What’s even more funny is that I don’t take offense to anything that you say about women because I agree with you and I’ve been in about 99.9% of the situations you talk about and acting the exact same way until I learned different from you lol ... it’s funny to me lol 😂
I bet you were the coolest uncle ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awww man if I coulda been there as 14 years old that would be the best to get mentored by THE UNCLE Rick!!!!!!
I used to get offended by some of your comments when I first found you Rick. But now I don't. Once I figured out what you were about I realized in some ways I'm a bit like you. I hate stupid too. I stuck around cuz I like what you have to say about horses. And I'm glad I did. In some ways I'm working on not taking things too personal anymore. Takes too much effort to fuss about being offended over something that you don't need to own.
Elfie In Angel City --wow, what a lovely point to say about yourself that will help you in so many areas of your life, hang in and listen, finding nuggets based on observation and letting your evaluation be based upon that instead of staying offended. Good for you for being wise and sharing what you learned!💐💐💐
Me too, I listen while working when I get tired of listening to streaming AM radio or pod-casts. I try to pick out the windy ones btw. I like the wind.
Rick - you don't even realize that we had a bonus couple of minutes of Smokey mousing while you were winding down your story. Love that kitty!! Thanks for the great story!
I love your horsey stories and I love your boys hanging out chilling and grazing. It’s so peaceful to watch them while you’re so animated in your story telling. I have to smile. And hello to mokie too
Thanks for always being the highlight of my day my three horsey faves 😀. HILARIOUS tale and great setting. Question to (mean ole) Dad....why have you stopped slurpin your coffee IGNORE the haters we love you just the way you are - just grateful for the laughs and the learning of true horsemanship. Buddy...Mr T...Dad & Mokie....you are THE BEST 💙 💙 💙 💙
I have a story similar to the one in this video. I was about 12 years old and we were in Denmark on an island somewhere and there trail barns all over the place. So my brother, his friend, our cousin, a childhood friend of mine and myself decided we all wanted to go for a ride. This was a fairly large group of horses going out, and I remember, when signing up with which horses everyone was getting, my DAD was telling everyone how great a rider I am and they can give me a big horse that's not a beginner horse. I think it was about 10 horses in this group. My brother and friend were on norwegian fjords, I was on a big bay thoroughbred my cousin on a small black pony. When we headed out, I was fairly at the front as third in line. The woman in front of me was having trouble controlling her horse which made me a little nervous, but no big deal until the leader said "And now we'll gallop!" I was expecting a canter as i was not expecting a tour group to subject inexperienced riders to a full, flat out gallop. Boy was I surprised when all the horses bolted in unison, the second horse in line ended up in a field bucking, my thoroughbred sped past the leader and and ran full stop. I had to let it run itself out and get tired before anyone could catch up to me. That's when I lost my confidence. So when we left, i was on a big bay horse, and when i came back, I was on a little black pony. Thanks Dad!!!
I was married to my ex for more than 10 years. At first we didn't have much to do with each other. Now years later we are friends, His new wife doesn't like me much....lol. I enjoy the stories Rick and they are usually good for a laugh and there is nothing bad about that. Don't pay any attention to the trolls. They are like barn witches without a barn.
I have to say I acted like a know it all expert on a trail ride in New Zealand. I gave my horse a cue to canter( in truth, I'm sure I gave him too much leg or kicked him) and the big guy responded by bucking my ass off! Man I have never been launched so far skyward from a horse in my life. Served me right. Landed on my feet though.
Omg it gets better!! Thanks for story omg my poor coffee needs to be refilled. Don't let downers affect you and your stories. This and the other channel is the best out there!!
Rick I was falling out of my chair laughing with you telling these horsey stories.The more you laugh the harder I laughed.you have a sense of humor like me .People say I have a weird sense of humor,guess they have never heard your stories.I think you are hilarious.l loved my horses as much as you do yours.Would love to be able to meet you in person.I first heard of you through I’m a survivor,with Lester and Jamie.
Thanks Rick. I was just walking my dog and it was windy and ice like rain raining in my face, ofc i didn't have a hat and my hair was still wet from shower and my first thought was ''you should have a helmet on'' with that barnwitch voice of yours.
