Using Bile Sponge to help Sundance. Dennis & Jess: The Ride - Day 14

The video shows a father helping his daughter, Jessica, care for and exercise one of their horses named Sundance. Sundance is having some digestive issues due to a change in his diet, so the father explains how they are adjusting his feed to help settle his stomach. The daughter then works on lunging and controlling Sundance's movements, with the father providing guidance. After the training session, the daughter cleans up the courtyard area near their home. The father notes that it has been a productive day and that they are making progress with Jessica's commitment to the daily horse care routine. The video ends with the father mentioning upcoming Mother's Day plans with their family.
- The horse is experiencing some digestive issues due to a change in its diet, and the owner is carefully managing the transition to a new hay blend.
- The owner is using a supplement called "bile sponge" to help stabilize the horse's gut during the diet change.
- The owner is having the rider lunge the horse to help it work through some separation anxiety from being separated from its usual herd/stablemates.
- The lunging exercise is focused on the rider controlling the horse's direction and speed, rather than letting the horse control the exercise.
- The rider is learning techniques like keeping the lunge whip low and using it to maintain space between herself and the horse.
- The owner emphasizes that this lunging work is an everyday exercise until the horse accepts the rider as the "better horse" and submits to the rider's leadership.
- The owner has created a nice outdoor courtyard/meditation area near the cottage, clearing out weeds and dead growth.
- The owner plans to add a table and plant succulents in pots in this courtyard area.
- The owner is proud of the rider's commitment and progress, noting she was up early and diligently completing her chores and training.
- The owner is looking forward to a Mother's Day gathering with family the next day.
