Great video! But I just want to correct the common misconception of what people think negative reinforcement is. Negative reinforcement is NOT disciplining the wrong behaviour. Negative reinforcement is when you reward the good behaviour by REMOVING a negative stimulus. Example when you want your horse to move forward you apply pressure (negative stimulus) and then when the horse moves you reward them by removing the pressure. Both positive and negative reinforcement are very necessary methods of training horses but are used in different situations! :)

[@mistei5148]

I'm so glad someone said this, I was going to otherwise. There is a huge difference between correction and negative reinforcement. A classic example of negative reinforcement is pressure and release. Positive reinforcement, you are giving something as a reward. Negative reinforcement you are removing something (like pressure) as the reward.

Great video! Love that you explained that difference between drugs and suppliments. I worked in research and too many people don't know about that. This was a great video!

Align your equine chakras. It was the mention of carrot stretches. I thought of yoga. Horse yoga.

[@equineguru08]

Where is the link to the articles dr Lydia was talking about for the joint research?

[@smartpak]

Hi equineguru08! Thanks for your question. The links to the research are updated in the link in the video, but you can also find them right here! The first article she mentions titled, "The effect of MSM on biomarkers of oxidative stress in sport horses following jumping exercise" can be found here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2586020/ The research done by Larry Bramlage and others can be found here: www.researchgate.net/publication/6920476_Oral_hyaluronan_gel_reduces_post_operative_tarsocrural_effusion_in_the_yearling_Thoroughbred Hope this helps! - SmartPaker Nels

(#AskTheVetVideo Feeding oats: the do's and don'ts? What are the benefits/downsides of feeding them? ) My grandparents fed them as I was growing up, and all of their horses were top performers and never had any issues. I still currently feed them, and like the benefits of being more natural, my horses are also on free choice loose minerals along with free choice hay, and pasture (weather permitting)

My horse is older n hers is opposite it's forward

[@henriettaharrold6113]

I share a 18 year old cob. She loves to jump and we having been doing it for about 3 months now. She also loves to gallop. When she is walking, trotting etc it is visible that her front legs click back? As in, she puts her foot down, then it goes under her belly, but when her leg is under her and straight? It almost clicks ? Don't know if that makes any sense but hey. She is also on supplements that are for her joints because she a bit old.

when you get the hormone out of the system, the growths plates close when they naturally should.... but wouldn't it be more natural for them to close at the enhanced rate since being a stallion is a natural thing and gelding is not natural?

[@chloemiles8108]

#AsktheVetVideo My mare is quite chubby, but we are going into winter and don't have an indoor arena. She only gets a small handful of grain to get her supplements and 2 flakes of hay if they come in at night. Otherwise shes out 24/7 on pasture. How can i get her weight down?

[@faith.2392]

That moment when my mare has the “stallion presence”... I’ve been asked on multiple occasions if she’s a stud 🤣

The inoculation process for a cat geting 2nd rabies vacine ...and how many vets are on call

[@jessicalmcdaniel9878]

Depends on what state you are in and their laws for rabies vaccine. In NC- first rabies given between 12-16 weeks, then a booster one year later, then every 3 years after that unless exposure- then booster like if they get in a cat fight with a feral cat etc

Clicker training literally saved my horse's life.

[@re-ridersuzanne]

Pavlov's clicker!😂😂😂

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

Hmmm, use this on people that are unaware they're being conditioned to do something.

[@kathleenharris3711]

If you ask a vet who works for a supplement company...expect them to say oral supplements work great lol

[@jacqueline_8443]

why does my horse eat his poop he gets fed everyday but he still attends to eat his poop #askthevetvideo

[@re-ridersuzanne]
