@shewillbeloved1997 We choose it...but they choose HOW they are treated by how they act. If you were a horse.....would you rather have a tiny little chick liek that smacking you with the crop and epicly fail at putting u in your palce or would you rather the herd leader rain down on you with bites and kicks that rip your flesh?? You can't possibly hit a horse as hard as another horse could kick them. Every horses tests you for your position as leader, and if you let them they will walk over you.
@shewillbeloved1997 HORSES have a hairarchy in their horse herds.....when you own a horse, THEY are a part of your herd. And even a small pony jumpign on a 95lb person like me could kill me. ANY horse should know that YOU are the lead horse in the herd...they should respect you and move to your pressure. If they don;'t they can be dangerus. But they shouldn't be teriffied of you.
I don't think this person knew what they were doing. And someone tought this horse that this was an ok way to act. Personally, I would have been like HERE you want to move?? ROUND PEN TIME! And lundge the little bastard till it didn't have the energy to do this. Then try leading again.
she should have popped him a time or two, but hitting them in/near the face drives me crazy!! It makes them head-shy!! How would like a horse that if you raise your hand or leg quickly the horse would spook and throw his head up and jump back? I have a pony that is old and he doesn't like me to mount him from the ground bareback because when i fling up my leg to jump on, or reach quickly for his halter, he throws his head up. We didn't hit him in the head, i don't know how he became so head shy.
HAHA LOL, I suppose even 'professionals' have moments like this so I wouldnt be so quick to judge her 'professionalism' without knowing her and her techniques/ experience in more detail. Gorgeous pony though, I would definatly buy (but I do go for the 'challenging' horses or at least those who seem to have a little bit of unffff/ character- yes yes Im a moron I know this :p)
That's one of the things I don't tolerate from a horse! My horses respect me because I'm their leader. My gelding pinned his ears and tried to run me over, I was carrying my crop so I let him have it for about 3 seconds then went back to what I was doing. He's the low horse in the pasture so he tests me and I have to put him back in his place. It's not abuse in those situations. They're bigger than us and a lead horse will do much more damage than a whip can do in that situation.
This pony invaded her space and of he'd done that to another horse he'd been reprimanded a lot worse.I taught all my horses you don't come into my personal space unless invited.He was trying to mount her.its definitely time to call the vet!
Keep in mind the size of the animal, a slap like that to a horse is more a show to them than it is actual physical punishment. And yes this thing must be corrected. She did it in a pretty reasonable way.
Most ponies are like that. They are just to cute, something has to make up for there meaness. One time, I was getting a pony named Ella tacked up, and as I picked up her hoof, she bit me on the butt.
That women did what she had to do like one time i was showing my friends horse in horsemanship and he ran over me and was acting like a brat so yes i did give him a very hard slap to the face and a snap with the chin shank. ITS NOT ABUSE! STOP FREAKING OUT!!!!! abuse is when you starve your horse of whip it for no reason at all. So go complain to someone else, because for the last time THIS.............IS..........NOT.............A-B-U-S-E!!! and ...... this pony is adorable!!!
This lady's reaction was proper in response to the violent action by the pony. What if he had done that to a small child? True what others are saying about his behavior being disrespectful and downright dangerous; if another horse had been at the end of that, the pony would have been treated the same or worse in response!
seriously people, it was much better for her to have taught him a lesson. it looked like he was trying to mount her even!! would u rather have him do that to her or have her make sure he stopped. this IS proper horsemanship!!! though u may think ur horse is soo sweet and kind, its horsemanship like this that got them there. if you want to get trampled and/or killed by stupid behavior by an animal that is bigger than u, go ahead and treat a young horse the way u want
@WesternBender2011 If you let a horse run over you and jump on top of you, you are not being a leader for him, not being a horseman of any sort. You're only ruining him and his future by souring him into a spoiled brat horse who has been allowed and taught that he can act dangerous and thats ok. If think this is abuse, look up rodeos where they do "horse tripping" look at "rollkur" look at the people who actually do beat horses for the wrong reasons or who take discipline to the extreme.
