So refreshing to see those 1 and 2 so well explained , and that pole give , that steady , constant repeating of the same maneuvers over and over really gets deep in a horse's mind and body.. , so much to learn and practice from watching Steve Young , who mastered his techniques ,,ask/ release ,ask/ release ..Yesterday, I did a ground session with a 4 years old who was left almost untouched since birth , A very sensitive horse , and scared to be touched , I did a long session of leading to driving watch a change , at the end the horse was so much more relaxe, flowing into the movements and respecting my space by reaching out to go around me .. I just love that exercise ..Thank you all at Steve Young Horsemanship for sharing that knowledge that improves so much horses and horses owners lives
This is gold. Watching you teaching beautiful pickle. Then teaching Lesley....A fantastic horse/ rider lesson. Very well done Lesley. What a beautiful mare Pickle is.❤❤
Fantastic lesson!!! So mesmerizing to watch Mr. Young work this horse. The timing is perfect. The horse gets it so fast and is so willing once he understands. What a gem of a video demonstrating real professional training. One step at a time, reward, repeat...looks so easy. Steve Young you are a fabulous trainer not just for the horse but for the humans as well. If only the lady would get rid of the whip, especially at the very least while she is first trying to figure out what she is doing. Thank you for this video, beautiful.
🐴 I don’t ride horses but this lesson you have given made me understand what you are actually doing with your body and legs to make the horse move. I now know that when you are at demo’s and somebody asks what you are doing with your legs you say you won’t understand ha ha. Pickle is great and seems quick to learn. Loved this session. 🐴🐴🐴🐎😜
I love you brits, the hose pipe. In the US, simply the hose. Where is the pipe is there one, haha! Love this channel, blessings to You Tanya, Steve and all your family......and all the fine folks who watch the master at work!
@whywhywhy4716 Louisiana lady here... I never heard the term "hose pipe" until my sister and her family moved to North Carolina years ago and heard it there. So i guess it crossed the Atlantic, but didn't get beyond the eastern states. That's 100% speculation lol.
Not a horse expert, Pickle looks relaxed and supple, and happy to cooperate and learn. Looks like the horse is patient and playful, and waiting for Lesley to catch up and be confident about the change. Good girl ❤ Nice job Lesley ❤ Thank you Steve ❤
what another Amazing Video brought such JOY to Pickle’s owner and to Viewers in the 70’s there was a horse that boarded at Jory Hills stables named Pickles such a cute name Her name was Piccadilly such a cute name Steve You really make owning and loving a Horse with you’re Sweet nature and True Love for Horses such a Pleasure Thank You from all that View YOU💜🎄🇺🇸👍
WOW, that was wonderful to watch! I dont ride but what a lesson for the people that do. Most of it was over my head but I'm sure a lot of riders will get something out of it and help thier horse and the rider get more out of thier experience. 🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
Gorgeous horse. No whip please-It is distracting and not necessary. Shorten the stirrups one hole (epecially the left). She is putting her weight on the toe of her foot and not on the wide part-heel. Look UP! Great lesson.
I will speak with complete objectivity. I find it honorable of this lady to question herself and want to find solutions for the good of her horse, however I do not know if it is out of fear that she sometimes becomes unbalanced and tenses up in the saddle or if she has a low riding level but I think she should continue taking lessons. Parasitic movements in the saddle can create defensive movements in the horse, sometimes it creates attitudes to test the rider, without forgetting that when you fall back into the saddle it can hurt the horse's back or surprise it. Holding on to a dressage stick does not seem to me to be the solution in this case either, some horses associate it with a punishment and rush forward by going faster, except to serve as additional aid in dressage I don't see the usefulness of using one. In any case, very nice work Steve, I wish this lady my best wishes.
agree, it seems to be in the way and a distraction for the rider, esp. for the lesson , not needed. So good to see the rider happily riding her horse, great ending.
You and i work the same. What people dont get, IS THEY START COAL MINING, EG DIGGING KEEP GOING, NO RELEASE, THAT IS WHY , Horses get knappy,,,,,, when the do 1 thing release they then know the picture in mind is GOOD, just busy road people cant hear, maybe round pen or section off field. Totally on forehand her build not her fault. I want them as bendy as rubber band. This takes time, people do not do a journey, the think just A TO B, horses do dot think like that.
Another nice video by you Steve, I really enjoy watching them even though I don’t have a horse now, but it’s a shame you get interrupted while trying to explain. However I was surprised to see she carried a whip which really was unnecessary. Do you think that if you had a good camera with a good microphone things would be better eg noise, just a thought. Love you all ❤❤😊
Your comment on Irish horses comes straight out of your fundamental orifice, Mr. Young! Irish horses are no more likely to run into the bit than any other horse that has not been properly schooled to stretch over the back into the contact. From my own experience trainers sorting out an owner's horse would use the horse's correctly fitted tack that they are ridden in at home.. When you raise your hand up on the rein it can cause the horse to move its head to avoid tension, open its mouth, or bite on the bit to relieve pressure on its oral tissues- it's not really very kind (tough we have all done it from time to time). You basically walked and circled, barely breaking into a trot and certainly no cantering or coming across the diagonals and using the full school which you would do if "sorting" a horse out as a professional trainer. Basically, this was a promo exercise with you riding a perfectly well-behaved horse Western-style for the benefit of impressing a particular type of audience. Interestingly, I have often commented that you don't ride or take in horses, and only a few days ago had someone; very defensively, tell me that you did and there were lots of videos and here you are taking a horse in for "six" days to "sort" it out. 😂🤣
@@Rosebud65 The point is I don't like BS period. To make uneducated and sweeping statements about a certain breed of horse or country it came from is exactly that. Equally, this was not a professional Trainer sorting out a horse, it was a "trainer" riding a perfectly well-behaved horse who was indeed so well-behaved, that it was prepared to wear a Western saddle which has cinches, is longer and heavier than its English counterpart and be ridden in a Western style. This was an exercise demo in walking circles by a bloke who dismounts with one foot still in the stirrup which is neither professional nor a good example to someone you are trying to educate and is, in fact quite dangerous on a feisty horse. I don't disagree with everything Young does( accepting that he caters to a particular type of audience to make his living), but when I do I will express my opinion you don't have to read it or agree and frankly, I don't care either way.
Freddie - you sound a little sour. My goodness. Steve is honest and open. I’m sure he’d be open to a discussion with you if you’re so inclined. He has acknowledged more than once the work the owner has put into this horse and the wonderful improvement in the horse. His comment about Irish horses has to do with his experience. You have your own as does he. Is Steve doing anything good that you can see? Just wondering.
@@freddiebiscuit9703 You are certainly very opinionated, perhaps you should take a look at some other trainers and give them the benefit of your experience 😂 im sure they would be delighted.
@@SharonJones-ej9bz Indeed I am as are most trainers, competition riders, and instructors and in fact i do look at other trainers AND meet with trainers I used to know in the past though; like me, many are now retired. We do share tips and knowledge that is how you learn so perhaps you should take your own advice and you may learn something.
