If only I knew then what I know now. When I was 14, I started a mustang - my first horse that wasn't already a finished cow horse. The first ride was anything but boring! Wrestling a saddle onto a filly who'd only been gentled and trained to lead seemed fine to me. The rationale to lead her out into the middle of a pasture and get on that particular day was that we'd gotten a fresh foot of snow in case I got bucked off. She didn't buck, but I learned she had a great stop from a gallop, and I was thankful for the heavy quilted overalls when I landed on a barbwire fence. So I guess my question is, where was Ryan and the internet in the 70s? 😆

Ground work makes the dream work? First horse I ever started, I'd put in a lot of time on the ground. By the time I threw a saddle on her and threw a leg over, she was like, 'whatever.' Twenty-five years later and she's still with me. I love Ryan's approach, and he shows me I still have things to learn.

“It’s like bacon and eggs - the chicken’s involved, but the pig’s committed.” Lmao! So true! Hahaha 🤣

Pretty handsome looking horse, seems gentle

That colt is an absolute sweetheart! I haven't had a horse in forty years but he makes me want one again!

The colt is stunning!

I like this horse. He's got a neat personality. At around 18:10-18:30, you can see him wanting to sort of mouth and nibble at Ryan's boot in the stirrup. While mouthing isn't generally a "desirable" trait, I do see the horse is making an effort to soothe himself by mouthing. Ryan had just mentioned that the horse's lips were a little bit pursed. Just a bit of tension in the mouth and jaw. The horse almost immediately nibbles on Ryan's toe. That chewing, mouthing motion helps release that tension in his mouth. He immediately licks and chews and mentally releases some tension about having a rider on his back. I point this out because often people get a little too black and white about the horse's individual behaviors. "I NEVER let my horse eat grass while I'm riding." "I NEVER let my horse nibble on the end of the rope!" "I would correct him for mouthing at your boot." Sometimes we can get so obsessed with correcting things we don't like, that we can miss that the horse is doing his best to relax and process the new information. I really like how Ryan chooses a middle of the road approach by taking everything into consideration, and choosing a moderate response that fits the situation. He's a big picture guy. Well done.

Yeah, I'm a cat guy that recently took some Riding Lessons, and so I was watching closely and was glad when I started hearing "Good Boys". My Pet Peeve about Cats and Cat People is that they don't talk enough with rewarding language, and we all have to kiss our Animals more... they know what that means.

Ryan’s work on this colt is spot on, and his skill with these young horses is exceptional. He is quite right about the first cinch up being very tricky to achieve without a wreck. I am in my seventies now and I no longer ride, but I remember that I was once charged with starting a bunch of unbroken geldings that were 5yo and never been started to saddle. I tell you it was a real circus. After a lot, and I really mean a LOT of ground work, the first feel of the cinch on a few of them made them throw a fit. At the end of it all I owned a destroyed saddle along with other pieces of gear. They turned out OK, but I really learned a lesson in having the horse prepared for the first saddle. Love the channel Ryan, your videos brings back a lot of memories. Greetings to all from Australia 🇦🇺!

Thumbnail and title is kind of click bait -ish. You don't need to use these kind of tactics my friend. Thank you for helping folks become better horse people.

Yes! We want Ryan on 2025 Road to the Horse. I also love Lambeau.

What a beautiful horse

Yessssss. Ryan Rose NEEDS to be in Road to the Horse.

He’s stunning! I think I remember Ryan saying his wife rode English? He’ll look amazing all tacked up!! I hope we get to see more of him😊

What a nice horse! Gentle, calm and excellent conformation. Lovely!

Love how easily the come back in to you, they genuinely enjoy being arpund you and want all you love and attention

He’s such a gorgeous looking colt. His colouring is beautiful and I love that his head is a different colour to his body

We want to see Ryan Rose at Rode to the Horse in 2025.

What a lovely boy!!

You belong in Road to The Horse Mr. Rose. I left a post there to support you. I remember when it was held in Murfreesboro Tennessee. I came to California from Tennessee to learn a better way.

I like his approach too; and love it how he works with horses; he’s so smooth; and yes we can learn every day something new 😊❤

YES!!!! I want to see you at RTTH!!!! This will be our 14th year!!!!

My gosh he is absolutely gorgeous! Just beautiful Ryan!

Love this colt. He's a smart and mellow guy. My kind of trail or performance pony. He has a nice way of going, and he's already reaching down and forwards with his head and wanting to use his back better to carry and balance under a rider. Love to see that, especially on a first ride.😊

Wish I knew all these tricks then when I was training my sons horse. Would of saved a lot of sour backs and rumps!! Lol

The bacon and eggs joke was golden 😂😂😂

Definite yes for road to the horse!!

