Horse ATTACKS People! 

Working with horses, such as what he's doing here today can absolutely be applied to people in the work place for example so that's cool

Same here! This is so interesting to understand the psychology of a horse. Majestic animal that I admire yet fear it a little bit

Me too🤪

Nurturing a dream?

You never know :)

Thank you, Beth. I really appreciate your willingness to let Ryan work with you and video the process. It’s helpful to all of us.

Thanks Beth for allowing your lovely horse to be videoed so we can all learn from it. You can tell basically he is a sweet horse! I have a mare that threatens to bite when being rugged, and I have worked with it, but it has never gotten better. I’m going to use Ryan’s methods on her ❤

@Beth June I giggled at the same parts as you did! Nice job breathing when you were walking the line and I love watching you focusing to create your bubble! You’re a great listener too. Thanks Beth and Ryan!

Thank you guys for the super positive comments! He really is an awesome horse! I got him with baggage and I love that I can help him feel even more comfortable now!

I totally understand how you feel. It takes a lot to put yourself out there like that. I did the same thing a month or so ago and called Ryan for help with a boarded horse and it was so worth it. Glad you saw an issue got help. Beautiful horse by the way!

Arrogant like dog breeders yet don't care about these animals usually.

​​@@Angelface11 100% they always remind me of Harry Potter's Aunt Marge. Elitist snobs, stables full of inbred animals with good 'breeding', will probably try to sell you a lame horse and then pretend that they didn't know a thing

Fantastic! It means so much to have a parent see that raw talent and to support it in their kids. I found working with other people's horses invaluable for learning.

Thanks

@Donna C. *accepting 🙂

How they know he wasn´t sick...having bad sleep or migraine or pain, or lack of exercise or hormonal balance in body?

Did you watch the video? Watch it then you'll realize that response was ridiculous 🙄

@@alaalfa8839 Exactly, the horse may have a toothache or any other intense pain , head, stomach, etc., but ignorant people think it's a horse's tantrum and not a health problem. Ignorant people treat horses like machines and not as a living being, it's disgusting There are several cases of horses that were having aggressive behavior because they feel a lot of pain, because they have health problems and when they were treated returned to normal, I hope people stop being ignorant and irresponsible and investigate the horse's health and stop thinking it is tantrum or that the horse is evil ​

Also great is when your horse comes to help you. One da mine came over as I headed to clean the water tub and removed the water heater , set it aside and started pulling on the rim to tip it with me to drain it. I was shocked how gently she took the wire in her lips and sets the heater down next to the tub like I usually do.

He didn't have problem.someone taught him to be this way in his stall by incorrectly responding to his don't do that signals. In horse interaction, the alpha will punish a subordinate who doesn't comply. This horse learned that the "attack" would back off people. Once haltered, "normal" hierarchy with people was the rule. Horses are way smarter than we think.

@@audreye7078 Thanks for getting this all sorted out. He's such a gorgeous horse!

@@jules8299 and he was really wanting to interact nicely. He seemed like such a sweet obliging soul except for that misunderstanding. Once Ryan told him that first time that he can't interact that way.. he simply thought about it and said ok.. you're the alpha then. Really seems like a smart steady horse.. no over reactions.

@@audreye7078 ❤️

😂

honestly this is completely fine SO LONG AS you can read horse behavior or could read it like when to back off or leave a horse alone

Haha... PET?! Yeah right, lol. Find apple crates, logs, upside down buckets, or get a leg up from another human child pasture accomplice. Covert Op Hop a horse. From my first look & introduction, to the horse, I was forever in love & drawn in like a magnet. It has always amazed me, regarding the horses in pastures, that allowed myself & other pesky chaps, to hang around & hang on & just be there, in their space, & of course, the ultimate plan, was to get a boost aboard & sit contentedly, for decades. I guess it was simply that we were on the same mental wavelength, as the horse of the day. No threat no sweat. Mutual trust agreement. We were very mindful of the horse's tolerance level. I recall that when the horses tired of us, we just knew. A gentle see ya later, by the horse. And Id bid farewell, as did the horses. Obviously, they weren't wild mustangs. But, I just innately knew what to do. Understood the horses mind, & body language. Mutual. Lol. Not just pet, but ride. No saddle no bridle. If there was a grouchy soul in the herd, I left it alone. Good old horses. They tell us everything. If we learn to listen.