@WesternBender2011 Horsemanship is not just pampering and babying horses and ponies. Horsemanship is not feeding them carrots and giving them kisses. Not that that is bad at the appropriate times. Horsemanship is about establishing foundations, establishing boundaries, forming a bond and relationship based on RESPECT and understanding by communicating with the horse in a way he can best understand such as how other horses would communicate. You must have an understanding of equine phsycology.
@WesternBender2011 Horses do not need to be beaten, but there is a time and place to discipline them. This woman was not beating the horse, she hit him a few times on the shoulder region with a whip. Now if she had been hitting him in the face, or hadn't quit in a short period of time after the point had been made, then that is abuse.
@WesternBender2011 If a horse shows such disrespect toward a lead horse or a horse higher in the pecking order in the herd heirarchy, that higher horse is going to bite, kick, and/or strike the other horse to say "hey back off, it is not your place to disrespect me this way." do you understand the difference in the power and force behind a horses kick or bite, and the strike of a whip?
@WesternBender2011 Yeah, he was being disobedient and leapt into the air and almost landed on her. Her or any other handler could be injured or killed by this behavior. Especially if he is allowed to believe he can do this to humans, that can lead to the behavior escalating. It was a gesture of disrespect toward the handler. Horses need leaders in their life because they are herd animals and that is how their social structures function.
If you were at the woman's place, what would you have done ? Probably not staying there like if nothing happened, and waiting that the horse do it again
I think that if the horse hurts the human, the human can hit back at it. The horse must understand that when it does something that hurts the human, then it will be hurt too.
But we have to be careful and do it with the same forcefulness (do we say that in English ? .. im french). I'm not talking about bad things a horse can do, but about pain it can do to a human, I know it's not the same !! I don't hurt my horse when he makes a mistake !!!
you guys he RAN her over that pony is a BRAT! he needs to learn thats what i would have done is my horse ran me over. you guys have to remeber how your emotions go into like fulll gear when your on a horse or dealing with one.
Ok, i agree on both sides. She did the correct thing by punishing him for being bad. However, she SHOULD hav given him 1 slap with her HAND. If she must use the whip once is plenty. If used more, he could spook at the whip!!
That pony is over excitied! Arn't most ponies at shows. But all she need was one good slap on the shoulder not keep trying to hit it. And horses do not try and run people over UNLESS they are stupid or if they are scared. She was just in the way when the pony was in a mood. I agree it is not abuse! But jsut one good slap would have done cause they pony was just getting more worked up cause she was whipping him. Yeah im a kid and you can have ago as muchas you like but that is my view on this.
@Logandstump1287779: I highly doubt that. His ears were back, he showed NO respect, he was not scared. He may have been WAY worse before the video started, because he is coming down from a rear in the beggining. He also looks green, and needs some manners. A yearling, maybe. Her "beating" wasn't cruel compared to what an pissed stallion could do.
it is not abuse if she does not show that pony that she is in charge the pony can become very dangerous. That is nothing compared to what horses do to each other.
@iNoLuWebshow Because the pony tried to trample her! This mentality is why so many ponies become 2much 2handle... in nature if this pony were to act like tht to a leader or even a horse higher in rank it his herd he would literally get the crap kicked out of him so he would learn and understand to respect others.. Not saying we should beat the shit out of a horse or abuse it I AM AGAINST THAT but wht she did was acceptable, and really the pony was more surprised thn hurt ever felt a horse kick?
@dilys0000 Now I dont think he tried to trample her. i think he got scared and came to her cause he felt safer but he must not of realized that she was right there and he didnt need to jump on her.
@iNoLuWebshow A whip ISNT abuse !!!!!!!! If the rearing and jumping on a human would get into a habit, then tht horse wouldnt have a future . THE WHIP IS TO TEACH .
this is not abuse a pony should know what manners and boundried are and if you keep letting this happen that pony could seriously injure someone use common sense!
you do not need to beat the poor thing...somtimes they get scared and dont know how to control it...how would u feel beiing led by a person in the wind in a new place with alot of new noises and alot of people...beating is not the option. trianing is.