Thank you, Rick 🥰 I'm just enjoying some of your older videos again. I really love these types of videos where you are out in the pasture with your horses, drinking your coffee, and telling a story or just rambling while your boys eat their breakfast ❤ I think you need one of Lester and Jami's puppies. It would be amazing to watch you bring up a puppy 💋 Have a wonderful day, Rick 🥰🥰
Hey Rick, Great story. Sounds like the kids had fun. People like that are hard to be around, instead of being grateful to you, she has to tell you how great she is. wow, nice of you to take the kids out.
I love my Aussie peeps, actually most other countries have nice people that watch me, American woman in horses just seem to nasty, however the UK people riding on the road and doing their fox hunt are pretty bad too.
Two more poor horses had to be put down at a road traffic accident 2 days ago DUMMY IGNORANT HUMANS! Glad this UK dummy met Dad and his gorgeous boys xxxx
Yes but Australia has the whole thoroughbred racing crowd unfortunately. Very closed minded, stuborn, rich old men and very bit and stall happy. All about money.
I loved this story. Poor horsey, having so much problems. Your horses are spoiled rotten, which is the correct way to keep them. A relaxed horse is a sign of relaxed treatment.
YES, please do the Tanner story!!! I love the bouncing screaming!! Had me laughing so hard. And when I was a kid (9 or 10), I was that person on a runaway horse. My cousin rode his mini bike up behind the horse I was on.. and we were off.. All I could think of was those cartoons where the horse runs into the tiny opening in the barn doors, and the person's legs keep them from going in.. hang there for a second before falling. I didn't wanna be that person LOL. Not sure how I stayed on.. but I imagine I had that bouncing scream at that age.. lol too funny.
Hysterical!! And haters will hate no matter what you do, because hate is in them. But don't let them hold you and everyone else hostage by withholding your stories!!! Thanks!
I just started watching your stories and when you laugh I can’t help but laugh myself.. I’m an okay rider but I’m an idiot sometimes 🤣.. do I blame the horse.. no.. I always apologize while getting on them and say yup you got stuck with the crazy human 😂.
Funny. I took my horse freedom to the beach the other day and I had no problems at all. My horse did great but it was some type of fund raiser so there was about 30 other horses at the beach so I went and video tapped it and an horse "expert" was having problems getting her horse through a narrow fenced area. It was like a bridge with a fence on both sides so she's the 3rd horse in front of me. My cousin was the 2nd horse and I was behind her and the 1st horse stopped and started backing up and spooking so my cousin yells "Matt turn around" because that horse was kicking and bucking right up to her horse and I turned freedom around fast in the tight area and let the horse expert run off past me. I was laughing so hard. I caught it all on camera and uploaded it to my channel. That girls horse spooked 2 times on my video HAHAHA. It was funny then the lady tells me "you need to get out of the way faster when you hear me screaming. I was like are you kidding me? Lol
Carol V it took about 20 minutes from where I live. I live right next to the beach. About 2 minutes away or walking distance but the beach they allow horses at is a little further away. About 20min
San Luis Obispo!! My sister lives there! I live in Santa Cruz. You are hilarious! My favorite parts of your videos are when you talk to the horses in your horsey voice and when you crack up laughing🤣😂🤣😂
Four of my favorite boys and a great story to start off my day. ❤️ let the haters hate, their comments say more about them then they do about poor Momma Gore.
Dang it Rick, I was truly looking forward to the ex-girlfriend on Tanner story. You mentioned it at last storytime. Really disappointed.😢 Is it ok to hate on the haters? 😠😤😡
Hahaha same sort of thing happened to me once only the guy gave me the horse because he saw me ride once before. I had ridden a bit and said as much. So they gave me a little buckskin, cute little thing, probably around 13 hands. I went in the canter group as I had played around with the pony before the trail started and we got along well. My friend stayed in the trot group as she didn't like her horse's canter but she was miss expert. I was confused and only realised she stayed when we were half way down the beach. Anyway the riders in front of me took off, flat chap, fast canter. My pour pony has to gallop to keep up. I had never galloped before but I knew that they would eventually stop. I just had to hold on til then. I had the reins but the pony had been tugged on a lot before so ignored my attempt to slow down. The other riders did stop and so did he. I said to the bloke running the ride that I thought he over estimated my ability. "Nah you are still on" was his reply then off we went again. I enjoyed the second gallop more after learning how to ride it. I should mention here that I am very nearly blind so can't learn by watching other riders.
