Karicia: the mangalarga (Episode 1) When Horses Choose in Brazil

(Texto em Português abaixo/ Portuguese below)
Mia Lykke Nielsen gets a request from Paulina to train her "not so nice" mare, Karícia.
Karícia is a retired 20 year old mangalarga who used to be a barrel race top tier horse. She was bought by Paulina during the pandemic and lives in a ranch where the horses don't stay out in pastures for long (in fact, quite rarely -only when the owners ask or come to visit). Unfortunately, it is very common to have horses in stalls in Brazil, who only come out to work for a couple of hours, and then, back in stalls.
Karícia has some behavior issues Paulina asked Mia to check and work on.
Stay tuned for Part 2, to be posted soon.
Mia Lykke Nielsen recebe um convite de Paulina para treinar a égua "não tão boazinha" dela, a Karícia.
Karícia é uma mangalarga aposentada de 20 anos, ela era égua de tambor competitivo. Foi comprada pela Paulina durante a pandemia e vive em um rancho onde os cavalos não ficam soltos em piquetes por muito tempo (na verdade, é bem raro -somente quando os donos pedem ou vem visitar). Infelizmente, é muito comum ter cavalos em baias no Brasil, que só saem para trabalhar por uma ou duas horas, e então, de volta para as baias.
Karícia tem alguns problemas de comportamento que Paulina mencionou e pediu para Mia verificar e trabalhar.
Parte 2 será publicada em breve.

I love how Mia uses clearer and clearer words to explain to those people that the horse's living conditions are inacceptable.

[@liesmies3492]

i just dont understand how any human can think that locking a horse in a stable the whole day where it can just stand up is a good thing to do . . . . its like how spanish people rope up a dog on 2 meters . . . unbelievable.

[@LonnaJo]

Thank you for teaching, love your method.

[@nicolecourt7829]

What a change ! Great job.

[@forceactionindevelopment]

It was hard to see the way this horse was living, I am so thankful you had a chance to connect with this group. It was really clear that this horse was so disconnected due to her needs not being met:( But things happen the way they should and I am happy you ended up there to help her :)

[@michellestewart7494]

We as humans need to ask ourselves what are we doing for the horses first...not ourselves. Balance is essential for a horse to be happy and willing. Beautiful Mia ❤ thank you for the love and understanding you're sharing around the world! ❤

[@nicolecourt7829]

You can see she is asking desperately for going outside to grass and she is looking for other horses too… I hope this will change . And that the owners can make a fence in the grass ….

Finally more content from Mia!

[@Peter-gi3re]

Great to see Mia again. I am not a horse owner but I love the way she works with horses and I love to learn from what she explains. It’s so cool to see the way she can get a horse to cooperate and be natural about it.

[@leeevers8976]

I appreciate your honesty. I don’t think horses should be stalled unless it’s for rehabilitation.

[@mickey2560]

So much green and space....and the horses are in dark lonely stables😕

[@paulg3012]

The lady did say she sleeps outside with 3 other horses.

[@madeleindevilliers2530]

Horses should live outside with a herd.

[@rodequis6014]

The 1st thing the horse did once outside the stall was eat sand 😢. Omg poor horse . Thank u Mia for give this beautiful horse a 2nd chance. Btw, the horse needs a tree or something (shadow), i mean the sun in Brazil is not a easy thing for animals. Great job Mia ❤.

[@gmariet1391]

Mia I love your videos and am so glad to see you . I respect you mentioning the horse is unhappy/ unsatisfied in every way ! I'm only part way through the video and wonder , will they decide to give the horse more normal living ? ! I doubt it , but hope so !

[@sidilicious11]

Wonderful. Looking forward to part two.

[@rachaellongobardi4630]

Omg Mia how do you do this work when u might be disagreeing on the inside with the care of the horses

[@yv6eda]

Beautiful work Mia!

[@aflaz171]

Horses kept in stalls all day, disgusting practise! Horses are large powerful creatures, how can anyone with half a brain think locking them up all day is OK? But Mia is dropping plenty of hints!

[@octoberjubilee9866]

I could never understand why people would coop horses up in stalls all day either. They're meant to be able to move, like out in the wild. Yes, Mia's dropping pretty blatant hints; hopefully they're heard. Sounds like the owner really cares about her horsey though.
