@@freeze1305 that color is referred to as a Bay

I don't want to be forced into horses anymore I can't take it anymore

Nice

Horses are herd animals. They watch the other horses around them to know how to react. Even in horses that don’t share a pasture but are near other, there is a pecking order. If one freaks out, the others will too. If one shows no reaction, a more timid horse won’t react as wildly

Time stamp?

@@alicodm5120 start at 6:35 then abut 10 seconds in is where the magic really happens :)

@@camille1423 Thanks!

Very true. In my amateur experiences with horses, I find they're similar to dogs. Speak softly around them, let them come to you - which most usually will because they're so curious, they can't help themselves.

This was beyond beautiful

@@4orrcountry this is so true

@@ercanteke7597 thanks for that piece of very valuable information. Sounds like you are Really enjoying yourself...

@@4orrcountry Sooo true! I'm pretty new around horses, and when I decided to just watch them and observe their body language so I can learn, they couldn't help but want to find out more about what I was doing just standing there unthreateningly, doing nothing. They're such curious creatures (and highhhhly intelligent as curious animals and people tend to be). If anyone reading this hasn't done it before, just stand with a relaxed and open body language next to a fence with horses in the paddock and watch what they do. They can't help themselves. They want to know what you're up to! It's really cute.

Imagine what happened to black men in slavery

@@StrawHalo horses are slaves

​@@StrawHalo free your mind

I always learn horses in the love way never forcing them.

I grew up with horses I used to ride horses

WE SURE DO!!! 🙏🐴

Yeah, def a tear jerker video

Just beautiful thanks, very moving ❤

I agree.Any tips on getting a halter [ headcollar ] onto a young colt that has been hit around the head ? See my 2 videos of him and the good progress made in a week since i got him.

@@feeltheforce10 never had to do that specifically, but I have had to halter break a bitchy donkey. Based just familiarize them with touching the withers and neck with lots of treats and positive reinforcement, then SLOWLY work your way up to the head. Then repeat the process just lightly rubbing their neck and eventually head with the halter, with more treats and positive reinforcement. If it's still slow progress, take a break for a while and build their trust. I guess the main thing is use more of the carrot and less of the stick so to speak. Hope that's helpful

I'm more a Cat person

@@THOMASCOLTON1 It's really about the same. Be soft, be slow, be gentle, be patient, and above all: Use treats. Bribery helps, a LOT.

@@TimeSurfer206 ssw

I saw spurs in one part but when he got on Shiver they were off

@@amethyst3276 there is nothing inherently wrong with " artificial aids" it's it's people who use them incorrectly. A whip is an extension of the hand, not a weapon, spurs are an extension of the foot, not a tool for kicking until the horse bleeds. Just remember that a halter is an "artificial aid" too. Blame the user not the product itself

Spurs aren’t inherently bad. They can be necessary depending on the activity and the horse. The issue with Spurs is always the person wearing them.

@Choo Choo children aren't animals, there should be a distinction in how they're treated

@@meicringei157 I never even ride horses that much but I learned Spurs are mostly use to rub against the horse not kick

I grew up in Sheridan, Wyoming. I miss it very much!

Good luck

Color Terminology: Maverick is a bay/ Shimmer is a buckskin ( far less common).

Either your colourblind or your horses hella dirty cause that ain’t even close to white lol

Shortcut. Time saver.

That was the impression I got, to me it seemed like they were a team.

Precious AMAZING GRACE! Amen ❤❤❤

Hello 🤗👋.

Agreed

So true.

Great bond with Jimmy and his horse and a lot of trust this horse as with Jimmy Mate

No, it's not Disney. Don't ever think that starting horses is Disney. I hate these kind of videos that give the general public the wrong impression.

Tina Huston it was a compliment on how beautiful it was....

@@Rocmax417 tina didnt get it lol

@@timberhoff Maybe she was referring to the more misconstrued aspects of Disney films as being seemingly perfect or not being true to reality, albeit the films are often directed towards children.

@@BlackKettleRanch jeez okay.

I used to mares for my gelding. Now there is so much trust from him its unbelievable. Will be mounting this week God bless.

I've never even considered that being a thing in this scenario. I've always seen horses being started alone, but at the same time when my mare is anxious, if we can be near another horse she feels way more relaxed (she's VERY herdbound, mind you). This was cool to watch 👍🐴

One of the best round pen demonstrations I've seen. So many people think all you have to do is spend big bucks on a round pen, chase a horse in a circle for an hour and it's trained. I did a mule that was started in halter at day at 2 days old and ground manners and was able to "round pen" with a lunge line.