lol...another good crazy horse story :-) ...i clocked Smokey making an appearance at approx 19.45 time on the video....looked like he'd been having some fun lol
Arianna McGurn the expert horse lady saw the video and had a hissy fit that she also does videos and she is far better at it and Rick just exaggerated how loud she was yelling and screaming she was actually giving commands to the horse she wasn't in fear or panic....lmao
Very few marriages these days are happily ever after...many don't divorce becuz they fear change. You were smart to recognize it was over and moved on....Surprised you didn't go for round 2 :) BTW Did your nephews ever go riding with you again?
I'd like to hear the story of Mr. T tossing one of your other girlfriends. The haters sound like a bunch of barn witches who think they're perfect, and they can go suck eggs. They shouldn't ruin the good stories for the rest of us. Was the horse rental stable in Half Moon Bay? I know they do rentals.
lol this story is hilarious! omgosh the 'know alls' are so funny in a bad way. haha. thanks Rick for sharing. I couldn't stop laughing. hahahaha. on serious note.... I don't blame the horse for wanting to get back to the barn to get away from crazy woman. surely that is a clue to the woman that it causes more problem for herself for lying about her experience.
Thanks Rick for another fabulous horse story. I was laughing all through it. You set me up for a great day. Those two beautiful guys behind you are looking GRRRRREAT !!!! Smokey too. I am a 70 year old woman who can't ride anymore, some days can barely walk, but I just love reliving the "good old days" with your horses, and your horse stories. As for the haters, well, there's a saying that I won't say but it fits them. F them if they can't take a joke. LOL Keep up the good work. As for the haters, the wanna be cowboys or girls, they need to open their minds a little and think about the horses instead of themselves for a change. Well, some of them have opened their minds so much that their brains fell out, but that's the way of the know-it-alls. Have a great Texas day. Blessings.
I've worked at a Dude Ranch for most of my teenage years. The amount of people who said they had experience riding but couldn't get the trail horses to leave the yard was insane... We used to place bets when they'd come in about whether they could get 100 feet out of the yard XD.
Love it, Rick. Right on. Miss know it all surely blamed the horse & the check in gal was right in rolling her eyes. Lol. The landscape told me your in CA. My husband is from TX. We both enjoy your work, stories & teachings.
Hey Rick, just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge of horses. My two boys came from a stupid barn witch with a drinking problem who was nasty as hell. I have followed your expert advice from the rounded corners in the fence and never locking them up in a stall to installing a "NO BARN WITCHES ALLOWED " sign at the front door of the barn. Keep up the good work!!! We love you😉
Gotta love the "How Many?" / "How often?" people. But I say, that rule of "end of ride if your horse brings you back to the barn" is GENIUS. X'D This kinda reminded me of something I've been wondering for a while: How many ways *are* there to make a horse move, from stand to walk or such? I learned to make them move via thrusting the hips forward so they feel the 'forward' movement, I did encounter the squeezing method too but just once. (Might be due to the different country tho as I am from Germany, but I am not sure.)
I worked at a barn years ago taking out trail rides. This story brought me back Lol... I was a kid at the time when I’d ride just about anything. My buddies and I would jump on bareback with just a halter and lead rope and go. I’ve heard all the stories and remember the ones that talked big! Hahaha! I knew every horses thing and sometimes put the big shots on the ones that would take them in the puddles and roll as soon as they figured out there was an idiot on their back or drag them under low branches when they were white knuckled on the reins! Lmao I was just a kid but I knew horses recognized injustice and ignorance. Not too many trail riding places anymore. Not a bad thing. Not the best life for some of them. Also a Liability I suppose. Anyway I had some good times and got a lot of satisfaction watching these horses figure these people out! Only takes one pull or an unnecessary kick and it was game on! Lol Anyway good video! Btw... on one of your videos you said horses don’t try and rub you on fences they instinctively follow fence lines. I agree they follow fence lines but they also will deliberately try and rub you on a fence or tree. I’ve seen it a million times... keep doing videos man , and thanks for not slurping your coffee on this one!
