This horse was pulling and trying to get away when tied. It is also known as a pushy and disrespectful mare that will kick and bite. The horse is really stiff and stalls when tied and does not give to pressure very well. I use a rake as an extension of my arm and make the horse yield to pressure and move when I ask all while she is tied. This is part one of two.
My Husband and I needed to see these 2 videos. Our young colt 8 mos. , is so easy going but gets to close for comfort. This is really going to help . I am beginning to feel intimidated by him . He backs up and moves but now it takes more effort on my part . Also he seems to have a real interest in our Rake . Wants to play with it and not stop . So you using a Rake to move him will help both of the problems. Laura ♥️ BeR 🇺🇸
I just bought a new paint gelding today-unbroke. Thanks to all your videos, my other paint is almost the perfect trail horse. I say almost because it's too vain to say plain perfect, but he is great. I really do have you to thank. "It's never the horse's fault" is THE BEST lesson I ever learned, and I can't wait to see how wonderful my new gelding does. My horse and I have a bond built on trust. We understand each other now. I look forward to more of your videos. Many many thanks!!!
I know this is 10 years ago but it doesn't matter I learned alot. Ground manners and how to read you're horse and how to put myself the stupid human in the driveline ect is so great in this video. Thanks Rick.
i have a very pushy mare that i adopted. she was spoiled and never corrected. i have been doing what you have done in this video. she has come a very long way. thank you :)
don't call your horse names, you will treat them like you see them and they will live up to your expectations. She is being a horse and that is all she knows how to be. She was taught bad behavior by other people and until someone shows her what is right or wrong, she will continue to do what works.
i dont call her names at all. she was used for lessons and little kids didnt know how to correct her. when she does what i want believe me she is praised. ive only had her since april and i know nothing of her life except the 2 years she was at the rescue. we are both learning. my gelding will do anything i ask. she is a bit more stubborn
You called her "pushy".
i said was pushy, as in she pushes people around, i have never called her anything other than her name
After she stopped pulling back, what was your next response? Step back release pressure?
man that is a gorgeous horse! I know she's not your horse, but she's still beautiful.
I never had a horse, but I sure find your videos entertaining and most educational. I particularly enjoy your hands-on with these troubled horses onto positive results. Such a rewarding experience when finally the breakthrough is achieved. Your directive and follow through all makes perfect sense. Thee end result is proof.
Appreciate your caring and sharing for the well being of these beautiful creatures.
excellent! So easy to miss the subtle signals horse give. Thanks for breaking it down.
HER TONGUE LOL
I love the way you train horses,you are experienced and you know what you are doing.
really amazed at how quickly horses learn... I guess that's a double edged sword - you can teach bad manners as quickly as good manners!
I return to this video from time to time, great horseman stuff.
I love your videos, I've learned so much from them. Honestly if people would just shut up and listen to the points you make then there would be a lot less idiots in this world.
LivsVids that's right YA
I love your blatant, to the point " honesty"....
God bless you, 🙏👍🌻
This is probably a really stupid question, but whenever she is turning her butt toward you, how did you know she wasn't going to kick you square in the stomach? I remember this mare used to walk over me and show me her butt (we got through it once I stopped being a dummy and put on my big-mare panties), but at the time, I didn't know if she was threatening or about to kick my face it. So how do you tell?
Abigail Wollam they will lift there leg a little bitch maybe swish there tail pin there ears and probably lift there legs a few times or just straight up kick you
Im not telling you not to listen to this guy yet check out clint Anderson on the subject you want with a horse I look at everybody I never put a bad comment I ask a question and leave it at that I don't get mad if they don't answer me that's ok by me thank you have a great day take care I hope you get your answer soon it looks like the rake is an extention of his hand for safety
trisha fisha you do understand Clint Anderson is overly agressive with horses and doesnt really understand horses like rick does correct?
I just want to say I love watching your videos! you explain everything very well. keep posting your videos they really help people. I know some pretty stupid people who think they are horse people, so I tell them to watch your channel so they will learn something.
Your videos are so helpful! My mothers horse passed away 2 years ago and she was always pushy towards me so this really helps me understand! Thank you!
@NJTammy : Glad to hear it. This horse is teaching you, be a good student and learn her lessons well. :)
Wow just watching some of your videos. I really respect the way you work with horses and how you're quick to read their body language. That's something sometimes I forget. Its good to be reminded. Thanks.
This is a good one. Very educational.
