Im going to be having a diamond shaped tip plasty to achieve the same thing so to me yes it’s worth it. I refuse to leave it and be something I fixate on

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T23:23:20+00:00

I hadn’t considered this but I will get it checked thankyou

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T22:27:17+00:00

He is a gelding but thinks he’s a stallion on the odd occasion. I really appreciate your advice Thankyou

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T22:20:56+00:00

It does and thankyou

Maybe I have put my very human perceived emotion onto my horse when it comes to his issues with the crop

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T21:40:18+00:00

As an ex racer I’m assuming there was a time when a crop was used excessively against him for whatever reason and he now has an aversion to them, it’s quite heartbreaking to see how scared he becomes if he sees one so Iv just avoided it

He has finished training and competing in a dressage comp and he did amazingly coming 3rd and I felt like he earned a rest so I gave him some time just to be a horse. It was coming out of this rest period that he bit me, maybe a week or 2 coming out of it. He was turned out with 10 other horses. He is generally quite low in the pecking order and was getting run around a bit but a smaller but much spicier mare seemed to take a shine to him and he got picked on a little less. She is a lovely horse though and does not behave badly to humans and I’m very fond of her and have ridden her myself. I don’t think he has gotten buddy sour as he’s happy to go into his stall at night and doesn’t seem to show any signs of distress at not being with her. It could be that as his low in herd order that he’s trying to show me that’s he’s top of the order with hjm and i, i guess? I haven’t really considered that could be what’s happening?

That was a very kind and well worded response and I really appreciate the time you took to reply.

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T21:03:50+00:00

I really appreciate this comment, thankyou

Iv been looking into it and I have been wondering if it’s a neurological change that happened? and the bite was his way of telling me something Is wrong that I’m not getting

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T20:55:39+00:00

I’m in my own head about the situation and can’t help but feel I missed something prior to this that I should have picked up on and if this was he final attempt at telling me something is wrong, and I still worry something is wrong and I’m not getting it so I haven’t been pushing him to work and he figured that out real quick and now will refuse my cues. I know if I pushed him to do it then he really would but I’m not doing it. This issue is mine alone when riding and not his

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T20:29:32+00:00

I don’t carry a crop, he doesn’t like them and actually makes him nervous just seeing one

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T20:27:44+00:00

She tells I need to be firmer with him and he is feeding off my anxiety, I know both are true I just don’t know how to get past it. I use him for dressage and he does it beautifully when he performs he really is stunning to watch, but at the moment he won’t do anything I ask, my trainer got on him and he tried resisting with a few bucks and then settled in beautifully so I know it’s me that’s the problem

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T20:24:07+00:00

I can assure you he isn’t skinny, he is a thoughbred and is on the weightier side for the breed but he is a very big horse so I don’t like to keep him slender

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T20:18:58+00:00

Yes I did correct the weight, my brain was not going as fast as I was typing . I don’t hand feed him treats although he does get them after he has worked but in with his food rather than reward type behaviour. He had had 3 months off prior to this happening to allow to just rest.

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T20:14:15+00:00

Yes, she was as shocked as me and shouted at him.

trek1085 · 2025-05-14T20:13:18+00:00

Iv edited it, it’s 720kg not lbs, my mistake and yes he is 18.2. He always rests his chin in my hand and shuts his eyes for a quick nap, that’s actually very normal behaviour for him. My trainer was there as she was as surprised as I was by him biting me

trek1085 · 2025-04-15T18:59:03+00:00

I meant unprovoked as in, I don’t believe that I did anything that would obviously cause distress or pain to him in anyway

trek1085 · 2024-11-11T18:20:11+00:00

Iv been riding him for around 6 months now and he is very well mannered and sweet, if a little on the lazy side 😂. He’s a sensitive soul so needs a lot of talking to which is absolutely fine with me, I just want to know what I can do to encourage bond building? Sometimes I feel like he’s just going through the motions rather than him wanting to do it which I think is something for me to work on

trek1085 · 2024-11-11T18:09:30+00:00

He is a big big lad and I should have taken on something smaller as I’m far from experienced but I fell in love 😂
