Long story made short; had a boarding horse that would not load. Young (4 years old) strongminded big mare. I got her through that, and later they went to a horse show where I actually was Show Manager. Sunday evening at show end, they had paid the actual breeder of their horse to take it back, as the husband was working late. Daughter came bashfully asking me for help to load the horse, as the breeder had some problems. As we walked alongside the arena house, we met the wife. Strange expression on her face, shaking her head. Then I heard the sound. A repeated sound I first could not recognize. I felt weary and picked up my speed. Rounded the corner and saw one man whipping the mare again and again on the rump while another had the leadrope tightly turned twice over the horse's nose trying to manhandle it into the trailer. I roared like a woman long before Rhianna had her hit. Jumped on the guy with the whip and furiously grabbed the whip from him before attacking the guy with the strangling grip on a horse making gurgling sounds with her nose. I was obviously unexpected, as both men backed up without a fight. After a brief exchange of words and a whip to the stranglers thigh, they left with the trailer. Horse back in the stable, and me in charge, I told them to call the husband to tell him to hook up their trailer, load a specific mare of mine, and come as soon as he was off work. Mare loaded after some friendly waiting and peaceful asking, and got home at midnight. I reported both guys to the police for animal cruelty next day, and offered freely to the officer that I had used the whip on one of the guys. The officer looked me dead in the eye and said he would have done the same.

In the '90s, I had rented a bedroom from a lady that also boarded horses on her property. She didn't do her due diligence on a guy properly that came from a nearby dude string ride barn. I was curious what his background was, and why he suddenly needed a new job; but it wasn't my place to ask. A while later, he was on a horse, headed towards the trail system to exercise it, but it refused to climb out of a draw, and it went over backwards instead. Fortunately, he was a big enough cushion that the horse's withers weren't injured. He hurt his arm; but he was more bruised pride than anything. The landlady *finally* got suspicious about the guy. (I would have personally called the police; but again, not my place.😡 I wasn't a first person witness.) She had a vet thoroughly check out the horse. He had been abusing the horse. A sweet Arabian now had a sore mouth and a tender back. He had been sawing on the bit; and he was too lazy to help a horse up a slope by leaning forward while standing in the stirrups. In fact, this overweight Neanderthal was bouncing in the saddle during a trot, instead of moving the horse through its gait. I wasn't a very experienced rider, at the time; but it had been drilled into me how careful you needed to be with the purebred Arabians. They could go forever with incredible stamina; but you had to protect their backs. He should have never been allowed anywhere near these horses, let alone ride them. He was instantly fired and blacklisted in the region. My landlady had more connections than the dude barn apparently. That poor horse was doing ground work only, for ages, due to its tender back. Lots of TLC, and excellent veterinary care, finally brought her around to trusting riders again; but even then, only petite females. That was decades ago; and I still want to throttle the guy.

Man years ago I worked at a breeding farm in CA. A stallion had injured himself in the field. Had to take to vet clin8c. They proceeded to beat this poor boy to get him on the trailer. I finally stepped in, told them to all go away and after 2.5 hours I was able to get him on the trailer with kindness. It was then an uneventful trip to the clinic.

@ShintogaDeathAngel Год назад

@@arribaficationwineho32 I can see how impatience can lead to abuse, thing is some of these situations are still avoidable - e.g. most horses can be desensitised to going in trailers when they’re unsure or scared, which would likely help when there isn’t time to make multiple attempts.

@juliesorick Год назад

Awesome. Well done. I’ve had horses since I was 10. Loading them in trailers can sure be an issue. I’ve studied a lot of methods, but you have helped me most. I recently bought an 8 year old quarter horse that had never been in a trailer. I loaded him in 30 minutes. No trauma. Owners were amazed. I actually took him in and out of the trailer a few times which left them gobsmacked.

My father was raised on a farm in Nebraska and was a good horse person. He used to ride the farm horse to the 1 room school house he attended. It was about a mile or so away. Unfortunately I never learned much about horses from him, but your videos are absolutely amazing. I really enjoy watching you work with horses and feel I've learned a lot about working with my little dog from your horse videos. As an aside, I asked my father what he did when a storm came in, and he had to ride the horse back to the farm in a blizzard. Snow storms can be quite bad out on the plains east of the Rocky Mountains. He said, "No problem, just get on the horse, and it always took me straight back to the barn in the blizzard with no problems whatsoever." The horse always knew the way home even when the human couldn't see the road.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your insight and experience through these videos. I stopped riding not long after but if I had had access to someone like you back in the day, who knows where I would be now.

