I Am This Horse's Last Chance!! 

Most owners don't see the weaning and leading stages. This is where the journey begins for horses! This is the stage that everyyythinnnggggggg your horse is trained to do NOW is built upon!!! I am SO glad you did this video, Steve. It is so important!!

As Arabian horse owner and former breeder... these 2 horses are gorgeous. I have high hopes for the filly. Her mother is the sweetest, and one thing I know about Arabians, they maybe independent and think more than any other horse... but she will be SO QUIET once you get through this and this filly will LOVE people and all of this today, she will learn from it, not be scarred from it.

We all have unexpected difficulty occur in our lives . Don’t fix the blame-fix the problem. I lost my 37 year old daughter to cancer and then raised her 2 children. Nobody to help with my horses. They took 3rd place to the kids. I am climbing out of the pit and hope to restore my horses to be trained, not just handled.

Amazing how well Karen uses mom as a shield and mom Libby is so well behaved. So glad they called for help - that takes real courage. They needed Steve because Karen looks very capable. Lots of skill and lack of history needed in this case.

The dam is an absolute LEGEND 💜 she tolerated so much, without so much as pinning an ear- but that's also why she never weaned this baby, I expect. What great brains all Karen's horses appear to have- even in her biggest fear moments, the filly never pinned, or struck out in any way. Whoever gets that beautiful girl is so lucky.

I imagine the owners having been working with horses for years. We all need help sometimes. I’m so proud of these owners taking responsibility and looking for help when they needed it.

Having bred and raised Arabian horses for over 20 yrs, as well as having owned quarter horses and other breeds, the Arabia's are by far the mist intelligent horses in their ability to learn but...their inherient nature is also very reactive which in an untrained, untrusting horse can be problematic. Once you gain the trust of an Arabian most of them will be willing to do anything for you and the mist fun horse to work with. Its getting to that point is the challenge and with this filly, its going to take a lot of time and patience. Steve is wonderful and makes progresd, I just hope they can help her for the long run.

I'm sure it helps that the filly's mom is calm and right there with her. Well bred Arabian horses like these are intelligent, not "crazy" at all.

She’s the kind that will form a strong bond with the right person. Hope she finds the right mate. She’s lovely.

these are beautifully bred Arabian horses. So nice to see ones that don't sport the extreme dish face, that boarders on deformity, that is becoming fashionable lately much to the detriment to the breed. What a lovely filly!

She is a gorgeous Arabian. I hope she finds the best home. No judgement here. I’ve made a ton of mistakes. I’m so happy you were able to actually give her a life Steve. 🐴💕

She's a beautiful horse, I'm glad they called you to help her!

Haven’t even got to the main part yet, but already compelled to respond following Steve’s call for no negativity…what a fantastic approach and the timing of it in the video appears to be perfect! Kudos

Well done Steve. What a beautiful filly. I’m sure the mum is glad of the break. I’m glad everything is working out well for them both xx

What a beautiful little mare, well they both are. This was incredible to watch. The smallest equine conversations seem to be the most important but the timing of them has to be spot on. Masterclass in horsemanship.

Karen is a good horsewoman...calm, confident, willing to learn and implement. Good team work and mum was brilliant

Dear Steve I cannot tell you how much I respect your comments about critiquing. It is so true and very heartfelt. These situations happen. It speaks to how those owners have asked you to help, this is what we all, watching, should focus on! Thank you, This is a horse which is very important to see and watch! Thank again, I cannot say it enough.

Brilliant Steve your patience is everything !!!!.

She's a smart cookie.

I live on the west coast of Canada and am 81 years old but would I ever love to have that little lady. I love Arabs and have had a few in my life. They are the best.

I felt the filly was relieved as well and was ready to live her life

What an intelligent horse!

Steve, I reckon you were a horse in a previous life. Your equine connection is something else, completely.

Mr Steve, Your patience, timing, and kind firmness are what this young filly needed. I’m always amazed of the outcomes and so appreciate the feedbacks you and Tanya receive. Pure joy 🤩 ❤Thank you for sharing these wonderful moments. May you all stay safe & well. Cheers! from 🇨🇦

What absolutely stunning horses. Arabians are so intelligent and have such incredible stamina, great endurance horses. I’m totally in love with that pretty little filly. If I wasn’t old and a complete wreck I would love to buy her. 🙏🙏 She will find the perfect home. Thank you yet again Steve for giving back her life. 🐴😎❤❤❤❤

No judgment from me, I was still breastfeeding one of my children at 18 months old and many people were so willing to ridicule. We also had health concerns with that one child and when people said anything I just said "Thanks for minding my business but could you please learn to mind your own now" They usually didn't know if I was being a smarty pants or offering a compliment. 😂😂 I can not get over how pretty the little filly is, her mum is a saint just standing there. Well done to the owners for taking great care of their horses. Wonderful work as always. 💕💕 Hahaha I thought the owner almost missed that little nugget of a joke. Too funny. 😂😂

I think what impresses me the most about Steve is his humility. Unassuming and quietly confident. If only the world had more men like this.

