- #thinklikeahorse #ItIsNeverTheHorsesFault I did not put link on purpose. I do not want people hating or attacking this woman. I want people to understand horses so they don't make the same mistakes and make horses pay for their lack of knowledge. This video is Not picking on this woman, it is for learning and education for others, so they do not make the same mistakes.
This video is used under Fair Use for education, critique and evaluation purposes. I said in the video I do not know anything about this lady, and she may be very nice. In my opinion, and the results of this horse almost breaking his neck, her training methods are NOT good for the horse.
I am not trying to train her, or get her to like me or accept my opinion. I am pointing our horse behavior and horse language that most will miss if not pointed out. Not asking for love or hate, everyone is free to disagree, and take or ignore my opinion. I am sharing my opinion for the purpose of HELPING HORSES.
I said in the video I do not want people to to and find and hate on this woman or be mean in the comments. Make comments constructive and stay on topic. Any attacks, name calling or rudeness will be deleted. Thanks
Taught a girl at my pony club a valuable lesson the other day. She didn’t believe me that horses would rather be out in the cold in pasture with other horses than locked in a stall and ‘nice and warm’. She said her horse loved the stall. We placed a bet on what would happen if she left the stall door open and the access gate from the pasture to the back of the stable. Guess where the horse slept overnight. With his herd. Wish more people understood what stalls are to horses
Angeline Bennett I think it was that, and the fact that horses get dirty out in pasture. People are so lazy when it comes to grooming and cleaning their animals. My horse only has a cover on him when it’s snowing, but when then I let him decide. I’ll go out with his cover and say ‘want your cover?’ And if he ignores me I don’t put it on. I know he knows what it means and there’s never been treats involved so he doesn’t come to me thinking he’s getting a treat. They’ve got access to shelter too, so they end up using that and having choices instead of humans imposing everything on them. But everyone else at the barn coddle their horses with covers. I end up taking a bunch of them off because they are too lazy to come take them off on hot days. Can’t believe the way some people bubble wrap their animals. And to think a horse would rather be in a box, warm, and with humans, than cold out in the pasture with their herd.. shows how little these people know their animals.
@@ashywales7795 she asks the horse if it wants a blanket or not.😂🤣😜
What a load of crap. Bella and the young colt are going to live out. Their field shelter is arriving tomorrow. Please don't comment when you have obviously never watched one of her videos.
@@lesleydickson7746 if they had they also would know that both horses didn't have grass to much grass to quickly is bad and there is a field of bulls next door that terrify her wich is what caused her fall in the first place so would have happened with or without Tara in fact it was better it happened whith Tara than on her own imagine a horse laying with a broken back for ages without help but Hay what do we know we have only been following Bellas progress and seen her improving every day and Tara is the bad person this lot need to get over themselves
Good job.
I grew up on Black Beauty and in 2015 in middle age life crisis I bought a horse because of its name! Lucky for me and very lucky for my horse, I started watching Rick's channel to learn about a horse's world. I instantly was mortified with the inightlessness and self absorption of such a move and so remember the video about Serenity. I vowed to never be a barn witch, to learn from the horse and talk less , watch very very closely and respond with timing and feel. Yes I would have a relationship with my horse but it is in his horse world, not in my world. Its made me a better person and understanding pressure, release, draw, prey brain has been invaluable in so many domains. Thank you Rick.
thanks :)
@@ThinkLikeAHorse oh and never wear Pink!! Never ever put a noble horse in such silly colour. So disrespectful and undignified.
@@janemirandafitch6476 Hey, wait a minute... (smile) ... There's nothing wrong with pink itself.
I do remember "Black Beauty", soundtrack still ringing in my ears 🎶
and the intro with BB running through some water ... bliss ...
@@janemirandafitch6476 oh no I have a pink helmet is that bad?
Horse or not you don’t back an animal into a corner. Stresses any animal including human.
@@blondieuk She may think she is, but she is not speaking to the horse in its language. If you understood a horse's body language, it is very obvious that the horse is stressed because of the constant pressure and lack of release. I suggest you take a look at natural horsemanship and decide if she is a better trainer than the top clinicians
@@ruthk280 hmm, didn’t see anything in Nikki’s comment about the proficiency or lack of this Tara person, just an accurate observation of backing a horse or anyone into a corner.
@@louisegogel7973 was replying to Blondie's comment not nikkis
@@ruthk280 Oh, I didn’t notice who you were replying to, and I think because Blonde took the comment off, I assumed. 🙃 Perhaps Blonde decided to think the comment and your response through more thoroughly, and you helped change a mind positively!
This was another painful one to watch. Thanks, Rick for narrating what she could have done differently. This helps many of us learn, grow, and be better horse people.
And helps us avoid serious injury to both us and our horses 😁
Rick, thanks for all your awesome videos. My family has learned so much for your teachings. My horses are better today then yesterday, and our relationship together is so much better. Those that are new to this channel WAIT! and give Rick a chance, I can guarantee that your life will change with your horse.
The harsh, but witty teachings you will be grateful for one day.
We love you Rick and we are greatly appreciative for your time.
thanks
Your welcome
She is a know it all. Takes no constructive criticism either...I’ve tried.
Holly W.: I'm not an expert, but I have seen a lot of the videos and I can't watch anymore because I see many handling mistakes being made by rushing the animal into training too fast and too advanced for her at this stage of life. I fear repercussions down the road. It takes professional trainers 30-60 days to educate a young horse just to be safely trail ridden with basic education.
You know her personally, or commented on her videos? I wonder if she would watch this video and allow herself to learn from what Rick and the commenters are saying.
@@louisegogel7973 She re-uploaded Ricks video and sent her fans to hate on him... so I guess she not
@@flufflewarrior Thank you for letting me know.
We can keep an open positive thought of many of her fans wake up to new perspectives and help from the inside to turn her mindset.
