Young Horse changes personality after being castrated! 

The coat on that Lucitano horse literally glowed in the sun! So beautiful!!! 🤩

The way he learnt so quickly to walk nicely around that pen, lovely little chap. And the horse ain’t bad too

What a beautiful animal!!….only one year old??…boy!…he will be a quick learner!! He is excited at new things, and likes your reassurance!!❤️❤️

Dan is so athletic - I’m very impressed with the way he’s supporting part of the horse’s weight while he’s trimming its feet. Watching Steve and Dan working together as a team is a pleasure to watch because they both are so good at their respective jobs.

Bravo, Steve, another awesome video. Thank you as always to Tanya for the wonderful filming of all the important happenings. Beautiful little horse who just needed the "Steve touch". Love to you both, thumbs up to Dan as well. Can't wait to see another. Cheers. 😘

You are always a gentleman when speaking to your wife.

And Tanya you’re filming was excellent!

This horse is so precious. He definitely is very vocal about his lessons. Every time he is told what to do, he tells Steve he doesn't like it. He makes me laugh. I love his tenacity. He's telling his friends Steve is trying to kill him and to come help him out of this. LOL! What a good boy he was getting a trim. Nice work Steve, as always.

I never tire of watching you work with these horses! Such amazing animals.

It's brilliant what you do with horses Steve ... no heavy handedness. The yearling+ gelding was all anxious and within no time at all, starting from in the stall and ending with him standing for Dan, we witnessed the transformation into a puppy dog, before our very own eyes. Also, loved the Lusitano mare ... looking forward to those video ... as well, looking forward to Holly's too. What do you mean there's a really good video coming up next week? They're all really good videos ... I have yet to see a "so, so" video and I highly doubt I ever will. They're all brilliant. Thanks again!

The Lucitano just glittered! 👍👍😁

Magic flags, you will be training cows soon !😀That yearling was certainly vocal. Well done team, have a great week.

Great job Steve!! He was a beautiful colt!!!! Glad to see you are feeling better.

All I can say after watching nearly every one of your videos is WOW. You have honed your skill and simplified it for us to watch and understand.in a way that we can get a glimpse of how to begin. You and your family are lovely and I can't get enough of watching. Thank you so much.

Amazing job, Steve Loved how Darcy was just chomping away at the tree 🌳 with the cow 😂😂 xx

FAVORITE video, FAVORITE horse. Cheeky little yearling, just needed a "firm but fair" hand (a famous horse trainer says that). I can't imagine what an INCREDIBLE horse he will grow into!! Thank you for bringing joy to an old, disabled nurse. Blessings to you & your family from Southern California, USA.

Great horse information - beautiful country side and happy dispositions as a bonus - thanks so much 😊❤️

Always a great day when we get an upload from you guys! Thanks for another video!

Steve im sorry but cant even watch your above video at the moment, but I will... I need you to address the issue of the horse that was ill treated in the parade for for royal procession.. if you go to youtube and open up "think like a horse" you will see the footage...would value your olion olesse.. from australia..

Great result for such a short visit, and how funny was Holly with the cows!

that is a very cute horse.

Been waiting for another video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🐎

Steve, , castration under general anesthesia or sedation ? only sedation very often causes problems, ( NO PAIN CONTROL )

the colt looks like he is half Friesian and haven't been gelded ..Lol his neighing talk

Love your work, Steve and Tanya!! 🌟🐎🥰

Beutiful horse

Lovely horse, wish there was some one like you in Scotland . Learn so much, great video

You 2 are so good together ! Love your conversations - and so incredible with the horses - love your videos congrats

Great result Steve. Thank you both enjoyed the video as always 😊

Thank for the lovely video. What a joy to watch you and your team at work.

What a wonderful video. Steve you are a kindergarten or primary school teacher. What a wonderful job that you do!!

All of your videos are fantastic. Can't wait for the next one.