​@@privatemailcall6011 a friend's granddaughter is able to mount horses that haven't been saddle broken. She's dressed them up with all manner of crazy things. I think horses will make a lot of exceptions for a smaller child. Obviously she is supervised around them as the photos are posted, and videos. I've seen the development of an orphaned foal my friend reared. Foal was always around other horses so had socialisation around them. He still went through the biting stage but between my friend and his "aunt" he learned what was acceptable.

Yep. Lol. We all seem to have had our pasture pony moments. Actually, horsey moments. I was taught early on, by the Shetland ponies, to buzz off. Tough little ponies, that had aquired learned attitudes, caused by their many, pint sized, aggravating, side kicking, hand banging, screeching youngsters. Lol. The ponies could get rid of us, with body language. Not all Shetland ponies were bossy buckers, and nippers. Just the ones that had raised countless tiny rowdy cowboys. Lol. And, to reemphasize, we didn't approach the horses that didn't want us around. They told you right up front. We listened. But those wonderful old mares & geldings, who allowed us, who babysat us, who let us climb up, & simply sit on their backs, while they grazed, are forever in our hearts. I can still feel their body movement, when they stretch necks down, bite & pull the grasses, & continue to graze & grab & chomp every blade of yummy grass & clovers. And the steps they take, as they graze along. Just so very wonderful. Best friends bonding in those hours. Then, a free walk & ride back to the barn. Naked. Not even a halter & lead rope. Our horses were never turned out wearing halters. The halters were hung near the outgate. Good times!

LOL! I had the same knee jerk reaction at a clinic when a woman's horse bit me. She may never speak to me again but the horse then asked nicely to have a conversation. I felt so badly for the poor horse. No one has truly acknowledged him in years. When we parted ways, he tried to follow me rather than her.

@audreydragonflight7121 I did not see a positive connection at all, let alone an "awesome" one. The impression I got from the way Beth charged towards Sox and twice smashed the flag on the stall floor with loud slams she was either fearful or resentful of Sox. Possibly both. She had already said outside that she bet she knew what would make Sox angry. There was a lot of tension in her voice when she said that. This indicates that she DID KNOW what made him angry because she had already done behaviors that elicited his anger. The tension revealed that it had also most certainly elicited anger on her part. Even in Ryan's presence Beth could not help but try to show Sox who's the boss. This made the dominant horse Sox want to contest the issue. I imagine she would have been even more overbearing at times when no one was observing their confrontations. No wonder the horse had tried to show her he could strike back and not put up with her desire to intimidate him and punish him when he rebelled. The way the horse reacted to Ryan's firm flick on the nose when he tried to bite him followed by Ryan's obvious consideration and acknowledgement of the horse's need for space quickly resulted in the desired outcome shown by lip licking and even moving toward Ryan with his head down and ears forward indicating a desire to show admiration and respect. Ryan purported that Beth was building rapport with Sox but he made sure to emphasize that there was a need to be polite, maintaining space and not forcing Sox to accept petting if he didn't want to. I believe he recognized it was Beth's ego that was a large part of the problem but was being tactful. He sensed that there was a lack of rapport which was the source of the horse's aggressive behavior but knew if he told that to Beth directly it would only make her ego problem worse.

I appreciate that!

