I want to tell you that you not only rescue horses. I have a neurologic disease robbing me of my ability to move my body and my speech but your videos and life lessons are the highlight of my day, and each new video you post, it brings me such happiness that it is hard to put into words! I have loved your spirit and knowledge! If only it could be spread around the world more! Especially in the medical community. You are on my bucket list to meet but I understand reality. Thanks and prayers for a wonderful and healthy new year and the continued success with your videos and clinics.
Never say never. You might meet him
Painful neuropathy too. It's life robbing ...thanks for what you do said. I used to ride.
Prayers for you!!! And for the horse.❤❤
❤
God bless you ‘beingolde’ I hope that one day you will be able to be more active in this world; in the meantime, your comment is so beautiful - I also get joy from Steve and Tanya’s videos, and totally agree the content transcends horse-lover education. My prayers for you, that you will be mobile and able enough to enjoy really meeting Steve when the time is right ❤️❤️❤️
I think Griffin is the only horse that can get away with “unrequested forward motion “ with Steve. What a love bug 🤣❤️❤️
I thought the same! 😂❤
Steve is always phenomenal, but I have to say that there is something truly cool about this horse. As Steve said, riding is probably not in his future since he's been bred and trained from the start to violently buck people off. But it is so obvious that he really LIKES people, and LIKES having this new kind of relationship with them. How sad that for so long, this fella knew nothing but fear and rough handling from humans. There was a sweetheart of a horse in buried in there, and now he finally gets to show that side of himself. Bless Steve and Tania for the work they do and the ladies responsible for Mr. Big's new life . What a beautiful thing to see at Christmastime!
This horse doesn't LIKE people . SMH ...
Im just glad that horse can have a good quality life even without being ridden. He's blessed to be at the refuge.
Yes, I saw that too!! I know a lot of calm horses, but so many don't generally come over to interact with people unless being called. Yet, here is a horse that has been conditioned to fear people, and yet, after only 3 days, he is eager to come over on his own and socialize with these people!
Yes, he LIKES them. What a sweet guy.
@@brooksequine7621-- horses are herd animals...they BOND with members of their herd -- and that can mean humans as well. So, yes, he seems to Like them.
Wow! It never occurred to me before how much psychological damage is done to rodeo horses to make them buck and fight someone on their backs. If I thought about it at all, it was simply that maybe they were wild and aggressive by nature. Never imagined that they were trained to be wild and were actually afraid of people.
Thank you once more, Steve for a brilliant video.
The last bit when Stephanie and Mr Big were standing together was so funny, sweet, and heartwarming. Another success story, with more to come. Good job everyone.
Mr Big had such a sweet demeanor once he got over some of his fear. I imagine they breed these horses for bucking but not so much for actually attacking or biting, that would be a problem both in and out of the arena. Once he bucks off a rider, you would want him to just move off right away and you'd want the handlers to be able to corral him without fear of him trying to kill them. Bucking is more a fear response, he's not acting directly aggressive or even dominant in any of these clips. IMO what they are actually breeding for is a fear and avoidance response, not 'aggression' as they called. And they'd want him to not let go of his fear easily, you would not want him getting used to peeps on his back and getting desensitized and stopping the bucking. He can't be the type of horse that desensitizes easily. But he can't be too spooky either because you have to be able to haul him around to venues, load him in trucks, have him handle different stalls, deal with a loud crowd and diff handlers and constant hustle and bustle, etc.
Where was the success ? Tell me .
@@brooksequine7621 1:23:24 but it depends on what you measure success by. But - I personally saw it.
@@clairedeluna3585- no worries...you were answering a hater and troll -- i have now seen their other comments. I suspect jealousy.
I can see why Stefanie would rescue Mr Big. He's gorgeous. The universe gave her a sign for sure. Thank you for working with Mr Big, Steve. If anyone can fix him, you can.❤
Thank you, Stephanie Powers for saving this beautiful boy! I anticipated this video from the first time you posted about Mr Big, and it did not disappoint! Absolutely heartwarming, complete with tears! You and Tanya are an excellent team! Thank you so much for sharing this story! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, too!
