I have heard that many times . When I was younger I used to 💕 love to fly 🕊️ and the only way I knew how to do that was to ride a horse 🐎 at a gallop. It was just so free feeling .I was always happy to get in the saddle so the horse 🐴 was probably happy.
Facts there are a pair of horses I work with, I had a really bad day and was really hurt and distressed before training, one of them was all over me, the other was like "aw hell no, I'm not dealing with you today"
My uncle always told me that horses can feel a single fly on them, so they will feel anything you do or tell them. A lot of ppl are rough with them and it really only takes a small amount of correction to get them to do what you want. Also.. if they do something wrong, it's because you told them to. They are responding to what you are asking. So make sure not to confuse them with your signals or actions🥰
I'm actually just saying what my uncle said while i was growing up. A lot of ppl that are not fully in the the horse community will squeeze their legs because they are holding on and scared and the horse will react to it. (Just like you showed.) So the person is yelling stop or slow down when you are showing them a different signal they may associate with something else. This wasn't meant to teach a horse trainer. It was saying .. hey this is the thing I remember, I was told to be aware of my own actions. 100% of the time...no, a professional will know better of course.
I currently have 2 horses and one of them is completely bitless and I just ride her in her halter because she reacts better to it. I also sometimes ride her bareback but recently I bought her an English saddle with and extra pad for sway back because she’s old. She’s almost 30 but still loves to go for trail rides and has plenty of up and go she’s just getting a little crunchy lol. I want to get my other horse completely bitless too but she’s a handful and I’m still working on her training because her old owners had no idea what they were doing and messed her up in more ways than one.
@@paigek9923 you are correct there. Heavy handedness will soon damage a sensitive mouth. My horse was mouth shy when I got him. You normally end up correcting other people's mistakes. Novice rider's instincts are grip on with their legs for dear life....which is the signal to move for the horse, then they'll hang on the reins so tightly telling the poor animal to stop, this just confuses the hell out of them
Train them firmly but very gently. Horses are intelligent and will remember if people are mean to them. Make sure they always have plenty of food and water. If you are new to owning a horse, ask experienced farmers or veterinarian for help. They are gentle but powerful animals. Playing soft music that has a nice melody will help keep them calm while training. I've seen videos where a girl playing a violin & cattle came to fence next to girl to enjoy music
My mare suddenly showed up one morning over a month ago, limping. She had a bad cut all around her pastern with a huge spot that looked like it'd been scalped. After a few weeks of keeping it clean and bandaged some flesh died and fell off revealing that she and a hole right above the coronet that went to her bone. Thankful with vet care and daily bandage changes she's closed that hole and it's working on growing skin over.
@@plainsarahjane1466 comb it for Ross in the ground, ik horses dont sit much but sometimes they do and there could be one sticking a few inches out of the ground
My old mare rubbed her butt on a wooden post & a nail tore a 3 inch gash,not deep, in her rump.. My dad said maybe we should sew it up..(He grew up on a goat farm) I looked at the wound, where it was, & said you do it!!
Sounds like "graveling". Caused by riding them on pavement and running or loping them without shoes in rocky areas. The gravel will work itself up through the hoof to the meat in the cornet and abcess. Then breaks open. Learn how to treat abcesses from your vet or a old cowboy.Take care of your horses hooves and legs. No hoof, no horse!
I like how after you pointed out the scratches, it stood in the back with it's leg up, as if it was like, "You saw those battle scars?!" "Its probably broken and I will need Treats and attention." "Ahh! Nevermind..."
Still safer than a self driving car. At least the horse knows crashes hurt! ¸ Plus it`s nice riding a horse down a trail and having both hands to take pictures or text on the phone. Much more high tech than a tesla
Got to die somehow, riding someone else’s horse is not like your horse. At the end of the day he is an animals and could hurt me. That being said, we are tight partners and he helps me feed my family every day with his hard work and loyalty. Most people will never experience that.
@@charlesbatton7399 You are right. Used to ride other people horses but when I got mine it was vastly different. I remember at least one time where her being my horse and her knowing me so well saved me from serious injuries.
Some more than others, though, lol. Sometimes I think that horsemanship is just learning all the different ways to say, "Yes, you really do have to do that."
Oh… and they are moody! Check in on the mood. They can be frisky one day and morose the next! Sometimes they might actually need a bit of scratch time to get on with you if they are feeling neglected!
@@chronic_payne5669 as long as you don't have horses or train horses,do whatever you want but if you have horses you absolutely should NOT start off with the Alpha Mindset, it just leads to bad partnership with the horse.
