What do you make of these?

I know....I just couldn't believe that the trainer was insistent that he wasn't lame, just being "dificult"! he was practically dragging his left hind in some of the footage....it also said in comments that he suffered previous long term unsoundness and that he had arthritis!!
 
Ouch, very stiff, such short uncomfortable strides in trot. Looks in pain and lame. Mind you didn't take much of a buck to get her off, if I were Norton I'd do that a bit more often!
 
If that was my instructor she would have me straight off the horse the minute it was noticed to be lame, untacked and back in the stable.

Also, what's with the bloody niggling legs?! Nothing wrong with a short, sharp tap with a whip.
 
I think that horse was trying to tell them something

I did like the second video the humping of the pommel!

To be honest I am not shocked at the stupidity, the ignorance or the total lack of competance. In the majority of US barns (atleast from what I have seen) it is a case of the blind leading the blind. There are some phenominal horseman and women out here but so far I have met two people who warrant being called a professional.

I also like how they say, I know he is not right.... but the vet said.... now he is off to professional training.... he went a bit lame towards the end due to an old racing injury.... They just do not have a clue.

It is another reason why I support slaughter - cause being killed is better than being owned by retards.

They are very lucky that the horse was so kind to them, seeing as he was in pain.

Shame he didn't give one of those sideways kicks to the trainer as he went past.

Bloody numpties.
 
Oh dear. Poor horse, I don't think any of them could call themselves professionals. I think most novices could tell you what was wrong.
 
ok i agree with what you all said so no point repeating it.

One question, maybe i'm ignorant but what is the deal with the over reach boots on that horse???? Is that a new trend

Did you see this one of him cantering?

Only he is trotting behind, completely disunited and panicked looking and again looks lame. I'm a bit shocked it took them so long to pick up that the horse is lame in those three OP's video. Now Patches IS stiff behind and does drag her toes but she has never shown resentment like that and each footfall of hers is even and there is no head bob.

Gosh....this is clearly what she could be like if I didn't have this treatment......Glad I'm going through with treating her spavin now!
 
My horse used to forge and bruise her back feet on the front shoe, even when in over reach boots in front. I was advised to put over reach boots on her hinds to stop risking her doing some real hoof damage to the hind coronet.

However, she had rolled toes the next time the farrier came and it's never been a problem since.
 
Oh I'm sorry...I hadn't notice that he only had one on in front. I did notice that it was only one behind though.

I agree, it must be trendy!