This, clear and no bs

@@ryanrosehorsemanship hi

Pressure release was/is detrimental to the horse picking up on the 2 eyes concept. He has a perfect opportunity to use a non-dominance technique with his flag or if he's well tuned, his energy to get the horse's attention. It's hard to distinguish the two until you see it as a yoo-hoo, I'm here.. versus a look at me kind of thing.

@@audreye7078 I think the concept is far more subtle and useful than you do. Thanks for your interest in replying to me. Much appreciated.

@@rebeccalara5014 look at the difference.. watch some of Warwick Schiller's videos.. plus I've begun this non dominance journey years ago.. your timing on backing off from your horse is too late and reinforces his thinking that saying no with threats is ok.. the fact his demeanor changes totally once haltered is further proof of his confusion about who is leader and when.. it's classic you disobeyed my telling you so I'll discipline you. Ryan's reaction to bop him was right on.. it was gently done as possible under the situation Ryan set up. He told the horse. "You don't get to threaten me like that." It would have been better to have set up the who's alpha outside over food when the horse has complete freedom to leave. Any restraint system raises the anxiety level in a horse until and unless you have earned their total trust to say they are worried and you give them time to think about it. Generally, the better the relationship, the more likely the horse will try to do what you ask.. You need to pay attention to the eyes, ears and tenseness before the horse has to get louder with pinning ears or snaking a threat. Ryan saw it, but he didn't say if he wanted to provoke the reaction when the horse escalated the signal. Standing up to the horse only took once to let the horse know, this guy knows.. I won't try that again.

@@audreye7078 Thanks for the insightful reply. I saw the same interaction that you saw. Ultimately, we are mostly in agreement!

@@rebeccalara5014 thanks for your reply.

Once the horse learns it will become his default

@@debh3404 Hi. Ok what the horse is learning is that if he looks at the person, the person goes away. So where does that leave the person? Standing 8 feet away from the horse. It seems to me that if you want to work on being able to approach a horse without alarming him, you would approach and stop (not retreat) if the horse looked concerned - typically if horse raises his head or turns head away. Then advance again and as soon as the horse looks concerned again, stop until the horse seems to have relaxed, then advance again. Etc. So you’re always getting closer to the horse. Advancing could be inches at a time and could take 5 minutes or five days. Realizing that in each new session you start at the beginning, not where you left off.

@@epona9166 He's learning that he will get relief from pressure if he gives 2 eyes. She won't have to do that forever. But I can understand why you are saying that but there is a process and that's the first step. What the horse is learning is that his human is communicating to him in a clear way. Horses don't think like we do, nor do they think like dogs do. But he will learn quickly, VERY quickly, what she is asking for. Simply give her two eyes looking at her.

Just as we're taught don't reach over a dog's head to pay it, go under first and let them smell you. Then touch if the dog doesn't back away. Walking our dog on the beach some kids might ask first and reach over, luckily our boy loves kids, others ask first and then present the hand for the sniff first and go to rub his cheek which he loves, especially around his ears. Very rarely he will step away and not allow the touch. But if they pause and attempt again he's fine. Usually if a kid asks to pat we will ask him to sit first. And there is almost always a treat at the end of it l.

Awesome. Glad I passed 😊

@@ryanrosehorsemanship 😂😂 We are in Australia also. Mate, the thing I personally like about your teaching is the balance you present to teach not just the horse but the owners more so, so they can improve and build the relationship between themselves and the horse by getting into the horses head. Experiencing, observing ‘herd’ dynamics is very educational. Exerting myself as dominant to a horse in a group (12) is interesting when that horse is already in a top spot of the hierarchy and approached me amongst the herd in a assertive manner but not aggressive, after a few moment’s, a mutual respect where that horse will ‘give in’ when I demand my own space. But his herd position, and mine, not changed. One on one dynamics is totally different, which is a whole lesson always. I see similarity between you and Monty Roberts, the way you both guide owners first and horses, to understand horse language. Have you had connection with Monty Roberts ?

👆🏻 Well said!! 👏🏻