These are such great truths. When I was 12 at summer camp the head of the camp let me spend my whole summer at the horse barn because I loved horses more than anything in the world. Our riding master Mr. Butterworth had a horse got stuck in the Barbwire. He nursed that horse along for a month hung her head in a sling and soothe her with cool water and medicine. It made quite an impression on me.I’ve loved horses all my life. And I really appreciate this man. Good work
My 24 yr old appendix mare was a barrel horse before I got her she managed somehow to get a really bad 6" L shaped cut on the back of her front right leg, took 3 months to heal with hair grown back but cant see it unless you know where it is. OH & yes she has shown several personalities in the 10 yrs I have had her lol
Horses are incredibly sensitive animals, who actually have more nerve endings in their skin than we do. The reason they seem so tough is because as prey animals they hide pain and injuries to not appear vulnerable to predators. Just because they dont cry or yelp like a dog doesnt mean they arent in great pain.
Man I've noticed some weirdo's seem to follow your channel.i enjoy you content and I think until you have walked in another's shoe's.etc etc I find a whole lot of what you're saying is common sense.My mother had barrel racing horses.father trail riding and I've been around Tennessee Walkers,Arabians ,and my friend participated in the wild mustang adoption program.those were the most difficult I've seen to train.good luck.love what you're doing.overlook the trolls.they have nothing better to do but criticize because they have no purpose...
Really love this segment from a previous horse owner! Love horses so much. They give back so much with the love and care we give them! I was taught and believed and practiced a horse was meant to be ridden no t a lawn ornament. Thank you for alluding to this in so many words! Look forward to more of these.
Not to be contrary, but I saw a horse playing with a ball and I mean it when I say he looked like a giant dog. Another horse, apparently this horse was spoiled rotten and had a fan. Her owner turned it off and the look on that horses face was just priceless. And she didn't take another bite until it was turned back on 🤣 They're fun to watch but I'll leave their care and upkeep to people who know what they're doing. Have a good one!
Horses are beautiful, intelligent animals. They definitely need training & to be understood like any other animal, & it’s VERY important to respect them in the way they need to be respected! Remember each one has their own personality so what may work great for one may not work at all for another. If you show them that YOU are the boss & that YOU will always have their back (no pun intended) & show them love, kindness, & a strict attitude towards disobedience as their leader, you will end up with some amazing horses!
I really enjoy your channel. I have learned a lot more than I thought would. I thought I knew a lot but, thankfully, I learn every day with you. You are a great teacher and horseman.

Animal husbandry . Keep teaching folks, people need someone to compare. I worked for Ray Hunt,abd Tom Dorrance for 3 yrs in cali. Your doing a good thing to help folks. C.Cooper
People are gonna take that “you HAVE to dominate” so out of context. It’s true that you have to be the dominant figure in the relationship with your horse, but most people take that shit way too far and it ends up being abuse.
"Horses are tougher than you think." When I was in h.s. I was helping be an extra pair of hands. I was holding the reins while she went to get something. The horse moved it's foot a little, and then wound up standing on my foot. It didn't hurt too bad yet, but I'd heard scary stories and started freaking out a little. I tried to coax it, which did nothing. So finally, I leaned back as far as I could and shoved myself into the side of the horse as hard as I possibly could. The only thing the horse did was slightly lift it's foot up.j
Why do you immediately assume this guy is mean to his horses when he uses the word dominate? Maybe he just means you need to be the boss in the relationship?
@@jillwisland680 don't act dumb you know what he means. There is a big difference between being a more dominant figure in a partnership and "dominating" an animal.
@@sausageswiper6657 and I am giving him the benefit of the doubt as to which one he is referring to. Some people don't use words the same way and from what little I have seen of him I can't accuse him of being "abusive" to his animals.
Lol I mean seriously Jill don’t give some troll named Sausage Swiper the time or day. After reading his comment first thing came to mind was idiot. Enough said.
My mom grew up in Kentucky on a farm, she is half cheerakee, and part of the Hatfield's, we grew up in Connecticut, she had the best garden, and she made quilts, could sew I called her a hillbilly, she got married at 14 had me at 15, that woman was so amazing, and smart. She knew a lot about horses, cars, everything, I miss her
If you’re around a horse, they shouldn’t kick you as long as they know you’re there, the media portrays them wrong, just keep your hand on there body while you walk behind them and you should have no problems
I knew someone who was 5'3" tall and that was a dental hygienist for horses. She would complain about the horses deciding to lean on her rather than stand up on their own feet because she was so small. She'd have to frequently move to make the horse hold up its own body weight or fall down to make them stop testing her.
