Finding out if he is broke to ride. 

Arabians need to be handled right , like Tim is doing. IF they are, they will be the best horse you ever owned. I have had 5, one at a time, and am still riding mine while I am 77 years young. Tim is one of the few that really understands how to handle them. Great job , tim !

Saber is one very fine horse! Following along with his training is really a great experience! His owner is one lucky person!!

Considering the design of a saddle, saddling from the right makes more sense. I was taught, what you do on the left, do on the right also. I like that, flipping the stirrup it gets him used to sensation from the stirrup for a reason. I’m already seeing Saber relax his head in a very short time. Arabians are very intelligent; I think this horse will excel at whatever he’s asked to do. 😊

I am in LOVE with that horse!

Wow! I don’t think I blinked or breathed for both Sabre videos. He is remarkable and your confident handling of him is superb.

That is one smooooth moving horse! Looks like the previous trainer did quite a bit of good work. He does need to get settled to the cows so he pays better attention to you. Beautiful Arabian!

I have never been a big Arabian fan, mostly due to my lack of knowledge of the breed, but this guy is changing my mind. He is still trying to figure out what breed of horse those other animals are.😂 He is a really nice looking horse with a nice demeanor.

Special horse. Love your slow methodical examination of him

Saber's owner is blessed. What a beauty....with a good mind!

I like him A LOT. He clearly remembers his earlier education, is alert to his new surroundings - but interested in them, not paniced by them - and perfectly willing to try to do what is asked of him. He's a _thinker_ , which many Arabs are.

to me, he's the prettiest horse I've seen you work...just lovely...seems to naturally stand square

Looks like this boy has a bright future ahead. Thank you Tim for your sensible and courageous approach.

I was 10 when my dad bought our first horse - a 2 year-old Arab filly. I'm 73 and have had several more, and they are wonderful. I LOL when you said that there was no way you could tire them out; that's the truth. Not surprised at all at this one; alert, sensitive, good mind, responds very well to patient training - yep, that's an Arab.

Saber seems almost perfect. That first time you put the saddle on, it looked like the strap knot went under the saddle instead of clearing. So he jumped a little. Other than that, it was hard to see anything wrong. That is so interesting to see him getting used to the cows. He has so much faith in your leadership even at this early stage.

What a good minded horse can see him thinking an gaining confidence. He's going to be really nice horse with lots of talent. Really like this horse.

I'm impressed, in more ways than one. I've seen only videos so far with you working quarter horses, and as person with mostly Morgans (working type) these days, I've thought "what can he do with a hot/reactive horse". Well dang it, you're great with them. Love your narrative and thought process. I bet you're helping a lot of us who already have worked with a lot of horses, and that's saying a lot. Gorgeous Arab, btw. Not exactly the old style I loved so much, but not too far off. Not a lot to argue with about his conformation. Bet there's at least one mare owner thinking, geez, wish I'd seen him a week before. ;-)

Arabians never forget! They deserve a excellent trainer, they learn the wrong thing as quickly as the right thing. My herd is mostly Arabians, they are all good natured. One of the mares I started was 6 yrs old, barely halter broke, i got that accomplished easily. She was so very good natured and kind. I worked with her for 15 minutes, saddled her and sat on her. I don't recommend that normally, but she was telling me it was ok and it was, she was great!

In general, Arabs are not one of my favorite breeds, but this guy is gorgeous and actually seems to have a good mind. Hope to see more videos of his progression.

He is simply magnificent. The horse is ok, too 😉

You better install a seat belt on that rascal. He looks like he could climb Mt. Everest!

What a picture perfect looking horse 🐴👀. It’s nice to see him settle when you drive him.

Great progress. Bet he'll be a very versatile worker. Yes, and maybe even become "cowy" 😁

I love this horse. He recovers so well from his little spooks doesn’t totally freak out.

I am in love with this horse! 😍 I have never ridden anything but arabs and even on video can see he is special. He is someone's heart horse. He is fantastic.

Good morning guys. Great job Tim , i think he is going to be a really nice horse. looking forward to his complete training. thank you Tim's sister for camera work and as all ways Tim's training.

He definitely looks used to long lining with a circingle and maybe saddle seat, which was why the heavier western saddle startled him for a minute. I worked at an Arabian barn for two years about 20 hours a week- the best experience of my life!❤

I am in love with his brain and try..alot of people I know complain bad about Arabians..but I say they don't understand what true heart ,try willingness, is until they get a Arabians on their side..tho a Arabians is definitely not the breed of horse you want to piss off..they can take thing personally and from there it can become real cowboy..and dangerous..as hard as they will work for you they can go the opposite if pissed off..

