Hi Ryan, my gelding tends to get crabby when he is brought in the barn to get tacked up alone. He also refuses to leave without rearing and throwing a tantrum. We don’t have cross ties or anything, we just i them up like you have this horse in the first round of tacking up and whenever I try to go either under his neck or behind him he try’s to bite. I trust him that he won’t kick but I’m still concerned about the biting.
I loved that the lady acknowledged that the problem started when she was rushing and wasn't necessarily paying full attention.... very easy to do. She didn't blame the horse. Great masterclass in release to pressure and as always Ryan's calm energy helping this horse find her way back . Fabulous
One thing not to be underestimated is Ryan´s calm energy and his low pleasant tone while he speaks. Horses seem to appreciate that and are more open to his guidance.
He's moving confidently because he knows what he's doing, a lot of owners are very skiddish around the horse, especially if they've already been aggressive. I remember one video where the owner was not able to get the horse to move, and Ryan just came up and led the horse away, he didn't even do any of the training😅 That must've been even worse for confidence
Impressive! Great fundamental principle of having your horse released to what you want them to do. You are helping so many people "make the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult."
Good on you, lady. That's rare that anyone acknowledges the possibility that they screwed up. Witu poor daily habits. That's a huge deal. Good for you. 😊
“I think I screwed her up!“ Hard to admit! I was impressed the moment she said that! horse’s issues are usually pain or human error. Obviously not always but usually and it’s so hard to admit sometimes. She’s awesome!
@@krisbaker9427 she asked for help from a professional and can acknowledge she doesn’t know everything. Admitted her faults? That’s a good horse owner…
I love how the horse gives you the "side eye" when you are explaining what you are going to be doing with her in this video. It's like she's thinking "I'm right here, I can hear you!" lmao. awesome video, thanks for sharing
Raising the level of concern so there is a dopamine release- changing of nervous systems. Little bits of knowledge thrown in for better understanding- thanks!❤
She is anticipating pain, discomfort, a negative experience. Lovely horse, you can tell she is really trying to understand what is happening to her. She wants to relax. I hope the owner will follow thru with this advice.
WOW~I was a stable girl growing up~never had the money to ride but was happy just to be around horses and the barn. Not around horses anymore but my love for them never went away. Just found your channel and I am hooked. You are the real deal and I will be watching more video's.
So simple but so effective! Love this video. Proves you can do a lot with a little space to work in. Kudos to the owner who took the initiative to seek help instead of "showing that horse who's boss"!
I'm new to watching equestrian channels and really enjoy it. I came across your channel and appreciate your style in communication with the horses that you help. Good on this owner for being humble enough to ask for help in dealing with her horse's behavior issue. I have not watched the entire video but I'm pausing to add this next comment that may seem out of place. What I'm about to share is in regard to this barn environment. And so my inspiration for commenting at this time is due to the audible sound iseveral.minutes in because I noticed a buzzing sound that Could very well be from the fluorescent lighting in your barn. Tubes and compact fluorescent bulbs (cfls) emit a high pitch radio frequency sound. This type lighting is very harmful and animals are very sensitive to the effects from them. Please switch to incandescent -Yes they are available on line as LED and fluorescent lighting/tubes create anxiety and damage the retinas, your animals will thank you.
I also noticed the woman was a little amped up in the beginning too, her voice slightly shrill - but that could be due to a lot of things like being on camera. But at the end, both horse and handler were much improved and relaxed. Great ending.
I really like that you didn't just show her how to do it; you had her try it herself. It was funny when she said, "I've tried everything!" I thought, "Not everything:)" So cool, Ryan!
I’m confused on how ulcers were diagnosed and treated. My guy has grade 4 ulcers and cold affects him and his behavior is similar to this mare. Back will hurt. Give the horse at least 2-3 month if omeprazole and time off to heal. GET A SCOPE!
