Introducing Homer. This little spotted horse belongs to our good friend, Gabby. He's a 6 year old that Pat has nicknamed "Spotted Fever." He had a pretty rough start from what we've been able to observe from his intense fearfulness, reactivity, and anxiety. In this video, Pat is making some headway with the flag. Prior to this, Pat has spent time roping his feet and hanging him and just getting to know him. Homer will be an ongoing student of ours so you can follow his and Gabby's progress.

    Pat, this was my eight year old when I first got him nearly two years ago. With much help - very much including yours he has become a fine horse and partner. Thanks

    "The tip of his eye is pupils" . Thanks for that connection. I am excited to watch his progress. Thank goodness he is owned by Gabby and being rehabbed with help from 'the best in the west'. Its all 'west' if you circle the planet. 😂 in the right direction .

    I love working horses but don't think I'll ever be able to do it again. I broke my back in a bad accident (not horse related) about four years ago. Now I live vicariously through you and your videos. Thank you so much, I really miss it.

    I’ve been working on a mare that was beaten a LOT. It’s taken me two years to get her better but she still is reactive to certain hand movements. I’ll never give up though, she’s a fantastic ride in the roughest country.
  • @katec708
    oh he is so cute and so scared... thank you for being so gentle with him<3
  • @pattimartin7250
    ooooh Gabby, you just got him the best help he could ever have...

    Love that the horse responded so well to the owner. I also have a horse that most people can't catch, but that same horse will come running to Me if she hears me singing in the pasture :)

    Thank you you are helping me tremendously.. I have abused Horse situation. This is the worst encounter I’ve ever had a Horse that is always in flight mode. I have a long road ahead of me, but I’m far from a quitter. I appreciate your analogy of Horse behavior.

    I'm glad you pointed out the "licking and chewing" b.s... Not many people understand it.
  • @liamrooney5314
    There's enough climatic videos out there, and with plenty of examples of how to create horses like this.

    My 24 yr. old TWH gelding was terrified of everything when I got him almost 11 yrs. ago. It took us a LONG time to trust each other but he is a different horse now. He still gets spooked once in a while, (4 wheelers are horse eating monsters!) but he spooks in place instead of loosing his mind. I'm not a horse trainer by a LONG shot, just watched a LOT of videos from real horse trainers like you to learn and listen and try! He's a pretty Appy, by the way!
