This Horse Doesn't Want To Be Caught!

I got a half starved feral rescue horse one year ago. She was terrified and untouchable. I subscribed to Ryan's page, did his fundamentals over and over and wrote and asked him questions to which he always responded. Well, one year later she will run to me whenever I enter the pasture. I can touch her anywhere on her body without her flinching and she will lower her head to accept the halter. It has been enormously gratifying to understand this lovely mare and form a relationship with her. Thank you, Ryan.

I am over 75 years old now. At the age of 7, local , and soon not so local, horse owners were calling my dad or my uncle (uncle was a farrier with a very good, and wide, reputation) to ask them to please fetch me over to catch their horses and ponies. Sometimes they asked me to 'show' them how I did it. A 7yo little girl trying to explain to grown people - often very experienced riders! - how I caught their horse, or their child's pony, and how to do it again ... I didn't even begin to understand that I was doing something radically 'different' until I was in my later teens. I learnt how to do what I did at the age of 6 - 7, by spending hours and hours of the school summer holidays watching a group of horses and ponies, one of which I had been told I could ride if I could catch it and lead it out of the field. What I ended up doing was very similar to much of what Ryan Rose does in this video. I've always been able to handle 'awkward' horses; goodness knows why as I'm not the best rider in the world, being entirely the wrong build and shape and very risk-averse!

i‘m so impressed. how can you have such a seemingly instant connection to horses? it‘s like he really speaks their language

I did this technique today to catch 2 scared horses one at a time. Worked like a charm. took a little time, I was patient and they got very close I slowly moved in and put my arm over their head. Got them. My dad watched saying why are you doing that you are scaring them. you don't kw what you're doing. you kw... 😂 After few minutes when the first one walked close to me. He said, I'll be damn, how the heck did that work. 😅 I SAID RYAN ROSE IS THE 🐎 G.O.A.T He said who? 😂😅🤣

0:45 this lady has Such a GOOD HEART, worried about who will be a friend to the horse if she has to sell the horse, just Caring❤

She’s a beautiful looking mare

There is nothing more frustrating than a horse that doesn’t want to be caught. Over the years, I have had to deal with quite a few two and three year olds that had been put out in a paddock since they were weaned, and never touched during that time. When first brought in to the training yards, it was necessary to halter some while they where in the ‘crush’. Easy for us, but bad experience for them, and it took a lot of work for them to be comfortable while being haltered. This beautiful little filly looks pretty calm and Ryan shows great intuition and knowledge here, and as usual his methods make sense, and are safe for horse and handler. Groundwork is the key to success in this situation. Another great tutorial. I love Ryan’s channel, as it brings back so many memories for me now that I can’t ride or handle horses anymore, due to age and health issues. Greetings to all from Australia 🇦🇺!

What he said about doing something pleasant when you first catch up a horse made me remember something that happened when I was taking horse classes in college. I was assigned a black mare named Princess. She didn’t like being caught, she usually gave me the runaround for a while before she let me halter her up to go into the indoor arena where we were having our classes. But one week it was spitting sleet with a nasty little wind behind it, and when she saw me approaching with the halter she came straight to me and basically shoved her head in the halter. It was like “oh, we’re going inside? Hell yeah, sign me up.” I should say she was not hard to catch because she was not well trained, she just knew I was a novice and would try me to see what she could get away with.

I had the same issues with my neighbor's horses that I learned to ride on. It was a huge hassle cornering them to get a lead on them. When I got my own horses a couple of years ago I began giving them each half a carrot when I let them out of the pen each morning - hold up a lead and when they allow me to put it around their neck they get a carrot, then I remove the lead and allow them to head out and graze. Now, every time I hold up a lead at any time of day they dash up to have it put on them. Conditioned response, just like Pavlov's dogs. You don't have to give them a treat every time, just enough to create the Pavlovian response that a lead is a "good thing."

its so refreshing to see somebody practice what they preach, actually taking the horse to eat and relax

Great video, somehow this one really got me. I think the mare needs more professional help than this one time with Ryan but then - I am pretty sure the owner already suspected this and it's why she got the evaluation...

"Find your herd game" @19:04 ... they need to know that you are the alpha and will keep them safe ... they're super sensitive to energy, so if you doubt yourself they will know it and react accordingly ... love your videos Ryan!

Great video. Shes seems like a sensitive horse that appreciates the time taken for her to feel comfortable.

This was the most touching of all your lessons. It was lovely to see how quietly this mare arrived at trusting you.

She is a beautiful horse, there's alot of love there ❤

That was so rewarding to watch! You are so patient and logical. Hope you don't get tired of me saying that!

Beautiful horse!

Love the details Ryan. I so love your methods. So do the horses. ❤️

Always learn so much from these videos

I have learned A TON of stuff from you, Ryan. Your patreon is the best. Keep on keeping on, man ❤

Most terrific video I've ever seen you make

Beautiful creature

My mare straight up gallops away from me in the pasture. Thank you for putting these tips out there for all of us!