@jennielaw6329 Год назад

Huge respect to Nikki for not giving up on this lovely mare. Asking for help when you know you're out of your depth is a brave thing. Trusting, previously, which ever "trainer" enough, only to watch them abuse and repeatedly use ignorant and cruel methods, before her very eyes, must have made her feel very conflicted as she and her partner clearly love the horse. A follow up visit from you Steve, circumstances allowing, would be amazing for all involved. The "Steve Young" signature, tactful way of imparting your wealth of knowledge and years of experience to your client/ horse guardian..... this lovely sensitive mare could potentially live her life, not just being .. "well looked after" as she clearly is! But......living her days with a properly empathetic human guardian, who not only accommodates her physical needs, for water, food, warmth or medical care.. but.....truly is awake to, at least, the fundamental requirements regarding her unique equine-ness......wow! I just invented a new word! 😁 Horses mental health is as important as any sentient being 🐴

@@jennielaw6329 Very well put, that Nikki is courageous to bring the horse to Steve and be okay with allowing us to watch and learn from the progress they make! I think each of us commenting on the ‘slap’ awareness said it with loving desire for her relationship with Star to get even better. So many people don’t realize that they are doing it and that it doesn’t feel good to a horse. It helps for us to remind, and usually Steve gently says something to the one doing it, but I think he held back because Nikki was already so traumatized by the previous attempts to load Star.

I’ve only had one experience with a horse. I went with my cousin to a riding school where they put me on ‘Dynamite’. A huge horse to me but I’m only 5 feet tall. We headed off towards the fields and had to cross a busy road which I managed. Just as we got across some boys lit a banger and my horse took off. One foot came out of the stirrup but I held on. The lead girl called pull on the reins but I didn’t want to hurt the horses’s mouth so I pulled on the right rein only it turned right and headed back towards the road. I then learned to pull both reins when my horse stopped in someone’s front yard. I got off immediately and never got on a horse again. BUT I STILL LOVE HORSES AND LOVE WATCHING YOU WORK THEM.

I cannot even imagine beating or whipping them to try and convince them to do what I wanted. One of my horses was part quarter and Belgian. He was a big ole boy, and a real sweetheart. But he always hesitated loading in a trailer. I just kept talking sweet to him and kept on coaxing... This most of the time, went on for several minutes. But I remained patient, and eventually, he would walk right in. I would praise him every time... and as time went on, it got easier and easier.

UTube put your channel in front of me. It was a blessing. Subscribed when I realized what I was watching in you. Wish I had known you when I had my own horse. Would have made training of my horse easier. My dream horse (first horse) turned out to be a 4 year old, hot off the race course 16.2 hand gelding Thoroughbred with no training but race training. The trainer jumping competitions owner had just bought him and was taking him home when I saw him (long story) fell in love and bought him for $2,200, cash over 40 years ago. He was a stunning horse I never could have afforded if trained... Very classy, breedy head, Sable Black. The owner told me I had no business buying this horse but I put the cash in his hand. He gave me 30 days to return him if I couldn't handle him. I told him thank you but I would find a way to make it work. I had him for 24 years until he passed away at 28. He was my once in a life time horse right from the start. As time went on and with hard work (for me, not him) he could jump a 6 foot jump from a walk with me on his back, he was a dream in dressage, great for trail riding and he was like sitting on a soft leather recliner to ride .... he was so smooth in his gates. And, he was a sweet horse, kind, intelligent. Everyone tried to buy him from me. No chance. I knew what I had and I loved him.... my childhood dream. He passed in 2000. I was privileged for my heart to have been owned by him. His racing name was Sea Booger. I called him Bogey. He was/is my heart horse. I still miss him.

