The first horse I learned how to stop on was a Gunner horse and he was super fun. Even though he was deaf I rode almost the same way. Even when he was spooky, since he was deaf too, he was very willing to trust it was okay if his rider was okay with it. Gunner is one of the best things to happen to the paint reining gene pool
yeah he got hurt a little bit before and they tried to fix it, the rider wanted to just quit showing him but he was like the hottest horse at the time so the owner had like a super prestigious vet do stuff to him and then after this run in the semi finals they decided to retire him and breed him
@painteddakotastorm I'm not for certain, but I would guess that the small ears is just a coincidence, or if anything caused *by* the deafness somehow and not the other way around. There's been too much research about lack of pigment in the ear as a cause of deafness. Just because the blaze isn't huge like Gunner's (bald face) doesn't mean that the pigment can't be affected inside the ear. There are similar circumstances with other animals, like dogs, where they are deaf because of no pigment
@lindalentz54 Gunner IS deaf, it's pretty common knowledge if you just do a bit of research. I can't post any links here because UA-cam won't let me. The bald faced horses do have a much higher risk of being deaf. I'm not sure the details of that, but it's true. Again, you can look that up. Since he passes his bald face onto many of his offspring, then logic follows that they, too, will have higher risk of being deaf. Now, what were you saying about novices?
Gunner is Deaf and some of his Gets and Grandgets are deaf...but thay are very smart horses..but gunner and his foals have small ears...and it most likely the deaf ones have small ears
Breeding him was the biggest mistake. Over 60% of his foals are deaf. Thats like breeding a stallion throwing vlub feet yo everyone. Money hungry mongrels is what this truly is.
The fact that my horse is Gunners granddaughter blows my mind to this day and I am so glad I have her
