How Do YOU Get a Horse to Poop?

[@tashasylvia3313]

How to get a horse to poop? Load em in the trailer! Works everytime for us 😂

[@kimhoefgen3558]

Sure does, especially if you just cleaned it !!😊😊😊

[@gingergann3934]

Load'em up with apples works, too.

[@Mell13ny]

Tip for the mule: clean the windshield good and put Rainx on it. Rain will roll off and you can see better.

[@anitamitchell7117]

I understand there's a lot of work involved in the horse rescue business but as a volunteer the perk is brushing and loving on horses too.

[@judytinker3392]

Wow, shady is much better. I never thought you’d be able to put a harness on that horse. It’s a little crazy you know.

why would anyone give Bing up....beauty of a little horse who did so well with a bunch of strangers in a strange place, completely trusting his rider to be his eyes....that is an amazing little horse!!!

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Nobody have up on him! He wasn't adjusting well to their herd and was starting to stand alone by himself looking like he didn't know what to do next. They felt he would be happier in a more welcoming home :)

The Chewy wishlist link in the video description just goes to a Chewy shelter generic search page. The upper level link stays the same when you search this shelter and navigate the Chewy wishlist and I think it was copied in error. Instead, find the shelter wishlist page first then within that select the 3 dot "share" logo on the Chewy page and copy the link there....then post THAT link in the video description (it will say the shelter name all spelled out within the link, it will not say "search" as it does now) and I think it will deliver us to the actual wishlist like you intend. Worth checking into, thanks!

[@HughLlewellyn]

I headbang to your intro every time. Love it. haha That great big honkin' barn spider... was actually SMALL for its species. I had some as big as tarantulas in my barn. They thankfully mostly stayed up in the rafters, but every once in a while one would drop and land with a distinct PLOP on the barn aisle. FULL BODY SHUDDER! Augh! hahaha Man the trail ride with all the people and horses... makes me just SO nostalgic for my old Arab, and the trailrides we went on. I mostly rode him alone over the fields and forests of southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, but the times we got to ride with other people were so much fun! I miss it so much.

[@claudiadickerman4218]

You girls are doing the work of guys in many cases. I advise you to have back support things when lifting is involved. I thought I would be strong forever, and used to do lots of physical work that involved lifting many things. Even though I used "smart posture" as the years went on my back started being a problem. I was seeing a chiropractor weekly and he is the one that said proper back support gear is essential when a person's job requires lifting. Start early with the right gear and you won't have nearly as many back problems later on.

[@josephinelindadelatorre149]

GlIRLS is the KEY word!! Sometimes I watch these 80lb girls struggling with these huge Belgin horses, thinking that the horse can easily overpower them, but the gurls keep control, and that's skill°😊

[@pooftiger]

Cindy, little fundraising suggestion. When you have something like that hose reel, you can put a link to it in the comment section and certain places like Amazon will give you a little comission. Might be worth checking into. I would so look into getting one of those for watering the chickens.

[@kathleenmoyer5478]

Nice of you to share this great idea

[@CherylHunnicutt]

Hey there's a hack for windshields to make the water roll off so you can better see through them...use a wax that don't have large grit in it and that's Incase the mule's windshield is plexiglass so it doesn't leave swirls anyways wax the windshield and you can do both sides which will actually clean it as well but the water will bead up and roll off leaving a clearer windshield making it much easier to see

[@cattymajiv]

What a lovely new barn! With so many helpful contraptions that not everyone is blessed to have. Every time I see it, I admire it. But I just can't see what's with Americans and those huge, VERY HEAVY saddles! Why don't they use English saddles like everyone else? They make so much more sense, in every way. From 33:37 onwards for a short while, what on earth is all that awful junk on the poor horse's face? What are people trying to accomplish by partially blinding him? You can see him trying to get it out of his eyes. It's nuts! Oh well. All the best to you all! ❤❤❤

[@SomaticWise]

Totally agreed about the English saddles! They are lighter, and they allow the rider to move so naturally with the horse’s body. They also cover less of the horse’s back-less stress for the skin.

[@R.a.p.h.a.e.l.a]

That "junk" is a fly veil. I had a horse in my student days and he had one on whenever he was turned out. It doesn't partially blind them, it doesn't get into their eyes, it doesn't irritate them at all. It acts the way a long forelock would and brushes flies away that try to settle around their eyes. (I'd have let his forelock grow long enough not to need one, but he was a thoroughbred and didn't have the genes for a nice luxurious forelock.)

