Horse is becoming to dangerous to handle!! This was a very important visit to hopefully save this rescued pony. He has over the years became increasingly dangerous to halter and picks his feet up has become lethal! Now its dangerous to even sedate him! Its this ponies last chance and Steve risks injury to help again.

I must commend you for not doing what so many do and adding 'music' to your videos.
Ooh yes! That wouldn't be good.
I agree!
Even worse when the music is excessively loud, which is very common.
Yes!
Music with Steve’s videos would be pointless. He’s giving us a training session. I can’t imagine music being combined with the content of his activity. It wouldn’t make sense ( to me)
Finally Tango meets a human who not only speaks his language but also behaves in a way he understands. Bless him.
A little time and patience go a very long way!! ❤
Owner needs to soften her voice around him. The shrill of her voice unsettles the pony. TBH…
@@susangalvan8070, both with horses, or any type of animal and of course humans also. I couldn’t agree with you more Susan♥️
@@susangalvan8070he like a baritone for sure

My husband (of 48yrs) is a veterinarian, we both watched this video together, you are so marvelous, it gives the hopeless horses a chance to be lovely! Always a pleasure!
There's that wonderful moment when the horse realizes that you're speaking the same language, and that you can understand each other, and such a look of relief comes over them. Like Robby just did, they stand there, ears forward, eyes on you, saying very clearly, "I want to talk some more. Can we please talk more? I feel comfortable and safe when we do this." That is just the best to see.
Steve, get big jar Epsom salts in hot bath have hour long soak, get dry then apply arnica gel to the bruises to bring them out…. You are truly brave and gentle. That terrified little chocolate pony accepted you as his tried, tested and proven herd leader. You gave him a language so he could communicate with you to release the fear, pressure and then trust. Pure joy and honour to watch you at work. God bless you and keep you safe. And a global thankyou from all the horses in the world who will benefit from your teaching.
Yes. I would use T-relief though (formerly called Traumed). It is primarily arnica but has additional ingredients. Used right away it can prevent bruising, swelling, and pain. Personally, I prefer the lotion over gel but they make both. I would also take the T-relief tablets at the same time for best results. A French horseman told me about this when I got pawed by a horse. I had never heard of it, but it is apparently common in Europe. In the U.S., you can find it online and at health stores.
@@Growmap@dove-1234 I was thinking the same things as I cringed seeing Steve get boxed. You know how much that is gonna hurt 1 to 2 days after the fact - but not if you take these products and have it in the car at the ready! I use the homeopathic called Reckeweg R 55 - liquid drops and it also comes in a cream. Indispensable should be available in Europe and all of North America.
Good to know. The ingredients are similar to T-relief and they both originate from Europe. I hadn't heard of that one. Sadly, most Americans don't know of either one. @@susan4abundance
Perfectly said. It is an honor to watch Steve. Bless him and keep him safe.
Absolutely ❤😊
you know you are special when you're given perfectly WHITE tea towels to clean up on the job. ❤
He was really handy with those front legs! On the edge of my seat watching you keeping faith with your patience and calm. It wasn't his fault. What he had suffered in his head was all down to humans after all. How fantastic are Jan and John for rescuing these ponies? Well done to All of you.
If every time a stranger comes to the horse, it ends up with the horse getting poked and having unpleasant medical procedures, then of course the horse learns to hate and fear every stranger more and more over time. And this horse is able to learn fast when he wants to. IMO it would help a lot if the horse was exposed to more occasions of strangers handling them in a positive way, put the head collar on and just groom and/or lead them to a bowl of feed for snacks (not hand feeding obviously). Let the horse have lots of positive experiences with others, not just negative ones. And why did he stay in the same place for an hour? I suspect he felt better than he had in a very long time after letting go of some of his anxiety and so he was not motivated to move. If you feel good, sometimes there is a natural urge to stay still and soak it up and not risk changing whatever it is that is happening.

What a loving heart those rescuers have to do what they do. How lucky and blessed our world is that folks like them are in it.
@@alisonjetmar7437- I hope those rescuers learned from this experience, so they can work better with all the other equines in their life.
