I really appreciate how you film your work with the horses, and then narrate the footage, rather than being focused on the camera when you're in the pin.
I really love how patient you are and how the horse started to trust you. Animal abuse is very wrong, we don’t deserve animals but here we are whipping a horse for nothing. Thank yo7 for showing kindness and respect to this poor soldier!
Thank You, I have a really big heart for the rescue horses and helping them to be able to trust and have confidence again mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
Thank you for being kind and patient with him or her. There is too much abuse in this World with any animal. Blessings to you and your family and animals. We need more humans like you!!!
Marion
Thank You So Much, mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
So lovely that he still wanted to please you and trust you :-) Love your patience with him. Really goes to show to be a good horse person, one needs a good temperament!
That mare is so nice and trusting today, she has really turned out to be a great horse ;)
bless the guys heart working w this pretty baby, for being patient and nurturing this horses fears
+Roshanda Walton Thank you so much ;)
Hey anytime!! How's she/he doing what's the horses name?
Awwwwww poor guy! He obviously wants to trust you. He came around nicely from the few minutes in this video. He’s gonna do great big things.
What a beautiful horse! I can't understand why people can abuse those gentle creatures.
+Josie Ethier I don't understand it either,
+Mike Hughes People need to educate themselves. Every "issues" the horses can have has a solution to fix it, mostly time, patience and consistency. Violence is never the answer. Thanks for making videos to show people that no horses or problems are too bad to fix. We need more horsemen like you.
+Josie Ethier Thank you, with people who do abuse horses, there has to be something inside of them saying " This is Wrong ", It has to feel wrong, since there that way with there horses I am sure they are that way in other parts of their lives
+Josie Ethier Thank you so much :)
This horses expression tells you everything. He wants to trust people. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up doing really well. Nice type too.
Good Morning, Yes he overcame his fears from the past and has confidence, trust and built a bond with the owner. He is doing really good today. mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
I have watched a few of your videos, it is just so sad that these beautiful horses were so badly abused that you have to do special work with them I love the Grey stallion, Glad you are there to help them.
Why do people have to abuse such beautiful creatures when all you need is some discipline and kindness to have a trustworthy horse. :(
Thank You So Much :)
That is a good question and the answer is probably they lack compassion and they are stupid
Such beautiful creatures. People can be so small.
Yes they are very beautiful. mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
This is one of the best videos I've seen with people working with abused horses. I didn't agree with leaving the lead rope on them for that little bit but it didn't seem it was like that for a long time so good on you for being much better than these other people on here. Very nice work with this horse. :)
Thank You Very Much :)
actually leaving the leadrope on is the best thing you can do in this situation. If the horse steps on it, it's still teaching him to yield to that pressure. I have a horse who doesn't hard tie (yet) and I have started off by, rather than tying him, leaving his rope on the ground. That way, if he decides to walk off while I'm grooming or tacking up etc, he is going to step on it and essentially correct himself but without pulling your arms off or hurting himself either.
E.M. Lumesound never though of it that way i mean yes if they step on it at a walk no problem. My concern is if they decide to take off and step on the rope going at a much faster speed. It may hurt them. But thank you for your information. I want to learn as much as i can about how peoplw handle their horses and such. And thank you for explaining in a pleasant way. Some people like to just blow up and eff and jeff. Lol. Thank again. :)
I know nothing about horses. Found this video on CZcams randomly. But man do I have a new respect for folks who work with abused animals. Super interesting. I have a lot of questions most which may sound dumb. But why don't you just hug the poor thing?
She was that afraid of people where it was even hard to get near her, but today she is doing great and no longer has those fears of people ;)
as soon as he started "licking" he was feeling better...good sign it is working! Great advice here...
Thank You
I hate people that abuse horses. I have 2 paints that came from bad situations. it's been a year and still working out the kinks. One was starved near death and the other beaten. He's finally starting to allow me to pet him. he was so fearful all the time. Couldn't get within 15' of him.
I really hate it to, I don't what is up with these people but I can't understand why they don't get this sick feeling saying this wrong to do to animals or people as far as that goes
@@Marcoeful Narcissistic people do this.
