Omgosh his reaction to the mirror! Classic. Tuckers a good soul.

[@Tigertown]

Hi, I think we can all agree that she is one of the best people to understand and talk too. She is such a wonderful trainer!❤️

[@Luandpenny]

Yes!

[@pfftxoxo1502]

I wouldn’t go that far 💀

[@Luandpenny]

@@pfftxoxo1502 Ok. Explain yourself the … go on. We’re waiting.

[@pfftxoxo1502]

@@Luandpenny literaly every single one of her “training tutorials” are useless. The entirety of her training is based on dominance which has been scientifically disproven MULTIPLE times. She bases her training methods on the notion that horses have a developed pre-frontal cortex and therefore can understand the concept of respect which is again, false. As much as you may like her, her training methods are extremely outdated. This isn’t a debate on +R and -R as both have a place in training, this is about refusing to acknowledge the concept of dominance is wrong (and this is not my opinion it’s a literal scientific fact which you will find hundreds of articles on and real world examples of both domesticated horses and horses in the wild. It’s literally the structure of their brain). Until she acknowledges she is misinforming a young impressionable audience I would not call her a wonderful trainer.

[@Luandpenny]

@@pfftxoxo1502 They are not useless I have used so many! She is amazing and helps me all the time

[@juliecrandall1534]

I wanted to get a small brush for grooming my horse’s face. I found the perfect soft brush at the Dollar Tree in the baby section for just $1.25, as opposed to the inflated prices at the farm stores or tack shops.

[@imzadi83fanvids7]

I never thought of a baby brush, that's a great idea! A small baby brush would also look less intimidating when approaching their face. I'll have to get one for the school horse I ride, she doesn't like her face brushed normally and it's difficult to do it with a larger brush anyway.

[@WildLilyHorsemanship]

A barn I stayed at used cheapo training potties to lift trot poles. They had a slight lip on both sides that prevented the poles from rolling off. I thought it was brilliant!

[@imzadi83fanvids7]

Ooh I wonder if you could paint his white spots black and somehow make him look like a chocolate chip cookie, lol. Non-toxic chalk (including the sidewalk chalk) can be used to dye fur as well. Though it's lighter and probably best on grey horses or white spots. I've never used it on a horse, but I know people have. It worked great on my dog. You forgot candy canes. After Christmas these are often discounted. You have to check ingredients to make sure the kind you are getting are horse safe, but if they are it's a great time to stock up on cheap horse treats. I've heard some horses like Peeps too and they can also be found at the Dollar Tree.

[@Erica-B]

I have that exact Dollar Tree caddy! I used mine in this past show season to keep small important items at hand like sunscreen, Chapstick, safety pins, bobby pins, a little hairbrush, a pen, a folded up class list, a mini first aid, kit, bug spray, an energy bar and some drink mix, packets.

[@nozee77]

I love most of those ideas! Just two things I'd like to mention: Most baby shampoos have a ph of around 7.0 for them not to sting in the babys eyes. Too alkaline for the needs of horses skin though. Horse shampoos usually have a ph around 6.3, which is catered much better to the ph of horses skin. It is a widespread misconception that baby shampoos beeing gentle to babys equals beeing gentle to horses skin as well. Not the same. 😉 Secondly: a girl at our barn used to use similar plastic pots for raising trot poles off the ground. One day her horse accidentally stepped on it and it broke. One of the plastic shards penetrated the soft white line of the horses hoof quiet deeply and it got really ugly. The vet had to remove it and the horse was lame for a while because an abscess formed inside of the hoof. Just wanted to get it out there, obviously every horse owner has to decide for themself what to do and what not. 🙂

[@EquineHelper]

These are good points to take into consideration, thanks!

[@horsingaround6447]

I use baby pottys to lift trot poles

[@bethanys-herd]

That mirror trick looks brilliant though! Just carefully, so not to spook 😂

[@Noodleeee3]

I recently started leasing a horse! I would like to have my own brush box and brushes. This is an amazing cheap way to get my own stuff! Thank you so much!!!

[@miagennaios9344]

The mirror was so funny! Tucker is such a character! I have got to try that with my horse! He’s a draft cross, and is not that bright so he probably won’t even notice the reflection 😂

[@lisastreasures]

Tucker is such a sweet boy. Enjoyed this vid. Thanks Carmella 🩷

[@todiann27]

I was there today and picked up a bristle brush to get the caked mud off of his legs and feet, and some castor oil for his mane and tail. Love the dollar store!

[@hughesfamily1087]

CAN YOU SHARE HOMEMADE FLY SPRAY!? TIA!

[@raybow5353]

I have 4 of those scoops and the lil shower caddy thing. love them. Great post!!! Love the dollar store

[@mels.crybaby22]

Definitely using this if I get a horse when I (maybe) move

[@Alainah.G.M]

Also those orange buckets even though there small you can put one hoof in the bucket it kinda like a small little pool for a kid

[@Laina_and_Forrest]

I use furniture risers for the raised poles they have a curve so the pole sits in them

[@HeavensGateHorsemanship]

I get my sponges at dollar tree and I also have the hooks for my tack.

