  • Join me in this insightful video as I tackle the challenge of working with a horse exhibiting complex behaviors. This horse presents a unique set of issues: food aggression, difficulty in being caught, a tendency to buck riders off, and overall defensiveness. My approach is grounded in empathy and a deep understanding of horse psychology. I focus on interpreting the horse’s behavior to foster a better understanding between horse and rider. Through patience and a calm, confident demeanor, I aim to transform these challenges into opportunities for growth and bonding.
    This video is not just about addressing behavioral issues; it's about adopting a holistic approach to horsemanship that respects and understands the horse's perspective. Whether you're a seasoned equestrian or new to horse training, this video offers valuable insights into effective communication and training techniques.
    For those who are eager to delve deeper into horse training and my unique approach to horsemanship, I invite you to join my Patreon community. There, you'll find an array of detailed training videos and resources that are part of my comprehensive horsemanship program.

    Remi is a jewel in the making. So sad these horses find themselves in a kill pen merely because they started out with the wrong humans. These horses have human problems, they don’t have horse problems…great video ❤

    • @ahashdahnagila6884
      @ahashdahnagila6884 Před 4 měsíci +14

      That's true. When horses "start out with the wrong human(s)", it is certainly as you describe it.
      I had a yearling filly that I bought, over 30 years ago. The owner (who had 8 or 10 horses, including 2 foals) told me that the filly I was interested in buying was "incorrigible". I had a different opinion: just by noticing how free-spirited she was (and how she just loved the school kids who got off the bus near her large enclosure: who greeted her, every school day).
      The lady (who was incorrigible, herself) sold me this Black Beauty for $250, in 1990.
      ---
      What people don't realize, sometimes, is that horses each have their own personality: I simply loved this spirited filly!
      She was so "teachable" because she really wanted to learn (and she liked people)!
      By contrast, a black stallion (also a true 'black') was in the open-air stall right across from my horse (in Arizona). He had two different owners during that whole time: men who wanted to dominate and control (and the stallion would have 'none' of that: he bucked them both off, breaking the second owner's arm). The horse would watch how I interacted with my filly, as she became full-sized, over time: he even "warmed up to me" because he was such an observant animal!
      ("I want to be treated just like that," I heard him say, in my mind.)
      ---
      With the right human(s), Ryan shows what is possible.
      Note: If "dominance" is the goal, people are better off with a dog, not a horse!
      I had a "working relationship" and a "partnership" with my horse: I wouldn't have had it any other way!

    I got a 4 y/o unbroke mare from the same kill pen at the beginning of August. She had a lot of the same qualities as this mare. Defensive, fearful, reactive, but also so honest and willing to learn. I only started riding her at the end of November because she needed at least 2 months just to decompress and build a bond with me before I could introduce any training to ride. Seeing how this mare was acting at the beginning of the video, they should never have started riding her when they did. She's so scared to just be touched, no wonder she bucks under saddle. I'm glad the owner reached out for help. I love the mare's personality from this video and I'm glad she has a professional working with her to help her reach the greatness she has in her

      In the UK where there are no kill pens. I can only imagine how awful they are and what dreadful experiences this lovely young horse has had so far in her life. You are right, I am sure any horse coming through that would need a good few months to decompress, chill out and settle into the yard routine, make friends with other calm quiet horses and learn to trust the humans looking after it and feel safe. That was a nasty bite and I think she must have felt really cornered and panicked to do that. She seems like she has a soft nature. She's a gorgeous horse and I'm looking forward to seeing her progress.

      What would be helpful is not to expose horse and owner to a constant, never ending torrent of words. It's very exhausting to listen to it and get anything out of it! Couldn't the training be done quietly and in sections with short explanations after each part? I am sure it would be more productive 🤔

    If we can just imagine what horses in kill pens go through....overcrowding, fighting for resources including food and water, fear, panic, human interactions...to name a few, is unimaginable. I can't imagine the fear they go through while in these pens.
    Thank you to this woman for saving Remy's life.
    Having empathy and understanding that many of her reactions are most likely related to fear and defensiveness, helps having an assertive yet empathetic leader. Thank you, Ryan!
    I would suspect it's mainly sheer survival, constant sympathetic and hyper vigilant state that these horses fo through before complete shut down. The fact that Remy tried to survive and live is an attestation of her strength in my opinion.❤

    Ryan, I think you're the best horse trainer on YT. Anyone who finds this 'boring' isn't watching carefully enough; your first visits are much like going on first dates with different horses! EVERY 'conversation' is different, every moment introduces different stimulus and response; the body language is subtle but clear. This to me is one of the MOST fun experiences to build rapport with a horse.

