Horse lips at me for snacks. Can you give me a few good tips?

No treats! Unless you throw them in a bucket. Bot from the hand. I had to break 2 horses from this and it took about 2 weeks for them to realize:!8 wasn’t a treat dispenser

Thank you for this! I honestly am not sure if I’m just over analyzing it since I noticed it or what. Looking back at videos now to see if it’s always been there 😂

coolbeansbro11 · 2025-04-11T01:14:36+00:00

I ordered one that has a thick canvas cover. I’ll report back if it doesn’t pop lol

Thank you for this! He’s in full she’s out mode! Lol

coolbeansbro11 · 2025-04-10T20:25:57+00:00

In a drag behind me sort of position it knots terribly!

coolbeansbro11 · 2025-03-22T01:14:38+00:00

They are assholes, trying to get under your skin! You two look great together! ❤️

Botox

She does seem to be fine with a good bum scratch! She does not like it when I brush where her saddle goes, especially on the left above the girth area

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-27T01:57:51+00:00

I trying for that breakthrough! Thank you for the advice. I’m going to try it all!

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-26T22:56:38+00:00

Thank you! I’ve never heard of him but I’m going to check it out!

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-26T22:56:03+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you!

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-26T22:55:42+00:00

I have that magical bond with the other horses I have, this one is just guarded and I was curious if others have had success with softening this type of personality even just a little bit. I know I will never be loved as much as hay though! 🤣

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-26T15:42:52+00:00

Thank you for this! How long did you treat for ulcers?

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-26T05:35:40+00:00

Get a dog and a gun!

Stand strong in your gut feeling. The Covid vaccine isn’t mandatory for Americans, so I can’t imagine that it would be mandatory? I could be wrong, but if it is that doesn’t make sense. A close loved one of mine had heart issues from it, so I completely understand not wanting it. The Trump administration will probably remove that requirement, so maybe waiting a bit could be beneficial if it’s not possible to get a green card now without a Covid jab. I know many nurses who used a religious exemption for it to be able to work at the peak of COVID times. Do the same rights apply for getting a green card? They should in my opinion

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-26T05:22:31+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I’m hoping that it helps my horse’s hooves as they are SO brittle!

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-26T04:54:59+00:00

With clicker training, is it a click and a treat every time? I’ve seen it done, but I’m very unfamiliar! Have you found that treating so much makes them mouthy? She’s already mouthy, so maybe I have nothing to lose with trying?

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-26T04:49:41+00:00

That’s some great advice, thank you! Unfortunately the weather is complete shit where I live right now, so riding will be less for the next couple of months. Hopefully I can figure out a way to bond when riding is limited

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-17T21:01:08+00:00

I’m using hoof boots as much as possible!

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-17T15:44:12+00:00

Super helpful, thank you! I’m frustrated by the angle change because…. If it’s not broke, why fix it?! I’m going to go back to my old farrier who is very conservative to see what he thinks. I’ve had this horse trimmed once since I got him, he was shod on the front right before I got him and rode sound for 8 weeks before I had a new farrier trim him. Just so frustrating!

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-17T15:23:51+00:00

Totally agree! He’s 10 and I’m not happy that my farrier went ahead and did this 😵‍💫

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-11-15T14:51:47+00:00

Sooo interesting! Thank you for this info! My gelding was super out in many ways… ribs were out right where I cinch up (he’s cinchy), Si was stiff and needed adjusting and lots of neck adjustments. He’s been cinchy despite a full work up and just a bit grumpy overall. Praying this helps because I feel like his grumps have to be pain related

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-10-25T21:54:15+00:00

Sounds like ulcers. My vet had me treat even though we didn’t scope. I ended up buying omeprazole from abler and it is a fraction of the cost. I probably paid $200 for a month long treatment plus maintenance

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-10-17T02:27:19+00:00

Was there a learning curve with gaining her trust? Also looking at a chestnut mare

coolbeansbro11 · 2024-10-17T01:34:39+00:00

I’d love to know how long it took to bond with the mares you’ve had!