May one by one, the seeds for better, harmonious, proactive, and win win ways of handling life and all its living beings be planted, nurtured, and grow strong within us all.
Not a chance! I've watched her videos of her riding Bella. I wince every time she hangs onto the reins for balance, pulling on the horse's mouth. and causing the horse to throw her head up in the air to escape the pain. I made some suggestions about loosening the reins and just letting Bella walk freely. I think it fell on deaf ears. I can't watch her videos anymore. @@louisegogel7973
What a cute Andalusian filly. Horses are so precious, a gift to those who look.
Cute but not nearly as cute as my adorable arabian stallion.
@@leealexander3507 there was no reason to comment that
I've made it about halfway through this video and I'm already yelling, "give her some release already! "
Amanda nowlin I was as well, that poor filly😒
I’m starting to think that horse training is like learning a language-a little daily practice is better than a big session all at once.
You got it!
Rick you are spot on. This was so cringey to watch. She was completely oblivious to the horses body language.
Not only that, she looks afraid of the horse, she can't relax because she seems paralyzed with fear.
@@Neon_White bro imagine what she cuts out.... how is she not embarrassed
Ive watched her videos before & she has beautiful horses but she talks way to much and the good girl get old🤦♀️ So much wrong with this video and people cant take constructive criticism . Sad, especially when it's to help the horse. Ego's dont like being bruised🙄
Besides doing the things she's doing, she looks like she's afraid.
She is afraid you can see it. But I think the reason she talks so much and says good girl constantly is a self soothing pattern she has got into and is actually to reassure herself. Strange as it may sound. So effectively you have an anxious horse that needs direction paired with an unsure anxious leader.
She is but she tries to act casual
Too much pressure, ABSOLUTELY no release. Doomed from the start.
I saw this person’s videos before they showed up here. As I was watching this person, particularly in the stall, I could hear Rick in my over and over: Where is the release? You are pressuring her. You are upsetting her. Why are you constantly chasing her around her stall? Where is the release, where is the release, where is the RELEASE!!???
Rick, you have improved my relationship with my own horse immensely. TY!!
Rebecca Davison i watched these vids too, and thought exactly the same thing!
Rebecca Davison Yes! She was acting like a predator.
Me to, i watched aswel these vids aswel. Very annoying!!
Jesus Christ that was hard to watch. Does this lady realize that her saying “good girl” endlessly to the horse means absolutely nothing to the horse?? Just providing more pressure on the damn horse.
Totally agree!! in the first video with her first foal Diablo, she hits him and her followers are denying what's plain to see on the video, it's truly incredible to have this blind devotion.
Here what the horse hears when she says 'good girl': Blah, blah, blah, blah................Said enough that the horse ignores her voice. Rookie mistake.
I think that if people would make a rule for themselves that they make absolutely NO HUMAN VOCALIZATIONS, then they would realize that they have to communicate some other way, like maybe in a way that the horse understands!
@@kathyh.1720 Good comment!
And it drove me nuts!
Bella: Snorts and prances
Tara: "Good Girl"
Bella: Spooks
Tara: "Good Girl"
Bella: Flips over
Tara: "Good Girl"
Bella: Tosses head
Tara: "Good Girl"
Bella: Walking all over Tara
Tara: "Good Girl"
Bella: Stands still
Tara: "Steady! STEADY!!"
STEADY !!!! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 I know! Tara is really stupid!😂
Tara bought this young filly and a young colt from a breeder that did zero training with them and it transpired they had not even been weaned from their mothers. This is quite soon after bringing them home, she has retired now to devote time to train them both, she has her work cut out but they are making slow progress in the right direction.
Juanita M NEEDS MORE LIKES!!!
I’ve been watching Tara’s channel too. Rick is right . She’s been very lucky because she doesn’t understand how horses think. She can learn. I hope she sees this. She and her husband are very earnest and want to do the right thing by these young horses. But the “good girl” s are just white noise to Bella.
@@christinemurray8542 I also watch Tara,they seem to be patient &loving with their horses but I cant stand when tara and her husband are constantly saying good girl,I left a comment that they should have t shirts made that say "GOOD GIRL" GOOD BOY",Which they do to Diablo!
Devotion and time doesn't matter when you don't know what you're doing.
I have in other comments they are around a year old...
Sorry but a year old foal is NOT ready to be separated from its mother by far!...
In nature they leave their mother around three...
Do you know Frédérick Pignon and Magalie Delgado?... Magalie Delgado's family breed and raise horses and they NEVER separate the younsters from their mother and the herd before three, heck, they don't start to train before three and at this age they do ground work!...
This is fascinating to watch! Seeing her in that little stall with the mare obviously very uncomfortable had me SO on edge.. I'm amazed she didnt get kicked or bit 😬
Also seeing this makes me grateful for the men in my life who've been willing to tell me when I'm wrong! I wouldn't be anywhere without them 😅 What a world it would be if everyones approach was one that is willing to learn, and knowing they don't know it all!
Absolutely agree! I don't see what the big deal with criticism is. How else is one supposed to improve?
This is one of the best educational and well explained videos about pressure and release and how a horse would react to too much pressure and very little to no release and the communication from the horse is not getting through to the handler. The horse's body language is a no-brainer. Awesome job Rick!!
my dad cussed me out and todl me it was negative-
I have seen her videos here and there. I knew this was her just from her voice. She deserves whatever she gets. I cringe every time I watch a video. She obviously can't learn from her own mistakes. She is unwilling to try to learn anything else because obviously she knows it all. I laugh every time her horses get the best of her. Seems to happen every video
She can't control any of her 3 horses, I no longer follow her channel.
Cripes, this is Tara. I've seen a few of her videos here and there and it's truly scary. This woman needs some thorough training in horsemanship starting from scratch, she makes so many dangerous mistakes. It's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.