    I love her! So thankful for your expertise and understanding. It seems she may have been misunderstood/mishandled for most of her life. I think she has a lot of heart to keep trying and she’s going to be incredible. Love that I can follow her progress. So happy she landed in a good spot with someone who is committed to her.

    I was taken aback by the idea Ryan does the same video all the time. I rescued an abused feral feedlot mare a year ago. I utilized the techniques I learned from these videos to work with her. I made very slow progress. She was so scared it was hard to communicate with her. I re watched the same videos over and over again. I learned I had to watch for the smallest signs of communication. She clenched her teeth and didn't lick and chew. She never blew out. So I watched Ryan and released pressure on a slight bend of her body towards me or a tiny lowering of her head. Gradually we started communicating more and I would get more visible signs of relaxation. Well, you should see her now. Shes an actual horse with a great deal of talent and personality. I would never have been able to do this if I didn't watch Ryan doing the same thing, with lots of horses, over and over again.

    I am totally blind, and I have spent many many hours with a miniature horse who was previously abused by Amish people. I know how to use my remaining senses of smell hearing and touch to safely interact with horses as a totally blind person. My next step is to take some lessons, and then train my own miniature horse as a guide horse for myself.

    Lastly, she is such a beautiful horse with awesome confirmation! Does have a sweetness of spirit in her,too. Agree with Ryan, feeling safe is high on her priority list. When she feels that trust consistently, her sweetness will come out more as she relaxes into it.

    If you've "always wanted to buy from a kill pen", (admirable), then you ALSO have to expect dangerous behaviour. Of course you won't always get dangerous behaviour, but they're in a kill pen for a reason, and one of the reasons horses end up there IS dangerous behaviour. So its very naive for this owner to be surprised... you should accept there's always the possibility.

    Lotsa great things here. Love the way you've taken previous teaching from greats, who've also taken their teachings from greats to keep the horse relationship message going.. ie it's not just treats and pets or how beautiful they are. Also love the way you self-mandate "reading" a horse before doing anything first. All that talking around the horse actually makes her relax. Love the way your messages to her are clear and concise. All that wiggling of the rope made her nervous because she didn't know what the owner was saying. Love the way to teach/train to each side differently since they are "different " brains. Yes, lengthy vid, but very worthwhile. Thanks so much

It is more respectful and kind to the horse and like you said builds rapport and a good foundation.

    I am so glad you addressed that wiggling of the lead rope the owner did at the beginning! I never have liked it. I like your style, you read the horse well.
    I happen to have a horse that is VERY food motivated! 😂 One time my horse got out of her paddock and was a block away on the other side of the street. Someone else was feeding that morning and called me all in a panic. I told her to open the gate, hold a flake of hay over her head at the gate and to call my horse good and loud. (She told me later she thought I was crazy, but did it anyway) The other horse that was with her would follow as soon as he realized she was leaving. Sure enough, when she heard her name, she lifted her head, saw the hay, and galloped right back to the open gate! And her pasture mate quickly followed her.🤣🤣

    Thank you, Ryan! A great video! What makes it exceptionally helpful is the way Remy is so "honest", i.e shows her reactions to anything you do or ask her to do so clearly that the non-professionals among us can quite easily see from her body language what the tasks you set her cause her to feel. Thanks for explaining every step you take in detail and why you take it at this point beforehand, this provides a wonderful learning opportunity. The difference between the state of the horse in the beginning and at the end of your session together when she was able to relax right next to you shows what a great difference to her outlook on working with humans you have already made. As you said, the mare is likable and willing to learn, but there is a lot to do still before she'll be safe for everyone. And her owner is great: it is not easy to have painful memories of being attacked and not give up on the horse but look for truly competent help and pay for months of training (for the horse and herself) in the hope of rewriting those negative experiences. Good luck to all of you! You're "adding value" not only to this beautiful mare but to a lot of horses out here with your viewers! 🤗

    I just found this and it's fantastic. I've learned as much about horse language and training in first 23 minutes than the last 2 years (my friend has "rock solid" mules so he just said "mount up and go"...self training is hard!) . I especially liked seeing the curiosity you talked about early come in later...around 22 minutes Remy starts following after you as you walk away willing with both ears cocked forward and attentive. looks likes she's getting interested and more comfortable. Having only been around well trained older horses, seeing how it works with a younger less easy horse is really hlepful.

If there is one thing that messes people up when working with their animals (and there are way more than one thing,) it's trying to prioritize our own goals over the needs of the animal.
