@foxy.filly: This #rescuehorse project gave me the wildest reaction I’ve ever had during a training session. #Spooking I can handle, a little #bucking is no big deal. But at the end when he completely shut down… that unresponsiveness and full body shaking. That is the moment and which a prey animal has accepted death. A professional told me I was lucky he didn’t try to flip over as a last attempt to save himself with fear that intense. He now lives as a #sanctuaryhorse, never to be ridden again.

Were you waving your hand at the end, because that's what had spooked him?

thank you for choosing what was right for him. too many people see horses as dollar signs and not souls. thank you for allowing him to have his life

Look how quickly he transitioned out of panic state and starting thinking as soon as you refocused his attention on you in a positive way

Oh yes “the freeze”, not fun. Fixable, but never fun. Hence why I don’t train for others because the “just get on” isn’t okay with me.

To reiterate: this was two years into his rehabilitation, all health checked, lots of groundwork was done, multiple professionals were consulted.

What are you doing with the tapping toward the end of the video? Genuinely asking because I don’t know much about horses

You handled this so well! So sad though that he was sent to a sanctuary. So much potential thrown away due to thinking he couldn’t be retrained

But how you handled his response and how he responded positively to that, was remarkable. He would’ve made a solid horse. But I’m glad he’s safe.

I’ve had a few racehorses that would freeze and flip usually while being saddled . I’ve found that most had a serious undiagnosed physical problem ..

My gelding did this once when I asked too much of him in an indoor trail course. I never took him back. He even laid down. 😳

I really love how you stayed so calm and positive. So tired of seeing the TikTok cowboys abuse the horses.