You are right Tara does deserve whatever she gets! And yes Tara is a know it all & no one can tell her any different. I've seen enough of her videos that make me laugh at her! Yet I get so frustrated how she torments her poor horses. The woman has a very wealthy husband & can have any horse she wants & is very dominant person. This poor beautiful horse (Bella) has been uncomfortable since day 1.
Her Arabian threw her once when she poured cold water on him while riding.
I have watched tons of Tara’s videos and like them as well but being nice doesn’t negate the fact that the filly is getting no release so there is no right answer....too many cooks in the kitchen and paying more attention to making a video and talking than what her beb is trying to tell her. Her whole video was like watching a kidnapping with all the bribing and pulling. I was disappointed. It doesn’t matter what the previous owners/breeders did. Horses still only know pressure and release, it’s THEIR body language.
I am a nationally published equestrian photographer, and when watching Tara’s videos, I get the “willies” and a bad gut feeling about everything with these two foals, especially seeing that she turned to a “mill breeder” who is an irresponsible breeder and watching how they pushed the foal, who had never been weaned, into being trailered. I myself have been on a stud farm for a shoot with one of these mill breeders, and I can go on and on about my experience there, which was highly unpleasant. The owner had countless feral youngsters in the muddy backyard, a property that wasn’t zoned for horses, and kept her horses in souped up tractor sheds. Additionally, the owner wouldn’t let me take pictures anywhere in those areas, ordered me to stick to the nice looking front yard areas or she would take legal action against me. I have also witnessed a public-funded equestrian center posting online how their new foal needs to learn from his mom, don’t pet or touch him, it teaches him bad behavior. The people working on this facility are primarily volunteers, and the facility has made big mistakes before. This struck me as strange because at top notch stud farms, the trainers actually want you to pet the foals in their presence to get used to human contact. Also, I have witnessed people like Tara with good intentions trying to train problematic horses, but not understanding how to work with them, the horses end up with major issues. In the end, such horses belong with experienced trainers who thoroughly know what they are doing with dangerous and feral horses, and if that is not the strength of a given owner or trainer, such a trainer needs to be engaged. In the end, just the fact she brought from a mill breeder is a red flag for me, and to be honest, these horses do not have the Baroque look of PREs. I totally agree about cult following, and wish that more owners would engage experienced trainers when working with problematic horses. End of rant ...
@@hemiola07 so sad....🥺
I cant watch her videos at all any more...
@@hemiola07 Were you at least able to alert authorities to the conditions you witnessed, so someone could go out in person to see for themselves and possibly do something about it?
Absolutely!
Another beautiful horse in the shitter. I've watched this a couple times now. It reminded me of a 60 year old barn witch who had been around horses all her life and many years as a barn manager. She was going to help me halter my second horse Trooper.Trooper came to me because I was a sucker. He had an uncomfortable fear of ropes. She the barn witch was going to halter him in a 12 ×12 stall. He was nervous and stressed she finally realized the potential for great bodily harm. Had she had a rope or I handed her one he would have broke in half. In a large pen I was able to halter him . The key was I didn't stop until I haltered him. Each day he came around sooner until he saw the rope he would stand or walk off slow allowed me to catch him. He didn't like the running. I thought I had done everything to get him over his fear of ropes. Finally I I lead him and Lightfoot down to a pasture. He wanted to eat the fresh grass but he couldn't quite do it. We followed Lightfoot he was eating fine. Fine he ate a little I continued to let slack out a little every day. He lead fine it was when the hope was on the ground. Never did figure out was caused his fear . But after a year off from injury we are getting back at it.
Has this woman learned anything? Looking at the channel, the comments looked curated because everyone seems to think she's some knowledgeable person about horses.
Yes! I am flabbergasted that there are only ever positive comments on every single video when there are obvious mistakes being made in every single video I’ve seen in the last few years, ones that a somewhat knowledgeable beginner would be able to point out. She also favorites almost every comment (at least the ones that remains) on every single video. I believe she’s deleting comments not only because there are only positive comments (when the horse world is notoriously opinionated, so this almost never happens even on the best of videos), or neutral comments on the rare occasion that there are any left up, and because we know for a fact that she’s looking at every single comment because all of the ones remaining are favorited by her. She’s not the worst 😬, but she’s not very skilled and because her comments section makes it seem like everyone thinks she some amazing horse person and a great source of information, people are going to end up misled and forming bad habits if they take her advice or take her as an example. I hate to think people looking for good information might end up on her channel and because they don’t see any of the construction criticism that is certainly posted and then deleted, they may end up following her and immediately creating bad habits because of the faulty source of information.
I’m not a fan of Rick, because despite the fact that he says things like ‘I’m not hating on her because she a woman’, his information (which has some good points to it) is delivered in a very biased manner when it comes to the female sex. He says something to the effect of ‘maybe she’ll look at the video and realize that she doesn’t know everything and she can learn some more’ and then follows it up with ‘sometimes that’s hard for a woman to admit’ and there in lies the problem with Rick. A lot of the world has a problem admitting when they’re wrong and that they could stand to learn something, but instead of saying that, he has to throw in ‘women have a hard time admitting…’ and shows his cards with how he thinks about women. I’m sure he’s very nice to the women in his life, but he needs to take his own advice: maybe he doesn’t realize that he has the tendency to criticize women almost exclusively and that he has might want to be open to that idea and realize that he can learn to be better. Or just be honest with himself that he is biased to a degree and that he can still make videos pointing out all of the problems with the way people handle horses, even if they’re women lol, without singling out an entire sex for something that is prevalent in every sex regardless of where they're from. And God forbid you purchase any equipment in a pastel color, even if it's on sale 😂. Yes, Rick has some good information to impart, but he has some learning to do in other areas, just like most everyone else. Maybe he's gotten better in the last two years, but I would be surprised because it's hard to change.
Sorry for the novel, but it was nice to see someone pointing out what you did about Tara's channel.
