I rarely say anything negative about a horse but this owner asked for it.

[@sheriharader2566]

I hope she is there long enough to see her move after her feet are corrected. Very nice horse. She deserves her feet fixed. ❤

[@livesoutdoors1708]

Oh those hooves! Like you said “ four flat tires”.😮 such a good girl too. Mine are barefooted and I use boots and I’m still trimming my own ( and I’m 65 ) myself cause we can’t seem to get a farrier worth a darn in our area. Been to farrier school and I take refresher clinics.

[@seneynah]

It’s true the farriers these days are absolutely awful. One cut my horse to the quick, made him bleed and said it was normal! Hell no I’ve owned horses for 35 years. Imagine if a new horse owner got this type of trim and believe that kind of crap. My horse is traveling funny as well and I wonder if it’s due to his trimming I really like her. It’s hard to find any farriers, but I do wonder.

[@dorothearoles9948]

I think her face looks like someone’s does when they have uncomfortable shoes on, bless her! Let’s hope you can get her feet sorted soon, Tim!x :)

[@bitbybitfarmseast3085]

Nice solid big mare. Smart owners ask for evaluations with new horses.

[@Gingerwalker.]

Really nice attitude on this mare. I can really see how different the pastern angles are on her. Hopefully good trimming will resolve her movement issues.

[@Rosebud65]

I can’t wait to see her go after a corrective trim. Given how imbalanced her 4 feet are, it’s amazing to see how much she tries to please. Beautiful mare!

[@Deanna-k4i]

Looking forward to seeing what she rides like after her feet are balanced and you have little more time with nodamae😊❤

[@dianemanson7756]

I think she's a beautiful, very nice horse. Hope her feet situation gets corrected. Of all the horses I've seen you train so far, she is by far my favorite. Just something about her I really like.

[@seneynah]

This is just an honest horse..

[@kathleenredick275]

She looks like a nice horse. The first trotting looked a bit like a 4 beat instead of 2. It can be hard to find a good farrier. I've been trained (when I was 18 or 19) but am too old now & with a back injury. I've had 2 farriers 'lame' this horse I've had for 20 years; one in OR, one here in AZ. I have a really good one now - good with the (elderly) horse, and a good job on the feet - Native American from the reservation.

[@kathleenredick275]

Noname. I laughed as soon as you said that. 😂

[@juliehmidmo]

" No Name" 🙂 Our flies are bad too. Poor horse, she looks like she has 4 flat tires. Good, knowledgable farriers are a real blessing and hard to find. Several cycles with a competent farrier will make a huge difference. I think her new owner has a nice, mare there.

[@ljones2868]

The mare is lame in the right foreleg. No two ways about it. She may be lame during to an uneven trim, etc but she is lame. I'm surprised anyone would buy a horse that moved like that. She's a beautiful mare and I hope she can be fixed. My qualifications: trainer for over 50 years and Licensed judge for 36 yrs. I really hope this is as Tim says and she will sound up when corrected. Enjoy all your videos!

[@patriciafarran9742]

She’s very responsive. I think you’ll turn her into a very nice horse. 🥰

[@Sine-gl9ly]

Unbalanced feet can cause _so many_ apparent issues. Too many people think oh what can be so hard about 'filing down a horse's hoof' and wiil pay as little as they can for a visit from some untrained oaf with a hoof rasp - and then wonder why the horse 'moves funny'. I suspect that this horse's attitude - and way of going, of course - will improve further within a few hours of getting her feet balanced. The poor creature must feel like a human would feel if wearing a high heel on one foot and a running shoe on the other, but being a horse she has that PLUS a hiking boot on her third foot and a ballet slipper on the fourth - and is expected to dance while thus shod!

[@dawnaustin4556]

Or she could have arthritis, navicular etc. Which is why they sold her.

[@Sine-gl9ly]

@@dawnaustin4556 Solve the most obvious and easily-fixable issues first; only then can a vet make a diagnosis (with any degree of reliability) of something more serious IF (and only if) any abnormality of gait, or frank lameness, persists.

[@dawnaustin4556]

@Sine-gl9ly of course, which is why I would want a horse I buy freshly shod before I do anything. Having a horse long, un shod, whatever is a good way to hide issues. Thin soles could be the issue also that is going unaddressed, unfortunately. The mare carries herself like a mare I own since she was four. She was broke young and now the problems. Arthritis, at a young age, thin soles. Never buy a horse without recent radiographs unless you are willing to spend much more when you get the horse home. I've run across so many buted up horses that are dead lame the next day you pick it up. Good luck to this pretty horse.

[@Sine-gl9ly]

@@dawnaustin4556 Personally I think a blood draw (for testing, if the horse shows lame, or unacceptably-different behaviour, after arriving home) is more valuable than radiographs. Radiographs can show bony changes which may never have a noticable effect on a horse, and conversely will likely show nothing about soft tissue damage or ongoing deterioration/weakness in muscle, tendon or ligament which mitigates against a reliable, lasting soundness. Of course it depends at what price point one is buying, and for what purpose, and I've often taken an educated guess as to a horse's soundness, or likelihood of achieving then maintaining it, and trusted to experience as being as good a guide as anything else available on some situations.