stupid cow .. what she thinks she is? just the horse to beat so go there? surely it is not as good horse whom she almost kowtowing .. but because of it but you should not beat so .. -.-
@Hooneytwiin sry but the woman was in the right here: the pony tried to overrun her on purpose...if she hadn't correct this the pony would have become very dangerous rly fast. And what do you think would happen to the pony then? slaughter most likely....don't get me wrong, I'm against exsecive use of the crop/whip but in this case it had to be done. The woman obviously cares for her pony coz it looks excellent and she just didn't want to get this behaviour worse for the ponies sake and humans
i agree dat d pony needs to be corrected 4 behaviour like dat but ever wonder why he's doin it he is rebelling against d owner..but in dis day an age der is no need 4 violence towards any animal ders always another way ..if d horse was corrected using non violent methods he would trust d owner an bre a willing partner to her..wat would u rather a horse workin wit u because he wants to or a horse dats works for you out of fear
@kittymckitty89 I get what you mean and ye most of times with bad behaviour its much better to use like your voice to correct it then a crop/whip. But a horse is not a dog..while a dog would indeed do whats it owner wants even if he/she is scared to feath for its owner..but it doesn't work that way with horses or ponies: you can't work with a pony or horse thats scared to death for its rider/handler. It simply would be just as dangerous to humans as when he would have been just plain mean.
@kittymckitty89 or at least that goes for almost all horses. A horse or pony that got ruined by people so it got scared of people needs to build up trust and confidence in people again before you would be able to work with that pony or horse ever again. It can take months even years of hard work before you can ever get that back. Sadly sometimes never. And then the horse becomes double the victim: first because of abuse and the second time coz it will be put down..most likely anyway
i know this kinda sounds bad but it made me laugh when she almost got trampled and had a go at the horse :L its just a cheeky pony obviously dangerous but that can be fixed! :)
wat was the horse being presented to u as? undersaddle, pulling a cart or something, breeding purposes, etc. also, i dont think it was the lady's skirt that scared the horse, if u watch , he look s in the direction of the camera/ the ppl before bolting. and i don't think she abuses him, he was to accepting to get close to her after being disciplined. if there was abuse, he wouldn't have wanted to get that close to her. also watch his ears. he's listening, but not scared.
Personally I think there are instances when a horse should be put in its place. It is not abuse to teach a horse to respect you and respect your space. If a two horses are trying to establish dominance they will fight, they will kick and bite each other and I guarentee that getting hit with that flimsy little wip is not near as painfull as a well placed kick from another horse.
@GotToLoveHorses1 Next time you're in a situation like that I'd like to see how you handle it. Some horses need to be put in their place. If that horse had rushed up on another horse it would've gotten kicked. This is no different.
But horses AREN'T children, there smart ANIMALS. You let them get away with it and they'll have NO respect whatsoever. You cannot pussyfoot around your horse, they have to know whos the boss, or they will take advantage. Maybe she didn't have to hit him quite as many times, and the video isn't actually that clear, she could have just been waving the whip to scare him.
This is what did this pony was dangerous. The woman has only correct it. I think she knew what she was doing and the pony did not look at all mistreated!
And by the way-the reason I say "it's always the person-never the horse"--is because it's the persons responsibility to make sure they know what they are doing before they handle the horse.
@Hidenseeker424--She hit the horse mroe than 3 times---and--YES I DO TRAIN AND SHOW AT A NATIONAL LEVEL---I have won 7 consecutive all around championships without abuse! Good patient training means actually taking the time to work with your horse before ever taking them into the show ring. So it can be done without hitting your horse. Not a single one of the horses I have trained would ever behave that way and I would nevver hit them-so please-don't you ever train!
I'm not saying it was abuse or anything but the person who said she only hit him three times really needs to learn how to count. Obviously she was hitting him before the camera turned to her I counted 6 times when it was showing the poor horse. AND she did look pretty ticked off to me ( just in my opinion) I think there are better ways of handling a pony. I had one that used to act up like that all the time ( he was a stud) all I had to do was barely pop him on his rump not kill him with a wip.

