My New Horse kicked my kid Please help - Advice Part 1 - Rick Gore Horsemanship

http://www.thinklikeahorse.org/
- This is part 1 of 2. I got a question from a lady that bought a horse, believed what she told about the horse, gave the horse to her 15 year old daughter, the horse reared and kicked the kid and she wants to know how it should take a trainer to fix the horse........ As I have said 100 times, there are not horse problems only people problems. I talk about all the mistakes with this scenario and how this horse is being set up to fail. - View this video on the lack of standards and ethics of trainers worldwide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqcLADsOA0c - Here is the email of the whining lady that asked this questions: terry bly" chevmaster312@msn.com, she decided to write me and whine and cry about how I had this all wrong her kid is really good and it is not a respect issue. OMG, I am so tired of trying to help idiots. She writes me for help and now wants to tell me I have it wrong and her kid is really good with horses and it is not her fault or the horse's fault. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE ANSWER. Feel free to contact her with your advice maybe she will get some she likes.

It's interesting just listening to the things you have to say, I wouldn't say you talk to much as you talk just enough :)

Keep up the engaging videos and hopefully those who view can gain a thing or two, I can confidently say that my perspective on horses and the "horse world" has completely changed and I think for the better.

That lady is an idiot! Leo is very cute. I have grown up with horses, at least 13 in a barn at one point (aint got any more now) but some of my friends tell me of how their horse kicked them or bite or thrown them off. And I was like WOW, when i was a kid i could've gone into the field like you they wouldn't have done a thing. Even our Arabian stallion was gentle as a lamb.

10ish in, right after you told the problem, I'm like... Why didn't you do ground work with the horse first? Do something, anything to get to know the horse and how it responds BEFORE you put your ass on it.

This is the first time I can remember seeing you out in the field with a bunch of horses. I learned a lot from watching the interactions. Common sense, but I probably wouldn't have thought of it without having watched this.

@mustangsthree an hour for a lube job....I see you use book time, lol. I used to build engines, so I know where your coming from. Nice to hear from another horseperson, who is also a mechanic! I felt so alone, lol...Why can't ppl understand that horses are not objects, each horse is different, they have moods and personalities just like us. All this plays a factor in how much time it takes, not to mention the method used, and the handler themselves...their level of skill and knowledge...

I always thought I was putting human feelings to my geldings affection...but I see he isn't the only one that protects his owner, and steals all the loving for himself....lol

As for you talking to much...I love it...it's not like you start talking politics or baseball...it is always still about horsemanship, and all the wrong ppl do...it is still educational, even if you go off topic sometimes...sometimes the off topic, is more helpful, than what you set out to do...

that mare looked just like buddy....

[mustangsthree]

Its the mechanic mentality 3 hours for a brake job 1 hour for an oil and lube rearing problems take 4 hours.....

Hi Rick,

I just went to this place (it wasn't a show) and they were lunging a horse. The man kept hitting the horse HARD in the flank, legs, and face with the whip. The man hit the horse again and the horse jumped up and collied with the metal coral. My horse is really lazy and stuff and doesnt want to move unless we are on a trail. I want to lunge her but dont want to do what this man (see above) did with his horse. Got any tips about making her move without hurting her and scaring her :)

i love your laugh

I am so thankful for my group of horses. They are so nice to be around. I love watching the geldings play. What you said is so true. If a horse goes to the trainer the horse may just act the same when it comes home. because horses read people. Thats why it is so important to let green horses be with lots of experienced people. Because when they test they learn solid boundaries. I love horses. I love bratty horses. Cause they r so fun to teach. I love how they r so willing to learn.
