I re-trained a similar horse in Ireland. He came back from a fair covered in welts and cuts. Every time someone had tried him he'd freak out and do anything to dump the rider, ended up being beaten for it. A friend bought him to save him from slaughter. I retrained him for her, took me about two months of spending roughly 4 hours a day with him and he was sold to a boy who'd been riding for 6month and they went to Grade A together :)
You just need to find the right way with your boy! Good Luck!
ok at first i was like how flippen annoyin could u get! but as soon as i read the description i took back my words, keep it up, don't give up and as they say! *those who hurry are first to fall* as in like, try not to give up or rush your pony into what he isn't ready for! and congrats, good luck and u WILL get there, keep thinking every time your with ur pony, say we will get there! and try to brush and spend more time with him on the ground! xx :D :P :)
Gorgeous boy! Try having a look at Endospink's videos. He starts racehorses. Some of them are problem horses that are on the way to ending up as sushi. He has an interesting technique that he uses and it gets results. If you sent him a message, he might have some advice that could help.
This rider is fantastic. It takes guts of steel to get on a horse that you know is going to blow up like that. I give you a lot of credit for working with him. Most owners would have sent him to the meat man. That is one lucky horse to have such patient owners.
My only comment is that perhaps having an assistant holding him would help... he seems
quite reasonable at the mounting process... only walking with the weight on his back that he is scared of. Have you tried leading him with a bag of oats or something heavy on his back?
Just offering suggestions... it's all in his head as you know. Keep trying, you will get it.
i think you need to get your horses trust as first before riding it ... you can seek for videos of clinton anderson he is some one how teaches ppl natural horse man ship i think they well help you allot ... good luck
Good job trying to stay on!! And I am NOT being critical when I say this but when you stand in one stirrup like you do in the beginning, that's very hard their backs.
That's such a shame about his past. I think he is absolutely stunning and doesn't have a mean bone in him. Ya sure he reared up and all, but he never kicked out at you. I'm glad he found someone like you who seems to have a wonderful passion for these beautiful creatures. Thank you for all your hard work. It has not gone unnoticed :) Also, I just wanted to say: that has got to be the best dismount I have ever seen! I wish mine were just as graceful- haha!
I'm really happy that there is still people who acctually use natural horseman ship without whips I HATE PEOPLE who think that natural horseman ship is about the horse being a worse being and that it should listen to us but it isnt its about being horseman horse and man together thats horseman ship!!!! ;) Your grate and don't give up!
My old mare does this. the minute she takes a step forward goes tense and broncs...she is cold backed. so we lunged her first, leant over her while walking around and she settled and stopped the tensing...
No horse problems only people problems. He looks scared from the start saying he deosn't trust you. Do ground work and gain trust and leadership. Try natural horsemanship. you would learn about horse behavior and how to gain trust.
4) Use a bareback pad and lay across his back and lay on him like a dead man. (like in the westerns. rub his neck and belly and flanks slowly. If he feels and you think he is going to buck just push yourself off. 5) Have another person standing by your horse to calm him and to help you out if you should get in trouble. Look up thephbalance on you tube and watch the videos called Colt Starting. I wish you well and hope for your success. your horse is a beauty
The first that I see wrong is how tense your horse is. His body language shows how he is ready to explode. So here are a few helpful hints. 1) Work with him on collecting himself on the front legs. Square him up to where his front legs are set for better balance. 2) His head is way to high, he is anticipating something bad happening. 3) don't pat him on the neck tho you mean well it is only adding to his anxiety. Instead slowly rub his neck til he loosens up.
Why do you send the horse to people, that work with him? Do you go there, too, and look what they do? The Natural Horsemanship person should come to your barn and show YOU how to work with the horse, since you are the one that owns him. The horse has to trust and respect YOU. YOU have to learn how that works.
He is a beautiful horse and I think that clicker training may help him do more of the right thing by rewarding him when he does what is right and he will eventually focus on that.
have you contacted an osteopath? he may be back pain or elsewhere that he would have such a reaction ... you never know ^ ^ ( sorry i've got a bad english )
You're doing fine, it takes great patience with this type of problem. I had a mare years ago who actually ran off with me daily, finally figured out she couldn't take the bit( I tried all types too) started riding her in a bosal/hackamore type thing and she was great as soon as the bit wasn't in her mouth. Rode beautifully in just a halter. Your horse will overcome this thing.
i love that you are petting your horse, i love the positiveness of this video, slowly but surely is what i like to hear, the horse is handsome and i applaud the flying dismount, i need to try that next time my horse decided she has had enough jumping for one day haha, keep up the great work!
I'm impressed he jumped off and landed on his feet! I had a horse with a simillar issue, he was worse in the winter/cold than in warm weather. No amount of longing or "de-sensitizing" changed his issue.
@rosycheeks44 Um,yeah, I had bought the horse after 3 years of studying 'Natural Horsmanship' and having a lot of success bringing along my yearling into a wonderful riding horse, (now my best lesson horse) and having graduated with honors from Meredith Manor (look it up). After 4 mos of ground work and building a relationship, and another 6 mos spending lots of time working on his mounting issues, I had made almost no progress. NOT ALL HORSES CAN BE MADE PERFECT
@rosycheeks44 ...Also, after two years of owning him, we had worked through his problems being caught in the pasture, he would come to me, I got him over his trailer issues, and took him from a burnt out barrel horse, to a nice quite pleasure horse, but he NEVER got over being tense the frist minute or two of every ride, and bucking when it was cold out. Not every issue is a matter of trust.
GAH. Not to long a go some A-hole told me to send my horse to the auction where she'd invariable he sold to slaughter just because she's calf-kneed. O.o I love her and there's no way i'd do that. So, in short, don't listen others, just do what you believe is right.
It always makes me happy when humans do not give up on their horses. I had a bombastic first horse - but really - nothing quite like this, she would just try to get any "new" rider off once or twice. My geldings and mares now, are docile greenies. But I commend you for your paitence. -- Have you ever thought of hoping on and asking him to run - Make it your idea, is what I mean... He may get bored with his little vice when he is asked to do it ? I mean stranger things have happened.
