For those who think he was mean for tapping that horse. Did you see her trying to double barrel kick him? That can easily kill a person. Horses can also bite a face off or break an arm & cause other serious damage. The lessons she learns while young can save her from a bad fate later on. Nice job Ryan.
Yes... one should always be on guard around horses. It is a little known fact that horses love feeding on human faces. They simply can’t get enough of them. One day, the bloodthirsty Millie will hear those pellets rattling & she’s gonna think to herself, “Millie, know what would go *GREAT* with those tasty pellets? *HER FACE* & then as a show of my strength I’ll roll in the blood. Heck, I bet they send another bucket rattler in here tomorrow & I can score another, fine & tasty face. Mmmmm mmmm, dems good eats. I better just knicker & whinny, play it real cool. Yep, just me, Millie, just doing horsey things. ~snort~. Nice, I can taste that face already!” 🐴 💭
@@kerryc What the hell...
@@kerryc horses bite. hard. and it hurts. it's not about eating. clearly, you've been around horses and would know that. horses can weigh 800-1200 pounds. I do not condone abuse of any animal but what he did was not abusive and your response only shows your ignorance of what it is like to deal with horses. I would rather tap a horse on the ass with a whip than have my face kicked in. horses may be herbivores but they can still kill a human easily.
@@spectrumwarrior9560 You take life *WAY* too seriously. I’m WELL aware of the damage that can be had from horses, sir/madam. While horse bites can be dangerous, you run a higher risk of bruising & contusions than you run the risk of “having your face eaten off by a horse.” The worst equine related injuries that run a higher risk of death are from kicks & throws. One of the worst horse related injuries I’d witnessed was someone that was thrown & then kicked by a spooked horse, which resulted in a broken neck, both legs having multiple compound fractures, one knee was hyperextended & uh... yeah; not a fun time for that poor soul. However, lecturing & spreading weird fears in comment sections isn’t helpful to people nor horses. The chances of having one’s face bitten/eaten off by a horse are a billion times less than your chances of being struck by lightning. Having respect of horses & awareness of the surroundings is something that will benefit others other than shock tales of woe, horror & vampiric, face eating horses. Lighten up & be more open to the comedy of life & by gum; keep your face away from Millie! I hear she’s hungry & the stable has a new job opening.
You much respect their size and power. But more than that approach and behave with confidence around them.
I don’t blame her for being a bit afraid.I had a horse that was food aggressive.The horse bit me in the face and almost tore my nose off.A few surgery later and It made me more aware of what they can do.
woah, sorry you experienced that Debra
Damn deb hope ur better now!
Wow
That is exactly why very clear and consistent rules are in place at feeding time. You must establish that there are boundaries and lines that may not be crossed. If they cross the line they may not eat. A good time to put out food is when they calmly step away from you and allow you to pour it into the bin. That's when you drop it. That is how you set the boundary.
I knew a lady that had a horse that bit off her ear lobe because he was food aggressive
This is a smart mare who’s just gotten her way for far too long, good that they caught it early
I'm very glad my horse is a rescue, sort of the opposite of these 'spoilt' horses who are used to having their way. Still, I've taught my horse to never show her back to me (actually kind of regretting that cos I want to brush her tail and she will spin around to face me). Safety for both you and the horse needs to be at the front and foremost. NEVER spoil a horse that doesn't deserve it and NEVER fail to correct a misbehavior. Give me one session in a round pen with a naughty horse and I'll have him or her straightened out, no problem
Now you see how God has to deal with us as sinners ;)
You aint seen food aggression until you've seen me weaning me off of chocolate ice-cream.
😂
🤣
I did not know weaning off ice cream was real...I thought this was a "scare" for adults 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤭I'm just as guilty
I see a lot of comments saying that this girl isn’t very confident. I think the issue is that there’s a camera on her and she doesn’t really know this guy super well. She’s probably more confident alone.
I agree
Same plus if youre horse was like that would have to get a trainer to train yoire dan horse and he has to slap them whit a stick
@@jeannegevaert2144 *your
The issue is she's listening to a halfwit and knows it. These tactics go against every bit of her natural horsemanship and it shows that in her body language.
