MY CRAZY HORSE'S 1 YEAR TRANSFORMATION 

The horse: Can I go faster? :3 Rider: no The horse: *Bucks off rider*

This ladies and gents is a true equestrian 👏🏻👏🏻

It feels like yesterday when you got him great job Claire

Wow! It’s been a year?! It seems like just a few months ago that you got him! You two have come so far!

I love how you showed how you both struggled a ton in the beginning. But then after a TON of hard work it became possible to ride this beautiful beast!! You go CLAIRE!!

this is a proper horse makeover. from disagreeing with the contact and wanting to run to jumping huge heights and really coming on in his flatwork too. wow, Claire. *inspirational!*

Seriously owen jumps that 3'6" over like nothing.... that's amazing. You have made such amazing progress with him, and I hope that someday I can do what you have done with a project horse!!!! Love you Claire

Wow he’s improved massively well done Claire love u and btw Owen is gorgeous 😂

He’s grown up so much, so impressive how far you two have come and how far you’ve brought him!

So glad to see that you didn't just go straight for a super strong bit like many others do when their horse is too hot/have lots of energy. Stronger bits should never be the quick fix solution to strong horses. Yeah you might be able to get more control or stop your horse easier with a stronger bit, for some that is enough and it is considered a fix, tho it is so far from that.. you haven't really solved the problem, you've just hidden it through a bit that would cause pain if fought. People should know how to work through problems and be patient instead of going to quick fixes. You're an great example, so happy to see you two's progress! Keep on the good work ^^

Claire, you are literally like the best rider ever. You tried out different bridal options, even bitless, you were patient, you are so heartwarming and inspiring. Thank you for posting your equine life❤❤❤

Claire your so patient and loving towards Owen, and that is incredible!! He looks so much better you’ve worked so hard with him and that’s amazing!!

I recognize the barn you bought him at, it’s where my daughter rides! I’m so proud of you for the amazing training you’ve given him! He was meant to be yours!💕

I can’t believe it’s been a year already well done Claire you and Owen have came so far together x

When you said: 'We tried so many different bits.' I was like: 'Gurll... Mhmmmmm.' And then when you said: 'I tried him in a hackamore.' I was like: 'Gurrllll yesssss.' (not because Im against bits but because everyone knows that using a stronger bit when your horse is misbehaving is, well, wrong. So I was really happy to see you looking for what was best for your horse! I really respect you for that. Its incredible) 💕

I am a Jurassic World fan and the fact that your name is Claire and your horse’s name is Owen just makes my heart melt ❤️❤️😂😂 so perfect! But anyways, he’s very cute and made so much progress!! Keep going! You’re an amazing duo!!

I've been here almost since the first video with Owen! It's absolutely insane how far you guys have come along! I actually got my first horse, a rescue, over a year ago! While we're going to be selling him soon, to no fault of his own as he's a little angel now, I'm shocked at our growth! I bought him, his name is Atlas, as this scrawny sad looking horse, we couldn't tell his breeding(now he's very obviously Thoroughbred) but it wasn't like he was emaciated. Within a couple months he was up to a good weight to start riding and ultimately this is where the issues surfaced. It was obvious someone had been nasty to him, he was fairly nervous on the ground and under saddle he was terrified, I remember how he constantly tried to bolt under me or buck me off just because he thought I would hurt him. For the first six months I rode him the fastest I would go was a slow trot, both because I was concerned about him bolting and I wanted him to trust me. I got thrown countless times and always had to be aware of exactly what I was doing so I wouldn't scare him, when I first asked for a canter, very cautiously, he was perfect and soft listening to me eagerly and within several weeks after that I trusted him to gallop full speed and come right back to me! Our trust has grown exponentially and my friends even call me the crazy horse tamer XD Even now he has trust issues with other people and fusses if anyone picks up his hooves but me, I've easily become his human and I'm sure he'll be perfect for anyone wanting a bit of work to earn the most loyal gelding I've ever known! And recently I bought a little rescue Arabian, he's estimated 5-6 years old, he came to me very, very skinny, almost emaciated, I'm thrilled to say he's almost to a healthy weight now! I know from his sale video he is incredibly green broke, not a buck to him and insanely intelligent, I'm hoping he'll be my forever horse as he simply has so much to learn!

