Are you being a big evil meanine and oppressing his spirit by putting a loose ring snaffle bit in the mouth?
I’d like to bring it to everyone’s attention that I have used the search function to figure out the OP’s name, address, mean annual income, religious preference, and hair color.

I will calmly recap and bring new posters up to date with the information that, according to post #8, the gelding is likely a mare by now. In any case, OP seems to have trouble sexing the horse and telling colors apart for both horse and salt, and what she clearly needs is to hand the animal of dubious gender over to a qualified trainer for at least eleventy!1!! days and get her ass to an Obamacare opthalmologist.[/QUOTE]
Sounds like he needs to be Rescued. Obviously, he’s been “abused!”
[QUOTE=allpurpose;8104139]
Wait! Wait! No one has mentioned barefoot. Please make him barefoot. That solves everything.[/QUOTE]
No, no, barefoot is what he was.
Not a vet and not playing one, but I think that he needs Morrison shoes and coffin bone injected.
Some horses with weak walls and under-run heels, in work barefoot, tend to, eventually, need that kind of maintenance.
The OP said the vet was sent some fuzzy videos.
Not good enough, he needs a full work examination, with x-rays, ultrasound and blocking, once you know which foot he is lame on, of course.
I would not trust the OP to know, I think she is guessing only.

It’s ulcers, of course. Caused by Obama. But you knew that. :winkgrin:[/QUOTE]
Burst out laughing. Now I’m getting strange looks. Still LMAO!

Does the OP actually know what her hair color is?

You forgot mri and bone scan.
I am LITERALLY dying of laughter.
This horse needs draw reins and Perfect Prep. Amateurs.
Just because she only paid a re homing fee of 600 for him doesn’t mean he isn’t worth $10,000 worth of diagnostics, he is her heart horse.

Please PM me.
Pop Rocks - Oh wait - Did someone already say that? :lol::lol::lol:
No, no, no…he needs a Spirit Bridle and attendance at the SRI - Sympathetic Riding Institute in Salt Lake City, UT.
Just remember OP, get a contract written in stone cold crayon or its all mush from whichever pro you choose to fix your bro-mare.
Whatever - he has fistulous withers and needs a course of antibiotic bute.

There you go again, trussing a horse like a turkey (thanks, Tamara, for that image!) never helped anything.
I think the OP needs to post pictures and better videos.
Is he eating beet pulp? Cause you know, all the toxins in it could be making him lame.
Dental work! That’s it, s/he needs dental work! Straight from the horse’s mouth…
No, what this horse really needs is Friendship Training.:yes:

From the website:
"In a Nutshell…
#1. It has been irrefutably proven that positive reinforcement is far superior to punishment in altering behavior and results in a lasting behavioral modification. Punishment changes behavior only temporarily and presents many detrimental side effects.
#2. The Peer Attachment (horse buddies) equine relationship represents an intimate, positive relationship that is easily observed in almost any herd of horses. Horses and their humans in Australia, the US, Italy, England, Portugal and Scotland share this same intimate relationship with Friendship Training.
#3. Physiological responses to stress, (stress hormones) inhibit Memory, Concentration and Learning.
(Our FT horses learn easily and quickly because we use a positive, stress-free learning/teaching environment.) We do not use any type of restriction, whips, lariats, round pens, cordeos, picaderos, clickers, sticks or other ‘gadgets’.
#4. We take a holistic approach including, (but not limited to) nutrition, hoof care and social environment. We want our horse to be as content and stress free as possible.
#5. We feel that there is no such thing as a ‘bad horse’. Every horse in the world was born a perfect horse. The ‘Suddenly Temperamental or Bucking’ article below explains why they may not always act the way you expect them to act.
The three Principles of Friendship Training:
I. I will make my horse feel that they are the most loved, special horse in the world
II. I will give my horse every opportunity to live a stress-free, pain-free, joyful life.
This encompasses a wide range of subjects that affect our horse’s emotional and physical well-being. Bitless, hoof care, social environment, nutrition and physical conditioning are basic considerations.
III. The relationship I share with my horse and their well-being, will take precedence over all else, regardless of where we are, or what we are doing. For what we share is priceless.
In all of our Friendship Training exercises, three guidelines are strictly adhered to:
I. Freedom of Choice (We ask, instead of ordering.)
II. Freedom of Movement (No restriction of any kind is used for teaching/training.)
III. Freedom of Expression (The horse is always encouraged to express their feelings as long as it does not in any way injure their human teacher.)"