@@greenmanejuice5424 Her 'natural horsemanship' landed her with a food aggressive mare...
“…a little ‘Buck-You’ there”. Priceless!!!!
Hello beautiful lady,how are you doing and your family,how is the weather condition over there?
@@nelsonwesson9644 u r creepy
Totally!! "Buck you" ... made me chuckle.
I had a 100+ lb filly... l month old. She turned her but to me when I came in to feed mama...
Then she started a pre- kick dance, butt going up, down and swishing her tail... I knew both feet were coming up next.
I held my booted foot about 6 " from her rear and waited... then when it came, her butt hit my boot lol it was so funny. It was , wth just happened, did my butt hit the wall?!! Time to hide behind mama... she never tried it again and has great manners..
No, l did not boot her - she hit the boot when she tried to kick me. Did it to herself it was a Kodak moment ❤
I think it's notable how firm, but kind he was to the horse! He gave her a little boop on the nose when she wouldn't back off and when she was kicking, but otherwise was really respectful. He also stressed not making your horse afraid of you, which I really liked!
Thanks for noticing 👍
What did you watch??? He whacked the horse hard, repeatedly and she kicked.
@@emsnewssupkis6453 what did YOU watch??? the horse kicks first and he respond right away with the same energy, if this had been done from day one, the horse would back off and be docile just with human prensence but since they let it slide it thinks its boss
@@emsnewssupkis6453if you think that was hard you haven’t seen how horses choose to correct each other.
Ryan is cool as a cucumber. Notice how his demeaner doesn't change as he corrects the horse. He doesn't get all amped up. Because it's not personal, it's just the way it is. Horse sees it the same way and respect is established.
Thanks
If we could just do the same attitude with people - not get amped up - as it may not be personal...!!! We are actually more compassionate for animals than fellow humans whether with real or imagined offense are their slights against us. Why do we have more patience with animals than one another. Just saying.
Yup
It is ridiculously easy to teach a horse to be nice when feeding sweet mix! You literally tell the horse to 'step back' and if the horse tries to grab the sweet mix bucket, you GIVE IT TO ANOTHER ANIMAL. I used sheep or chickens for this. The horse gets to watch them eat the sweet mix. After two or three times doing this, the horse figures out to not go nuts for the mix but to step back and wait. It is hilarious fun and no hitting of the horse.
For example, Sparky was poked with a pitchfork to move him aside for feeding. I never did this. I made a game of feeding all the other animals instead of him. It took literally less than 24 hours for him to learn to not only step aside and wait but he never tried to kick me in the stall, ever. He trusted me to do things right and I could trust him to trust my instructions. Also, TALK to the horse! Tell the horse what you are doing. Do this in a deep voice. Make loud snorting sounds, too, like horses. They love this.
As someone who knows nothing about horses this was fascinating. Ryan seems so patient and knowledgeable. Well done to him and Jessica both.
Thanks!
@@robbieoconnor9132 small taps won’t do nothing to that beast. But a double kick will, it can kill him and especially Jessica.
@@robbieoconnor9132 how?
@@ryanrosehorsemanship Ryan does it the old fashioned way, whacking horses and using punishments to get cooperation. There are much better ways to get animals to cooperate. I used to train all sorts of wild animals from skinks to bobcat kitties, Gila monster, alligator, cats, dogs, horses, etc. when I was only a child 60 years ago. Some of my 'pets' ended up at the Desert Museum and were used to entertain children showing how wild animals act and live.
Seems silly responding to a comment from 6 months ago but if you have seen more of Ryans videos youd hear him talking about the horses physcy and speaking to that rather than using old school methods like lunging and tiring the horse. But this specific horse problem was specific to feeding time and the stall where feeding occurs. Given the space and level of aggression "buck-you" attitude, he had to respond with the equal or more amount of energy. The horse will get over and learn lessons from those harmless taps. However the ederly barn helper and young jessica could seriously get injured.
A shout out to Jessica and other horse owners for sharing their experiences with us. It's a big help.