My pony used to buck whenever I asked him to do anything! When he completely ignore the leg, I would wave the whip over his hindquarters, which was enough to make him go ( he's a very proud fella and is easily offended xD) He doesn't buck anymore once he realized I wasn't coming off.The rider also seemed tense too, which is why I suggested getting on & going so he's thinking forward. Also give him his head so he doesn't think he's trapped & rear as an excuse!He can't rear if he's moving forward
Fatnastic landing! lol Ask him to go forward & do what you can to make him go straight. He can throw a fit all he wants as long a he's not spinning! Then don't let him stop until you say so; so keep him trotting either with a squeeze or mild kick (& if you use a whip, a light touch or wave the whip over his hindquarters) until he has a good moment, then ask him to walk. See if feeding him treats from the saddle will help & try to hop on & go straight to work like there's no problem. =)
He is such a beautiful animal! And you are an angel for not putting such a beautiful animal down, you tried and tried! You know his quicks and deal with them great!!!! You have an awesome handle on the horse when hes bucking! Good seat!!
I love it! good job for being so patient with him! I really think he is doing good with yall. just one thing..im not saying this to be rude and im DEFIANTELY not saying you are not doing a good job and its just a tip..but try not to be so sneaky when your on him. when you sneak his thinking side of the brain is turned off and his "reactive" side turns on which makes him want to get you off. anyways...great job!
BUT, this is now ingrained in him. My suggestion: A dummy.
Make a weighted dummy--jeans and sandbags work well for the legs, a large floppy doll works for the torso. Strap the dummy to the saddle so that there is no way it is coming off and turn him lose.
Once he realizes that he is not going to get his "rider" off he will most likely stop.
my horse was abused when getting broken in and hates men, if one comes near him he will play up or run from them but wont hurt them unless its necessary but luckily im a girl :) your horse is beautiful Good luck!
I know this may sound crazy to some people but I had a similar problem with my horse. I had an animal communicator do a reading on my horse and she let me know what he was thinking and helped to calm his fears and noe we have the best relationship. Her website is bfogg.com if you are interested in trying. her name is Bonnie.
@jaserovy This is VERY VERY true! I do it with all my colts. By keeping his head flexed you make them off balanced and extreemly hard to buck, rear, jump.. ect. also by disengaging his hind quarters you make it hard for the horse to do anything "bad." It is a great way to help them relax and builds confidence about moving with someone on thier back. Both of these things will help the horse to become soft and suple while building confidence and trust while paying more attention to you(:
Not sure if this was mentioned. Get the horses head more on the vertical. His head is very high. Watch David1200000 and his youtube video on vertical, Search David Lee Archer
i have an arabian mare that only i can ride. shes thrown my best friend 2 times and almost killed another rider, but when i ride her shes an angel. im the only one whos ridden her in the past 13 years. you keep being the only one riding him and you will develop an emmense bond good luck
@missunpredictable17 I guess westrn is a bit easyer to stay on when the horse bucks if u arent use to or good in an english saddle...I use a westrn saddle most of the time but if im riding english ill change to westrn if he starts acting up. (depending on the day and how bad he's acting.)
You need Parelli Natural Horsemanship :/ I have an abused mare who is EXTREMELY hard to catch and ride and her owners before being rescued owned a riding stable but didn't know how to act around horses. They whipped her face, kicked her, used heavy bits and spurs... I've been using Natural Horsemanship for 5 months and last week I rode her with a Western saddle and a halter and she walked so calmly and sedately for me that I gave a 5 year old a pony ride afterward. Parelli works wonders.
I don't know everything you've done with him in regards to backing him, how I have to agree with beautyfarmtas's comment. But I would just see where starts getting tense (whether its in the areana, saddling, putting foot in stirrup, etc) and wait for him to relax, and immediately back off as an award. Horses learn at a give&release. Eventually he'll figure out that if he relaxes the pressure comes off. Once you can push through that initial point, repeat that each time he tenses up.
Good to know the horse is doing better. :) People don't realize how much time and trust it takes to help a horse get rid of it's fears. Years of neglect and abuse can destroy a horse, with enough love and trust and rigorous training, any horse, no matter how insane, can be turned into a wonderful companion.
I thought I would try giving my adivce. The horse is nervous, tight and anxious. Before riding him, you should maybe work on trust between you and him. He needs to trust you before he is ever ridden, espenically considering his past history with humans in general. Somehow, you have to show him you are trustworthy, work on him trusting you, try doing some bacis ground work and work on you're relationship with him frist, then when your ready to ride, stroke him wait for him to relax.
@PrincessVictoria777 Do you read what you write? You mentioned word "trust" a few times, but I bet you you don't even really know what that means and how to achieve it.
@trumparch Trumparch, if I have this correct, you don't actually own the horse in this video...so why are you coming at me, about something that doesn't even concern you? This comment was meant for the horse and the rider, owner of the horse. They asked for help, and like millions of others, I offered my advice. If you have a problem with my advice/comment, suck it up and move on, quite frankly, it wasn't for you anyway. I don't appreciate your rude remark to me when it wasn't directed 2 u.
This phrase was enough for me, to understand, were the problem is "he was beaten as a baby to be gelded" YOU are a problem, not the horse, YOU taught him to do that with all the pattings and strokings for nothing and he deffniatly thinks that this is the right way to do, unwillingly you taught him to buck and you are rewarding him for doing that.
P.S. Make sure that the sadle fits him and try using a cropper it might help, but it's not worth the hassle, horse is spoiled and ruined.
@trumparch you clear dont know what your talking about. the rider wasn't the one who beated him also you might find he doesn't think that. that horse is obviously scared you can see it through his body language. oh yeah any good rider always knows "theres no such thing as a ruined horse because with some true love and devotion any one and anything can bounce back" - meagan jones austrialian olympic eventer. so no your wrong and clearly dont know how to handle interesting horses
1 Have you read yourself in to the words:, "beaten ..(...).. to be gelded?" Does that make any sense to you?