What an amazing horse! This kind of first encounter assessment is always a challenge (for both humans and horses), and with all your experience, Tim, you were able to give Saber the frame to show the best of himself, best he could give that very moment. Looking forward to seeing more of this beautifully honest horse!

Love this work, you and the horse !

I usually don’t like Arabians but man is he going to be a really cool guy!

Super nice horse - and I'm not a big fan of Arabians. I'd use him for endurance. As you said - you can't tire an Arabian out.

What a good boy. Such a good personality.

Them cows are callin to him. Wonder what he'd do if you let one in.

He knows his stuff been here before. Moves beautifully

You have a couple of really nice, interesting horses in lately. Very well explained and executed. Keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing Tim and Malinda. ❤️

Wonderfull horse - Excellent trainer! Thank you so much!

Footnote: Advice owners to purchase a semi-tree saddle to fit an Arab-backed horse.

I almost missed this video cause I was looking for "Part 2" in the title. :)

He just doesn't seem to know what to make of those cows. But he seems to have a very good head on him, especially for an Arabian who are nickname the dragons for a reason. He seems like a nice level-headed horse.

Hey Tim, I got a 10 yr old Arabian mare your welcome to break … 😉

This is going to make a great horse. He's got a good mind

He's such a good boy. He seems fairly laid back, like he's got a great head.

Great training session with Saber he'd win the Tavis cup endurance race hands down that Arab power and stamina ❤

He seems happy to follow your decisions in spite of his anxiety about the cows. Nice at the end where he was getting more relaxed about the cows and becoming straighter on the circle (following the circle ,not counter bent). Might he be a good cow horse? Or is he too good natured to want to push them around?🐂🐂🐂

He’s absolutely beautiful!

I'm glad you explained the 'use of the cows'

He is awesome.

Btw...sorry for "getting lost in my memories " I love the way you theat him, and you're correct.... Arabians arevery smart and can work and run forever. ❤

Mr. tim, I like him a lot. You are working with a horse 🐎 that he doesn't like it a lot. Have a nice day, tim, a Anderson and ranch and horse training

Beautiful, good minded horse. Best of luck with him!

Gorgeous horse

What a beauty.

Looks like he's doing great. I have had friends that have not had good luck with arabians. I look forward to more videos of Saber.

I was not hopeful after the first video. But he proved me wrong in this one. I have not been around Arabian’s.

He’s gorgeous. Great mind! Seems to be able to multitask. Watch cows and mind you at the same time.

Eye candy. Nice horse

What a pleasure to watch. Great job on your part and his. Arabs are misunderstood a lot of the time. Looking forward to more videos. Thank you.

The saddling went smoothly enough, period. It would have gone smoother had his attention been on the saddle, not the cows. Personally, I think not turning him away was a disservice to him. Just my opinion. At any rate, i am now subscribed.

Man I like this horse!!!

Tim, is he a Polish Arabian?

again, very nicely done.

@timandersonhorsetraining although i was taught how to castrate horses in school, i never got to follow a horse from long-time stud to gelding for any length of time. I know right now there must be all kinds of crazy hormone ups and downs for him, so soon after gelding. How long does it usually take to even out and the edge to come off of a horse like this, in your experience? Thanks always for such great videos.

He's awesome and totally fascinated with the cows

My Arabian Stallion which I had sense he was 18 mon had such a good mind that my 5 y.o. could handle and a dream to train.

Looking for more videos of Sabre! The only kind of saddle I wanna see on him is one that is light and small and sophisticated .

Very smart and willing, even tho I'm not Arab fan

Jeez Ur a good trainer

People if he goes with it just sitting there you'll be chast the flying saddle or it land on you toe good to strap up not super tight very expensive horse Aribs are so smart if got calm training

Beautiful Saber❤❤❤

I like him. He does seem to be a tall Arabian but then it is harder to judge size from video

I want to see you put the cows and him in the arena to mingle and get it over with. He might be a good ranch horse in disguise.

First time the cinch was under the saddle so that dug in his back that why he moved off

The Arabian has a shorter back due to less ribs. You can really see it there.

He broke.

What a beauty

Hard to believe the owners had no idea if he was trained or not. Someone sure took time to get him started and I guess some trainers don't communicate with their clients. He has a lovely mind and he is certainly intrigued with those cows.