Thank you for helping these babies! Poor mom is like ENOUGH! But still, being a mom

That was an AMAZING video! I was so amazed at how quickly that young mare started trusting Steve! It was so heartwarming when you consider the situation. Well done!

Brilliant Steve. So glad you didn't edit out bits where things were difficult. I'm so sick of some 'experts' who criticise anyone and everything and maintain they fon't make mistakes. Instead of talking you just work through everything without panic or getting angry. The results are proof of the pudding. So well done.

W0W!!! ...that was amazing for baby, moma, and humans!!! :)

The mare is amazing. So calm and understanding the situation. Great mom ❤

Well done Steve, Tanya & Karen. What a great job with a beautiful filly and her mum. What a relief it must be for the owners to know the filly now has a very positive future. 🐴❤️

The intensity that filly watched Steve is amazing.

Your work with these horses is spectacular! I love that you teach the owners how to work with them and we get to see all that in action. Bravo!

What an intelligent horse ! Just a shame you couldn’t take her.

Both mom and daughter are sweet minded. They are beautiful horses. Steve is so sensitive to cues from horses. He knows what they’re thinking. Good show!

Steve your approach to mistakes is awesome. I always feel that without mistakes we never know the right way. Thank you and Tanya for being awesome ❤

This encounter with a young Arab really helped me understand my boy who is 16. I have had him for 4 years and he was very head shy when I got him at 12. I have worked with this and he still does some avoiding with his head at times but I think it is just him being him when he isn't "in the mood" to be loved on. He is not a real cuddly kind of guy but is the most wonderful boy when I am working with him. Always attentive and I can see that bright brain asking "what's next?" I think he was wrangled at a young age as he was born on a racing barn where TBs and Arabs were bred for racing. What I noticed about this mare is that she has an underlying sweet temperament with no kick or bite when you are asking her to do things that are very scary for her. She quickly picked up that you really were no threat to her....patience is the key working with any horse as you demonstrate so wonderfully. They connect through our heart beats which I can attest is a key component of working with horses no matter what age. The rope thing wasn't a mistake, just a happening that in the future will be beneficial when further desensitizing her in my opinion. So happy to be a part of your community and a beneficiary of your years of training these wonderful animals....thank you!! Love to you and your family!!

She's a beauty!! She fell madly in love with you Steve, within the first 5 mins. They are so intelligent. Oh boy, how I wish. I'm sure she'll find someone to care for her and bring her on with loads of love and understanding. Thanks so much for your videos.

I dont have a horse but you all do an amazing job with all the horses you work with. Its amazing how over time they learn to trust you when you visit. Keep up the good work

Honestly Steve I keep saying it with every video, but just when I thought you couldn’t surprise me anymore with your skills! This was a pure masterclass. The filly trusted you from the get go because you (as ever) took the time to build trust with her & she felt that. I love as well how relaxed you are & this transitions to horses & their owners. I love how she turned to you when you were close to her & at 38.20 she was completely with you & much more relaxed. I’ve been at the end of very tense equestrians which doesn’t help the horse or people around them. Great to see you all laughing when the head collar went on. What a great mare too. I love how you say no judgement to the owner because this filly has obviously had some health issues & trauma from that. But seeing to her health was important or she’d maybe not be here. Also I noticed this filly didn’t feel the need to kick out, just flight.

