked teeth, can a barn witch with crooked teeth show a horse?
Unfortunately, yes, lol!!!
prairie wanderer
Probably won’t get first place.
That’s a good one ☝️😂
She can try. But she'd probably be better at cribbing a fence.
@@gelisgiallen4088 lmao 😂
Tanner passes away and now Im watching this video again 😭
Your a good stand up guy. Poor Mr T. It's not fair horses have to go through such cruelty.
Thank you so much for telling their stories and for sharing them with us. There are a lot of us who love your horses and appreciate just what you can have when you let a horse be a horse. I'd love to hear you talk about your experience with horses through the years and how you came to realize that bitless was the way to go---since it's a process, not an event, lol---or if you started out that way from the beginning. Thanks as always, and if my two boys could thank you, they would. They've got a pretty sweet life thanks to what you're teaching and it's appreciated.
So nice to look back on all of the old videos, and see Tanner.
I'm sure Rick is glad he got into vlogging, as he can look back as well, on all of the good times he had with Big T.
RIP Mr T. You had a good human, one that took the time to get to know and understand stand you, who was able to give you the best life he could.
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
I love the respect for your horses, especially Mr. T. He is a powerful noble animal having a high regard for him and his role in the wild is beautiful ❤️,,🐴🐎🧸
"Beauty to a horse is death." So freaking true, unfortunately.
love how he and his horses really seem to have a mutual enjoyment for eeach other's company
Thanks for doing this for us rick, we all really appreciate it. 😊
I just started watching your videos and I love your honesty. I'm not yet a horse owner, but I would love to be someday so the frankness, honesty, and information is much appreciated. :-)
Kirsten I agree! I don't own a horse yet either, but I do rent a horse once every 2 weeks for trail riding, so these videos are great!
There's only one thing that would make this clip better...These horses need speach bubble inserts🐴💭 It's almost like they knew what you were saying most of the time 😊
Watching this channel, I would have never guessed Mr. T’s history. Thanks for providing them a great home and life.
Lol when you said horsey people both Mr T and Buddy looked at you like oh boy he is videotaping us again.
Mister T, you were one of a kind, and such a good boy! So glad he found you Rick, and you gave him a fantastic life.
I love this video. You seem happy in this video! I like seeing you this way. They are both good boys, and beautiful. They are lucky to have such a wonderful man. An you are lucky to them as well!
R.I.P MR T, Hes a good boy
And Buddy makes fun of Mr. T.'s real name!
Buddy: "Your real name is Montana?!" 😂
Mr. T. a.k.a. Tanner a.k.a. Montana: "Shut up, Buddy, you got beat up by MARES!" 😑
Mgvzom
😅
Yep! Don't even get us started on:
" B.L.M."...
You've got a couple of good looking horses there👍👍
That's a rather interesting story about the Mustang, and I'm glad he's got a nice home now!
Rick Gore I think your videos are inspirational and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and showing another side to what horsemanship could be. Buddy and Mr. T are fortunate to have a person that cares about understanding and having a relationship with them. Give my regards to Buddy and Mr. T. 🐎
Thank you for saving Mr. T and having buddy. Priceless horses.
I havent ridden a horse since I was a small child. And that was years ago.
Found your site a few weeks ago. I think your animals are adorable. I love the way you love them. Can see they know you do. Really enjoying the videos.
I don't know why I find it so hilarious every time Rick says "nuts"......🤣
I still can’t believe he is gone. I’ve been watching you at least 9 years. Watching this reminds me when I lost my 30 year old Morgan. They are family. And you grieve the same as you do to humans. Debs from Texas
I am at the moment dealing with one of these idiotic selfish people but this time I am fighting back. I had a person surrender a horse to me to only return to me 10 months later asking for it back now this has happened to me a few times which I found odd it wasn't until I had a close friend tell me that these idiots are making a fool out of me by supposedly giving me a horse to only return sometime later to ask for the horse back which they end up with a broken in well-trained riding fit and ready horse.
This time I said I can't because I have a) given the horse to someone else and b) I have spent a lot of money on this horse. I then received a request in writing from a Solicitors firm for the return of the horse I have written back telling the solicitors I will give the horse back when I have been reimbursed for all my costs incurred so far (including the cost for this sale appraisal I charge a firm $5000 for this alone) (insert snicker) I have provided a bill for all the food, vet and lodging fee's and I then doubled it for all the training I have done *snicker* this jerk is not going to get a cheaply well-trained horse from me nope its going to cost him a lot of money which he won't pay because again MY horse aint for sale! Wish me luck people.
Just watched the video of Me T's final day. He was an amazing horse. RIP Mr T. God bless you Rick.
Thanks for sharing Buddy and Mr. T's stories! Now when I rewatch an older video on the channel, there can be just that extra layer of understanding.
I envy your ability to be so close to these beautiful animals. I have loved their beauty and strength all my life. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to be close to these animals. Therefore, I need to enjoy them threw videos such as these, thank you.
Rick is such a good dad to Mr T and Buddy :)
As a Mexican I agree with what you said and I get a lot of hate from my friends because I don’t beat my horses and dogs
Buddy is 15.75 hands, 15 years old at this writing (2019). Tanner is 15.63 hands and 27 years old. They are both beautiful.
Thanks so much for sharing the information. I can safely say that most of us love your horses. Especially when buddy (Mr. Hollywood) walks in front of the camera when you are trying to show something with Mr. T. I personally love when Buddy nods his head when you are talking to him, as if in agreement to what you say. Also, thank you for sharing you horse knowledge with us. I have learned so much!