I agree if you let them get away with stuff you will get hurt. BUT use your brain for a minute...horses are like children you have to teach them right and wrong. Would you beat your child just because they smarted off to you.
FIRST OF ALL!! That pony would NOT have acted like that if the DUMB IDIOT new how to train in the first place, Second of all--IT IS ABUSIVE!! How would you like it if someone beat you with a crop or whip. AND FINALLY!! ----IT'S ALWAYS THE PERSON--NEVER THE HORSE!!! Good patient training results into a good patient horse. No animal ever deserves to be mistreated especially b/c of the STUPIDITY of the their owner or handler.
@SilverHorse70 Sweetheart? Relax. This horse was at the very least not respectful of his handler's space; that absolutely CAN'T be tolerated if you ever want a safe animal. She whipped the horse a total of three times to get him out of her personal space; she didn't continue beating him in a rage, as far as we can see. If you think that "good patient training" means never disciplining your horse, please, PLEASE, never train, because you WILL get seriously hurt.

Hitting a horse won't fix it's behavior in the long-term but it needed it at the time being! What would you have done? That horse is just RUDE and lacks common ground manners. It clearly wasn't spooking it got excited and ran right though her!
Hitting the horse Isnt going to make anything Better. Whoever that Is. Yes we all no the horse was Being Bad. but still, There couldve been a Horse fly. or something..
@LoveTheHeckOuttaYou ..The horse didnt attack. Im sure he just accidently Pushed the person to get a fly off. The person was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Horses dont just Attack. Not like that.
I understand that the horse should get a penalty ... but without exaggeration that once whipping ... maybe that's too much said ... but I do not like it ....
the woman did absolutely right to punish the horse! stop say that this is cruel!
the horse was running over her, and that could have ended badly....
you can also see that the woman first is really quick to punish the horse, and suddenly she stops, and makes peace again. Then the ekipage go on. Its was nicely done of her! =)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'M NOT FUCKING SURPRISED IT'S LIKE THAT, YOU'RE HITTING IT!!!!! MAYBE IF YOU WERE NICE TO IT, BUT DIDN'T SPOIL IT IT WOULDN'T BE LIKE THAT FFS!!!!!!!!
@cocogirl20071 you obviously have never worked with a bull- headed horse,hell you probably havent worked with any horse.discipline like this was necessary for this horses behavior.theyre not stupid.this is a perfect example of that.once they figure out theyre bigger than you, this is what happens.they can kill you if they have no respect for you.this woman was showing, that she is boss.do you honestly think that a 1100 pound animal is gonna be seriously hurt by a spanking?i doubt that very much
If people are calling this abuse they need to shut up and learn the first thing about horsemanship. This pony needed that, he could become very dangerous if this behavior is not corrected. He needs a few ground work respect lessons following this show! She had every right to get after him like she did.
@Equestrian08 The pony did not need that, SHE HIT HIM! That is abuse, so dont dare try and say it is alright, would you like to be SMACKED repetitively because you jumped a bit? NO! You must need to learn some very serious horsemanship skills!
not abuse at all.... i see people do worse things to horses everyday... horses become dangerous when they don't have manners... i think the horse gor lucky, i would have given it even more of a hiding.
No need to beat the shit out of the pony thats probably why it tried to trample the stupid woman anyways... There are very many non violent ways to teach a pony ground manners even a grown horse can be taught without beating.. I have retrained ponys and horses with bad ground manners and they end up fine and I have never beat a single one of em..
obvs this pony needs some more ground manners. no people this is not abuse. this pony looks completely healthy, if my horse tryed to run me over i would of done the exact same. she was teaching him a lesson. they want this pony prob for inexperenced handlers and if this pony did this to a child what the fuck do you think would happen ? ? then child would get steped on or trampled. this pony deserved it, and obvs the lady did the right thing and got right back to what trhey were doing. thanks (:
Dude, all the people who think taking a whip to a horse is abuse are fucking retarded. Horses beat the shit out of eachother. She is the alpha out of the two and the little pony needs to understand that. The whip is just a tap on the hand compared to what horses can do to one another.
Harsh discipline, which this wasn't, can be nessecary to obtaining respect from a headstrong horsel. In a herd situation, the lead horse maintains position by enforcing the rules. If a horse steps out of line, he is reprimanded, if he continues to do it, the lead horse can be quite violent in reminding him of his place. If the lead horse didn't do this he could lose his place as lead. Humans need to maintain the upper hand and, baring true abuse. reprimand their horse when needed. she did right.
I agree that her reaction was right in the moment - you can't risk getting hurt. However, there is probably a reason this pony is misbehaving, lack of proper training being number one. I bought my horse untouched out of a field at 17 months and he was wild to say the least, but after a month of training he walked calmly at my side with no lead rope. She may be right here, but I don't think she's much of a trainer...
Do people honestly think that if she "stopped and calmy approached the pony and helped it work through the problem" it would have immediatly stopped? It was running her over and trampling her!! Did you notice that once she smacked it it wasn't running her over anymore? That is called earning respect and protecting yourself, not abuse.
OMG!!!! okay i know that kind of behaivior is NOT okay, but she should have been using a CHAIN lead rope instead of one without a chain on it!! I guess she was right to hit him to tell him that was not okay, but while YANKING on his mouth!??!!? OUCH!!!!!!!! right at 0:07 she should have started to tell him no by giving a sharp jerk down on his lead, because THAT will tell the horse, any horse what it was doing was NOT okay!!
