Amazing watching somebody who knows the “language” of horses, which is more of a body language. It’s fascinating.

I am so impressed with how you always jump into giving others credit, rather than claiming it for yourself. When things go smooth, like at the 10:00 minute mark, you assume someone else got there before you rather than seeing it as evidence of your own greatness. Ironically enough, that's what makes you great. I've seen you do this in many videos. Something goes well the first time and you immediately suggest that maybe someone else has taught the horse this already. I find your humbleness refreshing.

You are one of the kindest horsemen I’ve seen. Big inspiration. Truly enjoy these videos.

I love you working with these very special, very smart mustangs!! If I was younger I would adopt one! I had the privilege of riding a friend’s adopted mustang years ago (I had an OTTB at the time) and that little mustang made a huge impression on me.

Appreciate your non-confrontational manner. Thank you.

I don't know anything about horses but I can tell this guy is good !

I also break and train wild mustangs in Tenn. your approach is very similar to mine. I’ve learned so much more watching you. Thank you

Enjoyed this video. I never owned a horse but as a volunteer in a dog shelter, I see that developing trust and having patience with animals is always a winning solution. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

It’s almost like a dance of communication. It’s incredible to watch!

Ryan Rose u r one hell of a cowboy! I love your videos! U r by far the very best!

I love that you’re moving Lily but not chasing her around a round pen with a whip!

I just love your calmness and gentleness with horses. So nice to see you work with Mustangs!

Such respect for the horses is wonderful to see. Your understanding clearly makes things easier for both yourself and these magnificent horses. Thank you.

Ryan, it is the high spot of my day to be able to relax and enjoy your videos. What beautiful expertise and attitude !

Wow! Your understanding of horses is just amazing! Thank you for sharing all this with us.

I just lost my mare, named Lily, last week. Clicking on this video and watching Lily learn so much from you is a blessing! Thank you :)

I am at retirement age but worked cattle ranches (AZ and NM) during my school years (60s and 70s) Horses were turned out for the fall and rounded back up in the early spring.. We had one guy like you that could build rapport with the horses and they were a charm to work with for the summer after a few days... I just could never read the horses very well (probably my age at the time) but you are fun to watch... great videos..

There's a solution to the tightening of the lariat rope around the neck that I learned from watching Isidro Espinoza horsemanship. He uses a long yacht rope for roping the mustangs, over with a loop splice on one end so it can feed thru like a lariat. And, he ties one of those 2" metal rings to the rope 2-3' in from the spliced end. That way it creates a stopper so the rope can't tighten past where the ring is. It was a super helpful tip and it has worked so well here!

Your roping skills are impressive!!

😵‍💫I was so into this video that when the fast forward kicked in I almost fell over😂. Guess I’m not leader material quite yet😅. Love what you’re doing here!!

I love how you give and take. You're so gentle, but when they act up, you let then know that's not acceptable.

I love the way you work with horses. You just make sense. There are some things some trainers do that I say to myself .....mmmm I don't like that. It's like flooding a dog. They do it with their horses. The way you are working with these wild horses really is amazing. It's beautiful to watch

In the Farside cartoon- the horse is actually training the human.

10:22 am I'm at a loss I would love to talk to you on my rescue I have. He has me in tears..I have never encountered a horse like this.

It so interesting to watch the progress. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.

This guy is truly amazing,real pro.

Nicely done . You presence and time will indeed create a confident new pupil .

Excellent! The horses are so fortunate to have you, and your way with the horsehuman conversation (their people are, too).

I love your understanding of horses and hope to learn from you more and more

this is really lovely. i grew up old school " breaking horses" until i got to know them better but we used to go in strong and its nice to see its evolved. this is a much better approach.

This is so interesting. I love how patient you are and you explanations.

Such promise for these wild horses. Great Job!

Your work is in many ways similar to that of Steve Young in Wales who has his own KZfaq channel. He is a remarkable horseman who deals with problem horses and does so very effectively.

You are one of the few trainers showing "real world" solutions. I hope people appreciate it. My only criticism is I wish you would have warned people that the first touch will either be accepted or you'll be struck. Overall, good job.

When you are working with those horses please please keep safe always ❤❤❤

Your videos are excellent, thank you...If you don't mind, I would like to know as you are going through the different steps, what kind of time frame elapses. Your videos show pretty rapid progression due to editing but please give us some kind of time involved from step to step. Patience has to be a factor, so rushing the process can also have an adverse effect. Knowing this would help. I understand each horse will vary. Thank you again!