I don't have horses either, but I find the videos so interesting from a behaviorist perspective. Plus, the horses are - as you say - very beautiful and most of the time very, very intelligent! 😍
The mare I purchased 7 months ago does this very thing! She is trained amazingly but was leased out for (2)6 month stents with 2 different families so who knows what happened. The owner said she never did this before and probably needed adjusted. I had her checked for ulcers but they didn’t offer to scope her and vet said she was fine. I was thinking when the roads are decent again to have her checked for kissing spine as well as actually get her scoped now that they offer that service. My horse continues to nip through the cinching and mounting but once you walk off she is great. I pretty much do this very same work with her to get her through the process but it’s something I have to do every single time.
Did she have a vet or someone knowledgeable to check that her back is not sore? She said the horse did not have this anxiety stuff going on when they got her.
A chiropractor isn’t a medical person-or may not be. And the vet didn’t scope the horse but declared it was ulcer free-which is basically a guess. So I don’t know that any definitive medical procedures have been performed. BUT if a bit of training clears up the issue, then I would imagine that the horse did not have ulcers in the first place. Doesn’t hurt to try!
@@SilverFlame819I’d get a massage therapist. Chiropractor specializes in alignments, they don’t work with fascia and muscles like massage therapists do.
I love the knowledge in these videos, but I get so annoyed bc so many of these things are obviously pain related and these owners are not doing their diagnostic due diligence even though they say they are. Did you actually scope it? 2wks of general ulcer treatment/preventative is not a fix. Does she have back pain? Foot pain? ECVM? So many things not answered in so many of these behavioral videos.
Always go back to basic, nice work! I wish that ppl in general would take help with these thing instead of being frustrated and also sometimes put themselves in dangerous situations. A small thing can make a big big change!
Hi ryan, I have a 15 year old mare. She used to bite,rear when the saddle touched her but she was fine once the saddle was on. Then i tried this and she doesnt even flinch anymore ty .She is a great horse now after watching your vids they are very helpful
A chiropractor definitely wouldn't be treating ulcers. You can get omepizole over the counter, but the equine dose is very high, and 30 days of treatment, for the first two weeks, I think it's twice a day.
@katiewashington7338 Ulcerguard in the tube is omeprazole, but the tube syringe is about $50 and only contains 2 to 3 doses depending on weight, so my vet just uses regular omeprazole in a capsule, but you have to open 10 capsules per dose. Much cheaper, though.
Horses can benefit from Aloe Vera, Slippery Elm, psyllium for ulcer healing. Definitely two weeks isn't long enough if there's active problem. Adding a little alfalfa helps, too.
There is a reason why saddles were created, to spread the pressure of our pelvis bone points over a large area of the horse’s back. Bareback pads can’t do that. I think the horse was being very clear, saying, Don’t ride me with that pad. It hurts.”
I think a bareback pad is probably better than a heavy western saddle, but I'd suggest that they get this horse checked out for ulcers or kissing spine regardless of what Ryan said.
@@henrietta9394 I do agree with you! This horse is trying so hard to tell humans that she do not want anything on her back! There is a reason for that, she is not disobedient. Dominating her by moving her hindquarters will only make her to submit, that´s how horeses are by nature. Something hurts her back.
My horse spooks at his saddle almost every time after I put it on (scoots sideways or jolts backwards a few steps), I wonder if this would work for that too? Going to try at least changing up the routine and see if it helps - tying him in a different area maybe lunging him first for a minute or 2. Thanks for the ideas!
She is really pretty. Looks like she has a low back and might anticipate pain. I had a sway back horse and with a therapeutic pad he was more comfortable.
Bareback pads are hard on a horses back. They do not help to distribute the weight. That's what a tree in a properly fitted saddle does to help decrease pressure points. She's also built downhill with some lordosis, so proper fitting is important. Turn the horse out and give her some time off. Lesson horses work hard and deserve breaks. I feel bad for this horse.
I know this girl and she gives her horses the best care than majority of horse owners and lots of time off. She has enough in her herd this can be done. She’s been giving lessons for 40 years. She treats her horses very well and her students are all kids.
I always remember-do you want to have to tie up your partner to give them a kiss? The mare responded well to being allowed to make the right choice rather than have that choice forced. This was sweet! ❤
Ooh..how do you do this.! I'd really like to do this w my chap..I have a few very basic moves..but without a teacher..tricky to continue.. very little of it in Ireland..😢
If the horse wasn’t actually treated for ulcers with omeprazole, that’s likely where the issue lies. The horse need a a definite diagnosis as well from an actual vet.