2 Could you tell me which actual signs of the body language shows that he is scared? (Or do you just like to talk shite like the rest of the "internet jockeys"?)
And don't cite me, them top jockeys, because they would never fed, such a bastard of the horse. like that one on the video.
@trumparch typical .you go round attacking people because you know there right. oh yeah and if you so smart to know that the horse is usless then shouldn't you already know?. while your attacking me for my shity grammar you type this: "And don't cite me, them top jockeys, because they would never fed, such a bastard of the horse. like that one on the video." seriously how does that make ANY sense.
oh yeah every horse can be saved but its because of people like you is the reason they dont.
@trumparch EVERY HORSE IN THE WORLD IS WORTH THE HASSLE! if it cant stand or if its killed 1000 people every horse has that one person that can tame it and every horse has another chance. people like you that said my horse was out of chances and he wasnt worth the dirt he was standin on. well guess what that 650lb bucky,crazy mean, arab was the best thing that ever happened to me and the 800lb funny,crazy tamed whn he wants to be arab is still the best thing that ever happened to me.
@1233Maya Oh yeah? Try to make a living buying snd selling such horses and the only thing you'll have in your mouth through the whole day is going to be your wifes pussy, because it will be the only thing you'll be able to afford to eat, if you'll try to save every single horse on this planet.
@trumparch ....that is the 2nd time someone has told me ima have a wife and its really startin to creep me out. I know some one that buys horses like that and she is not rich but she has 21 horses and 3 kids and feeds all of them with extra left over. She also sings and her husdand is a farier and she helped her vet out with a horse so she gets like a 25% discount. (one of her horses was "lame" and would never trot again...that horse now gallops in the feild and is good at drassoge)
@1233Maya Well it's the farrier who feeds the family, you can take it for granted, in our days farriers became robin' rich bastaz, and then if that woman buys SUCH horses, like that nag on the video, that means that she is a crocked lady, because I don't know who in their right mind would pay money for such a horse the only answer she is cheating ( see I spend a few years in dealers yards, so I know the game inside out)
@trumparch no she is a horse trainer that loves horses and is amazing with them she never hits the horse, ever, and a horse like this would be nothing for her... she bought and tamed a wild Mustang, and yes the Mustang was wild and has the tatto on her neck to prove it. She likes problem horses because they chalange her, and Dont say shit about people u dont know, both of them are honest, hard workin, good people. She almost never sells the horses and he husband can trim----
@trumparch any horse even if it "bites and kicks and rears" well 20 min into it he had the horse standing with no one holding him while he did his feet.(NO hitting was involved eather so do go there, he does my horse and my horse pretty much only likes me but he wennys when he sees Mark come it. and my horse was abused so geting him to trust u isnt really easy, he didnt winny at me till i'd been messing with him for about 3 months)
@trumparch ps she doesnt pay for most of her horses cuz people think they a lost cause and give them away... witch is why she has a freaking goruos freasion stud that shes working with now. he has broke bones! thats y he was given away. i think he broke his old owners arm and 3 ribs and a foot of the "trainer" she hired. He broke my friends jaw a while ago but he was like 2 and got really exited and kicked out when she was lunging him and he got her in the jaw cuz he is like 17hh.
What u need to do is have a friend with another horse guarding ur horse with a rope tired to em and slowly wall as soon it start to buck close up the range
@DGAMEFOWL Err, no, that's just about the stupidest thing you can do, if a horse who is in total panic, as this one clearly is, you should NEVER have it ties to another horse. Watched the dogwhisperer much...? It works with dogs, maybe, NOT with horses. They are completely different kinds of animals (fight and flight).
This is a clear case of massive amounts of patience and lots of TLC. I admire the poster for his-her persiverance in giving this horse a try. Bravo.
@DGAMEFOWL Never tie horses togeather. I tied my horse to a mini one day... i couldnt ride him for 2 weeks and i had to have 3 people help me hold him wile i put medicine on his rope burns, It's been almost a year and he still gets nevuos around ropes and it takes me about 10 min on the grond to get him to walk over a rope and he gets all jacked up. In the saddle i cant get him to walk over a rope he will jump it or trot up to it and take off over it.... He's a pretty quite guy too.
I think he will make you a great horse once he is broken of his fear.. Maybe try some bending an lunging. But i must say whatever it is your doing now has to have helped him! I have the faith in you :D
i have notice while you were mounting and sitting there he didnt breathe or relax at all try giving him a little bit of a loose rein and sit their till he takes a deep breath then rub him and dismount. then mount again and do the same .when you do try to ask him to move try going backwards first. if he cant back he isnt using the thinking side of his brain(same as not breathing) so maybe wait till he relaxes a little :-). you guys look like you have come a long way keep going :-)
Don't stand there and let him think. Once you are on take charge and let him know your the boss. Once you get your leg over turn him in a tight circle which will throw a spanner in the crap he's throwing at you. A few spins will give him something to think about then get off before he has a chance to do his normal crap. Get back on , give him a spin and take him for a ride. You are farting about waiting for him to get you off, reverse that and take charge or it will take another 2 years.
try the horse breaking dummy - he can't get it off
he looks like he is trained to buck and get the rider off. I know its difficult, looks like you are making progress though - good for you not beating him!
it's a nice horse and I think it's a good attempt ... others would long ago have shot him ... but I think it's nice to constantly work with him ... hope he gets a good riding horse.
Hi, i think it might be that you get off, and he's now used to that routine, here in Mexico we begin mounting with another calm horse pulling, for at least a month, if your interested in this method let me know, and I give you more details, regards from Sinaloa Mexico
how are you doing with him now? my pony was a bit like this when i first got her ive rebacked and broken her myself and she is going quite nice, hope you have the same story:)xx
u guys are all twats! read the despcription the horse was beaten for 2years its not gunna be the easiest to ride! my god u guys are stupid.... ignore everyone u have been doing ur job so well with him/her and im been riding for 10years so i know ur are good x
@TheChocolate247 I so agree with you.. i had a stallion well he isnt anymore but the water thing works i heard from my friend but anyway it just takes patience and you certainly have it! good job!! :)
