  Not sure he really spooked at a little before the 18 minute mark. He could have as the dog entered his field of view but, to me, he just looked a little fresh and had a burst of energy. He arched his neck and kinda jumped instead of tucking his tail and fleeing. Just my opinion but either way you handled it well by getting him calmed down then proceeding. He's a very nice young horse and I'm impressed the way you are starting him easy, keeping it fun, and letting him grow. Hell remember these lessons when you begin working him again.

  Looking back the dog kinda jumped just before Hugo did. My guess is, they are playmates when he's loose in the pasture or paddock.

  just a tip here, the liverpool without a curb chain is no different than the snaffle you were using before. The liverpool is a curb bit and the leverage comes from the curb chain. Hildy looks like she got more standardbred than draft. Could be why she is so quick to go. I've had two runaways. Never get out of the cart. Never bail out.

• 
  @ruggedridgeforest7775Ай бұрын

  I have heard that about the chain and I believe you are right. Although the liverpool w/out the chain does offer additional leverage. Its also a straight bit which alone is more severe than a snaffle. That said, the curb chain would add. As far as staying with the run away... there comes a moment when a collision is inevitable and youve done all you can. Many have died in such circumstances. Risking being crushed by a spreader or slammed in between the horses and the cart were not worth being apart of when I had offered all the input I could and the outcome was inevitable

  Bro this is some rugged shit right here. I've been trying to document our sugaring up here in the Adirondacks because it's such an amazing process. I love seeing the horses involved, we used to haul our sap with horses pre-1970s but have used a dozer since. It would be cool to try to revive that method since we still have horses, but we'll see. Thanks for the inspiring video.

  My brother in law had a big cart he did rides with his shires did the same and he was thrown .. I found him in barn unable to get out of chair. Being a paramedic ,I found he had rib fractures due to the height of fall he also was a big guy. Been around the horses for 27 yrs ! They do spook or get upset . . Just make the trust thing work the drafts are incredible. We also had Percheron . Glad to see all is good. Vet bills are💰. Just cost us 20k+ only to loose our oldest AQH .

  No matter what the bit is, if your horse is scared enough, they will continue to bolt, even if that means ripping their mouth up really bad. Keep working on having gentle hands, keep working on your relationship with your horses. Sometimes stuff just happens.

  looks like you just have a simple snaffle on each horse, also they are stepping out pretty lively, I would not allow that, they need to be consistent and not managed at whatever gait they choose. You might try an over check or side checks to give you better stopping power. They could easily pull you and that cart and a full load of manure on their mouths, no effort. That manure cart is small enough you could use them single on it and work each one individually. Also, with that simple snaffle a straight pull has zero effect if they are bolting. your only hope was to see saw that bit back and forth and really hard jerks to get their attention and refocus on you.

  Just found your channel. I really like your content! This was an educational video. Appreciate you sharing these unpleasant experiences. Most content out there focuses on aesthetics and unrealistic horse perfectionism and how perfect they are together. I think most people panic and do more harm than good to/for their horse in an emergency situation. We need realistic content like this! These scenarios are very important lessons. That’s just my opinion though.😁 Your calmness and overall handling of this situation was spectacular and again, educational. Cheers

  why do people always put the taller horse from the right? Is he also a stronger horse and leading horse from the right side?? What is your idea about this? Thanks.

• 
  @ruggedridgeforest77754 ай бұрын

  Good question, i heard since the roads are crowned to shed water, you put your taller horse on the outside of the road (in the US, to the right). This means the horses are closer in height when the horse toward the median of the road is a couple inches higher than the one on the outside. Hope that makes sense

• 
  @Alex-horsman4 ай бұрын

  @ruggedridgeforest7775 I also was thinking that way, but from another point: if we put higher horse to the left on the road, it will hide more traffic going from opposite side of the road... :). Another idea: when we plow, also higher horse it is better to put to the right, because he is going down in the row, which plow make, so this horse going in the row already some 8 inches lower in the hole... besides that in the row it is harder to go, than on top of the ground, so the horse from the right must be not only taller, but also the stronger one and the faster one... It means, that if we have almost equal horses in height and even the one, which is smaller a little, but faster and stronger, while plowing it is better to put him to the right :), but on the road, of course, to the left, in order not to cover the opposite traffic 😉. Thanks for your work!!!

  During my life from the very childhood, I had also few life dangers accidents with the horses. But still I have horses and continuously once a year or two have some accidents. My grandfather had two horses, the mare and the gelding, the mare was crazy one. Once , when I was 8 y.o., I was left by my grandfather on a carriage alone with my older friend, he was 10 and we started to clean the carpet shaking it in our hands, the friend was stronger, so he waived harder and I fall from a carriage under the mare. She freezed and did not move at all until my friend went for my grandfather and bring him back to save me, horses understood, that it was a child under and no one move a step until my grandfather gave me a hand...
