Horse rearing and flipping over. 

Hi, like I said she was and is physically in perfect health, no excuse but as we got to know and understand each other better she is a highly sensitive mare I have worked with horses in 4 different countries and since I was a kid a good 30 years of experience and I have never come across a mare like her. I moved her to a new stable and she is a completely different horse!! She did not like the man and being in his stable she hated it and just kept escalating, to this point. I was fooled into letting him work with her but after that video he never worked with her again. I brought her from a dealer at 2 years old and he had beat the shit out of her repeatedly when I got her the first few months were spent nursing her back to health. I broke her and trained her myself. After this video we had 4 years of amazing riding and adventures and last year she had her first foal you can see the other videos of him. And he is amazing, I am now starting to work with her again. She is my girl no matter how difficult and fucked up she is!! Which she is!!

@@rachaelaura811 I knew she had to have been very mistreated or extremely spoiled. I've know horses who didn't like men because they had been beaten, but were fine with women.

animal videos on youtube are funny. No matter what the situation, the commenters think they are experts. Just stfu you worthless sack of shit.

'Listen and trust what your horse is telling you.'.................Very wise advice.

@@rachaelaura811 So you are blaming the horse..........'no matter how difficult and fucked up she is.' It is not the horse. It is the person/people working with the horse. A horse is a reflection of the person. Get it.

Blue_wolf_3000_ Gacha there’s nothing wrong with this, this horse is just testing them it only flipped over bc it felt a little bit trapped

@@lvrboix388 that's whats wrong. horses are live beings, they have needs too and this is their only form of communication

It was the horse the guy who was long-reigning her did nothing wrong

@@s.2018 I dis agree that man should have saw how uncomfortable the horse was.

@@kriannarumsey2918 they were probably longreigning her for the first time, doesn’t always go so well

"crule"

Brb I'mma find those people and slap the heck out of them

How? The horse flipped itself over the people didn’t do anything

Have you considered trying bitless? If it took her that long to 'accept' a bit then maybe the entire problem is the bit. If not the bit then I would have a chiropractor out, she may be feeling pain somewhere and reacting to it, she seems very stiff. The things a good chiropractor can do for a horse is amazing!

Aura at this time was broke and riding no problem, she is a super sensitive mare and the man working with her set her off like dynamite. For some reason she did not like him at all and would flip herself whenever he was near. I stopped letting him near her, she was calmer but still very nervous. So I moved her out of that yard and took her home with me where we had no more issues and then I rode her about 18 kilometers to a new stable in the mountains, run by a lovely dutch lady and her family. She settled there, they treat her with love and gentle and she is back to her amazing self before I took her to that stable. She has triggers for that behavior that stem from when the dealer had her and beat her she will panic and freak out if you try and restrain her head in any way side reins, draw reins anything like that. I can ask her to collect and she will because I asked. She still is slightly claustrophobic, she is nervous in arenas and will not settle in them and will become dangerous if push. Like I said she is a super sensitive mare, but take her out in open country or on a hack she is the bravest, and there is nothing she wont do!! Try and explain that!! She is a high maintenance mare who is super sensitive calm and quiet the whole time and she will do whatever you want, the second you get a little angry she panics and freaks out. She has gave birth to a beautiful palomino colt foal in April she is an amazing mother and I am looking forward to working with her as soon as the colt is weaned. I have never come across a horse like her, I can rider her bare back in a halter out in the fields or hacking on the road and she will never put a foot wrong, take her into the arena and watch out!! So your assessment is completely wrong as are a lot of people's who see this video. thank you.

Geni N TheAmigos so the negative votes are people who don't understand they are trying to fix "abnormal" behavior? Though defined as in animal science as a beast of burden kind of way? Or is it one of the conditions where the animals quality life is poor because of its condition, and you either fix it or euthanize? Like when cats have the disorder where they think their skin is attacking them.

That is self preservation, the mystery to solve is getting down to why this behavior was adapted as a defense mechanism to some perceived fear or pain either current or past. A horses first instinct is to run. if it can't run but needs escape , the only way left to go is up and down. I think training where the horse is given a choice to participate and rewards and positive reinforcement instead of restraint and punishment is the way to go. Well with all animals and everyone realy.

