Be careful using undiluted vinegar. It is acidic and can burn skin. It may be uncomfortable for your horse.

Won't the horse get sick if he or she licks the baby oil? And what about the vinegar can horses get sick if they lick the vinegar off their legs?

I don't think the amount they'd lick off would make any difference to a horse given their size, especially that neither of those things are poisonous :))

i’ve never had a horse, although i’ve been able to pet a few and been able to watch them in Central Park or with mounted police. i’ve watched lots of YT videos cause i like to look at horses and learn about them. (OMG - i once saw a male horse pee. i was absolutely gobsmacked. it was like a hose being turned on full force. so now i know :) anyway, finding out about the head touching training was a complete surprise. now i’ll be even more careful when i pet a horse in Central Park (NYC). :)🐎🐴🌷🌱

I am trying to teach my 11 year old mare this and although she is full of running energy, she does not respond to my cues with the crop to her legs or belly. She merely stands there. She is incredibly intelligent but also stubborn. Is there any suggestions for me on this?
@varvara_L
@varvara_L 6 ай бұрын
You could try to apply more pressure. For example tap her leg a bit harder. I mean, I get that this sounds kind cruel but on the other hand, if you think about how horses comunicate in nature that’s exactly what they do. Like if horse A wants horse B to move they’ll start by pinning their ears (the equivalent to you slightly tapping their leg). If horse B doesn’t move horse A will bite them (equivalent to you using more pressure). And next time horse A decides to move horse B, no pain will be involved as horse B will move as soon as horse A pins their ears
@EquiNerdVlog
@EquiNerdVlog 6 ай бұрын
Hi Megan, I agree with @varvara_L's comment, you should be focusing on teaching your horse to move away from pressure and gradually refining your cues. I'd need to know more about your mare to give you the best advice, like does she easily lead with a head collar/back up or how is she to lunge? You could try working on these basic things first to make sure she understands how pressure and release works before moving on to more complex work, but as @varvara_L said, you might have to slightly up the pressure in the beginning in order to make her respect your cues. Hope this helps 😊

Why would you keep a horse if you don't love and maintain it?
@EquiNerdVlog
@EquiNerdVlog Жыл бұрын
Very valid question.. A lot of neglect is sporn out of ignorance, financial difficulties or the owner becoming mentally/physically ill and no longer able to take care of their horse(s) but would rather hold onto their animals than give them up to the authorities. I'm starting a new job soon as a field officer, so will probably come across cases like this over the coming years. An exciting part of the job is to educate owners to prevent horses suffering in the first place, something that we can all do more of to eventually make a big difference :)

How a horse walks changes how the hoof grows. Some horses will accommodate excess growth, meaning it doesn’t get worn down and continues to grow. I’ve also seen unhandled or wild horses who have shockingly normal looking hooves. Individual horses have very different hooves- some are really hard and others are soft.

These are great but i have one thing to say about the last info. A horse with white markings (pinto or appaloosa) doesn't have to be AA/Aa. A is the agouti gene which is there to distribute red coloration. The base coat is EE, Ee or ee. ee being cnestnut (no black) and the others being black or bay depending on the agouti gene. A black horse has no red distribution so it is EE or Ee with aa. A bay horse is EE or Ee with AA or Aa. And a chestnut horse is ee with AA or Aa or aa. Thats just the base color. Then there are the white marking genes. Any horse with white markings (not just head and legs) has at least on copy of a pinto or appaloosa gene. So a horse with leopard spots has at least one copy of the leopard appaloosa gene. Max is 2 copies for anything. A horse with big white splotches could be tobiano, overo, splash, etc. Careful though when breeding to overo horses together. One copy of the overo gene is fine. But if a horse is born with both copies it results in the lethal white syndrom where the foal dies withing a few hours/days after birth due to a gi track defect. Hope this helps a bit. I find it really fascinating😅

Hi and thank you for your very elaborate comment! You're absolutely right and I can see how my explanation is confusing, especially to someone who is knowledgeable about equine genetics like yourself. The explanation in this video doesn't intend to go into the details of which genes make up which coat color - we have another video covering that on the channel - but simply gives an example of what dominant genes look like in general, i.e. AA/Aa. Not referring to the Agouti gene here specifically, it's just an example. You can also see I used BB/Bb which we know doesn't code for black, it's only meant to illustrate very simplistically that the two genes in question - one coding for a spotting pattern and one for a base coat color - are separate. Hope that makes sense!

@EquiNerdVlog
@EquiNerdVlog Жыл бұрын
It is possible to hear a horse belch on rare occasions, especially if a vet has recently passed a nasogastric tube through the junction of the esophagus and the stomach. It's not a normal occurence though, and horses that belch repeatedly should be examined by a vet as they may be suffering from colic.

Most horses that I have ever owned or known will naturally grow their Mane on both sides unless it is trained (Constantly brushed or even cut right back and trained from the start) to go to the accepted side(usually the right side) some horses manes will be predominately falling on one side or the other and it is easier to train the smaller side of course, I have never seen any horse where the mane naturally fell all to one side without any human intervention I didn't realize that horses have a stronger side like Humans, but it does make sense, why wouldn't they? I know in horse racing some horses prefer to race clockwise while others prefer to race anti clockwise but the vast majority will handle both ways with equal efficiency
