I am a veterinarian. This gelding appears significantly ataxic (neurological…a “Wobbler”.) I would recommend a neurological exam, and if indicated, cervical radiographs and/myelogram to determine where the compression is occurring in his spine. The fact that you are a very balanced rider and know when to release is the reason you can ride him without him falling. You are basically helping him understand where his feet are in space (like a guide dog leading a blind person) because the horse likely is physically incapable of doing it on his own. It would be interesting to see if this horse could walk without “floating” in the front legs if you lifted his head high while walking him (in hand) up and down an incline…. this is part of a neurological exam. Additionally it would be interesting to observe him walking in a straight line with a “tail pull” exam. I would anticipate that this would exacerbate his hind end weakness. I had a horse that I broke (and rode him for a little over 20 years) with very similar issues (falling and “wonkie” in the hind end), however my gelding was much more subtly ataxic than the horse displayed in this video.

Thank you for this detailed explanation.

I know the horse has been tested for physical problems but due to past experience with a warm blood having similar symptoms several vets found nothing wrong and 6 months later the horse was down in his stall totally paralyzed in the back end. Had to be put down. Not blaming the vets, they can’t always diagnose everything. Hope he gets better.

Kay Shiverick So sorry for your loss.

Totally agree with the needing good foundations.👌🏻 My Dutch warmblood I bought as an 8 year old and he’d done nothing but showjumping internationally, but he’d gotten to the point where the jumps were just getting too huge for him and he was such a sensitive horse that when he started rolling a pole or knocking his legs over jumps he just had a total panic and was petrified. So they sold him to a dealer that shipped him and a few others here to the UK where I worked for a lady that would buy them and sell on to amateur professional riders. I have a dressage background and didn’t even plan on buying him as I wasn’t interested in a jumper, but he just caught my eye as soon as he came off the wagon, and once I saw him move in the field I Immediately fell in love and saw his potential as a dressage horse. When the time came to ride him I was so shocked how he went from this big athletic uphill horse when loose in the paddock, to a small backwards feeling pony that was sooo unbalanced and stiff and awkward. Kinda like his way of going was just very fake, and as long as it looked good to people watching then all was fine. I ended up buying him and I went right back to the basics with him and building a foundation based on balance, suppleness, and basically letting him just be a horse for a little while with no crazy bits or tight contact on the reins, no Spurs or collected canters and just let him find his feet and learn to open up, balance himself and build correct muscle tone. His transformation was insane from a tightly wound sensitive panic stricken showjumper, to a gorgeous supple, relaxed, happy and balanced champion dressage horse. He was and always will be the love of my life, and my horse of a lifetime💗

He had some kind of neurological event one night and when I got to the yard he was laid down and couldn’t get up. The vet came and said something neurological had happened and was preventing him from using his back legs and that he’d probably never get back up again, and the best thing was to put him to sleep. I’ve never felt pain like it loosing him that day. I still have my little dressage pony that I got when I was only 11 years old and she celebrated her 37th birthday in April. She’s just as sassy as the day I got her but she’s happily enjoying life as an antique lawn mower now 😂 I know the dreaded day will come for us to say goodbye to her and honestly I feel like I’ve been holding my breath since she turned 30 and waiting for the god awful day I go to the yard and she’s passed on or that we have to put her to sleep, but these are the things we have to do in return for being lucky enough to have this bond with a horse.

When I first got my mare she was unsure about putting one foot in front of the other. She lacked muscle and was anxious and depressed. Her chest was concave so she walked like an old lady. She was a bit lame behind and bunny hopped in canter on the left rein. Her worry cup filled rapidly and she'd suddenly look terrified and buck you off. It's taken me 4 years to make a radical improvement and I still have a way to go. Never underestimate the impact bad handling can have on a horse and how it can manifest in many different ways. In cases like this you have to learn to be a psychologist, physiotherapist/osteopath and spiritualist. Patience, mindfulness and humility is required. A knowledge of yoga, pilates and Tai Chi helps and a belief in God is essential. Vets of course have their place but sometimes drugs and surgery are not the answer. I wonder how many horses are put down because they are simply emotional and physical wrecks whose confidence has been destroyed by insensitive hands. Helping horses like this is very hard work but a deeply rewarding labour of love. I thank God every day for giving me my horse. If I listen He has all the answers and gives me the strength to help her on the path to wellness, wholeness and peace.

When I first started riding my Standard bred he was very weak in the hind end. Possibly from his racing days pulling a cart.And very stiff in the lumbar region. He also tripped on the odd occasion doing circles. I think this horse would really benefit from hill work and long trail rides. Circle work is really really hard for many horses. This boy looks really uncomfortable. I found working my boy on the lunge with the pasoa really helped him engage his body and find his balance without a rider on board. Good luck. If only they could talk!

