found this video on youtube, apparently the horse gets really excited when he sees grass.. i have never seen a horse react like this :shock:

looking at her other videos, the horse certainly seems like a character lol

That girl is going to get her or her horse really hurt from allowing that. That is poor handling at its finest.

It's actually really sad because if that horse acts like that seeing grass, it likely rarely sees it, if ever...that horse needs a pasture to run in and is obviously relaying it to the girl who is oblivious. IMO

wow...

American Justice-standardbred gelding great ground manners but when he sees grass he goes crazy becuase he wants to be turned out really bad!
Currently still at the track racing! <--- what the video description says... so im assuming from the way he acts when he sees grass, he doesnt get turned out at all o_O madness....

They both need a slap, if my horse did that round me she'd have a whip across her stomach, chest- whereever it hit.
The girl needs a shake and a wake up call... bit late shaking the rope at it now.. jesus and some people wonder why horses are 'dangerous' ARGH.

Thats not a pasture to small for him to streach hes a big boy and needs to run. i wouldnt think about putting my horse in a pasture that size (unless i had a mini) that lady needs a good smack so does that horse, he should never run around someone like that, shes a little late on disaplin, and she and the horse could have been hurt or worse. its unbeliveable on who owns horses and how they handle them.

The lady needs to be kicked, hard!! That horse needs to be turned out ASAP or else he's going to hurt himself!!! Why he didn't hop that measly paddock fence and head for green pastures I'll never know!
I don't think it's fair to "discipline" a horse who's freaking out because he can actually MOVE! He just needs to be turned out frequently for a long period of time and he'd quit that.

I don't see the horse doing anything bad. If I expressly allow my horses to run or roll on the end of the line, they absolutely know the difference between that and work / "at attention." I can call them back at any moment.

The lack of turnout, however, is cruel and ignorant...

I don't personally allow Duffy to roll in my sight, after working, I'll let her loose in the roundpen and walk away, ten minutes later she's ready to come in. BUT, if you can teach the difference between work/ at attention that is fine.. but looking at that video, the girl clearly has no idea whether or not she's letting the horse mess around, or snaking a leadrope at its head...?JMO

It's not so much the crowhopping and such that bothers me, personally- bubba, it's the fact that she's allowing it to act that way so close to her. He came very close to kicking her and stepping on her more than once. He obviously has no sense of personal space, and could easily hurt her if he wasn't paying attention.

Not to mention the 3 foot fence that's shorter than my mini's fence that has to be less than half an acre of pure mud...

honestly I thought the horse had EPM or something when I first saw him, what with all of the quivering and jerking around.

Wow, that's sad :-( And she knows what is going on, she says so in the description when she mentions how he "goes crazy" because he doesn't ever get to see grass and he really wants turned out. That's just like teasing him, IMO. grrrrr....

Did someone say he was still racing?

My guess is, a bigger paddock means he's going to run off his energy, which they want for the race, so confining him will conserve his energy.

I honestly had to stretch after seeing the video of him in his 'paddock' the poor thing has no room to run..

surely hes still burning off energy being allowed to leap about rearing & bucking & almost squishing that girl? lol

those videos were when he was still in racing, but i think hes stopped now because there are a couple of videos of her teaching him to jump.

I have seen horses who don't have any access to grass, and honestly, I have never seen them act THAT crazy.

I don't think its the grass that makes him act like that, or else he would act like that only if he was out in grass, not in a muddy paddock also.

I think he just has a ton of energy, and the poor guy has no where to run it all off. Thats a big horse, and a paddock a size where I wouldn't put my dog in it without feeling that he would need to be taken out to RUN occasionally!

I would be more than willing to take that large thing off her hands, and give him somewhere to run.

I didn't get those paddocks, I have never seen one shaped so weird... its not a square even, just a... jacked up triangle, where he can barely turn around without touching the other side.

Maybe she doesn't know, maybe she thinks his conditions are fine, and he is just being a "retard". Maybe she doesnt think that he needs to RUN! But she should be told.

Poor guy :(

I have something typed up, but I truly dont want to get her ****** because we talked about this... But the video IS public I guess... The comment is nice though, so I hope she wont get mad :shock:
 
#31 ·
Well she probably will get mad (I would if I were her), but she probably needs to know so she can either explain herself or learn, for her horse's sake. I'm surpruised she doesn't have more comments doing just that already on her page though...or does she?