Brilliant! I never get tired of watching your rehab VLOGs. It’s priceless how you regularly go on these circuits (for want of a better word), helping some horses/owners and handlers, overcome whatever is hampering the relationship with their horse. Obviously she has had a traumatizing experience as a foal … but you’ve clearly demonstrated breakthrough after breakdown, provided you can read and speak her language. The equine brain is the equine brain … they may all have different stories but they all see their experiences through an equine brain. You make it look so easy Steve, even though I’m sure it takes a lot to keep your concentration and focus, to keep your timing in real time, to both her reactions and actions. So glad you were all able to work this out. I honestly think the mare must have sensed something was off with this filly … normally mares typically wean their foals off naturally. It’ll be truly good to severe that bond, for both. At least now she can get her hooves done and prevent any permanent damage. There may be issues with Vets (as the smell will trigger trauma) but with time she may overcome that too … or at least allow someone she trusts, to administer whatever meds and/or procedures are required. It seems desensitizing may be the key for her. Funnily enough, the mare reminds me of one we had (Nardonna), who was a Polish bred Arabian … the chestnut filly also reminds me of another mare we had (Mandy). Really love the kinds of stalls they have … that sure is a beautiful sized foaling stall as well. Thanks for showing us the other Arabians. They obviously have a lot of love for this breed. Again appreciate you sharing your triumphs (‘coz they always are) … and making it real … the good, the bad and the ugly. Your simple techniques, that anyone can learn with practice and the dedication to timing, always comes through, in the end. Looking forward to the next VLOG … and all the best in Bristol on the 21st. When I was in England visiting my relatives in the Midwest (Coalville), in ‘85 I ventured out for a few days to see other parts of the country. I landed in Bristol instead of heading towards Bath. It sure is a beautiful city. Happy Trails! 🙏🙌✝️✡️❤️

The magic of patient waiting for just the smallest sign of head turn, one foot… rope tension stopped…such a beautiful result of perfect timing… and seeing those 3-4 times and CLICK the horse gets the meaning of what is wanted/needed…Steve’s magic and experience! And such a lovely mum horse! ❤❤❤

Well done Steve, what a difference you made to that gorgeous filly, helped show her the way, and well done to Karen too 😊

What an absolutely beautiful horse some one will be lucky to own her. ❤

Fantastic but I knew you would succeed and what a beauty all the horses looked great and Karen was very good she knows what to do she iisened to you. Well done ❤❤❤

Fabulous!! Yes we grow. From mistakes we make

brilliant outcome for what is obviously a very intelligent little filly.really hope she finds her forever home and is able to thrive from this 👍

Really fun to watch. Karen was a good partner! Very calm.

Wow! Been watching you Steve since I got my QH 27 mos ago. Immensely helpful overcoming the abuse he received before me. THANK YOU….just isn’t enough. He is alive, well and doing fantastic.

Oh my...what a difficult situation. I am looking forward to watching what happens!

Beautiful work. Beautiful horse. To Karen's credit, the filly never kicked nor tried to hurt anyone. It may take some time for the filly to become more confident, but I think they will be able to do some farrier work soon. Well done all around. Karen and the other handlers of the filly understand that especially with Arabs, "be careful what you teach them! "

The Mom’s looking over the door saying somebody help! 😂

Steve - thank you so, so much for your honesty in showing everything as it is - I learn so much from you - also what a beautiful, honest filly - even though she was clearly fighting for her life she didn't once offer any aggression- go on Steve - grab her with both hands - she is stunning ❤️

Beautiful filly, very smart and scared! If anyone can help certainly it would be Steve! That mama is one chill lady❤

I admire you for showing the tough training what could go bad what does go bad how to work through it you don’t just show everything rainbows and sunshine and that’s how people learn. Thank you.

It must be such an amazing feeling when the horse finally responds the way you’re asking it ❤ I heard the joy and relief in your response 🙏👍🏼

She is a real beauty!

A wonderful display of patience and know how. The history element is so important. Thanks for the video.

Steve your lasso skills are cowboy like. 🤠 God bless the owner for going to these lengths to help these horses. The mama looks really ready for this. ❤

really beautiful horses...it's always amazing seeing Steve working with horses ❤👋🇨🇭

I have such high regard for Steve and Tanya Thank You for bringing hope and futures for these troubled Horses and their owner’s You are always the Answer with you’re patience and Expertise ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for helping all the horses and owners.💜😊💜

Such a fabulous video. Karen certainly has the mare well taught verbally to stand and back and the mare clearly understands what is going on, she'll be free of the foal soon enough and needs some real rest and recuperation. The foal slowly beginning to understand what needs to happen to get release and that Steve is a good guy. I admire the owners and Karen in asking for help. Life happens to all of us and we sometimes all need a little help. Gorgeous horses too.

That is a good story. Thank you. Beautiful mare and wonderful mother. And what a gorgeous filly she made. Surely this filly will be a truly magnificent horse, if her future owner is as competent and kind as you.

Steve, thank you for all you do; your insight and wisdom in your videos.

mr young, your anticipation of the horses next move shows your incredible knowledge and experience.

You do amazing work. It's always a pleasure watching you do your magic. Thank you for posting this. In my ignorance, I was always under the impression that mares would eventually initiate the weaning process in the absence of a structured weaning. I thought the mare would start nipping or driving the foal away at some point. Obviously not.

