In this episode of TRT Rescue, we meet a very frustrated horse who wants to dominate people.
 
He is showing this behavior, particularly to people who are not quite certain what to do when working with him.
 
Owner Britt was near desperation when her horse needed treatment for an OCD but no vet could get near her gelding.

''They needed to sedate him with a tranquilizer dart''

They tried to sedate him in every traditional way, but that didn’t work.
 
The only way to help him was by sedating him with a tranquilizer dart for wildlife, a step Britt wasn’t comfortable with.
 
She decided to quit the treatment and looked for help.
 
During this episode of TRT Rescue you’ll follow Tristan as he takes on the challenge to understand why Britt’s horse acts this way and works to bring back confidence and relaxation. 🌟🐎

  1. Fascinating! I’m excited for her to get her flow going! Ironically when this gentleman mentions too much focus on screen I want to stop watching and go outside and broaden my visual field!! Interesting content.

  2. I very much appreciated this episode. I have a young horse who is mouthy and dominant. Sending him away to be started subdued some of the symptoms but didn’t cure them. Now I see the reason for his behaviour and I can relate. I’m looking forward to the next episode. Thanks!

  3. Hi. What great info. This describes what is happening to me. To many brain injuries and a horse I’m to soft with as the body will not cooperate nor want to be put in a position of more injury. So a back away response and then a 5 year old horse that has no skills but to bully and eat too much. Thank you

  4. What a fascinating episode!!!
    As an (Australian) Physiotherapist I am astonished that Brit, having suffered brain trauma in the past, hasn’t had any/enough neurological evaluation and therapy to address the extent of her losses. It was apparent to me as soon as I saw her physical movement, even walking , that it was awkward for her to move in a fluid way. How incredibly wonderful that this is the avenue through which she will rehabilitate and I have no doubt that this will benefit her WHOLE life moving forward!

  5. Thank you Tristan. Lightbulb moment!!!!
    I have a stimatisium in one eye. As a child they said I had no coordination. I found it difficult to learn to ski. I only succeeded when I attended an Ali Ross clinic. He was an engineer who broke it down into three base movements and I learned to stop. I was away flying down the mountain at Tignes. The computer showed me I had my head to one side and I was able to realign my body. Your video has finally explained a lot. I wish I had known this 70 years ago. Thank you.

  6. As a professional teacher for toddlers, I find the optometrist part about the eyes, most interesting and very relatable to the small children I work with. Have read quite a bit lately about how the brain develops and how the “window” for developing vision – in the optometrist’s pov rather than the optician´s. This gave me more tools to work with both as a trainer and a teacher.
    (Also, how do I find this page when I am logged in???)

  7. I can identify with Britt as she appears in this video. I have a homebred horror of a horse who also bites. However it is only very recently, while we were taking Tristan’s Young Horse Challenge, that it crossed my mind that he is worried about his insecurity when not understanding or not knowing what is expected from him. This came to me when trying to bridle him…no easy matter! I myself have been very unhappy with my vision for the last couple of years. No prescription eye glasses seem to help very much, and recently I came to the conclusion that I was over focusing my eyes. When my gaze first fell on anying, I would see it clearly for a split second, before looking at it with directed focus when I experienced double vision or at least a blurred outline of the object. I am impatiently awaiting the next video in this series, for myself even more than my horse!
