Hey I love your videos and I think that they are very informative and helpful to me. I have a Arab gelding who hates getting his feet wet, he's a bit of a princess when it comes to water. Do you have any suggestions as to how i can overcome this obsticale? Also when he gets a cut he hates the anti-bacterial spray, anything I can do to help that? Thankyou.
Um, my horse won't go near water, even puddles freak her out, is there any way I can help her with that? I don't have any lakes around but I do have a dam
Rick, Hi I just love all of your information and I have a questions. I have a little baby filly that a friend of mine rescued. I would have never personally taken on a baby with my knowledge but due to the baby needing an immediate home I am trying my best. I work with her daily doing various things but one thing I have a little bit of an issue is picking her feet. I have her to the point where I can lift each foot but she looses her balance... any suggestions. Thank you!
@NJTammy : Help her balance, she has to learn, a horse never stands on3 feet naturally. Support her with your body, let her lean on you a bit and learn how and show her she will not fall. You may have taught her already that she can put her foot down when she wants so it will be harder now. Make sure putting down her foot is YOUR idea, that means put it down when she is not fighting or trying to put it down. My guess is you are being too gentle and she knows she does not have to.
@fallenangelscreed : The mud was thick and each step was like a jump or small buck and the saddle cinch was wet and sliding and we had just rode some miles so it was work for both of us. :)
I thought he said: that's a good way to build a relationship between you and your Porsche lol

This is a really cool idea! My mare always increases the pace when going back to the barn too.