She deletes and shadow bans comments she doesn't like. You either preach to the choir or you are censored. Her opinion is it her barn, her horses, she'll do things her way and if you don't like it, don't watch.
That's because her followers are ignorant. Tara is the laughing stock of the u.k !😂😂
This patient lil horse....poor girl. Another great teaching video. But honestly, I may never say "good girl" again.
No kidding It's DRIVING ME NUTS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
IKR!!??😅😅🙄
Damn it, me too.
The horse is honest and will always reveal who you are as a trainer
I SWEAR if she says "Good girl" 1 more time......driving me nuts Lord have mercy. 😤
She’s definitely teaching this horse that humans are predators who only brings pressure into your face but the word release is not a part of their dictionary
Anyone saying pressure and release doesn't work, search Isidro Espinoza on here and watch some REAL wild horses get halters on on day one of training....all trained with pressure and release. Pretty much any of the channels that do video series on their Mustang Makeover or TIP horses!!! I promise, it will change your mind on pressure and release not working!!
When you watch Elisa Wallace at work you will forever change your mind.
@@katiek.8808 that's exactly what I meant? I love Elisa Wallace's approach
@@katiek.8808 I've been watching her for years. She gets excellent results with as little stress to the animal as possible. If you can't read the mustangs body language and how quickly they tend to trust her then that's on you.
I'm less impressed with her skills in the eventing/training department though. But hey, it is not like I could do any better.
@@katiek.8808 so in other words you've watched only the last 2 years of mustangs? Go look a little further back would you. I don't think it is bad at all when you recognise your own limitations and employ capable people to support you. The problem Tara has is that she does not even see or recognise her own complete lack of knowledge surrounding horses.
There is no pressure and release! It's all pressure... her hand, the lead, etc. At least from what I've seen so far. Poor horse is terrified
Yep!!!
rick she just returned the colt (now gelding) back to the breeder for being too pushy and "spoiled" ! i'm losing my mind
How typical and not surprising. Crazy how she actually has followers defending her ignorance. Wonder what they think of her selling the foal now gelding because she was being emotional and acting like a stupid human.
@@Anastasia2048 oh they're totally on her side, telling her she made the right decision and it's all the breeder's fault still. Which to my understanding, she believed she basically rescued these horses, and went on and on about the poor living conditions....and then sends the horse back to them because in all her grand knowledge of training, can't figure out how to deal with a pushy horse 🙄
@@amandak3198 Even of the breeder did cause issues, that's not an excuse to just toss a horse away. She should let go of her pride and stop trying to pretend that she has knowledge and understanding for horses. It's not an insult, it's just being honest. I absolutely love horses, they are my passion. But I know financially and education wise, I am not ready to own a horse or to board one. I feel sorry for all the horses that got bought, thinking they were an easy fix, only to be thrown away.
@@Anastasia2048 I agree. People in the horse world tend to get hung up on whose fault everything little thing is, and aren't humble enough to look at themselves. She took horses from incompetent breeders, taught one of them to be pushy, and then sent it back. The breeders probably aren't capable of fixing the horse, either, so its just made his chances in life even bleaker. But it can't be Tara's fault! Its clearly the mind powers of the breeder still influencing the horse's behavior from 3 hours away. (Sarcasm)
I don't believe she ever intended to keep both. They only added 1 new stall. I think she just wanted time to watch and compare to better choose which she wanted. And keeping Bella separate after getting comfortable w/the boys so she won't "Buddy sour", pretty much finished me.
Rick you are right 100%. At 73 years old I have seen more ignorance around horses, and women and city folks are the worst. Keep up your good work. Semper Fi.
Thanks so much for reviewing Tara working with her mare Bella. I have watched her vids for 5 years now and unfortunately she responds so badly to constructive criticism which is intended to help. Bella is now under saddle, pleeease review some of her previous videos where she is working in the menage, poor mare doesn't understand whether she is coming or going. Great work as always. I started riding at 5 and now at 72 and still riding my Thoroughbred 2/3 times a week you can never stop learning from your horse. Keep it up Rick.
I don't have a horse. I've spent a lot of time training dogs though. I appreciate what and how you are teaching it. There are a lot of good examples of negative reinforcement in this video and I love the way you explain these things.
We need to continuously learn to help our relationship with our horses. Once we stop learning, it is like walking backwards.
I agree, as children we learn by are parents, good or bad
Most don't want to learn. They think they know all they need to know.
im dying. why did she take this so personally? you're talking about the horse's behavior and the way the horse is reacting.
She THINKS she knows it all ... she's a laughing stock in the UK 🇬🇧😆🤣😂🥴
Yes she is the laughing stock of the u.k🤣🤣🤣😂! Very true! She is an embarrassment.
The horse is so confused, she is giving way to much chaos for it to understand.
The woman is an entire disaster!
Thank You for all your help, this women should not be training this poor horse.
People, you hurt your companions all the time by accidentally stepping on their paws, feeding them the wrong things, and raising them wrong. You love them, but you can still accidentally hurt them without knowing or meaning to. People will point that out, so you can avoid hurting them again by being more careful and mindful.
Rick - you’re a bit off on this. She just got these horses from the breeder a couple days ago. The breeder didn’t do ANYTHING with either of these horses. These are both yearlings without ANY training.
Actually Diablo was spoiled, so much so that Tara says he doesn't respect humans. It is so strange that the breeder raised them so differently.
No matter how untrained a horse is, wrong handling is always wrong
@@pnhnut Oh, most definitely not a fan of the breeder.
If Diablo was handled so differently why did it take an hour and a half and then call a vet to Drug him to get him in the trailer?
kayBTR he was handled differently but not better
This woman is so frustrating, the final nail was her standing in the horses way when trying to get it out of the stall. Mind blowing
I know! Isn't that stupid? Tara thinks she's a real expert!🤣🤣🤣
Thank you RIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!
