I have been binge-watching Steve Young Horsemanship 😊💕

I am so glad that you explained when you said napping. I just assumed that you were saying it was falling asleep lol until you said that it was bolting.

Still binge watching after discovering you 3 years late 😂 dream job you do

This one made me understand what you are doing. I've been trying to see the nuanced movements that made this dance work. I think the horse was so apt to yield to the pressure and was looking to relax in the relationship with logical leadership. Moving her feet with a 😊 smile. It's. .brilliant! I'm seeing the meaning of the movement. Thank you.

That's a nice little mare, and obliging too and gets the idea quickly.💚💚

Not only is Steve a man of many horsemanship talents but he’s also a man of many hats 😄 Great video from Steve and Tanya - I’ve never been around horses but I’m addicted to watching him work his magic. Thanks guys.

Love your videos but if your video lady could hold her camera/phone landscape instead of portrait we’ll get a much bigger picture. 🤗

Love your comments, a wolf hat lol! I see a common denominator in all these videos, women who are way too cuddly with these horses. They are not teddy bears they are 1500 lb animals that need a kind but firm hand.

I for one, definitely have an appreciation when you show, what you call that initial “firm up“ it is a key factor. It’s you, setting the tone for the session you share with the horse. You’re saying that you are a competent leader and you are going to be fair and you have some ground rules. I have seen so many times, when people actually do this correctly, it minimizes the amount of resistance from the Horse/Animal. If you’re too wimpy/wishy-washy and you don’t give them clear direction it can be confusing and they may not understand what you’re asking for. I think it’s great that you show everything and we get to see the contrast/change in the Horse. Thanks for another great video!

Ok I admit it I thought from the title the horse was falling asleep! I was very curious about that--. Another wonderful training video. Thank you so much.

I loved every minute of teaching you did with this horse. She's so bright because she understands what you're asking. Fr!om the beginning. Lightbulbs. Thank you thank you!

You are lovely, watching your videos is a joy.

She is a smart horse.

You, Steve are a gift to us all!! Thank you

She caught on quick. Really getting a lot from your videos. Thank you

I appreciate the longer detailed videos. Thank you for making this one.

Your videos are perfect detail and explanation ❤

Ive been thoughly enjoying your horse programs, very up lifting I dont own a horse at this point but i was brought up with the domestic horses, and the horse is my favioute animal. Once again i thoughly enjoy your programs, with reall care for horses and owners. 🐴🐴🐴👍

Please never worry about the length of your videos! If I had the time I could sit and watch these all day! Since I don't lol I watch when I have time then pause and finish later on! My daughter takes lessons and only a few days after watching your video of the aggressive pony, her trainer mentioned to her about not allowing the horses to move her feet and claiming her space. So I shared your video with her and we agree that your style is fantastic!

It is amazing how you're able to communicate with the horse by looking at the feet. I love the fact that you know pain is a terrible thing and an unproductive way in handling these horses. You're videos are not too long at all. We need the time you put in to understand how to address a specific problem.

Steve is looking ‘very’ cool and trendy these days. 👌

I used to exercise hunters for a lady in Cornwall.Honestly didn't have time for ground work .Riding them out solo day after day ,they did napp ,rear and buck,but within a couple of weeks they stopped.I did it in the saddle rather than on the ground .I was taught stay on board as you have more control in the saddle than you do on the ground .It did work guess i was just good at staying on .Your way is probably more effective but i was paid to exercise them and keep them fit for hunting.

Really enjoy this video. Your teaching methods for both horse and human are superb.

Like the wolf look!

Wind noise: try pulling a knitted small sock over the phone to cover the microphone. And please hold phone to take landscape video!

Napping? I thought you meant it just falls asleep for no apparent reason. Glad you said bolting. I understand that.

I don’t ride a horse, I don’t know own a horse, I don’t know what to watch your videos, but I do. I think they’re interesting.