We are trying to desensitive him to a schooling whip, only because of my disability i have very weak leg aid on one side. Not yet used it on board but lots of just rubbing it on his sides and back. He is 10 and had him since he was 2. His education was brought on very slowly and we are only starting to introduce canter in a school. I've taught him how to park at a mounting block for me and ican lead him from my wheelchair. I leave wheelchair bottom of mounting block and use my stick to get up there lol. Hr stands still and at the end I say take me back and he will walk and line himself up by the block. Lots of gentle work using stand, stay and space as command. When he came he was treat trained so we use space as even till today if he crowds he can nip, so space gives us the bubble we need. It's fun as recently he lost his field mate, we had to sell her as she was bored and needed a fun teenager, the yard owner lost one of her retired horses. So my cob is now with her 35 yr old tb and they are both like naughty boys together. Done a bit of field hopping at times lol.

We used to breed horses years ago. One of the ways we trained trailers early was to back an open trailer all the way up to a corral gate and allow new babies to use it for a creep-feeder. They were so casual about using it by the time they were weanlings it was easy as yearlings to load them up.. Used the same training for an older mare we got who we didn't know at the time had been in an awful auto accident. She had been thrown on her side trapped with minor injuries. On top of that previous owners had done the same thing beating with whips and twitching. Poor thing was very traumatized. She would have to be walked to where they had to go. We did the same move, as we did with the babies. We put the open trailer against an open corral gate, and then placed her feed in the trailer close to the open end of the trailer. Gradually, as she got more comfortable starting out just standing at the edge of the ramp to eat, we would move her food further into the trailer as she got used to it. By the end, she forgot her fear and could load in with a snap of fingers. Traveling to shows everyone was safe and the horses were all comfortable. No fear. They liked their mini portable home. Lol..I remember sleeping in a hot tent at a couple of shows while we had fans blowing on the horses. I will always remember that evening that mare (name Lady) was just standing in the trailer patiently waiting for her feed. I might of cried a bit.

Steve your brilliant wish you lived nearer I've got a 4 year old stallion bought last October since my previous stallion died of old age related health problems aged 21 a little before him I've been watching you for quite a while thank god because after being here for a short while he showed himself as bolshy pushy and mouthy and biting I've followed your routines to the letter and he's improving he has his off days but I persevere calmly and will keep the training going he knows I'm the alfa now but he still likes to push me a bit but day by day he's improving its a very long pateint slow daily part of a routine which I keep up he's learning so I know he will turn out to be a wonderful pony 😊 thank you for all of your advice and help thank god I came across your channel 😅

@kristineteall368 Год назад

Don’t know how I found this video, but glad I did. Humans have failed this horse her entire life and it pains me so much! Thank you for helping her. I hope her owners learn to work with her and boost her confidence so that she can shine like the Star that she is! No one goes into horse husbandry knowing everything, and there is certainly always something to learn from them a well!

@rennaehanson9996 Год назад

Well done guys!! Hopefully that horse will be better now with trailering.

@WhosaidIrene Год назад

I binge watch your videos late at night. Being from a big city in the U.S I find your videos educational, kind and relaxing. I hope that’s not offensive.

@cathyolague9408 Год назад

Amazing!! I watched in horror when i was a kid as they tried and tried to load a 7 month old into a trailer with no ramp. I don't know who was more whipped when they finally got him in. I often wondered if anyone could ever get him near a trailer after that. Poor guy. I never forgot it. You healed this horse. Great job!

@avamori3543 Год назад

You need to clone yourself! Horses love you so much! You are such a good man, and the horses appreciate the respect you show them. What beautiful animals! Tanya works so hard to help, and your respect of her and her work you depend on. Charlotte works so well to help you, too. What a lovely family! Thank you! Happy trails to you!🐎🐎💖💖

This was my very 1st video to watch of Steve Young's channel. Such a blessing to know Star won't be mistreated anymore! Thank you Steve 💕🤗😇

@louisegogel7973 Год назад

16:58 I am so glad you said that Tanya! How one is named can set thoughts off in the minds of those who are around the named one! Those thoughts can inadvertently lead to ideas, responses within one’s own body and then reactions toward the named one! STAR is a beautiful name and the other part can be deleted and erased, as if it never had been.

@jodyhuston1516 Год назад

Absolutely agree with you and Tanya! What we’re named and called influences how people think of and treat us!