The brown one...it just was glad that there is another one and thought: well just give him a kick, too. brokebackmounten

It works really well with dogs too. If you have an untrained dog, an older, calmer one can help her learn to behave.

@@lymangreen5020 Thank you so much. I notice in spring he is just a little reticent...glad to get his apples and then goes back to the grass, so I really appreciate your comment...I miss his affection right now!

@@terryanngallagher3605 I hope the two of you will continue to meet. All the best to you guys. ❤️🌹

what they dont show you in the video is the whipping and spurring the horses went to "learn" those tricks and be domesticated just like a dog

@@alerey4363 In this type of case, your statement is false. You missed the point that this type of starting a horse is built on relationship and trust, not violence, force and pain. You missed the entire point of the video.

@@cacatr4495 nope, the video only show the "results"; we need the real MAKING OF

Juan Fonseca your pretty dumb

@@xfuryx4951 Juan, the world is really stressed right now. We needed to believe in something nice. This video is showing people a kinder gentler way to live, and I have practiced it and it works. I know of many other people doing it right too. Apparently you have witnessed abuse. But don't blame everybody. You are bringing hate and ugliness into the world by calling people "pretty dumb". Will you please think about why you are adding toxic ugliness to the world? Please don't accelerate the collective anger of the human race. Say something constructive.

YES!

For real, i threw a saddle on a dude, homeboy was pissed.

Simpler with a horse or a dog than a person.

Oh no a human you can’t never trust is the most dangerous and cruel animal of all.

Why would you

Easy girl you,re okay

Of course, us as humans can communicate with every animal, we just need to learn HOW to communicate with them

When we were young, I realized the truth in what you're saying by watching my twin sister. She wasn't the " smartest" or most well spoken child, but I could watch her from a distance, walk out into a field or a tree lined copse, sit down.. and soon everything that called that area home from bugs to deer, fox, you name it, would venture up to her touch. It was the most awesome thing, gave me tremendous love and respect for my tiny little stuttering sister. I love you Kathy, I love ya sis.

Wise words

Could not agree more!

@@sarahscottageholidaylet.5071 - 😘❤🐴❤

Same advances in dog training. Amazing how much closer we grow through positive interactions. Heck experience with dog training made me a passable parent instead of destructive. Same principle, some people try to ‘break’ their kids into obedience others lead and mold through love. Which do you think end up fighting CPS and which are well cared for in their old age?

Aren't those old training methods more like torture?

I had a horse Who just knew what to do. No training needed. First time I rode her she wasn't thrilled, but she threw the first three off. Tried a little dancing, no big deal. She was fine. She liked trails.

Hi

well, it sounds worse than it is, while not the same really, "breaking" is something that is done in almost all boot camps,for example, they do so to build you back up.

Humans are evolving 💓

I think breaking just the default term now.Most horses aren't actually broke like they used to do.

@@dylanbutler4919 That's true. We do pretty similar stuff that this guys doing but we still call it "breaking". I haven't met anyone that calls it "starting".

I guess you misunderstand it... it isn't conditional... he will never let anything bad happen to horses... but he will go out of his way for someone that trusts him

I’m assuming the maverick was the brown horse and well it’s interesting cuz you see the same thing with dogs You get an older more trained and experienced dog to mentor and lead by example the younger ones that need training

@@SuperMisteryMan01 You train a dozen different horses like this, You think there all going to react the same ? Have you tried it ? I have been kicked, my horse ( a Maverick) has been kicked and we have been bitten. Oh, but we will just video the easy one's. Some take day's and much repetition. A Maverick horse is priceless in this method. Mine is never for sale.

Seeing maverick guide and reassure the Horse the first time he was ridden was incredible- he knew exactly what his job was. No bits or domination- beautiful

@@paigen4883 I'm pretty sure I see a metal bit in the other horses mouth. At first I only saw the rope halter then the other horse stepped into the frame and boom bit.

@@whataqtify Probably a "Snaffle Bit" or a "Hackamore Bit-less" That looks like a Bridle with a bit.

@Andrea Chew And Ray learned it from Tom Dorrance,when he couldnt get through to a colt,he later went on to win on..

@Andrea Chew Tom Dorrance showed Ray Hunt. Ray brought it out to the public.