My Red Wolf German Shepherd has her moments! Same with my daughter; I shouldn't have treated her like a friend, constantly defending her, being manipulated by her. ■ Now she is withholding my two-year-old grandson and depriving me of his brother, who will arrive in four months. Please pray for me and/or send me positive thoughts and vibrations! Thank you, Lisa I Believe in Miracles.
All you need to do is watch the way a lead mare acts in a herd. She dominates them. Just like in a pack of wolves/dogs the alpha does the same. That is different than cruel. If a horse is stepping on you and getting in your personal space you back them off with assertiveness. You dont ASK, YOU TELL. Them give them a bit of praise for listening. Pressure and release.
A leader shouldn’t “dominate” that mindset has been proven to be wrong. A leader should be someone the horse looks to for guidance, not someone the horse should be scared of making mistakes around. If your horse is being pushy that’s on YOU not them because YOU have not showed them right from wrong, you just get Pissed at them and expect them to understand. And why is it that you people are so against giving your horse a reward? Why are you so against giving your horse a reason to WANT to do what you ask rather then have them do what you want in fear of your actions.
I dont think "dominating them" is the right term for this. I think there needs to be a balance between being strict and loving. You obviously don't want your horse becoming a spoiled demanding brat but its still okay to be a friend to them and love them. I kinda like to think of it as a parent-child relationship, parents don't dominate their kids they lead them and teach them and love them. Once you have their respect and trust then the sky's the limit. 🥰
Horses are physically incapable of exploiting or plotting. They literally don’t have that part of the brain, (frontal lobe). They are physically incapable of plotting against you.
Very true , it's disposition changes also . A horse has days like we do , some good some bad and also feel cranky at times . Patience is your best tool .
That is so true about their wounds! Ive seen some that looked absolutely horrible but for the horse, it was like a minor scratch. Even those that look so deep healed up just fine😬
I watched some hand gun reviews today and now my shorts have a bunch of your ranch videos. Pretty sure I’m a certified rancher now. When do I start? In all seriousness. Great clips 😁
They’re just babies, big ol babies that you love , love again then love more. I love my horses, most important animals in my life and I’d do anything for them, just like my dogs.
Definitely agree with leaving *most* wounds to heal on their own. Rinsing with clean water and applying a barrier like vaseline or silver spray can go a really long way.
I agree with everything except the second, my horse is my best friend and we are super give and take. She kinda keeps you on your toes because if you are doing something wrong and keep pushing without asking correctly she will lay you out but if you set her up right she gives everything she’s got. I know it’s not for everyone but personally I love that sort of attitude because I know when I’m doing good or bad.
When I was a kid, my buddies had some horses they had grown up with. Their parents got them as fillies when the kids were very young, and they grew up with the horses. We could stand behind those horses, play with their tail, pull on em, anything. They would NEVER hurt one of us. When my buddy has broken his arm, his girl (her name was Pony) would put her head between his legs, and lift him up so he would slide down onto her back. Amazing creatures, and incredibly intelligent. Pisses me off when someone is super rough on a horse, it’s just not necessary.
Out here in Colorado in ranching areas or Cowboy Country we love our animals like you obviously do, and Hourses are as stubborn, playful, SMART and cleaver as any cat. They learn fast and remember.
I didn't realize horses needed other horses around for socialization until I started driving cross country. I always noticed horses bunching up together to hang out.
If I came into some money I would love to buy a ranch land and buy some horses I think they are some of the most majestic, strong, and beautiful animals.
One thing I do know, is that a rich man with a horse, will soon become a poor man with several horses!
Man this hit home..🤦♂️
😂 true! 🤣
Can we thank the ex wife for this?...
If you want to make a small fortune with horses, start with a large fortune...
It's called horsepoor, grew up that way!
If you are in a bad mood, the horse is going to sense it. It makes them nervous. They know your mood way before you get in the saddle.
Interesting, I would like to learn more about this.
@Seph X that goes with most animals. Most animals are probably better at sensing emotions than people are.

There's an older guy that plays the piano to elephants and they start swaying and even have favorite songs. It's really beautiful.
Not necessarily very gently. Sometimes you have to be brutal with them.
Firm and gentle are literally antonyms
They are living things with feelings , good days and bad!

Even a smallish horse can carry a 250 lb person 10 miles a day. They are tough.

A leader shouldn’t “dominate” that mindset has been proven to be wrong. A leader should be someone the horse looks to for guidance, not someone the horse should be scared of making mistakes around. If your horse is being pushy that’s on YOU not them because YOU have not showed them right from wrong, you just get Pissed at them and expect them to understand. And why is it that you people are so against giving your horse a reward? Why are you so against giving your horse a reason to WANT to do what you ask rather then have them do what you want in fear of your actions.