You did a lot of hard work to get him where he is now. Great job. Wonderful horsewoman.

This video is amazing Claire and you can tell how educated you are in riding and knowing Owen. The progress is unreal. Some of the stuff that your guy pulled in the beginning I don't know if I could handle it. You did with such grace! Great job and I hope to see you at Rolex!

Great great job!! A wonderful young trainer and the project horse..........proud of you!! Love your patience and tolerance.

Love this Claire! You and Owen have done amazing this past year! I am so proud of you both! And you were so patient with him! So awesome!

I love your channel Claire! ❤ I think your progress with Owen is great! He is such a pretty dapple gray!

He's gotten so much better! I'm really happy for you and I can't wait to see you two continue! 💖

Amazing how well Owen is changed and he looks incredible going over jumps. My respect to you Claire for never giving up on Owen I love you're story with Owen and many people would of given up so my head of to you Claire. ❤🐎♥️ from Australia

clair youve done an amazing job with owen!! cant believe it’s already been a year xx

I’ve ridden several horses with a large canters in the past, and my most recent horse that i had to ride (which she got sold sadly, i’m gonna miss her a lot) had the largest canter so far. they’re really tiring when first learning how to move with them but once you get used to it it’s so nice! she also had such a bouncy trot that posting was really difficult at first. and her canter was so big, that she would get so excited and start galloping all over the arena and wouldn’t listen to my cues to slow down. but i just love how when riding a new horse, the rider and the person find each other’s movements and how they work. it’s pretty magical.

I’m so proud of you two, you have both improved tones and tones 🤩

this is amazing!!! you can even see his attitude change and how much happier he has become 😍 you've done such a great job with him

Your so lucky to have a great horse like Owen he’s truly incredible and we’re all sooo proud of you and how far you’ve gotten with him❤️ your my fav youtuber ❤️❤️❤️

Wow! Can’t believe it’s been almost a year! You two are both champs!! You are absolutely incredible and have made amazing progress! He has really calmed down! You go girl!

I love how considerate you are of your horses and their feelings. It is admirable, the sign of a caring owner. You ride him so well, as a real teammate.

+Claire Eventing I think you’ve done a fantastic job with him Claire! And it’s only been a year! I’m literally almost in the exact same position. A mare was given to me that was “ridden but not broke”, approx 15 years old Paint (no idea where she came from or past training), and hadn’t been handled in 3-5 years. She was very skittish but FAR from dangerous. It took months for me to able to catch her without her being terrified. Every time it was like she was expecting something bad to happen or to be struck in the face. It broke my heart. Fast forward to now, she’s doing Dressage (believe it or not!) and is an absolute super star! We believe she used to be a barrel racer because this girl could go all out and make the tiniest circle you’ve ever seen! She had all the problems Owen did, VERY heavy (like you’re carrying their body weight), bolting off, couldn’t walk calmly, nervous, etc. The only difference would be that she didn’t buck or anything and stayed in the same bit to this day (the HS Sensogan French-Link Snaffle, 16 mm). **NOT meant to be hate, just two completely different horses :)** Now, we’re best buds and is an absolute pleasure to ride. It’s gotten to the point where she’ll do pretty much anything I ask but when my trainer or assist trainer get on, she’s not as focused or willing. Never nasty but “plays stupid” I guess you could say. 😂 All that you and Owen have accomplished has been a team effort for you two and your admirable patience! He is going to be fantastic in whatever he does! This great example of a horse that is going to be a super star but wasn’t “picture perfect” in the beginning. Beautiful horse and beautiful rider! I wish y’all the best and can’t wait to watch y’all’s journey. 😁

Wow... Owen has come do far! You have done so great with him having enough patients to work through the problems instead of giving up! Amazing job Claire you two are the best pair😍😍❤

Really good job, I love to see someone actually givning the horse the time and effort he needs to figure things out. He looks amazing 💕

Aww you guys have come such a long way💗💗 so cute! I’m so happy for you too🥰

SO AWESOME!Congratulations you have one amazing gorgeous horse and he’s got one amazing owner, I wish you two much luck in the years to come. Good luck!👍🏻

i love this video, you were open minded about everything and owen is coming along so nice!

