He Was Returned For Being "Difficult"

[@janicebourdage3567]

Trigs is so likable. Someone is going to be very lucky to have him.

[@3232siobhan]

He's so eager and sweet 🌸 what a funnily little thing he is but adorable ❤

[@sharonafshari4485]

We can’t all be the sharpest knife in the drawer. You are doing a fantastic job with him. He will be the PERFECT fit for someone ❤

[@wendy6781]

His tongue hanging out is precious. Good job with him.

[@Susan-lk6sl]

I can really appreciate the skill you’re bringing to this fellow! He is lovely and I really hope he finds the right human.

[@dalairem]

He looks terrific and like he'll come along beautifully for the adopter who will give him the positivity, time and direction he seems to respond so well to. Great work with him! 😊

[@almirakline6070]

Needs someone who understands him. 😊❤

[@camillasaietz4856]

Wow he really wants to GO! No hanging around day dreaming on his back- blink and you're off. Good thing you're a skillfull rider ❤

[@DS-ky9dl]

He seems like a sweet, very willing guy who deserves his own person to appreciate him. Best of luck Trigs.

[@lindag4484]

Trigs seems like a fun little horse. He should have no problem finding a forever home. 🐴❤

[@neelamwadhwani505]

I love the way you described Triggs and how you explained what you were doing WHILE you were doing it.

[@christinematton4125]

Trigs is adorable!! Thank you for rescuing him and taking such good care of him. Hope he finds a good home ❤

[@sueflynn9886]

I love watching you work with the horses, he is such a sweet boy. I hope you find the right family for him x

[@Dana-b2f2x]

He is handsome boy without a doubt. He just needs someone who has time and is very patient to teach him how to turn and move in motion. Hopefully someone special will teach him with love and tenderness. You do such an outstanding job with the horses.

[@jackie4286]

I really like your way of handling him, patient kind encouraging, and clear.

[@lostribe5130]

I wish I was about 14 again because I would love that horse. He looks like a blast to ride. I only rode bareback because I just didn't like saddles. Now I'm an old lady and can't ride at all.

[@rhfarmstables]

You just need the right horse!

[@lostribe5130]

@@rhfarmstables if only that were true! Busted knees and osteoporosis. My orthopedic doctor when I told him I used to ride horses and motorcycles said those are his best customers cuz they're always busted up in old age 😐

[@leanneadams2549]

@@lostribe5130I think if you really wanted to you could ride a very gentle slow horse and would love it !! I plan on riding until I can’t breathe anymore !!

[@micah06v8]

​​​@@leanneadams2549as someone who is obsessed with horses but has to use a walker to get around these days, please don't say things like this until you've been in that position. Telling someone whose body just can't anymore, that they just don't want to bad enough is just hurtful.

[@xfortunesquex]

I'm certain that there's a perfect home out there for Trigs! He seems really sweet, and looks like he likes riding. Kudos to the previous adopters for realizing that the training he needed was beyond their comfort level. Returning a rescue can be a very tough decision to make, even if it is the correct decision.

[@lostribe5130]

He looks like a good moving horse.

[@lostribe5130]

He just needs someone who really likes a nice spirited horse. Honestly surprised you got him where he stops so good!!

[@gratchets]

He might make a great cow horse. He's quick and has energy, and that gait would make riding him all day a pleasure. Love his tongue. XD We had a TB named Oleo who had a malformed tongue and would flop it out to chew on it. Rode him bitless too because of his jaw formation. Hope he finds a great home!

[@lostribe5130]

When I was a teen, I liked them all go and very little whoa.

[@heatherjohn2047]

He's So Precious ❤

[@maggiefreeman6513]

Great video. He’s beautiful. Great to see you teaching him.

[@user-wn5ow9fp6i]

❤so grateful for the way you train

[@3232siobhan]

Thanks

[@tiasims7737]

Good job to both of you!

[@annebell7274]

Triggs beautiful ❤❤❤

[@juliederry3719]

Aww bless him, he looks so cute with his tongue hanging out, I hope he finds his forever home soon, just a question for you, can a gaited horse go over jumps?, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

[@rhfarmstables]

They sure can!

[@ellenneder6094]

He is a nice horse.. the way he moves his back legs could be a Missouri fox trotter?

[@rhfarmstables]

He trots and gaits so no clue!

[@Wembleyrose]

Lovely ☺️

[@goldielion-s7f]

He's so homely he's cute! He looks like a smooth ride, but you're right, he wants to go straight and gogogo. Any idea of his breed(s)? I sure hope he finds the right home this time!

[@rhfarmstables]

No clue what he is!

[@SG-vu4qy]

Gosh he is a beautiful mover. He is beautiful, almost looks like a bit of arabian genetics there. He has great try. Fantastic job with him. What a treasured partner he is.

[@KaitlyntheGardener]

❤❤❤

[@stardust949]

What happened with Whinney? You made a short post about an emergency vet visit---but no follow up.

[@rhfarmstables]

She's still recovering, trying to keep her appetite

[@kristawilson718]

What kind of gait is he? Is he Foxtrotter or Tennessee Walker blood? I don't see Tennessee qualities tho, maybe foxtrotter? In looking at him, he's looking more of a Foxtrotter. ❤🐎❤️

[@rhfarmstables]

No clue! Some kind of mix because he trots and gaits

[@kristawilson718]

@rhfarmstables look into the foxtrotter breed on the internet. If he is, he will be more valuable to have!

[@sabine701]

[@gusloader123]

RH Farm & Rescue: Hello. He has an interesting way of moving. Maybe some Tennessee Walker mixed with some Missouri Fox Trotter and a dose of Heinz 57 horse. You and he get along well, especially since you are using only a halter and robe reins. I like your style. My Grandpa used to use a 3-foot long 2x4 to disciple horses. I hated that method. Much better the way you operate. Talk to them, pet them, reward them with snacks. Hope he gets a home. My first bridle /headstall for my horse was leather and the bit was the straight shanked U.S. Cavalry bit from way back. {I was in 6th grade when I got that horse. He and I were both "green". Then we tried a snaffle and that was horrible! No control, and downright scary trying to get him to stop running. My Dad showed a drawing / sketch of a mechanical hackamore to the plant engineer / welder / maintenance man, at the meat plant where my dad was an Inspector, and the man made us a mechanical hackamore from some scrap metal. I and my Heinz 57 horse used it for years. No mouthpiece. On the front was a bolt with threads and a nut that could be adjusted inward or outward for more pressure on the nose of the horse (for stopping or backing up.) The reins connected to a lever which was also the "chin strap" (like a "Curb bit"). That worked better than mouthpiece bits.

[@rhfarmstables]

my goodness what a contraption!

[@gusloader123]

[@tracyphillips6027]

Is this a Missouri Fox Trotter?

[@rhfarmstables]

We're unsure, but unlikely

[@lavenderpatch5031]

He just wanted to come back to you.

[@kristawilson718]

Is he getting enough exercise?

[@lostribe5130]

Is he in any danger of biting his own tongue?

[@rhfarmstables]

Nope!

[@sherrileeslade6557]

Is he a foxtrotter by any chance? If so I would love to give him a home

[@rhfarmstables]

We don't know! You can fill out an application on our website though

[@peony4954]

What a beautiful, responsive little horse! He is a wonderful little mover, even if a little “eager” 😅. You look wonderful riding him and I love your kind and patient method. A fantastic demo of how well it works! 🤗

[@sherrileeslade6557]

He moves like a foxtrotter that's why I asked I've owned foxtrotters since I was a child and I am now in my late 50s I will let you know that in order to slow a fox trotter down a bosal will work well with them​@@rhfarmstables