Unbelievable.smashing video again steve.tan. and family.your the tiger woods of horsemanship.thanks guys stay safe ❤️

Another great video Steve, Tanya and Dan! The results made the trim a great success! Beautiful area also!❤

Just AMAZING to watch this horse relax and understand what Steve is asking it to do. So cool to watch Steve's body motions bring this horse into him...LOVE IT! Thank you Steve and Tanya!🥰Sharon.

I absolutely love watching you work with these horses. Your skills are amazing. Your patience and kindness with them while still setting firm boundaries is beautiful to watch.

Great Job from the Canadian living in California 👍😁🤣😅... Cute little colt.. The second horse a Lufthansa was absolutely GORGEOUS... With the sheen made her look like she was made of Gold... Beautiful... Thank you, Tania & Dan for another informative Vlog... GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💙🤗✝️

So chuffed you were able to make a difference with this yearling. He's going to get a lot bigger, better to help him now with his anxiety and teach him how to cope with things now than later. And after expending all his energies whinying and be anxious at the start of the session, then working him, made it a lot easier for Dan to do his feet as he now had a lot of Respect of Space and Respect of Leadership from you. I really hope that the owner does at least some of what you did before your next visit, and I can't wait for that video or the one next week. Safe travels Steve and Tanya. Love from a Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦🇬🇧

I look forward to your videos so much and watching the gentle transformation. Great job Steve and excellent camera work Tanya! Bravo to Dan and Charlotte as well. Thanks James for posting. Love the shiny glow of the Lucitano horse. Look forward to next week! Stay safe and happy 😊

This horse is beautiful & looks like Black Beauty with the white blaze on his forehead. Steve does wonders with many horses who have problems. Thanks for sharing, really enjoy watching these videos. 😊

We have not got horse … but we look after our daughter in law’s 3 horses when she is on holiday. I must say you have helped us understand them . Thank you so much. Eileen and Brian

Beautiful round pen and riding arena! Love that footing! Amazing video as usual, Steve and crew!

Good morning from NZ. Well, you Young family are absolutely super. It's a privilege being able to watch all your wonderful videos. Steve, fair crack of the whip you have every horse respecting and loving you and I bet they'd love to be going home with you. Every day we watch your videos. Just thinking, it must be a bit scary for farriers at times. We love you all to bits. Cheers 👍👌😀😀

That yearling is such a beautiful boy! In the right hands, I can see him becoming a champion! I think he's getting a great start after your help Steve!

I like the sheild shaped blaze on his forehead

Well done Tanya 👏🏼

Oh another treat for my Friday night here in Oz 😍😍 loved it! Beautiful little boy he was too. The colt that is 🤣 Keep up the great work guys 👍👍

Lovely. The Lusitano’s coat is amazing!

Hope they got a different vet........different breeds of horses can need more sedation....

I love your videos! This young colt, Rocker, is quick to learn. He’ll be a great one as soon as he gains confidence with your guidance. And the Golden Beauty. What nice clips of him. I could watch that one all day! Thanks for sharing, it’s such a pleasure watching you work with everything. Stay safe and stay healthy! ❤️❤️❤️

Brilliant as always .Thankyou .

Great result - beginning - must have been such a relief to get his feet cleaned & trimmed, and with minimal fuss, really. Dan & Steve do make a great team - when you think of some of the battles people have with their (poor) horses trying to get them trimmed/shod. Such a pretty horse, very interested to see how he goes.

Thank you for the first video of this yearling with his bad castration, I applied your method to my boy who also has had a bad castration with infection for 3 months, so I had to start all over again with the feet and I also have a fantastic farrier that worked with me and we got it done, I can't say thank you enough to you for your method, it has worked well, and now my boy is great with his feet, for the farrier and me, thank you. Steve Young. From Vicky in Queensland, Australia. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As always another great video, I enjoyed it!😊

I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

Thanks again Steve and Tanya. Great work with the gelding. I suspect my new horse is developing a balking attitude and it would be nice to see your approach. Also, a Q.&A session would be wonderful.😎

Beautiful colt! A bit spicy with his mouth. 😂. Well done. I’m sure Dan was as appreciative as the owners.

