They used to break bottles over horses has while breaking them. From what I understand it worked for their rough method of training...i couldn't imagine ... |

I've heard the tobacco for worming too...not sure if it is true or not...my dad claims so.
The one that peeves me the most is putting a horse on barrels will ruin them. Grrr.
As for biting the horse, I don't know about that, but if they are being a stink about something, if you twist their ear they pay more attention to the ear than whatever it is you are trying to work with them on.
I did have a great grandfather that bit a cow on the nose when it kicked him.  |

I would not use it for horses. The amount needed would need is prolly toxic to horses. My mom used to use plug tobacco on her dairy goats way back in the early 70s. I don't know what kind of worms it worked on but I know Tape Worm was not one of them. They didn't have anything for goats with tape worm so the vet gave her the same they used on people and it worked. Yomesan... |

Tobacco for worming has actually been proven to be effective and published in scholarly veterinary journals back in the 70's or 80's and still holds true today as per my vet, I haven't tried it yet, but the tobacco paralyzes the worms so they let go of the intestine and the horses develop diarrhea and poop the worms out.
The amount is supposedly the same amount as a dip of chewing tobacco

Or you'll end up with an ear shy horse that to this day won't let you put anything over his head. |

But mules are kind of the same. If they get stubborn, hold your hand over their nose til they can't breathe and put a clod of dirt in their mouth when they open it. Once they start thinking about the clod of dirt in their mouth, they forget whatever they were being stubborn about and do what you wanted them to do in the first place.

My grandfather and great grandfather did the ear thing, and they were both good, respectable horsemen and had horses that could be ridden by pretty much anyone from kids to older people. I wouldn't do it in ever circumstance or on every horse or every day. But mules are kind of the same.

Maybe, but effective!  Just kidding. I'm the type of person that when I have to scold or get after my horses, I'm always questioning myself if I'm too hard on them. So far not, but I feel bad because I don't want them doing the wrong thing because I know it will continue to get worse if I don't get after them but I don't like getting after them either. |

BarrelStarr - 2015-05-28 12:08 PM Just constant ignorance about my pit bulls and people asking what my best barrel time ever is. Ya know with no knowlege of pattern size, ground, etc...
Well I understand a little where you are coming from. When I take my Boxer in public I hear whispers about the "pit bull", and when I take my Doberman people start snatching kids up and telling them how mean rotts are lol. Take my golden and people tell me "Oh I LOVE labs!"
So even though I don't have a pit, I'm still judged like I do lol.
I cringe when I hear people say to feed them gun powder to make them mean. Like it's going to make them a better personal protection dog or something. |

What is your fastest barrel time really bothers me for some reason! And the usual oh you just sit there...
OH OMG THAT TWISTS MY KNICKERS. I can deal with the usual uneducated arse-hat that thinks riding is stupid, but my doctor asked me what I do for for exercise, I was like "well I walk a lot, and of course riding my horses and-" she interrupts me and goes "you don't actually count riding as exercise do you!? Sure you sit there but you have to do something that gets your heart rate up and makes you sweat." I am a very pleasant person to deal with in everyday interactions. I try to be the best customer I can because I know what it's like to work with stupid people, but that day I lost it. My pulse was racing and I'm sure my face turned red I was like "OF COURSE IT'S EXERCISE! It takes a lot of work to ride a horse and besides posting will definitely make you break a sweat it takes a lot of strength and balance to ride but it's hard to explain to someone who doesn't know what they're talking about." She got defensive and told me how she'd "ridden horse" before (whatever ). I was so fuming mad I couldn't even form a sentence. Not a good experience and yet another modern medicine failure for me.
I'd probably have told her, "Well, it sounds like you weren't doing it right, then." |

Oh I've been told that one too. "If you want a protective dog... feed 'em gun powder." Protective... or bat crap crazy?
I have heard strangers talking about my dogs to other people, saying that since their ears were cropped that I fought them. Right, these are lean, mean, killin' machines... that will literally pee on themselves if the other one even acts like it wants to fight. (True story, Boxer made a bunch of noise, Doberman took off peeing all over her self. She is my prize fighter lol) Granted now thanks to getting her butt whooped over and over by the neighbor's dogs in our yard, she holds her own. She is still a big chicken though. |

I wouldn't do it in ever circumstance or on every horse or every day. And it is not like you are trying to twist their ear off or are actually hurting them. But I could see if someone got too aggressive with it where it could make them head/ear shy. But mules are kind of the same. If they get stubborn, hold your hand over their nose til they can't breathe and put a clod of dirt in their mouth when they open it. Once they start thinking about the clod of dirt in their mouth, they forget whatever they were being stubborn about and do what you wanted them to do in the first place.
That's just what happened with one of mine. They grabbed his ears when they were training him years ago and he's 12 now and I have to unbuckle his headstall to get it on him and I can't use a browband or one ear, had to take that off. I can't put reins over his head and it took me a year just to be able to touch his ear. |

| I was in San Diego for work and went to the maritime museum as a side excursion. I was wearing my boots, jeans and buckle I had won our NBHA state finals. The lady at the gate asked how I got the buckle so I told her I won it barrel racing - she replied with, "you mean like that thing around cans at a rodeo?" Shaking my head and chuckling to myself I told yes that is how I won it and she looked at me and said, "well don't you just basically sit there and the horse does all the rest?" Yeah, I walked off and could not respond. |

I was told.... In order to get respect from a horse you lay it down. Tie the legs together so they can't get up THEN point and laugh. It "humiliates" them