@CALICOTV301 no. but once a horse is BROKEN in then its gets usued to being ridien cus it loves going on adventures hack eventing etc.... so yeah shut up or someone might need to break you in and ride you to teach u a lesson!
i understand he was beaten... poor boy,, but to help i would suggest water training. no spurs if u do one day decide to use them if u dont already. get bald spurs or rounded off ones.. the jingle ones cause they can cut into your horse. he is a beautiful boy .
he needs to be saddle broke. he doesnt like to be riden cause he isnt broken... u need to takr him into water to break him,,, trust, he will break easy that way,, take him into a pool or a pond. another thing is how u have your heals... dont dig them into his sides when you are on him to grip in case he acts up that tells him to go. u dont want that unless you really want him to run.
he needs to be saddle broke. he doesnt like to be riden cause he isnt broken... u need to takr him into water to break him,,, trust, he will break easy that way,, take him into a pool or a pond.
its really good you put so much time in this horse, my horse was beaten as a baby to, and he is scared of everything, but when you get to know him he is reallt sweet, its awsome to see that people do everyting for there horses, just to be friends with them. keep up the work!
But you can tell he still needs to learn from ground! I'v learned everything about horses an i tihnk i know this one needs alot of work before getting in the saddle! I know he's the one doing this not her! I'm just saying dont get an push him that fast! so mind your own opinion!
I must apologise..i did not read about his background. my mistake. I'd still reccomend talking to him..they do understand. Also maybe read some books about positive thinking..this can transmit very easily to animals and if you can place yourself in a very calm state thru yoga or meditation then this will help to put him a better, more open state of mind (happy place)..something which horse whisperers employ. .If you like i can point you in the right direction with books. Best wishes
He looks a bit depressed to me..and I agree with the lady who said the reins are too short, yanking on his mouth..his ears go back and I can clearly see the rider leaning on his mouth as they are petting him. His stance is pretty square so i wouldnt immediately suspect a spinal problem. I think this horse needs a bit more respect and possibly a very assertive rider..no fear. give him a break and start at the begining..regain his trust and go from there very slowly. I would walk him out..talk.
that could be a result of being backsore. horse chiropractors/bodyworkers work wonders, or have his back x-rayed for small fractures or displacements. or the saddle could be pinching. i would say with the way he was acting in the video, checking for pain is definitely worth a shot.
You should not rider this horse! Your definetly not the right rider to handle! Your just to quick! He's probably a horse who want's to take it step by step an if you can't do that properly he'll just make a great job at the rodeo! Unless you want him to change i'd rather you put him in better hands! Cause theres definetly something with that horse that he dosent like about you! It all depends on you! Every rider is different to that horse an you just arent one of his favorites!
just gonna say...rider kicked to move forward, horse did..then rider pulled on reins, horse stopped and moved backwards..then rider kicked again, horse possibly confused by the fact it had just done that and been gobbed in the mouth, decided fuck this! my conclusion, horse is smarter than the rider.
You're doing such a great job with him! I used to have a horse like that - whatever you did he just said "Nu-uh, don't even go there!" . . . I tried to back him three times over a year and a half and eventually he stopped bucking me off every time something new happened (leg aids, rein contact, etc.), but then he took a turn for the worse and became completely unrideable. I'm really pleased that you've got somewhere with yours and you are so amazing at handling him.
it's nice that you rescued him and everything... but clearly he doesn't want to be ridden, I mean, if you have to train a horse for 2 years+ then maybe it's a sign he REALLY doesn't want to be ridden, at all. Maybe it's best just to have him in a field and just give him love and attention instead of trying to get him to be a trail or show horse...
@becaro0nie where i ride we have had a horse for 7 years and weve only just started riding her! she was severely beaten and if we hadnt saved her the butcher would have had her. its all about trust really! shes a beautifully natured horse, she just trusts very few people. im not making a dig at you at all, im just saying it does take a while, and if people want to spend that long then its up to them!
Are you still having an issue with bucking? If so, may I suggest double teaming him. Meaning 2 people. One on the ground at his head without a bridle instead and halter and leadrope. One in the saddle, use the mane to hold on. Your job is to stay on. The person on the ground get to control the reaction. Your job is to turn the horses head away from the direction he wants to buck. We taught this method to our girls and they use it now on their youngsters. If you want more info, let me know. GL
I SAY GOOD ON YOU MATE NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF PATIENCE ESPECIALLY WITH ANIMALS AND THUMBS UP FOR NOT SHOOTING THE BOY BECAUSE IT WAS SMIPLY THE EASY WAY OUT MY YOUNG SHOW HORSE WAS A CHRONIC BUCKER HOWEVER WITH A TIME AND PATIENCE SHE IS UNBEATEN IN ALL OF THE CLASSES WE HAVE ENTERED JUST GOES TO SHOW ALL THE PEOPLE THAT TOLD ME TO GIVE UP ON THE "BIG BITCH" THAT TIME DOES GO A LONG WAY :) GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR HORSE MATE
hahah bless him i had this problem .... Turned out to be Kissing spine :( poor thing glad to read he's getting better....... sometimes patience and understanding works best .... P.s nicely held ... xx
Have you tried "T" touch technique on him? It appears as if he may be having some hock issues in the right hind leg. In the video, it's locked up, and it looks as if the rearing may be in response to the lock or sensation in said hock. How are things going for you now?
I would just say, ceep on sitting on him and make him used to have a rider on.. as soon as the nervousness to a rider weres off.. he should be fine.. maybe have him on a lead? and maybe drain some energy by making him run in a circle before u ride (and maybe run in the circle with a rider after a while) :) just some tips from someone who is used to that kind off horses :p
I hope he feels better? In the film he dosnt appear as nervous - he can even handle the rider making gestures and touch his face from a blind spot! The horse is reasonable patient. When the horse is asked to step forward, it tries tu, but is seemingly prevented when the right hind leg should be set in play. This leg is as entrenched a brief moment and then the horse rears out of the situation.
Perhaps there may be a temporary /recurrent Patella fixation?, but it's hard to tell from the video. Note the fold / shadow as seen over the knee joint (right hind leg) combined with the position of this leg when asked to step forward.