And don’t forget Monty Roberts. I’ve seen him demonstrate the technique and it’s beautiful to watch

I believe Montry Roberts takes the cake

Monty Roberts

The same here don't know much ,man that was nice. The desire for a horse to bond must be deep because no other wild animal s that way.

Totally!!!

because he loves them

I’ve broken a few horses in my life. My Grandfather had a similar approach to this guy. It helps that all my grandfathers horses are all pretty gentle and they can grow up feeling safe. This next generation of horses walk right up to you within the first couple years. I think he had about 40 head of horses at one point.

Why should people who one horses care about your opinion??? Not saying this method is wrong, I’ve used this method many times with my own horses

@Anna K he's not a horse, don't make this a dumb moment.

@Anna K Idiot.

@Anna K Would nine kilograms hurt your back? It's a horse, they're way stronger than us.

"Just stand still and be quiet, then we can eat sooner"😂😂 (this is a joke)

A good pony horse is worth twice their weight in gold! I have been blessed to have several such horses. They make training a youngster so much easier and safer!

Hello how are you doing

@@davidsonbenson9830 Hi, I am doing good thanks, what about yourself?

@@deputydynamo I'm doing good so where are you from? I'm from Maryland

yes me too. the bond the formed was so amazing and you could see how much they trusted one another by the end. i hope one-day i can befriend a horse like this.

That's a great story. Animals are a terrific gift to us from God.

Oh, that was a beautiful relationship you developed with your friend. Bless you. What has become of him?

@@frida2631 Totally agree.

I too miss my horse. Broke it in wen i was young, had to come back to the states, got injured and had to be put down. My daughter is starting to get into horses now so maybe I can give her what I once had

I have been blessed to get my beautiful TB mare, Lowla. I was in a mountain bike accident May 2018, suffered severe brain trauma, but thankfully I am recovering well. Moved to acreage and my first love- horses. I wanted to work with them when I first left act but my dad wanted me to go into secretarial work as I was top of my year😟. It didn’t last long and slowly I got into the horse world again. I trained as a hairdresser which has served me well along with my fitness and cycling but great to now have a great team mate with Lowla🐎.

No need putting the fear of God into an animal who I see trust you seek

Gosh! What a wonderful way to present what you felt watching what this man does with horses!

Hello 😊👋.

Horses are incredible at picking up cues and body language. Some you can ride without reins because they feel when you ride them exactly when you want to turn or slow down or go faster. They are truly incredible creatures and I owe my life to them.

My uncle still breaks his horses like in the wild west, however after he breaks them. He doesn't do anything rough with them again, he'll look mean while breaking them and then just give his horses apples everytime they see him. Literally, he can be walking outback to feed the dogs, and he'll have an arm full of apples, then you hear the little trot of the horses lining up for a pet, and an apple. When he rides he doesn't use spurs, he kinda trains them like this guy does AFTER he breaks them to regain that trust.

Such a touching story... I hope you are happy nowadays, sir

@@PULVERIZER01 I am usually a happy fellow.. thanks for the encouragement.

@@tinkmarshino by all means, and you deserve all the encouragement, as staying happy nowadays is..... Difficult to say the least..

Hello

Imagine how much we could achieve if we worked with animals of every species, instead of always trying to dominate, control or eradicate them?

absolute truth

If you can, go on a 1-2 hour trail ride. Riding a horse is one the single best things that has ever happened to me.

@@PacificDark I used to ride a lot when I was young & desperately miss it. And I discovered that there are 3 stages to riding. The “hang on & hope” knowing that it’s fun but scary as hell, as the horse is in control. The “OMD I can control this giant animal” where you discover how to make the horse go where you want. And the “ahhhhhhh” moment. Where you learn what it feels like to ride with a horse. Where the two of you are connected & in sync. And unfortunately, that last stage only comes usually from actually owning or truly bonding with a horse. I learnt that last when I was a horse riding instructor at a summer camp in the US. They hired horses from the summer. Poor things just went from job to job with no one really caring about them. They didn’t even have names. I met a gorgeous buckskin called Gump, who had obviously been horribly abused. He was terrified of being caught or tied up & if you approached him when he was tied to a fence, he would lean so far away his tummy would nearly touch the ground. And he’d never let you just come & pat him. I spent the whole summer earning his trust & friendship, and gradually we came to ride together. He didn’t have to follow the herd, but was content riding at our own pace. The second last day, he even let me walk up to him in the corral & pat him. I was truly heartbroken I couldn’t buy him & fly him to Australia. I’ve never forgotten him in all these years. His eyes gazing into mine as I swore I’d never hurt him. That amazing feeling of riding together. And that moment he let me touch him knowing I wouldn’t hurt him but that he could feel the joy of loving human hands.