There's nothing more beautiful than the language of love, she loved you understood her language. 🥰

Hey Ryan .. love the way you wrap away your string halter without even looking at it while you speak. Then you grab the two longer sides and let the rope slide off your forearm and onto the two long pieces. Thanks for that demo too !

Hello from Northern Michigan! Thank you for another awesome video….your channel is absolutely the best and your technique is thoughtful and patient. God bless❤️

"She needs to learn these things online" had me confused for a second :)

I wish you were in Australia! You are an amazing human 🤠

Beautiful Mare...time, patience, respect , and bonding. 🤗

lovely horse with potential!

This is just INCREDIBLE progress. I'm honestly blown away by how effective (and accurate) Ryan's techniques are ... partly bc if I were asked if only the description of this would work (based on exp w other animals) I'd've said hell NO.

Great video. Love hearing your insight on where the horses mind is at. I always learn something new from you. Always hear, disengage the hind quarter to relax the horse but didn’t really know or understand why that works.

You are a fine horseman, Ryan. I truly enjoy your videos and learn from you each and every time. Take care.

Great information! So many horses passed along as broke or trained without trust being a part of their handling.

I loved this video. It speaks to me about the way a horse thinks and acts.

Excellent video. ❤

Another Outstanding lesson! Thank you!

I am astounded at how you go about figuring and defusing and then befriending ‘the pieces’ Wonderful Great stuff SO much to learn… Thank you kindly One helluva journey 👊🔥🥂 🪖

I like the draw technique for catching up to you, I have my new horse that likes to drag behind sometimes.

very very nice lady much love to her and good luck greatings from Austria and this horse is limping she is very beautiful the horse i mean left or right behind i think she is in pain good luck to woman and horse greatings from Autria

That's a great video Ryan, thank you. So much to take from it and practice, very inspiring. 👏👏👏

Now I even appreciate more my favorite pony at the barn, who wants to come with me as soon as he is released 😊😊😊

As usual, great video!

Beautiful Ryan.

Love your videos Ryan i love watching your video Because i have some horses and i get inspired to train more on are horses still love the videos

Excellent tips

Love love this video!!

I’d like to see the hot lava game with this horse. OH, spoke too soon. She looks like a keeper to me!

Such great stuff! Rudiments of Human/Animal communication, clearly explained! Thank You!

Excellent video!!

i like the trainer mostly but not always

Very helpful!

Another great video. Thank you.

Well done

Some people feel sunglasses are not good.

You are the horse whisperer

Pretty.

Excellent!

I never appreciate when people claim ‘my pet doesn’t like me’ when it is clear the reason for the lack of desired contact is a lack of proper socialization. It’s not all about you. If you want something from your horse, dog, whatever work on it. I have a very ‘spicy’, hyper and opinionated Corgi. She can get very mad when she doesn’t get what she wants. I have made it clear what is and what is not acceptable. And, I have sought to develop a relationship of trust and understanding. She is still a puppy and has a lot to learn. I also have things to work on. One problem at a time. Unfortunately, I am the only one in my household that gets it, which has caused some frustration. Not in my dog as much as towards my family.

I'd like to have her! She's really sweet and smart.

excellent

I have 2 young studs that are half brothers.. both are great at catching me . One is very quiet once he does and respects my space well but the other is constantly in my space and has to grab my clothing. He has is always threatening to bite but has not so far. Mostly just very crowding but does back with voice command . He also steals my tools when cleaning his corral. .(the boys are 4 days apart and 3 years old) any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hard to tell in the light, dun or buckskin? I had a beautiful dun and pictures of his birth🥰

So cool 😊

So has this mare had her foal yet ?

Love

Nice

At 12:56 the camera operator needs to pull back so we can see the whole round pen...please!

Is she a gaited horse? Her hind end looks off? I’d get vet check maybe her shyness is due to pain associated?

Hi I have a horse I was wondering if you could see us my horse is scared of galloping with my daughter he will jump?kick?I don't know but she's just scared that he will buck her off and never be able to stay on she's fell off about 2 time if you could come visit us for a while and teach us how to train him a little better that would be amazing ty :)

I’m glad I don’t own a horse because it looks really difficult

I liked very nice

👍 👍 🐎

nice buckskin! whats her name?

Dumb question: being old school, I always thought of that tool you're using as a longe whip. Is that no longer "politically correct" verbiage, or is a "stick and string" actually different somehow?

Why does she keep lifting her front feet and sort of stamping? Is it nerves? Or might they be painful?

She's not paying attention, either.

Most the time daily hand feeding will tame animals. It is a matter of feeding them with your hands. Get them to eat out of your hands. Soon they like to be near you. That is a good place to start with mistrustful animals because eating out of the hands builds trust.

This video disturbs me because I feel like I'm pretty intuitive when it comes to horses, and I truly don't understand what running over and claiming her spot if she turns away from you momentarily is supposed to accomplish. I remember the first video I saw where you did this. It was in a clinic setting and the horse was not sensitive like this. The horse was paying zero attention to you. And I KIND OF understood that by running and claiming his spot, which you did over and over again, you were showing him that you were the place to be, where he could relax. But I just barely got it. Not really!

The woman wants to get rid of the horse .Horse is not the problem

Pretty.
