      Poultice. It improves blood circulation so helps the legs recover, helps to prevent or heal injuries. In this case helping his legs recover from the race like a quarterback would ice their shoulder after a game.

    • @apharoah12
      @apharoah12  Місяць тому +7

      The pressure from the lip chain releases endorphins and helps to calm and relax the horse...essentially like a baby's pacifier. Notice the only time they have it on is when he comes out for his bath surrounded by media. He's naturally a relaxed horse, but it helped to keep him calm in what could have been a stressful scenario. I saw him get his bath this morning when there was no crowd and he wasn't using it. It's just designed to keep him relaxed.

    What sweet horse...I don't follow racing and not an equestrian but I do subscribe to some horse channels. He seemed very content chomping on his hay and he seem to know the lady and she was petting him. Then comes the young woman who takes him to get washed. She didn't even greet him...was all business and why was that chain in his mouth. The man washing him also showed no connection and just threw water at the poor horse. The horse deserved some extra TLC for winning. I have watched horses lovingly being washed and brushed and so this was shocking and uncomfortable to watch. Fortunately, the horse was well behaved.

    • @apharoah12
      @apharoah12  Місяць тому

      They have a job to do. Mystik Dan is one of 40 horses his team cares for. They all need to be trained, walked, washed, etc and the track is only open for 3.5 hours. They got to move on to the next horse. That doesn’t mean they don’t care for him, they just go give him love once they’re done with everyone, which they do. I have spent many hours around that barn in the last week and every single member of that staff loves and cares for him so much. They are also tremendous workers and are dedicated to the tasks at hand. They start at 4 a.m. and many of them live on the track itself. It is their life and their passion. It’s easy to see the owners in this video showing him love because they don’t have anything else to do at the time. The workers didn’t have their luxury, but once work is over they’re in the stalls with the horses showing them love. You can tell by how well mannered Mystik Dan is how well they care for him. As far as the chain, it’s a lip chain. It puts pressure on his mouth which releases endorphins to help keep him relaxed, like a baby’s pacifier. He wore it when they were going to bring him into the sea of media to help him stay relaxed and took it off once he was out of that scenario. That’s the only day they’ve used it with him because it was a unique scenario where they didn’t know how he’d react…he took the attention like the champ he is.

      They are typical backstretch workers, for better or worse. If you want your racehorses to have extra time spent on them like a pet, you will need to provide that yourself. The "big horse" (the popular one of the moment) gets all of the extra attention.

      The lip chain does not hurt him. If it caused him any discomfort, it would be covered in vet wrap.

      @selfcaresally Місяць тому +1

      That chain config is totally normal for safe handling of lots of colts, especially when they’re surrounded by press and random people. His handler removes the chain from his gums around 13:00 when he’s proven that he’s going to stay chill. In all of the other videos he’s just got it looped around the noseband. He’s so much more chill than most other 3 yr old TBs! He’s calm, curious, unafraid, and barely even mouthy at all which, again, is not normal for a TB colt (although he does nip his owner at about 21:18). He doesn’t even mind having his face, ears, and crotch washed! 😝Evidence of fabulous and gentle handling.

      The lip chain does not cause discomfort, it actually does the opposite. The pressure releases endorphins which help to relax the horse. The only time he wore it was when they brought him out into a sea of people since they didn’t know how he’d behave in that scenario, it gave him some extra comfort. Like a baby’s pacifier. As soon as he walked away from the scenario it was removed and he hasn’t used it the rest of the week. If it did cause any discomfort, it would be wrapped in vet wrap. It’s a tool that helps relax the horse, doesn’t give any pain.