Mike you do great work. I wish you were coming through TN, around the Chattanooga area. Wish I could afford you for the afternoon! I have a new addition to my pasture. A 12 yr old gelding with a nipping /biting problem. I ride the boss mare, and have since 04, but she and I have always got along without much trouble. She shows off side stepping and prancing, and once she gets it out of her system, she is good to go. So I am befuddled as to why this gelding has my confidence down just because he nips. I don't know much about his background, but I'm definitely going to do the small circle exercise that you do and when /if he bites, I'll send him out in circles to work. I guess with age came more common sense (38) and paying our own doctor bills has got me erring on the side of caution! Our farrier is my husbands best friend, and he's supposed to help me "one day" but hell they're always busy. Have no round pen either, but I guess I could give it a try with the longer line. I'm going to keep watching your videos, take notes, study and eventually hope to be comfortable with Scout as I am with my mare Daisy. I could go on and on but if you were ever in my area, I'd love to come to your clinic. Thanks for all you do again. Jill in TN.

People who abuse large animals like this usually do it either because of ignorance, or because it gives them a sense of feeling strong and powerful. It can also give these insecure people an excuse to be mean and act ugly because the animal supposedly must be dominated to force it to obey commands. There should be strong state laws to protect all animals from these kinds of predators!
I agree with you, I think people who abuse and beat any animal should have the same thing done to them and face prison time
Mike Hughes Mike, I absolutely agree with you! Since every state differs in it's laws protecting it's animals, I think there should be federal laws with significant punishments for all animal abuse. It's the right of everything with a pulse to have protection from people who harm them!
Also, Mike, you are such a kind and gentle man with these horses. You also prove that the more calm you are with a horse, the more calm the horse will be. Is it true that this technique you use was originally developed by Native Americans "back in the day"?
Unfortunately horses are not companion animals. They are considered livestock so you could beat a horse to death and really only face about 6 months jail time at the most. Not to mention there are many common practices that should be considered abuse but are taught and respected.
Omg I watch your videos. You are amazing
thank you so much :)
What a pretty boy and he's trying so hard, you both are. :)
+Lilly Dragon He is a really good boy, Just Scared but he came around and is not like that any more
I enjoyed watching your training and I'm needing training for my mare she doesn't like me to touch her and very sensitive
e-mail me at info@crib-free.com and we can talk more about your mare :)
He so wants to trust .
How can people abuse theses animals ??? They do it from arrogance and ignorance and a complete absence of love .
Hope his new owners realise the mutual respect that is required to have the best and most rewarding relationship with your horse .
People suck! How can anyone abuse such a beautiful animal!
I agree with you and then it takes so long to teach them to trust again and not everybody is going to hurt them
The guy sent the horse to you so it won't be so afraid of him? What happens when you give it back and it's still scared of him because it only learned to trust you? Why don't you train the person with the horse? Wouldn't that be the best way?
This is only a short video, the owner was there during the time of the training and learned all the steps that it takes to work with her horse. Today the horse is doing great :)
Why don't you use rope halters for horses like this one? I think it would be much easier training with that :)
That was the only haler she had at the time :)

where are you? I'm wondering because my mare was abused and i got her over her fear of men, hats and saddles but im not sure how to go about mounting. Any tips? (every person that has mounted her has been bucked off)
I am in California, but I have plenty of video's here on youtube that can help you :)
Does she have a horsey friend you ride with? I'd work her first lunging in round pen, using verbal signals as well as hand signals. Reason is, when I say whoa, my horses know that's to stop. When I say stand, they know that means to be still. I ponied our horses for long rides fully saddled for a couple months before mounting myself. After a short ride, I had a friend ride at a walk with me. I clucked, squeezed a little in the legs, then said, walk, - that's it. They know to move forward. So, if your using the saddle successfully and she isn't trying to get rid of it, first couple of rides out, use a friend of hers to be right there. It's comforting for the horses too. First time one of my big mares threw me, I yelled whoa, then stand, and she did. Atleast I wasn't left to walk back a mile to the ranch. Same with every horse I trained.
I just bought a beautiful 3 yr old paso fino filly at an auction. She is broke to ride but wont let me touch her anywhere on her body. She stands there and shakes and gets really angry if i persist in touching her body. I can comb out her long mane though and rub her forehead. I am trying to figure her out. Dont know if shes been abused to make her like this or just never handled enough. I have been trying to rub her with just my hand but the more i do it, the more she gets aggressive and i dont want to take a chance of her attacking me. She is so nervous and spooky that she jumps when there is a sudden loud noise or a sudden movement. Ive only approached her in her stall, not outside. i cant catch her by just walking up to her but she will come to me when i have her feed dish. i have to go slowly when i reach out to attach the leadrope to her halter or she will bolt away angry, bucking and kicking. I want to work with her more but im not sure how much i can do with her before she actually attacks me. What can i do to help her?
How long would you work with a horse like this Hands On before giving them a break from human contact? or do you not give them a break and work with them for as many hours as your schedule allows?