Yes, I imagine Tango stayed put so as to not break the spell of the magic moments Steve creates 😉@@OnceUponaTimeline
Every time my husband and I watch your videos, we say how we wish we knew all this 50 years ago.
Another tear jerker, it is horrific to think what some horses have been through, caused by humans. Tango deserves a peaceful, calm life now with his lovely rescuers. I can't wait to see part 2 with his newly manicured hooves ♥
No tango deserves a home with someone who has more horse sense and can work with him to get him through his issues. Don't you notice the small stall and crowded area all these animals are in. How about the filthy condition of all their coats. The woman may be kind hearted but she has more animals than she can properly take care of. There is no proper arena for daily exercise. All horses deserve more than she can give.
@@DianaStuckert I was trying to be kind to the people who took him in when the alternative was being euthanised. I think the ponies live out in the field.
WAHOO...looking forward to part 2...another cryer for me. When you came back from your cuppa and he was still standing where you left him and started to walk towards you...that was something else👍 Thank you for taking us on your journey to help all these horses AND owners.🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
All your vids are incredible! But this one was so special!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I totally agree with you Sharon. When they all came back from their break, he just looked so sad and lonely, didn’t he? The poor little darlin. The things he must of been through throughout his life, just doesn’t bare thinking about. THANK GOODNESS for Steve, Tanya and that gorgeous couple for rescuing all of those types of horses/ponies/donkey’s and giving them another chance at life AND showing them that how they’ve been living is certainly NOT NORMAL and they will have a massive and wonderful change in their lives from now on in. They’re now perfectly safe and will never need to worry about anything ever again. I just think that that couldn’t be more perfect.♥️
WOW!! MONSTER improvement!! He went from almost feral to picking up his feet! I really liked the bits where you slowed things down and explained what was happening. Can’t wait for part 2!
Lloyd
Definitely !
My heart goes out to Tanya... I've heard a release of breath of relief when her husband doesn't get destroyed 💕 Steve has got so much patience! And so much wisdom with these horses... another victory🎉
Hello Steve… I am now in my late 70’s and no longer work with horses, but in another life, worked with “problem horses” using the exact same method as yourself. I rarely found the horse to not respond to consistent work, but found dealing with the owners and getting them to listen and to “see” the issue, was often than not, more time consuming. I would say that 85% of horse owners have no “feel” and this is one of the most difficult things to teach, as it comes with being able to read body language and to react and correct immediately and not a second later. The owner of these rescue horses has a beautiful heart, but really needs to just quieten her mind and allow the horse to speak… it is so frustrating as a trainer, to work with a horse for a few weeks and see the horse go from confused (problem!), to a horse who has guidance and is confident. Then the owner returns to see the progress and immediately their hand is on the lead rope, the horse tenses up! All that’s happening, is the horse is picking up tension and you know that when he gets his beloved horse back home, will possibly go back to how he was…
Goodness, are you me? I could've written all that myself - approaching 80 now, another life etc - except that I took on smaller ponies, being under 5ft tall. I used to tell parents that taking yoga classes would help them with their child's pony - quieting the mind, as you say.
Gosh, me too. I began working with ponies and miniatures the last decade or so before I retired. I loved doing the groundwork, especially with the youngsters. I noticed that many pony/mini owners made the mistake of thinking that, because the horse was much smaller, you had to baby it. I once watched a 30" tall stud horse knock a woman down and stomp the stuffing out of her--just because they're little does not mean they won't act like a horse, or are unable to hurt you. Someone in the barn told me she had a reputation of treating her horses like human infants. But much like some parents who will coo at their baby, then lose their temper in the next moment and scream at them, evidently her horse had learned some nasty habits. A quiet mind is very necessary, as you say!
Yes that owner not concentrating enough on what needs to be done.She needs to be thinking how she is going to implement these procedures.And I suppose she is better than many owners.i see it with my dog owners too,I understand if the pony got a infection it has made a decline in its behaviour.mayb3 this whisperer could catch the owners whilst the pony had the infection as opposed to years down the line.This man has patience that he doesnt know he has,because he's so engulfed in his work time flies by.hats off to this good man
Yeah? me too!