I must tell you this lady is severely creeping me out at 00:44:12.
She's making me nauseous with her incessant staring and hyper closeness to this horse.
It's so conditional in this moment.
Eew.
When it cut to her with the food I yelled, 'Can you not let the horse eat in peace?!'
She has problems.
Its insane how much pressure people put on horses without realising it
Leslie Gray With a filly that nervous, even having a person present is a lot of pressure for her. I don’t think the owners are even aware of how just standing there is putting pressure on her, and when they kept reaching for her, it was too much and she shut down.
Camryn Martinson yep. Just being near a horse is pressure. And she was resting her arm on the horse, making it nervous and didn’t release. It gave me anxiety just watching this.
I am not a fan of this woman I saw quite a few of her videos she makes mistake after mistake after mistake.
I had a horse flip at the time rack and wreck his $2,000 saddle. My horse is pretty reactive and was stressed at the tie rack. I was a bit rushed be because I was late for a riding lesson. My fault, because I was thinking more about the lesson than the horse's mental state. We all make mistakes. Now I'm having to dial back and approach saddling this horse differently until I can get him more confident at the time rack.
Thank you for this video Rick! Honestly this woman and her husband ( the husband yells at Bella and jerks her around and has zero background with horses) don’t know horses (she thinks she’s an expert) and they approach poor Bella with constant fear and hesitancy. They have labeled Bella “dangerous” when she seems quite mild and responds to pressure very predictably. Yet the husband shouts at Bella and jerks her face around and then yells about Bella being “crazy.” I wish I could buy or adopt Bella from these people.
All I see is Bella reacting to the owner’s fear and the owner’s erratic movements (her behavior would look so strange and threatening to Bella - as you stated Rick she is acting like a predator). I fear for that poor mare because they don’t appreciate how she is reacting *exactly* to their nervous and erratic body movements that signal “danger” and/or “predator” to a horse. In the other videos her idiot husband is yelling at Bella and jerking her face and calling her names when she does NOTHING out of the norm.
Also Rick thank you so much for pointing out every safety issue that this woman who of course calls herself an expert lmao ignores in a potentially dangerous small stall. All my life my trainers and fellow riders have emphasized safety above all, and it is alarming how people like this woman claim to be experts yet make so many dangerous moves. Thank you for pointing out the safety problems (in addition to her dumb comments about this poor mare that her husband screams at because he knows nothing about horses)
If my horse is eating when I show up at the ranch, he leaves his food to come say hi to me. We are connected without food.
I sure wish we would have internet back when i was 9 learning to ride a Shetland pony. You explanations are spot on and I remember how many times I was thrown off because I didn’t have any idea. I rode him bare back and sometimes with just the harness. He was my Indian pony, “Apache”. Loved that horse no matter how many times he raked me off in pines.🤣.
Anyone can learn something new if, they are willing to listen.
Exactly ..watch a video with a person talking in a unknown language for an hour and imagine how the animals feel
And sometimes there s more than One person talking and etc
Just being constructive: You could skip the "women" comments. I appreciate your horsemanship, but those comments are unnecessary. You could get easily be gender neutral in this video and still use the woman in the video. If you need help with that, send me the script, and I would be happy to edit for you. You need to retain your respect of women if they are going to be respectful of you. Kinda like horses......
I think he needs to come out of the closit.
You want to know what? If you watch all the videos posted on people having problem horses they can't handle, so they take them to a trainer to get help, almost all the trainers are men and 100% of the owners are WOMEN. No guys. ALWAYS WOMEN. And some of the problems they are flummoxed by, the male trainer pinpoints and corrects in minutes. I've watched videos where these chicks were at their wit's end, the trainer corrects the horse once or twice, no problem, the horse recognizes the guy is the boss and immediately becomes obedient. And the women are gobsmacked by that.
The one thing I have picked up from Rick is I now go nuclear when I see anything pink around horses. I also can't stand these videos of busty young women in skin tight clothing smiling seductively at the camera while slithering all over their horse as if it was a giant sex toy. Wish the horse would bite them a good one or kick 'em into the next county.
Rick's not the only one fed up with women treating horses like Yorkie-Poos. A while back I stumbled on a video of Clinton Anderson getting real honest about women and horses. And Clinton deals with and trains tons of chicks. Think Rick is tough? Clinton was downright brutal. And I wasn't aghast - I agreed with him. I was laughing like hell, but the dude was right on target. I'm sure the video is still up on CZcams somewhere. He made Rick sound like an absolute practitioner of chivalry, he did.
Bravo Rick!! Great lesson . I hope people heard you out. Well donell
Excellent point about the time it takes for a horse's eyes to acclimate to different light. So important to remember.
Oh my gosh the entire time you could tell the horse didn't like any of that. I'm surprised she didn't get kicked and the poor horse didn't bolt
@@cassofstupidity5168 The previous owner had to have handled her. Even if they drugged her into the trailer she had to have had some type of contact
@@cassofstupidity5168 Based on this video, she can do even better by learning how to pay attention to what the horse is saying. I didn't see her respond or "answer" the horse in any way. I didn't see any two-way communication going on.
@@cassofstupidity5168 Being able to hear constructive criticism is a benefit I wish she learn for her horses sake. She may not like Rick's delivery but what he says is the truth & it works. She totally did NOT read Bella correctly at all & I cant believe she actually posted this video.
I didn't rescue my first dog until I read a couple of books on dog training. Then I learned more and more. Same with owning my horses. Owning a horse is so much more involved. But wait...She DID give release... at the absolute wrong moment. While she was trying to get the mare to come out of the stall, she pulled and released, and pulled and released while the horse resisted and just stood there. Poor horse is being taught that if she resists, the pressure will go away. Try light steady pressure until the horse moves one foot in the direction asked for, and release that very moment. The horse learns from the release of pressure. But if you release before the horse makes the correct move, or lean in the desired direction, not good! Eventually you'll get two feet moving, then three, then four. Knowledge of what motivates a horse, in conjuction with patience will pay great dividends. But only in small increments. There's only one reason why a horse rears: it feels that it cannot go in any other direction. The horse must be able to move it's feet. If it thinks it cannot go right, left, forward our backward, it will go up; there's no other option. Poor horse. Ignorant human.