Came back to this after some time
Kids need their butt busted. I can not stand people teasing animals, not just horses. Its cruel and can make a good none aggressive dog become aggressive. Parents that allow their children to do this need their butt busted to. Teach them young to have respect for humans and animals. Good luck Rick. Glad you are the one working with her, a lot of patience and understanding, compassion yet stern in a good way.
I love to watch thes videos, they help me get to know more about the animal I love the most. It is also very helpful when it comes to different things like papers, drawings, and outhere things.
I love and enjoy watching your videos
Why are kids allowed to torment this horse? I'd ban them from the premises.
While you were flapping your gums you missed an important signal at the 9 min. mark! she stomp´d her foot...not once but several times telling you too "WATCH OUT"!!! don´t know what you were doing just then but she was on the edge. She looks like an old Pacer, means she probably hasnt had the best of Life, the tounge hanging out can be nerve damage from it being tied, very common in Trotter Sports, the horse will try and get the tounge over the bit and sometimes it is forced so far back in the throat that the horse can chock so they tie the tounge off. Horses like this should be retrained on a Hackemore.
+mark warnberg
how about you make your make your own videos and flap your gums on your own damn channel and don't come here and tell me about what I am doing.
+Think Like A Horse I was talking about the horse Rick.
This is interesting...
Lanisha Burrus what is interesting?
The butt thing. I've never had a horse so disrespectful that he shows my his butt but then again I've only dealt with one house and he stopped his pushyness after I made him move in the round pin
Your videos teach me so much about horses i love it 🥰
Glad you like them!
oohg im glad i found this video, needed a way to show my parents how to be around my horses but im pretty terrible with words and, ofcourse being the "older superior generation" would never listen to me.
shes also making friendly eyes. I think animals tell what they think in there eyes, I feel like you can always tell a horse is happy based on theyre eyes or any animal. She softens her eyes.
lovely horse! i have to say I'm learning a little bit more from every video :D
She skipped leg day.😂
7:15 The tongue is killing me! My dog had a hanging tongue. Comical.
Ignore the previous comment...you Just explained it a little further in the video...I'm just amazed how these subtle body movements are a language. For me it's like learning Spanish...studying that for the last 10 years!...lol
Thank you Rick! I was anxiously awaiting your response. I understand your reponse fully and I am going to continue to make this happen for her. She deserves a good life. I can give her all the love in the world, however it is fruitless if I can not discipline, guide her, gain her respect, and trust. Meanwhile she got her first "rinse off" today and I put some swat on her burned hide and maybe due to the tenderness tom. she will be less reluctant to pull. Your direction is so apprecitaed!
The slow way is the fast way.. She's pretty tense..🐴
My daughter has horse dreams. She wants to be a large animal vet and wants to own horses one day. She is 14yo. I know nothing about horses myself even though I think they are beautiful animals. I have watched many of your videos to learn things. I had her subscribe to your channel and told her to watch every video LOL.
Have her work and volunteer at a stable cleaning stalls, there are always people wanting someone else to help or take care of their horses because they are so much work. do what you can to make her see all that work and hopefully she will not want one, never get a young girl a horse unless YOU want a horse and you want to take care of it for the next 30 years of it's life. Because as soon as the girl gets a boyfriend, the horse because a stuffed animal in the closet.
So well said! You see this all the time with other small pets. It's a whole lot easier to have to take over caring for a hermit crab, etc then a horse!
Making your kids watch ricks vids is the best thing a parent could do 😂
What a beautiful horse! Could be Mr. Ts sister!
She's learning super quickly! I like letting a horse pull on a tied rope, but, you're right, letting the horse pull out of panic means you pushed too hard too quickly. I hate owners who run to their horse when he's pulled it tight...the post means stay put! I'm not leading a horse into my kitchen when the phone rings, I want the horse to learn I'm busy! I will return soon, so just wait!!
My personal opinion, these people really should not be owning this horse. They created the problem by spoiling her instead of training her. They also created the problem by allowing cruelty as well. Think of this horse as a spoiled rich kid that got everything she wanted and then lost it all and was treated cruelly by the people she trusted. What she really needs is to be sold to sensible, plain spoken, intuitive folk who have the capacity to build up real trust. These people that feared and spoiled then allowed her to be abused just shouldn't be owning this horse.
MonsterHunterRoon People feared this horse because she did not get the proper training she needs and deserves! She is not disrespectful because she was "Abused" fro her recent owners or past owners! She does not need to be sold, with the right and PROPER training she Could be tought!
You have great horse sense and I enjoy your videos, your funny too!