@@Sine-gl9ly Totally. Kindness and good intentions are one thing, gentleness and quietness around frightened animals another, but firmness and intention is another. Getting these poor creatures is the beginning, not the end, and if they're in the constant state of fear and trauma they were in before what's the point?
It's fabulous watching. I was horseback riding for 20+ years in my youth, at a riding school. We never had any horsemanship lessons. It was all riding. A nuisance when we had to go get the horses in the field, because we had never been taught how and what to do if they misbehaved. Feels as if I know riding, but not horses. I learn a ton by watching these videos.
My heart is in my mouth watching you work with some of these ponies, they can be so much quicker than the big boys. Take care. ❤❤
Huge respect to you Steve. That was dangerous! A quiet but no nonsense equine conversation that may well have just saved this pony’s life and the owner a shed load of heartache! My heart was in my mouth I know Tania’s must have been.
I love this brave boy - what a lucky boy to have found himself with Jan and John and also that they were able to reach out to you Steve and Tonya for help with him! Such a special gift that Steve has! The rest of Tango’s herd keeping their eyes on him and listening to what was going on was priceless!❤
He's trying to explain about her hand feeding, which makes so much sense, and she can't stop yapping and listen. It must be harder to deal with the people than with the horses.
Hand feeding is such a no no. The woman's yakking is endless..She just doesn't listen and concentrate.
Lols she's just a typical horsey person ... 😂😂
Its hard to let go of the only prop you had that seemed to work and accept it was counterproductive. You need real knowledge of herd structure and behaviour.
You can't blame this pony...he has had a nightmare life filled with pain and heartbreak
I always thought you were very good but this was really special. The trust that he showed you and the desire to have a leader were clear to see. Very interesting about the hand feeding being almost abusive for very nervous horses. Really excellent video. Thank you!
😂😂 the white horse in the background never missed a word😂 what a fantastic video, really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.
Do you know what makes his color so different/odd-looking?
I’d love to know what the color pattern on one of the two in the barn is called. I know one is a paint or pinto, the other one is stunning.
The horse audience gave Tango so much support, was as though his friends were willing him to get better. Great video and looking forward to pt 2.
I am speechless at this kind of control and understanding, very skilled, very talented. Not many understand how to scold a horse correctly by "being" a horse yourself. You can't apply human interaction with animals, you have to become them so they know what is happening. Like learning a language, it is difficult. I commend you for this. Only people with great empathy understand that patience and giving space is how you build trust that goes both ways.
You teach animals, you teach people. Love, Language, Leadership. Wonderful video Steve and Tanya. Looking forward to Part two (2).
The man was in the stall with the alpha horse. It was shoving him several times to the point where he almost fell. In part 2 I hope he can learn from Steve, how to get some respect on the ground.
I noticed this too…. That horse needs a lesson or two about personal space
Agreed. Tango can also see/notice that as well. Horses see EVERYTHING!
this pony like a baritone
You worked so hard with this little guy. You are amazing with the horses but watching you work the really tough ones is incredible.
Steve, you are a Super Hero. This poor pony. Terrified. A lovely round, strong wee lad. He started straight away, when he realised you were putting him under pressure and then releasing, paying attention and relaxing a tad. Amazing work lowering his head. He was looking for you when you came back after tea break. Here’s an interesting human who tells me what to do and therefore gives me confidence. Tanya, thanks for catching the action so well. This is one of the best videos yet. Thank you and thanks for rescuing them. All good sorts. The white pony at the gate watched for a long time. Took me a while to stop patting but it makes a difference like not hand feeding. I worked at a zoo for many years and used to tell visitors you can’t feed the animals but I’m available to be fed. It worked too. Got a few chocolates and ice creams in my time.
For me it is getting really clear: your huge amount of experience causes you to handle this horse with such patience and self-consciousness. I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks so much for showing EVERYTHING! My Iclandic mare was kicking in the same way than this horse and then she was running away. When leading her, the feet were sticking .The two-eyes method changed everything.
