- A few weeks ago I went to out to Colorado to ranch with my friend Nate Bowers and this was one of the jobs we had to get done.

Had a friend loose his best horse that was gored by a longhorn steer. They were moving the herd and as he rode by the steer swung his head and gored the horse through the ribs and into his heart. Just missed the guys leg. The horse died right there. Pretty sad. Ryan, you were risking your life several times. Not worth it man! Longhorns are cool to look at, but I'd never own any.😂
Key take away is how calm everyone stayed, low energy!
We tried 😊
Notice how considerate of the horse they are when mounting. Smooth & over, not plopping down hard into the saddle. Love it!
Thanks
Yes. Great horsemanship.
My mother worked on an outback cattle Ranch working wild long horns,, she taught us lots of horse skills not found in normal English riding ..she also was the first lass to walk a horse up at Newmarket as she worked for John Penny when he was racing .(.later he was for years the voice of racing on uk TV..) I look at the cattle you are working and they look scary ..plus in a corral the danger must be More ..
Love your work , always learn something new ,, starting my last horse now ..as am @#$% years old..🐎👌💃🎵

Ik you probably won’t reply bc you have a lot of videos but I’m 12 and trying to train a 4 year old gelding I have him adjusted to halters lead ropes fly mask and allowing me to apply things to his body (mixtures to help with flys, since he’s allergic it’s really important) but I need help knowing how to teach him to be ok with fly spray, he’s very curious but spray bottles freak him out😅 also need a bit of help with teaching him to hold his hoof up for someone he lifts it up but won’t hold it very well. And last thing is how exactly do I adjust him to the weight of a person on his back
Ik this is a lot but it would mean the world to have some help!😅 Just some advise?😂
@@madisonjd.6969that’s what my patreon page is for. Check it out www.patreon.com/ryanrosehorsemanship
@@madisonjd.6969 I recomend the patreon page-I've learned a lot
@@stephannewenhisen6439 dang I didn’t get the patreon but that was a longggg time ago he’s halter broke and riding great now still pretty skittish at fly spray😅 but broke nonetheless 😂 thanks though
@@madisonjd.6969 I hope his training goes well🙂
"Is that gate shut?". "I hope so ". They heard me in the next county, I was laughing so hard. #1 rule. If you open a gate, you shut the gate!
That was intense watching that herd. Never been around longhorns so I'm surprised at how defensive they are. Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed
@@ryanrosehorsemanship hi Ryan, what is the name of the music in this video?
I own long horns and I was also surprised! Mine are just friendly pets though
@@fishygirl3548 awww that's lovely. I have a cousin in Australia who has highland cattle I forget their breed but they are her pets. I grew up with a jersey house cow we all learnt to milk by hand thanks to Rohnda... sweetest cow ever
I didn't know you day worked or anything, super cool to see
Very brave, Ryan, I must say. I haven’t been around longhorns in a long time, but I’ve never forgotten the combination of adrenaline and fearful moments. I run Angus on my ranch now, and they are a handful in their own way. This was fun, thanks!
That's why my border collie/ red heeler works long horns.
YaHOOOOO! Ride cowboy! What an opportunity! I've been to Fort Collins for hiking in foot hills. Visited some cattle fattening yards pre-shipping. Then went to learn horseback cattle gathering in Kiowa, CO with a cowboy church outfit I volunteered for. I was blessed to be on the most incredibly finished cattle horse I will ever ride. The memories will last the rest of my days. I was on top of the world ...living the dream for 3 days.
"... super simple." You made my day Ryan :)
Good dog! I'm going to guess healer/border collie cross? And this certainly made me appreciate my old herd - black baldies out of Angus cows and a super gentle Hereford bull who'd been a halter broke show calf. No joke... He loved for anyone to sit on him and scratch his back. The herd was broke to the feed bucket. Just whistle, wave a feed bucket and you could lead them anywhere. Besides the cool look of the longhorns, I do think they forage better and are generally healthier than other bovines. My neighbor's longhorn bull has a really easy going temperament as well.
Oh boy!
This was fun to see and learn about! Also I love the videography.
Mess with the bull, get the horns? 😂 "They get a little wilder in the pen." No kidding! Glad you and Windy came through safely.
I love this part of Colorado!
That was fun and different. Thanks for sharing
I thought that sounded like Nate Bowers. It would scare the heck out of me to send a great dog after those critters!!! You guys are brave!
I have worked with a lot of different breeds of cattle longhorns were the most dangerous I have ever worked with they are not afraid of anything
we can’t do anymore sorting at barn bc they got all steers and cows with longer horns for roping😭😭
Man o man, that was close! I think it would be safer to just use a dog and a long, long stick to seperate the cattle. Ryan, you horse trusts you completely.
“I tried once … it didn’t go very good.” …so… off you go! 😂😱😂😱 dogs are AMAZING!
Heeler is really the dog for these cattle here, nice work!
Hoo, that one was hairy and so interesting! Really nice with the cinematic video-ing, too.
I love watching working dogs do their job.
