I followed you when I was 7 years old Now I'm almost 20 years old, I'm making my dreams come true that I wanted and one of them is a lot of animals, and a mini homestead like yours 🥺 I'm glad I came across your channel Becky again
Yer doing GREAT! I have 65 years training horses in “real world” situations and there’s a lot of armchair know it alls here. You have a VERY NICE colt there.
My baby horse just turned 14 months old. I’ve been working with him since I purchased him at 7 months old. He’s doing great. I’m not a “horse trainer”, but he’s learned what I expect of him very fast and I’m also learning his personality. I think it’s great when horse owners train their own horses ❤
Really training your own animals is for sure the best way. They come out so much better, and now a days there is no excuse to not learn how to do it yourself☀️❤️☀️
OMG you look fantastic, last time I saw you probable 5 years ago, I used to see your videos again and again, not much time now. Beautiful little horsey, Sofia
I find their lightness or dullness is just who they are and you can’t change that. The only thing you can do is train them the moves you need them to know. Some are dull and they are dull for life, some are light and they are light for life. It’s best to except them for who they are and just teach them the moves you need them to know, lead, stand, whoe, back, stand tied, load in a trailer. You know the basics ☀️❤️☀️
Remember. You cannot train a horse if you have a heart connection. I think this is a young horse. Just ask the horse and when it has grown enough it will simply do what you ask.
THAT Cortado is 'full of spice'! You suuuure are a 'natural' at training animals Sunshine Becky! I like your attitude of 'bucking' man-made rules and proving it by trial and error. What's 'wrong' with that? Thanks for the vid my dear...p.s. I can tell Cortado just loves you, as all your other fur babes! Health and blessings! :)
Thank you Marie. He is very gentle and sweet. The opposite of Charlie hahaha Charlie doesn’t want or need lovey doveys, but he is a Machine and so fun to ride. I’m happy to have one of both. ☀️❤️☀️
Might suggest training to take into account the breed is highly prone to eventual blindness. . Also think about starting to add blind aids to the pasture with sound bags tied to the electric fence, trees ,other potential bump hazards.etc...it's heartbreaking how many appi's wind up at auction because people are not equipped to accommodate the needs of a blind horse. It just takes a bit of preplanning . Blind horses make excellent riding companions when trained with ahead of time . He's very cute Becky!
You must not know much about good foundation bred DNA. When a breeder knows what he is doing and DNA tests his breeding herd. His horses don’t have those traits. ☀️❤️☀️
Sorry! You are asking him to back and when he reaches the end of the rope, you continue to ask him with no rope left to do it. You should have moved forward and he would have continued to back. The turning his butt, you should habe been standing at his mid section. Watch some colt training like Down under Horesmanship. The foal is smart to have figured you out as your directions are not clesr, no consistent body language.
Oh please, I have trained many horses, donkey, ponys, mules to both ride and drive without any problems or injuries. Do you know what animals hate? Nitpickers and to be drilled by perfectionist. ☀️❤️☀️
My rope is perfectly fine. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Perfectionist never accomplish anything and never enjoy anything, they are too Bussey focusing on being perfect☀️❤️☀️
@BeckysHomestead it's about working smarter not harder so you can stand in the center with very little movement I like to set on barstool with a back when I groundvwork my horses
Oh please, every animal needs to be trained. Lots of people get hurt and killed from untrained horses. They are not that delicate and if you can’t see that all my animals are happy and healthy AND trained, you clearly don’t know what your talking about ☀️❤️☀️
@@BeckysHomestead Listen lady I absolutley know what I'm talking about! I had a 4yr old gelding very green and barely broke to ride! I trained him very successfully and PATIENTLY, never forced him to do anything especially so young! It's gradual the most important thing is trust and that bond! Sorry if you took this offensively but you have a weanling there very skiddish and not wanting to perform for your camera! You're right he is an animal, and people do get hurt, people who don't know what they're doing for the safety of themselves and that animal especially so young!
Looking back, and today, you have done nothing without your son, Scott, and/or perhaps your offscreen husband. I cannot relate to that at all (barbara, from. seattle. Using a male alias for security reasons.)
Scott my oldest son shoots the video and edits. I found my first peice of land, owner financing, bought it, found my second peice of land at a great deal, jumped on that, built my little log cabin myself. Built a chicken coop, put in all the fencing myself. Worked hard, bought a steal carport and used it as a “barn” . Trust me if you work hard, think smart you can accomplish a lot. Let me add that I homeschooled my sons as well. Scott said one day, mom, I’ll sell my little place and you sell your little place and let’s buy a bigger peice of property and move your cabin and Homestead together. We looked and looked and found this beautiful property I named Homestead park!! Now Scott is going to build his own little place. Your life is what you make it!☀️❤️☀️