Thought you said ‘tat shop’ not ‘tack shop’ merry christmas to you and yours 🥰
HOPE EVERY ONE UNDERSTANDS THAT MR BIG WAS HIT WITH ELECTRIC SHOCKER IN THE HAND OF A COWBOY ON HIS NECK, AS GATE WAS OPENED!! HOW AMAZING STEVE IS TO GET SO MUCH CONNECTION WITH OUT RUNNING MR BIG. STEVE IS SO SUTTLE WITH HIS MIND AND BODY WHICH REALLY HELPS RELAXE THE HORSE. YES STEVE IS BRILLIANT!!
I think this is one of favorites that you have helped.
Yes thank you Stephanie I'm a fan from log ago. You did a good deed thanks
@@martylesnick2032…….please don’t tell me American Animal Welfare are OK with this practice ?
I consider this a Christmas gift. As an animal lover nothing pulls on the heartstrings more than witnessing an animal get a second chance. Steve and Tanya you never disappoint. May all the blessings come your way for the amazing work you do and for sharing of these amazing videos.
From Ontario Canada 🇨🇦😀
I have a young pong pony and a young mules, bless them like humans they have grown up during Covid, they must have felt the fear from humans. My poor mule who came to me when she was two weeks old with her mother whom was a mini Shetland Who experienced her mother dying from a widows branch.
For me and my WOOFER it was so sad but for Spirit an my young pony it must have been traumatic.
They are both lovely but especially the little mule she has issues.
If you an find time to even advise my woofers and I how to help this trauma that would be great.
We live on Gabriola island BC Canada,
I am originally from the UK many moons ago
It was so good to see the release of fear in Mr. Big. That happy curious face at the end was amazing. Now he can began to live as he sheds layers of fear. Well done!
This is on of the most beautiful things i have ever seen. What a gentle way to gain trust. Thank you for saving this beautiful boys life.
You may not feel you advanced enough in your 3 days with him, but it is SO clear those 3 days were a massive leap forward in Mr Big's world. Targets are great, but seeing him relax and start reaching out to people...beautiful. Thank you for such kind, compassionate work; you are an inspiration.
Steve u and u're wife always come through for the horse and us watching. Its always a treasure to watch and learn, laugh, and cry. This horse needs to see some kindness from people.
Stephanie was always my favorite actress, and I am not surprised at all what an awesome person she is.
That’s so awesome they rescued him and we are learning about the fate of some bucking horses. So many horses in the world are just used up for human “entertainment” and 99.9% of the public who watch these animals at rodeos, races, performances, circuses have no idea of the lives they live, the fear some of them endure, and what happens to them when they are no longer useful. I have two horses, one that I bought young and he spooked, bolted and threw me and about four different trainers and extensive medical exam was normal so I decided he just didn’t want to be ridden and now he is as happy and relaxed as can be. We do some long lining, liberty and he gets to just be himself. I’m tall and athletic but can’t play basketball so why should all horses want to be ridden? My other horse trots up when I have my bridle and even knickers and is so relaxed and happy under saddle. He truly seems to love our adventures. The difference has been such an incredible journey because I think about what they want now and ask permission. It’s a partnership not submission and domination. Pure joy with both of them.
Rodeo horses are tortured and terrified to run and buck riders....Then they are dumped in slaughter auctions......should be illegal...
I agree with you ... rodeo is terrible for those poor bucking horses, bulls and roping etc stock. We just waste animals for fun and $$ in the good ole' US of A. I have seen it first hand. Makes me embarrassed to be an American!😢
It’s the same with racehorses 😢
This is a gorgeous horse. How can they slaughter such a beautiful creature?💔😡
Thank you for saving this horse.You are gaining his trust again.
🙏Stop the Slaughter!!😡 YES, this should be illegal!!!
God sees everything we do..
@@hoptoit5910I don’t agree that this is the same with racehorses. They get the best care possible. Compare that to some pet horses living in squalor with a ragwort and dock infested paddock who could benefit from seeing the farrier more often. Sadly racehorses occasionally break a leg and have to be euthanised, but that horse had a quality life until then. Now some travellers have a cavalier attitude to their horses, that’s why the RSPCA attends the Appleby horse fair.
Oh my. What a beautifully gentle hearted power house of a horse. You bring out the best in these horses with love, patience, building trust. So touching, such teachable videos. These animals with the right leadership, done the right way produces beauty in action. May Mr Big have all the love he deserves for the rest of his life. Thank you for saving him Stephanie.
