the horse looks young good WORK how old is he/she

[BabyHiggs999]

that horse is not trained very well. good idea to groom a trained horse in the video, as it will show people you are a good horse owner and can handle your horses. otherwise they may find it hard to trust your advice.

ooooo fisty. loks like someone doesnt want there hoofs picked!

[Thatdreamcat]

@horsesarecutee the second nose band is supposed to close the horses mouth and for the throat latch you can also fit it so you can fit a fist through it... It depends on your preference!

[horsesarecutee]

that second nose band was shutting the horses mouth.

Plus it 2 fingers not a hand

I remember, we had a horse for livery once and I had to tack her up, as her owner was 'busy'. I went to tack her up, and myself and the horse argued about getting the bridle on. I eventually managed, using a nifty treat. -.o