Oh, Steve, can you come work on ME?!!! 'Cuz I definitely have that napping problem, & I don't mean the one where you sleep & I'm not talking about a horse! LOL, love your channel, will look forward to seeing progress. Have fun building that 90-foot pen, better you than me! I think I'll just go take a little snooze now...

I thought the horse was falling asleep LOL. I really am laughing out loud now.

You both need snow pants or insulated… here in toronto Canada gets to -20 and I go out riding as long as all extremities are covered so hat, gloves and good warm boots… you can also get heated vests, gloves and inserts for your boots which are amazing… life changer

Oh dear, don’t know what it does for the horse, but I find it relaxing..

Thank you for teaching me this look at the feet and not the horse. I've never seen or heard of this but it makes sense. Direct eye contact usually means I challenge you as I am sizing you up. I am trying to learn everything I can as I plan on volunteering at a rescue ranch this summer. I want these horses to be able to find a forever home and that when I see them going, know that, that horse is going to be safe around its new owners. I've seen photos of some of the ones they get and it makes me sick or cry as I would love to have a horse of my own but can't afford one. And people that can, can do this?

You are a very good story teller too!

Most important seems to be consistency and keeping a cool head while we understand the cause and affect.

Excellent video

I've gone back to watch ALL your videos from the start! Amazing! Your detailed description, explanation & demonstration are clear & precise. If only I'd found you as a kid, what I could've done! Your instruction crosses all species boundaries, so is extremely helpful in getting along in life, not only with horses! I've not found another trainer so effective in his/her method. Thank you!

OH! The movement of the shoulder was lovely!!!! that is my next step with my gypsy cob and my arab mare both 4 yrs old THANK YOU STEVE!!!!!!!

No need to apologize for the wind, we are so darn lucky to have you here!

I have a napping problem too. Then I wake up.

Thank you for information. One time went to stable was 12 rented a horse font on rode out all of sudden horse took off like when they use to deliver the mail ran in front of cars up the top of hill back to stable right before stable quit calm like nothing happen. Another time group riding I changed horse with girl it went into trees like a lot of low branches bad for me, and horse. Last wrong ride friend riding I was on back. She rode got to area walked around square area bucked me off hit me in chest with horse shoes sent me flying back in a sticker patch. I never rode for a long time by friend with his friend beautiful horse solid black large horse. We rode long distance horse rested we returned home no problem I believe like you with your training in place. Thank you with family all your showing.

Have you worked with Pat Puckett out in California? Just happened upon your videos, which are great and heard you mention the cowboys being so good roping a foot and using the 'one rein stop' made me think you have. And if you haven't, you should take a look at him here on You Tube. He's absolutely in sync with your philosophies. One of those no nonsense, practical true horsemen.

Great video as usual!

Thanks Steve, this video was really helpful for my work with my rescue 'Jack' 👏👏👏👏

I love watching your videos. You take charge and the horse learns quite quickly under your training. When I once had my horse she did disrespect me and actually pushed right through my chest. I spoke with a friend of mine and told me what to do. After trying out a few things I learned I didn't need to be afraid of her. I had her doing anything I wanted of her. After that first time when she pushed me, she never again tried that kind of pushy behavior. We were good companions. Instead of thinking about disrespecting me, she was always happy to see me, knowing we were going to have a good day. Although dogs are not prey animals and are predators, they also can be dangerous. I tried many times to show owners how they can get control of their dog, and teach the dog that you as the owner are the one who controls the situation, and teach them appropriate behaviors. Owners who would allow a dog to bite them or threaten to bite them because the dog knew that was how he/she made sure you didn't try that action again. All he/she would do is to act like a vicious dog to you. There are times you have to be a bit beyond firm and I don't mean hitting, beating or hurting them. You have only 2 choices; train them so they don't practice unacceptable behaviors or euthanize your beloved pet or find someone who knows how to work with problem behavior. Horses probably respect us much more than a dog who exhibits dangerous behavior. I would be terrified to live with a dog like that. So much easier working with a horse than a dog that can be dangerous. Thanks so much for your videos & your talent and expertise! I am hoping a bit in the future I might be able to have my own horse!