Thank you Stephanie for giving this beautiful horse a second chance ❤
Dear Steve, I'm 62 years old and I think I have ADD. I can't focus on anything long enough to get anything out of it. I can't read a book, and I can't watch a movie without getting up and washing dishes or something, but I can watch your videos from beginning to end, no matter how long they are, and not miss a second. You're truly fascinating and I absolutely LOVE watching your videos. They are like the cherry on top of my love for animals, especially horses. As a teenager I fell off a running horse and hit my head on the road. I spent about a week in the hospital ICU with a concussion and seizure. I was on pills for a year to prevent another seizure. I was going into 10th grade with a comprehension level now at 4th grade. I still love horses, including the smell of a saddle and even their manure 😊. I wish I had your ability with horses. I'm learning so much. Thank you ever so much for that. You will never know how much I appreciate your videos. Bless you and Tanya for all you do. ❤
Me too!
Tears are just falling down my face. What a beautiful video in many ways. One of the most touching and deep videos. Thank you Steve, Tanya, Angela and Stephanie for everything. Merry of Christmases and happiest of new years!!!
What a heart-warming video -- Stephanie Powers is an angel to save Mr. Big, and Angela has plenty of horse-smarts to carry this work forward. Thanks to all for bringing us in close to see the process.
Don't you dare beat yourself up about how far you got with MrBig!!
Every single interaction he has had in his WHOLE LIFE has been fraught with tension as he anticipates fear engendering, painful actions from all the humans around him. And those self same humans are full of tension and nervous anticipation of the "ride" they may get out of MrBig!!
Not only bred for generations to over react to every stimulus but fed stimulation in HUGE doses by ALL the people in his life.
You have changed him!!!
That is amazing!!
Still a horse with horse needs and he now has the tools to navigate a calm retirement!
Beautiful
FarmerMJ
No way should you feel down on yourself! The curveballs provided useful re-training sessions, so Mr Big could learn again how he was safe. You did an absolutely amazing job with Mr Big. Congratulations, Stephanie was so appreciative of your help. You now deserve a rest and some family time.
ABSOLUTELY! "Curveballs" are a part of life! And it's not like it was any fault of yours! 😊Guarantee WE will make mistakes, things don't go as smoothly as they do for Steve... I was only thinking happily how there had been ENOUGH built in calmness, TRUST, etc. all around at the times they happened, Mr. Big didn't completely revert to his initial levels & just BLOW UP/OUT! BLESS YOU for showing the "curveball" & explaining the perseverance TIME, rather than editing it out like nearly every other CZcams trainers!! It's the REALITY & imperative to NOT get upset with ourselves, horses, others... Just keep calm, start breathing again/reset, keep thinking & adapting. Going back to WHAT DO/CAN we easily do, regains confidence, then just start slowly building again.
Eleven years old is a such a fully developed brain, he is choosing to learn, what an intelligent horse. Great job letting him think, Steve.
Steve, you are always amazing! I cried thru alot of this video but the happiness was just so intense. The magic you work with troubled horses is beyond compare. Hugs and so much love to you and Tanya for taking the time to show these horses that life can be good again. I love you so much. 🥰
Thanks to Stefanie for rescuing Mr. Big (in addition to many other animals) and to you, Steve, for helping this poor traumatized horse. And Griffin is adorable, like another childhood story of Corduroy the teddy bear.💕🐴🐎
Awesome. I can't wait for an update on Mr. Big! ❤
Mr Big was sent by universe Stephanie, sometimes these beasts are just meant to be in our lives, congratulations your intuition was spot on he’s truly a beautiful boy and who cares maybe a life of no rider is just what he needs and a wonderful walking partner 🤗💕❤️🌈🙏🎄👼
Such a pleasure to watch this. Steve your patience and teaching with horses is a joy.
Go Stephanie, loved watching Hart to Hart!❤
So cool that so many friends showed up to greet you here in the US.
Great video, I loved the way you worked with this horse. I think bucking horses may be bred for athleticism and tenaciousness, not necessarily for "feral" qualities. Most horses will buck if you put a bucking strap on them, the trick (for stock contractors) is to get horses that are good at it. This horse certainly didn't seem particularly aggressive, in fact he seemed to have a fairly forgiving disposition.
