BULLFIGHTING HORSE TO SHOW HORSE UPDATE

[@Elbylicious]

any horse when Jesse is around: get's kissed

[@trishkerry1549]

What a lovely attitude towards training “it doesnt matter if it goes right or wrong , we don’t have to worry about that” . Love it!!!

[@anna_mitchell2139]

That’s the attitude I try to have but sometimes I get frustrated and the best thing to do I’m that moment is to take a break for the horse and you so you can take your time after you’ve taken a break:)

The idea of a 'panic piaffe' made me giggle though. Like he thinks: 'O no, something startles me... let's piaffe.'

[@SobrietyandSolace]

I knew a horse that would piaffe when you tried to go in and rug her because she wanted to go out which was cute but made rugging, not getting trampled or run into the door a bit difficult sometimes

[@pinkimietz3243]

Hahahaha! ☺️❤️Yes. That's cute.

[@WAHiDyoureMYlive]

"He opens his mouth like he is in the McDonald's" 😂😂😂😂😂 Jesse you're killing me. Very good work with him. He seems so much more comfortable with you. You're doing soooo amazing and your attitude is what the world needs.

[@jonwoodbury4581]

Jesse has that special touch. The Horses just want to try for him. It's fun to watch !

[@dorothyd.6506]

I am so impressed how far he has come in a year. Your patience, reassurance, and thoughtful training has allowed him to heal and trust again. Your work with him is so uplifting. I'm so happy for him and for you. Thank you, Jesse. 🧡

[@Claire11elliott]

Agreed! His whole body has loosened up and he is way more collected.

[@isabelvellauni9443]

I love your relationship with him. He is happy, proud, he trusts you and wants to please you. Lovely especially considering what he came from. He is a resilient chap.

[@user-lj4of3kb4i]

That horse look's way more confortable from when you just had him, he looks less stressed, thats' pretty incredible, congratulations, i wish more horse people would be like you

[@kellylawrence9438]

He really is just trying to work. He's trying to read you but he's just a bit confused. You two looks spectacular together. You can tell he is a THINKER! He's looking around for what's coming next. Waiting for the bull to come out. Great job on relaxing him. It's really going well. Proud of you and him. Go boys 💪💙

[@lindag3330]

Bullfighting is a cruel treatment of animals. The handlers torture the bull before it enters the arena and then it is stabbed repeatedly until it dies. Horses often get badly injured, sometimes gored. I hope you don't support cruel treatment of animals.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

@@lindag3330 At no point is she saying anything about supporting bullfighting, just that Gaio's previous occupation has a bearing on the way he thinks. Also don't assume that people are so ignorant that they don't know what bullfighting entais and that they have to be told it is cruel; that's a no brainer. Go educate people on factory farming because that's one of those things where a chunk of the population wouldn't believe such operations are legal.

[@lindag3330]

@@SobrietyandSolace At some point it can be though, how it is used in the sentence (normalised). Many people are ignorant about what happens during bullfighting and other related events where bulls are used (rodeos, running away from bulls etc - all include torture). But of course not necessarily her, so I changed the comment above. Factory farming is of course terrible, but bullfighting is as well.

[@adriel7540]

@@lindag3330 Stop assuming ignorance in others by being ignorant yourself.

[@lindag3330]

@@adriel7540 Please read the comment above again. It can easily be read that it normalized bullfighting. Nothing wrong in pointing that out. Please don't be rude to people on the internet. I don't believe you would speak rudely to anyone to their face. That is what I believe. Have a nice day

[@lauriekowing1653]

Bareback riding is a good way to train the horse so it can feel so much more of what you are asking it to do.It's always better to get a horse to do things he wants to do for you rather than forcing them to do it. I like your style!

[@carolinebravehurricane1473]

He is a really lucky horse! Jesse is a REALLY good horse trainer!!!

[@kalayne6713]

Thank you Jesse for saving this horse from the horror of the bullfighting world. It's not just the bulls who are tortured. Anyone who enjoys the bullfighting culture is very unconscious in my opinion. I feel sick reading of the 'beauty' of the dance between matador and bull. BS is more like it. You are a great horseman, taking time, letting the horse just be. Stunning, both of you.

[@Pollycoleman-t6r]

Gaio is so gorgeous!! I love seeing you working with him! I would be happy to be your horse! You’re the best Jesse. 😊

[@Pollycoleman-t6r]

I love to see you working and playing with Gaio! You are wonderfully patient.

[@colleen113]

What a good boy! I think Giao is one of the most beautiful horses I have ever seen..

[@marianstroup1]

What a magnificent horse Jesse. He really tries hard for you. That's love

[@bkm2797]

Gaio's coloration is stunning, black against a golden tan, can't do better than that. Jesse, Gaio is coming along quite nicely, Thanks for taking us along.

[@romyhooijberg1475]

This is what good horsemanship is. Respect for the horse and not pushing it to do something it doesn't want. Absolute beautifull horse.

[@mdee860]

He is gorgeous! Love his dark golden coat against his black mane, tail & sox So nice that after you have your session in the arena - you reward Gaio with a nice walk in the sunshine! ☀️🌞☀️ You could see he was SO happy. Yaaay to bareback & bitless!

[@elenabelletti61]

Dear Jesse, I find your love for horses truly deep and sincere. Thank you for what you do for Gaio, this horse deserves peace and love. Greetings from Italy, Elena.

[@RoryRulan]

This is the reason I continue to fight for animal rights. To see how a safe environment brings out the magic of this beautiful creature. That should be everyone's motivation to treat animals better then you did yesterday. 👏👏

[@Jgirr5]

Well said!

[@klaudia711]

*animal welfare 😉. Animal rights activists are against all animal ownership/exploitation (including zoos, horseback riding, eating meat etc)

[@RoryRulan]

@@klaudia711 "Animals rights" because we are about to change the law. So when I mean "rights" I mean it as in "human rights". We want to raise the bar so high that they become equal. Human and animal rights. ( Me, personally, are against zoos, riding, eating meat etc but with some restrictions.)

[@RoryRulan]

@@nala3055 Under the current situation there have been noticed that zoo animals actually thrived better and was more relaxed without people visiting the zoos. There are other ways zoo can work but without the people going there and stressing the animals. There are not enough zoo's that actually prevent and preserve the animals and for that they all shall be banned. If the ratio was higher and a lot of changes to have the animals well being as number one most important priority ( NOT the human) then maybe. But sadly, we are far from it.

[@DarrinsDaffs]

What everybody else is saying… I love this horse. He is so funny. He's come such a long way. Jesse is doing all the right things. 😍😍😍

[@janiceellis7647]

The love and compassion you show at all times is the essence of loving kindness. And you are always in "beginner's mind." so lovely. You are a role model. You are God's gift to Gaio. I love how you consistently settle him and then ask for a new or slightly stressful thing. He gets to try it at his own pace and you let him determine what he can handle. Question Jesse... Do you think he is enjoying the work overall? Even if he tenses occasionally? Oh yea, Hi Emporio.

[@inquisitiveWA]

I love your attitude to your horses. The bond you have with them is fantastic. Your horse is beautiful.

Wow! He has really come a long way. He also looks very healthy. His coat and body tone are excellent. He does get a bit bunched up in the body when he gets anxious. You are doing an excellent job of taking him along slowly. I love his facial expressions when you tried to give him a treat! What an incredible opportunity for both of you. I'm excited to watch his transformation over time. I also want a compliment to you on your English. You are doing so well with that.😄 I'm a teacher of English language Learners so I understand the difficulties in searching for words in your first language and trying to translate them into a second language. Sometimes it's just easier to show us! :-)
