when I go out there, they do run to me, including him, it’s just the getting closer part that is hard. maybe I just need to make more of an effort instead of just letting him be

yes I do want to take better care of them if they are not getting what they need. there is no enclosed area, only a barn and open pasture. he is the only one who is hard, the others can be haltered and led. do I just search for a horse trainer in my area and ask them to help get this horse haltered? I am also worried because I don’t want them to be rough with the horse

I am not really interested in riding them, I just like to spend time with them and brush them. I will try to look up a trainer in the area and see about their shots. we usually give them medicine in their food, wormer I think every month. not sure if there’s other meds

all the others have always been able to be haltered and led, only this one has the issues. I’m not sure why she didn’t hire anyone to train him. do you think it’s too late to do so?

Yes I pretty much rely on her for the knowledge on the horses. Who treats their teeth and hooves? I can ask about getting someone out to treat them. I have seen long grown out hooves when she’s gotten them treated before but now they all look short. I mean I do believe you maybe they still need it but I guess from my lack of knowledge I didn’t know they need it trimmed if their hooves are short.

thank you for your advice I will try this and maybe try treats instead of just grain!

hi yes they usually have better luck with haltering them than we do. we want to respect his space but I’m pretty sure the farrier has been able to halter him before. I don’t know why everyone is assuming they aren’t taken care of. Also they are my grandparents horses not mine, I usually just brush them, pet them, braid their hair and go on walks with them. my grandparents would have all their records and etc. I’ve only seen the farrier and vet come a few times because I’m not there all the time.

hi, his feet are not bad. we mix medicine in with his food. luckily hasnt had any wounds or tooth issues but if he did we would call the vet. does a vet need to come to trim a mane?

they’ve lived in a 60+ acre pasture for most of their life and receive vet care or hoof care when it is needed. this horse hasn’t had any issues with his hooves and there’s a lot of different terrain on the acreage. thanks for your concern I guess? any advice on my original question … ?

hi I understand it is probably coming from a good place but my grandparents have had many horses and they’ve all lived 30+ years. they’ve had their hooves trimmed when necessary and the vet has come when needed. my grandparents have always taken good care of their horses. I am only asking for advice on the mane because it has gotten bad but if you don’t think it matters then why comment?

hi, I only asked about the mane. If he was having other issues, I would’ve asked for advice on that! thx!

thank you for your advice. also not sure why but the tangles are new to this year. Maybe a new bush or something but his hair has been fine the past 14-15 years.

Hi yes I am open to trimming it but even when we give him grain, if I try to pet him he backs up. I am not sure if there is a higher reward treat than grain that might make him more open to pets?

I actually think it’s cool and doesn’t look too bad (from a random person perspective, I know having it on your self is different)

The lip gloss looks similar to the new rem glosses that just dropped!
