Here here absolutely 💯happy horses when Steve has met them🐎🐎

Yep that one was extra feisty but luckily looks like it was more just scared and used to getting out of things by jumping around than it was actually planning to cause injury. The problem is you don't know in advance plus it could still hurt someone by mistake.

You're SO right!! Releasing after misbehavior creates a lot of dangerous horses!!

And spirited, a wonderful horse to be partnered with ⾺

It really amazes me how much trouble and damage horses manage to do to themselves. But then again, getting locked in tiny closets is not something their wild ancestors had to deal with. ;-P

Love Monty❤🐎❤

Yeah our rescue had one that didn't like the halter at first because he knew he'd probably have to do something challenging. The solution was to have him do only fun things on some of the halter sessions like walking and getting a bowl of hay. Pretty soon he was ok with the halter, knowing there was a chance something fun could happen. Luckily he was also a food hog so he's easy to bribe with just about any kind of food in a bowl. ;-) However I do also think they have a kind of joy and peace every time they really conquer one of their phobias. THey come back super happy and even sometimes ask to go back out again.

@@OnceUponaTimeline agree on that!!! My spooky mule is now the adrenaline junky. He loves facing his fears now that he's learned he can handle it. They are complex , emotional and thoughtful creatures.

@@jennyrosd2003 Yes I'm often surprised by horses since they don't think like humans or cats or dogs (although of course some elements of similarity exist), but it's hard to really know what is in their mind sometimes. Luckily thousands of years of trainers have figured out what works but I think we still guess to some extent on exactly the whys of it.

@@OnceUponaTimeline I have found both horses and canines can view our full persona that a mirror would not ever show. We must know ourselves to help train partnership relationships with both horses and canines. That a predator and prey animal can both know us so well no longer amazes me.

They're generally a lot safer and better for the horses to be in. It takes a lot of effort, all the wobbling around in a trailer, these trailers require less of that

Steve has a video of working the horse backwards through a herd of goats that terrified the horse. Its only a short clip,not a training video.❤

Nope. They literally explain that the last time the horse traveled in the back of the trailer it freaked (traveling in a moving box is not natural for horses & we can't explain it to them) walloping its head on the edge of the door frame & bleeding a lot (as you do from a head wound). This was the trauma that left the horse so terrified of getting in the trailer.

If that is what you saw, then you are commenting on a different video, because this is not that. This was communication, not force. This was being patient and kind, not abusive. This horse was scared of the trailer, since she hurt hersef ( all explained in this video you did not watch). I dont know what you would have chosen, perhaps never had the horse on a trailer again, but for most people, that is not an option., Taking her to a veterinaty clinic is not an option if she wont load. Horses do not like or trust people that are unclear or wishywashy in their communicaton, this goes even more for horses that are scared of something. Not once did he hit her, tap, yes, hit, no, Not once did they gather 5 guys, wrap her in ropes and force her in. By being persistent and calm, giving her all the time she needed, she was shown that going in to the trailer was not the nightmare she thought it was., She went in by herself, and left by herself until she felt ok with staying in there, not once was she whipped for disobedience. How many horses have you trained?

@@Goldenhawk583 👍 I agree, what I liked in this video was showing a gifted horse trainer meeting a spirited horse, and showing it is not always a ‘Horse Whisper’ vignette. Developing a partnership with a horse is a winding trail.

@@artemisXsidecross True, and being assertive is not the same as being brutal or over the top. Where (most) dogs can be bought with a treat, (most) horses will look for your ability to lead , and hence protect, them.

@@Goldenhawk583 Yes indeed. Horses are a more partnership relationship and a recnt one at that. Humans and horses workings as partners are just 5000 years old. Horses were already extict in North America at that time.

Raleigh already ranked one of his videos and gave it an a+.
