$1000 Slaughter Horse shocks everyone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- Follow along as I enter my rescue horse Romeo into his first competition where he shocks everyone! I compete in eventing, which includes 3 phases; dressage, showjumping, and cross country. You are scored on all three phases, and whoever has the highest score in all three combined wins.
Romeo is an Off the track thoroughbred that came to me 10 months ago starved and untrained. He is so fun to work with and has become my dream horse. Follow along on our journey of making him a competitive jumper and eventer.

Please ask your family to keep this Horse. He seems to be part of it… ❤
Didn't she say in the video that she is keeping him?
The idea of a noseband is not to tie the horse’s mouth shut. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You’re doing great with Romeo! (Fellow Romeo owner here 😊)
Actual question here because I have never ridden English, what is the actual function of the noseband? Because out of ignorance on my behalf it does look exactly like that, is it being used incorrectly? I am trying to learn here so please don't get snarky
@@cindya.esquivel6876 it most likely originated as something to fasten devices to that keep horses from carrying or throwing their heads too high. And now of course those devices get used to tie horses’ heads down too low (sigh)
@@annepettit3855 thank you for your answer, and I understand what you mean by originally we're used for a different reason. I believe that a lot of the original use of certain equipment has been redefined. And abused
@@cindya.esquivel6876 The actual use of a noseband is not to tie the mouth of a horse shut. If used correctly (one or two fingers between the noseband and the nasal bone of your horse, depending on the kind of noseband used) it helps to keep the bit stable. Also especially with young horses still learning to go on the bit, the noseband supports the jaw and therefore helps your horse to relax their muscles. And it prevents horses from opening their mouths too far, e.g. a horse that puts its toungue above the bit or opens its mouth very wide to evade the bit.
If used correctly, your horse can still chew on the bit and also take treats without any problems.
There is also a danish/american study on the use of nosebands on 3000 english ridden horses in shows and competions in Denmark. They looked for micro lesions in the horses mouth and found significantly fewer if a noseband was used correctly (compared to no noseband at all or a too tight noseband)
So a noseband is nothing bad. And without knowing her dressage trainer or how tight her noseband actually allready was, maybe her trainer just wanted to give her horse a little bit more support or a softer, more stable, smoother bit? The riders hands could be more stable and quiter at points (no hate, nobody is perfect) and therefore the horse could profit from a tighter noseband as long as it is not too thight. But thats really just speculating without having been there. If the trainer wanted it pulled really thight, get a new trainer, one that knows what he/she is doing.
Sorry for my long winded answer, I hope it helped.
@@Fidelia2202 thank you for the response, and it is helpful. And I can understand how it can be abused or helpful depending on the people involved. Actually never did understand the purpose before besides holding a horses mouth shut, which I understand now was and is not the intended purpose. Just like in Western riding
My first horse was an auction/slaughterhouse bound rescue, who was also an OTTB, as well. He cleaned up nicely too, like your boy has and is continuing to do.💕 This has pulled on every heartstring within me.🥲 THANK YOU for giving this boy a chance. I wish more who had the experience and also the patience and love to give these horses, would consider it and do so. So many gems out there, if people would only see the potential and put forth the care, love, and effort to see them through to shine.💖
the english and western together looks honestly great
He is such a lovely bay boy. Glad you decided to keep him. It was meant to be.
Man he’s got great confirmation, I don’t blame you for keeping him
You have such a wonderful relationship together. Congratulations.
Glad you are keeping him.
Me too
Wow! What a gorgeous boy. I can't wait to see his progress in the future. He is so lucky that you found him.
Thank you for showing him so much love.
Wow! What a good ending for this beautiful boy! He found someone to care about him! And Thoroughbreds are the most beautiful, capable breed out there (in my opinion). I love seeing stories like this! Hoping to see lots more on Romeo!!
This was fantastic! Thanks for sharing the journey. He's such a beauty!
what a wonderful horse he has loads of potential!
OMG that horse is absolutely precious ❤❤❤❤
Never let anyone tell you to tighten a noseband. They are entirely aesthetic and there is no purpose to them, much of classical dressage (which is biomechanically correct dressage) doesn’t use a noseband. If a trainer complained about my noseband not being tight enough, I’d drop the trainer immediately and tell them why their opinion is bullshit.
The jaw needs to have full mobility to retain a state of relaxation and suppleness.
I totally agree with you. My riding teacher said that my gelding chewed his bit too much and wanted to put a noseband on him. I took it off and told him that I didn't want to, I also refused to let him put spurs on because my horse didn't need that. I also decided not to put a noseband on it anymore or I wouldn't tighten it. I think horses don't need that, I prefer a horse to be able to open his mouth and breathe, I also like not having a bit at all 🤭 (I dropped the trainer lol)
Yes I won't lesson with her again.. didn't like her 'negative' coaching style. (She mainly complained about my riding, with no positive feedback).
Aw, how wonderful. Since other people are sharing their stories of slaughter rescues, I'll input my shocker! My family had a horse sales business. We'd buy low at the auction house, especially during pasture flooding disasters, then sell the horses for a modest markup after a month of feeding them up, grooming, and some light extra training to place them in the right sales bracket. But we always gave a hard no to true slaughter quality horses because most of them were not trained at all and had too many expensive medical issues.