[@dawnaustin4556]

@Sine-gl9ly sure but in this case, the mare is visibly lame. Price point is definitely a factor, I would not buy a horse without a good lameness exam, if my instincts warrant it. My instincts are usually spot on. I didn't develop them in a day. Good Luck to you!

[@tictactoe325]

This mare has a willingness to do the work. I think with a good balanced trim and training, she’ll do well. She’s a smart kind horse.

[@Loralarify]

She’s a really pretty horse- beautiful coat color.

[@blondeenotsomuch]

North Carolina, sending you some cooler weather. Glorious here perfect blue skies, fresh green and mid seventies. Is this the horse Raven was evaluating earlier this week?

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Yes

[@nedheadwyoming]

Tuning in from Sheridan Wyoming

[@anitabuck8441]

Very interesting, she does look very uncomfortable, considering she is on such a soft forgiving surface. Would love to see a before and after of the professional hoof trim. She looks a kind horse .

[@Jacqui9]

I'm sure she'll be a beautiful mover once the feet are corrected. I think she would make a Great horse for Western Pleasure Showing. She can still compete. She's so willing. I think she could be registered as Paint as well as Quarter horse. She a keeper!🥰

[@amyelizabeth1762]

Man this is the type of horse I need, they are hard to find especially in the 10-15k range

[@qhride1]

Nice horse I look forward to her progress

[@wileyestofshepherdes]

Poor thing. She looked choppy. Once got a horse who had a different type of shoe on each foot. When I got him home, and the shoer came, I told him I would never pretend to know his job, but I knew that was not right and to please go basic, unless he needed special shoes. I too, would like to see her when her feet are corrected.

[@ArizonaAirspace]

Yeah the pastern angles and musculature of hind quarters can real make the difference between riding a smooth elevated rides versus flat, hard jerky rides. The difference is like driving a Cadillac versus Industrial truck.

[@sallywasagoodolgal]

It LOOKS like you're riding a horse with 4 flat tires, too. I was trying to figure out how she was lame till you said about the lousy trim-job.

[@timklassen421]

Nice looking Paint mare anyway hope she has a great life .

[@arribaficationwineho32]

When you take a broke horse, do you use the bridle the owner uses or your own?

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Always my own. The one the owner was using is rarely the right one for us and the training we need to do.

[@danlindeke2561]

Your lesson reminds of police dogs that have to turn on to "working". Sometime dog warns me,sometimes I get dog going.

[@lauramoy9940]

Anchorage, Alaska. Is she a saddle bred?

[@suzanneyoung8011]

No, from how he said she was trained as a Reiner, she appears to be a Quarter Horse. She doesn't look anything like the present day Saddlebreds.

[@conniechristopher3449]

The jog is nice in spite of wonky feet.

[@yessabell1707]

❤❤❤

[@charliewhon6548]

She is moving like a high low even at the walk.

[@caroleangel9287]

She moves like she is trying to “tip toe” across the ground.

[@jaynechristy4590]

She moves like mine when just trimmed

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Then I would get a new farrier. A horse should not be sore after a trim.

[@joannecava2418]

Poor girl looks painful on her front

[@donnac.1609]

A horses feet a critical to having a sound horse. Once her feet are right, she will really have a chance to move smoothly. How she carries herself will be easier to teach! Balance with a rider can at times be off, especially if all the training has been done, achieving a good headset without true balance, including the body!!

[@BelindaBanas]

She looks quarter horse but her trot doesn't add up. Now I'm curious, I was thinking a bit of lameness as someone else mentioned. Wonder what will change with her carrying herself correctly and perhaps hooves trimmed better.

[@lauralove6439]

She definitely looks sore

[@idellbrown1825]

Just watching, she's uncomfortable with her feet and because her hooves aren't correct it affects her walking and the way she moves it seems.....

[@vudooviki]

Looks lame right front. Please let us know what’s up after she gets her feet done

[@rutherose23]

Agree off RF, worry about navicular would have vet and X-rays to be sure.

[@bobkohl6779]

Not collected, her back is hollowed out

[@Morkwon1001]

Just by watching her jog she is definitely sore on the front

[@kerstinmahnke8863]

Well,maybe you shouldn't be riding her then if she is so badly trimmed.because she could be lame from an injury and you wouldn't even know it.

[@VSFilly]

Low hocked. She's purty. Not a fan of her movement: especially hind quarters. Had to edit: well, I feel if a horse is a naturally gifted mover you can tell if they are barefoot/overdue for trimming. But, my opinion is just that. An opinion 😂

[@carolynstewart8465]

Very odd trot😮
