Her First Ride Back: Will he be SAFE for her? 

Hey if you'd like more detailed training videos and would like to ask questions about your horse, consider joining my Patreon page. www.patreon.com/ryanrosehorsemanship

thank you so much kathleen for letting us watch you and Ryan work with your horse-you did awesome

That horse was looking at Ryan thinking "please take me home with you".

Thank you Kathleen for putting yourself out here for all of us to learn from Ryan.😊 if it wasn’t for people such as you sharing your training sessions, Ryan wouldn’t have the opportunity to teach some major details that horse training entails. Thank you so much Kathleen and Ryan!

The horse performs to the ability of the rider

After the second video, I was wondering if/when Ryan would say he would like to buy this horse. Ha! He's a very nice-minded horse, and travels nicely, too. Ryan has really tuned into this horse and vice versa. They click. I've had one horse like this in my life (sensitive, but more whoa than go). That was his innate nature since I bought him as a weanling. He ended up being the horse you could jump on after a year of not being ridden, and he'd pick up right where he left off: confident, calm, and content. Such a pleasure to ride and be around...however, with the wrong rider or a nervous rider, he became anxious and unsure. The sensitive types truly need a calm and confident leader on their backs.

Ryan you have so much patience

I was totally thinking that horse was made for you Ryan. He’s happy to be under your seat.❤

So many pieces of this series that can help me break it down - great job Kathleen, Ryan and sweet horse!! Ryan you have a great way of supporting everyone and articulating the positives and and the" needs" to focus on without making anyone feel " less " thank you!!

She says... "I can't help myself." "That's going to be hard for me." "I can't trot with one hand." "I couldn't help that." out of her vocabulary. She could add, "...yet." to the end of a negative statement and that would be an improvement. But at the end she's on her way. Good Job!

My favorite video of yours so far! Your gentleness in helping Kathleen fine tune her riding to fit her sweet horse was very impressive. So inspiring to see the improvements for horse and rider!

Masterful, Ryan! You never dissapoint!

2 minutes into this video and that is a whole different horse. What an amazing transformation in such a short time.

Ok so as an English rider who loves your videos and techniques Ryan, this was a hugely valuable video for me in watching Kathleen adopt this into her usual riding patterns. Thanks so much for sharing and letting me learn from you both. I'd love to see more of your videos involving transition to the owners and putting your guidance into practice.

@7:30 It's great that you mention her trusting him more. He could be completely "fixed" and never spook again (impossible because he's still a horse). But even if that were possible and true... she would still not have the trust in him to be that way with her. I've gone through exactly this with my mare. Sometimes we bend down, step back and take a smaller step forwards for ME! Which is just as important for the horse because if I am worried, then they will learn to be worried in that moment tomorrow. You're always training your horse - good or bad - with the emotions, energy and intention you have. It is SO important to admit, at least to yourself, that you don't trust that horse but you're willing to learn to try. I don't think I told any human in my life that I didn't trust my horse not to spook, freak out and throw me off... But I told her! She's earning it back so fast after using your methods and Tristan Tucker's methods though. We'll be having a blast by the middle or end of this summer and I am SO EXCITED for our future.

It is hard when there is history with a horse. I feel she will always be a little nervous on this horse. When she mounted and said he was bracing….Wow I thought he looked half asleep. It takes alot of patience to restrain our brains to relax after an injury. She may be better buying a new horse and starting over in a new partnership and selling this one…he is lovely BTW.

It always amazes me your intuition with all the horses you show us. I sometimes try to guess what your answer will be…..I am rarely right. I am still learning!

This was a fantastic series, super helpful!

“You have to have more moves than a can of x-lax” 😂 Killing me with the dad jokes Ryan. I would be stoked if you come to Maui to do some clinics

What a nice horse. He's better suited for Western style.