There were a couple college girls bareback riding this paper skin on bones mare who looked barely able to stand, but had very fiery stubborn eyes as if she were fine. I had to have her. I bought her out of pocket, and she barely stood the ride home. After a day of rest and an appropriately sized hearty meal for a tentative recovery, I slipped on bareback with a halter out of curiosity to take her up the short driveway and back only. It drew a huge crowd as we were a public tight knit stable and this was a rare event for us. As she turned to trot back to the stall, she lifted her legs SO high and gave me everything she had, a beautiful gait in appreciation of her oats. Turns out she was a smoky black Tennessee walker. I kept her as my own, didn't ride her again for weeks so she could make a full recovery and exercise first, then we had so many adventures..
She was a whopping 186 bucks by the way, as she was literally listed for slaughter and my father was able to talk to the meat buyers personally to ask if they could please let us bid on this one to give her a forever home, and people were kind enough not to bid knowing what we had planned. It was so satisfying peeling her sales sticker off.. Missing you Sanga, rest in peace black dove.
Sorry for seeing this so late! You are doing super good with him and I hope more and more people see your amazing work/videos and you even start making some profit out of it!! Keep up the great work!! Stay strong!
Stunning transformation ❤
Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL horse!
Amazing. Great story.
BLESS YOU & YOUR EFFORTS. Your dedication, consistency, variability, & compassion are all paying off fantastically with him. I too typically do this type of work. The bond thats created from proper communication... no matter what comes into his life, he's set. I love seeing others use the gifts like this.🥰🦸♀️ Let others talk... your doing amazingly, hun. .... & sadly, ppl starve the horses b4 auction because of their own individual anger, rage, & pain at their own situation they created for themselves, & so are angry & disrespectful towards the horse... some people cant afford to feed any more... some get into a bad situation & dont have any other choice... but to actually go & starve a horse, b4 auction... well that is just human cruelity & anger. Stay focused on the healing work & creating the fun & enjoyable experiences like you are. Its a true GIFT to do this type of work with rightful action leading the way. A true gift to all. Keep on hun. Thanks for sharing the journey. Namaste
4:45 love the minions jump 😭
Romeo is gorgeous ❤he looks great❤
It's really amazing how good he did. I'm so glad you decided to keep him. ❤
Romeo❤
Good eye to see his potential as a rescue!
Sitting deeper in the saddle will allow you to move more freely with your horses movements and will help you relax as well. There is a simple yoga exercise that will help you open your hips so you can sit deeper in your saddle without any effort! You'll find it'll also help quiet your hands. Directions:
1. Lay on the floor with your butt up against the wall and legs straight up against the wall.
2. Slowly open your legs wide to a V shape and let them stay for a while. This will stretch your inner thigh muscles which are also connected to your lower back.
3. Slide your legs closed and then open again a little wider each time. Let your legs tell you when you're ready to drop them further down the wall.
4. Do this approximately 10-15 minutes every night or every other night. Be consistent.
5. Within 2 weeks you'll notice a HUGE difference in how much deeper you'll sit in your saddle.
Get a book or anything else to help make the time more enjoyable and easier to Keep it up!
For comfort put a pillow under your head.
Keep me posted and Best of Luck!
you got yourself a new abbonnee. love your videos
Congratulations! Great Work!
That is the first I have heard of riding with eyes on the ground.
Right? I was always taught to look ahead at where you want to go, not down at the ground. I had an instructor tell me that the horse will always eventually take me where I'm looking, so if I'm looking at the ground, I'm going to end up there 😆
CLEARLY he LOVES jumping the most!!
Had to stop when I heard about the spurs. Sprry
aww! ❤
Once he gains trust in you as his leader the napping should stop. I would work flexion to stop the rear but also work from the ground is vital to show him rearing isn't the answer. (Steve Young Horsemanship is the best on UA-cam re this). But he has landed on his feet and looks stunning now he has a home and nutrition and a job to do where he can use his brain. Super work
Thank you so much for feedback, I will definitely check him out!! I also like Ryan Rose and Warwick Schiller on youtube. I think so too, he's becoming more trusting every month
He is a credit to you.
Significant achievement due to your belief and horsewomanship.
so pretty
2:18 I would definitely find a new dressage trainer, if you want to continue doing dressage of course😄
Also i would never use draw reins, they do not build muscle quite the opposite actually
Did he hurt his back right leg? By chance
I'm no vet or medical expert but does he need testing for early kissing spine?
Sometimes the diamonds in the rough turn out to be the best horses
God help our family farmers ranchers horses
You definitely need to find a nice and kind dressage trainer, but one that works with you first and foremost (and the horse second). It looks like you need some work on relaxing and keeping your hands low and steady. They do flop around quite a bit, so i think maybe when you get nervous, you also tense up. This is why i would suggest a kind dressage trainer. If the dressage trainer can't make you relax, which often doesn't happen if the trainer is sharp and critical from the get go, then neither you or the horse will perform well.
spurs&the flash on bridle need to go
Is he a Ottb
Yeah :)
Are you Swedish?