With many source blessings with truth clarity love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures abundance wisdom and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 xoxo

I have a comment about the rope halter knot: If you loop it ABOVE the permanent loop of the halter and the horse pulls back when tied, the knot will become impossible to untie. That's why it is important to loop it BELOW where it enters the loop, as you do. Perhaps folks over there don't tie with rope halters, but here in the southwest of the USA, we do! I love watching your videos...at 76 I'm never to old to learn.

Lovely explanation...very clear and patient.

I always love it when you talk about Nita and the goats 🐐 l really have a good laugh. Can’t wait for your return home from American and have more videos to watch. I’m not a rider but love how you train and handle the horses 🐴. Hope more coming soon😊

Another fantastic learning experience 🙌🏻

Very informative 👏 going to use all this information with my two boys who are in their twentys but still think they are two especially one. Both have different issues and different strengths. Recently injured my chest wall not horse related but I have horses that lead from the shoulder as I was always taught early on and now find they are both dragging me around when they know their own strength so I want them to follow like you have just showed me and I will indeed start this from the get go in the stable as you importantly showed in this fabulous video if it takes me all summer I will try and change the way they lead which in fairness was the way they were trained but your follow not being on top of me at 60 years old and badly injured but as you horsey folk all know we still have to train our horses all the time to impress the fact that we are still their leader and indeed their friend and protector no matter their age or ours. I train dogs too and find your teachings a great inspiration in my teaching methods with them. Thank you Steve you do make these issues do able love your approach and step by step starting points leading to hopefully a great end result Carry On Steve!!!!! (Great name for a TV show what do you think I and many others would tune in fabulous teachings in such a nice Steve way make us all believe we can overcome our nightmare moments with our precious horses 🐎

A M A Z I N G! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I love your videos!! I have learned so much watching you. And I love buck Buchanon!!! Thank you,for your love of horses, and your love for them that you train us how to be with our horses!!

I shudder watching other videos when people get upset or yell at their horses. I’m so glad your my go to guy. I don’t even have any animals other than a dog and I don’t get mad at her either. Great work sir xoxo

Wow you explain things so well I've recently come across your videos and I'm now an avid fan of watching you work What you do is almost simplicity itself, well, it certainly is for the horses, humans not so much I've done a little bit with the horses and the effect on them is mind blowing After 35 years Plus that I've worked and been involved with them you have turned a light bulb on in my head and I don't need (or have) a round pen I've looked at the work of other trainers and not had the insight from them that you have given me Thank you Ps. Don't worry about the wind noise Part and parcel of working outside in all weathers

Stellar, just stellar! I so enjoy watching you work, Steve. I had a horse some 50 years ago. He'd had an owner who apparently didn't check the tightness of the girth and she lost her seat and the horse ran, panicked when the saddle went under his belly. I so wish I'd known what you teach. I used a bareback pad for awhile and then used a saddle. He had some issues: he shied at a particular rock outcropping which was scary because it was a narrow dirt road with a long way to fall down. He would also pull on his rope when he was being shod. I SO wish I'd known these things. What you are bringing to this work is incalculable.

Is this his first video? I hate that KZfaq changed the way you can search the videos. If so, I think this channel is going to blow up!! Great job Steve and thank you for showing the countryside where you live. I live in Howland Maine.

When you do another video of the same horse could you label them part 1,2,3 n etc. That way we don’t have to search through other videos to find the sequel to the one we are looking for. Thank You.

Great video ..is there a further video to this ??

Like your transparency and that you don't cut things out.

HeeHee I love the hat Steve just hope the horse didn't see you as a wolf though hey!pmsl 🤣 love watching you work and seeing all the beautiful different breeds of horses as I am learning so very much brilliant love and hugs to you and Tanya XOXO

Great video. I keep learning a lot from watching these.