@ppww6076 Год назад

Very true. Similarly - accept compliments. For those people who instantly rebut them think what you are telling people; if you tell them you aren't smart, pretty, skilled etc often enough eventually they will believe you.

@louisegogel7973 Год назад

@@ppww6076 That took me a moment to unravel what you said, lol. Rejecting a compliment can mean many things… it could mean that one doesn’t feel those things are true about oneself and that accepting the compliment, one feels it is a lie. I think a great way to handle such compliments in this case is to say, “how sweet/kind/nice of you to think of me that way!”. Then one isn’t butting up against an inner turmoil, is acknowledging the other’s perspective, and might even be allowing the compliment to sneak into the crack in the door that acknowledging opens.

what was Star's full name, then

That part of the video was so uplifting. Names matter so much.

@BellyLaugher Год назад

imo:🎯Great Relationship-Repair pointer & advocacy modeling Tanya! ❤I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that you told Star's loving/stressed people they needed to stop calling her 'psyco-star' (it's like calling a beaten child a 'brat' for being terrified, isn't it?) & to replace it w/Star, or 2B more accurate, 'SUPERStar' (for all she'd just been thru, & then allowing Steve to show her new ways➡despite her recent dealings w/seemingly psychotic humans wielding whips!)❤

@lynnwarhurst699 Год назад

People like you restore my faith in humanity, which is a good thing, because I don’t have much faith in them. But you’re very high on my good list. My very best to you all.

I don’t know why your video came into my RU-vid feed but I am so thrilled. I don’t have horses, and don’t ever expect to be around them, but I do have anxiety and this story enthralled me. Wow, I had tears at the end! What a lovely man you are, and same with your family. Thank you for this, it made me so happy to see such love and care. Much love from 🇨🇦, I will keep watching.

@virginiamorrison5349 Год назад

Really enjoy your videos. This is the first time I've been able to clearly hear every word you said. Whatever change you made, please continue. Your patience with difficult horses is amazing.

@unajaneeskew2168 Год назад

Your love and patience does it. Beautiful. Magical true communication. That horse is proud of herself. Lovely

@honoreerobinson5379 Год назад

Had a beautiful fun who had a terrible experience while owned by first owner! When we moved her to our place it took coaxing and a butt rope. Got her home, parked her with the trailer open. Started feeding her at the foot of the trailer and progressed into the trailer, etc. Finally, she loaded up into the feeder. I let her eat in the trailer for about a month. To make a long story short, she was a delight! Whatever happened to her took some time and love, but was truly worth it! I’m a new viewer from the US, and I am now a huge fan of you and your lovely wife! Kudos to your savvy and horse sense! H Robinson USA

not really we all call her psycho star, it's a joke!

@pattallant2398 Год назад

Every time I see even the slightest change in a scared horse’s thinking it brings tears to my eyes. Especially knowing that before he got to Steve, he was whipped over and over. The injustice man can put on animals is heartbreaking, even from people who should know better. Thank god for people like Steve who know just how to understand and respect these great animals, and who helps them through their fears without pain and suffering.

@garsu1229 Год назад

Steve please never stop helping these poor horses they are so fragile humans make me furious

@rachelandersen7226 Год назад

Rehabilitation of any animal is truly doing gods work! Bless you!!! I appreciate what u do! I don’t own horses. I can only afford a dog but I wish I could “save” every animal on the planet from harm. Animals are just so important and so special. I don’t even have words for how much love I have for them. It may not be right but I love them more than humans. They are so innocent and beautiful. Thank you!

@emilymorrison853 Год назад

You really can read a horse, that's why the horses got so much respect for your guidance, Have you ever had a horse that you couldn't help. Great respect for helping these beautiful animals Steve

@alayneperrott9693 Год назад

Very interesting video. I used to teach young Irish Draught colts and fillies to load. Started by parking the trailer in the field with the ramp down for a few days so it became very familiar. Then began tempting them to step onto the ramp with a small nutritious snack, and follow that by putting on a head collar and leading them into the trailer. Very patient, no rush, small reward for progress each time. Absolutely calm, no shouting, no stick, no flapping of bags or other objects. The trailer becomes a safe space, like a stable, associated with praise, hay and initially, small rewards for good behaviour. I also relied on non-heating, alfalfa-based hard feed and when necessary, calming herbs. Irish Draughts are big horses to handle in a tight space when nervy from digestive discomfort (they were not traditionally fed cereals - too expensive).