Bless this lady for what she does to rescue & stick with horses. in need. That said, I wanted to tell her to be quiet & listen to what Steve was telling her & trying to explain. So many rescuers believe that kindness & gentleness is all that's required, but many terrified animals NEED that firm, confident leader, not a mommy. The fact that Tango stood there, waiting & hoping Steve would come back was testimony to how much he needed someone who could understand & handle him, & it broke my heart when he took those steps toward Steve when he returned. I LOVE the "peanut gallery" of 3 horses watching at the fence, with their snacks--what a laugh! I kept imagining their conversation: "Who IS that guy?" "I don't know but Mr. Badass is getting a schooling here, next thing you know he'll be picking up his feet nice as y ou please." "Well, about time!" Can't wait for part 2. Well done, Steve & rescuers!
So true. I notice in most of Steve's videos the owners just won't STFU, while desperately needing correction themselves...
Lovely lady yes..but please stop talking.. ❤
@@PegasusWings23 so true. This is why the problem is almost always the people and not the animal.
Better to be quiet and let people think you are a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt! I don’t know how Steve keeps his focus. I wish he would tell people to hold their questions till he is through working the horse.
Agree, clients learn when they are LISTENING, not when they are talking. 😊
Finally someone who explains what is wanted in a way that takes away his fear by breaking it down into baby steps in an assured manner instead of pandaring to his fear
Look what you've done. You've taken a scared horse to a secure horse when with humans. And I can imagine the farrier will send you a valentine's card.
I'm so grateful for the microphone. being able to hear you like this is a game changer
I had to use my ear plugs for this ,it made the sound clearer.owner not getting the pointvtjough she kept praising a man who already knew his trade,she should of been saying how she could incorporate this into her approach with the pony.Thecpony showed himself that he needs to trust human,he did this with the trainer but not with the man owner.thus showing it doesnt matter what good the trainer does with the hose it's the owners he's really teaching
Remarkable change, isn't it. I really couldn't understand Steve very well mostly because of the mic, and partly because of his accent.
EVERY TIME TONYA TALKED ABOUT THAT DONKEY, THAT LITTLE DONKEY'S EARS WENT FORWARD. SO CUTE
Pretty pony. I've noticed how he can stand square nicely. Loved how the other equines were there to watch and almost encourage him to chill out.
Yes he is a good pony,beautiful stand
Oh my goodness. Did you come away with loads of bruises?? That little pony was so scared but what a transformation. I couldn’t believe what you were able to achieve with him. Fantastic
So much of your training Steve is with the owners. I could hear you firming up with her a couple of times! “Well, OK- thirty five percent of the horses that we go to have been hand fed. It’s a common denominator”. 😂
If these people cannot ‘handle their horse’, why can’t they just listen to you. Is there any way that you can diplomatically tell the owners to LISTEN. Hand feeding is a basic no no, and she interrupts you.
i think it is because they used food to get him to do things and just couldn't see how to do anything without treats. but as they watched that pony change so did their own view of how to move forward. its sheer desperation talking not stupidity. they will be much happier and more able to deal with the pony now....and they have the video to watch, that will help with other horses too
She'll watch the video when she gets time to reflect.
I noticed that as well. I'd be taping......and listening to Steve.....
Brilliant! Amazing what you accomplished in one session.
I don’t use hand treats when training my dogs either. I’m the Alpha they need to feel secure and confident. They eat from their bowels after our exercise and training sessions
I really like that you touch on how hand feeding can be problematic. My pony used to be very mouthy and food aggressive, however he responds extremely well to positive reinforcement, he will do ANYTHING for food so I didn't want to completely give up on hand feeding all together. What I did was teach him to turn his head away from me when I offer a treat. The cue I use is I put my fist up to my chest and he is expected to turn his head away from me and look forward. He will only receive a treat if he is looking forward and is out of my space. This won't work for all horses of course, but it has worked great for us and I would recommend attempting to teach a horse this if you are dead set on using positive reinforcement with them. Another thing that I have done is lunge him around his feed pan and he is only allowed to approach the feed pan when I draw him in. When he would pin his ears and toss his head in my direction when I approached him while he was eating, he immediately went back to work, back to lunging. Rinse and repeat and now I have a much sweeter pony and both of us are happy and can enjoy each others company with no fear, no frustration, and no stress. Lovely work by the way, I always look forward to your videos!