She had sore shoulders but a week on box rest and light in hand walking, and some anti inflammatories. She was fine, that was the last time the man worked with her. I toke off the long reins and toke her out of the arena and hacked her out she loved it she was much more relaxed. Even to this day if I take her into an arena she freaks out and had panic attacks. Where as hacking or cross country she is brave, forward and nothing fazes her. Good luck with your guy, be careful they can quickly become their own worst enemy.

i wonder where this arena phobia stems from? as a kid we used to horse ride but i have never seen or heard of a horse doing something like this

I would say that the above behavior was my fault I should never have let this man near her he was like a match to her dinomite, she is super sensitive and the smallest bit of pressure and she panics. So she has all these bad memories in the arena. She is a very unique horse I have been riding and working with horses for nearly 30 years and I have never meet a horse like her!! But on the ground and riding outside the arena she is amazing, beautiful and gentle, she is a head scratcher!! I also got her from a dealer and when I got her it took me months just to be able to touch her!!

Thank you for your educational rant, this mare was and has been seen to by the dentist, osteopath and a chiropractor there was nothing wrong with her and no reason for her behaviour I am an experienced horse person and have never in my life come across a horse like her. I have worked with horses in 4 different countries and in different disciplines. I still have this mare she never did this with me, she is super sensitive even if I think a bad thought she can feel and gets upset. But 3 years ago I took her from that stable, the man who is handling her in the video was like petrol to her fire they clashed in a very bad way as you can see. This mare is amazing on the ground and so brave and surprisingly safe riding anywhere but in an arena!! In the new stable she has settled down so very much, and is the pet of the yard and is due her first foal this April. I am hope this will calm her down and center her, fingers crossed. But thanks for your concern.

It is sad that some people mistreat their horses. Worse, they ruin them for the next owner. When I think about abuse I always think of an example that Monty Roberts gave in his autobiography about how a broken horse only does what is eneded to avoid punishment, but one who is taught and who decides to obey and follow you will try hard throughout his life. They have brains and those with heart will give everything for a horsemen they respect and regard as the heard leader rather that a tyrant to fear.

Roping up a horse in general is not very natural. Just saying. Edit: I'm not an expert in any means, so I may be wrong.

Then you should have stopped the "lesson" the first time she cut her mouth open. Continuing to work with an injured horse is not only abusive, but entirely counter productive. Horses react this way not because they're having "tantrums" but because the rider/trainer is doing something wrong and the horse is reacting to the pain, fear, or discomfort.

@@richardkane8367 for real. Horses can throw "tantrums" but unless its taught behaviour that escalated its never this severe. If my gelding throws a "tantrum"(he has seperation anxiety that im working on him with and will do this when I won't let him face other horses while asking him to move away) he'll throw his head and do this little hop and then stop and do what's being asked of him. Anything more than a hop, because he has certainly thrown me for doing stupid things, tells me he's terrified or in pain. I don't understand people blaming their horse for screaming out that they don't like something for various reasons.

Hi Tabatha, thanks. Aura is much better now and I am going to put her in foal in April. People keep saying that I should sell her because all they see is a difficult horse who won't do what is expected of her. I would never sell her she is difficult but her handled the right way and she will do anything or try and do anything that I ask of her. So now I am hoping to get a lovely foal, and see if having a foal will calm her down. Thank you.

Yes she is.

Yes but thats not really the point of the video to show off their pretty horse.

@@kriannarumsey2918 you really just replied on a 4 year old comment. Also that is not the point of this video I know. I just commented that it was a beautiful horse.

? Every single one of my horses backs up when I click. Click means move, the rest of my body determines which direction.

Giselle B clicks mean move. it's like putting your car in reverse and pushing the gas. how else will it move?

Hi Zane, my mare has a trigger for this behavior, whenever you restrict her head carriage in any way she panics and flips she is also slightly claustrophobic and sometimes panics in confined spaces such as the arena. She flipped once with me on her but that was my fault. She is a super sensitive mare if I frown at her she starts worrying. I bought her from a dealer at 2 years old but she was already pretty messed up by then so a lot of her behavior problems come from. In regards to what I did I took her out of the arena and on hacks, cross country and she was amazing!! Nothing scared her!! She was amazing went everywhere did everything I later found out that she had a back injury which broke my heart but she has just had her first foal the most beautiful palomino colt. He is 5 months old now and both of them are going amazing. I will put up a video of them. So my advice would be to thing out of the box. Find your boys trigger and take him away do something else, there are so many different thing that you can do together with your horse. Try something new and as your trust and bond grow go back to your problem with time it gets better. I hope this helps you and your boy good luck.

