- Follow my rescue horse Romeo as he transforms from a thin Off the track thoroughbred to a healthy, promising showjumping prospect and eventer. You won’t believe his transformation in this horse before and after video! Rescuing a healthy young OTTB from slaughter has been a very rewarding and steep learning experience. I do my best, so I hope you can overlook my mistakes during his training.

He’s absolutely amazing!!! His coat went from almost a buckskin to a seal brown!!!
You’ve done amazing work with him and I’m sure you can get some good money out of him he’s like a dream horse so me!
I know he completely changed color!! and personality. He is SO sweet
I bought a horse from the meat man (UK terminology ) was a 3yr old in a dreadful way feet like clogs, malniurished, ring worm, got bloods done luckily he was only anemic got that sorted along with his deworming, feet took a lot longer. Spent a lot of time out in the field with my others, he is now 8yrs old and we are about to start our 1st season at 3 star level in eventing. Please keep us all updated with your progress, and journey through life together 👍🇬🇧🏇🏇🏇
I loved this! It's amazing to see you and him over come the problems you had along he way and how he seems like a completely different horse!
Thank you 😊❤
Just give me a notice if no one sold him I need a jumping horse I do feel racing and I want to try it Jumping
Sugary grass can cause founder, if introduced too fast or too much. He’s lovely, thanks for helping and hanging in there with him.
thank you so much for saving him,poor boy,you and him deserve the world ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sadly the racing industry is brutal, i grew up with my parents being big fans of this sport and them having friends that had a horse racing stable in Germany.These people started training the horses at 1,5 years old, and the horses started going to competitions at just 2 years, sometimes older (the competitions are pure stress for them, some even get their tongue tied to their lower jaw so that they are better to control 😢).They were in their stables 23 hours and had 1 hour of intensive training every day (definitely very depressing). All of this is sadly very normal in every racing stable. Mostly the horses have to stop their career at 4 or younger because of injuries like tendon ruptures and they are getting sold for very low prices or even brought to the slaughterhouse. When they come to the new owner, they are often very traumatized and hard to work and ride with. So they are getting sold and sold and sold, because no owner is able to handle them. At the end they are most likely to end up at the slaughter house.I feel so incredibly sad for these horses and i am so happy that you saved him!
Aww that’s so sad poor horses don’t have much of a life at the track..😢 it’s so nice when someone saves one from the slaughter house give them a second chance at a great life❤
"some even get their tongue tied to their lower jaw so that they are better to control". FALSE. Tongue tying is not for "control".🙄 One doesn't control a horse by tying its tongue to the lower jaw.
"Tongue ties are designed to keep the horse’s airway open by preventing the soft palate from displacing. By holding the tongue in place, they ensure that the airway remains unobstructed, allowing the horse to breathe freely".
Horses deserve better than to be races. My mare is an OTTB and she hates bits so much. She also get really nervous and I got her when she was 15. Her owner worked really hard with her but then she got really hurt. 6 months later k pretty much have this horse with no muscle in the middle of winter being ridden every so often. Now (8 months after purchase) she is getting over her nerves, jumping 60cm consistently being ridden about once a week (or whenever my mom comes out) and we are making so much progress
Thank you for rescuing this gorgeous boy Romeo. The world needs more people like you. ❤️
He’s stunning. Thank you for looking after him. I can’t bear racing or people who starve & abuse animals.
No way thats the same horse! Poor boy! He's gorge!
Thank you, yes he is amazing
You have done a marvellous job on his training and he clearly trusts you and is willing to try for you. His rearing & nerves will dissolve with time as he develops confidence in himself and experience with the sort of things he won't have met in race training (hacking away from other horses, being ridden out just him and his rider, collected movements etc.) he's still very young and your progress with him will take time and patience. I've had several TBs over the years (usually rejects from racing) and I've never met a "nasty mean" one; any giddiness with them is usually their nerves, they are often more reactive than say quarter horses and though their racing training will have taught them to load, travel, stand for farrier etc. they may never have been introduced to the sort of lessons a regular riding horse has by that age. All the best with Romeo he is a lovely horse and you are clearly a skilled intelligent trainer.
DAMN good job. Excellent turnaround in this horses life.