RIIIICK Im SOOO glad you keep making videos!
Hello. Just found your channel. Enjoy it. Did you notice the look Buddy gave the horse and you when you did not know his Birthday or age? I had to rewind and watch again. Horses to me are smart. He looks like he was saying to the other horse, "You mean he doesn't know and no wonder we don't get a party --carrot cake, flowers etc; "
Now I will watch the rest of it. Too funny to me. I can tell your horses are loved and handled well.
That would make them both about 16 hands. Thanks for the explanation on how you acquired them and especially Mr. T and the rough life he had. It makes me happy that he was able to live out the rest of his days with you and your compassion and love 💕
I still love watching you work with Mr T and Buddy. Yes I miss Mr T but I still re learn things so I will keep on watching. Thank you Rick
I thought Mr T was younger, but it explains his maturity and calmness. I love your training for them and how you've worked so well with them.
I re watch this.. it’s weird af it’s been 5 years. Hope your trying to heal. 🙂
THAT horse binder looks very organized :)
I'm so glad I came back to see Mr T and Buddys story. I'm a newer follower and love watching their back story. They both are so lucky they ended up with you, and from what I've seen, they are both good for you too. Love horses and watching your videos.
Mt. T is a happy horse, you can see it, and he's so well trained. With everything he went through! It says a lot about you as a person and a horseman. I hope you keep making lots of videos cause I'm watching them all. I've learned a lot already.
Thank you Rick, not only for these videos, but for your compassion for wild and abused horses.
I've been waiting for this forever! Thanks for sharing. I've seen the pictures of your early days with both Buddy and Tanner on your website, but I've always wondered how you got them. I love this happy family of man, horses, chickens, and one stealthy kitty.
There is a bunny, too! Forgot his name!
Thanks Rick....finally got most of my questions about the boys answered. Love both your channels.
I grew up with horses. They have their own personality. How sweet of you to have him.
Great video, thank you! Buddy and Mr T are gorgeous boys.
I used to have a horse named Chad his story was similar to Mr T and he was a quarter
What a lovely video. Rick, you're doing marvellous work with any horse you come into contact with; it would be perfect if ALL horse owners come and watch and learn from you!!
Thank you Rick for sharing Buddies and Tanners bio with us
You know, Rick, there IS an extreme mustang makeover coming to Fort Worth at the end of the summer. I know you haven't ever actually purchased a horse, but you know, just in case. I know we are all DYING to see you get another horse. :)
I love this guy!!! My babies Scooter and Tinker Bell have grown tremendously since I discovered Rick… We thank him every day for longer being put up at night. Thank you Rick👩🌾✌️
My son was born February 12, 1992 in Reno, NV. He and Mr. T were practically brothers lol
At a fair one year we went to look at the animals this one horse looked so docile and I'll never forget its top lip! Someone used a TWITCH on it so much its lip was totally different. You could tell.
Watching this to catch up on the story of Mr. T. I believe when you saved him, he gave you back twice as much love. This sounds silly maybe but when you love them that much.....they will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge when you are ready. Silly I know, but I hope to see mine there when I’m ready. ❤️❤️❤️
I still have my horse's medical records, registration papers, hauling certificate, tack and lots of pictures. He's been passed away for 10 years (2007). He was put down due to infirmities of old age. He was 34. I still miss him.
Poor Mr T. So glad he has the good life now. :)
Two wonderful rescue horses...
Love the sound of that. They got another chance at a good sanctuary with a good caretaker 👍👍
I love this herd and family dynamics too! Mr. T-run in Heaven pastures peacefully, with your beautiful full in tact stallion way. Buddy
You are so expressive, I see the love of Human&Horse
Revisit this video every now again. Warms my heart. Mr. T ❤ you... Buddy ❤u 2
mr t is beautiful I love his conformation, he reminds me of a old type morgan or morgan and welsh section d cross of some sort. my horse lady was a black buckskin.
I absolutely love what you share and teach Rick. I take the time just about almost daily to watch you. I like no no bull crap approach.
This is one of many of my favourite MrT videos... only now could I work up the spirit to watch it. It made me smile like every time I'd watched it before. God bless you MrT you will missed by everyone.
Thanks for sharing this story. I started watching you around 7 years ago, and I'm happy to know their stories now! The first video I saw of yours was "how to walk a horse on uneven terrain". Thanks for your videos, I owe more than half of my great experiences with horses to you. You're awesome and Mr. T and Buddy are good boys!
1:15 Mr T looks like a thoroughbred O.O Thanks for making the video! I'm so happy the boys are with you not some weird and cruel horse trainer :)
We miss you Mr. T. Rest easy old man.
Hey Rick, Thanks for this video! Always love to hear more about Buddy and Mr. T!
I am so glad that both horses found their way to you. It's so obvious they adore and respect you.
I hope you take the time to read this because I wanted to say how much I am grateful for your videos. I love that you speak with such honesty that sometimes I feel like your speaking my mind. I have loved all animals all my life and I guess you could call me a real horse crazy person. You may find this comment pointless but I am just trying to tell you how much I appreciate your channel :) ♡
Im here too after seeing his passing, thankyou to his owner, Rick that you stayed with him even tho it was heartbreaking... it seems like he saved you from the dastardly deed.. Bless you Mr Montana xxoo
