    Not sure he really spooked at a little before the 18 minute mark. He could have as the dog entered his field of view but, to me, he just looked a little fresh and had a burst of energy. He arched his neck and kinda jumped instead of tucking his tail and fleeing. Just my opinion but either way you handled it well by getting him calmed down then proceeding. He's a very nice young horse and I'm impressed the way you are starting him easy, keeping it fun, and letting him grow. Hell remember these lessons when you begin working him again.

    • @rafterL78
      @rafterL78 2 месяца назад

      Looking back the dog kinda jumped just before Hugo did. My guess is, they are playmates when he's loose in the pasture or paddock.

    just a tip here, the liverpool without a curb chain is no different than the snaffle you were using before. The liverpool is a curb bit and the leverage comes from the curb chain. Hildy looks like she got more standardbred than draft. Could be why she is so quick to go. I've had two runaways. Never get out of the cart. Never bail out.

    • @ruggedridgeforest7775
      @ruggedridgeforest7775 3 месяца назад

      I have heard that about the chain and I believe you are right. Although the liverpool w/out the chain does offer additional leverage. Its also a straight bit which alone is more severe than a snaffle. That said, the curb chain would add. As far as staying with the run away... there comes a moment when a collision is inevitable and youve done all you can. Many have died in such circumstances. Risking being crushed by a spreader or slammed in between the horses and the cart were not worth being apart of when I had offered all the input I could and the outcome was inevitable

I love seeing the horses involved, we used to haul our sap with horses pre-1970s but have used a dozer since. It would be cool to try to revive that method since we still have horses, but we'll see.

    looks like you just have a simple snaffle on each horse, also they are stepping out pretty lively, I would not allow that, they need to be consistent and not managed at whatever gait they choose. You might try an over check or side checks to give you better stopping power. They could easily pull you and that cart and a full load of manure on their mouths, no effort. That manure cart is small enough you could use them single on it and work each one individually. Also, with that simple snaffle a straight pull has zero effect if they are bolting. your only hope was to see saw that bit back and forth and really hard jerks to get their attention and refocus on you.
