    He is really handsome - look forward to seeing more of him as he progresses. He is a very kind horse affectionate - looks like you have a bond already. You should be very proud of him he did great on his first outing - good luck - really enjoy your "way" w/him

    Great first ride. The spookiness at animals and hedges is one of the hardest things for OTTB’s 
 their world at the track is so different. I’ve also said many times “I live to see another day“. I have an OTTB that ran for six years and I’ve slowly and steadily retrained her but we’ve had some massive spooks along the way. Best of luck with him. It looks like you’re off to a great start.

      I’m a huge advocate of barefoot horses, but I do realise not all horses can cope! Thanks for taking the time to comment 😊

    4 years old, 4 years old, 6 years old ... It always blows my mind that horses that I would still consider to be babies, can be called 'ex' anything.
    He is lovely, I really look forward to watching your progress with this one x

    Finally taking the opportunity to watch some of your older videos. Am also keen to keep my horses barefoot. Sadly my horse sadly needs front shoes in summer.

    Love going bf but hooves need to b trimmed regularly. You have no breakover which is so important. Hos foreleg conformation is base wide ...he needs help, trim every few weeks.

    Got a 8 yrs old gelding I’ve had for 6 or more mts that is the same issues as yours đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«. , hip a bit sore from a fall I think and transition from walk into a gallop shows the sign off the injury, lameness issues pelvis and off hind , soft tissue damage on top of rump 🙄 but I am getting there with him and he’s improving wis massages and oils 👍 was a race horse 🏇 as well here in aus .

    As an ex racehorse he may just have never developed a trot, they tend to go from walk yo canter to gallop then back down again x

    You have to remember race horses have one speed and no stop.. most don’t have much training other to go fast.. no trot or canter with a rider . .

    I know riders do it, but I don't believe in pet-slapping a horse. If they can feel a fly, they don't need to be whacked on the side of the neck. I'd like to know how many people spook their spirited horse by doing this. Just say'in.

    • @jenniferrebecca2813
      @jenniferrebecca2813  Pƙed rokem +5

      I think most living things can feel a fly. My horses seem to respond well to pats, if they didn’t like it I’m sure I’d be able to read that from them.

      I agree. Gentle petting is fine. The slapping...SMH.
