Huge horse panic's and runs off!! What can I do to help??

I like the philosophy: “a perfect sea doesn’t make a great sailor”! It’s the challenging horses that teach a good horseman!

We're fans from the U.S. for a couple years now. We've watched many trainers and Steve you are one of the best! You are so thoughtful and make total sense in training. You and Tanya are doing great work helping others to treat and train horses properly. Thank you for your work.

I remember when I worked at a stables when I was 18 I had been there for 5 years, a new horse came in a rescue. He was trouble I was told. When the yard was quiet I went to his stable, his head appeared and he just bite me and lifted me up off the floor. I didn’t move away or reacted, spoke to him softly and offered him an apple treat, he was confused but he he took it, we formed a bond there and then. I was the only person who could ride him, everyone else he would throw off, go near him, over time my friend could but I was his favourite . The stables was going to move him on , I pleaded with them not to, I paid for his feed and vets, thereafter. I’m 56 now still miss him. He know I was not a threat to him but a friend.

I am from the U.S., and I know absolutely nothing about horses, but even as a child, I got a terrible knot in my gut when I watched the way horses were ridden in the Western style Hollywood movies. Much later, I have watched many horse video's from quite a few trainers, and I felt a little better, but there always seemed to be something missing. Watching Steve Young, it has suddenly become clear. The thing that has always been missing is that other people know how to train horses, but they don't know horses. What a pleasure to see someone who understands the animals he is training.

i read a great research paper done in the UK where a safety mirror was used with horses who had panic. I ordered a plexiglass safety mirror to fit in my horse trailer. When a horse sees another horse the stress hormone does not turn on. It worked for our rescue mare that had horrible separation and trailering anxiety. I call it my "magic mirror". So grateful for your work. You are a kind person. blessings from America.

Robyn deserves a lot of credit for her persistence and patience, as well as her steady nerves. And a big cheer for Artie as well. With some more work, I think they'll develop into a great team.

That is an amazing brave woman! He is a giant of a horse. She has worked hard on him to get him where he is with your help and advice. Good job Steve!

Steve and Tanya , I’m a fan from Canada, so enjoy all your work. So very respectful and in tune with the horses, love your gentleness. Wish you lived next door.

I wish both Robin and Arty to have amazing time together on their journey. :) You are enormous help for troubled horses, Steve. It's a pleasure to watch! :)

The perfect blend of leadership, management and achievement. I love to watch these emotional horse stories, Steve. Thank you for all you do! 🐎

I'm watching this from Indiana.... I recently tore my left knee meniscus and have been on crutches for the past six weeks watching these horse videos give me a little little bit of hope that maybe once again I can ride!!!!

Beautiful Arty, so pleased to see him again. Robyn loves her boy and they will develop together over the next few years with good advice. I hope we see him again in the future.

Thanks to you, I am no longer afraid of horses. I now know how to approach and behave around them. Gee, I was scaring the crap out of them. thanks,

The owners aren’t giving up on him and the rider is a brave girl trying to stay the course. Hopefully, it all works out for everybody.

I too have a horse with issues and am learning from him every step of the way. I allow all the time he needs for every step, and he is progressing wonderfully. I have to give up having any set agenda, and let him progress at his pace. A wonderful process. Thank you Steve for showing the challenges. And Robin is brave and skilled already.

Wow, what a change already in this horse, well done Steve. Robyn and mum have a lot of work to put in and they will, Artie is going to be a great event horse. Thank you Steve and Tanya for encouraging them. ❤

OMG the whole time I was fingers crossed saying “come on Arte…come on Arte…come on Arte”. I was ACTUALLY nervous. It was AWESOME when he loaded right up at the end…..you GO Artie!! Things weren’t perfect but it’s a tribute to Robin that she’s willing to work out these problems…and she and Artie proved they CAN be worked out. I would LOVE to see an update on these two. ❤

Pennsylvania here..wass waiting for an update on Artie..such a difference with your help..THANK YOU so much for helping him..that little box we put them in for traveling is so claustrophobic to most horses..I hope he and Robin can become a great team, even if they don't end up eventing..a great trusting relationship is important too..as always prayers and blessings

I’m wishing Robin success with this challenging horse

Y’all are just the best! Well done! Lots of kindness and persistence. I stand amazed.