Been there. I was that crazy lady who held on, but I was and am a beginner and told them that. They took me up a steep hill straight onto gallops. The horse knew what it was doing. It had done that trail a thousand times before, so up and of he went. I just held on, somehow stayed calm, wrapped round his neck until he stopped. I truly thought if I let go I'd be trampled. Them they all appeared and said 'why didn't you let go?' So I told them they didn't tell me otherwise. I got back on and finished the ride, even moving to close to and battering my knee off a tree in the process. It hurt like hell for a week or so. To sum it up, I learned from my mistakes lol.. Now, watching Ricks videos, I'm learning even more. It's a slow process but a rewarding one
First time I saved her
This time I'm saving the horse.
That's funny.
What’s even more funny is that I don’t take offense to anything that you say about women because I agree with you and I’ve been in about 99.9% of the situations you talk about and acting the exact same way until I learned different from you lol ... it’s funny to me lol 😂
🙌🙌🙌🙌 preach it sister! Lol
I bet you were the coolest uncle ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awww man if I coulda been there as 14 years old that would be the best to get mentored by THE UNCLE Rick!!!!!!

So many people are resistant to the simple truth: a horse is not a video game, a drone, a sportscar or an executive toy.
Who comes back just to listen again...and laugh again? I sure as hell do..LOL
Me too, I listen while working when I get tired of listening to streaming AM radio or pod-casts.
I try to pick out the windy ones btw. I like the wind.
I love your stories...especially when you start laughing it’s contagious 😂😂
I swear Rick has the best laugh on CZcams!
Rick - you don't even realize that we had a bonus couple of minutes of Smokey mousing while you were winding down your story. Love that kitty!! Thanks for the great story!
lol was he photo bombing me..
Great storytelling!
I bet your neighbors think you have completely lost it, always in the field talking to yourself Hahahhaha , and those karate kid moves! 🤪
Becky Sue, thanks couldn't remember where I saw those moves before, Lol
tahoedewey... yes I loved that movie when I was a kid :)
Goodmorning. What a world to get up to....sunrise, coffee, and beautiful horses.
Want to hear about Mr.T and the ex! Always enjoyed the crazy horse series and those know-it-all totally deserves what happens to them!
I love your horsey stories and I love your boys hanging out chilling and grazing. It’s so peaceful to watch them while you’re so animated in your story telling. I have to smile. And hello to mokie too
Glad you like them!
You could tell when buddy saw the sun come up. He popped his head up and then went back to grazing. Hi little Mokey!
Dont let them ruin this for you and your loyal viewers I love your stories keep on goin we love you for you hope you and the boys have a good day💖💖
Thanks for always being the highlight of my day my three horsey faves 😀. HILARIOUS tale and great setting. Question to (mean ole) Dad....why have you stopped slurpin your coffee IGNORE the haters we love you just the way you are - just grateful for the laughs and the learning of true horsemanship.

Good morning, Rick. I think the haters hate because it makes them feel better about themselves.
You know it's gonna be an amazing story when Rick can't stop laughing!
Amanda Larsen - Right? He starts laughing then I get started and can’t hear what he’s sayin’, have to rewind and do it again.
Omg it gets better!! Thanks for story omg my poor coffee needs to be refilled. Don't let downers affect you and your stories. This and the other channel is the best out there!!
That was a great way to start my day. Thank You Rick....
Love these stories and your humor! I shared the ex-wife story with my husband and we had a good laugh 😂
SOMEBODY IS GOING TO REPORT YOU CAUSE YOU ARE JUST HAVING TOO MUCH DAMN FUN.
Always get so excited when you upload crazy horse stories lmao could listen to you tell stories all day, rick
Wish I could go riding with Uncle Rick - sounds great fun! Also Mokie was adorable in the background.