This was one of the very first videos I watched of yours. The other one was some mares in pasture. Now I think I’ve seen about forty of them lol.
when the kids mess with her thats what happened to one of the lesson horses at were i take lessons. he tore somthing and had to be on stall rest for a year and the kids will mess with his face. so after that year he threatins to bite and somtimes will the person that helps us said that he was never like that
I know you don't tend to answer questions but, hey, maybe I'll catch you when you're feeling benevolent. What is a horse saying when you're scratching them and they groom you in return? I like it and think it's great when it happens - horses don't groom things they're worried by ... but in allowing it, am I letting the horse think he's higher?
+maybe just enjoy it at the time- I think he is just reciprocating what you are doing for him.
Golden no the horse is just returning the favour. In a horse to horse sense, when a horse, either higher or lower, is enjoying a groom, it will return the grooming session to say, 'hey, I like that'. Just make sure the horse doesn't keep nipping you!
Hi, I love ur videos. I need some advice. Every time I try to pick up my horses back legs to clean them out, she kicks at me. Can u help me to figure out what I can do?
@NJTammy : Your lack of knowledge is the problem but your concern does not matter. Learn more, work with the horse more more, you may have to cause some pain in order to show this horse you can dominate her. She is pushing you since she knows you don't know. Getting a pulling contest with a horse is a great way to teach the horse they are stronger and smarter than you. Only pull a horse's head to their butt that way they cant pull back with advantage.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been searching for a way to correct a horse that is invading ones personal space, when just saying "hey!" and backing of by just using hands doesnt work. I used a rake like this to make the horse move, it was showing its butt to me so I moved it again, but I would not have been able to do this without the rake and was feeling bad. But 300kg against 60kg is always a lose on the human side, as long as theres no hitting involved this should be fine in working as a pressure aid to gaining the higher rank.
Why is her tongue sticking out?
This is exactly a problem I have when riding a lesson horse. Basically, I failed to move his hindquarters before the lesson, and then as soon as I got on he knew who was in charge. I need to keep watching this to get it!
why does she keep moving/stomping her front leg(s)...is that not a threat or telling "get away from me"?
She’s a pretty girl. I think she has great potential too. I hope she will work out in the end.
@horseawareness Hello Rick, I wanted to let you know that today went much better. I can give her all the love in the world but if I do not direct, guide, discipline, gain her trust, and confidence that love will be nothing. She did try to pull back again today, however only two times and she did release to pressure. I was a little hesitant due to her hide burn from the halter to retie her today, however she was a little uncomfortable and that in turn I believe made her not as prone to fight it.
Good job on your videos!!! Keep'em coming!!
lol that tongue just sticking out of her mouth xD
Thank You!!! Excellent!!!
I dont tie them fast if they like to pull. they can get hurt easily. I had two of my horse be pullers. The one would panic and the other was older and for a long time before I got him had learned to work the halter off and dig holes to China. I did what u just did and I also worked them away from where they were tied and rested them tied. If they started to dig I would take them and work them then rest them where I tied them. They are really good now.
I need you to come to melbourne florida and help with my geldings!!!
I have been having trouble gaining respect from my gelding when I go in his pen and ask him to move. He walks away a few feet but turns his butt to me. Could this tying exercise be effective for a situation like that? I have used a rake and lounge whip when I go in but he usually runs away to get away from the pressure and avoid me. This is my first horse so I know it is me not knowing exactly how to get his respect. I have had him at a trainers and it has been established he is a lazy and pushy horse on the ground.
hey my horse is scared of water and i try not to give him baths or cool him down only when i really need to and i always have the water low and i never squirt it hard on him but he always moves away and acts scared. can you make a video on how to make a horse less scared of water?
HI Rick,
I ride a lesson horse and after the ride he likes to rub his head on me, I know that it isn't the horses fault and I need to tell him no. What would be a good way to tell him not to do that?
Her tongue hanging out is really bugging me considering I don’t know why but it’s bugging me so badly.
Hey Rick why don't you change your video phone to 'lanscape'?
Part 2 Question NJTammy: I am concerned that I am causing her pain because of my lack of knowledge. She will pull back and lean into the pull and when I try to apply pressure she will Not move forward to relieve the pressure. She pulled and pulled for over 5 min. and I was so tempted to let her loose however that is how I got this problem. She did move forward a little so I moved back. She is banging her foot, quite mad and keeps trying to pull back. Please give me your expertise. Thank you!!
