The Horse That Attacks You - TRT Rescue S01E01

In this first episode, we meet a very talented horse that had found out how to scare people on the ground. The horse is attacking people and it is starting to get really dangerous.
Olympic dressage rider Antonia Ramel, has tried all kinds of things to change her horse's behavior. This is not her first challenge when it comes to dealing with horses with behavioral problems, but this horse is a special case.
During this first episode of TRT Rescue, Tristan takes on the challenge of getting Antonia and her horse back on the right path together.
The full training video will be in the TRT Online Platform!

    Whaaaaat? The only blamed here is the horse! It seems that the horse has no control over his own body for what he said! This horse needs just being in a pasture with other horses to release some energy! No science fiction here, just treat the horse like a horse and don't keep it in a stall the majority of the time!

    Does this horse have access to turnout? I don't mean this in a rude way but I wonder if a lot of this tension and energy would be resolved if he was turned out in a field with other horses.

    I am also afraid this horse doesn't get out too often. But we can't know as I also own a (young) horse that shows the same behaviour and he is hardly locked in the stable but most of the time living in an open stable with connection to a field and with other horses. And still everything he does is with very high energy, even tho he runs around like crazy in the field everyday. I think some horses just have this kind of energy and it is important to get it into the right direction

    I think it’s the intelligence of the animal as opposed to turn out, my mare is in a herd and has 24 hour turnout and it makes no difference, it’s the breeding and competitive breeding but they can be helped. If you’ve never had one it’s difficult to understand

    It breaks my heart that this horse's people trapped him and misread him so much and so often in his management and work that he got so alienated from his own body. Horses don't start out this way, and I think it takes a lot of mistreatment (however unintended or accidental) to make a horse so frustrated. That "brake and gas on at the same time" and "always looking to come forward" are elements of lots of schools of dressage training. The degree of precision and acceptance of micromanaging of the body that's endemic to modern dressage is asking a lot of a pacific, kind flight animal. The horse lives in an environment that doesn't appear to afford him much choice or release. If you watch his walk change when he steps over the threshold from the aisle way to the arena, you can see that he gets "up" and on edge. Very nice work, but I wish the rhetoric weren't so much about getting the horse to take responsibility for himself. That's fine but what happens when his training continues as it is and, under saddle, he is continually asked to turn over his body to an extreme degree to a controlling rider? If that continues, didn't the handler just lie to the horse about how much autonomy he'd have? I think the whole way of riding and training this horse would have to change as well so as to not rob him of the sense that he can find a way to find comfort and release.

    You are so right,,horses don't start out this way ,, but when you have them boosted up by the Modern FEEDING routine,,they soon become unable to deal with confinment,,or pretty much anything .and yes I do have the 60plus years of breeding training etc;experience . Dressage is not the pinicale of expert training it once was ,, especially as the international standards for collected movement are ignored,, where the front line of the horses head is vertical,should only happen in airs above the ground ( and piaffe ) yet they are all overbent and contricted,,,,Also the break downs that happen in public ,reveal to anyone with experience ,the story behind in the training.All the money and glamour modern dressage is full of, is not enough to hide anything from people who know better. The trainers are just as bad ,because they want their job,,there are also huge insurance scams going on ,so yes dressage needs to take a long look at its self , because others are🤔🙏🐎

    I now own a perfect example of this horse. Bred and sold for $200,000 as a yearling to race. Didn’t work out, long story short TB’s are bred adrenaline junkies, high energy workaholics, that need a job or an outlet. I end up getting a call, to take on a 7 yr old, I’m the 5thish owner, the mother calls me begging as she’s concerned he’s going to kill her daughter, he’s already put her in the hospital. They keep him in a stall 23 hours a day, he’s destroyed round pens, injured other horses (OTTB on a Warmblood/dressage boarding/training facility). They only handle him with a chain, he attacks from behind, charges, strikes, bites and it’s me or an auction. First thing I did was bring him home and turn him out in a 1 acre private paddock for 3 months where it was just him, me, my husband, his dinner routine in his outdoor paddock, daily brushing and his hay. But other than that, we just let him be a horse. Then we introduced him into our mixed herd (geldings and mares, he’s a gelding, we don’t do stallions). His private paddock was beside the main pasture where he could see and visit with the other horses, just separated by a double fence line and isle. So the knew each other existed. He challenged my one big warmblood mare day 3, (he’s a solid 16.3, she’s a stunning 17 hand of a fiery red lol) she dropped him like a hot potato with one hoof to the chest when he tried to take a bite out of her behind. The only thing injured on him was his pride, he’s been in love with her ever since, and went into training the following month. He’s now my husbands personal horse as he’s always had a special place for the high strung, super sensitive TB’s and his other similar TB is now 25 and also a former rescue. While J isn’t perfect and has his days, hubby gets him, and let’s him have them. But he’s a strong rider and just laughs them off lol, but he also doesn’t try to make him a show pony, something his last owners did, and J doesn’t have the mindset for it. But neither does hubby. You have to sometimes let the horse tell you who they are, and actually freaking listen. Sigh…..

