... Did the kicking start when the shoes went on? I'd rather see him be shoeless myself. But, it could be that it is a shoddy shoeing job. Can you take...
I'd prefer to see him shoeless also. Usually a hoof breaking up is due to improper trim and a lack of a mustang roll. Once the hoof wall touches the ground,...
Ditto the idea that this horse is in pain of some sort. We all know that kicking at the belly is a sign of colic. I can't say where the pain is, but it's got...
PS: Pete Ramey's DVD is now available for rental at www.yourhorsematters.com Dolores Arste Author: Conversations With Cadbury www.zenhorsemanship.com Find us...
And I might add that the DVD are well worth the money. I've watched and re-watched all the tapes and it's provided me with even more insight to the trim and...
His feet just have not caught up with the rest of him. I'm thinking ... Sure sounds like sore feet. My farriers showed me something they were using. Don't...
Beautiful! I love the feel and the look he has. Thanks for posting it! Have any other videos? Melissa and Ruby [Non-text portions of this message have been...
... Thank you Melissa! There are other videos, but they're mostly from early spring 08...and in the winter he looks like a different horse...more like a 16 h...
Hi everyone, I am having difficulty with my 6 year old haflinger. He is a very drafty, sweet boy but when I am leading him past a tempting patch of grass, he...
Sounds like there is consensus about his feet being the issue. If his feet are breaking up then the first thing i would be looking at is diet. Feet that are...
Hi Ivy, This post got caught somehow in my spam folder. I think the pose is best taught by Alexandra in her book. I don't teach the pose. Instead I allow the...
One more idea that is a little different. If this has just started recently, could it be over sensitivity to insects? I have known a couple horses that just...
** He had some tough times and has only been getting proper feed for about three months.** Those words jumped right out at me! "Proper feed for about 3 months"...
Hi Marilyn, ... Well, you've just encountered the Real World where there are all manner of reinforcers 'out there' to reward behavior, some of it Unwanted....
Thanks for all the replies! Maybe I can clarify, or just ramble for a bit. I'll check out those DVDs. I don't know nearly as much as I'd like about trimming....
... Hi, OK there is surely a lot of stuff going on. He's definitely one un-happy camper. I wouldn't wait to treat him for ulcers. There isn't really any ...
There is so much going on here it's hard to figure out where to start. What I would do is start with the feeding program. I might put him on the Emergency diet...
YESS I have that kind of horses to and I seem to have solved it pretty much. Firstly setting the goal only to train on not eating the grass (to disable...
Hope I'm not repeating something I missed but last night I had a long talk with a friend who owned race horses and now rescues them. She has spent ten years...
**Slowly I can get more steps and in the end the horse understands that sometimes I say yes to grazing but preferably when I say yes, and they seem to feel it...
Re your TB........Have you investigated any of the Bach's Flower Essences? If you find the right combination, it might calm him enough that the "real" problem...
When clicking my TWH gelding Mo he does great (he's 15), listens well, is not grabby. But, is sooooo excited his erection touches his belly. Makes me leery...
Ulcers are an interesting suggestion. I've considered the possibility. I'll call the vet today. I forgot the camera last night, so no hoof pics. The shoeing...
... When I lived in Japan I had a young Anglo-Arab. I taught her to flex and she did the same thing. I'd just curl my toes back so she was only getting the...
Good suggestions in this thread! I¹ve got one of those grass diving horses too and I love Ulrika¹s idea of ³giving fair warning² by counting out loud ...
He might need boots until his feet completely transition to healthy feet. Easy boot makes a good one that works well to ride in. The Epic boot seems to stay...
