i just got an ottb and i hve learned that taking the bit out of their mouth gives them something else to think about.. they were trained to run into the bit, but with a hack, its different.. mine responded quickly to it.. he did amazing with the hack then i switched to aa combination.. i did test the snaffle after that and he was hard and ran into it.. just my experience.
@Ellen3Quinta Unless your horse is an OTTB, most horses hate being pulled on. Not saying OTTB's dont, but, you'd have to ride one to understand. I have one and I don't PULL on her, she just usually has to be on a tight rein, especially if she was acting like this. But this rider isn't pulling, she's just got her on a tight rein and using her weight leaning back:p
I know how it's like...I rode a young hyper horse that usually has tons of energy to spend in a normal day but he was in it's stall for a month after an injury, the first time after a month that I got up on him, he kicked another horse that was on the ring and bolted.That's pretty much what happens when you lock a hyper horse in a stall for a long time.
@equistera On the things you mentioned yes she did, but all the horse wanted was a little more reign, that is one of the biggest mistakes people make is when a horse starts acting up they yank on the reigns when all you have to do is give it a little slack.
@mastercueartist k thanks...but i never mentioned anythin about reign lenght. I said she did really good which means that everything she did was good....including rein length
@PasoFinoLover21 No, I didn't. I thought about it since the horse had every right to be hyper (tiny paddock, cold weather, no exercise for a long time, Thoroughbreddyness, another horse running around in it's paddock,etc.), but decided that we can't have a horse that reacts like that.
Both of my OTTBs had this in them. If I worked them in a round pen for 3-5 minutes every time before a session, then be great. The gelding ten times more than the mare, even. He would become SO responsive if he first had a chance to get the energy out. The mare was a real sweetheart, but she did bolt on occasion. I didn't think I'd like OTTBs bc I don't like high strung breeds, but I LOVE them. Great minds, so teachable.
aren't you pulling a little to hard on the horse his/her mouth? my horse would do that too when i would pull so hard. She heates being pulled in her mouth
whoever commented on the rider yanking on the horses mouth should leave the rider alone. I would love to see them do a better job!! And if you were using your brain you would know that she is actually doing that to keep the horses head up so it can't put it's head between it's legs and get her off! WELL DONE RIDER.. GREAT JOB!!
Ahaha my horse did the same while i started training her the first month xD shes now 10 months under saddle and is amazing lol this reminds me so much of her
Yes, I no this isnt you. But whoever that is. Shouldnt pull that hard on the Horses mouth. Because horses open their mouths because when you pull really hard when their mouths are closed then the Joint part of the bit digs into the top of their mouth. and its very paintful. :/ But really pretty horse :]
... and that is EXACTLY why you always have the owner/rider get on before you haha, I learnt that one the hard way and got completely damn well launched. We found out why though, poor guy RIP :-(
She looked like she had been trained enough though, she just looked pretty fresh, and my god that snaffle is thin :O I've never seen one that thin before
whats everyone on about? :| thats perfectly normal behavior for a thoroughbred ( of all horses lol ) they are renowned for haughty personalities. gorgeous horse btw! ♥
@Horses4ever8 haha mine still does! hes crazy, when he is even trotting next to another horse he thinks its a race and TAKES OFF and bucks when i put any sort of pressure on the bit
Being an off-the-track thoroughbred is not in any a valid excuse. It's an insult. I leased an off-the-track thoroughbred. He was a saint. Never bucked once. If he got angry, he'd twist up and take off until you fixed the problem, but he never bucked. In fact, not once has any of the of the ex-race-horses at my barn bucked just to buck. We had one that bucked, but that was because he had an extremely sore back. Ex-racehorse are brilliant, not crazy. So watch it.
@DarkKingdomBlade Calm down, I'm not insulting them, lol I have an OTTB that I love to death. I wasn't making excuses for her bucking, I was saying that she is a Thoroughbred (one that has been trained to run on top of that), who's been cooped up, and wants to get energy out. It's being a horse, not being "crazy" (which I never said they are). I don't need to "watch it", we're both OTTB owners and lovers here, no one's insulting them.
@MoNaZandAED I'm with you. Besides every horse had a different experience on the track. One may have been whipped and abused and the other could have run once, hardly pushed, and treated like a prince. You can't group all OTTB together! Even a barn full. That's ridiculous!
