Support our efforts by sourcing your Wood-Fired, Organic, Pure, Vermont Maple Syrup from ruggedridgeforest.com/ !
While growing our team of standardbred/percherons, we've returned to Ohio to buy a second horse from our Amish friend we met at the last auction. We use these horses to log in order to produce our wood-fired, organic, pure Vermont maple syrup.
This video is a lot of voice over and B-roll. While I asked Andy's permission to film, I did not want to stick a camera in his face or record every moment of our interactions together. Instead I've recounted the tale of our experiences over videos of us collecting the horse, Hugo, that I ultimately purchased.
This video also includes a section demonstrating our friend Andy haltering this 2 year old for the first time and breaking him to lead. He puts on an impressive display of Amish horsemanship!

Thanks so much for watching! Head to ruggedridgeforest.com/ for some wood-fired maple syrup, or follow us on FB and Insta @ruggedridgeforest for more on the farm content!
Thanks

His horsemanship is true & so rare these days. Everyone has their own style but I don't think he pushed him too hard, the colt learned quickly and without injury or trauma !

@peterdorscheid5652 2 года назад

I've bought a few horses, and had 2 teams trained by "Old Order" Mennonite people, who live basically the same way as the Amish, and I've always been happy with what I got. They aren't as fat as some of my others horses, but thats on account that they work them, not due to lack of food.. and I've never noticed any abuse in the animals..

Basically it's so my understanding that just like everywhere else, there's good and bad owners. However the Amish aren't exactly out there doing PR so the only things that commonly make it out into the English world about their animals is the bad stuff. It's the abuse that makes the news, not any of the good stuff.

They look fantastic. If you think that those horses are very underweight because of the barely showing rib cage, I can assure you that that is perfectly normal amongst well-managed horses. I don’t know if you have only been around overweight equines and have not seen an in-shape well taken care of horse, but I can assure you that these horses are NOT emaciated in the least. They are simply a wild herd and are much more lean than your average lesson horse.

Mixture of a sweet easy going horse and good respectful horsemanship, like someone else commented I have heard stories of the Amish being abusive to their horses and seen pictures of their animals covered in scars and sending them straight off to slaughter rather than giving them treatment for problems so it’s nice to see someone taking care of theirs and they all look healthy and well. Keep us updated on this gelding he’s lovely xx

@kayliedansie5213 2 года назад

I’m not digging in this guy or anything, he seems super nice and good with horses. But rather than call this talent, I would mostly say that that is a very gentle bred horse who has an exceptional demeanor and a high tolerance to stressful situations. He’s obviously a really great little gelding to accept that. Just wanted to give credit where it’s due. A lot of people think it’s the trainer and they forget to notice how compliant the horse is being.

@susantunbridge4612 9 месяцев назад

standardbreds are highly under-rated, mixed with Percherons they'd be amazing. And yes, horses try very hard to please. It's heartbreaking to see how much they will go through for mankind, always trying to please. I have to say that although not all Amish abuse their horses -- I don't like the way horses are used like machines on the highways by the Amish. It's time to stop using horses instead of automobiles just because of a religion. It's unfair to the animals and can only result in wrecked bodies. Brings back old terms like shoulder-shot, too much pounding use on hard surfaces results in ruined joints, founder - it shouldn't be legal. Constant use on highways is just cruel. What it does to their feet I can't imagine. The Amish also use a lot of used-up American Saddlebreds, willing creatures, who are often ground into the earth practically before they're taken to a truck bound for Canada. There is a rescue in Penn that specializes in American Saddlebreds, many bought from the Amish who have a kinder outlook than some for their "done" horses, have finished using them, so they go for meat price. I hate to see how stiff the poor things are, and how hard they try to please.

@cynhanrahan4012 2 года назад

Great display of horsemanship here. Good breeding on the horse, has a nice temperament to start. Andy is not being rough at all, he's treating that horse with great respect.

I wish my grandmother (1900-1979) was still alive to watch this. She started training horses at age 10 on her father’s farm in Bristol, NY. Her goal, impossible in those days, was to be an 5:29 exercise rider at the racetrack in nearby Canandaigua. Seeing a horse treated roughly was the one thing in life that she could not endure. It was the only time I saw her emotionally lose it. Andy’s horsemanship in this video was like watching her description of training her horses. She required absolute quiet and no “help” from her father and brother. She had already spent a year fostering a close relationship with each horse before applying any tack.

What a beautiful red roan you got yourself! Beautiful guy with such calm eyes, reminds me of the horse I had but mine was a chestnut/bay. Got him as a untouched stud when he was 2, broke him myself and won a few ribbons in some fun obstacle challenges, red roans are one of my favorite colors on a horse

@flutterbree 2 года назад

idk what it was about watching an Amish-dressed guy casually walking around with a Mountain Dew can at 14:00, but it really blew my mind for a sec before I internalized what you had said about different sects of Amish and how people still carry on the general idealogy of Amish living with some tweaks here and there. I really enjoy this, and I'm hoping to learn more

@ruggedridgeforest7775 2 года назад

Were all just people doing people things. Alotta folks are intimidated by meeting folks who are different, but you quickly come to realize how much you have in common.

Had a green horse that fought getting shoes like crazy. My dad went to a Amish farmhouse and asked if they shoes horses. A young man, old man and 6 yr old boy came along. They had the boy bite the ear while hanging by the horses neck and the horse froze. Those guys knew exactly what the horse was thinking BEFORE he thought it. They made shoeing the incredibly difficult horse look stupid easy!!!

@Polopony20. Год назад

didnt tyeach the horse to accept shoeing though, just scared him with pain and using a freeze response to your advantage, only teaching the horse that the only way out is to internalize the panic. gross. That kind of training is never successful in the long term and leads to horses exploding when they are finally given a choice instead of being driven like a slave.

Currently watching this from Hong Kong. No idea how I got to this video but it was very calming and informative. Those horses are beautiful. I used to ride back in the day but the horsemanship shown by Andy is clearly something that's just in his bones.
