This is such an eye-opening discussion! Thank you so much, @Jessica Enslin, for sharing your findings in such detail. And @Zoë Coade, your point about focusing on 'how the horse responds to feel' rather than just the equipment itself is a huge takeaway for me.

This is a great comparison! I’ve been wondering about the difference between rope and nylon halters for my mare, Ssemi, too. Zoë’s point about the fly mask is really interesting—it’s so important to see which variable they're actually reacting to. I’ll be waiting to see your next update, Jessica!

This is so interesting! 162 cm would be such a lovely height. I actually found another way to predict the adult height of an 18-month-old horse, so I wanted to share it with you! It’s always fascinating to see how they grow. Thanks for sharing your results! https://youtu.be/H45SYa-nGiw?si=knVUH7bAb2aFI-Cj

Dental prep... youngsters🐴😬
Hi all, I know we have discussed this but I wanted to post again to re ignite some support notes. I am preparing Storm for his 3rd dental appointment since owning him.. he is usually sedated as reared off the scale with the vet the last time! So... I am using methods of building trust with him when the vet comes... usual methods of approach: - Bowl of nice food to start the experience - Agreed area for the task so he gets used to - Plenty of touch/reiki before vet comes - Touching his mouth/gently around where the dental bit goes However! As he has no bit I have not really worked on this!! I need help with any "step by step" advice for his mouth area so he knows to open it once sedated😵💫 Any quick wins I can practice on before booking... I am planning April/May so I have more time to embed new techniques with him. Thanks all 🤠🐴🫶🥕

@Zoë Coade This is so fascinating! Is that long one in the photo the wolf tooth you mentioned? I actually thought only geldings or stallions got them. Can mares like Ssemi have them too?

@Zoë Coade Thanks for confirming, Zoë! It’s good to know it’s rare for mares, but I’ll definitely keep an eye out just in case.

🦷 How To Check Their Molars…
Hey friends, meet Pom - this handsome chap belongs to @Dagmar Filmer 🥰 @Hyuck June Kang @Reiki Ranch @Lucy Seeley - quick video about the dental check discussion in the other post. 👉 When you do this you are feeling the molars and pre-molars. Always stay safe, watch out for head butts or strong opposition even if there is not a problem. They may also just not like it, which would be the same subject as the mouth. Your hand stays until they say yes - hand goes away when they say yes. Simple, effective, makes sense to them quickly. 🫶✨🐴

Thank you so much for the video, Zoë! Seeing it with Pom makes the technique so much clearer. I love the rule: 'Hand stays until they say yes, and goes away when they say yes.' It’s simple but makes perfect sense! I