I don't know if I would want to be one of his horses. Lol. I always treated my horses with love and more love.

Thank you, for what you do 1👍God bless you and your family. Your friend from Maryville Tennessee
i only focused on the beautiful scenery behind him.....😂
I dont think "dominating them" is the right term for this. I think there needs to be a balance between being strict and loving. You obviously don't want your horse becoming a spoiled demanding brat but its still okay to be a friend to them and love them. I kinda like to think of it as a parent-child relationship, parents don't dominate their kids they lead them and teach them and love them. Once you have their respect and trust then the sky's the limit. 🥰
Horses definitely can feel your inner feelings too I believe. If you're scared of them or timid they'll exploit it
Same if you get on angry.
@@fredbecker607 yes sir
Not all horses.
@@lindawalters1836 but most
Horses are physically incapable of exploiting or plotting. They literally don’t have that part of the brain, (frontal lobe). They are physically incapable of plotting against you.
Very true , it's disposition changes also . A horse has days like we do , some good some bad and also feel cranky at times . Patience is your best tool .
Thank you for caring about your animals
And they are always getting hurt😂
My mare acts like she is a kindergartner when I saddle her. Girl you know how to ride. Haha. But yes. Working them consistently is key!!!
#5 they are terrified of plastic bags attached to sticks!! ❤
BEST information that people do not seem to understand this absolute Truth.. Training continues. ALWAYS..This is THE LAW of The Horse..Thank you!!!🥰
That is so true about their wounds! Ive seen some that looked absolutely horrible but for the horse, it was like a minor scratch. Even those that look so deep healed up just fine😬
I watched some hand gun reviews today and now my shorts have a bunch of your ranch videos. Pretty sure I’m a certified rancher now. When do I start?
In all seriousness. Great clips 😁
The big guy is like, hey don't quit petting me!
Soooo cyooooot
After second video - subscribed straight away. Please keep up the good work
Great info!!
Haven’t seen my horse in 3 weeks. Can’t wait to see him.
I don't know why this dude explaining stuff about horses started appearing on my feed but i like horses so it's nice 🐎🐎
They’re just babies, big ol babies that you love , love again then love more. I love my horses, most important animals in my life and I’d do anything for them, just like my dogs.
I seen a bumper sticker on a Ladies F 250. "I work really hard to support My Horse"
Thanks for your videos
I’ve been surprised, and even amazed, at the way some horses can be oblivious to a major wound.
I'm scared of them lol.
but they're beautiful, amazing animals
Definitely agree with leaving *most* wounds to heal on their own. Rinsing with clean water and applying a barrier like vaseline or silver spray can go a really long way.
I agree with everything except the second, my horse is my best friend and we are super give and take. She kinda keeps you on your toes because if you are doing something wrong and keep pushing without asking correctly she will lay you out but if you set her up right she gives everything she’s got. I know it’s not for everyone but personally I love that sort of attitude because I know when I’m doing good or bad.
I don't know if you realize this but a lot of people that aren't Farmers or ranchers listen to this channel thank you
When I was a kid, my buddies had some horses they had grown up with. Their parents got them as fillies when the kids were very young, and they grew up with the horses. We could stand behind those horses, play with their tail, pull on em, anything. They would NEVER hurt one of us. When my buddy has broken his arm, his girl (her name was Pony) would put her head between his legs, and lift him up so he would slide down onto her back. Amazing creatures, and incredibly intelligent. Pisses me off when someone is super rough on a horse, it’s just not necessary.
He’s absolutely correct , especially with thorobred ! Too smart
Luv em, Miss mine!long time ago.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Long way from the heart. She’ll be fine!!
The best salve to put on a cut or burn, is 1-part sublimed sulfur too 1-part Vaseline. It heals so nicely leaving no scar and hair grows back.
Out here in Colorado in ranching areas or Cowboy Country we love our animals like you obviously do, and Hourses are as stubborn, playful, SMART and cleaver as any cat. They learn fast and remember.
Wow, that's pretty cool and I love horses I think you're so smart very intelligent and loving animals
I didn't realize horses needed other horses around for socialization until I started driving cross country. I always noticed horses bunching up together to hang out.
Makes me want to go buy one
Thank you for not using automatic captions! Looks so good without them.
It's clear these beautiful animals have affection for him, so you know he treats them right.
I hate how ppl think that horses are dumb animals . They are so intelligent and have personalities and are truly amazing ...
All horses have mood’s just like us and they know how you are you are feeling. So always keep that in mind

I admire your lifestyle
If I came into some money I would love to buy a ranch land and buy some horses I think they are some of the most majestic, strong, and beautiful animals.
Man I love learning about horses
