[@ruthkult6536]

That's what I noticed as well. Constantly with his attention elsewhere. There's another trainer I follow who uses a lot of the same methodology but he also insists, quietly that the horse's attention always be on him. Makes a world of difference!

My laid back 15 year old gelding acted like this when he developed gastric ulcers. He was so distracted and uptight for no real reason. Spooked at everything, couldn't be away from other horses, totally ignoring me because he was so hypervigilant. Treated the ulcers and my quiet, chill horse came back. Just a thought.

[@MegF142857]

Good point that always need to make sure there aren't some physical reasons for a horse behaviors.

[@melanies.6030]

This is really interesting, and something I've never heard of...how did he eventually get diagnosed?

[@kristinbailey3227]

Good to know! I got a gelding that was always chill with old owner but the move to my place seemed to really rock him. I have wondered about ulcers but never associated it with this type of behavior, just some other things

[@SDWits]

My 23yo lease horse is acting weird like this too, and the barn owner suspected and treats him for ulcers (for 2 mos now), but he gets distracted/looky and still randomly spooks. I can predict by his body language if it will be a spooky ride or not. He only does this with me though. Not with any lessons kids nor the other leasee. So I wonder if it's bc of his "I don't wanna work" attitude, and I make him work/think harder than the young kids who ride him. (Still not hard by most peoples standards bc Im careful w/ him bc of his age). My only other guess is his eyesight or dental. I usually ride in the evening, so it's been dark. The arena isn't the best lit arena. I have changed his saddle, bridle, bit, my spurs. I've tried riding him super gently, and sternly. Doesn't matter. He spooks at nothing. Last time I rode, we were walking on a loose rein and he spooked.

[@caitlinw8351]

@@melanies.6030a very large percentage of horses have ulcers, and they get them quite easily. i think it’s worth treating every new horse one acquires for ulcers just from the stress of a move.

[@angeloddrev]

So nice to see a welshie! I live in Wales, have my whole life and it's so nice to see a Welsh pony on your channel although I have to admit I've never seen one at 16 years old with this energy! He's so beautiful, but sad that he didn't get training early. He's a unique little guy :) Where I live there are wild welsh ponies on the mountains, the stallions are so beautiful. We have a pure white (grey) one with the most glorious mane and tail. He gets super aggressive at his youngsters if they try to come back to the herd later on in life. Loved seeing this palomino, we don't have any in the wild herds. We have all the shades of greys, bays and the occasional black. Thank you for helping this sweet pony ♥

It's all about leadership, respect, and trust. This young guy had very little of any of it. Once he got shown his place in the herd, and was showed what respect and leadership was all about, he became a different horse very quickly.

Wonderful work :-) He looks a bit like a horse that could be allergic to grain. If thats the case, and he is fed grain - he can get totally warm, for no reason, seeing ghosts everywhere.

[@MegF142857]

This is why I joke that one of my horse's "tricks" from positive reinforcement is standing quietly. However you get your horse to pay attention & stand quietly & let you work around them & safely etc, then that's a behavior developed by consistently working with them. I expect them to stand quietly unless I ask them to move out of my space, then they should quietly move. I want no drama. I can clean their sheath out in middle of yard with no halter on, for example. Enjoyed watching you work with this horse.

[@tropicaoptica]

So often people don’t give horses enough space and keep them trapped right up next to their hand on the lead. There is no release of pressure, so they constantly fight it.

[@saspinks9536]

And then they label the horse as pushy.

[@lorimcentarfer7413]

Ryan, you should use Tristan's method (check out TRT method) for this type of horse and make him aware of his anxiety by keeping your hands on specific parts of his neck bone and muscles until he realizes his tension.

[@aleb_equine]

this was a fun video oh boy little Welsh boy

[@topolinofarm9343]

My mare gets super afraid when I try to use the wall to interrupt her as Ryan suggest at @9:15 Just something to keep in mind for anyone else... It might not work on your horse. lol. It's something we are working on. She is less afraid of using "the wall" if it is an outdoor arena fence vs an indoor arena wall. But the idea of running into the wall makes her afraid and defensive and sets her to just running backwards after a couple times.

I KNEW he was a Welshie! They can be very, _very_ reactive - and not in a good way - especially when compared to the average of the other native breeds of these islands.

[@evelynwaugh4053]

Super cute, though, and a nice size.

[@Sine-gl9ly]

​@@evelynwaugh4053Welshies (all sections - A, B, C & D) are pretty, athletic, hardy, good doers, strong and versatile. They do have lots of virtues but of all the native breeds of the British Isles, they are the one I like the least.

[@evelynwaugh4053]

@Sine-gl9ly I've never had one (or any pony), just part Arabs and quarters here in the US. In general, reactive and spooky isn't fun. Give me level-headed and kind. Hopefully this pony will become a good equine citizen.