Great lesson. I hate when people think food aggression is cute. I worked with this one spoiled horse where her owner thought it was cute and I had to spend so much time building up respect boundaries. She loved testing me because the longer they are like that the more they push. It translates to riding too. Cause if the can push you off food then pushing off the saddle is just a stones throw away 😂
Seems like it’s a matter of the horse learning that she can use aggression to “teach” humans to do what she wants. Glad to see you worked on boundaries both with and without food.
I started riding as a very young child so I grew up with horses. When I was eight, I got kicked in the ribs by a food aggressive horse named "Food for Thought" (a barn horse I rode regularly but didn't own). The irony of that name is pretty amazing... Anyway, the rib healed in a V-shape which goes about 4 inches into my chest cavity and presses against my liver. It never stopped me from riding, I just learned a hard lesson to pay close attention to a horses body language and cues. Food aggression is a serious issue that deserves attention. Thanks for the educational content. Hoping it spares someone else the kind of injury I experienced.
Food aggression is easy to stop: DO NOT FEED AN AGGRESSIVE ANIMAL. The animal, no matter what kind, has to learn to cooperate when being fed. Even wild animals can learn this. You reward them for cooperating.
If a horse did that to me its name would become "food for dogs".
You're very brave for getting back on horses again. That kind of injury can traumatise someone for life. Then again us horse people are a special lot
Watched this awhile back. Had a colt that was getting aggressive at feeding time and just very pushy. He is better now. Surgical loss of his nay nays couple weeks ago and he is improving greatly. I got to where I would not go in the pen without my flag. He’s learned to move and wait. Had to be consistent.
What Ryan said worked.
Glad to hear that 👍
This is essential teaching, this means horses have a better chance to live happy healthy lives instead of being sold or put down for bad learned behavior. Love this! Thank you for demonstrating clearly.
Jessica: Talking about her badly behaved mare...
Horse behind her: Drops his dangly boy bits to make sure we know she's not talking about him!
😂
😂😂😂
🤣 exactly. I was a little surprised, as I THOUGHT that was “Millie”! Boy, was I wrong.
Me too!!! We were clearly wrong! 🤣
He's not Millie, he's just "hanging out".
The whole time she was talking I was like, “aw how cute is Millie snuggling up against her...wait that’s not a mare” 😂
Sometimes it's about teaching the owners lol
Most of the time.
@@windmillstables1 absolutely
Literally
Always..
So true tho! 😊
I know nothing about horses . . . but that was darn interesting. Thanks
Its contagious 😂🖤
Same.
yes
A lot of times, being aggressive with any animal that you're working with can have big negative effects. However, being the Alpha means being strict, and teaching through various ways of communication is exactly what Ryan does. Great job, and thank you for sharing these videos of your work!!
In all my 30 years rideing horses I am forever learning something new you made some really good points my Arabian would show food aggression but the the way you made those two horses respect your space was like magic as a rider we learn all the time it doesn't matter how long all what level rideing ability you have you still learn things all the time their ain't no such thing as the best rider I definitely learnt something new watching this today this is really good educational info
I love Arabians.
"The more I know, the more I know I don't know". This post helped me, too!
Young lady you got this!!! Walk with purpose and confidence!

That shacking with the bucket reminded me of the scene in harry potter where they ring bells so the white dragon in gringottsbank will back off.

i've never owned a horse, i just happened upon this video...but it's incredible how well you can communicate with the horses ! &in a way that's healthy for not only the animal but the ppl caring for them
Yes, he beat the horse until it retreated into a corner. Yup. Not all that smart but it does work. There are easier ways to teach an animal.
10:30 I entered the video and randomly clicked on that bit and thought the guy was blind. I was real impressed.
Thanks
Jessica did the right thing to call Ryan in for help. She's growing in her knowledge and skills. Facing a horse that acts like that is truly scary. I'm sure with practice and continued support (Ryan, you are going to follow-up with her to make sure it's going right?) she will come out feeling strong about it.
I am a woman who trained both domestic and wild animals. Many girls dream of doing this but cannot be successful due to 'mothering' animals who then push these young ladies around or refuse to cooperate. It doesn't take a person who knows how to be Top Dog very long to get cooperation from horses. But most young ladies want the horses to love/assist them instead of being the Lead Stallion, themselves.
“There are no problem horses, only problem riders/owners” - My aunts favorite quote.