Rick I was falling out of my chair laughing with you telling these horsey stories.The more you laugh the harder I laughed.you have a sense of humor like me .People say I have a weird sense of humor,guess they have never heard your stories.I think you are hilarious.l loved my horses as much as you do yours.Would love to be able to meet you in person.I first heard of you through I’m a survivor,with Lester and Jamie.
Thanks Rick. I was just walking my dog and it was windy and ice like rain raining in my face, ofc i didn't have a hat and my hair was still wet from shower and my first thought was ''you should have a helmet on'' with that barnwitch voice of yours.
Wow, look at that horizon and all the branches through the trees. Beautiful!
Thanks Rick. Another great story packed with information.
Sweet boys, beautiful morning.🌞
"If your good you tell ppl ,If your great Ppl tell you "
Thank you, Rick 🥰
I'm just enjoying some of your older videos again. I really love these types of videos where you are out in the pasture with your horses, drinking your coffee, and telling a story or just rambling while your boys eat their breakfast ❤
I think you need one of Lester and Jami's puppies. It would be amazing to watch you bring up a puppy 💋
Have a wonderful day, Rick 🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing! You could make a story about clipping your toenails sound hilarious :-)
Lisa Zappolo and we would all watch 😂😂
Only if he doesn't show it! Human feets are gross!!!! 🤢
tyrroo it depends 😂
ROFLMAO Rick that was a great story, you laughing was infectious.
Look at that beautiful Texas sunrise!
Hey Rick, Great story. Sounds like the kids had fun.
People like that are hard to be around, instead of being grateful to you, she has to tell you how great she is. wow, nice of you to take the kids out.
These videos always make me laugh my ass off! 😂😂
What part of Maryland?
Rick your horse stories make every day better :)
Jagualar Agree - so funny and great learning
I LOVE your crazy horse stories! There can never be too many of 'em. I hope you do lots more! 🐎😂🤡
Love it when u get to laughing about stories you tell !
People are so rude and nasty. You and the ex wife shared a great memory together. Lol.
you're a great story teller, was laughing all the way! Please share more crazy horse stories!
Your laugh is contagious, thanks!. I'm missing my horse so bad. Had to give him away. Keep doing what you're doing
Aww, I'm sorry you had to give your horse away.
I'm picturing this in my head and it's funny as hell XD I love kind of stories.
Yay you mentioned Australia for the first time. I'm one of your Aussie subs.
I love my Aussie peeps, actually most other countries have nice people that watch me, American woman in horses just seem to nasty, however the UK people riding on the road and doing their fox hunt are pretty bad too.
I’m from Australia!! Hahahah this is acctually a classic 😂😂 soo funny 😁
Two more poor horses had to be put down at a road traffic accident 2 days ago DUMMY IGNORANT HUMANS! Glad this UK dummy met Dad and his gorgeous boys xxxx
Oh don't you worry Rick, we have our fair share of idiots here in Australia too lol
Yes but Australia has the whole thoroughbred racing crowd unfortunately. Very closed minded, stuborn, rich old men and very bit and stall happy. All about money.
I loved this story. Poor horsey, having so much problems. Your horses are spoiled rotten, which is the correct way to keep them. A relaxed horse is a sign of relaxed treatment.
I wish you were my uncle. Love these horsey stories!!! Please do the Tanner story
YES, please do the Tanner story!!! I love the bouncing screaming!! Had me laughing so hard. And when I was a kid (9 or 10), I was that person on a runaway horse.

Omg I can’t stop laughing! I’m so in love with you Rick 🤣❤️
Becky Sue I am so addicted to Dad and the boys they are brilliant 😀
Sure wish I had an Uncle Rick to take me shooting and riding!
Hysterical!! And haters will hate no matter what you do, because hate is in them. But don't let them hold you and everyone else hostage by withholding your stories!!! Thanks!
Kathleen or slurpin your coffee or jiggling the camera - your loyal dummies are just grateful 😀
amen Fiona!
I’d love to hear the story of mr. T and your ex because I enjoy these crazy horse stories a lot. They’re so funny
We humans may be able to make buildings and vehicles and rockets, but animals know how to survive and thrive. Animals deserve RESPECT from us!!
