- I ran into a small hiccup when Scarlett was spooking at something in the round pen today.
Her wild horse sense was on high alert, but with some confidence building and positive reinforcement she learned to be brave and face her fears!

It's very obvious that your method is to be kind and tune into whatever horse you are working on. Your approach makes good sense & it's lovely to watch your horses gain confidence. I really enjoy all your updates but especially the ones with little Scarlett. It's also become obvious that Tiny must be in every video. :-)
Love Tiny! Little ham 💕💕
@@luvastandardbred8270 she sure is! 🐾
You are very gentle and thoughtful and your explanations are clear. I really appreciate you pointing out the horses facial expressions and body language. Thank you!
Scarlett deserves a solid foundation and to live without fear. Thanks for giving that to her.
I think you explain yourself and how your horse is dealing with thing extremely well. You know, training anything or anybody is pretty much the same. Addressing problems right away with patience and creative repetition, encouragement, and reward works with all animals and people too.
You're a top notch, ethical trainer. I'm learning a lot just from your videos. Thank you for your kindness to these lucky, lucky horses!
Thank you!
Scarlett's training session with shadows and the bridge went great! Both of those things can be scary for not only young horses but also young and wild horses. Gold Stars for both - thanks for sharing and God bless😊❤😊
Scarlet is a bright horse. You can see her figuring things out and then she has the courage to do what you're asking her to. Great training methods!
You do just fine with the explanations, as many humans think what's the big deal. But a horse thinks Hey that's a big deal for me.
Exactly!
You are an excellent trainer! Happy horse is a trainable horse... Amen. And why would anyone want it any other way?
One thing I do with dogs who react to novelty is to supply small doses of daily novelty. Tie something different to the round pen every day (or at different heights or in different ways), put in a cardboard box, etc. When working, do approach and retreat toward novel items. I use the verbal cue: check it out. Always working to retreat before threshold. And always retreating no matter how chill the animal appears to be at first - you can always approach again but if you go over threshold, you can be back at square one quickly. Have found that helpful to teaching them to, at first, cope better and then, later on, seek out novelty. FWIW.
THIS!
To be fair, those shadows ARE pretty terrifying :D
I’ve had horses for fifty years and I can always learn from someone else everything you do makes sense there wasn’t much knowledge on training horses when I started my horses are in their twenty’s and I find that it is fun to teach them new things that I’ve learned I’m 78 it give’s me something to do and spend time with them
Wild horses who are on high alert and are intelligent are the ones that survive! Scarlett seems very bright and just needs to learn she doesn't have to be afraid.😍
A happy horse is a trainable horse!!! Well said!
Encouraging her curiosity (instead of reprimanding). YEAH! What a wonderfully kind and astute teacher/leader you are with horses. Your videos are excellent. Love seeing your cat, too. I use similar methods with children.
Every time I watch your videos I learn more about horses than I ever knew I wanted to know.
We had the very same issue with my Mustang mare...She would see her shadow and just come unglued! It just took time and eventually she got past that fear bc I would stop her and reassure her that it was ok with treats and rubs. Great job!!
I do similar things with my young horse. I call it the Game of Life, as in “oh look! There’s some life over there!” It generates better vibes than thinking of it as scary things. It’s great that you’re teaching Scarlett that curiosity gets rewarded and that checking in with the human is the most desirable option. The instinctive fear of novelty may be a survival mechanism but it’s a crappy go-to for domestic life!
Love that!
That's so sweet! She is such a sweetheart, thanks to your great patience and care! Great job!!!
Love how she is getting over the big terrible, spooky shadow! 👍🏻❤❤❤
I am not really a horseperson, but your training approach made sense to me. I, too, think that Scarlett did very well.
She trusts you as her leader, so she can relax and build up her confidence.
Thank you for the update on Scarlett! Your video did a great job explaining your training methods. Scarlett is looking healthy and happy and progressing nicely in her training. Tiny is the cutest training assistant ever, LOL! ❤
😊🐈👍🏽 I agree! Tiny's just ADORABLE! She's such a darling diva!❤
I like the part where you say "she gets a little wiggly here" on the bridge, hahaha
Scarlets Shadow. Good name for a kids book! Or Skittish Scarlet or Sensible Scarlet or Silly Scarlet. Gosh its a Scarlet Series :-)
This Horse is thw prettiest creatures I have ever seen!! Just a super sight to see!! You Clever Cowgirls are just that!!
She looks so good and has grown a lot. Your session with Scarlett was very informative and had a great flow. Thank you for sharing!
Yep she was absolutely on alert
Her eyes were wide open. Poor girl. I can't wait for her to become a confident free girl
Ha! I'm not a horse trainer at all---and everything you showed, said, and explained made perfect sense to me. I enjoyed it.
Excellent! Thank you!
You were very clear. Enjoyed watching. Thank you.
Im walking my dogs and watching and at the end when tiny come up i thought for a split second my cat had followed me i looked around for him thinking i had just seen him because i was glancing at my screen. Tiny looks just like my cat, primordial pouch and all.
