Texas Bronc Ride/Colt Starting 

I’ve broke and trained many horses. I always like the ones that had never been touched by someone else. More often then not most horses wouldn’t buck. Starting colts you have to be quick. You have to keep the horses attention. By putting pressure on them. Not to much pressure that they freak out and don’t know how to respond. And you reward the slightest try. Gotta be black and white with them. Every time I do this you must do that and I release. Then you ride on a draped rein. If your putting pressure on the horse your telling him to do something. So many people get on tell the horse to go and stop at the same time, or tell the horse to go left and allow it to go right.. It causes problems and could get you hurt!

@@kevinrickard4830 Yes, I don't like to redo someone else's screw ups either. Takes 10 times longer to undo mistakes than doing it right the first time. As for attention, they don't have a long attention span, some longer than others. To continue past that attention span is a waste of time. I also don't like the term "breaking"! The man I mentioned made it clear to me he didn't break horses, he trained them, and to do that he had to establish himself as "leader", not master.

That’s right you’re not the boss you’re the leader. Being a good leader the horses trust you. John and Josh Lyons put on a obstacle course at the trail horse in Lexington Virginia. One of the obstacles in the course is a 40” bridge you go up and it drops off . Horses don’t have good depth perception so they would step and there was no ground. The horse had to trust you that it wasn’t stepping off a cliff. Once you gain there trust, they know your not letting a lion tiger or bear get them. They will do most anything. You’re right you are their leader not their boss.

That's called a horse whisper some s got some don't I v been working with wild mustang s most my life takes a lot of time

@@rexchristian3067 Yeah, Rex, I got this man to help me start a colt, his instruction was valuable to say the least. And I went to the ranch he worked for and watched him to learn. But he instructed me to use methods I never saw him use. Only thing I can come up with was he had some sort of ability of mentally communicating with horses, as weird as that sounds. I asked him how he did that, only answer he gave was to do what he did one had to completely understand how a horse thinks. I have never seen anyone who could come close to his ability!

He is wearing a saddle pad

i like u peppy i really do ty so much :)

my friends trained a 2 yr old filly and she was the same way.

@Dillon you are actually the one doing it wrong. You should do a year of ground work...you shouldn’t train a horse in a week....

@Dillon i understand some people think doing groundwork for that long is too long or weird but for one he was too young to ried and he was and is still very skittish and he doesn't trust new people at all. imagine being taken away from your mother at a young age and being herded up with a helicopter, chased around by other horses, to be at the bottom of the herd and not get to eat every day?? imagine being shoved into a trailer and having people you don't know poke you and try to train you? i needed not to work mainly on groundwork with him i NEEDED to build trust and love between him and i, that is why i didn't try to saddle him and scare him into being afraid of people. he is my best friend and i love him and vice versa for him. He needed the extra year of just bonding with me and someone to love him just like a mother. That is why i spent so much time doing groundwork and showing him new things, and building up that bond that we have now.

@Dillon I’m just saying you should train a horse for awhile...take it slow

@Dillon I’m a equestrian...I’m a jumper...who ar eu to assume I’ve never seen a horse in my life..

The saddle pad isn't going to make a difference for the 20-30 minutes he's going to be saddled

@@samclegg2805 we can agree to disagree but it does. it's like if you wore shoes with out socks its uncomfortable right? and you want the horse to be as comfortable as possible. if you have a saddle rubbing its withers raw that horse will develop behavior problems.

@@lillianwoods2290 shruggie, yeah if it rubs their withers raw they will misbehave. I have ridden dozens of horses the first time with thin blankets or nothing but sheepskin and not ever, even one time, has the 20 minute ride ever caused a problem with young horse. Your sock analogy sucks by the way. Do you put socks on to put on your flip flops when you go grab something out of your car? Or are we having a competition on who can ask stupid nonsense questions that don't have anything to do with the subject matter? I kid I kid. In all seriousness 2 year old horses are slippery and on some of them anything more than a thin blanket can make it very difficult to keep your saddle on them and if you can sometimes you get to where your going and you don't have a saddle pad. I've lost a few pads off 2-3 year old horses on gathering trip. You seem like you have way more experience than me so you're probably right.