Yes, this is what Rick has been making videos on and about for like 12 years now and for some reason, so many people don't get it, won't get it, even people that claim to watch him will still say they need help even though he has thousands of video, AND a website ALL free, FULL of info... And yet, he's still able to make hundreds of videos full of dummy people doing stupid things... It's almost amazing. AND these same people will ALSO spend thousands on special trainers, special courses, etc... And yet here's Rick giving it out for free... BUT because he doesn't sugar coat and use nice pretty pink powder puff words, they'll call him and jerk and not listen.... Or if they do, it's because nothing else has worked. It's crazy how pussifies people have become AND would rather stay ignorant listening to fluffy pink powder puff words. It'd be funny if these people weren't so dangerous not only to horses and themselves, but to society as well because they drag this mentality everywhere.... Look at the way kids are raised today and how they behave, because they treat the horses the same way they treat their kids, not firm, use fluffy language, etc... My dad sounds more like Rick, lol!
The trainer that taught me horsemanship, whom is on par with Rick, bought a bunch of horses from another country because they where cheaper there. She was supposed to "fix them" so she could sell them. One horse came back because the horse didn't stand still when you where mounting him. The trainer HAD "fixed" the problem but the horse had learned when with the trainer to stand still because she actually knew what she was doing but the owner couldn't keep up; when you where mounting the horse you had to stay on the stirrup until the horse realized that runninig wouldn't get you off but standing still would give release, the owner couldn't do this because of health issue or old wound issue. So the horse ended up back with the trainer, and yes the trainer had told the owner how to do this the correct way, and when the trainer worked with the horse: there was NO PROBLEM, why? Because the problem didn't lay with the horse but with the owner. I don't remember if the owner got lessons to "fix" the problem or if the horse returned to the trainer and then was sold to someone who could actually train the horse and keep up.
The trainer really cared WERE and with WHOM the horses ended up with so they could have good homes.
I hope she will look and listen, thanks for your valuable input and observations.
I agree that this training absolutely could be done better (or worse - obviously). She is not giving release - more than 3 minutes in, she has not released pressure at any point, despite having plenty of opportunity to do so. The woman is sneaking around, like too many people would do around nervous/young/untrained horses. The horse is flinching when she moves towards it, and when the rope moves, which tells me it is not ready for the halter. I guess people tend to be goal oriented - in this case getting the halter on - and skipping steps to get there.
@@EV-jg7gs I expect the trainer to help the horse to find the right answer (being calm and responsive) by doing baby steps to get to the goal.
@@annbolynn7797 Easy now. I never said that I know everything. I watch videos like this to increase my understanding of horses. Sometimes it teaches me something about people too.
This poor bloke is equally under this woman's boot. I feel sorry for both.
She's treating the horse like she would a naughty grandchild: all love and patience and lollipops. There, good girl, Now you'll love me and then you'll listen.
Damn strait up
I like the analogy with the house and training. If I’m ever able to go back to volunteering with horses , I’ll definitely think of what I can to do so I understand them better.
I actually watched this video before I saw it here and I could hear you in my ear talking about things that could be done better. I dont understand how anyone could think you are picking on her! People need to get thicker skin! Love your videos!
17:22 It is crazy how she is aware that horses dont understand humans yet she doesnt even try to understand the horse.
Thank you. Finally someone who notices the poor reading of the horse and the poor pressure and release. Tara loves her horses very much and has her own way of training (lots of time and patience and has 2 older horses that have turned out very nicely). I like your view, with building trust and progressing with smaller steps (desensitising).
She’s very lucky the horse was so passive and accepting
E J looks like it’s the other way around :)
@theeuropean 6 I know what you mean and I feel the same way. I think you mistaken what I ment with my use of the word patience. I ment that she does not rush the horse with the expectation that at the end of the day her horses should be fully schooled. Yes she visits often but she does take her time. I mean sadly far too many equestrians nowadays have onrealistic expectation and want to go fast too quickly (forcing the horse with whips, kicking, etc.)
Gosh I feel afraid just watching her cornering that poor horse,I'm waiting for it to strike,
@@EV-jg7gs obviously she doesn't
@@EV-jg7gs No she doesn't E J.
And ever the Lady says...
Good girl, good girl, good girl 🤦♀️
People in these comments really need to get perspective. If you actually go watch her videos you'll see what her horses are like and the situation with these two youngsters. She also has a Friesian and Arabian horse which ride really well and are very well cared for. Who cares if her training methods aren't the same as yours, nobody knows everything you can't predict everything either. I personally wouldn't use some of her training methods and there's some of Rick's I wouldn't use either. And that's fine, because all parties have the horses best interest at heart, so let them get on with it. It's a learning experience and sometimes very quick sudden accidents happen before you even get a chance to react. By all means call out abusers and idiot riders but the equine community is already pretty toxic, the least people can do is be supportive of others who actually do care for their horses
@Warstar I think you should re-read my comment. You can absolutely think that and have that opinion (on someone you've never met?), like i said I don't agree with some of her training but you should take that hate out on someone that actually abuses horses..rather than slander someone whose horses are well looked after from what we can see in videos.
Warstar another rude comment from you, what on earth is your problem? Or is it that you lack vocabulary!
@Warstar yes, she doesn't take advice too well, she did a video of people trolling her, when infact people were making suggestions and asked her why she would do or not do something.
