Believe it or not, from my past years of working horses and with trainers Buckskin bred horses are very strong willed. This guy shows that in spades. Once you get him "in gear" so to speak he will be a great horse. Who ever moves forward with him will need to take a good amount of time to properly break him to being ridden. Lots of patience and do not let him buck! Really like this horse! He will test you.....but you will out maneuver his thinking! Never under estimate him
Good on you for mentioning ropes etc. I see so many schools teaching young kids and they NEVER talk about safety, or how to hold a rope correctly and teach kids to hold the horse at the headstall... which is SO DAMN dangerous! It gets my goat EVERY time! I've worked with horses for more than 40 years and I've seen the quietest horses have a moment.
Always interesting and eloquent, Sam. You're so good at breaking things down into smaller pieces and explaining exactly what you're doing and why at each moment. Probably you already know that there are a couple of devices on the market that you can add to your phone or camera to set to focus on a moving object, and it will continue to track that movement -- I think Pivo is one of them. Just in case you hadn't heard of them, I'm putting it here. Not a criticism of what you offer us now, even when you and horse are off camera I can understand from what you say about what is going on, but just in case you weren't aware. Thank you for all you share with us :)
Very cool! He's lovely...happy he gets his start with you. Any idea what his future will hold? Thanks for reminding how to coil the rope for handler safety and the importance of the release. So often that important component is missed by so many. Thanks for bringing us along!
BTW, the landscape behing the round pen is beautiful. Also, I love watching you work with the ropes. It is amazing how much communication you have with the horses using them.
He really is picking up the idea of leading!!! Its so fun to watch you work with him!! You are going to get him so chill in just a few days!! Just one question, what would you recomend for a horse thats scared to back out of a trailer? we dont have a ramp, and my mustang gets so worried when I ask him to back out of the trailer, and he will just freeze. He is extremely good at backing on the ground, and off of planks and such, he just doesn't like not having the feel of ground under him Immediately. omgosh 11:02 he is really starting to listen to you! Look at those ears!!!
Beautiful horse, making great headway with him. In the near future someone is going to own a really nice looking, professionally educated horse. Have to admit Sam, as a red blooded male, my favourite part was your dance routine "shakin your booty..!!" (Lol) john, Western Australia
Lol, studs are always so mouthy. I'll bet that when you got your hands on him he loved being scratched right on the jaw bone. Idk if it was this video or the last, when you were using the stick he was getting into it. After his surgery, will they be releasing him again or training and adopting out?
Does he have a name? Just curious .lol hes such a little pistol..he does have alot of personality. Id love to see his personality when he is tame and after hes gelded. I love his curiocity
2:35: Look, the horse is all ready moving as you asked. Release the pressure of the whip. The horse will keep moving around at the pace you want just off of you body language. You add the whip, and give no release. That is called nagging.
She normally does give a lot of releases with the whip. she is making sure that he CAN move of the whip pressure, since she has been desensitizing him A LOT to the whip. She knows what she's doing! So I wouldn't worry about it! 😀 Plus, she is saying that she wants his energy out. She isn't hitting him with it. I would say she knows best for the horse 😀
At 2:35 she isn't using the whip to keep the horse's pace, she says that she is just trying to toss the rope over him to desensitize him, like she did on the previous videos. That's why she keeps tossing it gently behind him and then on his back.
@@adelecahill37 Incorrect. Watch the video. At 2:35 she is using the whip to maintain the horse's pace. That is nagging. Constant pressure without release. The horse learns on the release of pressure. Don't listen to me. Don't listen to her. Listen to the horse. Then you will see the truth.