It was just so good to see every stage and small details. Thank you Steve and Tanya. Karen was great. Loved her relaxed attitude and confidence at the end. Steve, my Yorkshire grandmother used to say Patience on a monument but for us if we had none? You should have a statue as a monument to your skill and patience. It’s is so wonderful and your kindness. Always.

Aw she's lovely and I hope that this just the beginning of a very happy future.

Incredible little girl, she is a proper belter ...

There's nothing like seeing a good out come for horse and owner. What great team work. It's awesome to see someone who owns horses be so confident. She was amazing as was the mother horse. I think doing something like that alone isn't easy and working together in this situation was necessary. Sorry there's been health issues that caused some problems along the way. Those things can't be helped. This worked out well and what an intelligent young horse. This time i don't think the owner was lacking she just needed someone besides herself doing all the work alone. When you can whistle and get your horses to coming running proves she's very good at raising horses. I've known many who couldn't do that even after having horses for years. Just put a big smile on my face. Please let her know she's one amazing lady. I loved this video in every way. ♥ Thanks

Awesome work with that lovely Arab filly, she really needed that and it worked well, glad she is doing so good, ❤❤❤

It’s sweet to watch you fall a little in love with that 18 month old. So sweet, you looked up while laughing to your wife then it followed your gaze.

Such a good video! Thank you for helping them all. It shows a bit of why weaning is a very important process in a horse’s life, especially that one.

What a beautiful coat on that sweet filly. Congratulations on another job well done!

Such a beauty! Mom, too. I’m partial to Bays. I love your “See. Chuckle with joy.”. ❤❤❤❤

Super job everyone. tyvm for sharing this journey with us. 💚 Blessings and healing to the farm owner!!!

Brilliant!

Interesting and impressive how the rope is the start of the communication

You SAVED that horses LIFE, STEVE!!! Another WONDERFUL SAVE!! SHE is a BEAUTY!! Hope You & Tanya are doing WELL! HUGS from TEXAS!

the young horse is thinking and thinking.. so nice to see it in her eyes..❤❤❤

I didn't have a doubt that you could help the horse and owners. Great video, thank you Steve and Tanya...beautiful!I think every man would like a longer lead🤣🇨🇦🥰Sharon.

That was a masterclass of perfect timing right at the start once the rope was on ! I never get tired of watching your timing Steve. Sounds like this beautiful filly has had a very difficult start to her life bless her 🙏 . Imagine how terrifying it was for her with being held down and forced veterinary treatment. We don't know all the circumstances and its not for anyone to judge, people are very quick to criticise but very slow to step up and offer help. Once she's got a trusting bond with someone, she'll be an absolute love. Karen is very calm and positive with them, I bet all the horses love her.

How do mares in the wild manage to wean their foals? No human is there to facilitate the process so the mares must know that enough is enough.

To Karen: 10/10. I've never seen an owner going in to the horse they had a history with that did it so naturally and confidently. I'm well impressed!

I’m in the states, My Airy to be exact. I love your videos!!! Real artistry!!! Just LOVE YA’!

What a beautiful filly and great mum. Both have great temperaments. 💕 She seemed to pick up things quickly. Absolutely beautiful 💕

This poor thing was so worried but she can see the world in a better light now. When I saw her beautiful face, I fell in love. That is the cutest face I've seen in a long time.❤

So proud of the owners for reaching out for help. Life sometimes stops us from competing wanted achievements, and getting help is the only way forward without damaging people or the horses 🐎.

What a beautiful filly! I am so glad for her that she got sorted so well by Steve and can now have a normal life!

What a beautiful filly! 💝So very special! You did a great job! 🙏This was one of my favorite video so far ❤

Howdy from the old woman in NEW Mexico, USA. I wish you had been doing this when I was in my 20's, Steve. I haven't had any disasters in training horses, kids or mules, but your calm intuitive approach is to DIE for!! Keep up the fabulous work of saving horses.

I love this Chanel and I don’t even have a horse 😂😂

That filly is GORGEOUS!!! Im not a fan of Arabs, as a rule. Not the dish shaped face. But that girl is very pretty.

How amazing. Everyone , including her mum,did such a great job for a beautiful girl

Oh I forgot to say thank you for showing us your map of where you are going and the talk you give in between the session 😊❤❤

Any of us could be caught in this situation. It’s one of my biggest fears. Those horses are beautiful and I hope they will be ok. You and Tanya are amazing.
