oh god han, as much as I know we have all missed you, absolutely nobody can fault you for the time off you needed to take. whike you were gone i found myself just rewatching your vids because i love them 🥰 the amount you care for your horses is incredible. I had a similar instance where my horse completely changed on me almost overnight and it took 3 vets and a chiro to finally find out what's going on, so I felt good on the sense I at least knew him well enough to see something no one else did.

This just proves yet again how great an owner u are!!!So many riders wouldn't think of doing half the out-of-the-way things u do to keep ur horses happy and healthy 😊 😍love u han

I am happy to see you back! You had a long stretch of bad luck, happy to see things looking better. You are a great owner and your horses are lucky to have you!

Happy to see you're back!! Sorry to hear about all the bad luck these past two years. Crossing my fingers that you're on the right track now and things only go up from here. xoxox

Don’t feel so bad, I’ve got five horses and I can’t ride any of them…. Three are retired from old age and the other two are young and difficult under saddle so I’ve got the back to the basics after a break

Oh man, you have been going through it! I’m so glad that Peach is progressing nicely. You definitely deserve some good luck.

Delighted to see a post from you and fingers crossed that your future continues to look brighter!

Yay! It’s so nice to see you back! Sorry to hear about all the stuff with the horses. That sucks you had to retire fletch but it’s the best thing to do. I’m sure he’s gonna be a happy boy living his best life in the paddock! I hope things continue to go well with Peach!❤️❤️

So glad you got a break from all of that! Congrats on the engagement!(its probably way past that now) 🤪love your videos ❤

This is the first video of yours I've seen and I subscribed immediately. You seem like a great responsible owner. I'm looking forward to seeing Peach getting better!

Just for anyone watching this, headshaking doesn’t have to mean retirement. There’s many things to try and it’s different things for different horses but you can treat the symptoms and usually have a rideable horse.

So sorry you're going through a bad time Han. I'm glad Peach is on the mend! Can't wait to see some content from you! :)

Wish you and your horses all the very very best!! They are definitely in wonderful hands 💜

I’m so sorry Han

Looking forward to what the future brings for you. Keep your chin up, you're such a strong person!

Glad to see you back and Peaches is ok. 😍😍

So glad you’re back! Horses are heartbreaking but for some reason we feel the need to keep at it🤣 I have my fingers crossed for you! X

So good to see your back😊

I am soo sorry for your bad horse luck but I am glad to see you persevered; I its nice to see you and yours again. Best wishes!

Yikes, that is a big pack of bad luck. I'm so sorry to hear, hopefully it's onward and up from here. x

I'm sorry for your bad luck. I would have loved the whole 45 min video though.

Oh my god what a ride. Good luck with the rehab!

Don't feel like you are alone in this. I feel you!

Girl you deserved a break. Well done for persevering with it. I had a real rough year with both of my horses. My old boy was very sick and wracked a vet bill of god knows what and my ridden horse through her back out and got an abcess at the end of the year. We move to a private yard in feb of this year and I rode her for six days a week for about six weeks and she was loving it and I was loving it... and then her shoulder blew up and it all came to a stop :( She is okay and I have my vet physio coming to her at the end of the month but its so incredibly disheartening. I am so so glad that you and Peach are able to get back to work no matter how minimal. Love your videos and your horses

I am so sorry! I will be praying for you!

So glad to hear Peach is on the mend and hopefully we will see more of you again soon! Did you ever decide on a show name for Tic Tac?

Oh man I really feel you. 💜💜 My 14 year old mare might have to be retired (and we don't even want to talk about the other worst case scenario that is looming.) She had a bad acute laminitis case from Jan-March 2020, recovered and we put her back into ground work and then riding end of May 2020. We were then able to fully work with her for an entire year until she fractured her back splint bone in the herd in June 2021. Had to go in for surgery. In August 2021 her coffin bone lowered and penetrated to the sole. She had to have another surgery for that. Then a keratoma formed in the same hoof in October, which had to be surgically cut out again. 🙃 So she hasn't been worked since June 2021 and been on and off lame since then and kept in a paddock since October 2021 instead of being in a herd 24/7 how she has been for her whole life and I don't know if she will ever even workable from the ground again. She's had X-rays and been in the MRI and they still can't find another reason as to why she is lame. It sucks so much when we don't know what is happening with our beloved pets 🥺

God Bless you and your Beautiful Horses, may Luck be on your side!

sorry to hear this but youve done so well despite all the bad luck! im glad youre back though

I feel you! I have been through the exact same. I bought my 7yo TB mid last year and he went lame at the start of the year. Multiple vet visits and false start diagnosis issues we finally have an SI injury diagnosis after a $3k scintigraphy bone scan 🤦🏻‍♀️. Anti-inflammatory injections in his SI appears to have had no effect. $7,500 in vet bills, 4 months and he is absolutely no better so I’ve pretty much accepted I have a retired 7 yo. I also can’t afford a second horse either so I guess we are both retired. I feel you so much. Everything in this video is my last four months! Good luck with 🍑

Sending prayers for you&horses!🐎🐎🐎🥕🍎🙏💐

Geez, you really did have a rough time for the last couple of years with your horses 🤕. Fingers crossed that Peach recovers fully🤞🤞🤞

I'm so sorry hope that peach is well

WOW 🤩 big moment!

when you were talking about possibly retiring peach as well and fletch never coming back into work made me so emotional. both my horses now cant be ridden and we still dont know whats going on with my gelding, they cant work it out. hopefully have answers soon! i haven't ridden in 8 months, its torture. but my animals come first always xx

Best of luck! I've also had rotten luck the last couple of years, most recently my foal, got a tiny scrape on her knee and it turned into a joint infection. Ended up at the horse hospital.....10k later. I think vet bills in the last 2 years have been around 30k NZD. Painful!

