It was amazing what you accomplished with this horse in such a short time.. But the fact that it didn't transfer to his behavior walking back to the stable means that the horse needs hours and hours more work to become safe to be around. Most horse owners don't have the knowledge or the time to do that. If possible, let us know what becomes of this horse. Thanks for a very interesting video.

I am sad for this beautiful horse that it was not possible for you to take him. Praying that the right human for him finds him in time. Will you let us know what happens to him. x

The work you do is just stunning! I am an old gal who wishes your method was around when I was riding. I LOVE your content.

Nice job helping this horse Steve, you made quite a difference in him. I wish you could have taken him, he just needs a little time to work through whatever issues he's having and then I think he'll probably be a really good horse.

Steve your authenticity, including your family's (Charlotte & Tanya,) has a calming effect on your audience too! I must admit, I was sweating through this one, and you demonstrate how different we are as leaders & how that affects our relationship with our animals. The fact that Charlotte had to struggle to return this horse to barn, shows how even lifelong, experienced horse folk aren't always accepted as leader. There are horses (folk & animals,) who just aren't willing to trust & it takes a certain rare personality, sheer courage (or perhaps foolhardiness) to be a match for such a creature. It's just as important to know our own limitations as our strengths & I admire Charlotte's willingness to openly express her self-doubt! Kudos to you all!

He's just like my last horse whose behaviour, however, was a result of being sistematically tortured. It took a year to get him to not be so defensive but the partnership we had was unique. If I hadn't bought him he was going to the butchers as he literally attacked people especially in the stable. Seeing this feisty beauty made me very emotional. I just wanted him. Sadly I live in Italy, need to re-do ALL my fencing etc so logistically I know it's a dream but I'm so worried as to how/where he'll end up that I feel quite broken hearted.

Thank you Young Family for helping these troubled horses and owners. Most domestic animals need a calm and confident owner for direction. You DON'T have to be nasty to an animal, just confident for them to know they can trust and depend on you to keep them safe. Well done!!!🥰,Sharon.

Thank you for wearing a helmet, thank you for addressing the rope around the hand thing, thank you for coming right out and talking about how transferable your work is to someone else -- in this case not really. I know you've said numerous times that the owner has a history, whereas you don't, so the owner can't do what you do and expect the same results. But in this case, Charlotte doesn't have a history with the horse either, and yet she still had big problems. ALWAYS learn so much from your videos. Thank you! Btw, if it's possible to keep us updated on this horse, that would be wonderful. ❤

oh my goodness---he's a sassy, testing, Teenager of a horse! So cool watching you help him understand boundaries, reasonable requests, and good horse sense! lol!

I absolutely love your videos. I train rescued, neglected, and abused horses out of passion. Whenever I'm stumped on an issue I always watch your videos, thanks so much for sharing ❤️

Brilliant video ... yes he is a beautiful gelding and so unfortunate Charlotte was frightened of him. As you demonstrated, the gelding's unruly behaviour is clearly connected to the lack a leadership ... he hasn't had the proper leadership needed for a long time, if ever.

I had a Connemara when I was training for my BHS exams. Some idiot roared up beside me in a red sports car on the road, during a hack. The pony was splashed under the belly and jumped right over the car bonnet! How stupid can you be? The guy followed me back to the stables. He tried to get me to pay for a dent to his car. I Whilst he was ranting and shouting at me I wrote an invoice for my professional time in putting right the damage he had caused to my well trained pony. He backed down when he realised how much putting the pony right would cost him. She eventually took 6months to recover. I reported the driver. He had abused the pony and broken the law by driving dangerously. Respect to the work with this pretty pony, Steve. Such a challenge but patience and persistence does work so well. Brilliant result. Thank you so much. Love your videos

It's interesting that Charlotte was extremely anxious about handling that horse, as she has significant experience.

Great video. What a cracking horse. What a shame you couldn’t take him. I hope that someone like you is able to take him and bring him on

It's a choreography of communication. Fascinating! You're definitely the Len Goodman of this equestrian dance Steve.

I think you worked wonders with this horse in the time. I think he’s enjoyed showing off for tik toc for a while & maybe he thinks that’s how he should behave. It seemed to me when the clapping was going on - after the initial reactions he seemed to be enjoying it as though he knew they were clapping for him. What a character he is & so beautiful - I hope he can find his forever home soon. Thanks once again to everyone for taking the time to show this video ❤

I loved how when the horse was unnerved by the applause, and he brought his mouth/nose close to Steve's arm like he was seeking reassurance from him. It was a testament to the trust Steve had built with him. This horse is beautiful and has such potential. I hope someone who has learned from your videos will give him a chance.

Learned tons! The discipline to remain clear headed and calm while not lowering your standard. (Thinking here of the work with the mounting block, if the hindquarters swung even just a bit, you asked again.)

What a charasmatic horse and quite a delightful clown. You are so gifted in what you do. It all looks so effortless. What a joy. Keep up the good work Steve.

What a gorgeous horse! Steve you’ve done wonders in an hour or so. He looked so content, at the mounting block. I hope he has a happy future, with the right owner.