@horseluver832 that horse could have killed or seriously hurt her she defended herself and it calmed down because she wasnt allowing it to push her around it knew what it was doing its not the victim in this scenario its the attacker
OMG!!!! okay i know that kind of behaivior is NOT okay, but she should have been using a CHAIN lead rope instead of one without a chain on it!! I guess she was right to hit him to tell him that was not okay, but while YANKING on his mouth!??!!? OUCH!!!!!!!!
wooohoooo!!!! Good job lady!!! U are the boss!! Honestly for anyone who says that the pony was being abused, look at the person!!! That pony trampled her ankles!! The pony didnt respect her and she did the right thing
I think the lady reacted appropriately... the horse invaded her space so she invaded his... It's that simple. You don't let a horse get away with that. Once he was out of her space she stopped and they continued. Not a big deal.
my horse did that one time in the arena. i let her run around for a while then i tryed to get her and she kepts bolting the other way.... i did just as this lady did and my horse hasnt done it since. this is not abuse, this is teaching the horse respect.
if you just let your horses get away with this shit, one day you will get seriously hurt. that kind of behavior is not acceptable. what the woman did was very necessary. the pony looks very well cared for, it has a super shiny coat and good weight and muscle. it also has the proper handling it needs. that woman was very tough for not falling down and being trampled. THIS PONY IS SOOO NOT ABUSED!
@icehorse91 i do think its wrong, it isnt right to let the horse get away with it but really repeatedly popping the horse with the rope? ummm no, there are more ways to gaining back the respect from the horse without making him frightend of the owner or whom ever is working with him.
hmm tell me the "more ways" because in a herd in the wild, if he did that to the horse who had authority over him, he would have had a much more painful consequence. and notice how at the end he calmly and willingly walks forward and accepts his punishment for his behavior.
It doesnt matter if this Horse looks well cared for you Do Not treat Any horse like this Its wrong!
The horse loses all respect for you and is scared of you , thats not the type of realtionship you want with your horse. Just Think if you were that horse would you liked to be hit like that ??? No i wouldnt think so .......... yes i agree the horse did wrong and she is a strong women but still has no right to treat ANY animal like that!
Not abuse. What the lady did was get angry. She then rushed at the horse and he got scared and continued the bad behaviour. She should have said NO in a calm voice, and calmly stopped him before he started backing up and freaking out.
totally agree with you. if she did not do what she did right then and there it may have become an even worse situation. you correct the incident as it happens - horses in the wild do the same thing. she was doing the right thing.
@icehorse91 No, if anything the pony is spoiled rotten and the handler lets it walk all over her. Maybe not that handler but someone has so the pony thinks he can get away with it. This isn't abuse.
@icehorse91 Well said & I totally agree. There is certain behaviour that is NOT acceptable, and doing something like THIS - rearing up at someone from behind and trying to pick them up in their teeth - is a seriously major NO-NO. The woman reacted instantly with the necessary amount of aggression (which is what another horse would have done to the pony in this situation). Note how quickly the pony walked quietly again after she'd punished him. Very well-handled IMO.
@icehorse91 - you have SO right. and i like the thing when she whips the horse, then stops and "bows" like she is saying "thats it. now were good again"
@icehorse91 Yes. but there is Better ways to Discipline Them for it. :] I would say this is abuse but its only my Opinion, you can say im wrong. but Thats just your opinion.
I would have bought the poor pony anyways, if only to save it from that abusive woman.
People who beat animals will do many other horrible things. It's sick.
She should never be allowed to breed or own horses ever again. ANY good trainer knows that every pony/horse can have a bad day , or get scared and act up - you never know. BUT you NEVER EVER beat them for it.
Just in my point of view, this horse was getting in her space, VERY dangerously.
If she did not discipline him , this could have turned into an extremely dangerous habit/behavior in future, and from experience, this could end in his death, or someone elses.
If she had worked on calming him, giving him a few pats, that would have done NOTHING, it would have mad the situation worse. Even if he spooked (my p.o.v it looks like he didn't) she could not have let him run her over.
@Cloudruby9 - it wont , ever. But this dumb human is reacting and not thinking. She is beating the pony because it acted up and embaressed her. What she should have done was calmly approach the pony and help it work through what ever problem it was having that cause it to act up. Proper training could have made that an awsome pony , now it will always know that humans can = beating and pain
@LICKETYSPLITALNG Haha I'd seriously like for half of these YTers to say what they feel to my yeard manager. They probaly wouldn't get two words out before being told exactly word for word how and why they are wrong lmao. You can tell really horse people from the animal lovers in seconds here. Whos soft and whos not.
both the pony and lady over reacted... i mean, if that little rude fucker of a pony jumped on me at home, i would beat it... its too dangerous to be rude, yet at a show is a bit out... plus, why the hell was its tail plaited but its mane not???
- Yes the pony was being disrespectful but to continuously whip him/her was totally unnecessary. She could have simply given the pony a firm but fair smack so that he/she took a step backwards out of the lady's space, halted for a few seconds then proceeded. Overall I'm sure that would have had a much better effect in the long run.
wow that lady is a bitch

