Hi Ryan, my gelding tends to get crabby when he is brought in the barn to get tacked up alone. He also refuses to leave without rearing and throwing a tantrum. We don’t have cross ties or anything, we just i them up like you have this horse in the first round of tacking up and whenever I try to go either under his neck or behind him he try’s to bite. I trust him that he won’t kick but I’m still concerned about the biting.

@haleykay776 8 месяцев назад

I loved that the lady acknowledged that the problem started when she was rushing and wasn't necessarily paying full attention.... very easy to do. She didn't blame the horse. Great masterclass in release to pressure and as always Ryan's calm energy helping this horse find her way back . Fabulous

@Lilian040210 7 месяцев назад

He's moving confidently because he knows what he's doing, a lot of owners are very skiddish around the horse, especially if they've already been aggressive. I remember one video where the owner was not able to get the horse to move, and Ryan just came up and led the horse away, he didn't even do any of the training😅 That must've been even worse for confidence

I'm new to watching equestrian channels and really enjoy it. I came across your channel and appreciate your style in communication with the horses that you help. Good on this owner for being humble enough to ask for help in dealing with her horse's behavior issue. I have not watched the entire video but I'm pausing to add this next comment that may seem out of place. What I'm about to share is in regard to this barn environment. And so my inspiration for commenting at this time is due to the audible sound iseveral.minutes in because I noticed a buzzing sound that Could very well be from the fluorescent lighting in your barn. Tubes and compact fluorescent bulbs (cfls) emit a high pitch radio frequency sound. This type lighting is very harmful and animals are very sensitive to the effects from them. Please switch to incandescent -Yes they are available on line as LED and fluorescent lighting/tubes create anxiety and damage the retinas, your animals will thank you.

A chiropractor isn’t a medical person-or may not be. And the vet didn’t scope the horse but declared it was ulcer free-which is basically a guess. So I don’t know that any definitive medical procedures have been performed. BUT if a bit of training clears up the issue, then I would imagine that the horse did not have ulcers in the first place. Doesn’t hurt to try!

@Tam-Solo70 8 месяцев назад

The mare I purchased 7 months ago does this very thing! She is trained amazingly but was leased out for (2)6 month stents with 2 different families so who knows what happened. The owner said she never did this before and probably needed adjusted. I had her checked for ulcers but they didn’t offer to scope her and vet said she was fine. I was thinking when the roads are decent again to have her checked for kissing spine as well as actually get her scoped now that they offer that service. My horse continues to nip through the cinching and mounting but once you walk off she is great. I pretty much do this very same work with her to get her through the process but it’s something I have to do every single time.

@HaleyClaire 8 месяцев назад

What "ulcer stuff"??? Anything other than omeprazole and you're not actually treating ulcers...also two weeks isn't long enough to treat ulcers.

@evelynwaugh4053 8 месяцев назад

A chiropractor definitely wouldn't be treating ulcers. You can get omepizole over the counter, but the equine dose is very high, and 30 days of treatment, for the first two weeks, I think it's twice a day.

@evelynwaugh4053 8 месяцев назад

@katiewashington7338 Ulcerguard in the tube is omeprazole, but the tube syringe is about $50 and only contains 2 to 3 doses depending on weight, so my vet just uses regular omeprazole in a capsule, but you have to open 10 capsules per dose. Much cheaper, though.

@dawnaustin4556 8 месяцев назад

Horses can benefit from Aloe Vera, Slippery Elm, psyllium for ulcer healing. Definitely two weeks isn't long enough if there's active problem. Adding a little alfalfa helps, too.

@slunt3123 8 месяцев назад

There is a reason why saddles were created, to spread the pressure of our pelvis bone points over a large area of the horse’s back. Bareback pads can’t do that. I think the horse was being very clear, saying, Don’t ride me with that pad. It hurts.”

@henrietta9394 8 месяцев назад

I think a bareback pad is probably better than a heavy western saddle, but I'd suggest that they get this horse checked out for ulcers or kissing spine regardless of what Ryan said.

@@henrietta9394 I do agree with you! This horse is trying so hard to tell humans that she do not want anything on her back! There is a reason for that, she is not disobedient.

Bareback pads are hard on a horses back. They do not help to distribute the weight. That's what a tree in a properly fitted saddle does to help decrease pressure points. She's also built downhill with some lordosis, so proper fitting is important. Turn the horse out and give her some time off. Lesson horses work hard and deserve breaks. I feel bad for this horse.

She sniffs the bareback, but when you get next to her and try to lift it up, she bites and walks away from it. We give her the space for it, but it doesn't seem to work very well

@cattymajiv 8 месяцев назад

That's what I think too. Possibly it's a combination. I think the horse is also anticipating having a heavy western saddle tossed onto them, and maybe a too tight girth or cinch as well. And having students pulling hard on its mouth for at least an hour or 2. (Which is part of what you said.)

@cattymajiv 8 месяцев назад

I don't correct people's spelling very often, but since you asked, the spelling for the western girth is "cinch". It's also the same spelling if you are using that word to say a thing is easy. Both ways, it's spelled c-i-n-c-h.

@maryellenlock4050 8 месяцев назад

Give the horse a flake of hay before you bring him out to tack up. Hay coats the stomach and protects the moving horse from the sloshing stomach acid while being ridden. Horse probably has ulcers and associates tacking up with being ridden, therefore doesn't want to be tacked up because of the upcoming acid burning her empty stomach. Hay before tacking up may help. Gastroguard is medication for treatment of ulcers, need 30 day veterinarian prescription for gastroguard. Good luck to you.