Omg that must have been devastating with all the bad luck, but so happy peach is on the mend. I know what it’s like to have a stretch of bad luck. My horse almost died the day I graduated uni back in 2020 and then had the vet out for tendonitis 4 times within 6 months in 2021 and all from him being silly zooming around his paddock. Definitely not fun for my bank account 😬

I'm sorry to hear about fletch!🐴😓

Hope Peach’s recovery goes well

Im so sorry for your bad luck. I have had a bad luck stream also and it’s so sad and stressful. Between my 2 girls, I spend thousands of dollars in vet, both of them were hospitalized during the past year 😩😩😩 I’m glad to know Peach is getting better ^_^

My pony use to head shake quite badly. It was partly ulcers, but it was mostly the micklem bridle. We changed him into a snaffle bridle, and he has completely changed!

For your horse that headshakes. Look into a drug called cyproheptadine. It has worked wonders for one of my horses who also has headshakers and didn't respond well to any other treatments. It is vet prescribed. Now he is in almost full work, and happy as ever. Yes there are still some days when it's worse, but the good days significantly outweigh the bad ones!

Got to be honest, you gave me a heart attack for a second ( and I would not mind a 45 min video XD) .. lol x)

Look into cold laser therapy. It works amazing on tendon and ligament rehab. It isn't too well known in Australia but is very popular in America.

This is the first video I've ever seen of yours, it's very clear you love your horses. Does Peach get any PEMF? Also, someone you might want to check out as well is Celeste-Leilani Lazarus, could be super helpful for all of your lovely horses. Cheers!

Im sorry if this is late but this is regarding feltch, maybe you can do some liberty work with him? It would be cool to see you try something new with your horses :)

Currently experiencing this now . I have a 22 year old mare , she is rideable but has arthritis and is stiff some days more then others . Then my 4yo broke a bone in his pedal bone due to constant abcesses because of all the rain we’ve had 🫠 I’ve spent so much I could’ve bought another horse for this price

Hi Han, my last horse developed headshaking syndrome so i know what you're going through. there are some short clips of him under my account, it's a devastating condition. It took me almost 10 years to find something that actually helped my horse but by then he had significant neck arthritis and developed neurological issues. presumably from the excessive motion in his neck but who knows really. anyways. i constructed a mask for my horse which eliminated 99% of his symptoms and he was happy to work with it on. what I eventually discovered was that his trigger was tiny particles impacting his nose while he was in motion - a cloud of small insects, even individual grains of sand flicked up from the arena base when we were doing stretching work with his nose down and out. he'd stretch out.. get a sting in the nose from kicking up sand.. throw his head up.. stretch out.. get a sting in the nose.. etc etc. this mask protects the upper and lower side of the horse's face/jaw and provides something of a shield to stop small debris from making contact with the skin, which was a trigger. my horse has now been put to sleep and I don't have another, but I'd be happy to send you the mask if you'd like to try it on your horse? i'm in qld so postage should be quick. If you'd rather not, that's okay. if your horse's headshaking is significantly improved working on grass as opposed to sand, consider it may be small pieces flicking up at him from the ground.

Have you tried nose nets and/or masks for your head shaker?

So upsetting everything that's happened!! I'm glad you're back, but also glad you took all the time you needed to to put yourself in a good place again. I hope rehab with Peach continues to go well!

🍀💜

Seriously. Horses!!! I tell ya, sometimes I wonder why I even bother. One of mine started at the end of 2020. Major leg injury, then after it healed she got really sick finally after a few months she got better then she rips her back leg open. And at the end of last year another one of mine sliced around the out side of his hoof down around the heel bulb. It’s honestly one thing after another lately 😔. Hope things keep getting better for you.

People really forget that riding isn't everything, that the most bonding things you can do with your horse is on the ground.

han is wayyyy better than this esme, love you han

What is head shakers?

Will you get anymore horses

Ok I know this is crazy and I don't know that much about horses. But if the bridle is causing the headshakes, could you try riding without a bridle? I remember seeing a story about a girl who only had one arm and she used a loop around the neck.

What is head shaking? Is this like their ear is itchy and they don't want the halter on, or is it a seizure type thing

Hope the tables are turning. How old is TT yet?

so are you going to get a riding horse now or are you just going wait tic tac is old enough to be ridden

Could it be the bit that triggers him? What about training him to ride without bridle?

can i just say it may be hay fever bc my horse have it :) (just wonted to ask / say ) :)

Hi

Tictac will never be rideable?

u should look into bone adaptations in young horses!! my 2 year old and tictac are like 2 months apart and i’m riding her 😅 definitely not bad to start young if you do it right!

Not to be mean but maybe you could rescue or buy a new horse ?

You can start a 2 yo, you just can't do anything excessively huge

Aaaaand the clickbait strikes again. why. There is literally no reason to do it, the actual content would've been perfectly fine with an appropriate title.

I'm so sorry the Plandemic affected you this way. It's so hard when you have horses to support.