Not a hate comment!!! I really respected and liked the video.
Thats not accurate, it should be, there are problem horses and problem owners, but its always problem starts with owners.
It's said about dogs too, and while I don't completely disagree, a lot of people are unaware that there are a lot of other factors that can affect behavior- things like diet/gut issues, physical pain, diseases (esp thyroid disorders), and vaccine-induced behavioral changes (more common than ppl realise). Whenever there's a major behavioral problem, it just makes good sense to rule out each of these contributing factors as well. :)
My favorite too!
Only horse I couldn't work with was one I could not read. His expression would be happy while acting aggressively. There was no warning when he would go at you. Had to end up giving him away. Latter I heard a horse in the town he went to bit someone's fingers off, always wondered if it was him.
Jessica is still learning and I know how it feels to learn new things especially with horses so it will take time for her to get it right but Millie is also learning shes still young. Both are doing a great job and Ryan is a great teacher.
Now, I'm not a horse owner, I don't have a barn, so maybe I'm being shortsighted, but damn all those extension cords in a wooden building with hay everywhere would have my anxiety so high. On another note, I'm glad these folks take such good care of their animals and offer them the fans being powered by those cords. Awesome video too, i will be watching this channel a lot!
The wiring of the stables was very unstable and in many places, illegal. Barn fires are all too common.
Every year horses die in barn fires because of those fans.
I think earn your trust in your animals and you shouldn't have to beat them with flags whips or any other thing you can find. Whether it be a horse dog cat bird rabbit rodent. Everything with teeth feet will always attack if under threat. Even a snake won't attack unless you corner it
@@narelleguthrie542 You obviously never trained horses.
@@narelleguthrie542 how many prescription drugs are you prescribed? You should cut back.
That is a young pushy mare that needs to be out with an older matriarch. Nothing beats a bigger heard with an older mare to put your youngsters in their place!
One of my horses is not food aggressive but tends to get in my space when I'm pouring his mash into his feed tub. If he gets pushy, he gets my wooden spoon on the end of his nose and he backs off. We're still friends, no harm done, he just needs to be reminded to wait every once in a while. My other horse is a complete gentleman.
Literally, I call this the "oops, did I get in your way?" It teaches personal space because if you weren't so on top of me, you would have been out of range of my flailing item or limb. They don't see it as personal either lol
Just push his nose or try to back him up
Very informative video. Not only do the horses need training but so do the owners. Makes ranch life a lot easier in the long run.
Its like Cesar Millan, but for horses. Love watching people who understand animal body language and are able to kinda communicate
"buck you"?! 🤣🤣🤣 Genius!
I loved that saying!! That was a good one. She "said" it to you several times!! The last shot in the stall she looked like a pouting kid!! Hysterical!
I giggled out loud when he said that. love it

HE LITERALLY SMACKED IT WITH THE WIP MANY TIMES?😤
@@the_horse_girl3710 anything he does is WAY LESS than a herd member would do "to teach them" If these behaviors dont get nipped in the butt now they will NEVER continue to build a relationship.
@@the_horse_girl3710 That's a way of showing Dominance he didn't smack it on the head like I've seen many trainers do, or kick the horse Though its your opion and I respect that
@@the_horse_girl3710 you do realize that how they learn out in the wild they get nipped by other horses same kind of concept!
I have the exact same problem with a six year old Appaloosa mare. She isn't that way towards humans, however, she's painting her ears to the horses. This is next to her in her stall. She does not show this behavior out in the pasture when we put hay down for her. This is an awesome video, and I will definitely be utilizing this exercise until the behavior has been correct
Most often it’s about training the humans. Thank you for what you do.
I’ve been with horses for 58 years. Horses are amazing!
Definitely, thanks!

To those of you crying about him smacking her with that stick... Go watch a horse claim it's space. Teeth, hooves, and hide are FLYING. A stick to the butt is nothing and can help a horse go from lethal to safe in a language they understand. If you can take the heat stay out of the pasture.
Exactly, give them a good slap on the back and they think twice to throw a fit as they now respect you.
The same with leading, I often had to pinch their nose so they would stop and just think OK ok you're the leader
@@TheOcculticUnicorn go pinch you kid then horses have thin skin
@@dontknowwhattoputhere3501 What?