That's one of the things I don't tolerate from a horse! My horses respect me because I'm their leader. My gelding pinned his ears and tried to run me over, I was carrying my crop so I let him have it for about 3 seconds then went back to what I was doing. He's the low horse in the pasture so he tests me and I have to put him back in his place. It's not abuse in those situations. They're bigger than us and a lead horse will do much more damage than a whip can do in that situation.

That women did what she had to do like one time i was showing my friends horse in horsemanship and he ran over me and was acting like a brat so yes i did give him a very hard slap to the face and a snap with the chin shank. ITS NOT ABUSE! STOP FREAKING OUT!!!!! abuse is when you starve your horse of whip it for no reason at all. So go complain to someone else, because for the last time THIS.............IS..........NOT.............A-B-U-S-E!!! and ...... this pony is adorable!!!

This lady's reaction was proper in response to the violent action by the pony. What if he had done that to a small child? True what others are saying about his behavior being disrespectful and downright dangerous; if another horse had been at the end of that, the pony would have been treated the same or worse in response!
miskaffon 6 months ago
seriously people, it was much better for her to have taught him a lesson. it looked like he was trying to mount her even!! would u rather have him do that to her or have her make sure he stopped. this IS proper horsemanship!!! though u may think ur horse is soo sweet and kind, its horsemanship like this that got them there. if you want to get trampled and/or killed by stupid behavior by an animal that is bigger than u, go ahead and treat a young horse the way u want