I’ve seen this exact thing twice , once with a horse and once with a mule , both were the product of no leadership.

This is so interesting to watch. You really have an deep understanding and respect of these beautiful creatures. Many Blessings for your good work.

For any watching trying to learn how to work with horses please pay attention to how subtle the cues are. Training horses requires one to develop the ability of intense focus, on the eyes (both yours and the horse), body position (yours), immediate release of pressure to give them "release". While it takes a lifetime for these reactions to become second nature.... if you read and watch until you understand what it is you're looking for you will be far ahead in developing your skills.

love this, love your horsemanship

Great verbal breakdown of your movements & hers. Thank you

Wow Lily is a gorgeous girl, that turnaround that she did with the lariat on her neck was nice!!

Absolutely love watching your videos

My new mare is very similar to this one. With a lot of work she has learned that I am the leader, but anybody who doesn't work with her regularly who tries to visit her has to really be careful. She will turn to hip check people on a dime, and has started mule kicking too. I'm not sure where to go from here because she is perfect when I work with her, and it's dangerous to try having other people work with her. Seriously considering becoming a patron to try to solve this problem.

Thank you this is very nice of you to explain how you get to pet a wild horse. Thank you this is from Tom Blasdell

So awesome to watch and learn from! Good luck with Lily...and petunia too

You're so awesome, @ryanrosehorsemanship! Love your calm demeanor/approach and how you articulate so clearly what you're doing and why. Great to learn from you and thank you for your videos 😊

Aww she's just the queen, demands respect but loves the attention of those who respect her.

I love this! I could watch and learn all day. Washington State is kind of a long commute for me to come and watch! I'm happy for the videos though ☺️

I have preached for years to not just dump food and leave because the horse thinks they are driving you away from the food and claiming it for themselves. A few horse can get very aggressive from this. I was barn manager at a breeding operation. Mares had to approach nicely and get permission by body language to eat. People said feeding 20 mares in a pasture together could not be done. Each of those mares went to a tub and ate no fuss about it.

That join up moment is amazing. The feeling is so rewarding.

Watching your videos and those of Steve Young for a couple of weeks now. I'm so impressed by how fearless you are because I've been afraid of horses, especially big ones, since I was tossed off one as a child. What has really struck me is that you've shown horses aren't aggressive toward you. You can turn your back on the most upset horse and it won't barge into you or go after you. I never knew that. It's made me much less afraid of them.

nice job and the mares are just beautiful! looking forward to their progress :D

I've had mustangs try to jump out of the top of the horse trailer. They are a handful and take a LOT of patience.

Great job with all the horses ❤️🙌🏼

I still say ALL horses are wild animals and the methods used on Mustangs would benefit any horse. We don't have Mustangs up in Canada, but of all the videos I have watched, I don't see any difference between them and any other horse. Good horsemanship is needed with all of them.

love watching you Ryan, You really have amazing knowledge. I like how you mention the mental state.

I owned a mustang for 20plus years...best mount ever. Once she trusted and I trusted her, there was no stopping us! Why tame a horse that could be 20 years old?

Love the way you explain things, and your manner with these wild horses 😊😊

Great work. A true horseman.

Brings back some great memories

I appreciate your clarity.

THX Ryan, for all of your helpful tips, I hope you can send me all your videos that you make as i try to train horses to and you tips are very help full thx Barry

I had a mustang that would do the same thing, I was a bit different. When mine would land his backend I would tap him in the ass with my boot. After about four contacts he started to look at me every time I got near him and in even an open pasture I could put a halter on him. He knew it was easier to give in than dealing with me otherwise. Love the videos they are very informative but there are many attitudes that you have to deal with and not everyone has a containment area to do this work. Thank you.

Thanks for this Ryan. I just love that first reach to you with the nose. That moment puts a smile on my face every time, with every horse, and watching you do it puts that same grin right there. It’s an addicting feeling ❤

Just came across your videos. This is so interesting!

I am not a horse person. I am a builder of ideas, strategies, and projects. I admire your ability to build a relationship with the horses. Further, I appreciate your willingness to teach others how to build relationships with horses. Thanks for the opportunity to watch.

This is so interesting. You definitely have the magic touch.

Petunia's tail being one big dreadlock lol :) Hopefully at some point they can chop that off

Very impressed with this lesson

Have being watching a lot of videos but this is one the best.