Sha Sha Do you remember what that video is called? I’d like to see it
@@KingsMom831 Friesian & Arabian Horse Spa czcams.com/video/SiCDsc-T4Ds/video.html
I'm surprised she didn't say good girl when it flipped over lol
lol
Gotta be honest watching this is torture to a practiced woman !20 years ago I may have been the same but much less pressure for so long
Thank you, I ride a horse that runs away sometimes when I tack him up. I feel so stupid and now know I was putting way to much pressure when tacking and not allowing him release. I wasn't listening to what the horse was trying to communicate, I was teaching him a bad lesson. Next time I will tack him more slowly allowing for him to release the pressure from me during the time of me saddling.
So one thing taught to the horse "good girl" = "expect something bad to happen to you". Hope the lady takes the clues and turns things around. And takes the elderly man out of harms way - away from the bucked and horse.
What an absolutely sweet-natured horse!
Great video and commentary! That was tough to watch. So much wrong in the original video. That is an extremely patient and good natured horse.
I’ve been following Tara for a long time. She’s very caring and loves her horses. This filly has had a bad start with almost zero handling. She’s virtually a wild horse but she is improving every day. She bought the chestnut and decided to buy Bella so they would have company.
Hayek Friedman it’s not how I do things and I get what rick is saying 100%. I just know she cares for them extremely well and maybe you don’t like her technique but it’s still better than all the abusive shit I see.
Caring, loves her horses... BUT NO KNOWLEDGE OF TRUE HORSEMANSHIP. This constitutes IGNORANCE. Horses are not pets.
Diana Craddock horses are not pets?? Odd thing to say. They deserve to be treated well just like our household pets.
@@persephonemaeve2704 Then let the horse come in your house with the other pets! Study horses in herds, herd behaviour, then hopefully you'll begin to understand the ethology of the horse. You need to understand how and why horses behave the way they do. They are not human. They are not canine. They are not feline, etc... They are equine. Observe and learn.
I stand corrected, ethology..not psychology; with thanks to Hayek Friedman ;-)
@@hayekfriedman9078 thank you, never too old to learn ;-)
Always let the horse come to you.
When i was little i never used to but a halter on my pony when i was brushing her or getting ready to ride and i remember my teachers getting really mad because they said it was dangarous to leave her head free when i was in there, but i never had a problem and neither did the horse i dont think, but i remember when i stopped being assigned her and i came back a few years later she had gutten very aggressive and i wasnt able to work with her anymore
I swear, you sound exactly like a guy I grew up with. Very Common sense being explained because it’s completely lost these days. Thanks, I’m enjoying your videos 😊
I noticed that she has alot of "hard cuts" in her videos, would love to see the footage that's cut out....
The horse also got release when the woman stopped looking at her, though still touching the horse. I think a lot of pressure is relieved when you stop looking directly at a horse. I often will step away from my gelding while grooming and tacking up to give him a break. He seems to appreciate that a lot more than strokes or scratches.
So sad, they both need to give up the horse experiment and give him to someone who knows what they are doing.
@@salt7625 maybe they need horses already trained if they are not knowledgeable, before they or their green horses get hurt.
They already gave up the really nice little chestnut & her excuse was it’s to spoiled, no she just hasn’t got a clue so easy to give it back to people she got it from, the poor thing never had a chance with her, it hadn’t had anything done with it but learn to lead. She seriously hasn’t got a clue. You don’t throw them away cause you don’t know what your doing. Hopefully it will find a good home and god help the filly that she made flip over. No idea, they think they know it all and wipe your comments when she doesn’t like being told some constructive criticism
@@jencoss814 she sounds like an arrogant person with money
Love your videos. I'm a strong believer that humans need to be tested for common sense before being responsible for a horse,dog,cat, A Child! How this lady isn't in a hospital is amazing. I'm sure she also has a dog at home that is the first k9 with human emotions. This world is full of idiots that modern day medicine and laws allows to live.
More that we humans need to be educated and shown the skills of what you are calling common sense. If society and parents stamp out a persons intuition from their birth on, no wonder they shut down and cannot see or understand what common sense is!
There are some great people helping us see and learn these skills with horses… Rick here, Steve Young, Klaus Hempfling, and others.
On human to human, two women have helped multitudes of parents and educators learn and practice congruent communication with children and each other: Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.
Then, learning the language of the land through Permaculture is yet another level of win win education. There are a few very wonderful teachers in that field who you can easily find when you look up permaculture.
So much good out there that we can tune into, learn, and share!
My husband has no problem telling me when I am wrong, sometimes I think he enjoys it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol he does, even if he won't admit it.. :)
@@ThinkLikeAHorse he'd admit it proudly! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He really loves it when I have to admit he's right about something!
I'm a new horse owner. Gotta start somewhere. Good content. Good criticism. More solutions or things you would do are very helpful.
I recommend watching Steve Young’s videos for learning what to do, and how do actually do the pressure release to communicate well with your horse.
Klaus Hempfling also knows the body language of horses, and maybe Rick has a list of others who could be helpful.
Tara had the filly a day or so. She had just bought her. The filly had not been handled by humans very much at all so was basically wild.
beanybobs even MORE of a reason to have a better understanding of pressure & release
She is not wild, Tara was stroking her at the breeders, even had a camera in her face didn't faze her at all!
If you go an take responsibility for such a difficult thing you should at least know what you are doing. Otherwise you are putting everyone in danger
I've only watched a few of your videos, but I have already learned alot. I had a buckskin filly quarter horse many years ago now,and used a true hackimore on her. It worked out really well. No one ever really taught me horse behavior or communication, but I did pick up on several key things instinctively. That probably saved my horse a lot of stress. I love learning the information that you are teaching!
I dunno man. I think they treat their horses well. We don't always have to criticize.
Nobody says she's abusing her horse. But she is creating dangerous situations by her ignorance. She's incredibly lucky the horse didn't freak out sooner, in the stall. Or flipped onto her husband!
---He is critiquing this video, not judging their body of work. ‘Criticize’ is not the same as ‘critiquing’.