Is this a same horse!? You have done a really good job!
He has a lovely movement
I like him, nice-looking horse 🐎
Such a beautiful boy.. God bless you both. ❤💔❤
Thank you ❤
Amazing work! Love your inspirational journey and great way to start finding his safe next home via posting his journey. This will attract a wonderful buyer.💛.
Poor love suffered and with love and attention you have a beautiful horse. He will do amazing things given half a chance. Well done and thank you for giving a life back.❤️
My trainer bought a horse from her friend who had just rescued him from the slaughter house. She started putting my sister on him because she didn’t really have a horse that she got along with super well. They instantly clicked, and her and my trainer have been working with him, and he is now a thriving saddle seat horse (with a few problems ofc, but he is working on it)!! This was very inspiring, thank you!!!
Loved the content, I'm glad there are people like you around to give him a second chance.
Thank you for watching ❤❤
The person who starved him sounds like someone who should not be allowed to own any animals.
You’ve done such a great job with him so far, keep it up! I aspire to be an Equestrain like you one day ❤
He was probably retired from racing because he didn’t win enough money!
Yeah probably!
He is a beautiful horse he is lucky to have you❤
Romeo is wonderful, such a handsome guy❤❤❤
Thank you ❤ and he has the sweetest personality
I love your approach. Hes incredible 😍
I’d love to buy him off you xx
Email me nadine@prohorse.com.au if you’re actually interested 😊
0:24 Why do you use the random spin wheel site sound effect for your intro? LOL
He’s so beautiful. Thank you for saving him!❤❤
Thank you, yes he is very special ❤
i love him so much! he is adorable ❤️ i love thoroughbreds so much! i wish i had one of my own. i love to see these transformations and this is truly amazing!
Thank you❤ he is very special
Romeo is my dream horse
WELL DONE! 👍
Wow from being like a silver buskin to being and stunning seal bay snd then became a normal bay u did a,axing and I love this and many other or ur videos keep up the good work❤️can’t wait for more videos like this one and many others have a amazing day and a shout out would be a,aging Ty❤️
Sounds like his fear from horses running up behind him to pass him always led up to him getting smacked to run faster. That’s probably why he has that fear.
ROMEO SAYS: WOW! I AM AT THE BEACH! WOW! OUT OF SLAUGHTER AND AT THE BEACH, ALIVE! GOOD FOR ROMEO!
Great video! Just one suggestion for next time: a lot of trainers believe that if a horse is strong, the rider should work more on groundwork and training in general instead of just switching to a stronger bit.
its a weaker/softer bit
That's a lot in 6 months! Amazing work.
Great job!
Thank you so much for watching!❤❤
That’s incredible transformation
Go bridleless ❤
Loved this 😊😊 he's sore in his left hind - if you look at his canter he leaves it behind a lot. Could explain his trouble centering right as they strike off opposite hind. A good body worker should help him 😊
The racing industry is so cruel. They start the horses when they are too young. Many of them are ruined by the time they are 5 or 6 years old
i keep watching this vid over and over just because i love how you did such an amazing job❤️ i almost rescued a ex race as well but than my barn didn’t want to take care of him😔
and i had no where else to keep him.
Love this! ❤
Yay thank you!! I will try to do an update soon ❤
@@stable-talk can’t wait to see it! ❤
That’s so sad! This is amazing of you to do this for just some bad shape thoroughbred. ❤❤
So I have a barrel horse but I want to try jumping so just give me a notice if you didn’t sell it or if you sold them because I really am looking into one I’ll have to ask my parents but I think you’ll be good
Thank you
FREAKIN SUE THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TYE AE DISGUSTING!
Good job
Thank you ❤❤
ROMEO NO WAY MY HORSE IS CALLED ROMEO HE IS A SEAL BROWN NEW FOREST PONY
I might be able to buy him mattering on how much your asking. Can he do western or just show jumping?
Yes I ride western on trails now ❤ Im gonna keep him throughout this year though.
@@stable-talk I was considering buying him in like 1 to 2 years
That is if your selling him
Stop cruel horse racing.