Scarlet is so willing to communicate with you! Her trust is growing I think. She’s lovely! What a stable, happy, intelligent and curious horse she will be in time. I do like the way she communicates with you!
Bravo Scarlett! She will ace these tasks as she matures cowgirl. Your style and confidence helps her ... you can see she's understands & trusts you. I can see Scarlett wants to feel better in her surroundings she really is a wonderful young horse. Like all animals they prosper in life with love, guidance, food, shelter and companionship. Thank goodness Scarlett found you 🐎💗🎄
CC you're what my grandfather would call a real horse whisperer. He was good with horses in gentling but never called himself that. You meet his description- saying when see one. You know you're in the presence of a magical being. Thank you.
I'm always so impressed with your knowledge, understanding and patience. Your horses are so lucky to have you. I enjoy all your videos. 😊😊😊
There will come a day for Scarlett when time has healed what no longer mattered....
I am just obsessed with Tiny. Love the horses & the chill training methods as well of course
This was nice to watch and understandable. Thanks!
Perfect, thank you!
I have a young horse to and i cant do that without cloves, i burned my hands many times with horse being scared and drag me with her 😅
Don't use nylon rope, try to keep to Cotton leads/lines. Trust me, my old hands have burned with having the nylon heat up at the speed it gets ripped out of my hands
@@carola7893 yes nylon lunge rope 🥴
Scarlett is beautiful!! Its apparent you have great patience with her and all your horses. Scarlett seems to be getting more confident too!!❤❤❤
Scarlett is so beautiful! I love her color especially the hair color. With beautiful socks as well!
i absolutely love your daily training sessions you tailored just for Scarlett. she really does love you , she is always looking at you or towards you for approval and your opinion on things that either make her nervous for your comfort or looking for that feel good praise you give her to boost her confidence , and that is something we all enjoy lol. of course she still is a bit green and still living in the mental state of wilderness survival instinct but it just shocks me that it has been well over a year now and she still remembers it. i assumed after all that TLC you gave her for over a year that she would have come around by now but i guess some creatures require a bit more grace than others. i just so hope she becomes that golden gem that you could trust blind folded backwards in the dark. you deserve a horse like that.
A horse like that will teach us all new things as well !! I love how patient you are with her and in turn she trusts you and isn’t that just the best ?? These are getting to be my most fav vlogs !!!! ❤️🐴 PS - I have no dubt you know what your doing and I’ve learned alot from just watching you !! So I don’t know who said what but it definitely wasn’t this girl !!
Never had a doubt in my mind that you knew what you were doing training and otherwise after I watched your rehab video with Skeletor. No problems following what you were doing with Scarlett and why.
Tiny agrees with the methods :) Love the slow and steady videos
Scarlett is going to be a great little horse when she becomes more confident. Great video Cowgirl. Thanks
Haha she is so cute the way she scoots past the shadow - what a brave girl! ❤️
So much fun catching up on many of the rescues the we all have become familiar with. I'm quite sure many CC Fans are drawn to a special one or two rescues so it was no surprise when my own Ears perked up when your Stewie was talked about and this Stuey immediately Smiled and said out loud..."Hey, It's Sweet Stewie"! My Bulldog, Jack Boy snorted a bit and looked at me as if I was cheating on him🤣 I have learned so much about what you do with your rescues and with the behind the scenes too! Most importantly, I've been reminded about just staying grounded and staying grateful from experiencing your complete patience with your babies! Blessings From COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO 🙏👋
clear training like your beautiful blue skies and landscape she seems like a perfect girl
Thanks for the video~! Loved seeing the update!
Repeating lessons for short periods and teach both sides of the brain. Our saddlebred really demonstrated this need - you take her through something one wau you need to go thru it again the other way.
I love your training and your videos. Thank you. My only feedback is that the music is distracting and unnecessary. Your voice over and video footage is thoroughly engaging without the music.
I subscribe to the small treats for small understanding/tries/ getting what you're asking them to do. I got my former Amish buggy horse to take a treat from my hand in the saddle last Sunday. I've had her a year and a half, the treats are similar to the ones you're using today
Your very good at explaining what you're doing... great job with Scarlett she is such a good girl ❤
What does "being fresh" mean? I was stunned in a previous video when you mentioned you are not outgoing. Seems to me you have a heart of gold and are an angel for doing this type of work! Amazing and heartwarming is all I can say! Your training methods are great and full of common sense. When I first noted her shadow I wondered if that was concerning her. Great video!
Just having some extra energy!
Nicely done!!
Love your videos! My background is dog training it I see a lot of kindness and patience in what you’re doing and it makes sense to me, and I can’t even imagine trying to train a “feral” dog! I also follow Ryan Rose and a lot of what he does makes sense to me as well but there are clear differences in your methods. I “think” that’s because Mr. Rose focuses primarily in his videos on problem solving for someone else’s horses so he has to do something right now, where you have the time to spend months or years with a horse. I’d find it interesting to hear you compare and contrast the two methods. I’m planning to retire in the next year or so and thinking of spending a lot of time with horses so I really appreciate content such as yours and Mr. Rose!
You are so awesome with your training; it shows in how you interact with each horse.