Is that a Mustang
It doesn't matter who owns that horse still a gorgeous horse
I have a horse that doesn't get ridden very often as I am just too busy to make time for her. I recently sold her buddy and she has grown to be herd bound with the cattle she is pastured with. If I ever take her back to the corral, away from them, she goes nuts and rears, gets very rowdy/ jumpy, and hard to control. How do I go about getting her to not being herd bound?? She also very disrespectful when tied like this horse. She will hardly ever yield to me and if I am to give her the slightest push she will rear up and pull on her tie point until she gets free and breaks it. I'm scared she will injure herself. I would like to sell her asap as I will be going away to college next year. Do you have anything that could help me troubleshoot these problems??
thank you! You're videos have been very helpful in shedding some light on these problems :)
Is that a tennesee walker because i have one if those im just wondering
I dont even live around horses and I love your stuff.
Im not sure if this is an exception. But is that rake a cheat?
Rick, You have given me some tips in the past in regards to my baby filly that was a rescue. I really need your guidance. I had tied her with a rope halter, that is all I use, and she broke loose about two weeks ago. She pulled back and then slipped her nose through well she almost got hit by a car, because of my Stupidity. I was able to take apart my halter to make it small enough that she can not get out of it however she keeps pulling back to the point where she has a rope burn on her nose.
Her leg looked as though it was in pain.
watching aggressive horses this morning
I enjoyed this horse video.
That horse is a Mini-Mr.T!!
Why is the tongue hanging out?
I cannot take that horse serious because of it's tongue hanging out... LOL
That's mr.T's top mare right?
You taught it, the horse did not just do it for no reason, either you or someone else taught it, you let happen, you did not prevent it, you did not predict it, you did not pay attention enough to see it coming, so therefore only YOU can stop it.
\&
I love your videos any ideas for a made that is just cheeky when been ridden walking backwards , pulling reins, rearing back and teeth checked. Bought a new saddle and bridle professionaly fitten!
Her swishing her tail and stomping her feet is to stop the flies bothering her, to me she seems fairly calm and you're over analysing her body language, moving her with the rake is probably only going to make her fearful, if you're calm they in return will be calm
A hematoma
how did you know it was not going to kick you when you walked past her?
+SoWeMeetAgain
because The Force was with me.
Think Like A Horse
serious answer, please
Think Like A Horse
look good sir, I'm afraid of horses. But I don't want to be, they're kinda cool and it could be useful to know about them. I don't want to get kicked or bitten and I have no idea how they communicate, which is why I ask you here.
I have gathered that footstomping, tail wagging, head wagging, presenting the side, putting ears back are signs of aggression. And presenting the butt apparently is aggression and disrespect. Please do correct me if I am wrong.
In this video the horse was showing some aggression and disrespect and turned it's butt on you in what I would think is kicking distance. So how did you know it wasn't going to do that? Was it just not "enough" shown aggression/disrespect? At which point would you start to worry, how many things and how emphasized?
+SoWeMeetAgain First of all, I hope that you can find a love for horses. I have grown infinitely more knowledgeable about them and been greatly rewarded through the time I spend with them. Actually from what I see, this mare is not really being aggressive, if at all. To address what you said, foot stomping is actually often a sight of frustration (probably at being tied), or annoyance at flies that are bothering her. Though it can be a sign of irritation if it is being flicked rapidly back and forth, the same is true with flicking the tail (swatting the flies), but actually in this video it looks like the wind is blowing it. If you'll look at her mane, it is blowing as well. The biggest reason this mare keeps presenting her side is because he was putting the rake toward her, while teaching her to yield to pressure, so she was doing what he wanted. As far as turning their butts toward you, even though it can be a sign of aggression, when not combined with any aggressive signs, that could just as well mean that they want to be left alone.Well, I believe that he felt safe in the fact that she wouldn't kick him because she was not showing any sign of wanting to kick at that moment. Normally, a horse will give you warning before it kicks out (pinned ears or cocked leg ). He may have been in kicking distance, but the horse was not interested in kicking. You always want to be conscious of a horse's body language, and make sure you are careful around a horse that is prone to kicking or biting. However, if you just understand their body language, they will usually give you the warning you need to get out of the way.I have a personal example. My friend owns several horses, including the one that I ride. There is a mare there who is very food aggressive and temperamental, so she's prone to kicking. Even she gives warning, and will always either pin her ears or pick up a rear leg in warning, often both, before she plans to kick.Here's a link to an article about horse body language:equusmagazine.com/article/how-to-read-your-horses-body-language-8577

thanks bud, that was a really helpful post!
