- So that’s why he’s so dangerous !!
When horses show difficult and dangerous behaviour more often than not it is a symptom of a cause. I always try to work out why the unwanted behaviours are showing up on my visits but it’s not always possible to get to the core of them . In this video however I did find the underlying cause being impaired eyesight in the left eye . The resulting behaviour was potentially lethal .
My old horse went blind due to old age bless him. I had a specialist consultant out as a second opinion, nothing could be done to help him. Id had him from 11 months old, he was almost 33 years old when I lost him. He had a little 11hh mare companion and I made a fluorescent harness for her to wear & attached a goat bell so he could find her. That worked very well for them. He lost her one day & was calling her, i was at the bottom of the field, he near the top, i was able to give him directions and guide him right to her 🙏🦄🙌✨️.
To protect his dear little head, on the shelter doorway, I got 2" thick recon foam & covered it with waxed cotton so he didn't hurt himself when he banged into it, that gave him the confidence to find his way in to keep warm and dry.
He was incredible, I was so very proud of him and his little companion. I lost them over 20 years ago 😪.
So touching
I love to reed how you did everything to help your lovely horse👍💪❤️. Powerlove from a Dutch farrier
Wow, that was big. Poor thing, no wonder he is so spooky. Hope the vet checks his eyes out, might be treatable or stop things degenerating further. Lovely looking horses, such a shame. 😢 Well spotted Steve ❤
My favourite thing is when Steve's working a horse alone and Tan is filming and you can hear Tan quietly saying "uh huh....hmmm...yes!...ooh.... good...oh dear..!..aha!..." 😄 It's incredible really because it shows that Tan is as knowledgeable as Steve and they actually work as one mind 🙏✨🩷 what a team 👍
They are a great team, but they have different roles. Steve knows horses inside out and is the training expert.
i rescued a filly that was found with a foal halter grown into her head, and across her right eye. She has the same reactive nature on her right side. Lots of tension and flight response on her right a vet checked and found she could see forward but not side or rear vision. I do consistent groundwork with her using feel and vocal cues, so she knows where I'm at on her right side. Thank you, Steve, for finding the unseen symptom.
Thank the Lord your filly found you! Thank you for saving her ❤️
First move w/ a difficult horse: the vet! But it must be such a relief to any horse, but particularly a blind/impaired horse, to find someone who speaks her/his language.
Knowing about his compromised sight will help him so much. Glad you figured it out.
ANY time a horse is “misbehaving” (according to our perspective of its behavior), the handler should suspect and investigate physical causes somewhere in the horse’s body. I am a barefoot hoof trimmer, and have found that >99% of “bad” or uncooperative behavior is due to some physical problem with the horse, not willful disobedience. Yes, >99%. It took me years to realize that, I am ashamed to say; but please trust me on this. And yes, they can still hurt you without “meaning” to if this is the case, but it is up to us, the mammals with the big brains, to not let the situation get to the point of injury or punishment for physical disability.
Awww poor thing. Well done Steve recognizing it.
Perhaps some better lighting in the barn can help or a bright strip of tape along the door entries or other areas so the horse may get some visual feedback to the weak eye.
Or putting a strip of that anti-draught brush stuff along the wall edges, would help him feel where the edges are, without him hurting himself. It’s got to be doable… just takes a bit of thought!! God bless his owner for calling Steve out, before giving up on the pony!
I can't wait to hear how Nita is doing.
Wonderful work as always Steve & Tanya 😊 Beautiful horse hopefully he's doing better now that everyone knows about his eyesight
Good that this condition was found by Steve. I had a friend with an off the track racehorse that was blind in one eye. He started out as a nervous horse also but eventually he became a decent riding horse and after she sold him we found out they were jumping him at hunter/jumper shows. I think this might have been against the rules, but they got away with it because the horse acted normally even when jumping.
I had to have my horse's eye removed last year. He wears a fly mask 24/7 to protect his other eye and you would never believe he is blind on his left side. He was worse when he still had his sick eye and was more jumpy. My vet told me she's done examinations on really expensive jumpers, dressage and other horses where they have been blind on one side and no one knew before.
Joey can learn to adapt … and so can his owner. Brilliant Steve … always great to sort out what’s going on rather than assuming the horse is just being difficult and stubborn.
It’ll be a learning journey for both of them!
Happy Trails! 🙏🙌✝️❤️🇨🇦
Thank you! I don't own a horse, but love watching your channel!
I hope the owner can help her horse compensate now that she knows.