Looking at her feet…..tells me the horse is watching you. The predator routine is very helpful. Disrespect on the ground leads to disrespect in saddle.

Wow never heard of this

very helpful!

Very good video, I would have to say, that I think this is a horse with a lot of potential, but isn't matched to the right owner. The owner has confused love and treats ( horse is a tad heavy) with respect. You earn respect with horses by confidence and leadership (experience). Never, ever, by abuse. This owner needs a horse with more experience and time, older more bomb proof horse. This bay mare needs an expert, right now. We don't want anyone to get physical hurt, human or horse, but the owner needs to just realize every single horseman/woman, has to travel the trail of knowledge. There are NO SHORTCUTS, this takes time, years even.

My cousin's horse had a napping problem, but it actually suffered from narcolepsy. 😆

I used to train horses (in California) and I learned to do it like you do. I was taught, that whatever the problem, you always go back to groundwork! It's nice to see that western riding is going on in England! ::) BTW, did you know that there is a thing now called Western Dressage? What I've seen of it is very cool. I'm temporarily bedridden and it's nice watching your videos.

nice

Great video - I have taken a lot away from this to use with my new boy, who is very good but can invade my personal space at times. This video coupled with one I have watched of yours on loading issues will, I hope , help us as we build our relationship.

I have noticed that the horses you work with change subtlety their behavior from the very start. They sense immediately that you are different.The horse knows immediately that something is "a foot" with this human, I.e. you.

👍🏻

👍😀

Another fantastic video with clear instruction! It's wonderful to be able to see the horses start to think differently. Question: I don't mean to be rude but - is this horse overweight?

Was there ever a further video on this horse please?

This is interesting on a whole people level too. "The horse is sweet ... until it isn't." The horse is willing to send the owner flying. But the horse is being called sweet. Is that an indication that the owner thinks it is her fault?

You’re amazing! What size rope are you using in this video and what size do you find is better to use?

I love these videos.. I have a napping horse, she will not leave the yard alone. I can see that this works brilliantly from the ground, but does this work on the horse when you are in the saddle and trying to move off the yard . Mine spins so fast and bolts off, no warning . xx

Dear sir I live in France brittany thank to share your knowledge Question where we can find télescopique flag Thanks

Oh Steve love your videos but can’t hear a thing half the time! 😢

Ohhhh...balking. haaaa. I had to hear you a couple times. Not bolting.

I have not seen a video on herd bound or barn Sour horses. My horse is scared if I separate him from the group. He screams and gets dangerous.

Do you have yet part two with this napping mare?

It is All. just there. why do they not gef your gift?

why is the horses neck shaved?

Where are you based in the UK? Dealing with a very similar problem and based in Surrey

Has this horse's throat and chest been shaved? If so, why?

Where are your other videos? Can’t find them.

Love your style. But when ya do a video put your camera up on something. Were always looking up your nose!!!

You may want to add the word ‘bolting’ to you title so US riders will be able to find your video. We use that word in America.

Did you ever have a horse lay down with a rider on.?

Good behavior is one thing, using you as a shield can be a problem. The girl in blue coat is a beginner. She is all over the pace with the driving…..this horse needs a more experienced owner.

I HAVE ONE HORSE A GYPSY COB THAT PREFERS THE LEFT EYE AND AN ARAB THAT PREFERS THE RIGHT WATCHING YOU HAS REALLY HELPED ME BE AWARE OF THIS ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WANT TO TURN THEIR BUT TO ME TO SHOW ME.

I AM TRYING TO SET UO A BRIDLE LIKE THIS BUT I NEED LENGTHOF TOTAL ROPE FOR HORSE AND PONY- 12-13 .2HH SHOULD THE EXTRA LEFTOVER LEAD REIN BE ON THE RIGHT OR LEFT? I SEE YOURS IS ON THE LEFT- HPW DO I TIE THE SLOBBER STRAPS ON?? I FB MSG YOU WITH THIS QUESTION AS WELL

Talks to much no action