OMG that poor horse!!!!!! Thank you for helping this beautiful baby

@jillking5876 Год назад

I've watched a number of your videos, Steve, and I have to say that I was gratified to see her conquer that fear enough to get into the trailer. How anyone would think to abuse her is a mystery to me. All she needed all along was a gentle hand and respect. You gave her that, and that was enough to get her convinced that she was okay inside the trailer. Watching her folly Darcy into the trailer was genius! Wonderful job once again, Steve. You are as much a star as Star is, LOL.

@kendratucker7675 Год назад

This Video Literally Made Me Cry The Whole Time Just The Fact How She Was Abused But The Work You Put Into Keeping Her Safe And The Work You Put Into Her❤️The Way People Treat These Beautiful Creatures Is What Gets Me Why? Ugg😢

@christinamuller1741 Год назад

You did a phenomenal job with a horse that obviously had struggles and did not want to load. Poor thing had such a bad experience. But you did it! Fantastic job STEVE!

@leert2698 Год назад

It was the first thing I thought of was to get another horse that was good at loading for her to see that they were calm and not afraid. I’m so glad that you took your time with her. I hate knowing that “trainers” beat on the animal that is already scared. It reinforces to the horse that there is something to fear. You were great with her and if she is worked with like this by her owner, she will likely get over her fear. Have a great day everyone.

I was so upset when I heard that she had been whipped. I am so glad that the owner found you. You are so kind and I know that star could feel that from you. I don't think some people understand how smart and how sensitive horses really are. They are amazing animals and if you ever have the trust of a horse it is the most amazing feeling in the world. So thankful to see your kindness. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. And I'm looking forward to seeing more of what you do.

@FreeLearner222 Год назад

First of your videos I’ve seen. I was fascinated the whole way through. I am so impressed by your commitment to kindness, patience and understanding the horse’s point of view and emotional state. Wonderful.

@Venoms60 Год назад

Thank you for this video. It´s nice to see that it work out in the end. We had one that refused to go in the trailer, but it took a very long time, incuding me put the trailers opening inside the fence and had feeding area inside the trailer. then after a few weeks this horse went in by himself without any problem. We started with very short trips in the trailer so the horse could get used to it and not panic. All went well in the end. Again, thank you for all educating videos. Best regards from Sweden.

@nikip9161 Год назад

Liked and subscribed. For the record, I didn't own an unstained pair of socks during my early teenage years as my every day was with these beautiful beasts. It took time to understand that I wished only for them to enjoy the trail/hack rides and let them be the horses they are. I love them all and dear, you are a fine horseman. Thank you. ❤️🐴

@rodandjudibowen5665 Год назад

Steve, you and Tanya did such an amazing job with gorgeous Star. I noticed that she was skeptical about the ramp on unload. I hope she has a brilliant future! Wahoo! 🤠🐎❣

@xoaddearth8028 Год назад

Great to see you working with the horse before each attempt at the trailer.. brilliant idea to employ a trailer competent horse in that situation to build confidence, under time and pressure, staying calm. Very authentic you are the real deal. Less drama next time for sure. Splendid yard btw, can see alot of love and hardwork goes into wot u do. Thank you for being brave enough to share a bit of progress. Massive respect to you Steve 👍👍

@theresalarson9416 Год назад

Mad respect. Glad there was another horse around to help show Star the way. Miracle job, artfully done. Bet it felt great. Thx for sharing. 👍

Oh my God, it´s such a thriller. My hat is off one thousand times. I watched your videos Steve every night for a week now, video after video. Reminding me on the foundations I tend to forget. Now it´s daytime, and I ought to work. Not watch this. But I gotta see the ending. Then going to my own horse 26. That I had for 23 years. - updating after the whole video: tears! Amazing.

@SG-gk1jn Год назад

I watched a few minutes at bedtime last night but now wished I'd left it until today. I've been awake since 3am worrying about the previous cruelty inflicted upon such a sweet and gentle mare. What a wonderful miracle you have performed with her. It's truly amazing to watch and such a good start to the new year. Thank you 😊