What a shame for this beautiful horse. At least they now know
But even a fully blind horse can have a very good & useful life---there are people on Horse Plus Humane Society that deliberately sek out blind horses to do trail riding. It takes special techniques 7 a lot of trust, but they do fine, & often they find a buddy to lead them around.
Well spotted Steve.
Now I'm interested in seeing Steve help a sight impaired horse 😊
Thinking the horse can be made safe and even rideable if you make sure to speak or make some sound at all times when on his left side. Once he trusts you to protect him, riding is possible. This worked with a show horse in a barn where I took lessons, and he competed for quite some time that way.
For a visually impaired horse, trimming the forelock just above the eyes will help.
That’s so sad poor fella ☹️
Stunning looking horse, so sad for horse and owner that he might be blind in one eye. Good you were asked to go see him as it could have continued to be missed. God bless you Steve. Hope something can be done to improve Charlie's eye. ❤
That horse has a very healthy ego. He knows he's gorgeous.
Always have a vet check before buying or at least first off once you’ve bought the horse? And, I’d love to have an update sometime on what happens with the horse’s eye health.
Such a beautiful sweetheart.
I get the impression someone else hade already suggested he might be blind in one eye, and she spent money on a trainer rather than a vet? Not saying that Steve is not very necessary in this instance for behaviour, however, priorities....? I hope she is able to go away and think and work through what Steve was saying here.
Frankly, a pony with behavior issues can be a danger to vets and other horse professionals - I’d def call Steve in before having a dominant and dangerous pony examined, if the pony wasn’t in imminent pain.
@MsDormy true, but you can always stick the horse in a crush. That's what they are made for to keep vets etc... safe. Perhaps they have not heard of a crush in the UK?
@@MsDormySteve did nothing that the owner could not have done.
wow, well spotted, no wonder he's jumpy. As it happens, I have a rooster who's lost an eye. Super jumpy, with others to fend off.
Very cool to watch you work
He is so nervous. Diarrhea blowing poor guy
HE IS NOT DANGEROUS!! HE IS A HORSE, ACTING LIKE A HORSE!! IT IS NEVER THE HORSES’ FAULT, IT’S A HUMAN PROBLEM…ALWAYS!!!
REMEMBER THAT!!!!!
1 Why are you screaming?
2 A scared horse is a dangerous horse, just because it is big and strong.
This does not mean anyone is blaming the horse for being a horse or for being scared, it is simply accepting that a scared horse is a denagerous horse.
If you think he is not dangerois, you may make a lethal mistake, for both you and the hoirse, and it would be on you, not the horse.
Please stop shouting. That does no good for anyone, unless you are shouting a warning to others who are present but unaware.
I don't think you watched the vid through. The horse is almost blind on the near side, the side where we do everything. Just knowing this now must make a huge difference. And maybe you are shouting, or maybe you are simply too lazy to use caps only where appropriate. And maybe in your quick trolling of horse vids you went by the title only.
What a shame about his sight, what will she do now? ❤❤
8:04 I wonder whether you could put a white strip of something on the door frame for him.
I'm thinking of the dual colour scheme for disabled toilets.
Sad. What a beauty!
Well done again!
Horse Plus Humane Society has an adopter that only wants blind horses. She actually prefers them. Maybe you could reach out to them for some pointers in dealing with blind horses. Hope that helps.
Awesome fellah
Any idea to his breed?
I recently audited your UA-cam channel and noticed a few on-page SEO issues that might be hindering your growth:
1. Video overviews are not fully optimized.
2. Titles and descriptions lack SEO optimization.
3. Missing high-volume ranked tags.
4. Create Eye-Catching thumbnails
Despite your great video quality, these factors are impacting your views and subscriber count.
Steve deserves max views as his message/training is so vital to horse owners. I hope your points help.
Bless you Steve.
What does all that even mean and are you a legit person or trying to hook into something for your own gain?
@@louisegogel7973 oh, that's all legit language. I don't think they mean it in any kind of harsh way. Most UA-camrs start out with little to no social media expertise. They learn as they go. I've watched this channel improve their filming over time among other improvements . These are actually good pro tips that can help. I think this person is genuinely interested in helping them grow.
Thankfully you found the problem. Poor horse.
Charlie is beautiful!
Awww, 😢 , he's beautiful ❤.
Hope he can learn to trust her, 🙏 and she can be careful with his left side, now that she knows he can't see out of it.
Gorgeous horse ❤