I just started watching your stories and when you laugh I can’t help but laugh myself.. I’m an okay rider but I’m an idiot sometimes 🤣.. do I blame the horse.. no.. I always apologize while getting on them and say yup you got stuck with the crazy human 😂.
Very funny story Rick. 🖒 Ignore the drags, they need to get a life. Keep em coming.
Love your stories! Hope you continue with them. :)
I would like to hear the story of Big T dumping your ex.
How does Smokey know when the video's winding down and to make an appearance?
Buddy and Mr. T,
You're good boys!
I never hate on videos ,I just love animals ,great story 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
LOVED your story, as usual. Thanks for the smile.
Please tell the story about mr t and your girl friend
You're crazy horse stories are the best!

Matty - how long did it take to get to beach?
Carol V it took about 20 minutes from where I live. I live right next to the beach. About 2 minutes away or walking distance but the beach they allow horses at is a little further away. About 20min
Matty Natural Horsemanship: I live "north of Boston", just subscribed, looking forward to viewing your videos.
Marty - sounds like u live in a nice area - trees, beach!
Ann G. Awesome! Thanks Ann
San Luis Obispo!! My sister lives there! I live in Santa Cruz. You are hilarious! My favorite parts of your videos are when you talk to the horses in your horsey voice and when you crack up laughing🤣😂🤣😂
OMG that was a great story..My hubby and I lived in Huntington Beach and we use to go rent horses at Griffith Park. Such fun times
I love this channel your stories are hilarious you are spot on with people! Plus I like to go back in time and see Mr T he's a good old boy.
You are “the fun uncle” all kids would love. And the one whose mom would be wary of!
Four of my favorite boys and a great story to start off my day. ❤️ let the haters hate, their comments say more about them then they do about poor Momma Gore.
Tell us some crazy human stories from Mr T's perspective Rick 😃😂😍
Dang it Rick, I was truly looking forward to the ex-girlfriend on Tanner story.
You mentioned it at last storytime.
Really disappointed.😢
Is it ok to hate on the haters?
😠😤😡
Rick, I love you!!! Lol!!

Thanks for the laugh on the "Tilt your head like a mare" stance. I forgot why I didn't drink coffee while watching the videos 😁👍
lol...another good crazy horse story :-) ...i clocked Smokey making an appearance at approx 19.45 time on the video....looked like he'd been having some fun lol
Glad you're feeling better and making more videos!
Imagine having rick as an uncle. Family gatherings would definitely be interesting lol
Also "we'll be out there shooting guns, don't worry they'll be fine :)"
Also "she gave good correct information unlike my nephews cause I told em to lie". Always a good influence 😂
I don’t understand how this video has dislikes 😡 I love rick ❤️❤️
Arianna McGurn the expert horse lady saw the video and had a hissy fit that she also does videos and she is far better at it and Rick just exaggerated how loud she was yelling and screaming she was actually giving commands to the horse she wasn't in fear or panic....lmao
I think rick is a better horse person than crazy lady don’t u
Arianna McGurn, it's gotta be the barn witches!!

great ending, the horsie who ran off with the lady is a good boy too :-)LOVE Mr t and buddy, rick too
I wish rick was my uncle his stories are so good
Fantastic campfire stuff!
Very few marriages these days are happily ever after...many don't divorce becuz they fear change. You were smart to recognize it was over and moved on....Surprised you didn't go for round 2 :) BTW Did your nephews ever go riding with you again?
yea
I don't remember you saying a single bad word about your ex-wife in that video. People are strange.
I'd like to hear the story of Mr. T tossing one of your other girlfriends. The haters sound like a bunch of barn witches who think they're perfect, and they can go suck eggs. They shouldn't ruin the good stories for the rest of us.
Was the horse rental stable in Half Moon Bay? I know they do rentals.
batray182 I want to hear that story too! Your loyal viewers will appreciate it
Yes DO TELL Dad 😂
lol this story is hilarious! omgosh the 'know alls' are so funny in a bad way. haha. thanks Rick for sharing. I couldn't stop laughing. hahahaha. on serious note.... I don't blame the horse for wanting to get back to the barn to get away from crazy woman. surely that is a clue to the woman that it causes more problem for herself for lying about her experience.