@WesternBender2011 If you let a horse run over you and jump on top of you, you are not being a leader for him, not being a horseman of any sort. You're only ruining him and his future by souring him into a spoiled brat horse who has been allowed and taught that he can act dangerous and thats ok. If think this is abuse, look up rodeos where they do "horse tripping" look at "rollkur" look at the people who actually do beat horses for the wrong reasons or who take discipline to the extreme.
Equestrian08 6 months ago
@WesternBender2011 Horsemanship is not just pampering and babying horses and ponies. Horsemanship is not feeding them carrots and giving them kisses. Not that that is bad at the appropriate times. Horsemanship is about establishing foundations, establishing boundaries, forming a bond and relationship based on RESPECT and understanding by communicating with the horse in a way he can best understand such as how other horses would communicate. You must have an understanding of equine phsycology.
Equestrian08 6 months ago
@WesternBender2011 Horses do not need to be beaten, but there is a time and place to discipline them. This woman was not beating the horse, she hit him a few times on the shoulder region with a whip. Now if she had been hitting him in the face, or hadn't quit in a short period of time after the point had been made, then that is abuse.
Equestrian08 6 months ago
@WesternBender2011 If a horse shows such disrespect toward a lead horse or a horse higher in the pecking order in the herd heirarchy, that higher horse is going to bite, kick, and/or strike the other horse to say "hey back off, it is not your place to disrespect me this way." do you understand the difference in the power and force behind a horses kick or bite, and the strike of a whip?
Equestrian08 6 months ago
@WesternBender2011 Yeah, he was being disobedient and leapt into the air and almost landed on her. Her or any other handler could be injured or killed by this behavior. Especially if he is allowed to believe he can do this to humans, that can lead to the behavior escalating. It was a gesture of disrespect toward the handler. Horses need leaders in their life because they are herd animals and that is how their social structures function.

Sometimes it's better that the correction is a bit too hard than a bit too soft... more chances that the horse doesn't do it again.
LeeHalan 6 months ago
I think that if the horse hurts the human, the human can hit back at it. The horse must understand that when it does something that hurts the human, then it will be hurt too.
But we have to be careful and do it with the same forcefulness (do we say that in English ? .. im french). I'm not talking about bad things a horse can do, but about pain it can do to a human, I know it's not the same !! I don't hurt my horse when he makes a mistake !!!

That pony is over excitied! Arn't most ponies at shows. But all she need was one good slap on the shoulder not keep trying to hit it. And horses do not try and run people over UNLESS they are stupid or if they are scared. She was just in the way when the pony was in a mood. I agree it is not abuse! But jsut one good slap would have done cause they pony was just getting more worked up cause she was whipping him. Yeah im a kid and you can have ago as muchas you like but that is my view on this.

@kittymckitty89 I get what you mean and ye most of times with bad behaviour its much better to use like your voice to correct it then a crop/whip. But a horse is not a dog..while a dog would indeed do whats it owner wants even if he/she is scared to feath for its owner..but it doesn't work that way with horses or ponies: you can't work with a pony or horse thats scared to death for its rider/handler. It simply would be just as dangerous to humans as when he would have been just plain mean.
DutchHorseAdventures 9 months ago
@kittymckitty89 or at least that goes for almost all horses. A horse or pony that got ruined by people so it got scared of people needs to build up trust and confidence in people again before you would be able to work with that pony or horse ever again. It can take months even years of hard work before you can ever get that back. Sadly sometimes never. And then the horse becomes double the victim: first because of abuse and the second time coz it will be put down..most likely anyway

wat was the horse being presented to u as? undersaddle, pulling a cart or something, breeding purposes, etc. also, i dont think it was the lady's skirt that scared the horse, if u watch , he look s in the direction of the camera/ the ppl before bolting. and i don't think she abuses him, he was to accepting to get close to her after being disciplined. if there was abuse, he wouldn't have wanted to get that close to her. also watch his ears. he's listening, but not scared.
blackpheonix1254 10 months ago
Personally I think there are instances when a horse should be put in its place. It is not abuse to teach a horse to respect you and respect your space. If a two horses are trying to establish dominance they will fight, they will kick and bite each other and I guarentee that getting hit with that flimsy little wip is not near as painfull as a well placed kick from another horse.

@Hidenseeker424--She hit the horse mroe than 3 times---and--YES I DO TRAIN AND SHOW AT A NATIONAL LEVEL---I have won 7 consecutive all around championships without abuse! Good patient training means actually taking the time to work with your horse before ever taking them into the show ring. So it can be done without hitting your horse. Not a single one of the horses I have trained would ever behave that way and I would nevver hit them-so please-don't you ever train!
SilverHorse70 10 months ago 3
I'm not saying it was abuse or anything but the person who said she only hit him three times really needs to learn how to count. Obviously she was hitting him before the camera turned to her I counted 6 times when it was showing the poor horse. AND she did look pretty ticked off to me ( just in my opinion) I think there are better ways of handling a pony. I had one that used to act up like that all the time ( he was a stud) all I had to do was barely pop him on his rump not kill him with a wip.