Awesome!! I've said this before, but listening to you talk about horses is like a balm to my brain. So many horse trainers out there have no idea the reasons behind what they are doing/saying. What you are explaining makes sense from a behavioural science point of view and from a dog trainer's point of view. I wish you would take a dog trainer's course, one in particular that I just finished. It has transferred perfectly to my horse training and it took everything to another level. The stuff this guy teaches is INVALUABLE to all animal trainers. But it's not cheap. Training Without Conflict by Ivan Balabanov.

I can see he's on his way mentally. Gee he uses his body well. I notice a lot of I cant's from Kath but yes you can. I could see you can. Practice, I guess. I wish the very best for Kathleen and thanks for the videos Ryan

Amazing!!! I love how you improved her confidence so much Ryan. That feeling of helping others improve their partnerships with their horses must feel so good!! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us. This series with this horse and rider was fascinating to watch.

This horse looks like a perfect western horse. Knowing how popular team penning is on the Big Island by the paniolos (this is the Big Island, yes?) I'm not surprised he is a natural western horse.

Great job Kathleen! I know the fear of bucking at the canter very well, it takes a ton of courage to relax into the canter when you have that in the back of your mind. You can tell he really wants to please because when you relax, he relaxes. What a lovely pair :)

Hi, I love watching people putting time and effort into re-educating both themselves and their horses when problems arise rather than giving up on them, but I have noticed that the bent irons are on the wrong sides the bend is ment to be on the outside of the foot so the rider foot falls free of the stirrup and is not dragged in the case of a fall, keep up the good work

i love these videos!! i constantly use what you say to improve my own riding skills and my groundwork skills 😇💖

She was actually more tense and braced than the horse. She needs to relax too.

What a fantastic series. You're going to be one of the greats, Ryan.

Especially love these videos where we get to see more than one video. Cisco, is another one that you and Jake both worked with that was really great to see the progression, over time, while he was at Pear Tree Ranch. Thanks Ryan!

I love what you were saying about you dont need repetition to train a horse you should be laying out your training properly to get the besr results but also love how u explain how you use it in your training as i test i never thought of it that way and i will definitely apply that when im training my horse i wanna go to ur clinics great video! And such a gorgeous horse🤩 thank you for you clear amazing videos

I had to smile during this because those of us who ride English always have legs on and use both hands on the reins!! It made me chuckle when she said "I can't trot with one hand on the reins." Yep! Thank you for your videos.

So Wonderful to see the Good Results for Horse and Rider with this SHOW OFF SESSION ! She has everything she needs and the horse has a deeper understanding of what is being asked and clearer ways of corrections that are not micro managed multi faceted figuring out and tense reactions by the rider. YEAY FOR RYAN ROSE !

Terrific set of videos. I'm still trying to figure out which one of them got the most training. I think that both will be much better as long as both remember their training. I agree with what you said about buying that horse. I feel like the difference between starting and now, totally different animal. He's to a point that to finish training him completely, you would have a true beautiful horse that would be your best friend for life. Great job. God bless y'all and stay safe around these animals. 👍👍

Fantastic video. I don't own any horses (I used to when I was younger) but I love learning and watching these for when I do get a horse in the hopefully near future! My heart almost burst when Kathleen had such a great ride on him at the end. Congrats all around!

What a great improvement i am so happy for the horse and rider! Ryan i could see this horse really like you also well done with helping him as well❤.

Loving these videos with Kathleen! I’ll be watching them over and over as I see my mare here, sans bucking.

Loved watching the entire progression !

I like the way you work with horse 🐎 and win I watch your video it helps me with my horse Nanette

Very interesting video's. But when I look at the saddle , while trotting on the lunge, it looks like it doesn't fit at all. It's bouncing around at the horses back. Or is this a common fit with Western saddles?

hip hip! Way to go, all three of you.

Thank you so much for sharing these videos! Really interesting

Well done 👍

Wow I thought I recognized those mountains! So cool you were on Kauai!

Great job to all!

lol. Hawaii is the US. Just not the Mainland. ☺️ You did awesome with this horse. ❤

"The horsemans first job is to remove the fear." Dewayne Noel

BUY HIM, RYAN!!!!❤🐴

English saddle does not fit the horse, it slides. Despite all the training, the horse will react to this eventually.

