It's simultaneously endearing and frustrating when you get a new horse and discover amazing "buttons" you didn't know were installed but weren't asking for

[@JFHorsemanship]

So true!

[@bdoyle6668]

That must be a bit 'exciting'. A bit like buying a family car and getting a F1, I imagine. 😀

Mine is trained to spin super fast like the reigning horses. I ride english so everytime my trainer ask for a turn on the haunches I just make a silent prayer that my girl won't go Mach Jesus 🙃

[@elizabethbottroff1218]

Such a sweet face. Looking at you, "is this what you want?"

[@heehoopeanut420]

Yep. Went on a faux fox hunt (no foxes were harmed, the fox was just a dude on a horse with a 15 minute head start) and let me tell you, no one warned me that my sweet pony was a former barrel racer, and stopped on a dime, leaving me in the grass approximately 10ft in front of him with a newly sprained elbow😂

[@Flashwink1786]

This happened to me, I got a new horse for my 12th birthday and the owner said the previous owner had him trained real well. Well, I get on this thing and start to get comfortable, I get him on a good trot and as soon as the “w” syllable in “woah” left my lips he was rock solid and I was flying over his head😂😂

[@horsevoyeur7361]

Watched a video where a rider just wanted to trot around the arena but the horse kept piaffing LOL

[@Tenebrisvis]

I don't think there is anything wrong with teaching them tricks and I don't think there's anything wrong with using it as a way for them to release tension because it's what they know horses find comfort in what they know so if he's stressed going back to this can help sooth his brain...

[@JohnaFactsDontCare...]

Let that boy get his groove on! Seriously I got a horse who's been taught to sit like a dog and open the gate. Very frustrating that she lets all the horses into my garden

[@melanielatham5665]

Makes me think that a whip has been used on those legs at some time 🥹. That horse is beautiful 🥰

[@Saltyanddone]

Horses who have a lot of buttons tend to have a lot of miss communications especially when they have a new handler, he doesn't look stressed or like he's being forced, he's just trying to please Crops aren't just used for beating babe If you think that then you shouldn't use one

[@jackiecampbell8018]

This whip is just an extension of his of his arm as a training tool. It is not used to cause pain.

[@melanielatham5665]

@@Saltyanddone I certainly don’t use one.! Thankyou for pointing that out to people who are less experienced than perhaps you and I 🙄

[@Vincent.Valentine.]

Please educate yourself before making comments. The whip is used as an extension of his arm. Its used as a focus. If you think it's used to hurt, then you need to do some research. Comments like yours can harm good trainers with uninformed opinions.

[@sanmat1099]

I agree. I have seen training videos where the horse is whipped mercilessly to make him pick his feet up like that. Shameful.

[@MegF142857]

That's why I have never taught my horses any of those tricks with my clicker training. They will offer things & didn't want them offering a leg out. Instead we just do "stand quietly" while I put medicine in your eye & clean your sheath & whatever. Things that are practical to help a horse understand what we need to work together. Stand for the hoof trimmer even when your stifles hurt from arthritis is a good trick! No need for Spanish walks.

[@ashtynmarkus3899]

Hey Meg! How do you train your horse to stand for the farrier when they’re sore? I’ve been having to give my girl dorm gel otherwise she’ll really express herself and it’s no fun for anyone especially her and the farrier

If you got to use a whip, then I’m not down

[@laxxla]

It's used as an aid and indicator, not to beat the horse. People make assumptions and judgements far too quickly.

[@meredithcondon2375]

@@laxxla it being involved raises the statistics of accidental hits or abuse and in some cases, the horses anxiety level from it simply being involved

[@laxxla]

@meredithcondon2375 It would only be a cause for anxiety if previously misused, and there is no reason to assume that. A properly trained and desensitised horse shouldn't have an issue about a whip merely being present. How would they know how it could be used? Also, that argument could be made about many things. If someone wants to abuse an animal, they'll use whatever is at hand. A whip, a rope, even a bucket. It's not about what you use; it's how you use it that matters. Actual abuse should always be called out, but paranoia and baseless accusations need to be kept in check, not encouraged. They can cause good trainers to be unjustly accused.

[@meredithcondon2375]

@@laxxla I love that to you it’s “don’t make accusations “!!!! Like, when did I? I said if a whip is involved I’m not down that made you comment and now it’s “baseless and paranoid accusations”, like what?

@meredithcondon2375 You were implying by your statement that the presence of a whip is automatic abuse. Since it isn't, I was suggesting you be more thoughtful in your comments.

Try to stop this habit because it can be lead to hyper extending your horses legs and end up in really bad positions

[@Saltyanddone]

Vet here No, just no Please don't talk about things you don't know about First off that's not a hyperextended leg And you don't have to be a vet to know that Litteraly just have some common sense, hyper extension is painful, the horse wouldn't be doing it that nice if it were harmful There is a right way to do a teach a Spanish walk

[@RavenSaint1]

Hyper extension involves weights and the horse throwing its legs out. See Tennessee Walkers and Standardbreds who are put into the wedge shoes for the front feet and how they are forced to do specific gaits known for in their breed. There are groups trying to ban the use of those weighted wedge shoes, soring, and chains.
