[@Schutzhundfun]

Before the race, while he has the red hood on, the horse also has a stabilizer which is that dark strap going over his poll, down to his mouth and then in his mouth, under his upper lip, but across the top of his gums (like a lip shank) placing incredible pressure there. It's a method of restraint, that you often see employed when horses are in the paddock, but removed once the horse goes out on the track. I don't know why it wasn't removed when the handler let him go on the track, because at that point the horse is literally getting two conflicting demands. The stabilizer over his gums is telling him "stop" and the rider's legs and seat are telling him to "go forward". Basically the same as if you put your feet on the brake and the accelerator at the same time in your car. The horse isn't throwing a temper tantrum or crazy, he's being given conflicting directions, under a high pressure situation and he doesn't know what to do. Honestly, given what was being done to him he expressed a great deal of forgiveness and intelligence in not completely losing his mind and either flipping over on her, or bolting blind through a fence.

[@boatman222345]

I hadn't noticed that the hood wasn't removed until just prior to the horse entering the gate and I'd thought that the black strap going over his poll was a decorative stripe. As the rider appeared to be exerting only light pressure on the reins I couldn't understand why the horse was displaying a response typical to that of a horse fighting strong pressure/pain from the bit. Now that I know about the paddock restraining device it all makes sense. Somebody apparently screwed up. All that said the jockey displayed great skill and courage in dealing with a very difficult and dangerous situation and I still would applaud her.

[@r38658]

Could it be intentional sabotage to discourage female jockey?

[@boatman222345]

I suppose that's possible, especially since the race takes place in Japan, a country where woman's lib hasn't quite kept up. But forgetting to remove the restraining strap might just have been a screwup. Whatever the case for the bad behavior might have been the woman jockey displayed incredible courage and skill in dealing with it. Quite honestly I would have quit the race and maybe even bailed off!

I don't think the horse was meant to have that stabilizer left on as it was released onto the track lol he was told to go forward but felt pressure on his gums, which prompts him to go backward, you will notice he goes sideways as well, any direction but forward. Yet it appears the stabilizer was removed at the gate and as you can see, he walked in very willingly. The horse was not being belligerent or disrespectful, he was just confused. This was entirely human error and he likely worked himself up so much it could have cost him a better placing. Could have been worse, lesson learned hopefully.

Jockey was incredibly calm, allowed the horse to throw his tantrum without escalating the behavior. She sat like it was another day at the office!

[@lumini3172]

This wasn’t a “tantrum”. There was something obviously wrong with the horse. A better rider/owner would’ve realized that it wasn’t a good time and wouldn’t have forced the horse to run or at the very least would’ve done what they could to find the problem. If the horse is in pain, uncomfortable, or just on edge, making them run despite the obvious off-behavior is exactly how horses get hurt. You should never put the sport over the horse. But then again, this is horse racing so putting the sport over the horse is literally the name of the game. Edit: Turns out the horse was in severe pain due to a piece of equipment that is put on some racehorses while in the paddock and then taken off while being saddled. It’s a form of restraint that is basically constantly telling the horse “stop”. It was only taken off right before they entered the gate, hence why the horse seemed so calm so suddenly. Because of the device, any amount of pressure on the reins would’ve added an insane amount of pressure on the horse’s poll (top of the head behind the ears) and teeth/gums, all very sensitive areas. Not only that, but the horse was also being given mixed signals with the rider and leading humans telling him to go forward while the device in his mouth was telling him to stop. The poor guy had absolutely no idea what he was supposed to do. All things considered, she’s lucky the horse didn’t flip over or trip on its own feet. Heck, the horse had every reason to try to throw her off and/or bolt. People need to understand that horses don’t just throw tantrums like big babies, they only react when there’s legitimately something wrong, whether that be they’re spooked, untrained, in pain, uncomfortable, or what have you.

Thanks 👍I will

So sad to see a horse in destress.

[@sanniepstein4835]

Excitement isn't distress.