@NonsenTional ಠ_ಠ I don't pinch them hard, I only grab their loose skin.
@NonsenTional ಠ_ಠ No problem. It is the same as when you grab your lip, that's about as sensitive as a horse's nose.
Love your work! This is really helping me out with my own ponies. We don't stall them, but I now know a better way to ask them to give me my space while I situate their food.
I think you needed cue words instead of rattling the feed bucket, which is a good incentive to come, if you want to catch a horse in a hurry. Instead, use "back off" when you want her to clear your space. Also, use a release word. Once she is in the corner, you deliver feed, go out, and say "ok" or any release word so she knows it's ok to eat. It was apparent that she was confused about when she could come out of the corner.
I agree.
Horses don't use words, they use energy and body language to communicate. Energy up, energy down tells them what they need to know.
@@jeanedevries1 One really good thing about cue words though, is their use with the people working with the horse. Horse training can be helped by cue words not just for the horses sake but for the person handling the horse to symbolise/gain a habit of when enforcing or releasing an energy/behaviour to invoke certain reactions. Its a good way for ourselves to remember steps or what to look for in our horses reaction exactly within those seconds around the cue+body language use. If you get what I mean. ;)
Correct. I always said, 'back off' to the horses and cows! It works. Doesn't work on sheep, though. They just baaa at you.
I agree strongly
Very good! Total patience. Nicely done.
Clear, concise, OUTSTANDING instruction! I think you not only helped instill confidence in the horse but also that young lady.
Thanks!
The channel should have a million subscribers! Excellent content!
I'm Apache and I take care of horses, but I've never sat on one. I love and respect them. One day I will get a clue from a special horse and I will ride. I know exactly what to do; I care for horses.
My first horse was food aggressive, soooo I would just herd her out of the stall, put her food out, and let her back in. Soon she did it on her own. Worked for us-she was a Very smart girl. We grew up together..🐴🚂
Brilliant job Mr. Rose. Well done.
I wish I had these videos when I was a teen. I could have been a better horseman earlier in life.
Thank you for being a real horseman. And this is awesome.
Thanks
Good job Jessica. You're horse is super smart she is a fast learner. Keep up the good work.
Hello how are you doing?
He is really kind. That's how people and horses learn. I learned a lot. Thank you 😊
Good lord, I grew up in the old days when we kids were physically beaten in school. Now, children beat their teachers. The guy here beat the horse literally into submission. He should work in a city school instead. I would highly recommend this, in fact.
I’m fascinated of your work Ryan
She should also get a cue when she is allowed to the food. Like you acted between 18'21" and 19'01" makes it very unclear to her when she can't and when she can : both times you where standing in the door, first time you chased her back and second time you kept the same posture but let her go.
Consistency and clear communication
Agree! She doesn't know when she can and can't eat. I use "OK" when they are allowed to go to the food.
@ 16:09 - whacks her in her rump & she was already walking away. WTF? This poor horse must be so confused. He is doing damage rather than helping. Wouldn't let him near a horse of mine.
I agree Inge. His whole training approach is passive aggressive. He is not consistent or on time when adding/ releasing pressure. No wonder the horse is upset & confused.
@@mdee860 I wouldn't say she was already walking away at 16:09. She was showing aggression as she was backing up to move. There's a difference in being respectful and moving and showing aggression. Also, maybe he didn't realize at the moment. It's easier to judge while watching a video then to actually be there. Were you the person standing right behind a kicker? No. Anyway.
I agree with the cue word. That could've made things easier.
Best part of this is while he does pop the horse once or twice, he doesn't go whole hog. Just enough to get the horse to stop the behavior and pay attention without any hurt.
I lost count of strikes on the horse after ten times.
@@emsnewssupkis6453 you must have watched the video 3 times cause he only tapper her 3 times with weak ass shots 🤣
@@salut438 Try counting.
I LOVE this!!!! 💕 Just fantastic! What a way with horses.
I really like that you're teaching using horse behavior cues to get that "Aha ok he is high horse I have to be respectful of space" and not using any words, and also teaching about inadvertent reinforcement of bad behavior.