Have you had his teeth checked, I used to ride one and we had the same problem as soon as you asked him to move forward or even slightly touched his mouth he would rear spin and basically just freek out soon has we had teeth done problem vanished :) X
Well done on the landing! and we had a horse like this and we got all the checks done on him but nothing was out of the ordinary .. so we sent im to a natural horse trainer and he is now superb and doing bsja with my younger sister.. sometimes it helps to send them to a natural horse trainer i think they are wonderful xxxx
If that horse don't have anything in his back or somewhere else, I would say to at least try for some time with western saddle and when he starts all that jumping all around you could try to get him go forward somehow... I'm not sure if it will work or not, but at least you can try :) I think you will have wonderful horse when he only will easy up...
If you stick him, he will quite. I had a horse that would do that every time to everyone to. Broke a guys collar bone, another persons arm two separate times, etc. I decided to give him a go. He tried his best, I sat back and went for the ride and then just pushed him forward out of it. He never tried to throw me again. As long as I was within a reasonable distance from him, he would let anyone ride him. If I wasn't there or walked to far away and someone tried, he would toss them. Go Figure.
God, you know it isn’t easy! I was honestly thinking that nothing way going to happen. He was taking everything so well, even if a little tense. It’s a shame when humans ruin horses so they behave like this. I’m sure he doesn’t have a nasty bone in his body! <3
my horse did similar things and after a year my ferrier (who had to be paid extra to even touch him) suggested I x-ray his back.. We did and in a mixed feeling of relief sadness we found out he had an old injury probably from "foal-hood" that had healed into something abnormal.
@magnifik87 One of his vertebras had trippled in size and was like a fist. He had been in tremendous pain and still never hurt me. The vets said they could operate but they had never seen anything like it and he would be kept in a rock for a year or two and so I decided they should end his suffering and have him put down... You should make sure you exclude all the medical reasons!! The person who sold my horse to me knew about his problem and she didnt care!!
I re-trained a similar horse in Ireland. He came back from a fair covered in welts and cuts. Every time someone had tried him he'd freak out and do anything to dump the rider, ended up being beaten for it. A friend bought him to save him from slaughter. I retrained him for her, took me about two months of spending roughly 4 hours a day with him and he was sold to a boy who'd been riding for 6month and they went to Grade A together :)
You just need to find the right way with your boy! Good Luck!