You sir, are a a gift to the world of horses. Thank you for all you & your wife do and for being so generous with your knowledge & wisdom. Thank you to Stephanie and Angela! I wish all of you and Mr. Big many blessings in the New Year. I hope he experiences all of the joy that was stolen from him in his other life. In that horse we can see the worst of and then the best of humanity. Thank you Ms. Powers for following your instincts!
Those bucking horses are bred to be abused. The way they are treated/raised is the complete opposite of your principles, Steve. They don't trust humans, are shown no kindness, no leadership or are helped towards a partnership. Your knowledge and understanding needs to become the mainstay of everyone who has anything to do with horses. The formular for success is Knowledge + Application. If only more people gained the knowledge, then applied it appropriately then maybe we wouldn't have so many abused horses.
Horse abusers should be jailed and not allowed to have them!
Absolutely astounding. We all learnt a lot about bucking horses and the life of fear they live through watching this incredible transformation. That last “laughing “picture of Mr Big says it all as to how happy and calm he looks now. Thanks for all you do Steve. Onwards and upwards into 2024 we go. Love to you all ❤
I used to watch Hart To Hart with Stephanie Powers, And i loved watching her in "McLintock" with John Wayne, she is a very brilliant actress. 🙂Great horse training Steve, As always. 🙂🙃
My cup runneth over. Thank you for sharing. An apifany I had as a childhood trauma survivir, and a dog trainer for a quarter century.... for trauma recovery, calm the mind, calm the body. Thank you.
Oh Steve. Just watched the end where you were questioning yourself. Are you kidding? You made a huge difference. Well done as always. You are special.
What a beautiful boy Mr Big is, makes me cry at the thought of all the horses that aren’t so lucky to be rescued. Job well done 👍
Wow, this was such a great video. Mr. Big's smile at the end says it all. I think he has a bright future ahead of him. Thanks to Stephanie P!!
Really been looking forward to this one. Love all you do, but this one little bit special. 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Oh wow, I think you should not be down on yourself at all. I think you did the best!! I have confidence in you, please do so for yourself as well.
How many times I end up in tears at the end of Steve and Tonya’s videos! Thank goodness for Miss Stephanie Powers. I have been aware of her animal advocacy for years. She’s a treasure! Love this!!!!🙏💚💚💚HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As always, you were amazing with this horse, Steve! I have to say you were navigating extra tension because of the other trainer's history and feelings being involved. You did a stellar job working with her! I wish Stephanie had given you the much deserved credit in her closing comment. But those of us who know your work can see your skill, talent, and magic once again take effect with Mr. Big. You have helped so many troubled horses and their owners. You are a blessing! Thank you! ❤
The horse knows... and we know the credit that Steve (and his supportive family) deserves.
I thought she credited Steve’s impact on the beginning of the horse’s story. She a person who is very focus on outcomes. I thought she was very nice.
You can see griffin adores steve, his bless Griffin how an animal can still have trust after abuse from monsters Great work love to you both Merry Christmas and may 24 be full of more great success stories. 🎄🤩👼🙏💕😍
Been so looking forward to another full length video! Definitely missed watching you! You are so passionate and fun and humble!🐴 Merry Christmas to you and all your family! Hope you all stay happy and healthy!! 😁🎄💕
Congratulations to Rolex and to you on getting your horse back. You must be excited about it. I am in the process of tracing a horse I sold. Don't know if I will be able to. A very Happy New Year to you all.🎉
That was wonderful!! I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes. Mr Big is going to have the best life ever! It’s amazing how all the pieces fell into place for Stefanie to find him! Miracles do happen! BTW Steve….thats the first time I’ve ever seen you hand feed a horse!!
Steve Young- HORSE WHISPERER! Tonya Young- CAMERA WHISPERER! ❤❤❤ Thank You from my heart to both of you!
Mr Big is intelligent and good hearted wants to connect. Really enjoyed that video watching a true horseman at work, but really like Mr Big's attitude. Learnt a lot as well of the subtle give and take.