The "buck you" gesture is always fun--until one kicks a rock into your face. haha Great video. Cheers!
This whole training experience was awesome to watch.
Wonderful teacher. Both human and horse learn the lesson. It's beautiful! Success is fostered with both.
Ryan should have his own TV show. He deserves every cent of ad revenue he gets on this channel. Total pro.
Jessica is NOT confident enough in her space to own it., I do think a que word for the horse to know..ok I’m allowed to eat could have been implemented. The horse did AMAZING... Jess didn’t seem as excited for the horses progression.. but I also feel like as dogs and kids... boundaries are ALWAYS good to have as they know when to expect to be corrected. Great Job Millo...
Horses can sense your feelings. That's how they know if you are hesitant. Hesitancy means weakness in the horse's world
Excellent video.. super helpful in so many ways. THANK YOU!!!!
Our mare is very aggressive with other horses when it comes to feeding. She’s biting and ripping to the flesh on our other mare. So many bite marks and scars. I’ll be implementing these
Don't have a horse or ride but love animals and really enjoyed watching this video with this guy trainer. A great watch.
When I was a brand new Equestrian I also had confidence issues. To this day I still work on my confidence and am always learning how powerful it is when you're in the same space as a horse! I have to stop looking at horses like dogs! And understand them for what they are, a horse!
I'm no equestrian expert, but I can see that you're as talented at working with humans as you are with horses. I've picked up *mad skills reading human beings* from your videos 😃 Alas, I'm not wealthy enough to develop a relationship with a horse, but opportunity arises, I'll be ready.
I'm here from 'think like a horse'. It's my first watch ...this is a Great recommendation. 👍
I've subscribed. 😁
This was well done. I have one right now doing this. Thanks for sharing. This is helpful.
Calm assertive behavior is what is needed for animals to understand boundaries and leadership. Be it a horse or dog, respect and understanding rules and boundaries is critical for all training. Inconsistent behavior leads to insecurity , which causes fight or flight.
What about a bear
I think what could really help her be more assertive, is to see herself on tape and see truly how she appears in her physical motion. Is the having a bit of a girlish, careful, hip-dip to the side stance, or is she moving strong, shoulders square, chin up etc. I think to practise on that appearance will really help her improve on her body language :)
Great save! Rescued the owner and stable hands PLUS the horse.
Gut zu sehen, wie gut für alle und schnell sich so etwas lösen lässt. Allerdings ist es auch schlimm zu erkennen, wie wenig Menschen, die sich Pferde zulegen, verstehen mit ihnen umzugehen. Ich bin sehr dankbar, dass es Menschen wie Dich Ryan gibt, danke dir so viel🙏💕
Buck you! That was so funny 😂
Spare the rod spoil the child apparently the same applies to horses lol 😂 great training she learned ✅
That's so cool. I don't know anything about horses but I stumbled apon this and watched the whole thing.
This is brilliant..im starting to practice at feed time tonight. Thanks!!!
Confidence is a bliss with horses
And not confident is a recipe for disaster - as a general observation Jessica nothing personal. It you were one of my kids I woudn't let you near this horse to learn on.
Always interesting to see how we females have to be really conscience of having to change our normal stance to present big and strong. Shoulders BACK, CHEST OUT, and standing TALL are not how we normally go thru life. But we can ♥️👍♥️
Thank you!
Love you work mate!

This is so cool 😎 42 and never been on a horse but id like to one day. Don't even know how or where to get started but this is all very fascinating. thanks for sharing the videos
he missed adding a queue word for her to let her know that it's ok to come eat at the end. He left her questioning
I understand what you mean, but I disagree. The whole training was about claiming space. The horse got it. When the human leaves, the horse can come to eat. He kept standing there, so she had to wait in her corner.
Later on, you could add a keyword for the horse to come and eat, but this early into the training it would be too confusing. At least that's my opinion ^^
@@martinap6728 As you know, horses always use queue words with each other. They are usually Russian for some reason.
When there is no longer a human present that space is available to her.
@@martinap6728 I agree with you on all counts.
Body language over cue words.
