I recently got a horse that has some trotter blood so every time she’s trotting the back legs are going wide and a bit outward. Is it possible to somehow teach her to trot “normally”? She’s 12 yo so it might not be that easy 😅
Je lance une bouteille à la mer, ma jument souffre d'une fracture au coude et est dans une urgence vitale. Elle doit être opérée cette semaine. Tout soutient sera un petit pas pour la sauver. Je vous remercie de tout mon coeur.
N'hésitez pas a partager pour donner une chance de la sauver ♥️🙏
(Je suis également preneuse de vos expériences avec vos loulous sur des séjours en clinique ou opérations qu'ils ont pu subir🙏)

If anyone has helpful videos and personal experience please let me know! Any tips on how to teach lay down or have the horse move without touching him will be super helpful too!
I love this horse very much, and I would like to find other ways on the ground to bond other than me lunging or just general play
hello! I’m looking for a few tips with lunging. I’ve been taught to do older styles of horse training and it doesn‘t really include lunging but as I’ve seen others do it I really would like to learn how to do more things like this. so this is a video of me lunging my horse and one things I’ve been noticing is that he’s pinning his ears especially when I ask for a trot. he doesn’t do it the ENTIRE time but a good chunk of it is at least one year pinned back. He doesn’t buck out or rear, he has once or twice burst backwards a little at the beginning which I think is just sass, but again I’m not sure. I have a very nice lady trying to show me how to do it and so far I think it’s mostly sass and to just stick with it and instruct him on what to do because he’s only been doing it for maybe over a week and he’s kinda always did it. I’ve done some research and it could be just a young horse thing where they are just trying to figure it out and getting their balance. But I’m still not sure, I don’t want him to associate training and news things with bad experience. any tips about this or maybe things to work on like disengaging the hindquarters would be so so greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!
I'm building BarnPage.com and looking for a few US-based trainers who would be willing to try it and give honest feedback.
I've already worked with a few local barns and received some great feedback, but those tests involved me helping with setup and answering questions along the way. What I'm looking for now is a more realistic experience. I'd like people to sign up, explore the platform on their own, and tell me what makes sense, what doesn't, and what they would change.
I'm particularly interested in hearing:
One thing worth mentioning: you'll see a Plans section on the site. Right now my goal is to build something useful for barns, not to squeeze every dollar out of it. My preference is to keep the core platform free and only charge if there are real operating costs that need to be covered. If there is ever a cost, it would likely be tied to usage of more expensive features rather than basic barn management.
This isn't a sales post. I'm still actively building the platform and trying to learn what trainers actually need before I spend time developing new features.
If you're interested, you can either send me a DM or create an account and request access through the dashboard. I'll get you set up as quickly as I can.
I'd really appreciate the feedback.
Hey everyone. I got a horse a couple of months ago. Ever since I bought him, he's been tripping slowing down from a canter to trot, or turning at slow speeds.
A few times I've barely managed to save myself from falling badly just because everything is going perfectly fine and all of a sudden he trips on nothing. He's only about 5 years of age. And I was training him for polo but at this rate I don't want to die tripping at a gallop.
His feet are maintained by a farrier regularly. I can't seem to find out what the issue is. Any help?
Edit: I forgot to mention, he is completely fine when he runs on his own. No tripping at any speed or turn. Leave him with other horses and he totally good to go.
So I got a colt that was supposedly halter trained from a auction and I'm having issues with him if I manage to even grab the lead rope he takes off and drags me or just rips it through my hands.He won't let me pet him but will take treats and it takes quite awhile to even be able to grab the lead rope.Suggestions?
Hi all, I’m new to the equine community & looking for advice for a new situation we have.
We purchased a beautiful 20 retiring school piebald gelding cob 2 months ago for our 13 year old daughter who has been horse riding for over a year, she helps out as well & has gained a huge amount of experience & knowledge in that time.
My cousin 25 is our horsey expert, grew up with ponies & horses. Everything was going great with the new pony, a bomb proof starter pony for our daughter.
2 weeks ago my cousin who has been given a 4 year old mare to join our pony so they can go out hacking together (she is a hunting horse & not used in the summer)
Now the situation is that our pony & the mare have become inseparable, to the point where they start neighs constantly if we take the pony out, (only onto the passage so far in sight of mare) she paces the field & pony pulls to go back.
The mare is only staying for 2 months so dread to think how the pony will be when she’s gone?!
I need advice on how to handle the current situation & how to plan for the future?!
Please be kind as I’m new to all of this.
