The best thing she could have done was to find a mare to adopt him. Then he learns how to be a horse.

I can see where a round pen would be useful in this situation instead of the large space. Tighter boundaries, more focused… but not so small that trainer can’t escape horse’s potential bad behavior.

Yes she is amazing!

Also his gait seems off? Haven’t watched all of the video yet, but the canter looks REALLY stiff in the hindlegs. Same with the trot

This is Brazil, the vet did the thing against all the other fraditionel vets. In Brazil most horses lives in stalls in confinement. They never in there live get to run free at all, they never get to interact with other horses at all. They are born inside stalls and they die inside stall. The vets are payed by the huge bording places -that have NO land or fields -just ongoing stalls. And all the vets say -this in the right way to keep a horse safe and sound🥲 This is why I travel to Brazil, to try to inform horse owners that the knowledge they get from vets are corrupt and horses need space and herds. So this specific vet, vent against the culture and gave her horse a life where he could run free

@@whenhorseschoose interesting, I never heard of that from my Brazilian friend :) Then again, maybe it also depends strongly on the region.

she did the best she could, I'm sure.

@@eleidal I understand your disappointment that this beautiful horse was isolated from other horses for the first years of his life. I also believe this veterinarian did what she could within the best of her ability at the time she took him in. She saved him from the place his mom died, and that same environment and level of care that lead to that... She took great care as best as she could in the best way she could at the time bringing him into her family, even if she may not have had the best environment or other horses at that time to give him natural socialization, leadership and training integral to a domesticated horses behavior. Nonetheless, It seems she tried to do the best she could to keep him safe and healthy with the resources she had available at the time, housing, resources, time, money, and help available for his circumstances. And even if she lacked in some of those ways, at some point, she has reached out to Mia, and or the clinic Mia is working with to get help for her horse. It's ironic and beautiful even that now her horse is learning for the first time in his life, horse behavior and leadership, but from a person, a woman, who specializes in training horses through their own natural language and behaviors. So perhaps for any disappointment for this horse's circumstances before, we can at least be happy he was lead this way through his owner's and Mia's guidance in the end/beginning of his new life! :)

I think your comment is for the person I replied to?

This is Brazil. It is cultural very different than other places. Most people in Brazil have horses living in confinement their hole life, they never get to run free or see other horses. Most stables only offer confinement stalls… This vet didn’t want to confine him, that’s why she kept him this way. I believe she did the best she knew. Many wets in Brazil say that it is better for the horse to live In confinement 🥲

Most grey and white horses are born brown, then they change colors. moldy horses can be many colors black, brown, red etc. and then they change color and become more and more white with age. most white horses are born brown🙂

many grays are born brown...

I was going to ask the same thing! I bought my first horse about a year ago and don't really know anything. Thank goodness I have a knowledgeable team of people to help me and a 16 year old mare who teaches me how it's done!