I so just got a laugh, Rick Gore! You said, oh if a horse cocks their back leg, they're relaxed!
Haha! Just like a dog wagging his tail right before he bites you!
I loove all your videos! Not only are they just soooo informative but also very amusing!!!
I also don't like the color pink! It's funny, cuz ppl say it's just a color, you can't judge someone based on a color! Well.....I think you can, even a little. At least you can get a basic understanding of where that person's mentality may be. And guess what? 9 out of 10 times, you are right! So, I do not blame you one bit when you spot the pink helmets and saddles, etc and the ppl thinking they are horse masters riding with said equipment. They usually are the ones that are abusive, disrespectful, or just not knowledgeable about these magnificent, majestic and often times, misunderstood creatures!
Keep up the great work!!
Looks like derpy hooves IRL, lol.
i cant stand a horse with no manners.
Is this the same horse that would rub her teeth on the fence?
Moral of the story... Don't take shit from your horses!! as in life don't take shit from other people in this instance don't take it from your horse!!!!
What wrong with her toung
THE CAT CREPT INTO THE CRYPT CRAPED AND CREPT OUT AGAIN
Cute face, she's a beautiful girl.
Is she protecting that foal?
I can't see it very well, but I don't think that's a foal, but a pony. She was probably trying to stand close to another horse.
❤️
Is this horse truly spoiled or just never trained correctly and abused regularly? Her horrible owners have taught her that she must be aggressive to protect herself! If you are a truly an advocate for horses, you need to take her away, and make sure those owners are not allowed to ever have another horse!
You cant take a horse away because if you didn’t go to court for animal surrender you would be stealing and if you did go to court they would probably think you just hate the owners. This comment is honestly stupid.
7:22 cute haha
lmao...that tongue!
the nerves are damaged
It is unfortunate you need to be so negative about others. I would enjoy your videos if not for that. Negativity drives people (and horses) away.
+Bea Wellman
YOU mean like YOUR comment... smh
+Think Like A Horse I love you Rick XD.You don't take other people's crap. It makes me sad how naive and uneducated people can be
shooting the horse always works
Plungeofficial Well it helps you to prison.
pletter64 not if you make sure to process the meat appropriately and sell it to your trustworthy local butcher
***** i dont understand you people
shooting the horse is obviously the best way to get rid of this problem.
On our racetrack we had a room designated to executing horses who failed to perform.
Plungeofficial Well it would be a waste if you could just spend time and teach the horse instead of expecting it to be perfect.
i dont i like horses anymore im out
Why are you not taking in consideration this horse has been teased and mistreated? Why did you breeze over those incident? It has A LOT to do with her behavior. Why is this all this horse' fault? Can you blame her for being defensive? I love your videos, but this was painful for me to witness your nonchalant attitude with her history.
I work with dogs, cats, ferrets and birds and can say with certainty that you can't help an animal by dwelling on their past. I feel horrible for a dog that was abused (eg) but I cannot help it with just love and pity.
When I rehabilitate I put feelings aside. Knowing their background means I can understand why they fear bite, that doesn't mean fear biting is acceptable.
Surrendering to their past (eg: letting an animal live in fear of something) is a disservice to them. Allowing an animal to push thru fear and realize they are safe is much harder than avoiding fear stimulus but better for the animal's welfare.
As far as Rick not caring about an animal being teased? I'm pretty damn sure (I'm a cop's daughter) that if he came upon it happening there'd be hell to pay. But he can't change the past, he can only help the horse now. A horse that is isolated or neglected because of fear is going to be less healthy, and less happy than one that is socialized.
Ok.. thank you for the input. I am not a touchy/feely horse owner. However, I don't go guns blazing on an animal that has this kind of history.. Thank you though for your honest experiences...
It does not matter what happened before or why - it only matters what I do and what the horse does - that is how people get in trouble trying to understand the past, I don't care if it is because abuse, ignorance or whatever - I only care what the horse does and what I do - the horse either learns that it can do it or it cannot do it -
Animals live in the now. People like you make animals worse by babying and coddling them instead of expecting the same behavior from them as any other animal.
we had a dog that seemed to be mistreaded before he came to us (we're not for sure) when stangers came over he would bark in a panicked manner. He really wanted me to move away from the strangers he did not know. but instead of putting him up somewhere, i would pick him up and have the stranger pet his shoulder softly. (not near his face and not in a soft spot like the stomach) this was training to get him out of that way of thinking.
Even though an animal may have been misstreated in the past, that's all the more reason to get them out of that mentality.