@@samclegg2805 see your just a abusive human I’m not even Gonna call you a rider your just a horable person and shouldn’t be around animals your “example” sucks like you idc what you say to me a saddle pad helps a lot and if you don’t use one it proves your an abusive person. Not using a saddle pad can cause back problems, sores, and a sway back. A sway back in unfixable, the saddle rubs into the horses bones and shapes them and makes a sway back. If you think you shouldn’t use a saddle pad how bout you use one for a day and see how much better your horse acts bc your horse prob Bucky you all the time. If it had a chance to run off it would bc it’s scared of you bc you abuse your horse. Your horse prob has a sway back and your to blind to realize coward

@@yourlocalweirdo5389 *too* blind *too* realize. The people who know what they are talking about always resort to personal attacks on strangers. You know nothing about me nor my experience. I am speaking to what I have experienced, if that upsets you, well that says way more about you than it does me. I didn't say you shouldn't use saddle pads, I said it won't make a difference for a 20 min ride in a round pen on a 2 year old horse. I have no experience with horses with sway backs, thus I cannot speak to whether your assertion regarding pads preventing sway back as fact, you may be right. I fail to see how what I have conveyed as my experience with livestock has given you license to brand me a "coward" so if you happen to be right about that we'll have to admit that's a coincidence.

:) work horses are trained different than an event horse. It's called...work.

@Sesshomaru Uzumaki Rubbish!

This is not a good way to train any Animal. Idc if they are a Sporthorse, Cowhorse, Workhorse or Companion. It's not true horsemanship it's just a traditional form of abuse.

We all break them different huh

Boy did good. Training men not beasts lol

Exactly!

Ron Fillmore it’s crazy how many people skip through the ground work and have problems later on because of it.

@@henryhenry903 Mostly because too many people still have the notion a horse must subdued. The man I mentioned below taught me to be the horse's leader, not its master. Big difference. Horses depend on their leader. Over the years I had only 2 buck with me when I first got on. In both cases it was because I had not carried out the ground work quite as long as I should have.

Ron Fillmore yup you are right when I started working with horses i was told get on and get back on if you get bucked off which I did and learned pretty quick that the end result wasn’t quite what I wanted so I started reading and going to clinics and came up with a good mixture of bits a piece that work good for me and I have never looked back, on average I put a month of ground work on any given colt I start, and you really just get on and continue training after that because they don’t buck and you aren’t going backwards

@@henryhenry903 Exactly! I teach them everything they need to know from the ground before I get on. I use long lines attached to the sides of a halter and ran through the stirrups, tied together under the horse. Obviously, the horse is already accustomed to the saddle. Forward, backward, stops, turns, yielding the front and hind quarters from both sides. Then it depends on the horse. My usual method first time on is to ease up and stand on the stirrup. If horse seems OK with that I will swing my leg over and step down on the off side. May repeat from one side to the other 3-4 times. If the horse is nervous about it, that's all for that day. If not nervous, I will eventually sit in the saddle for a while and let the horse relax. If horse is still relaxed I usually ask for a couple of steps backward, something I have trained extensively from the ground! If the horse handles that OK, I'll ask to move forward. Keep everything low keyed, maybe a few turns both directions! That is usually all I do the first ride. This system has worked well for young horses and one 13 year old and two 15 year old mares that had never been ridden.

The old cowboy way is stupid.

@@gerrycoleman7290 no it’s not

@@ricobustos7883 Let me put it this way..........The old cowboy way works. But it is not in the best interests of the horse. There are better ways.

Probably a lot better then the way you do it 🤣🤣

@@rilynnmcclure4546 : As if you had any clue . Moron .

Training and breaking horse

I do not fucking know

STOP SWEARING!

@@michelletrombley9960 no

Yes, they are. That filly will NEVER FORGET SHE WAS SAFE THE ENTIRE TIME. She didn't know what he was doing or what to do herself, but especially when she fell, he stayed calm, didn't jerk her, and so now she trusts him.