You say at the end that you were down on yourself because you thought you'd get farther along with Mr. Big. However, the one thing that has stuck with me from every video I've watched (besides "Look at the feet! It's about the feet!) is that you work with the horse where THEY are. You have to be ready to change things on the fly since you can't control 100% of the surroundings. I thought you did absolutely AMAZING with what those broncs lives are up until they "retire". He came from being not only bred to be terrified of humans, but almost every interaction with humans reinforced the terror. Watching him soften and lean into you, Angela, and Stefanie brought happy tears to my eyes!
Fabulous video. Steve, your timing and sensitivity are pure artistry.
I think you did brilliantly - Mr Big went from wanting nothing to do with people to approaching with curiosity and being leadable. On the topic of "life lessons from horses and Steve Young" I've been so inspired by how horses are afraid but keep trying because we ask - in particular remembering the horse who was too scared to come out of his stable. I hadn't given credit for how *brave* they are and it inspires me to have a fraction of that bravery.
Before you went to Mr. Big, you were not sure you could help,your vet was concerned, & other horse people were doubtful. In fact, you accomplished a LOT,& are too hard on yourself in wishing it had been even more. Great trip, great video, thanks to all you & Tanya do!!!!
What a beautiful, positive and curious horse- you could see him being so interested in what you wanted him to do all the time, though his flight instinct was so strong and his every muscle twitching at every little change in the environment- but his demeanour was saying: “I really want to understand what you want and I will try my best”.
Such a beautiful and sweet horse
I have witnessed some terrible abuse to horses and other animals when I was growing up in Alberta. I was powerless as a kid to stop any of it. It made me cry to watch how all of the people in this video were like angels to these horses. Bless you all. I felt that if Mr. Big was every going to be ridden it would be bareback with as little restraints as possible. I used to ride a dear old mare bareback in the mountains becasue she hadted saddles and she was covered with saddle sores from people cinching her up too tight and using ill fitting saddles. I am getting close to 80 myself and boy, do I admire Stephanie. Cheers to all with lots of love.
I absolutely LOVED this!!! Beautiful video! It's wonderful seeing you and the amazing Tanya together as always doing your thing!
Speaking of rescued horses... I'd like to put in a word for the Legacy of Legends Sanctuary in France. The name of their CZcams channel is The Moons. They started in England and moved their operation France. They take in old Championship and Olympic horses past their prime (30+ years old some of them) and care for them till their life is over. Some have been rescued from slaughter just in the nick of time. They are trying to create legislation to create a data base for when horses change hands so that none of them get lost in the mix like so many have ending in the slaughter house. They never fault the owners because they understand there are usually extenuating circumstances leading to horses being let go. They fix special meals for the ones who have lost their teeth and quite literally treat them like their children. It's so lovely to see! Their videos are wholesome and follow their young family while caring for these beautiful Legends. They have struggled for years trying to get their charity /cause off the ground and finally gaining traction. A news channel did a story on them which will be coming out soon if it hasn't already. I have no connection to or affiliation with them other than wanting to see them succeed in their worthy endeavors. Nick and Jennifer Moon or Mummy and Daddy Moon as they like to be called are a breath of fresh air just like your channel is. I hope you'll check them out and perhaps give them a thumbs up. Or they have a website under Legacy of Legends which talks about the careers of each horse. ❤
I’ve been so excited to see this one! I had a dear black lab named Mr. Big. I miss that precious dog every day. I’m so happy for Stephanie.
I watched this video in its entirety, and my heart was broken at the start for Mr. BIG. Then to watch until the end,I was crying happy tears for him!
You all did such a wonderful thing for him!
I grew up watching Stephanie. I had always hoped she was as sweet,and kind hearted as I thought she was,and she didn't disappoint! I'm now a subscriber. I look forward in getting to know you all! What an inspiration you all are! ❤
Brilliant Steve!!! As usual. The greatest horse whisperer of All!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤🐎❤️
Loving this but I always end up crying at the cruelty of the human. Thanks Steve and Tanya and all those other animal lovers. Best wishes always from New Zealand
❤️❤️
Awwww this was lovely, I cried when you told us about griffin the draft horse who had his ears damaged. Beautiful horses, mr big going to do well, he’s lovely. Steph seems great and loves the horses, so he’s lucky she found him, and we’re lucky to see him. Thanks Steve and Tanya, I hope we get updates 🤞🏻 thank you hope you had a great Christmas and new year ❤
I think your trip was a success. If I recall the intention was to evaluate Mr. Big to see if you thought there was any hope of rehabilitation. I would say your evaluation was positive. Therefore, mission accomplished! You showed that he could be brought back to where you had progressed after the two major curve balls you were thrown. And the part in the stocks must have been a major stressor for him considering his history. Baby steps, as they say. Well done, all of you!
