The words I’ve always been told “ a good stallion, makes a damn amazing gelding” Nobody can deny a flashy, talented, and sweet gelding! Happy to see you happy with him Matt! He’s definitely a special colt, I’ll be excited to see y’all run ( if y’all get too...stupid corona )
I love that you're preaching about gelding a horse when they aren't shaping up to be a well-rounded stallion which includes temperment! You are certainly right. I don't think we do it enough these days in reining.
I have a buddy of mine who swears by the competitive nature of stallions. Those horses are for jousting though and not reigning. They get into it just like we do. Chomping at the bit and charging down the lane ready to jump on someone like a spider monkey. It takes a special kind of horse to want to engage someone with a lance, spear or a big old club. I think that herd animals have to love you to be willing to wade into battle with ya. Anyways, glad to see that beautiful horse feeling better.
I wish they make a second season of "Run for a million". And Matt, please make more videos for those of us damned with a quaratine and a winter that lags. Thanks.
Funny, I raised a few stallions and they were calm as could be. First rides were bareback! My current filly and my old gelding had more fire, but each horse is different.
Oh dear poor man but for the best he will be a lot happier now. Have you ever had a well behaved gentle stallion? Is he an Andalusian he has that look about him especially his head.
Take off the nuts and they are more interested in grass than @$$. "Stallion" is a category that should be reserved just for the very best males, not the numerous gee-he's-really-nice horses.
Disliked this from the start. Yanked the horse's head about.....bit is too high. Why do you ride with the head so low? That causes loads of problems in horses.....but I guess the way you went on and on about money....the money is more important than the horse. That's the impression this video gives and it's sad.
A lot of quarter horses are bred to have a lower natural headset. Forcing a head down yes can be bad for the horse, but if it's their natural head set there is nothing wrong with a low head. It sounds like he cares about the horse, hence why he gelded him when he realized that the horse wouldn't do well as a stud. If he cared only about money he could leave him as a stud and stud him out.
Yes, why would someone supposedly so knowledgeable bridle the horse and stretch his mouth back against a relaxed bit? I also watched one of your more recent videos, an update about a bald face horse named Bluey. You're a 203 pound man (looked it up), and you said Bluey had grown several inches and put on an additional 200 pounds since you last rode him, and then you said he was only a two year old!!! The only reason for someone your size, to ride young horses with an immature muscleskeletal systems, at two year olds (doing hard stops and ect.-reining), is money.