This is such an awesome video. You've done a great job bringing him along, what a fantastic team you are 😊

This is so amazing!! You did so well with him! He is amazing!

I know this is late, but you trained him so well in just a year? That’s crazy! You are doing so well Claire...I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you two♥️

Fantastic work with your horse! He's definitely a project. One with a lot of potential if you have the patience, which obviously you do. Excited to see what 2019 brings for you and him!

So much respect for how patient and supportive you are of this horse throughout his issues 💖 Great job 👌 You're less concerned about producing an animal to win you ribbons and stroke your ego, and more interested in building a trusting, understanding relationship and helping him to relax and enjoy himself and that is what will become the winning combination for you as a partnership 💖 Love this video. All the very best of luck in your journey together xox

CLAIRE IS AMAZING!!! Way to show beautiful perseverance through those tough times! 💖💖💖 You've inspired me so much that I started my own RU-vid channel for beginner equestrians! THANK YOU for your awesome videos, Claire!

I can't believe it's already been almost a year!!! He's improved so much!!!! Great job Claire!❤️

SO PROUD OF YOU CLAIRE! YOU DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB WITH OWEN! BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!!!💕💕💕🐎

Claire!! That’s awesome. I’m so happy for you that you found your lifelong partner of a horse and how hard you work to get him to be the horse you want! It’s inspiring and motivating for people who are going through the same things! Keep moving up ❤️

Well done, you have both grown so much. This is beautiful x

You guys are UNBELIEVABLE! So amazing! So proud!!!!

You are doing such an amazing job with him! I love seeing your progress!!❤️❤️

I’m so glad you two found each other! I think there are a lot of people who wouldn’t of given him the time and patience he’s needed, like you have. Wishing great things for you two!

I love this transformation so much you have done so well with him!❤️

You are an absolute saint for putting up with that and working through it. I wouldn’t have had the patience for all of that

Wow! Your progress together is just AMAZING!

OMG I loved how you commentated and explained everything it was really interesting and enjoyable as it can be hard to truly understand the horses behaviour etc. when just watching so thank you for that!

He’s improved so much congratulations on making him a great horse

You guys are such a great team and have come so far!!

Claire you have put so much effort and time into Owen well done it has all paid off!!

Wow! You have really brought your horse a long way! I love how nicely and caring you treat him! Owen used to be a terrible horse but then you bought him and made him the greatest horse he could be!

Your patience is unreal! You are amazing well done he is looking amazing and the progress is incredible well done xx

This is so nice! Your patience for him to just relax during your rides is what everyone should think of and do! I live in the Netherlands and I know exactly what you mean with "a hot horse" it also took me a year to get mine to calm down but we did it and are even able to go on trailrides with just a neckrope now. Just keep going and you will reach every goal you could think of! As long as you let him take his time which I think you're doing really well!

Wow!…what a wonderful transformation! Owen is such a stunning (and clearly intelligent) boy...admittedly I have a real soft spot for greys! It was awesome to see your patience, commitment and hard work pay off Claire…it’s absolutely beautiful to see trust and genuine connection developing between you and Owen...huge respect to you girl…great work! ❤️

I’m so proud of your progress with Owen!😍😍😍

I’m glad to see someone acknowledging and being happy with their horses growth! And to see it all in one video is even more shocking because the growth is so big over such a short period of time (I’m sure it felt longer up there on his back XD). I wish I had done this for my horse, he’s gone from feral to the perfect therapy horse and if only I could have that in a video. Anyway lovely job Claire! I can’t wait to see you two grow more and see where you take your relationship next! ❤️💕💋

Wow!! Awesome job!! Owen has come soooo far and you two are the perfect match!!💕

I really enjoyed that. The narration over video and your complete attention to detail. That was such a fun watch. Thanks

This is an absolutely amazing story about you and Owen. I love your videos!!