Watching you help these troubled souls brings me so much joy. Heaven was made for folks like you!❤
Heart in mouth stuff watching this one Steve
Yes, Tango was so cute - he did make me laugh as he didn’t move as you went off for your coffee and also at how he didn’t want to give you his hoof and tried to move it away under the other leg lol. I also loved Steve, that the whole time you were working with him, all the other horses were standing around close watching it all, so calmly - giving him moral support lol - just beautiful! We can learn so much from animals! 💕
I enjoyed every minute of that, it’s absolutely amazing how much you manage to achieve in such a small amount of time.
I LOVE your new microphone!!! 🙌🙌
Steve cannot wait for part two. I've watched so many of your videos, i recognise the signs when a horse gives to you. NOT that I would ever attempt. Really love your patient calm way with these very troubled horses. Full credit to Jan and John for their dedication to these magnificent creatures.
I am completely speechless. It is communication at an extremely high level. Groundbreaking. And that beautiful pony cut out for me exactly what your safety gear can do even though I have watched all your videos. Thank you, Steven. Thank you 😘❤️🇩🇰
Steve, with this pony, you show us the magic of knowledge and experience, coupled with patience and understanding. A joy to behold.
I think you're very patient with people.. not sure why anyone asks for help and then doesn't listen to the solution. Recently bought a pony I helped train years ago.. after 2 months she's settling down but previous owner hand fed, and she was aggressive, unhappy and nervous out and about. Pointless spoiling
Listening with the willingness to learn is so important.
This video is absolutely amazing! I've watched a number of your videos before & enjoyed them all- but in this one you were able to clearly demonstrate so many of those fundamental principles with this pony- pressure & release, showing that you're the alpha be making him move his feet, having him respect your space, etc. It was also helpful to see what happened when your timing was a little off, & when he made the wrong choices by striking out with his feet. Your patience & persistence with this pony, your matter- of fact way of handling him, your clear expectations, your explanations of what you were doing, & the meaning of the pony's reactions- it all is such a gold mine of information! I'll probably watch this video over & over, to learn as much as I can. Thanks so much for your wonderful videos- you do such a marvelous job, & it helps all of us viewers to improve our approaches with horses in our settings!
I can’t believe the patience of this man! I don’t know how he puts up with the nattering of this woman ! If it were me, I would have sent her off long ago. Why bring in a trainer if you won’t let him work?
Darn some ignorant humans putting fear into these beautiful 🐴🐎. Thank goodness Steve worked is unique magic❤
he's a beautiful pony.
I love how the other horses, behind the gate, are watching intently….🥰
This is by far the best video I've seen of yours, and I've seen quite a few! So sad to see any animals behaving like this because of what humans did/didn't do! Beautifully executed! Love it! 🫶
This was of the few videos you have posted where there was the need for repeated attempts on your part with the horse… Obviously because the pony had become so wary. It was very rewarding to see your patience and your ease with starting all over again… This was the section on the head collar you were working on. I think, watching you with your vast experience struggle with a difficult case, is very rewarding on so many levels. And I think we all appreciate how, despite the skill and many years there can always be the most challenging cases. To see that that pony had not moved while you all took a break, and then returned !!! That was amazing and again showed what a change was working through the animal. Well done !!! and one of your most rewarding videos for me to watch because of your extraordinary patience and skill. Love to Tanya!! ❤❤❤
Steve, you are just so patient with these problem horses, and this couple and all animal rescue places are so magnanimous in their treatment of these damaged creatures, it always restores my faith in human beings. God bless you all.
Remarkable. What a video of progress. Tango's relief at discovering real communication with a human was very moving. He and his owners now have a real chance for quality life. Fingers crossed that all can work and communicate and trust now. Looking forward to a follow-up video. Well done, all. Wonderful rescuers.
lol he was still hanging on to your every word!! 😂😂 Another Fantastic result 👍 What a little beef-cake, I love these ponies! 😍😊
I've watched almost every video over the last month or so (I'm even dreaming in Brummie) and I reckon your biggest training effort is in de-anthropomorphising owners! I've had horses in my life and if I knew half as much then as I've learned from you, I would have been three times the horseman I thought I was. Great job!