[@Sine-gl9ly]

@@evelynwaugh4053 As I'm barely 5ft tall, I've had - and rehabbed - lots and LOTS of ponies, from 10 hands or so upwards. I come from a long line of farriers on my dad's side - one uncle had a farrier ancestor's pike (used for killing injured horses on the battlefield) from the Battle of Waterloo - so people asking for help with difficult littlies were often palmed off on me from quite a young age! Not that I objected as I loved being around horses from my earliest days. My favourite breed, though, is the Arab - Polish bloodlines especially. There aren't many quarter horses on this side of the pond; 'western' type riding is quite a niche thing.

[@evelynwaugh4053]

@Sine-gl9ly This pony would be perfectly sized for you, I think (assuming Ryan is about 6 feet). I'm guessing pony is about 14.1. Your family history is intriguing. Very sobering to think of all the horse and human carnage during history's battles. After a terrifying experience where an English saddle rotated sharply about a foot to the side after my no withered half Arab mare spooked at a canter, I have only used Western saddles. The swells at the cantle are very helpful as a thigh brace for stability in the saddle when unexpected equine antics occur. It's much more difficult to get unseated in a Western saddle.

[@celianewman4809]

My 5 year old has a pony that we keep where she takes riding lessons. He has been here since her birthday in August, so we were giving him some time to get adjusted. I bought him because he’s kid safe, but in the last couple of weeks he has completely changed and doesn’t want to be ridden, spooks easily, he also seems a bit sensitive to noises. I don’t know much about horses but I do get some guidance from her riding instructor and the owner of the place, but I was wondering what your thoughts were on this and why he’s acting that way. The owner of the farm thinks that it could be an ulcer because his behavior changed overnight so she’s giving him some ulcer medication right now to reassess. I would love to know your thoughts and what I can do for him as an inexperienced horse owner. We do love him and I hope she’s able to ride him again.

Thats a pony that never got enough time spent with him. Good time. I've worked in stables. Most problems are never addressed. The let stable workers do the work but mostly it never gets done. They sit in a stall and get turned out with the occasional visit from the owner.

[@Wendy-bd9zu]

He would be a nice jumping pony probably.

[@nicolematthews1543]

It looks like to me you should be looking at his feed! What is she feeding him? Alot of times these little high strung ponies should not be eating alfalfa. Should try Teff or orchard a more cool type forage, just plain straight hay no grain, at his age he shouldn't be acting like this. Very hot little pony. He cannot even focus on any one thing.

You would think a horse trainer would know to not let the lead rope drag on the ground where he steps on it or gets entangled. Every video I've seen has the lead rope dragging on the ground. If you don't want folds in your hand then slip the end through your belt so its not dragging, don't tie it just keep the end up off the ground.

[@kimwentz442]