That horse is distracted 100% by the cows. Not reacting to the saddle at all which is good, But he is NOT looking at the saddle. He is looking everywhere but you

Hes been trained. Very well behaved. Just doesnt know cows

I noticed his tail up a lot. Is that nerves or the breed? Do they carry their tails up a lot? I really liked him.

Scared of cattle in pen

Lol... so typical Arabian stallions with ALOT of Testosterone. 😂 Reminds me of my Arabian El Pepas...❤ Just so incredibly smart and just cannot " bother" about ANYTHING but HAVING FUN!!!; and showing for "The Ladies".... lol...😂 I had to "cut him", (which I usually HATE doing); but every time another horse got close to him while riding; he just "FORGOT that he had a rider, and started "showing" or "fighting". I've had stallions and breeding mares, for MANY YEARS; but I couldn't get him to "stop" losing his head ", or stop PLAYING. Lol... Once we gelded him, he finally behaved like a "normal stallion"... 😅😅 I even try sending him to my "Mentor" with years and years of breeding, training and handling breeding stallions...; but... it took 4 months, and then she called me and BEGGED me to geld him. Ha, ha, ha.... She made me LAUGH, because just 5 months earlier, she told me that "-YOU cannot handle him... YOU are doing it wrong.... YOU don't understand these tough Arabian bloodlines" (I've been breeding Arabian race horses and Endurance horses, with a very "tough, sturdy and strong russian/crabett bloodlines", and my Mentor was amongst the best breeders/trainers in Europe) Lol... to hear her "begging me" to geld him, was hysterical!!! 🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣

He looks like he could have some basic dressage training by how he is responding

Is he starting to.limp on his front right?

Nice great confirmation spirited sensitive baby

I am guessing he has never seen cattle or not at least this close up. I see that all the lapses of attention, it is because of the cows doing different things and when two of them were "playing" he REALLY was looking. If this roundpen had closed sides all the way around, this horse would have been paying attention all along. Sorry but I don't like the open round pen next to the cattle. Down the road, okay give him distractions but first trying to work him and not knowing how much training is on him all the cow distraction isn't doing him any favors,

Please , breast strap first then chinch. Otherwise the saddle will slide back to the flank and spin then you will be in trouble.

Not an especially good mover.

Great work Tim sussing/figuring him out. I trained Arabs for 50 years. He’s very well bred, you can tell he’s been worked. The dingbats are usually just too closely bred. He’s a good nick. His owner is DOUBLE lucky. They’ve got you to work on him and they got him. It’s a shame he was gelded but you know it will be better for everyone including him. I had six stallions and they’ve GOT to be managed consistently all of their lives. A gelding is lots easier to use by most owners.

Nice to see such a beautiful Arabian. I hope the breed trends back to this conformity rather than the extremes of overly dished heads and such. Saber is a very desirable example of his breed IMO!

Of all the Arabs that need to be gelded, he's not one of them. Very correct, great top line , beautiful tail carriage and lovely normal head. Seems reasonable to work with. Great he found you Tim!❤

What a lovely horse! The show Arabians I've known were trained to drive as well as show in hand and ridden, with an animated trot being the featured gait.

This horse is really something. Beautiful to look at, is a great mover and even though he's not quite sure of "those cows" he's not going absolutely Nuts over them. The arabs that I have been around usually when frightened would dead stop, do the sinking splits and wheel around to the opposite direction - not fun to ride & hard to stay on! But this boy just might change my mind. He is definitely Not a knot- head! Be instering to watch when you push around some cows with him. Great job.

Wow he his such a great horse ! Can’t stop watching….

Isn't he just the interesting young fella?! Surely seems to have a metric ton of potential waiting to be developed! Going to put the popcorn on for following videos! :)

I started taking lessons about 50 years ago in Germany where it was mandatory to do everything of the left side. You would get yelled at if you did it from the right. Reason, horses are better in gaining knowledge on the left side. Well luckily we learned that this was a bunch of BS. Teach your horse to everything on both sides.

He is a magnificent horse! 😍🤩. You are super with him, very inspiring, thank you! 🐎👌

He isn't just gorgeous- what a great brain! His new people are VERY lucky- he's a dream.

😊pretty

Beautiful horse, a real eyeful!! I do get concerned Tim at how breathless you get with little exertion, please get checked out if you haven't already. Agreed this ones a keeper, lucky owner.

A pleasure to watch. He's beautiful. Positive session 🩵✌️