    Oh my gosh, that’s hysterical and so true! 😂 I was from the city side of my family, so I had the hunter ponies, my cousins had working horses that showed sometimes. Strictly speaking about cattle, which I know are in no way the same… Way back when, if people had show cattle that wouldn’t lead, they would tie it to a mule and by golly, at some point they figured it out. If you’re told to follow me, you’re better off following me. People would pay good money to rent a good mule! 😂 I’ve also heard of tying one to a tractor to teach it to lead. That may sound horrible, but tractors can go much slower than you think, aren’t going to lose the battle of strength and can take a head butt. Still, it was a last resort. All those stories certainly made me appreciate my pony more! 🫣😁

    We had a colt that was barn named Randy. Because he was. He thot he was the isht, harassed all the mares, even before he was weaned, and was too sassy to respond to my mom when ground training happened. Wouldn’t come when called. Wouldn’t pay attention on a lead. Screamed at the mares like a stallion. And his balls still hadn’t dropped. Just a rude fellow. (Additional points of info, he was extremely well bred and a fantastic stud prospect. Otherwise he would have gotten a quick attitude changing operation. We stood 2 senior stallions and had 3 junior stallions, so Randy was for sale. But regardless of future life/job, every horse was expected to be mannerly.) So when he was about 14 months old, and she was done with his shenanigans Mom took the very pregnant and cranky boss mare from each herd, (3) put them in a quarter acre paddock, and before they started sorting out who would be boss mare of the boss mares, she tossed Randy in. Stepped outside and stood and watched, rope and halter over her shoulder. Oh Man! Randy was In Heaven! 3 beautiful ladies! He screamed his sexay stallion calls of love, and proceeded to prance towards their kerfuffle, oblivious to the fact that there was Important Mare Business being discussed. Maybe he thought the squeals of anger were squeals of love for him. He was so slow between his ears because he just knew every mare would feel blessed by him that he didn’t notice that at his first bellow three heads whipped around to him, 6 ears went back flat against necks, six nostrils flared, and 6 eyeballs became laser focused on him. It’s amazing how fast pregnant mares can reverse direction and charge with out becoming over balanced. Randy was a third of the way across the paddock when he realized he might have misjudged the situation… To his credit, he whirled and ran. Too late. They were on him in a flash. Upon arrival they spun around again, and proceeded to unloose both barrels, consecutively. BLAM BLAM BLAM! BLAM BLAM BLAM! And not just coordinated, but all while running backwards as he fled. Into a corner. Mom starts calling him. “Randy, want out? C’mere Randy…” Apparently not, as he squirted out from under the barrage and headed away from her. He kept circling and moving, avoiding angry mares, so he thought he was fine. Then came feeding time. He arrogantly headed to his trough, only to be beat up again and his feed eaten by 3 squabbling pregnant ladies. They also ran him away from the water until they were absolutely positive they were done. Same for hay. And every time he got near a corner, the ladies did their best to pummel him. They had become bonded through their mutual need to teach the creep a lesson. Several times a day Mom stood just inside the gate and called him. Only to be ignored. Hope lived on somewhere inside Randy that they did want his attentions. It took three days for him to figure out that, no, they did not, rude kid. On the third day, round noon, Mom found him standing by the gate, waiting for her (and dodging the occasional flying hoof if he didn’t move off fast enough.) She asked, “Randy, are you ready to come out now?” And yes! Yes he was! And can you take me out now? Please? I will behave I promise! And he did. (Incase anyone is worried, Mom obvs made sure he was as safe as possible. No one had shoes, most corners were rounded, he had places he could escape to if he wanted, etc.)

