Transcripts
I'm back and I'm sorry I haven't really
been uploading a lot lately
just cuz I'm kind of working on some
video ideas right now I know somebody
requested that I do a video of like
everything that I feed my horses like in
detail but I figured that video would
probably be very short because I post
you guys before if you watch my videos
that I don't feed my horses any like
special grain or supplements and that
type of thing so I feel like I'd be like
they eat this and this and this and of
it today's video I wanted to make
because I know that hay is Maya if you
don't know who that is she's a bigger
equestrian youtuber and she recently
made a video I don't know a week and
half ago or something about her selling
of her horse and I know a lot of people
were giving her hate because she's
selling her horse and so I want to make
a video about how I feel about selling
horses and whatnot so this video is just
my opinion if you guys watch my channel
you know that I make videos a lot of
like this um so take it with a grain of
salt if you disagree that's totally fine
but this is just kind of how I feel
about it
Maya made this video talking about
selling her horse Luna and she was
pretty beat up about it in the video I
could tell she was really nervous about
telling people and she said she's been
thinking about it for a long time
and you could tell she was getting
emotional in the video and you can I
just really personally tell from the
video that she didn't want to do this or
intend to ever sell her horse or have to
sell her horse it's going to be her
second year in college I think she said
and so she really can't afford it
anymore and she doesn't really have any
other choice and she doesn't have the
time for Luna that Luna needs Luna is
her horse so um when I watch the video
I didn't feel sympathy for her because I
can understand in situations where you
never wanted to tell your worth and
never thought that you would have to
sell your horse and then the day comes
where you're like I don't have a choice
you know I can sympathize for things
like that it really was not your
original intention to ever get rid of
them
because I know for me that would be a
very heartbreaking experience which I'm
glad I've never had to experience but I
can you know I can feel for those people
because nobody wants to do that or I
guess some people do which I'll get into
later but um nobody should want to do
that anyway and you can definitely tell
that she really loved her horse and so I
feel kind of bad for her but I disagreed
with some things that she'd said in the
video so in the video she said that she
can't give her horse the time that she
needs because her horse has to be ridden
all the time like her horse can't sit
and be ridden once or twice a week to me
riding once or twice a week is not
sitting okay my horse is sit for like
two weeks at a time because because I'm
so busy with other things that I don't
have time to ride them all every week
you know but to me I don't understand
why a horse would need rhythm all the
time like every day and she said she
tried Koli Singh and it didn't work or
Co boarding or whatever and I don't
remember she said she couldn't leave her
out or something and so yeah so I don't
understand why people say that their
horse cannot sit it has to be ridden all
the time like why why does your work
have to be written all the time like to
me that just says like no I need to ride
my horse all the time otherwise she's
going to be a total pain in the ass when
I get her out the next time I ride her
after she sat for weeks but honestly
that's what comes with having horses you
have difficult times and sometimes your
horse has
bad attitude and sometimes they're great
but that doesn't mean your horse needs
written all the time like you're worse
doesn't need written to depend on their
help or anything or their sanity unless
you're locking them in a stall 24 hours
of the day and the only time I ever get
out of their stall is to be written like
in that case yes I can see your horse
after sitting for a week in a stall is
going nuts because they can't move or
think about anything or do anything so
yeah when you get them out they're going
to go crazy so I don't know why can't
your horse just be turned out to a
pasture and be with other horses and
socialize with other horses and being a
herd and just be a horse because that
all the horses want from us I don't know
a lot of people know that but horses
don't want anything from us humans other
than to just let them be a horse and to
understand them so I mean I don't really
get where she's coming from when she
says that her horse can't sit or can't
be ridden once or twice a week I don't
get that why why can't your horse sit
for a week like even if you write it
once a week like why I don't know that's
how confused I am if I don't get it like
what and the other thing she says that
she wants to ride other horses and try
different things and new opportunities
and stuff but to me I feel like if
that's how you're going about horseback
riding or equestrianism or whatever then
you should have bought a horse then you
should leave horses because I personally
don't believe in people buying horses
for short term and then selling them to
get another one that's going to progress
them or graduate them and then selling
that one later and getting a more
difficult one like that is not what
horse ownership is about to me that's
what like leasing and taking lessons ooh
score when you own a horse when you take
in an animal that's going to be your
personal animal but you kind of make
that commitment to an animal that you're
going to take care of