I love how you work with Scarlett and i wish that you and Scarlett will go a long way and win what ever you do with Scarlett
Awesome demonstration with excellent explanations.
She is really beautiful ❤. You are patient and so gentle with your horses👏🏻👍🏻💕
dear Cowgirl, there is an exellent method to your madness I think!! I adore watching your videos and listening to your comments. I love both the content and the words and attitude you have for your loved ones. I write from Germany and I really would like to send some Euro support for your work but I couldn't figure that out yet. I will send you an email to ask how to do so.
I wish you all the best, good health through this year and lots of amazing views on the beautiful mountains. thank you for letting us see them glowing in the mornig or evening sun.
always enough hay on the farm and happy days!
Still binge watching & your subscribers are now at 61.2K.

Shadows could be coyotes or gulp...wolves!😮😮😮😊 You are a very good trainer! The best rule for any trainer is realizing you don't know everything and being adaptable to each horse! Good job!
I'm looking forward to seeing videos with nicer weather, since I started watching this channel in the dead of winter. 😊
You sure take good care of your beautifull horses .
Many years ago, on America's funniest Videos showed a video that was not funny (so stuck with me) of a racehorse was in a race and whenever there was a shadow of the track the horse would leap over the shadow even though was racing fast. So glad you both each other.
Yes, I followed along just fine, thank you.
I followed your training just fine. Good job!
Your explanations made perfect sense. I think it's great that you explain why you're doing what you are so that people who don't understand can see your motivations. Also, perhaps people who don't agree with your methods at first, might change their mind 🙂
Tell her good girl , calming voice reassurance really works ❤
Scarlet is going to make an amazing riding horse, once She gains full confidence in her own decisions... she picks her feet up nice and high, I think she is going to be a very sure footed horse, she just has more growing to do. I love the way you train, your mindset... its much like we did with the dogs... always rewarding good behaviors, and ending ona good note, so they always look forward to the next training session.... even if they are a bit fraidy cat. Beautiful.
I watch you trainers very interesting.
You all have your style .
I am not a fan of treats all the time .
They need to know .
Thankyou for the vid .
When I first watched you, I thought it was a shadow from the round pen of her.
Your knowledge is very apparent as well as your patience and kindness ❤
I appreciate that!
I love your explanations. I got my mustangs 5 years ago, I would be much farther along with my older one if I had your experiences to watch and learn from. He was 9 when I got him, and gelded 3 weeks prior to me bringing him home
CC, you started off talking about Scarlett's "little horse brain." Just what size is the equine brain compared to that of a cow, pig or dog? As a vet tech, you probably assisted in surgeries and have seen x-rays.
I know horses are prey animals and skittish at shadows, anything new, or distractions. As you said, she is a "wild horse" and always had to be on alert; in time, and you're so patient, she will like her shadow.
Somebody else lets her horses look in the camera; they see their images, get used to that experience, then even put their muzzles right into the camera for more, lol!
Those are nice, convenient rope halters and neck pieces for lunging. Scarlett is comfortable with you because you're consistent with scratches' reinforcement and the occasional treat (not to spoil her).
When I feed my kitty Temptation brand "treats," the directions actually say for just give 1/3 - 2/3 cup per 10 lbs (now a whole bowl). Then, I feed the regular kibble. Looks like your mouser cat loves the scratches, too, and has a full mouse belly again today.
Love your videos!
no idea, but compared to human its tiny!
Always finish on a good note ,like you do ❤
That went great. It will be cool to see Scarlett's progress!
You are doing an awesome job❗️
More Scarlett please! 🥰. Her story is interesting and she is incredibly adorable!
Loved watching this.🐴❤️
You did an awesome job! Just like people you have to start with them where they're at, not where you are. She's going to be amazing. Keep up the great work. Your narrations are very good.😉👍
I really think you are very aware of your horses feeling and emotional needs. For me that is what is most important. It builds trust with your horses!
You explain very well thanks
Scarlett is such a pretty gal and is showing confidence with your great training!
I love Scarlett and her mane is an awesome color. Reminds me of a chestnut horse I had that had a similar color mane. Lovely. Great job too! 😊
Great job ❤
Nice. Thanks!
I enjoyed your training session with Scarlet. Your training method was great and I followed your steps very well. I really enjoyed it.
Almost everything is training with animals in my opinion
Great training...but all horses are different. Some spook some dont
I've just been watching this year's Road to the Horse, and you are saying so many of the same things the winner said about training his horse in the competition. Very cool stuff!
On interesting! I’ll have to check it out. The timeline on those competitions are pretty unrealistic but those horses make it look easy sometimes !
Oh it’s been totally clear to me that you know what you are doing! Not sure how anyone could miss it😂!!
Love your videos very educational
No, you’re wrong. You explain things very well. I really enjoy watching your videos!
I only recently discovered your channel. So now I have two horse channels to watch, as I also enjoy Steve Young horsemanship.
*waves to Tiny* 😊 Great video! Really interesting to see how you work with Scarlett & your thoughts behind her training!
Awesome video thanks for sharing ❤
Love your training methods. So horse-centric.
I got it. I think this will help with me and my very domesticated dogs.