Do you have further tips? My friend has a horse and she behaves like that too, but to put pressure on her she can't make turns like that because her insides are twisted, and the advice of the doctor was go as straight as you can, if we try her to go aroud, she gets annoyed and it looks like it will hurt a lot, so we don't do that. She sniffs the bareback, but when you get next to her and try to lift it up, she bites and walks away from it. We give her the space for it, but it doesn't seem to work very well
That is a bareback pad, not a saddle. My horse does not care for the bareback. Perhaps she needs more support and riding in the pad is uncomfortable for her?
Hi! I have a question. When I ride my mare lately, she has been really barn sour and keeps trying to canter when I'm just trying to walk. How could I help this? I used to ride in a halter and lead rope but lately she's been kinda crazy she won't even respond just to a halter. I need some tips here!
Maybe she’s in pain and doesn’t want to be ridden. Like does she have an option to not be ridden? I’m looking at the dip in her back that doesn’t look like anybody should be on her back
I’m confused. In the beginning she said she’s been dealing with this for 6 months, then at the end she said she’s been dealing with it for “years.” Which one is it? The horse is only 6 years old, according to the owner. How long could she possibly have been a lesson horse? (6 is really young for a lesson horse to begin with.) Maybe the horse just hates being a lesson horse.
@@lynnm.kleingardner8640I looked at the vet's website, it says they recommend omeprazole for 10 days, to see if it helps. If it helps, you know they have some acid/ulcer issues going on. She said it didn't help. So probably not an ulcer issue. It's the same thing humans take for acid reflux.
Asked several times on timeframe of this issue?? Oh, 6 mths. It's just been 6 mths... End of session, oh it's benn years i've been dealing with this???! Huh? I'm not hating but all must be honest when trying to solve an issue. Per Monty Roberts, 'we never stop learning, e en at my age.....and I'm older than the hills'?!! Hahahaha Don't be embarrassed. Even the pro of pros messes up. 🐎 Happy Riding or just lovin' on your horse.
First guess to this without seeing it yet.. Have we checked the tack fits? Have you made sure its not just ulcers? Maybe youre doing the girth/...sinch? (How you spell that?) too tight? I dunno. Usually a horse behaviour issue turns out to be a human issue. Almost every. Time. Good this lady is trying to fix the situation though so. No hate.
I don't correct people's spelling very often, but since you asked, the spelling for the western girth is "cinch". It's also the same spelling if you are using that word to say a thing is easy. Both ways, it's spelled c-i-n-c-h.
Give the horse a flake of hay before you bring him out to tack up. Hay coats the stomach and protects the moving horse from the sloshing stomach acid while being ridden. Horse probably has ulcers and associates tacking up with being ridden, therefore doesn't want to be tacked up because of the upcoming acid burning her empty stomach. Hay before tacking up may help. Gastroguard is medication for treatment of ulcers, need 30 day veterinarian prescription for gastroguard. Good luck to you.
I don't think it's a saddle or the pad... that horse is anticipating .. Anticipating riders that aggravate her... Less experienced riders.. This horse is probably used to a good rider .... I bet if you Saddle her with a good rider for 4 weeks.. You would have a different horse...😊
That's what I think too. Possibly it's a combination. I think the horse is also anticipating having a heavy western saddle tossed onto them, and maybe a too tight girth or cinch as well. And having students pulling hard on its mouth for at least an hour or 2. (Which is part of what you said.)
Not from an owner that the horse has known for years. I don't mean anything bad against you, but to take that idea and apply it in this circumstance is just wrong. There are different types of stares too. A loving gaze from a loving owner is nothing at all like a predatory stare. The 2 things also involve completely different body language, so even from a stranger they would mean different things. Horses are not dumb. They can tell the difference.

That is a bareback pad, not a saddle. My horse does not care for the bareback. Perhaps she needs more support and riding in the pad is uncomfortable for her?
The woman said it was the same for any tack. This was about the horse developing an intense objection from rushed, insensitive saddling.
Amazing.

You can ride a horse with lordsis. There is no problem with that.