@Dillon : Well ... to twist an ear is a " Distraction " . So is using a twitch , lip chain , to hold a skin fold on one's neck , to put a finger in one's eye ... You are not talking to a rookie .

@Dillon : My IGNORANT friend ... one doesn't merely " hold " the ear . One TWISTS it and the harder you twist an ear , the better it's effect . IF you had any education AT ALL about equines and the means of " restraint " , you would know this so go bot yourself up your bum . P.S. I'd bet that you've no idea what a " Bot fly " is ... Google it .

@Dillon : A hahaha ha ! Beginner . Rookie . Moron . You've never eared one before , have you ? Keep talking . I love the hole that you're digging for yourself !

This is ridiculous in this day and age. Y'all are pathetic. Watch some Mustang training videos or Pat Parelli. This horse will not respect any of you. You could have really hurt that horse running it into the fence. No horsemanship here.

Amchav 71 its not called a pony horses it's called a pony and I am not mean I swear lol

@@carlosjrodriguez2036 they are specifically talking about ponying horse... its where you ride another horse next to the horse you want to break

@@Latarielle I sorry I thought you where calling the pony a pony horse

Me too

Lots wrong I'd say. Poor pony being stuck with ignorant "trainers".

Theses people are just RUDE I feel bad for the terrible treated horse

Every horse does this when being ridden for the first time. They don’t just let you ride em right off the bat.

@@garrettwade3623 That is a very false statement. It's normal for a horse to buck a bit when they're saddled for the first time, but they shouldn't be taking off like a bronco when you sit on them for the first time. I've seen many horses be completely calm when started undersaddle, no bucking at all. Sometimes there's an odd case but thats not due to a lack of prep. There are plenty of videos out there that can prove your statement wrong as well.

@@garrettwade3623 no i have a horse , that horse is being mistreated

Ronnie Pitchford the other way how they do it now and day its to try and get the rope around the horse's foot and try to make it bow and get it to trust the person

@@bigmannjunior5865 what in the hell kind of garbage is that? That's old style, forcing a horse to do things. The proper way to start a horse, in my opinion and from experience, is bareback. Don't even introduce a saddle until that horse is moving off your cues bareback. Introduce the saddle when you're ready to advance from a walk, 9 times out of 10, the feeling of a saddle is what makes them buck, not your weight. I've trained a handful of horses and starting this way they never buck with me unless something startles them. You have to build up from ground level, trust is a two way street.

Big MannJunior are u stupid.?

@Madison Castillo and by that you mean? Point is, horses are unpredictable. The process people are seeing and judging is less then 3 minutes long. Starting horses can take up to a year. We don’t know the whole process, and no matter how much preparation and desensitization you do there can be an explosion of natural fear caused by instincts. You cannot train out natural prey behavior. This kid sticks in his saddle, and is persistent. He’s confident and calm. Everyone is different, that’s obvious, but so is every horse. Horses can be ridden for the first time and they act like they’ve been doing it for life, horses who’ve been risen for life can still manage to explode in random situations.

Ok girl no, there is a better way, and it’s not that other people who train horse’s don’t “ have the stones to do it this way” we don’t have the heart to let our horses or ourselves get hurt. Horses can snap their legs like twigs and this is a good way to injure your horse not to mention the man. Yes all horses have temper tantrums and bursts of energy that you have to ride out but this is no way to solve it. We are not in the old days anymore, there are different and better ways of starting a horse, people like this don’t know better, like this, or believe it’s right but it’s not.

@@sinaravelazquez7472 honey, you’re literally solidifying my point. You don’t know the whole story, horses are prey animals. They’ll react to things by panicking if they aren’t familiar no matter the amount of prep you put in before hand. The rider remains calm and sticks in his seat and tries to maintain his weight distribution despite the fit the horse throws. I never said we were in the old days, but these trainers understand horses will react however they end up reacting we just have to ride it out and find a solution as we go.

@@luciaramirez7191 that’s not hat I meant, by the old days I mean people breaking horses. There are safer ways of starting a horse ,for the people but mostly for the horse because if it gets hurt to a point it will be put down. And I understand completely, horses will spook it’s natural and unavoidable and you have to ride it out. I was talking about the starting of the horse not the riding. Starting a horse like this can hurt it before it’s fully trained.