    This horse totally reminds me of a Sir Donnerhall gelding I had. Because of him I completely changed the way my dressagehorses live. I gave them access to a really large paddock all day. And the special boy could go out 24/7. And indeed he didn't use his box really much anymore. That was a gamechanger and he became like a dog on the ground. And much more supple and motivated during training.

    I had BaBy, trained to lead, to tie up, wear a harness, a saddle, a rug, load on a trailer,walk along roads in hand, swim in the river etc etc by the time she was a year old. Spend fifteen minutes per day per youngster, you never need to break them. When BaBy was living in a stable with his dam, in a freezing winter, we all went out to the loose school, with my other boy, and had an hour at walk, trot, canter, and small jumps, we all had great fun, and they all knew the basic verbal commands. They the had a few hours outside to relax, with some hay, so even though it was not possible to walk on icy roads they were fine.

    Fabulous results. As a person that likes a horse to be a horse I find it hard to comprehend how a horse in a stable segregated and confined for hour upon mindless hour could not react in the way he does. There is even no scenery to stimulate his mind. Horses in stables build up pent up energy, behavioural issues, aggression, stall guarding, repetitive behaviours, etc. Many of these horses come from dressage homes with riders that cannot let go of the reins to let the horse relax outside of practice. Change routine from stable to lunge then arena repeat and horses become sour. Mind, body and souls like ourselves need to be looked at to create a happy healthy horse.

    It's very important to remember that a horse expects/ needs partnership and is a pet first. There should be consistent time with owner/ rider that doesn't include work. You'd be surprised at the changes in relationship that occur with the addition of 30 min to an hour of "play" time in their daily routine. Literally go sit in the middle of a pasture where he's free to roam and remove your attention from him until he begins to seek yours. FYI anxiety displayed in animals is a result of the humans anxious behavior.

Some, like this gorgeous animal, cannot deal with the constant containment, control and pressure. In addition to teaching this horse a better way to "be" in hand, letting some of these horses "be" horses in life, has yielded tremendous results with some.

    I think this goes well beyond groundwork. My stallion can yield any part of his body like a snake, is super responsive to all cues and even when highly excited a simple gesture will send him steadily trotting arond me instead of fighting, but although all that makes him safe to lead in any situation, it does not make him feel as good about himself as this horse shows in the end of the session. I have only done some preliminary TRT work with my stud and already I see a huge difference in crossing spooky stuff: he willingly lowers his own neck and tries to relax himself without any help from me! He also tries to get his head low when too excited about a mare scent. He still rears more than I wish he did, but its a slow motion lower energy stunt now... getting them self aware is a miracle worker.

With the right kind of training this type of horse will be limitless, but if you go just a tiny bit wrong handling him he might turn up "uncontrollable". It´s in fact somewhat simple- reading the horse and working with and not against him- but it requires a lot of mental awareness and ability to focus which are things people are often lacking. Lucky for this horse that he has such a good and insightful owner that is asking for help, many should do the same!

    Marvellous work Tristan. Watching this horse reminded me of Renee's buckskin Stormy who you gave dressage lessons to years back. Stormy behaved exactly like this horse and it was super frustrating. I wish we knew your training methods all those years ago. Would have made for a happier horse and rider. Keep up the fantastic work. I'm really enjoying your KZread videos.

    Hi Tristan, this was really illuminating. Making him aware of his own body and giving him responsability. My TB mare broncs and pigroots with head between front legs on both the lunge and when I ride her at the beginning. I will try this with her.

    You are unlike any other trainer I have seen online! It’s all body language, which IS the language of horses... There is some pressure and release, but it’s directive and communicative pressure, not aversive. I am very attracted to your patient, analytical approach. Fascinating. I can’t follow it entirely because it is so new to me. I am going to have to rewatch these videos multiple times to soak this in. Normally anyone who isn’t using a lot of pressure and release is annoying, and has a lot of pseudo spiritual rhetoric that drives me crazy, or they have videos that are loooong. I think this might be what I am missing, for when positive reinforcement methods fail. My current favorite trainers are Shawna Karrasch, and Ryan Rose.

    Thank you for this video, we have a horse who has a very similar personality to this horse. Our horse lives outside 24/7 & he is much happier than being in a stable. We’ve used similar methods & our fellow has come along way. Our horse has never been abused & he is highly intelligent & talented; he was simply learned to communicate with people by using his body in a way that was problematic for us but it worked for him.
