How could this poor animal get in this shape

Great video I have a horse with the same issue vet and farrier helping me now.

where did you get your pelham?

Looking forward to seeing how the new shoeing goes. I love the way you describe what is happening and .

I think you should get off his back so he isn’t in so much pain call the vet

Great explanation of your plan to get this horse some relief. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Very good explaination. Thank you!

Really looking forward to the follow up. My horse just got diagnosed with a suspensory injury in the left hind and just exactly as you said it was mild intermittent lameness. He has front shoes but no back shoes; he may need back shoes too (I’m hesitant about it !) but curious to see how this horse responds

Great description and explanation of how you are working to relieve and correct this horse’s lameness. So interesting to me. Look forward to the follow up video

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. ❤

I watched this video several times and recognized some of this same behavior I have been working on in my newly purchased horses attitude. Thank you for these great videos Dennis

Watched your demonstration on preparing a horse to lift his feet for shoeing. Wondering how you would recommend shoeing a horse with wobblers. Two year old gelding that developed wobblers when he was almost two. He's lifting front feet well and using straps to learn how to lift back legs. Wondering if you would recommend using a strap harness when his feet are trimmed?

Found this demonstration very informative. Thank you.

Good advice. Thank you for making g this video .

Leadership so important and can feel like moving a large building sometimes to achieve. Thank you Dennis <3

Love your real time content Dennis as always! When will you have me there!? 😂 🦘🇦🇺 I love learning from you. God bless you for what you do 🙏

DC, you do a great job with that handsome horse. He seems sweet. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

The lope was a surprise even for you 😊

Well done. She's a really pretty girl with a clear potential to being wonderful in so many ways. Thank you!

My horse is still pulling on my hands at times. Should I wait before I make the transition? What leverage bit do you recommend for transitioning out of a snaffle? I really appreciate how you describe your body position and what it communicates to your horse.

Thanks!

so many nuggets here you don't see from other groundwork videos!! easy to see how you can go 'off track' if you are unaware & working without your intention in mind. gonna watch over way more than once!

Great instructions. I would love to see more videos on the progress of this horse learning respect. Thank you again

That is how the comunication with the horse must be built!!! Very small details, but of very big importance!!! Thank you for your efforts to present this to us!!!

But what if you aint experience enough to canter. Will a trot work?

The way learned and was taught was to slowly ease the horse into neck reigning. Around in my part of the country we call pulling on the reigns individually such as what you call bridle reigning we call it plow reigning. Cause the only time you use it is if your in a jam and need quick communication so you plow hard on the reigns. I was taught to slowly apply more and more pressure to the opposite go of where you want to go (if want to go left you put pressure on the right side of the neck. Slowly apply more and more pressure to the neck while slowly easing off of pulling on the reigns. Worked for me and my family for years. Hopefully it can help other folks. We’re horseman who had had horses going back generations and over a hundred years

Nice horse and well done.

Loved the tip about not reverting back to a direct rein if the horse goes in a direction you don't want her to go. That's a hard instinct to fight!

We want to leave the toe to give more surface area and support while the healing angle grows in its natures healing hoof boot. Must address diet and movement. Height in the heels cuts off pedal blood supply and leads to osteonecrosis

There is no prying if that was true p3 would go negative not positive…low heels gave relief. Horses are flat footed

I noticed that you have what looks to be a fairly snug rope noseband on this horse. Is that what she usually wears or is it just to keep her from gaping her mouth as she learns to wear the leverage bit.

Yes sir spot on Steer with your belly button!

My horse is twelve years old and she always kick with the rear when I want the front d vice versa. She should be used to this by now. I cannot hitch her because she busts halters to get away and she does not like to be penned in either. She us a sweetheart at any other time though. I've desensitized her to touch and she will even lift up whichever hoof I tap but when you want to go for it, she pins those ears and evades me. Suggestions?

Darn I like the way you explain so clearly what and why you are doing something yourself, and clearly how you are doing it, AND what you expect and what you are willing to accept. Thank you Mr. Cappel.

You’ve never meet my dentist , Aka -the mad butcher

My horse (OTTB) will go long and deep, before he will accept easy over being jacked up about something.

That was a fun tour. Nothing like a shop that has it all.

Great video, so well explained and easy to follow. Thanks Dennis!

So ive got a question dennis when I go to expose my mare to things that i know are going to make her anxous should i start with the smaller things that dont make her too anxious but just leery help her gain more confidence in those situations then from there build on that confidence as we go into more stressful situations?

So good to see you again Dennis! Face book has been doing some strange things with my favourite reels and hasn't been showing them to me. Most of them including you have been missing. I'm very happy to have you back again. I have all notifications on for you so fingers x'd that fb will continue to bring your reels up ❤

Dennis Cappel Horse Training & Shoeing, amazing content bro

We have a divider in the trailer as there's 2 horses any changes with the divider you recommend?

Fantastic video. Thank you.

What a great shop, definitely could spend hours in there. The owners seem deeply knowledgable, and Elizabeth’s smile is just gorgeous and welcoming! So, do they ship internationally too?

I could look around in there all day

Great store! Nothing missing

My left ear likes this

Dennis, these rope & hobble maneuvers require skill & savvy. Have seen these tools misused.

How do you work a horse (2 yo) who's had rough handling and isn't used to having their feet picked up, and are kickers, and I suppose are generally spooky?