[@December_Horse]

Thanks for your videos Camilla. Ive learnt so much with the help of your vids.

[@horseygirl645]

Please share your recipe for fly spray. Thank you 🤟

[@AlisEquine]

Use a pair of thin floves put the reusable glove over it if its directly on your hand youll sweat and could get frostbite

[@EmilyO9411]

I love the dollar tree! Thank you for this video!

[@CowprintNJesus]

Hey!! You mentioned growing ruokes mane out, and I wanted to let you know that BioMane grows my mares hair out really well!!

[@Kara_Jez]

Great video. Every penny saved when you have a horse is SO important. Fantastic ideas.

[@ocean12]

Tuckee is awesome!

[@BAE708]

I love your videos. You are my favorite KZbinr. You always make nice, helpful and very interesting videos. I love your videos. You've helped me in lot of trainings.

[@TheThreeScoots]

You are my FAV horse KZbinr! You always make interesting videos!

[@renasmith4123]

Some really great ideas, thank you , new sub.

[@callikohl5698]

How do you make your own fly spray? That would be useful.

[@divewithbob]

Great stuff!🎉

[@IZZYYYYYYYYYYYYYY_]

These are some great ideas! where did you guy the horse treats in the first hack?

[@johnbradley8417]

Another great useful video. Good job Carmella TY

[@rebekah5429]

Best video hack! Thank you!!!

[@pmwieland]

I like the dollar stores, but I also like to buy made in the usa products

[@danielameservie10]

I have the same bibs!!

[@Mr_Horse_Lover]

Mr Horse Lover ❤️

[@erinrae5119]

I tried rubber gloves under my regular gloves this winter and it did not work for me. My fingers were sooooo much colder.

[@TaylorParnell]

OMG LOVE THIS AND YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE FROM ISRAEL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-dk7wi2ug3c]

I wish there was a dollar tree in Australia 🇦🇺

[@tonysansom]

At current exchange rates, the AU $ is worth US 65 cents which would make an Ausralian store much harder to stock with worthwhile items. Even the US $1.25 that Camilla was talking about would still be less than AU 85 cents.

[@ashanathibideau1870]

So doing this

[@PaisleyDwyer]

999th like 🥰 Love your videos!!

[@carmencota6486]

If you can talk about how to get my horse to stop biting.

[@EmilyO9411]

This question doesn't have much to do with this video, but since it's your most recent I'm putting it here so hopefully you'll see it. If I am bringing home a horse alone, and it won't have a companion for awhile, is that okay? I'm just worried that he'll get lonely. What should I do?

[@EmilyO9411]

Thanks for the video by the way Carmella! I love your channel!

[@Serene182]

It should be fine. Just consider getting him a companion when you are ready

[@deannemagruder4588]

😍

[@luanndavis-jindela3223]

😮

[@madduck2323]

My horse likes to see himself in a mirror.

[@featherkitty50]

I'm staying away from plastic. (we are eating micro plastics & chemicals in the plastic) A Metal tin would be better. Also mice & rats can chew right thru that! Lol.

[@epona9166]

I love your channel and hate to nitpick but the skin pH of humans and horses is not the same. In fact it doesn't even overlap. Humans are around 4.7 -- 5.7. Horses are 7.0 -- 7.4. Idk how important that is, but worth noting. Now that I think about it, I've heard people use Mane and Tail horse shampoo/conditioner on themselves so what do I know?? 😂

[@lynnm.kleingardner8640]

😅

[@Emma._.eventing]

Make sure to be so so so careful with the hooks watched a horse lose an eye due to it

[@Equestrai]

First! Pin? ❤❤ ilysm

[@joannesmartens9442]

I see you start like working equitation with the cones😅 Many things are really cheap. And like their name says : dollar store, and not 1 dollar😅 so it can be even 100$😅

[@katydidnt3906]

Great hacks, but I wouldn't trust paint from China to be non-toxic 🙄

[@ksojerio]

Mice will chew thru plastic

[@terryhey6730]

A "hack" is actually a pleasure ride on a horse...or a cheaply hired employee. I am tired of the misuse of this word. The word you want is "tips" or "hints" or "tricks". Our understanding of language is deteriorating alarmingly

[@lucyequestrian123]

Language adapts by human use of it; the American “hack” means a tip or trick, the British (and some parts of America) “hack” is a trail ride or pleasure ride.

[@tjjurake3506]

The evolution of language is intersesting. It seems that a lot of words are used incorrectly these days. We live in a time where penmanship is obsolete and no one can spell because software does that for you. No one cares to be corrected. I agree with you. Our language is deteriorating. Why talk when you can text?
