  • I can't believe that the video is FINALLY out.. The title is a little bit of a joke of course haha, but partly true ;)
    He did so well and its so enjoyable. Once we will get everything fitted perfectly and we build some condition and find nice places to drive I think we will have lots of great times!
    I got the tack from: www.minihorseshop.nl
    Enjoy!

      Cute.... but in the long run, not the best choice for safety. If you've ever seen or experienced a carriage accident you wouldn't think going without blinkers was anything but 😱😬. The reason for the blinkers is to keep the horse from being spooked, or distracted, by something on either the side of them. If a horse - even a pony - goes sideways or rears while hooked up it can be bloody and ugly.

    • @NightshadeGoddess
      @NightshadeGoddess Před 2 lety +23

      idk, most carriage accidents i've seen happened because an object suddenly appears and the horses can't turn their heads to spot it before it scares them.
      Bear got spooked for a second but quickly collected himself again, i think once they go out more often he'll react less, he's just solely used to his paddock. 😌 whatever their decision will be, i'm sure it will be the one that works best for Bear!

    • @dorkaleon4285
      @dorkaleon4285 Před 2 lety +23

      Okay, let me clear this up... Blinkers are mostly not used to limit a horses vison, or to keep them from being spooked. In carriges with more than one horses, sometimes you have to use your whip to communicate with one horse, and we dont want the others to see that, so they dont think they did something wrong.
      Its really simple, but i still often see people who dont know it.

They are emotional animals they feel all the emotions. And I love that you gave bear positive encouragement after Matt called him fat. It shows how compassionate you are. Bear is adorable.

      I just wish they'd use boots on the ponies on hard surfaces like Emma Massingale does. Not only do they stop the slipping from metal on tarmac, they stop the pain in the pony's legs. People should try walking in metal shoes on tarmac and see how their legs feel. Because even in dress shoes instead of shoes made for sports, people get shin splints from walking or running on hard surfaces!! 😟

      @Ristikettu Před 2 lety +10

      It may sound weird at first but when I go to a carriage drive with harness racing shetlands, I encourage them to go faster if they find something scary. The idea behind that is to train the pony spook forwards instead of spooking sideways when pulling a cart. It is so much safer for everyone that the horse speeds up and feels like it's running away from the scary thing than for it to turn around or step sideways.
      And this training done with a horse from a young age has saved me a couple of times while driving big warmblood trotters! When the horse's first instinct is to run forwards instead of anything else, I won't fall, the carriage won't fall and the horse won't escape. I have time to guide the horse to a safe place and calm them there.
      So speed can be your ally and not your enemy sometimes 😁

    Bear did really well. I love that Jesse wants his horses to be as free as possible. Overall blinkers aren't a bad piece of harness kit if they stop a nervous pony from spooking but Bear didn't seem too jumpy. I am used to watching the Friesian Horses channel cart rides through the countryside and the area Matt and Jesse live in is just as beautiful. The Netherlands is on my bucket list of countries to visit if I am ever rich enough to make it to Europe. It does seem odd to have only one pony pulling but I forget how strong minis really are. He wasn't having any trouble pulling the boys the around and seemed to be enjoying it. That looks to be a good gentle exercise routine for Bear. Imagine how wild a ride it would be if Macho was hitched ahead of Bear lol.

    Beach vehicles have huge tires. If you look up handicapped beach chairs or something you will see. Maybe something can be adapted for special beach trips. LOVE seeing Bear busy. I also love that he can see all around him. I think the blinders were used in city traffic situations to keep horses from being spooked and over stimulated. If your horse is well trained to passing vehicles then that should be enough? Look how he got to see the foal, sheep, etc. How interesting that was for him.

      I have the notion spooking around my head (pun intended) that blinkers are also used if you have more than one pair of horses drawing your carriage, so that the pole horses don't get frightened by the forehorses' reins floating around in their peripheral vision?