I wonder if the owner has learned to balance herself with the reins?

I enjoyed this !!

Love love love that!

3, 4 Weeks maybe ? If it wouldn't be for you Mr. Rose, almost unbelievable the change of this Horse from the Beginning to Now! Fantastic!

It will be interesting to see if she will continue to mesh with him or not...my guess is no...I think this horse is fantastic but I also think he prefers the western style of riding that is what he is..She has the english mindset...

I also think he should be ridden western. Beautiful western look.❤❤

You ARE in the US, Ryan 😁.

I’ve lost count of how many times this lady has said “I can’t…” No wonder her horse can’t either. Or canter.

Ryan doesn't try to teach the horse anything unless the horse is relaxed. Ryan makes sure the horse is relaxed. He waits until the horse is relaxed before going on.

I've got a horse that rears when any leg pressure is applied under saddle. Several vets have looked head to toe, saddle fitters, body workers, etc.... not a pain response. Went from teaching young kids to walk/trot to being unsafe to ride. Se got 2 months off, and now coming back as though she knows nothing. Have used a lot of what you do in your videos. Would the things you do under saddle with this horse work, or is there something better? It's only an issue with the riders leg, and she only rears (has almost flipped over a couple times), no bucking.

It doesn't seem like they're a good match honestly; the way she rides (and her chosen discipline) don't fit that horse at all. If she can't trot with one had she's using the reins for balance and is just going to make him sour with the constant contact

You Da Man 😎

seat first legs later.

Why buy a rodeo or rope horse when you are a dressage rider ? 🤷‍♀️ Seems counter productive and makes the horse have learn a new language. IMO

Does that hat fit in the overhead?

Love Sour Training System......

This horse is fantastic. It needs a sensitive, empathetic rider. That woman lacks delicacy and sensitivity. But it's good that he wants to learn.Greetings from the Czech republic.

You're so funny! Hawaii is in the US. Maybe your wife will nail you on that one. Haha. I know you meant mainland.

Stay on the horse and recover and work through it. One it strengthens your bond, two he won’t feel as safe with you and when he runs into certain situations that would make you get off, he will spook and you will get off, he wins! If that makes sense. That’s the best way I can explain it.

This horse is a long way away from being ridden collected for english riding. He needs to learn to curve and supple thru his body. And move in balance first.

Ryan can I ask you how do I have convinced win I ride my horse 🐎 I boke my hip thank you Nanette

If you look online youbwill see the many dressage horses that cannot manage the mix of contact/collection and keg. I have ridden dressage and now hate it. Horses are so much more than the stupid horrid tight control. And the gross dropped nosebands... I cannot imagine why you'd choose a rodeo horse and expect a dressage horse. He looks like he was a pick up horse....loped consistent with that and the tight turns. This horse could do so much...dressage NO.

Watching her ride, I tried to notice my own breathing as I’m a person that holds my breath. I hope we will get to see where these two are down the are down the road. I think it will be great.

... I can't trot with one rein

I think she needs to tighten her girth?

Nervous Nelly. This isn't the sport for her.😮😮😮

YaY!

Dressage is too much kicking and pulling. She needs to retrain herself too.

Where's his Hawaiian shirt and shorts 🩳?

Wow you figured out if you ride a broke horse a couple times he won't act fresh🎉🎉👏👏

There is no reason to ride a horse with contact, especially with a bit. No reason at all. You can just train the horse to give with and ask, not with a nagging contact. You use the word contact because you know it sounds good. What you mean is force on the bit.

'in dressage it's all legs'....yep, IN THE WRONG DRESSAGE it is. But watch and listen to Philippe Karl 'Twisted truths of modern dressage '

I really appreciate you showing people how to be bad horse trainers so that I can go buy their projects they fail at really cheap.

Does her saddle fit? The saddle pad is too short for the saddle so i wonder if bracing and bucking could be saddle fit?!?