Hi Naomi, I don't mind but I would like to give a little history so you can understand. At this time Aura was broke and riding, and had jumped out of numerous fields over big fences. This guy cond me into thinking he was a great show jumper, and that for her to jump right she had to go in the proper position. I didn't let him work with her again after this. I got her as a 2 year old from a dealer who beat her when I got her you could not touch her or get near her she had deep cuts and an infected abscess on her back leg. So it took a long time to get her here and he wrecked that. Now she is amazing and brave and quiet and I can do most thing with her accept ride her in an arena or put anything on her that constricts her head. For hacking or hunting or anything outside she is amazing and will do anything that is asked of her. I think due to her trauma she could be claustrophobic. She is also highly sensitive, so much so I could not ride her in a bad mood, it would freak her out and she would panic but I think that has to do with our super strong bond. I hope this helps, she is not a phyco horse just misunderstood, and now that we understand each other we are great.

Rachael Aura Thankyou for getting back to me, and for the back story. Bless her heart. She looks like a real sweet mare just troubled. I’ve seen this kind of behaviour so many times in horses like you described - claustrophobic, ok as long as they aren’t under too much pressure. I’m glad she has an understanding and patient owner. I’ll share her story when I give the workshop!

I searched it from TikTok

Amari Gatlin yeah same

Yeah, it's bleeding because the horses face is getting pulled so much. If you're gonna do this kind of training, at least use a bit-less bridle or something because this horse is in so much pain.

Ya exactly these people don’t have any common sense I have a horse and I’m only 15 and even I know better then these people

@@madisonrose5178 I (sadly) don't own a horse but i am a huge horse fan and i have done my research. I'm not claiming to be an expert by any means but I do know that the only reason this horse reared is because he was in so much pain and he wanted to escape. I did learn that horses, as you might probably know already because you are a horse owner, are strong, but because of their thinner skin feel more pain then humans. I pray that these people stop doing this to this poor horse. I am glad that you noticed the fact that he was bleeding so people will see it as well. (And sorry for the rant, but it's just sad to see this horse in pain.)

Helen Watts oh no it’s quite alright I’m agreeing with everything that your saying lol

That depends on what you are trying to do, on most horses this would have been fine. But my mare is super sensitive about her head and what is done to it. She is not mean or stupid she had a bad start before I got her and that start still lingers with her.

hi

Rachael Aura but it hitting it leg from the back is very scary for them I know because I have 10 horses and I am 48 years old and training horses

Yes, for beginners this mare was already broke and riding when this started. the man wanted her to carry her head a certain way and with this mare any restriction of the head and she has a panic attack. This was the last time that the man worked with her, I toke her out of that yard and into a smaller private yard and she never did it again. But it is very difficult to ride her in an arena and time she is in one she panics and becomes very dangerous in complete contrast with her behavior outside I can take her any where and do anything with her as long as it is not in an arena! I have worked and trained horses most of my life and I have never meet a horse like her, on the ground my kids can lead her around and do anything they like with her but mount her and take her into an arena and she is a completely different horse. I have put her in foal and am hoping that it will calm her down.

@@rachaelaura811 and this will cure her of being head sensitive and sort of unpredictable?! If she is as you say would it not be better to find a cure than possibly bring another sweet but unpredictable horse into the world. Only proven disposition in a horse along with conformation of its pedigreed lineage should be allowed to breed. There is already too many horses being sent to slaughter. But it was your choice. Says too many horse owners.

Hi Sofia, thanks for the advice but I took her out of that stable and gave her a holiday for 6 months. She has been back in work now for nearly 2 months and she is perfect and we will soon be ready for training shows in about 3 weeks!!! There has been no sign of any of her previous behaviour we are jumping, hacking and doing anything that we want and at the moment we are trying to perfect the art of collection!!! I was actually adviced to take her to the factory but I could not give up on her and now she is the horse that I always knew she could be. Thanks, I hope you fixed your horse as well.

+Rachael Aura very glad u r both doing fine now

Yep been there done that lots of times

Sofia, that is an awfully dangerous thing to do. A horse, if layed on their side for too long, can die from its own body weight crushing it's lungs. Please never leave a horse tied to the ground or the their feet together

That's a good way to get yourself reported for animal abuse.