He is adorable, so vocal too. 🥰 He has beautiful trot ♥️

Oh wow what a massive difference from the first video he had completely changed after losing a couple of important things lol poor boy! Love this yearling from the first video he is such a sweetie and now gained his voice in this video voicing his opinion lol and very well too lol hope he as calmed right down now all these months down the line another brilliant informative video fantastic plus the other thing i love his very unique marking on his forehead of a upside down triangle never seen that before ever! xx

What a vocal horse, Steve. I bet you wished that you brought along your ear plugs. Ha! I hope that your hearing came back, afterall. I am not joking! From a Canadian Fan of Yours. I truly enjoy your videos, as you are the best horse whisperer that I have known.

Good for you Tanya. That’s an achievement. Keep up the good work. It will pay off in blood pressure, cholesterol reduction and you’ll feel so much better.

What a gorgeous horse. He's nearly purple.

Thanks for the great video .

Oh Steve!!! I've not laughed like this for a long while, this boy knows exactly how to make fun of you with his whinnying!!!🤣❤️

Wonderful to see follow up video. Was looking forward to it! Beautiful boy! Great learning session. Thanks so much.

The change in behaviour after castration surprised me. I was expecting the opposite. I know it can take a few months before calmness shows but - as usual your videos never cease to interest me, make me smile/lol & generally improve my mood. Many thanks & enjoy your holiday. 💕😃

Huge trust thing for horses and their feet, so happy Steve was able to help him get a trim! ❤❤🎉

it seems like finally the colt started to focus on Steve after the shark clip

Gorgeous horse!

Such a beautiful yearling!

I don't mind anxious horses who are "noisy"... because it gives you the perfect notice that their mind is elsewhere. Every time they whinney, I would move them around/disengage their hindquarters with the flag. Until they wanted to stop moving and their attention was back on me. Then continue on. Some horses are harder to read, but this little guy was so vocal he was easy to read! At the start in the arena his mind was all over the place except with Steve, so by giving him things to do and re-directing his attention, he started to get more comfort with Steve and pay attention

Wow that 1 yr old has a bit of a 2 yr old child attitude but so gorgeous. I'm jealous you being around such beautiful horses. 😍

In every case both Steve and the horse he is trying to train enter into this emotional journey together whereby the horse is glad you came to free it from the fog of information he has been trying to digest and in every case the transformation is amazing may both of you go on and on 😊 Dennis

I'm looking forward to the 'biting horse' session. My 4yo mare has just started nipping - not in fun, and I don't know why - so I'll be looking for advice.

Hi , from Gemany

The coloring on his hooves &feet very special indeed Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Part 1/8th arabian? Respect goes a tremendous and various way between horse/owner Amazing. Can I use the Best flag on humans with the unrequested forward motion? jokingly 😄 thus appropriate LoL

You are awesome for these people 🙂

Another great video, thanks..

What a social boy!

Just the video I needed to see at the right time. Thank you. My yearlings the same age I got her in April. I did a lot of work getting her confidence with contact and the halter. Had a half hour lesson with a training on leading as she'd rear leap to one side. for to the point I could lead her from the front no problems, get her to relax in the school, back up by voice command, fly mask etc. During the kids holiday which gave me limited time she had to have oral medication daily for over week which . She's now almost head shy and doesn't want to be haltered, also head in the sky with anxiety outside the paddock. so sadly I feel like I'm back to square one and gaining her confidence again! I'm guessing that youngsters for you ;) nice to see you lunging this youngster in the round pen, I might do very short session myself, ive held off due to her age but I think it will do wonders. Thank you! I watch a lot of your videos but nice to see a horse the same age

