I can only watch these videos when I have a few hours of free time . Beware, it’s hard to stop watching so get your chores done first 😂

Great film Steve! I've trained horses for 70+ years now and so a great deal of my work with young horses is 'automatic'. I forget how difficult it can be for a new owner or a new 'horse-man' to insist on correct foal behaviour around people. Horses are herd animals and are soon taught in a herd that every horse " is not their mother"! Foals can get away with murder with their 'mums' at first but must never be allowed to treat humans casually. The magic day will come for every foal when their mother starts to give them 'a dirty look' if they are disrespectful in any way. As human beings, we need to develop that same "look" that tells the foal to "back off" whenever they disrespect our space! I remember learning this lesson from a great old 'stable-man' when I was eight years old. He taught me how to look at any horse in a way that told them that it was time to "back off". Once I had learned this lesson, I could lead any horse in the barn safely - from quiet old ponies to flighty Polo Ponies! Thanks for passing on the information. Look at their feet!

Your comment about the chewing came right as I became aware of how loud I sounded chewing on my raspberry licorice. I had just thought I am glad I am alone and you said, before anyone says anything that's not me chewing.....it was really precise, just like I was part of the video......Nope, not me, it is the pigs.

🤣🤣 The piggies 🐷 are hilarious!!! And Tanya, you chew on carrots and apples as much as you want!!! LOL! Love you guys and your silliness so much!!!

I am from the Boston area in Massachusetts, US. I don't own a horse, don't know anything about riding. But. I love watching all of you with your horses. I love seeing Steve take delight in the new horse learning new things and trying. I am inspired by your patience and understanding. I can't hear very well, and I am struck by how little of what is done is about sound, except for the sound given by the human. I think I would find that very relaxing. and I have to say, from a fashion sense, that the owner gave this baby the cutest pink jammies to wear. I love that! The foal's cheeky prancing is a joy to watch. I just wish every foal could have the loving and understanding beginning to their lives.

Both the horse and the trainer are amazing (and the owner who loves her horse) - this is a hopeful and soothing video - thank you all

I love how you explained that a weakling is still trainable. You just have to be mindful of the length of time your sessions are. I do this with all the foals that are born every year. I train them about Respect of Space, Leading, and even having their feet handled for the farrier. As all the foals will see the farrier before they go back home with their mothers. Great video Steve, thanks for sharing another very informative and certainly needed video for people who will have weanlings next year. Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦🇬🇧

What a lovely colour this young filly is. There's burnished gold in the brown of her coat.

Loved this as usual Steve and Tanya. Loved seeing the happy pigs. 🐷🐷 thanks Tanya 😅😂

Steve, Thanks so much for posting these. I no longer have horses, but miss them very much! I love your kind, firm message to the horse. You doing really great work, so carry on!! If I every get a horse, I'm flying you out to Massachusetts with your lovely wife!! Carry on💕

So nice the owners have skills now. The foal seems like she has a mellow temperament, a nice horse.

Watching your videos has taught me what a benevolent leader is. I am a dog trainer - not a horse person though love horses and I do volunteer with RDA - I love watching the peace these beautiful horses find in knowing they have someone safe to follow and trust. My own yappy dog is just so much more relaxed and responsive since I found your channel. I am finally understanding what it means to be a pack leader (I always thought that was somewhat dominating - I see so clearly with horses how relieved they are when someone actually takes the lead and they feel safe to follow and they don’t have to worry anymore).It rubs off what you are doing in so many ways Steve and Tanya - it’s not just horses that are grateful to you

This big girl is now going in the right direction. Thank you for sharing.🐴

I so love watching you work with the young horses! Amazing how quickly they pick up on what you're wanting from them. This was a great way to start my day. Ty!

Steve YOU are amazing and a miracle worker!! Tanya great video skills! Love you both Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos with us!!!!

What fun to watch you two with a young clearly difficult foal😮 🤣😂😂 the pigs were hilarious addition)

Lovely to see you with this youngster, Steve. The way you get it to relax because you take the leadership is wonderful… I think indeed that is why it didn’t spook at the barrel as it had before. (I am just ten minutes in and I will watch the rest of it later, because I have to go off now. I just wanted to say thank you, with this first comment on your video (a rare happening with your popular well loved and appreciated videos). lol) 7 hours later… what a fun and lovely and helpful session! It seems as if it doesn’t take much if you can speak Horse to change a situation to one of mutual respect and harmony! It’s like learning a new language and a very different culture, where slight gestures and inflections mean something to that culture that one might not at first be aware of. Thank you to everyone who was part of bringing this session to us all!!