Awe, she looks like a filly off of my old mare, APHA Ray of Sunshine McCue. Sunshine had the same attitude.
Took 3 months for my mare to get over ulcers. Shed try to bite by even when you place your hand on her belly. Now, she doesnt bat an eye
Great job, guys!
How is she with other horses and being in close proximity?
My horse has been doing the same & also had an endoscopy to see if she had ulcers & she does not
Possibly deficient in Vitamin E
I’m confused. In the beginning she said she’s been dealing with this for 6 months, then at the end she said she’s been dealing with it for “years.” Which one is it? The horse is only 6 years old, according to the owner. How long could she possibly have been a lesson horse? (6 is really young for a lesson horse to begin with.) Maybe the horse just hates being a lesson horse.
Im scared for this lady. THIS IS A WARNING.One day she is going to really do something. Ryan is a saving this horses life. And the ladys.
Well crap. I am having this issue with my rescue horse AJ. He is exactly like this mare, but he is way older. I am going to do this with him.
Always rule out the possibility of cystic ovaries or other ovarian issues with mares. Many have pain that doesn’t ever get diagnosed.
This is fantastic!!
So she does have ulcers? I didn't understand fully.
She said she was checked over, and they didn't find anything.
@@SilverFlame819 ok. Then what medication did the vet give that the mare was on for 2 weeks?
@@lynnm.kleingardner8640I looked at the vet's website, it says they recommend omeprazole for 10 days, to see if it helps. If it helps, you know they have some acid/ulcer issues going on. She said it didn't help. So probably not an ulcer issue. It's the same thing humans take for acid reflux.
Gosh she’s a beauty!
A few cinch pinches will cause that. We had to get cinch protectors for some of the heavier ranch horses but we never used mares.
So I did the full treatment of ulcer guard and they’re gone

Asked several times on timeframe of this issue?? Oh, 6 mths. It's just been 6 mths...
End of session, oh it's benn years i've been dealing with this???!
Huh?
I'm not hating but all must be honest when trying to solve an issue. Per Monty Roberts, 'we never stop learning, e en at my age.....and I'm older than the hills'?!! Hahahaha
Don't be embarrassed. Even the pro of pros messes up.

Happy Riding or just lovin' on your horse.
Amazing how many diagnostic veterinarians watch this channel
First guess to this without seeing it yet..
Have we checked the tack fits? Have you made sure its not just ulcers? Maybe youre doing the girth/...sinch? (How you spell that?) too tight?
I dunno.
Usually a horse behaviour issue turns out to be a human issue. Almost every. Time.
Good this lady is trying to fix the situation though so. No hate.
I don't correct people's spelling very often, but since you asked, the spelling for the western girth is "cinch". It's also the same spelling if you are using that word to say a thing is easy. Both ways, it's spelled c-i-n-c-h.
Give the horse a flake of hay before you bring him out to tack up. Hay coats the stomach and protects the moving horse from the sloshing stomach acid while being ridden. Horse probably has ulcers and associates tacking up with being ridden, therefore doesn't want to be tacked up because of the upcoming acid burning her empty stomach. Hay before tacking up may help. Gastroguard is medication for treatment of ulcers, need 30 day veterinarian prescription for gastroguard. Good luck to you.
I don't think it's a saddle or the pad...
that horse is anticipating ..
Anticipating riders that aggravate her...
Less experienced riders..
This horse is probably used to a good rider .... I bet if you
Saddle her with a good rider for 4 weeks.. You would have a different horse...😊
That's what I think too. Possibly it's a combination. I think the horse is also anticipating having a heavy western saddle tossed onto them, and maybe a too tight girth or cinch as well. And having students pulling hard on its mouth for at least an hour or 2. (Which is part of what you said.)
Very smart!
Something happened to the horses back....she is protecting her back...
This lady had to stop staring at the horse’s eyes. She looks mesmerized and this is translated to the horse as predatory.
Not from an owner that the horse has known for years. I don't mean anything bad against you, but to take that idea and apply it in this circumstance is just wrong. There are different types of stares too. A loving gaze from a loving owner is nothing at all like a predatory stare. The 2 things also involve completely different body language, so even from a stranger they would mean different things. Horses are not dumb. They can tell the difference.
