Nack in the dark ages when i was working horses ,my problem was always with the owners .. All the work ,to have an owner just do what ever they want and put these promising horses through the confusion and sometimes abuse then badmouth me and haul them off to the sales yard or sold to another inexperianced person.. As for what id call, them who know and those that know better,gets down right ugly at times. Dont miss all that human interactions , but man id take the very worst and dangerous of them horses anytime ! The satisfaction of their tranformation was worth more then the money everytime😊You be proud and keep honest , what you do is a kindness ,keep up your good work ! ETHICS and HONESTY ,are rare these days !
I love this 🥹🩷 As a horse owner and a dog owner, this needs to be said EVERYWHERE. They are not robots and it’s up to us to work with them through problems. Humans and animals alike are not perfect.
Dude, keep the dog in the house- you're just stressing out the horse which can be a cause for bucking. I've had very bad experiences with dogs chasing horses, rarely ends well.
My opinion on if a horse bucks under saddle during training. My goal is to always overprepare the horse before putting the saddle on, as well as before getting the first ride in. If the horse bucks or throws a major hissy fit, we will go back a couple of steps and work on those for a while before trying again. Excited bucks don't count as they have a visual difference from the "get this monster off of me" buck.
Very beautiful horses. Go slow. Also no dogs when your having a training session. This guy is nervous and tense. Know how to read body language. His back is down, his foot is cocked, head is high, ears are back and tense.❤
I totally agree that the foal will watch his mom for her interaction with their human. We have cared for stray cats for about 20 years and we've seen the little ones get their leads from the older ones. If they see the older ones trust you and love on you, they feel like you must be okay. So I believe your foal will play off Mama's vibes. Trust is everything. 💞🐎🐴💞
I love how you imprint with blowing up Her nose. I’ve done this with every foal I’ve owned I Learned it from Watching horses greet each other especially the first meeting. They touch noses and blow in each other noses. My horses still expect me to do it when I greet them. ❤
Every horse is unique imo. This is especially important to remember when you don't have the horse's history and breeding lineage. Though information helps to interpret, interact and respond to a horse's behavior- such as bucking, nothing supercedes time, trust respect and bonding. And rushing or pushing because you are on the⏰️ doesn't help. And lastly, like people horses have off days. Always, end your time with your horse on a positive note; a word of love, grooming & a good scratch along with the "treat treat tax" helps your horse feel safe and cared for.
There was a wonderful British woman (Barbara Woodhouse) who had a TV program on dogs and training them. She also diverged to horses and brought up the importance of sharing breath with your horse. You are the first of the 4 horsey channels I watch to mention sharing your breath with the foal. You are good.
I love this series. I like how you discussed different approaches to foal handling. Every trainer and every foal are unique. But I really like your approach, it makes so much sense. Keep these coming please. And Chaos is adorable.
Some toddlers bite when they have big feelings without an outlet. Nobody says it's okay to bite, but nobody says its unusual before they know better, either
God created horses perfectly to carry a rider. From the gentle curve in the back that keeps your tush in place, the narrowing at the withers to form a grip for your legs. Even the gap between the teeth where a bit will fit comfortably.
I had to learn that too. I have a TBI from getting thrown into a retaining wall by a very obnoxious Appaloosa that was chasing other horses during the lesson. I stupidly got back on when I should’ve gone to the hospital and I’m dealing with the consequences still. That was 2017 and, I have a lot of issues from it, but I’m slowly getting back into horseback riding ❤
I see you are in Northern Arizona and I would love to come to visit you and show you the love in Prescott for a new friend who would have been there for you ❤
I have a very similar story! I’m so glad to see you are back to walking a riding. Enjoy every single second of it! As someone else said age will bring back the injuries sometimes. I can’t ride anymore these days, but I still enjoy being around my horses! Never give up!