@8:30 "prove to horses worthy leaders"...excellent quote! I have trouble keeping those 3 things going at same time ha ha!

I think Lillie is already sift on you, Ryan..... She likes your gentle, kind approach !

Love watching this and seeing the dynamics of this group of older horses! So interesting! Do you feel the “tough one” was a little less resistant at all related to the order in which you worked with them? Are they watching and learning??

Mare probably fought wolves , bears, to keep her foals alive in the wild....her skills make her a leader....Takes you back to what the first horse, human interactions must have been like....If we take all the wild horses out of our parks it will be a loss.....

You're such a wonderful horseman, respectfully guiding these intelligent creatures, toward a better life. 🐴🌟🦢

I enjoy watching your methods. I decided to adapt some of them to try working with my dogs. A LOT of things have failed with them, which led me to try this. Session one was earlier tonight. I purchased and used the whip with the flag using big energy to keep them moving to exercise and tire them out. I also purchased a riding crop, which I plan to use to teach them with touch or light taps to respect space for well mannered walking on the lead. Hopefully this helps to resolve some things.

Thank you for your speedy reply, I appreciate it....

Great work, learned so much. 👏👏👏

My horse went through a spell where he kept wanting to turn his butt to me and was threatening to kick. I got him into a small area, about the size of a round pen, and broke him of it in a matter of minutes. I held an empty bucket by the rim and approached him. He spun around and turned his butt to me. I toss the bucket up in the air so when it came down it bounced off of his butt. He spun back around and faced me and the look on his face said it all. He felt the hit but I was standing clear across the pen so, in his brain, it couldn't have been me. I walked over and picked up the bucket and approached him again and once again he turned his butt to me. I tossed the bucket up in the air again so it bounced off of his butt. Again, he spun back around and stood there looking at me with a confused look. I picked the bucket up and approached him and he turned his butt to me but immediately turned back around and faced me. After that all that I had to do was scold him if he started to turn his butt to me and he stayed facing me.

Our mare would have climbed out full speed as soon as you walked in! 2 tip trainers really taught her to mistrust!

I gotta add to the list of a worthy lifestyles worth living: "Taming Mustangs" Of course it matters the way you do it. Mustangs are beautiful. Ginger, with awesome dreadlocks on their necks, I don't understand why someone would want to cut their neck dreadlocks. I am not sure about the tail though, the Petunia tail seems a little bit cumbersome. The neck-rope part seems a little bit...harsh, but I don't know what could be a better way of getting them ready for halter. I just hope horses are not hurt by that in the long run. It would make sense to come up with some gentler way of getting ready for halter... I don't know, maybe in the future...

Really enjoying your work Thank you kindly Great skills involved‼️ 🪖

Beautiful Mustang

I work consistently with a 5 year old Mustang mare, but I took training slower because I wanted to build trust over time. It took 2 months before she allowed me to touch her. Once I could touch her, I was able to get a halter on. I found she worked better with taking her training slower. I have had her 9 months now, and she takes to new things very well, and she trusts me. I have been unable to drive, so the stable owner has been working with her for the past 2 months. I still work with her when I can get a ride there. She will listen to the stable owner but still doesn't trust her completely like she does with me, which is evident in how she interacts with the stable owner. I get some people are unable, unwilling, or just don't have time to do that because the horse might be showing defense behavior like kicking or biting. But I would suggest taking a mustang's training slower if their personality calls for it.

Did you ever have that friend that's always slapping your shoulder etc. while talking with you? God love 'em.

love it,,its not your first time i guess lol.thats my dream...having horses

I wish we had seen the halter being put on Petunia, I'm sure it was a big reaction! Thanks for the videos Ryan LOVE to see them!

Are they all chestnut mares? 🥺 Did they tell you that ahead of time? 😂

Fantastic!

Thank you.

well done guys keep it up

Ryan can we get a video of some stud training ,it seems like ive watched every mare video you have lol

amazing

Your 🤩 amazing 🎉🎉and I understand❣️

The greatest race horse ever kicked everyone, so did his offspring true generations

Dangerous with the 2 horses in conflict. Had a family mare killed by a new horse on the ranch

7:30----your body position was passive, non threatening. But you were also reaching toward the horse with your arm and hand. That is a predatory move. You gave her conflicting signals, and she moved off.

Hello. That was great job Thanks. So, please will you example for US how to Deal with wrong behavior in horses such as disobedience. Regards.. Ali