That is awesome that you can teach her that so fast😯
Great video. You do a commendable job teaching the young lady what is needed, on her part, in order to maintain respectful space from a young horse who, by nature, will be a bit unpredictable. Unfortunately so many animals who share their lives with humans are not provided the appropriate behaviors in order to live safe and satisfying lives. Your techniques here demonstrated your understanding and ability to assess, and successfully address what was soon to become a dangerous situation. I just hit the subscribe button and will look forward to viewing more of your vids. Thanks!
This one is awesome Ryan, thanks for sharing.
It took courage for Jessica to ask for help and be willing to learn. Her mare is a bully who is taking advantage of her good nature and inexperience. I wish them both the best and hope they make a good team for many years. ☀️
I don't think the horse is a bully...she is 2 and still learning boundaries, completely normal. It is important for anyone that comes in contact with a 2 year old horse to be consistent and firm.
Agree with all the best to Jessica - but don't consider from here the filly is a bully - my take on her is she is young a classic flight responder, impressionable and needs experienced guidance.

I can walk out in the middle of my horses surrounded by feed and nobody moves a muscle until I'm gone. Knowing you don't tolerate foolery can save your life!! Numerous times my mare has been able to be a buffer between me and an escape stallion to be able to lead him back home. She never once squealed, kicked, or faltered in any way. I'm boss mare and I mean it. There is a zero tolerance for fighting when I'm around. They know this. They will always know this and I know I am always safe in their company.
So you’re a mare? What
@@fer572 😂 it's a saying in the horse community
You sound a little mean, you dont have to whip a horse to tell them you are the boss, you just have to make them move. They have to go where you want them to go, if they dont move, you make them move. Once they understand and do what you want, they get to stop moving and relax. Horses in the wild only move if they have to, (kinda lazy) but it saves energy in case they have to flee from a predator. THATS how you make yourself "lead mare".
@@cardinalfox4551 well guess what hunny? you have to hit a horse to make em move. Obviously not whipping the life out of them.
And tbh you sound a little dumb.
@@carietrinityfamilyfarm8183 dont call me hunny, and no you DONT have to whip them to make them move. You wave the whip around BEHIND them. A whip is supposed to be used as an extended arm/hand, you dont smack a horses butt with your hand either if you forgot the whip.
Tbh you sound like your talking to a little kid.
This is what I couldn't deal with. I lacked experience really. I worked at a horse barn and one time my energy was off and the mini almost kicked me. After that I was nervous and had a much harder time cleaning their stalls. Might have tried if the pay was good and the work wasn't back breaking oh or if I didn't have to wake up at five in the morning haha. Your energy is super important and it also helps if you aren't locked in a stall with an animal that could seriously fuck you up if it kicks you.
I dont know much about horses but i finde them very fascinating .
I love this idea as I've had to feed quite a few foo aggressive horses as a groom. The only problem that I might see is getting the horse to back up/"fear" the sound of grain as horses are often escaping an we use grain to bring them in.
One way to prevent this is not using grain to catch horses. It teaches them terrible habits.
One of the horses where i rideis a little good aggressive. So what they did is they put like a clicker thing in his stall and when it's feeding time the horse had been trained to go to the back of his stall and when we push the clicker he goes to the food and starts eating
I love that idea! ❤
Yes, clicker training works for lots of animals. Good idea.
@@johanna8206 really? How bout showing your horse you are high horse and they won’t dare test you. On occasion they do, correction should be swift. How does a clicker stop him if you walk up, or another horse..he’s not aggressive?
@@keelsmac01 Yes, that's one way of approaching aggression, however, it has a lot of shortcomings and potential fall-out. The truth is that most, if not all, aggression is rooted in fear. Sometimes you can suppress a behavior through punishment (though worsening the aggression is also very likely), but the emotion behind the behavior remains, and will often crop up in a number of different ways like creating new behavioral issues, creating an animal that is fine around you but not others, or that may suddenly aggress out of the blue (unreliable/unpredictable aggression is especially dangerous), etc.
I had a *major* change in opinion regarding this after working with dogs with severe aggression and other major behavioral issues and witnessing the differences in outcomes between the two different approaches.
