I got this collar for my guy. The other horses bite and pull at it as well as he shakes his head or rubs it and it spins around. I have it fairly snug. How tight is too tight? I keep tightening it to keep it on correctly but I just keep finding it on top of his head. I will add he didn’t wear it when there was grass but now that we have 2 1/2 feet of snow he started eating the trees and cribbing more when coming up to the barn instead of eating hay. Then he went off his feed and I suspected he might be getting ulcers and well as had a mild colic a few nights so I put the collar on him for now. I think it is hard for him to wear it as our horses have the option to come into the stall or not so they are always out and about. They live out 24/7 but play with each other and they try and play halter tag with the darn collar ugh 😩

Muito bom show

Muito bom esta dica 👍

Your the 1st person I've ever seen who has a giant cactus growing in his arena, lol.

What kind of machine is that?

I like it.

The art of running leather through a cutter. Lol

I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes. My native language is German, not English. Almost every horse starts cribbing because of stomach and/or gut problems, which are caused by: - stress due to training/sporting events - wheaning as a foal - not enough hay (in the wild horses graze up to 18 hours a day, because their stomachs produce acid 24/7) - bad quality hay - feeding the wrong things (too much grain, sweet feed, ...) - stress with other horses - standing in a small box all day (stress, because their natural needs aren`t met: exercise, social contact, grazing, ...) - stress through pain caused by injury or illness.... - ... In the end, it comes down to horses developing stomach problems, mostly ulcers, through bodily or psychological stress. They start cribbing to stimulate the production of saliva, which they then swallow to dilute their stomach acid. The acid and the saliva basically counteract each other. In the beginning it`s purely a bodily dependence, but it turns into a psychological dependence/addiction, because cribbing also causes the brain to release Dopamin. So, in the end, almost every horse cribs because it has PAIN, or had PAIN at some point in time!!! They may need cribbing as a bodily or mental relief!!! Also, the cribbing usually DOESN`T cause colic or stomach ulcers. It`s the other way round. The stomach ulcers or gut problems cause(d) the cribbing. ---- My horse cribs as well. And yes, I hate it just as much as everybody else. The sound is awful, he is grinding down his teeth and the fence posts. But, at one point in time, he needed cribbing as a relief and now it is an addiction. I would never use an anti-cribbing collar! Ever! Instead of treating what causes/d the cribbing in the first place, you are just treating the symptoms and steal a horse that one little bit of bodily or mental relief it has. I can`t tell others NOT TO USE an anti-cribbing collar. And I won`t. But I hope some of you might at least consider to look deeper into this topic and help your horse in other ways too, for example changing/improving their living arrangement, changing their feed, feeding more hay, check and treat for stomach ulcers, ...

Why are you using a harsh long shank bit?

i absolute love this training tools, i bought the cord ones. the funny thing is that the horses i ride pretty much are over 16 hand high horse, and i use the normal one that you can order online and they work just has good as anything i used before. i also use a gag bit with them

i have three horses to start after taking a year off from training. never used a german martingale, but was going to use one as a training aid for my first time. after researching these tools, i am going to purchase this instead and try this out. this video was the deciding factor between the two. i have been training and riding and competing both western and english for over 20 years, and i am a firm believer of self education as the horse training world is always making progression. thank you