It feels like it’s not even a year u and Owen have grown so much over this year and many more to come❤️

Ah Owen, probably my favourite Dutchy on here that isn't mine. He's just so extra I love it!!

I love this video! It’s so inspiring to see all the confidence through the challenges. You guys make an incredible team. So happy for you.😁

This is such amazing progress!!

You make it look so easy and also you're so brilliant to remember to record your journey. I always forget my camera but I have taken all the advice you have given and put it towards helping my horse Guy

Awh, it’s amazing to see how you’ve come on! We bought our mare in January and she arrived as a unbroken 3 ( almost 4) year old cob mare! She’s now 4 (will be 5 in April) and she is backed and loves going out for canters on the tracks! She has taken it all in so well and we have started to school her more as the winter is here and it gets dark early. She is getting ridden 4-6 times a week mostly schooling and then hacks on weekends for her to relax! I can’t wait until we start taking schooling more seriously and getting her conformation nice and managing to get her on the bit in flatwork and then jumping bigger fences (we already pop little cross poles in the school like 1 time every 1-2 weeks) :)

Wow !! Such a good job you´ve done, a big inspire to my own horse, love your channel !!

You've done a great job with him. Congratulations!! Take it all as a learning curve. The 2 of you learning about each other and what works and what doesn't. You've accomplished a lot since you first started, take each day as it comes, learn 1 thing new everyday about Owen, and you'll do just fine. I have a lot of faith in you, as does a lot of your followers. Stay strong, keep smiling, and remember, There Has Never Been A Dream With An Expiration Date! All the best from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

OMG! He has come so far and is so gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️ Luv u

Wow this is amazing I love y’all and you have so much patience u are such a great rider this makes my heart❤️❤️❤️

So proud of both of you! Great voice over! 💖💖

Just watched this.. Had a smile all the way through, simply because of your great narration and it was absoolutely breath taking to see how you and him progressed.. What an amazing transformation and you, my fellow equestrian, win Most Patient Horse Owner of the Decade! I hope you two carry on doing amazing things together

SUCH A CHANGE OMG! Great job Claire!!!!!

the best dynamic duo for sure!

Y'all are an amazing team, keep up the good work girl!!!

I love this 😍 all the issues you had with him I’m having Rn with my Ottb I’m almost at the point of braking down and giving up this just made me so excited of what can and will happen in the future soon thank you ❤️

Far out! One year already! Congrats! Love you both x

What a great transformation! Good Job Claire!🐎

You did such a great job with being patient with him, he looks so good in the end. 👍👍

I really love your riding! Super soft and really satisfying to watch!

I really loved watching you guys jump. Great job!

This is such a great improvement for both of you!

Wow he has changed so much! You’re doing an amazing job training him! Also, you looked great in that Samshield when you tried him!❤️

Had the exact same problem with my horse. Now we’re eventing ! Most rewarding thing ever. That horse is months of your hard work and effort. Well done !

you're so patient great job with him!

I’m proud you two are so perfect for each other

You and Owen are the perfect pair and this video gave my hope to keep trying my best and not give up on my difficult ponies. Love you Claire!!! And Owen

You two are definitely Going to make the Olympics one day!! Yours and Owen's progress has come so far! I love Owen's adorable face and I love that you have found the best horse!!

He’s found his person💞 you did amazing with him! You’re a talented rider and you’re patient and patience is key!

This was so wonderful to watch, very very well done!!

I like to watch this video once in a while, its gives me so much motivation to keep going with my horse

I love it how you put the horse before your one needs many equestrians need to learn that xx

Absolutely wonderful video. you and him have come so far since the first ride. When you do your first trial with him, start at novice-it seems like he respects the bigger fences.

Omg j needed this im training my horse to jump and sometimes will be good and sometimes not at all 😮 a heart from Clair herself