For instance, some behaviors we label as aggression are actually warning signals the animal gives in an attempt to *avoid* aggression (like a horse pinning their ears, swinging their head around to threaten a bite, or swinging their haunches towards us, or like a dog growling). Punishing the warning signal often results in the animal skipping the warning in the future and going straight to the bite/kick. This is why punishment often *increases* aggression. The only way to correctly punish the bad behavior is to allow it to happen first, which is kind of insanity. You'd have to wait for the horse to actually bite, or charge you down, and then punish immediatly. Instead, we can use a proactive approach and use the warning signals (or previous aggression) as information on what situations trigger the unwanted behavior, then structure training sessions to change the horse's emotional reactions to those situations (aka counter-conditioning), and teach them what you *want* them to do instead. The perfect example of this is the person who trained the horse to go to the back of the stall and wait for food- that's called a replacement behavior, and you can often eliminate most problem behaviors by teaching a replacement behavior that's incompatible with the unwanted behavior (i.e., the horse can't bite you from the back of the stall).
So, to answer your question, I would 1) find out what triggers the behavior 2) manage the animal so they can't practice that behavior 3) construct a counter-conditioning plan and come up with an appropriate incompatible replacement behavior, and incorporate this into their daily routine. This is the basic premise behind behavioral modification training, and it's extremely effective, with the added bonus of not creating unwanted or secondary behavioral problems.

Amazing video! Learned so much. Thank you
Awesome my space!
Good video ! I had no idea Horses could have food aggression ! I certainly wouldn't want to be bitten Yikes!!
Hello how are you doing?
All horses love to fight for food. This is why you have to be the winner in each battle. Once dominance is found, they surrender and cooperate.
I really like Ryan! His demeanor and instruction is really great. Wherever he lives it sure is pretty country!
Thanks, I agree
@@ryanrosehorsemanship And you're gorgeous too.....just saying x
That's what I'm saying while watching this he's a good looking man. He doesn't sound southern I'm from Jersey he sounds like he's from PA /NJ maybe CA
Horse right off the bat during her interview gets in her ear and says "oh you talking about me.....wait till those cameras are gone...."
the barn i work at had a horse with food aggression. they taught him to face the back corner and once they got out he could turn around on command. the word is i think “okay” or “yes”! they’ve been doing it for years now and it has always worked !
Excellent video! People do not understand that you must claim you space with horses. They think they can mother the horses, treat the horse like a pet. These are 1000 pound animals. You have to have them respect you first and then you can brush and pet and baby them. This is not mean. This is how horses act in nature. This protects you and the horse.
Disagree. Teaching them to kick only ramps up the risk and the disrespect.
John Fletcher, please let me know how claiming your space teaches a horse to kick? I find your response hard to understand. I've had horses for over 30 years and I have never been bitten or kicked,
@@1suitcasesal I've had them for 67 and still run half a dozern or so for stock work and touch wood have never given them chance or reason to kick or bite me. Hard to tell on a vid but there is a difference between giving a bump and administering a wack.. From here old mate Ryan seemed to me to be doing the latter??
Agree with John Fletcher, Janet! You do need to own your space - it's simple & can be accomplished without ever touching (hitting in R. Rose's example) a horse or acting aggressively. Has to be consistent, firm, but kind. In no way does hitting a horse teach them manners or respect. It teaches fear & hatred.
I would love it if you checked out my channel: msg polo eventing
Girl: "She's also been showing some aggressiveness".
Horse: "Cuddles & plays innocent".
Thank you for doing this! I’m trying to learn what to do, as a future horse trainer.
really interesting and enjoyable to watch. Very good clip well done
Ryan I back in the day had a boarding facility of 25 stalls. Now what I am going to discuss is a horse that came to my facility and at feed time would turn a 360 ° circle and kick at each wall. This horse came from a rat infestation training facility. The rats would bit the horses hocks at feed time. This all took place the very 1st day at my place. So I took the horse out and looked at all his hocks. They all had open wounds from being rat bitten. He never got over that fear of being bitten by rats. I asked the owner to take his horse somewhere else. I told him he should find pasture boarding for him by himself. I thought that would go away if the horse was by itself. The owner took my advise. I never kept track to see if it worked. The poor horse was doing the only thing he could to scare the rats out of his stall. Thought I would share this.
That’s just horrible.
