THE REARING HORSE

John O'Leary Horse Problems Index, Ridden Training

I rank the rearing horse as the most dangerous of the vices that can face a rider during their career. Give me the buck jumper, shyer, bolter any day as I believe the danger of serious injury is far more acute with the rearer. Riders’ are the predominant cause of rearing in horses under saddle. Horses rear as an evasion and they evade because of either a lack of riding with justice or that the Owner hasn’t “Listened” to them. You see, Horses are communicating to us the whole time and when we don’t listen, the top of the range, […]

HANDLING OUR FOALS WITH RESPONSIBILITY

John O'Leary Ground Training, Horse Problems Index ,
farrier working on Foals

I cringe when I am asked to go and halter break a foal, weanling, yearling, 2 yr old or upwards. Two years ago, 20 year old, 25 year old Brood Mares, never halter broken and you know what means to Horse and Handler alike 🙁 Not only is this highly unfair on the poor horses but also the Horse Trainer. High risk for both but it is the horses that I feel for. I have seen them receive everything from broken legs to broken vertebrae whilst fighting against the simple first ask on a lead rope. Blind panic and the […]