Gorgeous boy! Try having a look at Endospink's videos. He starts racehorses. Some of them are problem horses that are on the way to ending up as sushi. He has an interesting technique that he uses and it gets results. If you sent him a message, he might have some advice that could help.

This rider is fantastic. It takes guts of steel to get on a horse that you know is going to blow up like that. I give you a lot of credit for working with him. Most owners would have sent him to the meat man. That is one lucky horse to have such patient owners.
zsuzsuspetals 2 days ago 2
My only comment is that perhaps having an assistant holding him would help... he seems
quite reasonable at the mounting process... only walking with the weight on his back that he is scared of. Have you tried leading him with a bag of oats or something heavy on his back?
Just offering suggestions... it's all in his head as you know. Keep trying, you will get it.

I'm glad he found someone like you who seems to have a wonderful passion for these beautiful creatures. Thank you for all your hard work. It has not gone unnoticed :) Also, I just wanted to say: that has got to be the best dismount I have ever seen! I wish mine were just as graceful- haha!

No horse problems only people problems. He looks scared from the start saying he deosn't trust you. Do ground work and gain trust and leadership. Try natural horsemanship. you would learn about horse behavior and how to gain trust.

4) Use a bareback pad and lay across his back and lay on him like a dead man. (like in the westerns. rub his neck and belly and flanks slowly. If he feels and you think he is going to buck just push yourself off. 5) Have another person standing by your horse to calm him and to help you out if you should get in trouble. Look up thephbalance on you tube and watch the videos called Colt Starting. I wish you well and hope for your success. your horse is a beauty
thephbalance 1 week ago
The first that I see wrong is how tense your horse is. His body language shows how he is ready to explode. So here are a few helpful hints. 1) Work with him on collecting himself on the front legs. Square him up to where his front legs are set for better balance. 2) His head is way to high, he is anticipating something bad happening. 3) don't pat him on the neck tho you mean well it is only adding to his anxiety. Instead slowly rub his neck til he loosens up.
thephbalance 1 week ago
Why do you send the horse to people, that work with him? Do you go there, too, and look what they do? The Natural Horsemanship person should come to your barn and show YOU how to work with the horse, since you are the one that owns him. The horse has to trust and respect YOU. YOU have to learn how that works.

You're doing fine, it takes great patience with this type of problem. I had a mare years ago who actually ran off with me daily, finally figured out she couldn't take the bit( I tried all types too) started riding her in a bosal/hackamore type thing and she was great as soon as the bit wasn't in her mouth. Rode beautifully in just a halter. Your horse will overcome this thing.

@rosycheeks44 Um,yeah, I had bought the horse after 3 years of studying 'Natural Horsmanship' and having a lot of success bringing along my yearling into a wonderful riding horse, (now my best lesson horse) and having graduated with honors from Meredith Manor (look it up). After 4 mos of ground work and building a relationship, and another 6 mos spending lots of time working on his mounting issues, I had made almost no progress. NOT ALL HORSES CAN BE MADE PERFECT
jmdnarri 1 week ago
@rosycheeks44 ...Also, after two years of owning him, we had worked through his problems being caught in the pasture, he would come to me, I got him over his trailer issues, and took him from a burnt out barrel horse, to a nice quite pleasure horse, but he NEVER got over being tense the frist minute or two of every ride, and bucking when it was cold out. Not every issue is a matter of trust.

It always makes me happy when humans do not give up on their horses. I had a bombastic first horse - but really - nothing quite like this, she would just try to get any "new" rider off once or twice. My geldings and mares now, are docile greenies. But I commend you for your paitence. -- Have you ever thought of hoping on and asking him to run - Make it your idea, is what I mean... He may get bored with his little vice when he is asked to do it ? I mean stranger things have happened.

My pony used to buck whenever I asked him to do anything! When he completely ignore the leg, I would wave the whip over his hindquarters, which was enough to make him go ( he's a very proud fella and is easily offended xD) He doesn't buck anymore once he realized I wasn't coming off.The rider also seemed tense too, which is why I suggested getting on & going so he's thinking forward. Also give him his head so he doesn't think he's trapped & rear as an excuse!He can't rear if he's moving forward
C00kieM0nster07 1 week ago
Fatnastic landing! lol Ask him to go forward & do what you can to make him go straight. He can throw a fit all he wants as long a he's not spinning! Then don't let him stop until you say so; so keep him trotting either with a squeeze or mild kick (& if you use a whip, a light touch or wave the whip over his hindquarters) until he has a good moment, then ask him to walk. See if feeding him treats from the saddle will help & try to hop on & go straight to work like there's no problem. =)

Neck flexing is good.
BUT, this is now ingrained in him. My suggestion: A dummy.
Make a weighted dummy--jeans and sandbags work well for the legs, a large floppy doll works for the torso. Strap the dummy to the saddle so that there is no way it is coming off and turn him lose.
Once he realizes that he is not going to get his "rider" off he will most likely stop.