Wow
A wonderful job at this rescue horse rehabilitation for good health and training. So sad to see horses that have such potential are not given proper care and sent to slaughter because they may not have shown a profit on the race track. I hope that the next owner will give him all that he needs for a good life free of abuse and starvation.
Thank you so much ❤ I try my best :)
You are an angel-just of course get the kindest home-that is the most important-you are amazing!!!!!!Love him--I have 2 rescues at my home forever. They are like twins Bay with whire-on is draft and TB and Half Dutch-given to me with malnutrition and I could not touch her-even now if she feels not full she gets edgy-she is an easy keeper-The other was a baby mustang -Morgan DNA starved -without meaning to at a rescue with dusty horrible donated hay They are both blooming and loved now.
He is a gorgeous boy, best of luck
I have a question how long did it take you to do all this I have a resource that I got from an option and I’m wondering because I can’t write her yet
6 months? Holy cow! Amazing work! Hope for the best! 😊
Get your money out of him and more . He’s worth it and so are you .
This is not hate but when did she use or start to you spurs
Also well done ❤
Thank you, yes I dont use spurs on him ❤
How did his coat change?
season change, I have a buckskin and she changes from almost white to dark beige. Horses coat change with seasons amount of hair, sun, feed
@@Lonuw k
I think from lack of nutrients his coat faded, and he came from summer in Texas which probably sunbleached his coat too
Very big coat colour change. I've never seen anything like that.
I'm only asking because I'm curious, but why did you leave twice for relatively long periods during his training? (iirc once for a full month and second time for 3 weeks) I don't really get that.
I like giving my young horses breaks in their training ☺️ to play in turnouts with other horses. they come back calmer and happier. I want them to think training is fun so don’t want to overdo it.
Very different from the stereotypical "horse training" most people (me included!) see in movies and tv. I'm glad it's not always like how it's depicted :)@@stable-talk
Why has his colour completely changed?
The coat colour can depend on the season and the individual's overall health, along with age of course :)
❤❤❤
This is so amazing
Yay thank you, happy you enjoyed the video ❤
@@stable-talk I f I had a place for him ,I would love him.
😂😂😂🤭🔥
Where was he in placement in yhe race?
^Where did he place in the race?
@@MissJools11 I had autocorrect on and was typing with one finger. I assure you that my English is refined and I do not need need any corrections to make myself so esoterically clear.
@@DAC_eqEsoteric, meaning " intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest". The opposite of "clear".
@@margodphd one) wow, you had to search up the word and blather back the Google definition. Two) esoteric does mean that only some people would know what you mean, but I'm saying that I don't need any corrections because people will know what I'm taking about. Esoterically clear in this case means clear for a certain group.
Therefore, one can describe this as being that I need no corrections due to the fact that only a certain group of people won't know what I mean. Like, damn you didn't have to create so much dissonance and be so onerous.
I hate to see horses or any animal starved
🤮🤮🤮
shut up kiddo
Huh
Don’t buy horses that were supposed to be slaughtered tho 😭😊
He was rescued before making it to the slaughterhouse ❤
Why not? All around the world many horses who never had a chance are sent off to slaughter...
Instead of saying doing good, currect english is to say doing well. #Wellwellwell!!! #Learncorrectenglish!!! Also, I see you use draw/running reins. They should be banned!!!
Sorry, I will try to improve my English ❤. Its my second language
^correct.
Also saying I'm doing good is grammatically correct. It's informal English, but not slang or extremely informal.
^that you use
@MissJools11 How about YOU learn another language before you complain about someone who mastered a second language commendably. Plus, you even misspelled your own comment 😂 It’s “correct”, not “currect”.
And drawreins are not abusive. If used correctly they are extremely beneficial in teaching the horse to activate it’s back muscles.
Missjools11: Another "keyboard horse trainer" who has never owned, ridden or trained a horse spouting off nonsense. If using draw reins is considered abusive take your anger and direct it towards the "Big Lick" TWH's.. There is the REAL abuse. I dare ya to pull up videos of these "big lick" TWH's and their "training" and it doesn't involve draw reins.
@@paulawinstead5660 exactly. It's not even constructive. Just saying 'oh that's not right and your abusive'. Not asking questions or seeing if it's above level etc.
Also dressage horses don't always have draw reins and rolkur is massively abusive.