+2Lucid I would work a horse like this for about an hour a day, 5 days a week, It shouldn't take to long for this horse to over come there fears and the abuse from the past. Then after the horse has over come his fears then it would be moving forward in the horses training
I have a abused paint mare named Indy that I saved.I was wondering if u have any advice to place a bit in Indy's mouth.I am a big fan thank u.
+Jacob Adams You are very welcome, go to my video on youtube, Haltering and Bridling the Head shy Horse, That should help you a lot, Also keep an eye open for my new project coming out with in a week, I will have a premier of it as video on youtube.
I will I promise.Thanks again for helping me.
why don't you take the leadrope off when you lunge?
The Idea was not for her to take off like that, the round pen for her was just a controlled place to work with her at.
Iv'e vever seen such rubbish in my life, why did you let that horse go, if you had a longer rope on it with knots every three feet no way would it slide through your hands, you gave that horse no warning that you were going to the other side, can you not handle a horse without a round pen ?
I am sorry, I don't remember you being there or working with this horse, At any rate the horse has really come around and is doing great today. Next time let me know your around and we can talk :)
hi mike do you know if the owner of this mare want to sale her?
I have not seen her in a while, but the next time I do I will let you know :)
could you recommend an area that you would take your own horse to if you had to LOL to have work done I have a draft cross she needs someone with a gentle and and right now I'm not physically able but working on it

Where is this in Auburn
I live right below Auburn in Penryn
So did you get on him eventually or what?
I just did the ground work until he got really comfortable with people on the ground
the rope is to short sir
The lead rope was fine. Like i said in the video she had been abused. Today she has turned out to be a beautiful great riding horse
@@Marcoeful good job sir, congrt, when the lead rope is a little bit longer you have much more power to hold here, i train much more then 100 horses the last 10 years, but good job sir , she is a amzing good colored horse , i like paint s and pinto s the most, greets from Europe sir
Poor horse good that he "escaped"from his hands
Me, really. Lets take a long look at this. In her past by her prior owners she was abused and then she was rescued by her new owners. She was very scared of people from her past abuse. I was there helping her over come her past and help have confidence and trust in people again. When we work with rescue sometimes yes the horse will try to get away from us from their past memories and sure what is going to happen even though we are not going to hurt them. It obvious that you did not watch the video and when we assume things we look really bad. So next time watch the video and try to understand what is going on before you comment. mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
many who abuse and neglect are sociopaths and can't relate that the poor condition of the horse has anything to do with them. So, you can fine them, put them in jail, beat the hell out of them and it'll do no good. They will go right back to doing the same thing given the chance.
+jrhalli2 Then they need to keep going back to jail and getting finned until it sinks in to them not to beat on animals or anything thing else,
+Mike Hughes I agree...but...ideally there needs to be a way to prevent these people from ever acquiring horses again.
These days, people tend to take it out on horses just because they don't have girlfriends. Those kinds of people should not have animals.
I really don't like how much you rush things with horses. I know you may be under a time constraint or whatever. I wouldn't say you're being super harsh or anything but you seem like you put WAY too much pressure on from the very start.
We are watching a 3 minute video here when I was there for a few hours, When I approached her right side is when she bolted off. There was not to much pressure to start off with and by touching her on the right side of her is not to much pressure. I will say today she is a great horse who has learned to trust again. Working with abused horses is tough and if you would like to come around with me for a day while I work with abused horses you are more then welcome to and your point of view will probably change
That's great! I know that I can't really say that from just watching a short video. You're doing good work
Thank You :)
Mike Hughes Sorry for being quite rude previously. Where is your farm located? I highly respect that you work with these abused horses, because most people would not touch them with a 10 foot pole.
I live in Auburn California :)
roundpenning is not always the solution for everything. a good horseman would take off that stupid halter and handle her not like that, dont you see that horse is confused? the way youre walking up to her tells me a lot about your work. theres no bodylanguage at all. dont take that personal but i wont watch your videos anymore cause i want to learn how to be good to horses, how to understand them and not how to confuse them.
And you were not there, If you even watched the video you would of seen I slowly approached the horses side and that when she took off and I had to let go of the lead line, but then again why don't you explain to us what you know.
+Mike Hughes it was 100 percent pretictable that she will take off, you keep giving pressure on her, especially at an abused horse you should give release and have a good timing and not pulling on that halter and let the horse figure it out. if you wont give release the horse will try to get release on its own, thats why she was taking off, to have rest of pressure.
petting a horse is also pressure
Next time your out at the facility you can show me how you do it
do you seriously think its wrong what im saying? or ehy are you not giving an answer?