Also, keep the horse's neck flexed towards you while mounting. Yield his hind quarters for a few circles.
jaserovy 1 month ago
@jaserovy This is VERY VERY true! I do it with all my colts. By keeping his head flexed you make them off balanced and extreemly hard to buck, rear, jump.. ect. also by disengaging his hind quarters you make it hard for the horse to do anything "bad." It is a great way to help them relax and builds confidence about moving with someone on thier back. Both of these things will help the horse to become soft and suple while building confidence and trust while paying more attention to you(:

You need Parelli Natural Horsemanship :/ I have an abused mare who is EXTREMELY hard to catch and ride and her owners before being rescued owned a riding stable but didn't know how to act around horses. They whipped her face, kicked her, used heavy bits and spurs... I've been using Natural Horsemanship for 5 months and last week I rode her with a Western saddle and a halter and she walked so calmly and sedately for me that I gave a 5 year old a pony ride afterward. Parelli works wonders.

Some horses are just stubborn and inteligent. Maybe once you have fallen from him by mounting and thought rhat it is a good way to avoid riding?
I had twice this problem, and the only solution was to break him by making him tired and slowly get on the horse with an assistant.

1233Maya 1 month ago
I don't know everything you've done with him in regards to backing him, how I have to agree with beautyfarmtas's comment. But I would just see where starts getting tense (whether its in the areana, saddling, putting foot in stirrup, etc) and wait for him to relax, and immediately back off as an award. Horses learn at a give&release. Eventually he'll figure out that if he relaxes the pressure comes off. Once you can push through that initial point, repeat that each time he tenses up.

I thought I would try giving my adivce. The horse is nervous, tight and anxious. Before riding him, you should maybe work on trust between you and him. He needs to trust you before he is ever ridden, espenically considering his past history with humans in general. Somehow, you have to show him you are trustworthy, work on him trusting you, try doing some bacis ground work and work on you're relationship with him frist, then when your ready to ride, stroke him wait for him to relax.

This phrase was enough for me, to understand, were the problem is "he was beaten as a baby to be gelded" YOU are a problem, not the horse, YOU taught him to do that with all the pattings and strokings for nothing and he deffniatly thinks that this is the right way to do, unwillingly you taught him to buck and you are rewarding him for doing that.
P.S. Make sure that the sadle fits him and try using a cropper it might help, but it's not worth the hassle, horse is spoiled and ruined.

i have notice while you were mounting and sitting there he didnt breathe or relax at all try giving him a little bit of a loose rein and sit their till he takes a deep breath then rub him and dismount. then mount again and do the same .when you do try to ask him to move try going backwards first. if he cant back he isnt using the thinking side of his brain(same as not breathing) so maybe wait till he relaxes a little :-). you guys look like you have come a long way keep going :-)

Don't stand there and let him think. Once you are on take charge and let him know your the boss. Once you get your leg over turn him in a tight circle which will throw a spanner in the crap he's throwing at you. A few spins will give him something to think about then get off before he has a chance to do his normal crap. Get back on , give him a spin and take him for a ride. You are farting about waiting for him to get you off, reverse that and take charge or it will take another 2 years.

i understand he was beaten... poor boy,, but to help i would suggest water training. no spurs if u do one day decide to use them if u dont already. get bald spurs or rounded off ones.. the jingle ones cause they can cut into your horse. he is a beautiful boy .

he needs to be saddle broke. he doesnt like to be riden cause he isnt broken... u need to takr him into water to break him,,, trust, he will break easy that way,, take him into a pool or a pond. another thing is how u have your heals... dont dig them into his sides when you are on him to grip in case he acts up that tells him to go. u dont want that unless you really want him to run.

its really good you put so much time in this horse, my horse was beaten as a baby to, and he is scared of everything, but when you get to know him he is reallt sweet, its awsome to see that people do everyting for there horses, just to be friends with them. keep up the work!

But you can tell he still needs to learn from ground! I'v learned everything about horses an i tihnk i know this one needs alot of work before getting in the saddle! I know he's the one doing this not her! I'm just saying dont get an push him that fast! so mind your own opinion!

I must apologise..i did not read about his background. my mistake. I'd still reccomend talking to him..they do understand. Also maybe read some books about positive thinking..this can transmit very easily to animals and if you can place yourself in a very calm state thru yoga or meditation then this will help to put him a better, more open state of mind (happy place)..something which horse whisperers employ. .If you like i can point you in the right direction with books. Best wishes

He looks a bit depressed to me..and I agree with the lady who said the reins are too short, yanking on his mouth..his ears go back and I can clearly see the rider leaning on his mouth as they are petting him. His stance is pretty square so i wouldnt immediately suspect a spinal problem. I think this horse needs a bit more respect and possibly a very assertive rider..no fear. give him a break and start at the begining..regain his trust and go from there very slowly. I would walk him out..talk.

that could be a result of being backsore. horse chiropractors/bodyworkers work wonders, or have his back x-rayed for small fractures or displacements. or the saddle could be pinching. i would say with the way he was acting in the video, checking for pain is definitely worth a shot.