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Those are fly masks. They keep the bugs out of their eyes to avoid irritation. The longer nosed fly masks are for horses with white faces as they can get sunburned when out in the pasture without that protection. The horses don't necessarily want them (which is why they are always getting them off) but it's kind of like making your kid wear sunscreen even when they don't want to. Protection! :) They do not push on their eyes and are see-through, they can see completely!

[@FITZIEBLUE]

hope Sylvester didn't get injured when he fell during the attempt to fear him into pooping. what did the vet suggest? Hot molasses mash often helps. you've probably tried that. Good work and thanks for all you do !

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

He is just fine. Lol!

[@PurdueAlum01]

Seems like scaring him had the opposite effect, closed that door even tighter lol, I can see how that might be the result. I would try him in a trailer like many have noted. Something about getting comfy for the ride... ironically they also often go in a freshly cleaned stall...but that probably doesn't work when u actually need a sample. Best leave him be in a clean area and find something else to do...a watched pot never boils type of thing. Fun antics tho, AL needs a belt.

[@PurdueAlum01]

Actually AL probably needs some suspenders... and maybe his clothes sewn onto him if he continues to ride in this manner. I mean, he could also go without clothes, I think that's fine in alien culture. Although if they found him a one piece silver romper with a high collar, I would go with that...

I did not see the episode talking about Shady`s injury. What happened to his neck?

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

We do not know. He came like that. We suspect something happened with a lariat at one time.

[@sterlingsiam]

@@PonyTalesRefuge Thank goodness Pony Tales Refuge is there to mend, care and love these beautiful creatures. You are all amazing.

[@sterlingsiam]

Watching later videos with Shady, it looks like his injury may have come from some abuse - he is so skittish. But, I believe I saw in later videos that he was adopted.

[@cherjohnson5807]

Why don’t all your horses go inside during the winter?

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Because horses prefer to be outside. They are only kept in a stall if they are sick or injured.

[@franchesdun]

Are you teaching Syvester to knock riders off with Al?

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

No.

[@franchesdun]

@@PonyTalesRefuge okay if you say so because when AL falls off the pressure is released and he gets to be settled and calm. I realize he maybe impacted and could colic by not pooping, but I think it is teaching him a bad habit by accident. I only had a mare for 20 years she died at 30 from Cushings, and was green broke when I got her she rode, English, Western and Dressage and just field plunking along bareback on 1500 acres in Fort Mill SC. God Bless you all and your Rescue

This video needs subtitles at the beginning. With the rain it's impossible to understand a word

[@cattymajiv]

But she's all by herself without any help. The camera's on a tripod. And subtitles add more work, so she likely didn't have a chance to think of it. I do get what you mean though. It is hard to hear, especially in some spots.

I’d like to know how do these young horses become blind at such a young age I can understand older horses, but I don’t understand these young ones seems like all of these horses have something wrong with an eye or both eyes or they’re blind or their eyes been poked out or something

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Sometimes horses are born blind (bad breeding). Appaloosas are prone to blindness/vision problems. Most often times though it is caused by an injury or illness to the eye. Very common is leptospirosis that horses get from contaminated creeks, streams, water running through their pastures, etc. This is often the cause of what is described as "went blind overnight" as that literally can happen with it.

[@annmurry1628]

If one of them bolts do not let them slowdown you keep them at a run and you slowdown when you want to stop not when the horse wants to stop and if you have a big hill near where you are make the horse that bolts run up the hill but don’t let the horse slowdown till you got to the top you keep them running and do not let them stop and they will learn not to take of as I had one bolt on me and luckily I was on a big mountain hill near where I had my horse and it was on a dirt road and I kept the horse running until I got to the top and she never bolted again and she didn’t like horses getting close to her back legs

Im not a horse person per say. I did have a pony very long time ago. But i love animals. I just dont understand the human species.😢

[@SuzanneHinds-q3k]

Would suggest a frightened horse will tense, including anal sphincter. Get him relaxed, and you're much more likely to get results. After all, how likely are you to poop when youre tense?

[@michellecrosby3717]

Get a bar of Ivory soap, with a gloved hand wet the bar and lather it up. Put the lather just inside the anus and wait. The lather will irritate the area inside and should cause them to poop. ❤

[@kimhoefgen3558]