Wow. Every video of yours I watch, you truly amaze me. Don't matter what it's handed to wether it's a dangerous, orphan, scared, abuse or young foal, they turn like patty in your hands. Your deep knowledge of horse "psychology" twinned with your empathy, is outstanding. Over 40 yrs ago we use to muck out stables in exchange for a ride as teenage girls do. We use to ride Norwegian Fyord Ponies which are little buggers and I so wish I had the knowledge and understanding of horses back than. International Horse Trainer? No. God's gift to horses.

I bought a nursing foal from a man for five dollars She had shipping fever and it took a few weeks to get her well. I nursed her on calf manna with a coke bottle.She was part Morgan and part larger horse.She grew up to be a beautiful old fashioned type Morgan, big dark eyes, heavy mane, wonderful hoofs, very brave and very smart. My old standardbred gelding took her over immediately and really raised her. Do not remember any problems with her pushing or rearing next to me but she was loose in a large field and had a lot of exercise. She would do anything, walk into a trailer, walk up stairs. she took instantly to being driven as if she was born to do it. If she disliked anything she would face it down. She was innovative, she climbed on top of a frozen water tank and used it to jump over the fence into a corn patch. She escaped the field by lying down, getting her neck under the lowest pole and raising it to wriggle under the gate. She tricked the horses by letting them out and then running into the shed and eating their grain. Etc etc.

Thank you Steave and Tania, i enjoyed this video , very important what you were able to demo on for health and saftey reason lovely foal and mare,keep them comming mate thank you for sharing guys xx

Lovely to see her coming along. Such a beautiful sky you had this day.

Love your videos😊 it would be great if you had a small microphone when you work with horses. You sound loud and clear while you additionally explain what you did, but while you with the horses, the wind is inturrupting and you are much more quiet. I had to turn the volume up and down frequently.

Good evening from NZ. The ' horseless kiwi ' once again admiring your skills. What legends you Youngs are. A super family unit. We look forward to your next video. What a darling foal he was. Cheers to you all.🍸🍸❤❤🙏🙏👍😀😀

Sweet youngster. Tanya we knew it wasn't you but the pigs enjoying their pumpkin snack! 😁💞🐖🐖🎃 Seem to distract Steve. Lol Best of luck.

I've watched several "horse trainers" and by far I prefer the way you do it. 😳 When I watched the others I'm telling them all thru the video that's not how you do it, you need to go watch Steve and learn the right way before you try teaching others. Needless to say, I don't watch them anymore. I Truly Believe You Are The Best!! I lost 😢 both my horses a couple years ago so when I watch your videos it makes me think maybe it's time for another. Much Love 💜 and Many Blessings 🙏 to you and yours

(HUG) Love your videos, I wanted to hug that beautiful foul too! Would love to see Steve train people how to handle large 4-month-old dogs. GREAT VIDEO

Lovely video

Another great educational video. Yes going to be a big girl, very smart filly.

Well that was great what a fab FOAL and such a quick learner fantastic work Steve and tanya🥰💝💖💗

So great you were called out to help so early on! Massive growth can happen for this youngster if handled properly. Hopefully they'll seek out more information about what they can do before any riding is ever done. Could be Fantastic!

Not only is she a BIG girl for her age - but she's super smart! Quite a long session for her 1st round pen training! Good girl. Her Mem is such a chill mare - keeping an eye on her 'bebe' - but not nervous. She's really gorgeous, too. Just an FYI & re: the charging onto human.... If that was an unusual event ( the foal spooking & charging into you) consider the possibility of a yellow jacket or wasp sting. Yellow jackets burrow in grass & dirt. I've seen a few instances in the UK of really bad bee/wasp stings on horses. The venom was so strong that one horse got a big bump & lost hair all around the sting site! Just something to consider with abnormal behavior. Some 🐝 have been very aggressive this year in the US too - chased me off my own patio a few times late into Fall.

Great video glad there nipping this in the bud, I’m sure she’ll be a great riding horse 😊

I sure like how that foul moves. When she gets her full growth, she's going to move beautifully. Thank you. I always enjoy watching Steve work with any horse. There's something new every time. Tanya and son, thank you for making the great videos.

Love your work Steve! You’re a living legend 🎉❤

I wish you could have done some voice over at 35:44, it helps a lot to see and hear what's going on even if it's repeated a million times.

Love your vids… I worked the same way in another life! Have to say tho, the property is an accident waiting to happen! So many hazards on the ground! Love surface in the round yard… good job. Like I said in my book, ‘there are no problem horses, just problem handlers/riders’. Good to see the issue has been nipped in the bud so early in the youngster’s life

Pigs eh??? Likely story Tanya! No just kidding ... I thought that was so funny that you would think we would think you were the one making all the snorting in and chewing noises in the background! Anyhow, again another brilliant video. It seems a lot of problems stem from the ground work not being done at the get go ... when the horse is young and more manageable. I guess it all boils down to plain communication and the horse understanding, regardless of the age. I'm assuming that because whenever Steve deals with a horse with issues or 'not listening', he goes right back to the basics of halter breaking/training ... meaning leading, driving, disengaging, backing up, lowering head and even bending/flexing. Just the simple teaching of those little few things seems to send a message to the horse that 'i need my space', 'I want you to go this way or that way' and 'look at me, I'm all you need'. Sets the stage for a fruitful relationship. What a beautiful filly and her Mom is quite pretty and a good mover as well. Thx ... so looking forward to the next video!