What? I thought you did awesome! That poor horse came so far just in the videos. You are amazing. All the best from a Brit in California!
Watching you kneel and Mr. Big dropping his head just made me cry. Thanks Steve...for all you and Tanya do.
You have an amazing amount of patience with horses and people! Love these videos!
Beautiful fellow, Mr. Big. Thank you for helping him---and I hope you and Tanya are home and doing well. Blessings from America!
Nice to watch authentic healers at work, no ego getting in the way just love without condition in full force; the horses of course know that instantly =)
He is a healer, yes. The horses pick up just energy like dogs & cats do.
This was so beautiful to watch. Knowing how much Mr Big must fear human contact, but then a little more understanding, a slight push and pull and change happens. Steve, honestly you made such a huge change in his quality of life - and opened the door to him accepting affection. That’s HUGE. 😊. Glad to hear you are reassessing your 2024 goals - they sound much more reasonable so that you have time in your beautiful home. Wishing you and your family the best 😊
This was one of the best horse videos I have seen! Respect to horses! :)
What beautiful souls! Both horse and rescuer!
With regards to the blinking, any time it comes up, I am reminded of seeing Jackson Galaxy dealing with troubled cats. He would often do a slow blink with a cat to let them know he was not a threat. Perhaps it is somewhat universal that if a predator closes theirs eyes, they are not looking for a meal or a fight.
Mr. Big is a beautiful horse. What a blessing it is to see him calm down and accept people. Steve you are the best!!
Amazing work Steve. Your patience is what won the experience
Thank you Steph for doing what you do , its amazing, saving animals life , stay safe , enjoy !
Steve, you really have to wonder if the make shift stocks reminded him too much of the Shute they put him into, just before the rider would lower onto his back, the shute would be opened, and the bucking would begin with the 'help' of the tightened 'bucking strap' and the cowboy's spurs ?!! Probably a bit of PTSD going on there with his reactions, trying to turn around, etc. !
Edit : Steve, I made this comment JUST before you said the same thing ! Great horse minds think alike, I guess. :)
A truly great Steve demonstration on how to gentle this rodeo horse! Can only go forward with Stephanie and Angela's care. Happy New Year to all from a Canadian fan.
Steve, Mr. Big needed that amount time, and slow progress. Look how much progress you and he made with building his confidence and curiosity, and budding personality. Lovely horse.
P.S. The cells and chemistry in his body are changing. See him as a partner and riding horse, in all his glory.
Words and belief are important.
Looking forward to seeing his progress.
Another fabulous chapter from your amazing, true story, helping owners help their horses!
Steve and Tanya, you honestly do such an amazing thing. Had tears in my eyes watching this.
I am also one who has worked over the holidays, veterinary care doesn't sleep either, but please do get some rest time. In a caring and most sincere meaning, Steve, you look shattered! Look after both of you, too. ❤
I love you Steve! I hope if, nothing else, this horse will teach people that it’s not about DNA or hundreds of years of genetic breeding. He’s a horse. And if you can approach him with that understanding, and appreciate the traumas and abuse he has suffered at the hands of human predators, he will respond as a horse and not a group of DNA and manipulative breeding. He will be an absolutely tremendous partner with the right person.❤
Hi Steve, The Hart to Hart TV show had other great horse people like Stephanie on it. Did you know when Robert Wagner owned a ranch in Hidden Valley, Thousand Oaks, California Ray Hunt clinics were hosted there. Some of Ray Hunts colt starting videos available for sale today were filmed at Robert Wagner's Thousand Oaks, California ranch. It's nice to see another actress of that TV show sharing gifted horseman with the world. Thank you to all involved with this video.
I was so thrilled wherever this notification came up!