You should not rider this horse! Your definetly not the right rider to handle! Your just to quick! He's probably a horse who want's to take it step by step an if you can't do that properly he'll just make a great job at the rodeo! Unless you want him to change i'd rather you put him in better hands! Cause theres definetly something with that horse that he dosent like about you! It all depends on you! Every rider is different to that horse an you just arent one of his favorites!

I have to agree with @Leeza Holmes.
And those reins are way too short, I will have done the same if I was him.

just gonna say...rider kicked to move forward, horse did..then rider pulled on reins, horse stopped and moved backwards..then rider kicked again, horse possibly confused by the fact it had just done that and been gobbed in the mouth, decided fuck this! my conclusion, horse is smarter than the rider.

You're doing such a great job with him! I used to have a horse like that - whatever you did he just said "Nu-uh, don't even go there!" . . . I tried to back him three times over a year and a half and eventually he stopped bucking me off every time something new happened (leg aids, rein contact, etc.), but then he took a turn for the worse and became completely unrideable. I'm really pleased that you've got somewhere with yours and you are so amazing at handling him.
fishmonkey57 4 months ago
it's nice that you rescued him and everything... but clearly he doesn't want to be ridden, I mean, if you have to train a horse for 2 years+ then maybe it's a sign he REALLY doesn't want to be ridden, at all. Maybe it's best just to have him in a field and just give him love and attention instead of trying to get him to be a trail or show horse...

@becaro0nie where i ride we have had a horse for 7 years and weve only just started riding her! she was severely beaten and if we hadnt saved her the butcher would have had her. its all about trust really! shes a beautifully natured horse, she just trusts very few people. im not making a dig at you at all, im just saying it does take a while, and if people want to spend that long then its up to them!
emilywren1993 2 months ago
Are you still having an issue with bucking? If so, may I suggest double teaming him. Meaning 2 people. One on the ground at his head without a bridle instead and halter and leadrope. One in the saddle, use the mane to hold on. Your job is to stay on. The person on the ground get to control the reaction. Your job is to turn the horses head away from the direction he wants to buck. We taught this method to our girls and they use it now on their youngsters. If you want more info, let me know. GL

Have you tried "T" touch technique on him? It appears as if he may be having some hock issues in the right hind leg. In the video, it's locked up, and it looks as if the rearing may be in response to the lock or sensation in said hock. How are things going for you now?
Bratracer36 4 months ago
I would just say, ceep on sitting on him and make him used to have a rider on.. as soon as the nervousness to a rider weres off.. he should be fine.. maybe have him on a lead? and maybe drain some energy by making him run in a circle before u ride (and maybe run in the circle with a rider after a while) :) just some tips from someone who is used to that kind off horses :p

I hope he feels better? In the film he dosnt appear as nervous - he can even handle the rider making gestures and touch his face from a blind spot! The horse is reasonable patient. When the horse is asked to step forward, it tries tu, but is seemingly prevented when the right hind leg should be set in play. This leg is as entrenched a brief moment and then the horse rears out of the situation.
annlai1401 4 months ago
Perhaps there may be a temporary /recurrent Patella fixation?, but it's hard to tell from the video. Note the fold / shadow as seen over the knee joint (right hind leg) combined with the position of this leg when asked to step forward.

If that horse don't have anything in his back or somewhere else, I would say to at least try for some time with western saddle and when he starts all that jumping all around you could try to get him go forward somehow... I'm not sure if it will work or not, but at least you can try :) I think you will have wonderful horse when he only will easy up...

If you stick him, he will quite. I had a horse that would do that every time to everyone to. Broke a guys collar bone, another persons arm two separate times, etc. I decided to give him a go. He tried his best, I sat back and went for the ride and then just pushed him forward out of it. He never tried to throw me again. As long as I was within a reasonable distance from him, he would let anyone ride him. If I wasn't there or walked to far away and someone tried, he would toss them. Go Figure.

God, you know it isn’t easy! I was honestly thinking that nothing way going to happen. He was taking everything so well, even if a little tense. It’s a shame when humans ruin horses so they behave like this. I’m sure he doesn’t have a nasty bone in his body! <3

my horse did similar things and after a year my ferrier (who had to be paid extra to even touch him) suggested I x-ray his back.. We did and in a mixed feeling of relief sadness we found out he had an old injury probably from "foal-hood" that had healed into something abnormal.

@magnifik87 One of his vertebras had trippled in size and was like a fist. He had been in tremendous pain and still never hurt me. The vets said they could operate but they had never seen anything like it and he would be kept in a rock for a year or two and so I decided they should end his suffering and have him put down... You should make sure you exclude all the medical reasons!! The person who sold my horse to me knew about his problem and she didnt care!!