She’s a smart little cookie 💕

AMAZING.you never disappoint.charlote and nanna trying to kiss nitta funny.thanks tan and Steve ❤️

Nita is just like my Teddy, won’t kiss on the nose ever!

Thanks for another video guys!

The foal is huge! What breed is she?

Love you guys. Im lowering my head!🫶🏼

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!

The pigs sound as though they are laughing at you,,xx

Maybe she's more secure now Mum's back?

👍👍 That is a clever filly. Of course, she is in very expert hands 😁❤️

Very well done! 👍

Horse language. When you know how it looks so easy.

love watching these videos. Watching from Ontario Canada

What a clever foal; such a quick learner! (Or are they all like that, if they get this sort of expert treatment? :))

I enjoy watching your training videos. You really understand horses. It would be great if Steve had a microphone. The accent is hard to follow but not being able to hear makes it super rough.

"Ok, get in the car, Tanya..." ;-D

Thanks! Love you guys.

wow, look at this chemtrail cloud. thanks for your videos, I love watching them although I dont have a horse :)

Fabulous clouds!

Fantastic work within minutes..

Great video!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

She is such a smart girl❤

Charlotte sweet heart horses are not babies, please becareful one of these days you might get bit in the face! Horses are intelligent animals and even a well trained animal can become irritated with nonsensical behavior. I doubt any of Steve's horses would bite,, but show them the respect they deserve.

This was a great video!!! 👍

The audio is not good on this video. I can barely hear or not hear at all what Steve's saying.

Another great video ❤️

the pigs 🐖 ♥️ 😍 in the background....😂😅

I hope someone gets you a fuzzy clip on microphone for Christmas!over the videos but barely watch because too hard to hear

The problem at the beginning where the foal gives its owner trouble leading or spooking is because it didn’t want to leave its mother or other horse. With everyone there the foal was distracted by the people n didn’t think about it’s mom or other horse.

Love your work. Honestly tho I wish you would do voice over on all of your videos. The sound is always too low to hear and frustrating. Love you and your work tho.

As usual, thanks all.

Amazing 👍

Awesome 👍

Are you sure she's not in pain? I would have a chiropractor give her a good look. Sometimes injuries can leave residual issues. Love your training. God bless you.

Sometimes I love to watch you show the owners how to walk ahead and lead rather than walking beside as if they are equals...You are JUST as gentle with the people as you are with the horses! ....a little bit of leading with some quality...

I would also be unquestionably having a full Opthalmic exam done on that foal .That foal is not just reacting to the expected . Watch carefully.

Respect and trust❤

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to y’all also.

Since Rose went.. mother horse? connection?

How did you catch her

Perhaps a microphone on Steve would be a better idea so we hear him and not others talking over his comments, and also reduce wind sound.

💛💛

Do you have a wind protector. The wind makes it very hard to hear you.

hi so during the winter the horses have to be into there stables by 4 in the afternoon, and my dad has a job and he's not sure if he can get down everyday before 4 to get her in so sadly she cant go out out any other day but Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday so on the days she does not go out i like to hand graze her, and now every time i go to lead her past grass she will pull me straight over to the grass and its very annoying as she never pulls me and she does have great manners but its been a very big problem this past week and today i wanted to try see if i can walk her past grass without being dragged over to it.. so i was walking her over to the grass and she instantly dragged me to it and i had her on a lunge line and quickly made her go into a trot and make her listen to me and it worked and id be walking around and she wont try to eat it but then she suddenly starts to doi it again.. I can admit it could be me and I'm not reacting fast enough or making it clear on what im asking and its probably my fault but i just want to know if anyone has any tips. If I could i would have her out 24/7 but thats how my yard works during the winter but during the summer she can have 24/7 access to staying out in the field thankfully. I just regret hand grazing now 😂 but sadly i cant drive as im 15 so i have to rely on my dad.

❤

Could have been because the mother horse was at the scary spot.

With everything going on right now, the best decision to be on any creative man's heart is having a profitable investment strategy.

The horses are surrounded by electric fence shock wires....an accidental touch shocks them....makes them mental and spooky

In the video about the abused horse and others, I constantly see u pulling on the lead rope so the horse does as u say, and then it gets into trouble for getting in your space. These poor horses are so confused, and I don't blame them. On one hand, u pull on the rope to make them go forward, and then u give them shit for doing what u wanted. Smh