Mr. Big is so lucky that Stefanie came into his life! And it's so wonderful that you, Steve could help her out with her troubled horse! Just the thought of him being put down for being something he was unfortunately turned into, had me so very sad.
But what a difference you have made! And with the continued help from Angela, Mr. Big will be the most perfect horsey companion. It's ok, if he is never ridden again. He has already endured so much in his years on this earth. He can now, live out his best, rest of his life acting like a big ole puppy dog! Lol
Thanks for all you do Steve! And to Tanya for filming so the rest of us can enjoy your wonderful channel!
Blessings and Happy New Year!
Hugs 💕 Suzy
Thank you Steve and Tanya for all you do for horses!!! You’ve shown me a lot about training! Too bad I don’t own a horse!!
I dont own or ride either!! Love watching how amazing it is that he can communicate without language but instead, kindness 😊
You can start by taking riding lessons. When I was a teenager, I volunteered to clean stalls and help out at the barn just to get some more experience and be around the horses too. I haven't owned a horse or really ridden much in years... but watching these videos makes me want to start again!
When Mr. Big was being moved and looked behind to see if his support group was coming, was fantastic. He will be a great horse, amazing.
❤️🇨🇦🎄
Its amazing how mr.Big went from so scared not want to be touched into sniffing Stefany’s hair. Wonderful job Steve!
What a vid ! No need need to feel down , you’ve given that horse the gift of a life without fear, all the best for the new year 🎉
Don’t skip anything, I enjoy everything you say and do with these precious animals.
Loved this Steve soo interesting and pulled at heart strings. Well done Stephanie for the magnificent job you do. Can’t tell you what an amazing a job you do for the horses. Steve great work as usual. Love how you change the horses and ponies lives with such grace and quality, as always is your way. Bless you all thank you 😊❤
Thank you all for giving this sweet horse a second chance at having a much better life. This raised my spirit so much. Thank y'all for the love you have for horses
Mr. Big is a beautiful, smart, brave horse. I myself believe that with more work he will be an amazing riding partner for someone who will take the time to love him for the rest of his handsome life. Thanks to all of those out there who, like me who rescue not only horses, but any animal in need.
Thrilled for Mr. Big! Great work guys. I love big horses and he’s absolutely beautiful. Hope his true life is just beginning.😊
Steve handles trainers and fearful horses really well (at 43:33) - she should respect his knowledge and patience with her. Nice horse rescue. Thanks for posting.
She was simply expressing her opinion on what Mr Big was about to do, because she knew the horse better, and Steve himself recognised that. I thought that lady was very good with Mr Big. I think Steve and Angela both respected each other
@kidstuff44555 HE handled it nicely. She thought he was being rude, as evidenced by her remark.
Along with quieting horses, Steve is good at biting his tounge as well. He did step back and tactfully dealt with that situation. I'm a little surprised that bit was left in the video.
I must be overwhelmed what with the excitement of the holidays --- I used to know how to spell "tongue".
@@marymcclavey8395 LOL - I didn't catch that.
Oh Thank you kindly Stefanie for your wonderful loving heart, and saving that beautiful horse. I applaud you for that, and God Bless You and have a Happy New Year!
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I bought the book for my great granddaughter. Her momma has a little mare she has had for 15 yrs. Gentle as a puppy. This little girl, now 4, rides her. She loves horses. You are spectacular.
People like you guys give my faith back in the human race. Thank you for helping this beautiful horse ❤
OMGOODNESS!!! Watched this in my youth! CANNOT believe it! Tell her Hello from the State of Louisiana!❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😘Ps. I'm almost 64 that's how long it's been, since I've seen her🙀
Lobe that last picture of Mr Big with Stephanie. I can see he is quite the character, has a good sense of humor. An intelligent horse. So glad she rescued him. So glad she set him free to be the persomality he is meant to be.

Don't beat yourself up too much Steve horses are great levellers as we all well know and all individuals
The fact you improved his life is what you should take from it ❤
Hope you had a good Christmas 🎄
Mr Big and Stephanie a lovely combo. I remember her very well from TV series which we watched and enjoyed, movies too. It's so nice to see her being herself with her passion for horses. Thanks Steve for a fabulous video, you made Mr Big's life so much better, to see him fully relaxed and enjoying people was such a blessing.