[@Kocyq]

@@sanniepstein4835 its abuse not excitement but okay

[@horselover4492]

see the horse's mouth ? every time some one pulls or yanks the reins/bit the horse moves his head trying to escape the pain. also, that horse is most likely saying this in his head "ow ow ow stop pulling on my face ow ow ow i dont want to run and get beat with whip ow".

[@johanna7096]

The horse seems to focus itself on something. When she geht’s the horse or of that, he shows his nervousness and resistance again. Not only or because of the bit. It can be because of the whole situation. And the rider always tries to get him out of that focus by her legs first

"staying with that"... and continue to abuse horses.

[@arabellamanchini7889]

The tongue is blue and hanging out of it's mouth on the left side during the race. Also appears to be totally lame on the left hindquarter or stifle.

[@mayanobles4787]

Arabella Manchini race horses mouth are worn out. the slightest touch can’t be felt by their mouths. so the only resort to go for is to tie their tongues. they can feel it then.

[@arabellamanchini7889]

@@mayanobles4787 Please explain the biological process you describe of "the mouth worn out" since many of these horses are 3yo's. A tongue that is over the bit and/or out is not indicative of a good jockey. And the horse looks lame.

[@stevie56565]

@@arabellamanchini7889 that's interesting to say because the most famous female horse is USA "Zenyatta " Always had her tongue out.... she won 19 out of 20 in her career...

[@arabellamanchini7889]

@@stevie56565 What does that have to do with my initial comment? Your reference to Zenyatta. does not necessarily mean that a horse who's winning is good example since she was retired after 4 seasons which is typical for this industry. The tongue is intrinsically linked to various aspects of equine anatomy and performance.

[@cosmicmoonlily]

Arabella Manchini what does it mean when the tongue is hanging out and blue? I’m wanting to learn as much about horse anatomy and behaviour as possible and your comment really piqued my interest.

...or is the most horse abuser in the world...

[@peggypapczun2906]

That girl jockey has to be the best rider I have ever seen, she sat that horse so perfectly. Horse needs a bit of behavior training and discipline.

[@peggypapczun2906]

@Michael Burkinshaw I agree, the girl should have firmly disciplined that horse. But it's the job of the trainer most importantly. The horse needs to learn the basics, going back to when he was a baby. Daily behaviour training should be mandatory, in front of the stewards, before this horse is allowed to race again. He is dangerous. Good luck with your riding career.

[@peggypapczun2906]

@Michael Burkinshaw I'm glad you ride for a good trainer! These race horses need discipline according to their problems (as long as they are sound) and not treated like puppies and kittens. Training starts from birth, and if it doesn't happen, that horse may become a hellion as he matures. Dangerous horses like this one don't belong near a racetrack until their issues are worked out. Wishing you lots of success in proper horse handling.

[@peggypapczun2906]

@Michael Burkinshaw Please excuse the late reply, Michael. Yes, I ride but am retired from competition. Had too many very bad accidents. Now I just relax, love my horses and enjoy the scenery.

[@peggypapczun2906]

@Michael Burkinshaw Sorry you had a difficult time and weren't able to discipline properly. You can thank PETA and other animal rights groups for having the whips changed, also for number of times used. But in the past too many horses were truly abused by over-zealous riders, coming back with their mounts bloody with torn skin. I have seen this. On the other hand, whips are necessary for many horses, even if properly trained. If the jockeys use regular whips only if necessary, I see no reason to ban regular ones. Padded crops probably would not be safe in this dangerous game of ours when a horse gets dangerous or difficult. But I do believe many horses are not taught manners, therefore, the non-padded whip is necessary. Good luck, Michael, and stay safe. This COVID mess has to end eventually.

[@peggypapczun2906]

@Michael Burkinshaw Well hello Michael, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! I am doing just fine, thank you, and trying to stay warm these days. Our horses are hairy yaks, we're keeping their winter coats, not clipping. Hope you are doing well and staying well and safe. Have you been riding at all? Again, Merry Christmas & Happy Healthy New Year!
