The horse is lame and her riding is awful so heavy in the hand and literally sawing at the horses gob that horse must be so patient bless him.
Only on Facebook..I don't really know what I'm looking at or what its for but I don't like the look of it
There's only 2 comments, both say amazing obviously.
This reminded me of a video I was shown on a course once of people using donkeys to halter train bulls. Apparently it is a very successful technique!
I was surprised!
Or their husband...that was a grown woman.Maybe their mother wouldn't let them put it in the washer
That sounds very similar to what they were doing with the bulls.
One of the problems is that vets can often not see a bilateral hind leg lameness. I've had this myself, the unpredictable, dangerous behaviour of my DSLD horse was thought to be caused by my anxiety and poor riding. My vet at the time claimed that DSLD/ESPA didn't exist in this country. My wobbler was initially diagnosed as having a virus as he was lethargic, not moving forward properly, toe dragging and stiff. You need to be very confident to advocate for your horse if experienced trainers blame your riding and a vet says the horse is sound.
I had a bolter, it was unpredictable and not like that pony at all.
Thankfully my husband doesn't see what I put in the washing machine he would be horrifiedOr t

I'd put a sad emoji. I wonder if I'll get shouted at!
. Not a great advert for doing your BHS exams if it’s churning out people who use their qualifications to market themselves as specialists who cannot identify a lame and in pain horse.
Worst riding I have seen in a while
Only on Facebook..
I presume that @ycbm is correct, but personally it reminded me about mares who also work as draught horses. I've seen a few old black and white photos from Sweden about 100-90 years ago, were Swedish Warmblood mares used for some light draught horse work, sometimes had their foals tied to their sides while working. Occasionally it still happens a bit even in these modern days, at least with some Swedish draught breed mares with foals.
Considering that the modern Swedish working draught horses I know of is usually owned by persons who only work their horses as a hobby, they're hardly run ragged, and they still get time to do what other foals do the rest of the time.
Gypsies still do it here to get a youngster used to traffic and used to being followed by a wagon. It's called "side-lining". I haven't seen it done with a small foal recently though, it's usually when they are 2 or 3. The older horse isn't necessarily any relation. It's really hard work for it.I presume that @ycbm is correct, but personally it reminded me about mares who also work as draught horses.

I thought that was different the 2nd horse comes into play on steep hills etc well what a traveler friend told me
Yes you are right, following day horses are sometimes swopped position so horse get a semi rest day.
Not when it's a youngster. This is 2 different things I think. The sidelining harness isn't suitable to take any weight. It doesn't attach to the wagon at all, only to the lead horse.
A youngster may be tied next to an experienced horse to gain confidence. A experienced driving horse will be attached to the bow top / dray by an attachment fitted to the offside of the vehicle called a swivel tree they are about 3ft long ( 90cm) and pivot from the centre and project out about a foot (30cm) beyond the side of the carriage, the driving harness tracers are then attached to this as it would be to a set of shafts, so the horse would then be taking some of the strain.
Thank you. Yes, it was the youngsters I was thinking of.