He needs body work. Best tò show up at feeding time, just pick a corner and hang quietly every day getting closer, but wait til he or she invites you closer. W in a few days you could place one hand on the crest of his neck 1/2 way down and the other hand about 1 ' behind his ear also on crest. Work up to this, exercise patience wait to be invited in. As horse does not step away, or turn head away, thats your cue to Start to gently rock his neck. I usually fall in line with the rhythm of their chewing. It isnt about the invasive big muscle in, but keep a slight bend in your elbows. Rock the baby. Hands are relaxed, if you do it long enough they will respond like a ping pong ball your hands cupped over the ridge of their neckline and instead of using your whole body you can push away from you with the palm section and pull them back w your 4 relaxed fingers ( important not to hold rigidity in your hands) cupped over the other part of their neck. It is a head start if you do this at mealtime when they are chillin on their hay. After a couple months you can transfer and trigger that calm relaxed state applied as needed to any previously place that jacked their anxiety. You can do all kinda techniques for muscular release, i'm pursueing more than a spa session. If im putting in the time i want a deeper result, im wanting to be a herd mate, i want the winney when they see me. Ive found thru establishing rhythm each session its own organic compliment that developes a deep trust and bond, music is good (not hyped driving beat stuff )... consider when would a horse encounter that in their natural world? Being hunted... Only humans, wolves, dogs, or lyon's could subject them to that. I prefer to work with the crunch crunch crunch of their chewing. Starting at 1st matching that rhythm, rockin thier neck push away, pull back and feeling and working with them listening to the tension soften under my hands, transition slowly to its every other chew and so on. Horses groom each other while hanging out in the course of a day. When you take time to groom them with the flat of your hand instead of a curry comb or brush. You take the opportunity to read their body with your hands. You are drawn closer, not obivious distance.The difference between running your hands all over a horse, feeling for soreness, heat and swelling however subtle indicate injury. The body saying mayday mayday send me a amìno, send me a protein in attempts to repair. Little micro tares pernhaps either side of the withers caused by a saddle that is just that much off of a suitable, optimum saddle fit. Horses get jacked when they antisipate pain. Who do you know who would carry you into a live battle field because you asked them to do so? Horses have the capacity to teach humans the great lesson of generosity, to be of service. They are noble in this sensibility and mankind wouldnt be where its at if it weren't for the horse. However, with the self glorifying owner who is preforming for someone everytime they ride, and asking over n over again for a top preformance that is minimized and rarely celebrated, no its just expected. Most never flip the coin and just go on a fun ride, or maybe not even ride but choose a creek bed on a warm day ..put on some shoes you can trash and halter lead your horse up the creek go exploring, rock hunting , marvel in the sunlight shadow dancing in the trees overhead. Then you become their herd and what they have w you supercedes the bordom of swatting at flies back at the o k corral. Got to make it fun, let them feel loved, make big stink over them when you come to the barn. Look for the joy in their eye. All that disconnect and the focus to make distance is because especially w ponies they are relagated to be the baby sitter nanny. They endure the learning curve of their little humans...but it never lasts. Little ones grow up, & what was a bright spot light on them waxes into days of longing and emptiness until they are sold to the next little selfish brat ripping there mouth apart. Time spent w horses is about quality, a curiosity between you both that if done right morphs into a bit of a centaur. Its not about a formula, a certain controlled predictable expectation loaded schooling, a practiced discipline. It has elements of that but done as a default control dominance approach is oppressive and will lead to a dull resentful resistant animal. Some will work to hard to please their masters & they work themselves into a body hurt they suffer alone. All of a sudden you have a equine w a vice. Buck, run away, sit down and roll, wipe you of on a fence or low hanging branch all because they aim to please in the detriment of remaining it their bodies comfotably. Chronic pain is barely survived when you can convey your suffering, animals cant, how awful to go to track practise and then be locked up in the hall coat closet unable to turn around til the next day when it starts all over again. The plight of the race horse. Instead, turn them into an enclosure, watch them move...are all legs moving freely and basically covering the same amount of ground separately? You can take the first 1/2 hour just observing where there is resistance , or indication of compromise. Being a flight n prey animal they are hard pressed when to tell you where they are hurting some where deep inside. One has to be decerning and paying attention. There is so much more to do with horses beyond what has gone on before. Cavalia ( french based cirque de solie of sorts, but w horses who toured u.s. with about 60 horses and amazing show...ck. out on you tube) had a couple of parts, for instance, a 16 hand bay stallion freestyle no halter played w a 7' diameter red rubber ball, he chased it around. Then here comes a guy and hes very tarzan idealized. He had no shirt and built like the gymnast he was vaults up on top of the ball and starts controlling the ball by running on it. He and the stallion play chase , and tag. Horse participating of free will as were many segments of their show. It was a complete labor of love. The likes of which we will probably not see again , it ran for a few years about 20 years ago. Sure you could find video's on KZbin, excellent production, Music was really good as were holographic projections that turned the tent into the roman coliseum with in depth catacombs etc. Among other settings. Thats where i would like to see horsemanship advance to not to the spaghetti western open jawwed galloping non stop idea of horsemanship 80% of the american population thinks it is. You might wanna ck out steve young horsemanship. He is from whales but had attended clinics with cant remember names well but i think dorman the horse whisperer guy who buck brannaman mentored under him. I dont remember names easily but i do results and he is the best ive seen. Check out his quarter horse mare who due to a hock injury is retiring, i think she is already 25. But he does clinics a couple times a year in british isles. He and his wife who videos all of his sessions live in wales. He also see's problem horses, feral horses, unmanagible, dangerous biters, buckers, hey their going to the slaughterhouse horses and he finds resolve and polish , redemption and improvement for these troubled souls. Ive been obsessed and became a member of his podcasts for unlimited access. Im 65, he is my age. Clients ( mega wealthy ) americans have hired him to come to america mostly east coast. However he did attend that huge working horse convention that took place in las vegas a couple months ago, before going down to texas to straiten out a pro rodeo bucking horse headed for slaughter. A actress who was very accomplished when i was growing up, now in her 80's bought him and brought him to her sanctuary. Terrified and barely handleable they needed a break through to be able to deal w him in event of need, vet..shoeing, etc. He was successful and worked w her ranch manager so she could continue what he started w his ground work. This guy has got a rare gift, you could learn allot from him. As a lifelong horse owner n lover i always appreciate horse men and women who place horses 1st and are effective..all the best to you. Horses are a lifelong pursuit. He has a great marriage, and his daughter n son in law who is a farrier with mad bedside manner are often featured pitching in on problem solving in his videos. We need young ones of your generation to pass the torch to. All the best and happy new year to you n all the horses lives you will touch.