Message sent! YES! I am ready to travel to watch you do your stuff in 2025 too!

Sweet session and a handsome colt!

yes!! would love to see Ryan Rose in Road to the Horse in 2025

What a cute lil' dude.

I'm not personally fan of roans, but, He's beautiful!

❤❤This Yearling Reacted Well Ryan

Beautiful first ride! Yessss!! Ryan Rose as a colt starter in Road to the Horse 2025!!

That was great to watch.

He's really beautiful your wife is very lucky. He reminds me of a Solo colt

Beautiful horse!!

That is a beautiful colt. Love that Roan coloring! Looks like a little favor on right front.

Yes!! Ryan Rose, Road to the Horse!❤❤❤

He did beautifully!

The old dressage masters rode in walk forever so there’s that. Walk is so important.

I think it would be really cool if you did Road to the Horse! It was really fun to see the first ride on this cutie after seeing him at the symposium. I do love a bay roan, and he looked like he was going to be smooth, it was nice to hear that he is!

Yes, I liked this colt starting session! Very gentle and calm and the colt could understand and was already so tame from Ryan's methods. I like learning from you! I really hope to see you in Road To The Horse!!

One of my favourite things about you Mr Rose is that you are honest and humble about how dangerous horses can be. No shame for anything that keeps you safe, let alone something as simple as holding the saddle

I would love to see Ryan rose in road to the horse!!!

Beautiful training session.

YES to Road to the Horse!! Truly love your approach to starting horses and this is an awesome video. Can I choose a favourite video?…all of them! Sponge Bob rocks! Love your mind set when you work with a horse, you are very keen on your horses expressions and your communication is bang on which makes what you do so easy! I learn a lot from your videos and am very grateful for you sharing and posting.

I have gone to at RTTH for the last ten years, is a fun event. You would be good, I think you would enjoy it!

sweet horse!

Ya make that look so easy cowboy

Ohh, good boy!

Hey Yeah ! ! We want to see Ryan Rose at the 2025 Road to the Horse Event ; His training method is One of the Best ! ! !

So nice to watch,

When handling and asking him to move a long line I like to make a difference or Balance my core body in relationship with his body(broad side to broad side) and when asking a horse to move forward I position my core behind him and when asking to slow or stop I change my core to infront of him. This is 'Horse Speak' they understand very quickly even a horse you've not handled before as horses are the best at reading body language. Remember to manage your feet ànd minimize your movements to reduce possible confusion. Try it and be amazed! Riding and Driving Coach for Connections Boarding Stables Salinas CA

thank you great comments as you went thru

Yes Road to the Horse please!!

My mare was never cinchy till i had her pull a water heater. I shoulda known better. She moved that thing 100 feet, then she jumped the fence and had lunch. Lucky the line broke. Now i cinch her while shes snacking on something.

Fascinating. I've never done any of this before but this channel helps me relax. (If I may, does anyone have some advice if I wanted to test the waters )

Road to the horse - Ryan in 25!!!

When it comes to the "first ride", most of the folks I follow will get on, then get right back off. The theory being, that the first time on their back is a lot of pressure, and that by immediately getting off let's them know that that pressure will go away. Then they'll call it good, or repeat the process a few more times, before asking for those first few steps. Your thoughts on this please. ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎🐕

Lol the thumbnail! Didn’t know Emily had “Lambo”😂 🏎️🏎️

Awesome first ride is there a progress update video on him?

Nice horse

Would love to see you at RTTH...

Need to get me one of those ropes

Love to watch all of these videos (even though my horses are in their 20's now). But I would love to see a training video on how to handle a seasoned horse that not always responds to "kicking" to move out any more. One of my trail horses was a child's lesson horse for a long time, so he doesn't always respond to kicking to get him in his gait, so I'm trying different things that aren't working. I also have another gaited horse that does what I call his "pony moves", and he stops and refuses to move forward if he wants to say, eat grass or take the trail that he knows goes back to the horse trailer. You could kick him all day long and he won't budge. I think a crop could help(?) but do I tap on the shoulder or butt or neither? (90% of the time he's awesome, but there's that 1%). Thanks...

Come to Australia 🙏❤️🙏

It looks as if Lambeau is a tad sore on the near fore? Just his little nod on the left rein...perhaps? but what do I know?

I would like to see Ryan in road to the horse 1925

Good he didn't try the Lambeau Leap! Good job Lambo!