I beg to differ, My horse takes off bucking randomly and he's an OTTB and I live in california, he has really only done it in Summer(surprisingly). He bucked me off, my mom off, we had our VetSSSSS check him out(vets is plural for a reason!) and they couldn't find anything, same with our chiro practors/horse whispers, nothing. He just enjoys taking off bucking and aiming for the biggest horse. I had him in a trot LOOSE REIN TO BUCKLE and he took off. So I beg to differ on that
@DarkKingdomBlade Most any horse will buck if its cooped up in a stall jacked up on grain. And ex-race horses are usually a bit hot first off, think they are trained to be just go go go. Dont freak at this person for just stating facts and not dissing OTTB. She obviously isnt if she went to look at one.
@DarkKingdomBlade i know my TB mare who is an OTTB has never bucked with me or her owner. the only time she ever did was when she was at a show and she was in heat and there was a stallion in the other ring
omg i have a ottb and when he doesnt get worked he is SO hyper and horrible! he has never gone this insane but still! But ya gotta love that throroughbred attitude! lol she is gorgeous by the way!
Beet pulp does not make a horse 'jiggy', it purely adds sustanence and fat to the diet. Because the horse is a thorougbred is not an encuse for bucking, same with ever other excuse listed. Did they not longe the horse prior to riding? Especially after 2 months, wouldn't it make sense to give this horse some time to warm up? This horse could be fine, but with such a great buyers market, why get ones you have to ask so many questions about.
I don't know, that's just what they told us about the beet pulp, lol. The only reason I said she was a TB as an "excuse" is because they can be more high energy and sensitive, and a lot of them need to be worked often. As for warming up, if you mean walking before working, they did. They can't lunge, the ring was icy (it didn't look it, that's why she rode at all). Also, I asked no questions about her, I just attempted to avoid comments like this. None were excuses, rather good reasons.
Certainly if they felt it was safe to ride there was enough space to longe. If they hadn't properly trained her on the longe that is their fault. None of this is your fault, just thought to mention to be objective. I like to see people end up with a great match. Never be afraid to ask questions, that how you find things out. Your trainer should have many things to ask, but if you have a question, ask it. No such thing as a stupid question. (ps, they were making excuses with beet pulp)
@halfpassgal And about your last sentence, we are a bit low on money for buying a horse, and this one's really cheap (because they are a rescue). If we got her and she ended up acting like this, we'd put her in training, which still adds up to less than the well trained horses we're looking at. I think she has great potential as a jumper, and really just needs finishing, and regular work (which they couldn't do with the outdoor ring in Winter).
In this market finding a good horse cheap is a lot easier. Buy in your range, but not for it. The intial investment is the cheap part. If you start with a horse who acts like this and say, she needs this much training, she could get that much and end up needing more or not being what you expected. It is a gamble buying one who is already what you expect, much less one who is not even there. She could be just fine, but how much risk can you take financially and emotionally?
@halfpassgal I kind of get the beat pulp thing but being a Thoroughbred OF THE TRACK is an excuse. Your taking a horse who has only had to either run straight and winor occasionallyrun break neck over fences(steeplechasing) and this horsehasNOTbeen asked toBend, slow down,use hind end,GIVE TO A CONNECTIONinstead of going behind or yanking, or take off running like they were trained. AlsoOTTBSarePUMPEDwith things and are 'supposed' to be crazy before a big run, that's how theJockeys like 'em.CNTU
CONT- So that being said.... It IS an excuse when it really shouldn't be, remember, we all look ugly before it gets gorgeous. In ANY sport, I don't care WHAT you do, you're horse(if they truly are good at what they do and they aren't some lame old horse who won't go above trot cause they hurt too much) your horse WILL test you, whether it's by trying to nibble you or to buck you off and run you over(or your instructor over, lol like my boy.) A horse is a Horse is a Horse. But a OTB is one thing.
i just got an ottb and i hve learned that taking the bit out of their mouth gives them something else to think about.. they were trained to run into the bit, but with a hack, its different.. mine responded quickly to it.. he did amazing with the hack then i switched to aa combination.. i did test the snaffle after that and he was hard and ran into it.. just my experience.