SilverHorse70 11 months ago
@SilverHorse70 Sweetheart? Relax. This horse was at the very least not respectful of his handler's space; that absolutely CAN'T be tolerated if you ever want a safe animal. She whipped the horse a total of three times to get him out of her personal space; she didn't continue beating him in a rage, as far as we can see. If you think that "good patient training" means never disciplining your horse, please, PLEASE, never train, because you WILL get seriously hurt.

If people are calling this abuse they need to shut up and learn the first thing about horsemanship. This pony needed that, he could become very dangerous if this behavior is not corrected.

Don't ever let a horse push you around. That's not abuse that's discipline! (:
hunterjumper1217 1 year ago
Harsh discipline, which this wasn't, can be nessecary to obtaining respect from a headstrong horsel. In a herd situation, the lead horse maintains position by enforcing the rules. If a horse steps out of line, he is reprimanded, if he continues to do it, the lead horse can be quite violent in reminding him of his place. If the lead horse didn't do this he could lose his place as lead. Humans need to maintain the upper hand and, baring true abuse. reprimand their horse when needed. she did right.

I agree that her reaction was right in the moment - you can't risk getting hurt. However, there is probably a reason this pony is misbehaving, lack of proper training being number one. I bought my horse untouched out of a field at 17 months and he was wild to say the least, but after a month of training he walked calmly at my side with no lead rope. She may be right here, but I don't think she's much of a trainer...

@icehorse91 No, if anything the pony is spoiled rotten and the handler lets it walk all over her. Maybe not that handler but someone has so the pony thinks he can get away with it. This isn't abuse.

@icehorse91 Well said & I totally agree. There is certain behaviour that is NOT acceptable, and doing something like THIS - rearing up at someone from behind and trying to pick them up in their teeth - is a seriously major NO-NO. The woman reacted instantly with the necessary amount of aggression (which is what another horse would have done to the pony in this situation). Note how quickly the pony walked quietly again after she'd punished him. Very well-handled IMO.

@icehorse91 - you have SO right. and i like the thing when she whips the horse, then stops and "bows" like she is saying "thats it. now were good again"

@icehorse91 Yes. but there is Better ways to Discipline Them for it. :] I would say this is abuse but its only my Opinion, you can say im wrong. but Thats just your opinion.

I would have bought the poor pony anyways, if only to save it from that abusive woman.
People who beat animals will do many other horrible things. It's sick.
She should never be allowed to breed or own horses ever again. ANY good trainer knows that every pony/horse can have a bad day , or get scared and act up - you never know. BUT you NEVER EVER beat them for it.

Just in my point of view, this horse was getting in her space, VERY dangerously.
If she did not discipline him , this could have turned into an extremely dangerous habit/behavior in future, and from experience, this could end in his death, or someone elses.
If she had worked on calming him, giving him a few pats, that would have done NOTHING, it would have mad the situation worse. Even if he spooked (my p.o.v it looks like he didn't) she could not have let him run her over.

@Cloudruby9 - it wont , ever. But this dumb human is reacting and not thinking. She is beating the pony because it acted up and embaressed her. What she should have done was calmly approach the pony and help it work through what ever problem it was having that cause it to act up. Proper training could have made that an awsome pony , now it will always know that humans can = beating and pain

@LICKETYSPLITALNG Haha I'd seriously like for half of these YTers to say what they feel to my yeard manager. They probaly wouldn't get two words out before being told exactly word for word how and why they are wrong lmao. You can tell really horse people from the animal lovers in seconds here. Whos soft and whos not.

both the pony and lady over reacted... i mean, if that little rude fucker of a pony jumped on me at home, i would beat it... its too dangerous to be rude, yet at a show is a bit out... plus, why the hell was its tail plaited but its mane not???

that lady done nothing that i wouldnt do ... that pony needed to get out of her face so shut the fuck up you bunch of over reacting hypocrites !
MissKayteeLouise1 1 year ago
- Yes the pony was being disrespectful but to continuously whip him/her was totally unnecessary. She could have simply given the pony a firm but fair smack so that he/she took a step backwards out of the lady's space, halted for a few seconds then proceeded. Overall I'm sure that would have had a much better effect in the long run.