Anyway, I don't know anything, so I shouldn't judge anyone.
We have to critique wrong things so we all can learn from it!
go watch the first video with diablo she hits him and is frustrated, keeps pushing him back even when he's not moving, that's not good treatment, that's ignorance
Why is it not instinctive to the woman’s own sense of self preservation to NOT back that horse into a corner? My gosh! I bet even my non horsey husband would realize that.
Been watching Tara for a long time. She is from UK. I do not have a horse. Thankyou Rick for putting all my thoughts in order as what you have said I agree too. Continue to do what you do. You cant teach an old dog new tricks. I think the old saying goes.
She has the best intention but at no point does she seem to give release in the first minutes.
Title: Andalusian
Woman: "wild horse"
I saw her pull the horse over by not releasing pressure on lead rope. What is scary is anyone following her videos for instruction. I have seen just as many men make just as many mistakes but usually more aggressively.
Clearly, this woman should NOT have a horse, EVER! No way. She knows Nothing! I couldnt stand watching her!
Tara is a lovely lady. I know she would never do anything intentionally wrong. Especially to her animals.
does the horse care about that?
@@doghide in the long run you will never see happier animals
@@hayekfriedman9078 Exactly.
Dorothy Bennett The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I know that she does not intentionally do anything to harm the horses. But I do wish that they would realize how their actions are affecting the horses.
If a horse dies or is killed... NEWS FLASH: It does not care if it was doing intentionally or by accident.
This lady and husband posted the video you did on her. Saying that you had no right posting her video, while they just did the same thing. Free advertising in my opinion.
Guy at the beginning says pressure and release will not teach horses respect and it is respect you need to teach horses. The guy narrating mentions that training horses is the same thing as training lions. So they do not get it. Most commenters are blaming the fact that this yearling was not handled as a foal or haltered trained as a foal.
i almost laughed when i heared the lion thing. How can someone be that stupid and try training methods of the exact oposite type of animal on horses... Daaaamn... sure food works for lions because they have to "work" to get food. therefore if they are doing things right in the wild they get food and its a reward. Horses have food everywhere (grass) so why even consider to work for it...
@@user-lt3qf3dh1n thats not true, because she reposted also ricks commentary on it, wich is legally his.
Lol... yeah I guess it's not an important distinction that a lion is a predator and a horse a prey animal.. of course they would react in exactly the same way to pressure/release.. Stupid 😂
Well, they are extremely stupid people, and I hope they read this and get butt-hurt about it. Brain dead idiots, they shouldn't be allowed to own any kind of animal.
This is a semi-wild filly. She hasn t been handled until this woman bought her and the brown horse.
All the more reason to know what your doing, don't you think?
Doesn't matter she still does not know what she is doing
Actually this woman does know what she’s doing and has done a fantastic job with training her other 2 older geldings. She’s from the UK
@@lottylou9057 She clearly doesn't. Stop spreading your ignorance.
Yea ok and?
I'm late to this party, seen another video this owner has put up... Horse was spooking cos he's forelock was trapped under the strap n was flapping in front of his right eye everytime he moved his head.. She didn't even notice n took the spooking horse onto the road....its pure luck she hasn't had a serious accident
These videos are why I subscribed to you years ago. Your insight and precision when talking about this kind of issue is completely unique and your no-bullshit approach from the horses perspective is how everyone should think when dealing with animals. You turned me from an inexperienced horse lover to a person who actually understands them so much better now. Thank you, please never stop educating.
Same results for me. I owe him a huge thank you.
👍👍
👍👍
The horse is nervous by her even talking and see how it's prancing around
Would love to hear you advise of what should be done in the spots where they're making mistakes.
He DID!! Back up, give more room, relieve pressure (i.e. a reward, in a horse's mind). Allow little rewards (nibbling grass). Pay ATTENTION to the horse, not the people around you! Don't have multiple people there while training a horse. Learn abt & watch for horse-specific body language. Be quiet. Don't put obstacles in the pathway you want the horse to take. Stop ganging up on the horse. Stop acting sneaky like a stalking predator would. "Good girl" does nothing to teach or calm the horse. Relieve pressure. Back off! Give more room.
@@leiatyndall8648 nice summary!!!
I agree with you, Rick. Every prospective horse owner should study "horsethink" before they buy. It would save a lot of horses and horse owners from becoming injured or ruined from the lack of proper and humane horsemanship education.
Tara is from the UK and has two other horses that she has trained beautifully. She doesn't wear or use any equipment that is pink, which we know you hate. Rick you should go back and watch the video of when Bella was brought to her. Also, the other yearling she got from the same breeder and criticize them for selling horses that have not even been weaned, let alone handled before being sold. She had never even seen grass before this. Normally I don't comment on your videos, but I do think you were a little harsh without having any background knowledge.
I get where you come from with this but he looks at the situation, which is not handled well. He is not here to look up someone's history to judge it but to look at a certain situation and he then educates us on what was wrong THERE. It's totally reasonable that she's not doing everything wrong and she's probably doing a lot of things right but in that tiny situation, she just didn't.
he was not harsh at all. he simply stated what she did wrong and how she caused the horse to flip.
Did he realize that the yearling had never been on grass before and that there are bulls in the pasture right on the other side of that fence that she had never seen before. Either one of those things could have made her rear up. Also her hooves have never been trimmed and that could have made her lose her footing.
Terri Nelson ok boomer💕✨
@@ladycpht61 By discribing the setting that made that young filly panick, reared up and fall, you proved even more how this woman knows nothing about horses!...
Tara SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ALL OF THAT and adjust her taming/training accordingly and certainly NOT say she doesn't know what happened!!!...
Women often treat horses like dogs with goo goo talk baby talk and petting. Dogs like that sort of thing but I don't think horses do.
I don't think horses even like being petted. They just tolerate it.
