What can I find out about my horse with the UELN?
Can I find out anything about my horse using his UELN? If so, what? Greetings Christina 🙂
Overweight horse
ByFrank352
Hello, my mare jumped up to M level. I bought her 3 years ago and she was always too strong for me when jumping, but she jumped everything. I then stopped jumping her for a while because I couldn't control her, but it's better now, she doesn't always jump everything. One day she's great, the…
Are my neighbor's dogs and horses constantly in my garden?
Hello, I'll briefly describe the case. My neighbor has four horses and three large dogs: Dobermans and Doberman mixes. All three dogs are required to be kept on a leash, as there have been several incidents in the past (including an attack on one of my horses – thankfully, the animal was not harmed). However,…
Are school horses more difficult?
I normally ride private horses (my partner is placed in dressage up to medium level) and have occasionally ridden school horses at the riding school. I just haven't been able to get along with them at all. Does that simply mean that I'm a bad rider and can't give good aids because I only ride…
A knotneck usually has a much sharper effect on the horse’s head as a “normal” halter. If you can handle it, for example, it is a great alternative in ground work. However, it is completely unsuitable for guiding, connecting or for the coupling. There is a significantly higher risk of injury in a knotneck!
What groundwork would you think would be suitable with knots?
put, bend, soft – for example
No. Make correct and bend can only be done at the caappzaum.
Explain how to go with the knot necker – because it is not possible to give even fine help and the effect is either too weak or too sharp.
but – in that one can put and bend with it.
How do you think it’s not like that?
No, you can’t put it correctly or bend it. What else would be going on? Handwork as quasi step, faster, slower, stop, etc., it was already.
How? You’ll explain. And “steer” shouldn’t be done at the halter/strick.
keyword can. Shouldn’t. And you should not train horses.
I can’t agree with you at the knot necker as a horseneck…
Depends on what you want to use it for.
Personally, I would never use the part as a lead training and only because it conveys the position of the rope exactly to the horse (so how high I hold my hand).
It is otherwise not suitable for riding or longing or really for leading. So for nothing, where it is only applied laterally.
You have to deal with it. I almost never use it. Only once a year when I have to whirl four kilometers to the next stable in the step to introduce my horse to the dentist. Since it doesn’t have to be sedated, I ride back gradually after the treatment. Otherwise I don’t need the chopper.
I admit, however, that I haven’t done groundwork for years.
The great disadvantage is that the sharpness is underestimated and the handling is not sufficiently learned. This means that 90% of people can’t handle it. In addition, too often cheap material is used.
In the right trained hands a very fine tool, only in combination with corresponding rope – because this is inevitably part of it.
A disadvantage is that many people do not know what a knotneck is used for and how sharp the effect is.
Thus, it is often assumed that you can do or even ride totally horse-friendly groundwork. No matter how to deal with it.
Benefits are as good as none. There can be no fine help with this, it is completely unsuitable for most ground work. So you can't put a horse correctly. The help you give usually has a much too sharp effect. The horse is thus constantly "covered" at the head is then either oversensitive or, if you use other equipment, it is no longer sensitive and you can no longer use or use fine help. it's hard to rebuild. The least can use a knotneck correctly, and if you really should use it only for eg Use leading ground work.
A very good article on the subject: https://www.hippovital.at/2015/01/18/short-to-knot-necked-below-anatomical-face points/
it is like any other foaming also:
it is always as sharp as the hand it leads and how loose or tight it rests and how light or heavy rope and hook are.
in inexperienced hands, even the stallhalfter is a torture instrument.
