The horse can sense that you are comfortable doing the job, and so he does his.

if we could only get everybody to try it, 'just doin' m'job', what a world this would be! at least we can inch things along in that direction thanks for another good video

Your so fortunate to be able to go work the colts at a sale barn. He’s figured out real quick he’s got a job to do and seems happy to do it.

So many things to love about this video. First just seeing what life is like in a world I wouldn't otherwise ever see. Also, you are riding with clear intention but softly. And that horse seems to put every foot exactly where you need it to be.

I think your quiet confidence translates well to your colt's perception as to whether this new experience is something to be anxious about. Good point about not Trying to train , but just doing a job. I'm impressed at the way that colt works off your leg if he is as green as you say.

Another thumbs up video. First the foundation, then give them a job that enlarges their horizons.

What a fine youngster there. He’s on his way and someone will be fortunate to have him. Always look forward to your videos man. Also any update on the next book in the series? The Started Colt was outstanding!

Awesomeness aplenty Brett and Amy

Inspiring !

Awesome approach

That is a really good video! I have spent a lot of hours at the stockyards. I worked on the yarding back side, and it allowed me to go a little slower than the penning side. It was perfect for colts. I think the main thing is to try to set your young horses up for success. Don’t put them in a bad situation like trying to push a mean cow or bull. If the other hands were on colts, I would usually be on a seasoned horse and vice versa. As stupid as it sounds, I think those colts look up to those older nice horses, and it helps build their confidence. As Clint Eastwood said, “A man has got to know his limitations.” I think he needs to know his horse’s limitations too.

The riddle? You were just doing your job....and not nit picking at/on the colt?

That was beautiful maybe not the right word but that’s what I would call it

This is such a good video, thanks for posting!

When I was in my early 20s ride alot of colts at the barns. Would buy a unbroke colt ride it at home maybe 2 weeks then it went to work. You would have to ride in those places to truly understand the just do your job. You sure have a broke handy colt in 90 days doing that. More than about 90 days of it they would start to sour but I was working 3 barns 5 to 6 days a week usually riding 6 head

You doing your job with a partner, he's on the payroll

Make sure the horse has all its vaccinations current, because you could be riding into a "petrie dish" of equine diseases.

The holstein bulls always tried to knock my horses down. It really was a great place to help colts.

Nice colt. I have always been of the mind set that if you keep a cool head, the horse will generally keep a cool head. Why create drama?

Absolutely nothing builds more confident , happier, better broke, better minded horses than to give them a job they can handle. Shout it out louder for the folks in the back please! This also goes for horses that will have a career in the showpen, not just ranch horses in my opinion.

Horses need a job!