I would love to have a herding dog, unfortunately I don't have a job for them to do.
Yep... those horns are scary.
Cool video. A small glimpse into the life of a cowboy.
Thanks Ryan!
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
I’ve been working with cows since college, yeah…..I’ll pass
I did not realize Nate had Longhorns. They are the pretty cattle.
This reminded me of Cross Timbers Bison when they work their bison. Very intense. No long dangerous horns to worry about but massive powerful animals.
Fun to watch.
Never liked working cattle even on a good horse. Cattle prods help
Scary fun! Nobody cried, nobody died 😅
😂😂
Thanks for the education in moving longhorns. We have Gelbvieh/Angus x's easy going. Those long hors move so differently as they walk sea-sawing from left to right to manage the weight. Yup I will watch probaly not ever volunteer to move 'em.
Awesome video!
Love longhorns but wow, this video shows just how incredibly careful you need to be with them. 😮❤
Always thought it would be cool to have a Longhorn. This video just changed my mind!
Whoa, that was scary.
Well that was interesting.
I believe I'll stick to Cowboy Dressage, thanks anyway! 😅
Had three longhorns. Most worthless, mischievous, problem childs ever. The worst horse I ever had was world's better than any one of my former longhorns. If they didn't have the majestic looking horns no one who had to work with them would keep them around except in the freezer.
Pretty aware of their stand! And these seemed like the young ones.......
Always thougt these beasts where threatend in a heard with yelling and reaching wide with a bull whip from horseback working them out...........would never ever mess with them in tight spaces in person or in person on horseback!
Many years ago, a small heard of buffalo decided to tour the area, by breaking down a 6 ft wood corral, and a couple of wire fences, and 3 of us were tasked with rounding them up. Lucky for us those beasts did not have a set of horns like those longhorns, but, it didn't stop them from trying real hard. My horse has walked past grizzly bears, big elk, and moose on 10ft wide trails between mountains, where there was no where to go with no fear, but did not want anything to do with those buffalo, even though he could outrun them. They were CRANKY, SNORTY, and charged everything. We finally drove them into a round pen built with 2 by10 spruce, and kept them running around the pen, until they changed their minds. The owners showed up with dogs, and bullwhips, and made short work of loading them up, and we spent the rest of the day repairing all the fences they broke. I don't think I would want to be on foot around either of them. They just don't care, and don't trust. Horses are such special animals, and after seeing those buffalo perform, makes me love them even more.
Love the 🦆 quacks 😂❤
Heck, back in arr day we'd ah just jump on der backs, grab em by the ears and steer um on in, dang these kids nowadays
Ikr!😂
Real life herd work there, looks like that was a full on staying alive experience. Nate is an amazing Cow Man, thank goodness for his experience with the Bovines. Don't use long horns for your Colorado Ranch Camp ;-) Just sayin. Great video Ryan.
I was scared for Wendy. I thought she was going to get impaled.
me too
This is why most domestic cattle are dehorned when they're calves - it's safer for everyone around.
I never thought I'd agree with that thought but I guess I've never been around longhorns. These guys are different in nature...a defensive herd. Scary stuff lol
But they would not be longhorns without longhorns
it’s animal abuse.
@@marycanary3871 ummm dehorning is actually to protect the stock too. A mild arguement with polled cattle can be deadly to at least one, or both of the combatants if they’re horned and at the least will result in vet bills. Most cattle these days are bred naturally polled,which means most won’t develop horns and debudding is only needed occasionally.
@@jackieraulerson2005 true
Why not remove the horns as calves when they’re being raised for meat? Is it some sort of status symbol? NUTS
It may seem nuts, but these are not dairy cows. Perhaps it is time we learn to handle what is natural, rather than always change things to our benefit and the animals detriment?
@Kate Mohr these Longhorns are not being raised for meat. The primary purpose is to grow the horns for decorative displays, after they get a certain length the cattle are butchered and the horns are sent to be made into display.
That was exhilarating….
😳 OMG!!
I'm sorry Ryan but this should not have been done horseback.
😂😂😂😂😂
they dont make it into adulthood without becoming fully aware of their horns ! they can snap their necks real quick
That looked sketchy! Wow
Wow dude 🤦🏻😂
Texas longhorns wouldn't be the same with horns cut.
WHAAAAA😮. Fort Collins I was in Loveland for 6 months and never saw any ranch or any bulls for that matter what the hell! I would came and volunteered my time and possibly try gorier one or two of them🤦🏻♂️ hey when rodeo is in your blood. He poop but my GF and I came back out here to cal and if you ever heard of COTTON ROSSER FLYING U RODEO. Yep spent plenty time out there!
Only 10 minutes? QuackQuack lol
What are Longhorn cattle used for
HORSES > COWS
❤️
I bet y'all have no problems with predators!
Uhh… you do realize that they have lethal weapons and you, well… don’t? 😬
Don't try this at home lol
Longhorns are good for nothing. Saw 'em off! My Border Collie hated them before he ever worked livestock.
leave animals alone.