I have a gelding who showed exactly the same problem. This doing an S form is a sign that he is trying to keep his balance. This stems from week hindlegs. Have you seen how he stands with the hindlegs out from the spot of balance? As he is asked to do small circles in the trot you can see a slight lameness. When getting tired the week hindleg will buckle. This happened to my gelding in the exact way as you see in this video. Now, two years later I got it fixed this way: groundwork after the academic art of riding school. The horse is led from the front on a cavesson (works like a bosal but has rings at the same spot as the knots of a knothalter to put a rope or reign to it). First of all the horse learns to yield his head down and to the side. If all is well with its spine and musles you can see that the inner hip rotates forward with the headyield. Now you can ask for this in motion at a walk. The horseman/woman is going backwards asking the horse to yield. You go backward in order to see what the head, spine and hip is doing. With a stick you can combine headyield and legcue by touching the spot you would touch with your leg. To strengthen the hindlegs you begin to ask for sidepass - travers, renvers and shoulder in. Additionally you can teach your horse to rock backwards in order to give more responsibility to the hindlegs. All these things help the horse to find his balance. Now I am doing this for 10 minutes before riding. The horse has warmed up and I can see if there are any issues before riding. After I got on board I begin riding by asking for a shoulder in for the start. This way the horse will use the hindlegs to keep balance. All this helped my gelding so much that the falling problem has vanished. But I have to keep up the groundwork to keep it this way. I hope this will help other people facing this problem. On youtube there a videos on the academic art of riding so you can get an idea how the groundwork looks like.

You are an amazing trainer Mr. Rose. Thank you for sharing you’re knowledge with all of us.

I would not feel comfortable riding this horse. Maybe he needs a better farrier but his toe first landing with every step makes me nervous. He essentially shuffles his feet

Warmbloods seem so easy when they are first broke and then when they realize it's work , sometimes that's when it gets hard but also their easy at the beginning has us asking more than they are ready physically to do and problems start

And so he's walking relaxed with his big stride. Yet the Mustang looks like she is floating over the most rugged terrain in almost silence.

I do appreciate the horse is doing better with Mr Rose and his good training! Strengthening through good training and PT will of course help any physical problem. However in my professional opinion this horse definitely has a physical problem. It can be seen at every gait that it is not normal, including standstill. I know he has been checked but even good vets can miss things. Has he been to a hospital for a work up? I too have seen cases MUCH milder than this horse, be diagnosed through spinal tap with unfortunately sad results. There are also rarer things such as pinched nerves, old breaks, chips, etc which can only be found with extensive work ups unfortunately. (Or possibly a chiropractor...i wont exclude that as si problems are far more common than we used to believe) Ive seen and heard so many unbelievable things in my career its too much to list here.

Really enjoyed this video.

Have to say his hind action is very similar to my 15 year old mare who fractured her pelvis Nov 2019, started working her in new year with ground work, been sat on her for last couple months, has had few sessions with physio, needs lot slow hill work to build up hind end, wonder if he had any injury in the hind end

Very good video. I also believe foundation is so important to a well-trained horse. They are not task-oriented as we are. They think in the moment. I have a tip with the microphone cutting out. This used to happen with some of my videos, so I bought a hand-held recorder with a port for a microphone and would use that instead of the microphone and make sure I talked near the camera a few times so the video and audio could be sync'd up post-production in my video software. It works and is a lot cheaper than buying a super long distance blue-tooth microphone. Here's a short example. Video Excerpt: Half-circle, half turn-on-the-forehand to half pass - KZread

You gotta remember he moves certain ways for a reason. And it's not like he wants to, but he feels like he needs to for whatever reason. He might need to do that to stay balanced or relieve pain. A really cool way to convince the nervous-system another way of moving is possible is by setting up situations and challanges where he naturally takes that new position. Like hind end engagement when going up and down hills. You're not asking him to, but he just naturally does it because he has to to succesfully get up and down the hill. Or something like navigating different obstacles for body awareness. No wonder he gets emotional when you try to influnce the way he moves and carries himself. In his mind you're pulling him off balance and asking him to do things he doesn't understand or believes he can't do. (Also, you can see that when he speeds up (or gets impulsive like you said) it is to catch his balance.) A reason he could be so dominant towards other horses is because he feels insecure in his own body, not balanced and not grounded (or in pain) . I very much agree with making sure the horse does not rely on you for balance. But then you should set them up for succes also. If the horse can't stay balanced on his own with a rider (weight) on his back, practice on the ground untill he can. I he can't stay balanced on his own at the trot, pranctice at the walk untill he can. If the horse gets emotional and/or stumbles and falls, you're asking too much too soon.

Many western saddles weigh 1/2 of a jockey!

Theres a nerve that runs across the girth area on side of belly. If the girth is pressing to tightly on the nerve...horse will fall or refuse to move.

I see this was posted quite a while ago. Has there been any follow up on neuro issues with this horse (with a specialist). It is so obvious that he moves in a stiff way in his back end. It would be nice to know if the work you did was able to fix the issues or if he was eventually diagnosed with a neurological problem. Thanks for keeping free videos up.

He seems to drag his right rear leg and wants to trot like a trotter or Tennessee Walker.

that horse has a physical defect in his hind or his hocks its more noticable on the offside .

The body positioning that he gets into. I have a horse who did weird things to her neck etc. I have a horse trainer /instructor who also does simple body work. She will address the neck issues and other places and the lesson for horse and rider will go much better. Just a thought.