Magic Steve 🎉 So impressive, watching you working with Tango ! Steve to the rescue💙
Heart in my mouth for that one. Chunky little pony been through hell, thank god for that lady who rescued him and is prepared to give him a chance. Well done Steve and Tanya of course.
It's my understanding that she has had this horse for at least 3yrs...and that his behaviors have gone down hill. I hope the owner was able to learn as well as the horse.
@@rulistening3174 Possibly the owners are getting less able due to age. Well done to them for saving the equines. But they might need more help.
What an experience! To see what can be done in just over an hour. With this intervention, it is now possible to think this animal will go forward, and not be put down. Well done.
Amazing job! As a horserider and motorbiker must admit that bikes are much more safe overall. Great video. ❤ Great work Steve.
Sorry, have you seen the death count between horses and bikers…. I pray god will keep you safe on your motor bike travels and car drivers will always see you and never pull out… keep safe
I laughed out loud when you said, "Oh, H". This has to be one of my favorites. So much to notice. He's a handsome pony. I think he rolled his eyes when you commented on his mane.
This video shows how much horses want leadership, and how subtle their protests are. The bit about the head shaking was amazing. Showed exactly how they try to get rid of you, and how you can’t quit, or they know what it will take. I’ve had to do this with my cats in trimming their nails: tons of patience, praise, distraction if necessary, going slow, and not stopping till it’s done. My second cat went from whipping around, trying to bite me, to calmly letting me do it and it took me 2 years. Sure I could take them to the vet, but the stress would be crazy and traumatic. Doing it more often means I can do it faster and not have to clip off very much. Amazing about the hand feeding too. So good to know.
What a lovely horse. He's stocky and strong. I'm really surprised at how he learns and thinks about things. It's lovely to watch. Thank you
I have learned SO MUCH from your approach-and it is so elemental, so basic, intuitive and logical, which is brilliant and refreshing. You understand herd mentality and so appreciate you sharing your wisdom. Biggest lesson was about hand feeding, which most of us do, and why it so deleterious to the timid nervous horse. Thank you!
The horses in the back are paying attention!! 😀😀
THANK YOU for calling out the feeding!
I really love this pony. He is so special and you gave him a chance to have a great life.
Oh, wow…that boxing can be scary. Nicely done.
Oh my goodness Steve, you are such a Godsend! I‘m sure you just saved Tango’s life. That was fantastic, absolutely. I am so happy how he trusted you, how you changed his ways of thinking - amazing! - he really needed that badly and I am sure he will be much happier now too. He has been through so much and now can finally just be a happy horse again. He has the chance to gain even more confidence. It must be a huge relief for him. Jan and John are remarkable what they have done. What beautiful people! So happy you both went there and saved Tango’s life. Looking very forward to part 2 - I know he will amaze the socks off of us with the progress he will make! Blessings to you all. Lynda🧚🏼♀️💕
Once the halter went on.....he remembered what it was and understood...and after he boxed and Steve backed him up? I love that Steve showed him firmly who the alpha was
Wow! Another brilliant job! I always learn something more every video! You did a beautiful thing with that boy, his life is forever changed!
Steve you did Great I truly pray you can this beautiful pony to understand he safe ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing job Steve, we all understand you are fighting for his life. Complete transformation 😊 I hope the rescuers can learn from you enough to handle him.....
I love all of the horses in the background like, "whatcha doin'?" ❤😂
My heart was pounding when he started boxing. I hope you weren't too bruised! Well done that looked particularly hard work.