Is that coffee in your cup ? Thanks for your videos and the laughs. 😁 I've learned quite a lot about horses .
I live your stories!!! I'd love to hear Mr. Ts human stories 😆
Love your storys. Keep em coming..
Thanks Rick for another fabulous horse story. I was laughing all through it. You set me up for a great day. Those two beautiful guys behind you are looking GRRRRREAT !!!! Smokey too. I am a 70 year old woman who can't ride anymore, some days can barely walk, but I just love reliving the "good old days" with your horses, and your horse stories. As for the haters, well, there's a saying that I won't say but it fits them. F them if they can't take a joke. LOL Keep up the good work. As for the haters, the wanna be cowboys or girls, they need to open their minds a little and think about the horses instead of themselves for a change. Well, some of them have opened their minds so much that their brains fell out, but that's the way of the know-it-alls. Have a great Texas day. Blessings.
I've worked at a Dude Ranch for most of my teenage years. The amount of people who said they had experience riding but couldn't get the trail horses to leave the yard was insane... We used to place bets when they'd come in about whether they could get 100 feet out of the yard XD.
lol
Nice hat, Uncle Rick! ;-)
If mr t could talk he would have some great crazy human stories
Love it, Rick. Right on. Miss know it all surely blamed the horse & the check in gal was right in rolling her eyes. Lol.
The landscape told me your in CA. My husband is from TX. We both enjoy your work, stories & teachings.
Omg you really gave me a great laugh
I thinks trail horses have the best stories, short of the old time cowboy stories.
Hey Rick, just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge of horses. My two boys came from a stupid barn witch with a drinking problem who was nasty as hell. I have followed your expert advice from the rounded corners in the fence and never locking them up in a stall to installing a "NO BARN WITCHES ALLOWED " sign at the front door of the barn. Keep up the good work!!!
We love you😉
Gotta love the "How Many?" / "How often?" people. But I say, that rule of "end of ride if your horse brings you back to the barn" is GENIUS. X'D
This kinda reminded me of something I've been wondering for a while: How many ways *are* there to make a horse move, from stand to walk or such?
I learned to make them move via thrusting the hips forward so they feel the 'forward' movement, I did encounter the squeezing method too but just once. (Might be due to the different country tho as I am from Germany, but I am not sure.)
I love these crazy horse stories!!
I worked at a barn years ago taking out trail rides. This story brought me back Lol... I was a kid at the time when I’d ride just about anything. My buddies and I would jump on bareback with just a halter and lead rope and go. I’ve heard all the stories and remember the ones that talked big! Hahaha! I knew every horses thing and sometimes put the big shots on the ones that would take them in the puddles and roll as soon as they figured out there was an idiot on their back or drag them under low branches when they were white knuckled on the reins! Lmao I was just a kid but I knew horses recognized injustice and ignorance. Not too many trail riding places anymore. Not a bad thing. Not the best life for some of them. Also a Liability I suppose. Anyway I had some good times and got a lot of satisfaction watching these horses figure these people out! Only takes one pull or an unnecessary kick and it was game on! Lol Anyway good video! Btw... on one of your videos you said horses don’t try and rub you on fences they instinctively follow fence lines. I agree they follow fence lines but they also will deliberately try and rub you on a fence or tree. I’ve seen it a million times... keep doing videos man , and thanks for not slurping your coffee on this one!
Been there. I was that crazy lady who held on, but I was and am a beginner and told them that. They took me up a steep hill straight onto gallops. The horse knew what it was doing. It had done that trail a thousand times before, so up and of he went. I just held on, somehow stayed calm, wrapped round his neck until he stopped. I truly thought if I let go I'd be trampled. Them they all appeared and said 'why didn't you let go?' So I told them they didn't tell me otherwise. I got back on and finished the ride, even moving to close to and battering my knee off a tree in the process. It hurt like hell for a week or so. To sum it up, I learned from my mistakes lol.. Now, watching Ricks videos, I'm learning even more. It's a slow process but a rewarding one