Well done with this baby Steve! It was wonderful to watch his panic and calling decrease as he turned leadership over to you. I was wondering about his wide-legged "planting" stance. Do you know if his leg positions become straighter once those huge untrimmed hooves were clipped? Dan may have mentioned something about it ? I couldn't hear conversations too well. Sorry this little guy had problems with his castration. I hope his owner will shower him with attention and your ground work to build his confidence, trust and happier memories. Good video! ❤️🐎🌟

Beautiful horse

I get so much out of your training. And with this young and very distracted colt I am seeing that your skill is in getting the horse to change their mind about just who is the herd leader. When I see you asking for the same movement over and over in a stall I can also see that the horse is just listening to get rid of the “pressure”. But out in the pen where he can see the herd and is calling in a little distress he gradually accepts direction from a new “leader”.

He Got his hand ful with this little chap took some time to get The horse attention longer Then normale fore Steve but of cause he get The job done again 👍👌thanks man fore another great session to Learn from.

This colt has A LOT of anxiety and fear. They say he started acting like this after gelding him, if that's true it must have been an extra traumatic experience for him... I'm sure it's already quite a scary experience with a painful healing process. Plus it seemed like he was still missing mom or his herd. He really seemed like he wanted the comfort of another horse. He seems to be a great little horse though and works very well with people in my eyes. He just needs some help working through his anxiety and fear. If he feels safe and sound it's likely he WILL be safe and sound and be a rock solid steady horse someday. I can see such a great disposition that is inherently in him. A buddy or two would be great for him I think. Horses need horses, he made that very clear. Wishing the little yearling and everyone much Health and Happiness ✌🏽

What a gorgeous little chatterbox! He had things to say! 😍😂

Hi Steve great work look a different horse😁

spot on you hav true horsemanship . show him who is boss is everything they are so smart

Very good time to work him and good age!!…it won’t let him get too full of himself,…love him!👍

Lol so much talk from this young horse, I’m cracking up at his sass!

I’d suspect the anasthesia didn’t work properly when the horse was castrated, like the stories of people who feel everything and are awake but paralyzed during a surgery. Poor guy.

and as for the horse well I think I'd have a personality change too in his situation

You guys should look up Heartland … the Canadian series

Excellent😍

lovely,thank you

Couldn't really hear what was going on, but as usual great results in getting his feet taken care of. Loved the vista and countryside, it's BEAUTIFUL. Seems a shame to geld this pretty little yearling, but sounds like he needed to be, due to being wired a tad tightly in his brain. I have no idea the connection of the ghenghis khan horse clip inserted and how it related, but never mind I still LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and how you train so calmly!

Steve "PERFECT! " 🤠

I love his mane with the two colours. He's a beautiful horse

Being he is o young and has excessive energy, what about him going out in the paddock for a bit to allow him to blow off excess energy before training?

When I worked as vet assistent back in Netherlands, the vet told me some horses get traumatised if they sense or see blood dripping from their body, their minds make them believe they are so severely hurt they are gonna die and it causes the flight or fight response. I think the people here who say it has to do with the sedation got a point there, the horse might have had a standing castration with too less sedation and has gone through this primal fear of having his legs or belly severely wounded. After all they dont know what is being done to them other than that they got wounded by the vet standing at their rear end. In Netherlands it is most common to castrate young stallions standing with minimum sedation and local anesthesia straight into the balls. Aside from being dangerous I think its traumatising for the horses who are pretty aware and unable to defend themselves. During my time there I assisted in castration hundreds of times and I cant remember any of them with full sedation laying on the floor (except for the full surgery under full monitored anesthesia of older stallions who would bleed way too much to do it the traditional way). I had to lift one of the frontlegs up while the vet darted his sedation gun loaded with lidocaine into their balls and they did feel that stinger. And so do they when they crush the cord before cutting the ball off. I swore to myself my stallion who has been gelded this week, would be flat out on the floor in the procedure. He has to as he is older and has been breeding anyway. I totally get it some stallions get issues with their hindlegs after castration. And ever so often totally avoidable.