This is not him putting his ego aside, but him living out his ethical egoism.

RDR lol. I love that game. It just has so much emotion in It.

Ha game logic

@@mysteriousriptides3596 its perfect to the very little and unnecessary details too truly incredible

It is a beautiful thing to appreciate other beings.

Sorry you have had such a lack of good examples in your life. Congratulations on recognizing it and striving to be better. I’ve seen what gentleness can do with both animals and people. Yet this was still amazing. I sometimes struggle to be my best, but see this as another level to strive for. 🙂

Even someone doing old style getting on her bucking her through respects and understands them

They didn’t “need to be broken” humans needed them broken.

It’s hard for us today to realize that in the “Old days” horses were the same as our “cars” and many other things. In a sense, they were just tools. Certainly those that were “daily”riders were well nurtured, but a horse was “one horsepower”. So in turn, the way they were looked at was certainly different than we see them today. Not agreeing at all with Breaking an amazing creature like that, but, in those days and even today many relationships start with dominance that you’d like to believe evolved into a mutual trusting/respectful one. Not my way. Just a way

@@jcmass41 perfect response. It gets you thinking for sure. I am 5’1 and I have a huge German shepherd dog, I get it. I worked my butt off to get the relationship I have with this knucklehead. It was hard for me, because he isn’t a “friendly” dog. He just likes us. I had to learn that was ok, and it was my job to tell people to leave him alone. He isn’t dangerous, but he sure looks and acts like he is. He is 135 pounds. I for sure see the general principles. I feel guilty because I had so many dogs before, I learned from a trainer. I will never do it “my way” again.

@@tj6930 So, you claim that "bronco busters" of past, those intelligent observers of equine behavior, were essentially "wrong", or outright "guilty"?

They never " needed to be broken!" Did you know that Native Americans would teach horses to accept a rider by the man friend mounting the horse in a stream or standing water...doesn't matter. The water is a calming influence to horses and Native Americans are grateful to the Creator for all things in nature. They do not fear, but look at all things as creations put here for their benefit and respectful appreciation. They do not fear horses, they consider them part of their household as much as another human of that household. We could learn so much if we learned to not fear!

I feel exactly same. A horse is such a good friend, they trust us with their lives, yet we don't wrap our thoughts around that notion the same as we would if another human did the same. The relationship gives me shivers when I think of the love and loyalty taken for granted.

I am not sure this horse was a wild mustang, perhaps just a semi feral horse which was never saddled

J. Damn .... I said Broken-in, totally different from what your talking about, my friend!! Totally Different!

@@aucuneideejsp8891 he was only 2 years old.

@@nojnoj3069 Not all dog trainers are aggressive with dogs. Some use the same technique as the cowboy here with that colt. Horses are just like big dogs, they want to work for you when they have your trust.

Old school vs New school. New school creats a better animal. The same with Elephants. Both animals equally intelligent.

@@jpascaln Being abusive isn't being old school. There are plenty of old school men with kind hearts that didn't behave that way with their children and animals.

@@saltycat662 nowadays there is plenty of abusive people as well but gotta agree that positive training is getting more exposure than it used to

@@reniferZiolo in a way i think okd school had plenty of nurturing treatment, similarly to this. But its easier to remember the shocking thsn the typical. Evenrually the shocking, due to sheer efficiency, became the norm. A lot of history is seen through this prism. Kind of like survivor bias, but inverted. We only focus on the planes that didnt make it rsther than all of those that did make it. Similarly when looking st history and even nature we are looking at that whoch is shocking, depressing, or brutal, because apart from those few moments everyrhing is rsther bliss.

You just described my father and the way he treated his horses. I plan to do the opposite with my children and horses though! Break the cycle, it's up to you :)

Same it's my dream to have a horse one day and to have that partnership as we learn and live together. All the best to you. As long as you stay keen, you'll get a horse one day, keep working towards your goal :)

Yes, our history of the last thousands of years was written on the back of the horse. They deserve our respect because our species wouldn't be where it is now without them. They have influenced that history more than any other animal, even dogs.

@@SnidgetAsphodel agreed, i grew up with horses, honestly they are like big vegan dogs lol, they love to cuddle and really love you if take care of them, back as a child/teen i even sometimes slept in the stables with the horses^^
