Thank you for your comment. Ranger had nerve damage in his lower lip, so it did flop a bit. Made it hard to take him seriously. LoL!

+Very Good! Every young equestrian should watch this once a week so they will practice your method. it will also limber up your horse (horse yoga?). Have you done a video about laminitis---the English called it founder because they were a sea faring nation. When a ship foundered it was because it ran aground. When a horse foundered, it was lame. couldn't move. Yes, there are a couple of reasons. One reason a horse might not want to move is that it is "long in the toe" or as some might say "needs it's feet trimmed". Why is that important? The hoof grows form the back, or the heel. As it gores forward the FLESH WILL SEPERATE FROM THE HOOF WALL. OUCH! If the hooves are kept on a monthly trimming (or 6 week schedule) then a problem is avoided. What problem? When the hooves are neglected, then trimmed, the horse is "tender footed" because of the flesh seperated from the hoof wall. Hence a kind owner should let healing take place---don't ride for month! Yes. Then stay on a constant farrier schedule. Horses & kids aren't cheap. That's a good little chestnut you've got there.---Oh yes, never wear sunglasses. A horse is reading your eyes. Your head down is a good point. !!! on the lunge line just look at his hip. a look at the eye is one of the predator.(There have been times when I was hungry enough to eat a horse. Yourself?)

My mare does all these ground work amazing, but she tends to bite and nip at me constantly. I move her feet when she does or rub her muzzle until she stops but she still continues to do it. It’s not like she’s wanting to kill me but it makes me uneasy when she does. How do I get this to stop, she’s a three year old mare turning four next month. Teeth were done, chiropractor is done. Healthy mare. ❤

Lance thank you very much for your question. Without seeing a video of the behavior it's very hard to tell you exactly what to do. Is she biting at you with ears full back against her neck, is she biting at you with her ears forward? Do you have snacks or something else in your pocket that she might want? If you feed them lots of snacks without requiring them to do something for the snack this behavior is pretty prevalent. It's also common for younger horses, that are trying to establish their place in the herd. That means that the nipping and biting might be a respect issue. The best thing you can do is to continue on with more and more groundwork and every time she does a nip or a bite back her up and clear her out of your space. And you have to address the problem immediately. You have basically three seconds to react and back her up or yield the hindquarters. With younger horses sometimes it may take a little time to get this taken care of. Please check out my other videos on training for respect and control to help you out. kzread.info/head/PL1JF_PZLhWBiS44qsw4EKbqcwphyrO1lU&si=w1hSvv3wG_Hwg46W

@@lonestarwoman First and foremost thank you for the quick response. My mare will do it in a more aggressive behavior, she definitely pins her ears back and then tries to bite at times she gets me but it hasn’t been to a point where blood is drawn and I hope we don’t get to that place. When saddling and doing everything else, she’s a gem. She only does this when haltering at times or when lunging. I don’t give her snacks or treats when awarding her when she doesn’t something right or wrong. The snacks only come out once in a blue moon. Like twice a month so I don’t think the treats is an issue, but I do thank you and will be consistent, assertive and calm. She is a good mare, but just tends to bite. Three seconds! I’ll remember that, and I’ll be sure to check out your other videos! Thank you so much!

It sounds like she might be having a respect issue and she might be uncomfortable with things touching her tummy. One thing that I truly found to be amazing with horses that had behavior problems like this, is to also balance out their gut health. Check out GutX as a supplement. It does work wonders.100xequine.com/pages/gut2 In combination with training:) Give us an update

@@lonestarwoman It's awesome that you mentioned the gut area. My mare use to have a bad case of diarrhea for a few months, so I took her to the vet where she had a fecal culture done. For the mean time she got psyllium and some pro/pre biotics, and we ended up putting a water filter on her hose and I kid you not her running stools completely vanished in weeks. Also dewormed her with an ingredient that had praziquantel which was recommended by the vet. She does get GutX and I kid you not it's a life changing for my mare and she'll never be without it. I think she's just being bratty and is a sassy teenager, but I will continue to work with her and I'll give you an update. Thank you so much about caring about your work, and responding! It means the world to me that someone out there cares enough about other people's horses! Much love and respect!

Hi,...just an observation, has your horse been tested for Cushing's disease? His coat looks like he has changes that could mean Cushing's disease. Also, his halter looks way too small, very tight looking in the throat latch area, as well as the noseband area. Did you ever consider using low glycemic treats as a reward, (positive reinforcement) when your horse does what you ask? Your horse would be happier if you did, and be a more willing partner.

Ranger is a genetic American Curly horse he does not have Cushing's. Curly horses have a wide variety of coat types, but all are hypoallergenic. Respect doesn't come from treats. You don't always have a treat on you, and a demanding horse that wants a treat is even more pushy. Treats work for some horses, but others have the opposite effect and they get even more into the handler's space. I prefer to give a treat at an end of a session or use treats for motivation in treat stretching.

@@lonestarwoman ...well you do say that he's a curly first thing in the video. I have never met a curly, and don't know much about them. I am sorry for jumping to conclusions. I am always on the lookout for horses with Cushing's symptoms, because my Arabian has Cushings... I am a generous treat giver with my horses,and I love giving them. I like the willing responses that I get from them. Sometimes, they will ask for treats, but in a polite way (with a certain look, or will offer a movement, like Spanish walk). But, I guess things could get out of hand with more pushy types of horses.