Wish I could swear on here cus that was feckin amazing, absolutely incredible 👏🏻👏🏻 And you’ve saved his life theres just so many good things about about what you’ve done, love how you can get into their minds and understand them. Outstanding service to horses, total respect ✊🏼
Was muss das arme Tier schon alles durchgemacht haben! Niemals würde es sich sonst so benehmen. Möge es viel Liebe und Verständnis erhalten, das wünsche ich ihm von Herzen! 😘😘😘
Love how Tango and steve have an audience! The other horses are Tango’s support team. ‘Good job Tango! We r here for you dude!’ I can think of a few humans who would benefit from a couple hours w Steve…. How the world might be different🧡
Just incredible to watch!!! What an incredible difference in such a short about of time, well done, you've just saved that pony's life, it would of been such a horrible ending to his story, surviving so much horrors & abuse only for the trauma from his previous abuse to jeopardise his life that he & others fought so hard to get him physically back to health, as well as losing, probably the first home where he's been loved, cared for & treated the way he always should have!!! What an amazing job you've done with him & what incredible people his new owners are for dedicating there life to giving these beautiful animals a second chance in life & finally giving & showing them all the love they deserve xxx
Great work with a fearful horse, they can become fearful so easily. No fuss. Brilliant.
WOW, YOUR LIKE A HORSE WISPERER!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOO, GLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO HELP SAVE THIS HORSE!!!!! THANKS TO THE FOLKS THAT RESQUED ALL THOSE BEAUITFUL HORSES!!!!!!!!!!!! Do take care. USA
You saved his life. What an amazing whisperer, wow. It would have been such a shame to have to let him go when so much has been put into saving him
You’re dedication shows with the amazing out comes Such a transformation What a True gift you have for these troubled Horses and Grateful Owner’s Steve love you’re videos and the relationship you and Sweet Tanya Have! Thank You for all You Both Do!!❤❤
It absolutely warms my heart to see the great strides that was made with this rescue pony! It probably saved his life. Steve has an absurd amount of intelligence and is so instrumental in allowing the horse and the owner to develop a relationship that works for the both of them. I have such respect for you, Sir! You have chosen a career that rewards you in so many ways and your passion for it teaches all who watches your videos. I can’t find words potent enough to say how much I love the transformation I just watched. LOVE IT!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing change of perspective never thought of feeding by hand to be seen by the horse as food being taken from me.. thank you Steve !! Love your technics and it’s very much herd behaviour they would act out between each other 💞
Beautiful , mud and all , another creature saved ❣️
The story of this poor Pony almost made me cry...and i seldom do. Now i watch the video....
Wow Steve that was an amazing transformation! Thank you for everything you do!
You made stunning & amazing progress! This is exactly what the horse needed and wanted all these years. Bravo to the rescuers and to you!!
great job mate, It's lovely to see the little bloke calm down with you and what a lovely couple they are to save all those horses. i fear with the financial problems people are having at the moment that there are going to be a lot more horses needing homes
Remarkable confidence building and removing the fear without any bullying...very impressive Steve. Bravo to both you and Tango...whose life you seem to have saved.
It is truly a wonderment to be able to communicate with them in their language. Your videos are invaluable and show what it means to truly connect and be the kind of horseman we all should aspire to be. Thank you for never giving up and showing us what it means to be patient, and compassionate! You truly are a gem!!!
It's clear that this is a very intelligent horse, he's learning super fast and he's observing everything you do. He's definitely not a mean horse but his experiences have obviously left him scared and uncertain about humans. I'm glad they could get help from you and as always you're doing an amazing job.
Steve, you are an angel! Endlessly patient and calm and knowledgeable. I admire you!
Another great awesome video!! Not only do I learn so much from watching your technique, I’ve also been able to be more calm and patient with my horses. Now if I could only do this with PEOPLE….🙄
Love your videos, and as a 84 yo horsewoman, I am still learning. Horses are a continued adventure. Love them God Bless you. K
Absolutely amazing how quickly he knows what you want!
The worst thing we can do is get mad! This! Every correction is quiet, no malice, simply cause and effect. I like to give treats too but I love how you put it. No horse would allow a subservient horse take his food. I never thought of it that way. But if we put ourselves in the horse hierarchy we can see why that can be problematic. I do so love what you do. You’ve given this guy a second or maybe its third chance but without you and your technique it would not work.