@@sinaravelazquez7472 the horse isn’t being started JUST now. Obviously they’ve undergone haltering, leading, handling, grooming, desensitization etc. you’re assuming their only method is to throw a saddle on and hop on and hope for the best, when it’s pretty obvious that’s far from the truth. Also, I never said anything about this being the only method of starting horses. So like I said before, you can prep as much as you want, it’s healthy that you do, however a horse is still an animal. They will react to unfamiliar situations and conditions, no matter the preparation. We just have to learn to handle it and work through it and hopefully get to an extent of managing that behavior and teaching horses to react with care and attempt to understand the situation rather then freak out. This is not the only starting this horse has been through, obviously. How you can’t see that, I’m not quite sure but I suggest you think a little harder instead of assuming this is the only training young horses are brought into.

They’re breaking in a fresh colt that’s never been ridden before

The old cowboy way of 'breaking' a horse. Of course, it is stupid and bad for the horse.

Your pry some city kid

@@paytonthomas1689 Far from it. I can also spell.

Shut up I'm on the ranch every day and starting colts and riding bulls and punching fools.

@@paytonthomas1689 HaHaHa, if that's the case your a slow learner.

Shut the hell up bitch

Stfu you probably don't even know how to ride a horse.

Fuck u she's right and in my opinion they shouldn't even have a horse bc of this

@@aamtnfndnfng7749 no you stfu kay is right

@@aamtnfndnfng7749 You definitely need to watch some of Buck Brennaman’s training videos.

as he said in the description, he dont wanna hear no whinin from u city slicker horse trainers

You mean pat??

I train the new school way and I always will but I've ridden plenty of great horses that were twitched with a bag over their head to start. It's not a pleasant experience for the horse and I would rather hook up with one and hopefully they never buck but there are a lot of good horses out there started the old school way.

Faster results, never better results.

Spirit breaking? We must be watching 2 different videos....

Thresher Parr one movie one video lol

Tracey Williams they are doing it they way they want to do quit bad talking them you probably couldn’t ride a bronc you Just a keyboard warrior

Tracey Williams is right. The Missipi Cowboy, Don't educate people when you have no idea what you are talking about. Stick to riding a rocking horse.

Loïs Keeken they want to do the old way let them don’t be jackass about it

@@themississippicowboy1576 Well, you started the convo, i just spoke my mind.

@@themississippicowboy1576 This is absolutely not how you do it. This is shit riding. Grabbing onto the nose as he mounts? As soon as the horse moves pull back hard on the thin rope around the horses nose? The old way is called the old way because it's old and outdated. We have moved on and have the education to know there are MUCH better ways. If he were to take a month or two working with this horse this bucking episode would of never happened. Train your horse properly

the only reason they don't have a bit is because when your breaking a colt or a filly they don't use bits at the beginning because the horse is either just learning about the halter or the horse is green broke. but I promise the bit wont hurt the horse. no worries

Get off my You tube : The saddle pad ... they probably give it to the poor dogs who sleep in the stable . The horse is no friend and more than likely , neither are their working dogs . Just Machinery things . Sooo ... what of their women ??????

some of them DO know.

watchgoose no crap but do you really think everyone on here knows how. No.

River Williams eh I don’t know

You right

No, quarter horses are just smaller. I have a quarter horse whose 8 and as long as his legs fit in the stirrups and the horse isnt physically struggling then it's fine. I'm a vet and hes right about the weight limit for this horse.

@@kyracox4452 Actually there is everything wrong with this kind of "horsemanship".

Kelsey May I’m sorry I posted that a while ago now that I go back and look at the video I see everything is wrong with it I apologize

Kelsey May yes it is wrong and I feel poorly for the horse

You could not be dumber

Yes it is

I feel for the poor horse.

There is if you look closely. Its just a thin small one. It only covers the area of the saddle

Idk every horse is different but I’ve noticed with some at first it’s easier to just put the pad or saddle on alone idk why but some get stirred up when you try and put the pad then the saddle