Worked a couple warmbloods... hind ends not quite connected and could falter and weak like his.... they were wobblers, need to blindfold test them.

Typically I don’t comment on this sort of stuff…the online experts are loud enough as it is ha. But I can’t help being concerned by the similarities of this WB and my horse that sadly had to be euthanised . Great temperament, but very green. We kept hitting walls in his training. Initially it was subtle, sloppy around corners, little stumble here are there. I thought perhaps it was my lack of experience so I sent him off to a trainer. 3 wks later we agreed something wasn’t right, but couldn’t put our finger on it. It really did feel like he was trying his hardest. It took several trips to the vet, 3 lots of X-rays & a spinal specialist to get an answer(ish). Compression in c2/3 A step down in the C6&c7 vertebrae in the neck. A non definitive diagnosis of wobblers (a conclusive diagnosis would’ve required myelogram with dynamic radiographs a Cervical Vertebral Stenotic Myelopathy). But the uncoordinated hind end was identical to this WB. And that stabbing in his gait may be indicative of a him not knowing where his legs are and what his body is doing. I’m sure they’ve looked into it. But wobblers is a dynamic disease and the presentation can vary wildly depending on the day. He passed a lameness check one day and then completely bombed a neurological exam on the next. Anyway, it was superbly ridden ❤ just wanted to share my experience as it was a very expensive road of instructors and trainers that probably could’ve been avoided.

This colt appears to be short stepping in the rear. He just doesn't seem to have the strength to get his right leg all the way up underneath him, as I saw him stumble.

Sooo, he’s not following his head. All twisted and you don’t believe it’s physical? What did he do in his prior life? You’re doing great..but I wish you’d let him build his hind quarters. I don’t see a lot of muscle. Could be the camera.

My horse did that when she was upset some times. Like her back legs would lock up. Scary. 6:26

He looks like he might have some kind of nerve damage or disability in his off-hind. Especially when he's being turned to the right. He possibly does not have full power in that hip or leg because he can't get it. It would explain the falling and tripping. Could be a nerve problem in the back, hip or stifle. Could be temporary (nerves take a year to heal from damage) or permanent. Poor boy. Just had another look - he has problems with both his hindlegs, hindend basically. Get a good vet. And check for a brain tumour or epilepsy too. Otherwise your training is for nought.

Has this beautiful horse been checked out for “clumsy syndrome” ? It’s difficult to diagnose and could be the cause of weakness and falling.

Has this horse been tested for epm? That hind end giving out & falling down to me just seems way odd. Also wanting to counterbend to that extreme could also be neck issues(wobblers)… seems to have some sorta neuro issues.

I’m thinking a good vet check might be in order, because no matter what he shouldn’t be losing his hindquarters like that.

Hey Ryan👋🏼 Do you & Emily ever make it to the west coast? Or how far west do you make it for clinics? Are you currently do any?

@@ryanrosehorsemanship Dang! I would definitely try to make it next time you are in Auburn. Is it usually a weekend type clinic?

do you have any tips for communicating with a horse?

Are you engaging his hindquarters/one rein stop? Or just picking up inside rein and inside leg and bringing him down that way?

That is not a reining issue

Where is part one?? 😊

You should get a Horse Cyropractor. Maybe that'll help a little bit

His right hind leg looks stiff when it's in motion. Almost like dragging it, not stepping .

I can almost promise you he has EPM just by knowing his symptoms

@@leese7420 EPM is a neurological disease from parasites that are found in possum poop. If the horse ingests it, the parasite can eat at their nervous system causing all the symptoms described into this video and more.

I'd say your right on! I spotted a neurological problem just from his way of movement. Very likely you've hit the nail on the head in my view!

I do understand Mr Rose's approach though. First you've got to rule out regular causes for the weak hind end and imbalance from other sources. It's a difficult thing to diagnose.

His hind quarters seem like it is not strong. His lower legs also kinda twist with his steps. Slow is better for him to build stregnth, balance, limberness. He kinda pulls his back side in. Pinched nerve or ligaments. Back hips buckled. Problably not supposed to canter him.

His back L leg is crossing over his right when he trots, and something strange in his L front leg too-what do you think causing that?

Im struggling to find the first video

Any possibility of this being due to neurological issues, maybe a pinched nerve?

Hola guapo 🇪🇦👍👍🇪🇦💋

Have the horse evaluated by a vet. Possibly EPM

Yes exactly what I was thinking. My horse was just diagnosed and the signs were very subtle. I thought she had some lameness and her gait or the way she carried herself was off. It was hard to tell if she was sore or just being a baby, was not expecting epm. It so crazy how many signs are epm, but are so easily mistaken for something else.

Turn subtitles please

Left rear leg

A good 'Chiropractic Vet' could give this horse a fair amount of help!

Well is this horse going along great or cripple or dead? Show me he is better and ill give you a c note

He needs a chiro. His hind end is very weak. You can tell he's been pushed and held together so he has no idea how to hold himself together especially under a rider😊

This says it is part 1 isnt it?

seems like his left back leg has a bit of a issue,
