This HORSE was sold 4 times in a year! 😳 Can he be fixed?

Many difficult horses bounce around from auction to auction.
They are labeled Outlaws, Broncs, Counterfeits.

Since there are a bunch of snarky comments about my very well trained working dog…Huckleberry is NOT chasing Gus when he is being lunged. He is simply following him. Gus is not bucking because he is afraid of anything he is in mental turmoil from prolonged physical pain. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk! 😉

Absolutely... Animals need to be allowed to decide how they follow our lead versus being forced to comply!!! This is how I chose to train our spaniel... she's very easygoing and does not disappoint!

[@DarrinsDaffs]

@artemisXsidecross, Little Gus’s early repetitive movements immediately reminded me of some autistic spectrum behaviors. Additionally, his emotional self-protection, from being relocated multiple times, is similar to the emotional profile of many children in the welfare system😢. In my 67 years, I’ve learned that, above all else, consistency in how one treats others (2, 4 legged and winged) builds confidence, security and trust.❤

Sensitive horses in the hands of impatient/incompetent trainers really struggle to understand what is asked of them and end up labeled dangerous when actually they can be some of the most athletic responsive horses around.

[@TheCleverCowgirl]

Absolutely!

[@pedigreeann]

@@TheCleverCowgirl The great Thoroughbred racehorse and stallion Fair Play (1905) had sensitive skin and his grooms in the US understood that. But his owner took him to Britain to in order to run against the best there and somewhere along the way an unfamiliar groom was assigned to him; he used the old-style handful of hay and strong pressure method on Fair Play's coat. From that time on, the stallion didn't trust humans very much. He didn't race in Britain, went back home and stood at stud, with a reputation for being a hard-to-handle, even dangerous horse.

I’m a new subscriber from Australia, I’m 64 & I’ve been around horses my entire (I’ve ridden since I was 2 years old) life & I am clinical psychologist & I have specialised in positive behaviour support with people with developmental disabilities. I really love your approach with your horses, it is very much my philosophy; we compete in English horse shows & dressage. Your approach appears to be based upon identifying each horse’s environmental contributors of behaviour (pain, fear,routines, illness etc). One of our horses twirls whatever he can, that behaviour has almost disappeared since we treated his ulcers, although he still twirls occasionally-twirling appears to me to be a form of “stimming” (self stimulation) to self soothe his anxiety.

[@user-hy4xu5cf2s]

I was amazed to watch this video! A week ago, a storm worked to radically change my rescue horse as well! I've had him 4 months. In 30 minutes, both of us side by side in the stable doorway, (he was free to leave) sheltering from a very big thunder & lightning storm & torrential hail & rain, he went from being a totally tense, over reactive 3 yr old to a trusting & much calmer person. He had been in several homes before, was starved, & like yours, had deeply fearful experiences of pain-associated training of several very different kinds & a savage bit. He has scar tissue from bits & saddles. He was constantly on the edge of flight or fight, jumped fences, broke through switched off e-tape, was aggressive with my ponies. He would follow me loose & lead, but was unsafe to be near outside the small yard if I asked for a few steps of circling. I think, in the stable he finally realised I had no intention of causing him harm, & that he could disassociate me from 'training' situations. I was content to lean on the doorway, giving slow blinks & soft breaths, offering calm companionship while he munched with a relaxed low neck. I think he finally felt safe. I've been searching for ages for a video about a horse with my boy's behaviour, & it's astonishing that you have had the same experience with a storm. Many thanks for sharing it, & for all the patience you have helping equines.

Aside from your kindness, deep understanding, and knowledge of horses, you have something so many people don't, and that's patience.

[@annabrewin3034]

Amazing how phychological damage to a horse is so so hard to break. I had a horse that would flip and run as if a pack of wolves were after her. She would run at breakneck speed and launch over fences. She had also smashed, flipped and hit the ground running into gates! She was a serious danger to herself.Once I got my own property I did not close the gates inside for when the switch flipped and she would run for seemingly no reason even when eating fed out hay etc. I like you would not rehome to anyone as the damage done to her mind was so deep she needed special care and safety precautions to look after her. I kept a daily routine and a constant relaxed environment to try to help her. Horses need the time it takes as rushing can be a backwards slide. I love the way you assess and individualized each horse that comes to you. As we all should. I so so enjoy watching your journeys, problem solving and methods. We have a similar mindset towards our horses. Saying hi from Australia. 🤩

[@morganalori]

So nice to get Little Gus' background. And so cute to see again the fence shenanigan's. Twas so funny when you gave them text bubbles. Seeing them again at that fence being naughty brought the giggles back. Thank you for being so patient with him and finding out what the underlying issues were and then giving him proper training to get him past his past trauma so he can enjoy working with you. Quite glad the tying in the barn gave him some quite time to reflect and realize 1) he's not in pain because the saddle was back and 2) this isn't the same at all. so he could calm down and work his way past the past trauma and use his smarts again. Yay.