and that you are going to I don't know
you're going to be their home for as
long as possible whether that means up
until the day they die or whatever but
to me you don't just buy horses and sell
worse and willy-nilly like it doesn't
matter and not that she was trying to do
that because I don't think she was based
on how you know disappointed she felt in
the video for having to sell her but
there are people out there that do that
there's a lot of people out there that
just buy a horse
okay I need to graduate to something
better or bigger or harder sell that
horse buy a new horse my even know
people personally that do it all the
time and to me it's very irritating to
watch their horses go from home to home
to home and a lot of people don't like
horses that have been in a lot of homes
I mean I know Beebe before I got her she
went to a lot of different homes and
even with the same owner you know being
moved around a lot but but I think when
you own a horse when you want to buy a
horse you should buy a horse
that's going to suit your needs for a
long time that's why a lot of people go
ten years of riding and don't buy a
horse because they want to keep
graduating and once they're at the top
and know what they want to do then
they'll buy a horse and kudos to those
people so I don't think that it should
be just like I don't loan off or like
ignored that people just go through
horses like no other I mean I know
people um personally that this one
friend of mine she had so many horses
just since I've known her which has been
you maybe ten years she has so many
horses like probably ten or fifteen
horses and I don't know if she had these
when I met her these really good horses
and then she got some other horses I
work for trail riding and then this
horse had a problem this one was too
spooky this one had an attitude so she
sold those got new horse
those ones got too old and stiff so she
sold books lens and now she has horses
actually showing so to me I don't like
that I don't think that you should just
be like done with this one's done with
that one this one doesn't work anymore
I'll get a new one but horses are living
beings you know they do have thoughts
and feelings like it shouldn't just be
okay to be like and this one doesn't
work whatever else get rid of it like
and that's why it irritates the crap out
of me when everybody all the parents
want to get their kids ponies like oh
it's so cute my kids like five years old
let's get a little miniature horse
unless you plan on keeping that
miniature work when your child grows out
of it and adding another horse to your
family stop buying your kids miniature
horses and I think I have the problem I
have with parents is everybody thinks
that it's just a phase like oh my kids
love horses all by Otis mention horse
and once she's done with it I'll tell it
again okay stop with the ignorant bull
crap put the animal before yourself and
get your kid into some lessons and once
she gets over it and doesn't care about
horses anymore you can just pull her out
of lessons okay you don't have to sell
an animal and find an animal a new home
and put that animal under more stress
and you know Sonny I won't get depressed
and whatnot moving from different homes
all the time and that's why ponies have
such a bad rap because ponies are the
ones that get sold around all the time
for this exact reason and they become
little brats that bite and kick and
can't be caught in all the crap cause
they have to deal with little kids all
the time so stop buying your horses
ponies please or your kids ponies fire
kids a decent sized horse I'm very
thankful that my parents got me two
horses that were you know regular sized
because I can ride those horses until I
can't ride anymore until they can't be
ridden anymore so yeah so what is it
okay to sell a worth I think it's okay
to sell a horse you know I don't want to
sound like a hypocrite or anything like
for what I do with my project horses you
guys know I buy horses
that are untrained that have been abused
or whatever I'd train them and resell
them I don't have a problem with people
that do that because the intention for
this is never to make it my personal
horse obviously I want to build a
relationship with the worse but like
with Chloe I am training her so that I
can send her off later in her life to
have a forever home
and to have a job because Chloe was
freaking insane when I bought her she's
scared of everything
scared of people so really what I'm
trying to do is prepare her for a future
forever home where she's going to be
loved and taking care of the rest of her
life and this doing this is going to
help her do that because otherwise who
was going to buy this pony afraid of
everything you know to have a
forevermore so if you're doing the
project force type thing like I do I
totally understand that because I don't
want to sell Chloe unless she's going to
go to it forever home because Chloe has
that emotional and until damage that I
want to make sure she goes to a good
forever home where she's going to be
taken care of and loved for the rest of
her life and I know places around
there's a place around where I live that
does lessons for little kids and they
have all kinds of ponies like I'm not
going to sell her to some parents that
were either kinder ponies that is for
sure I will never never do that because
Oh
because Chloe would be the horse to kick
or hurt some little kids because she got
scared of a little kid doesn't know
they're doing or screaming and what it's
okay I'm going to put on a rant right
now but anyways so that's one time I
think it's okay if you want to sell the
horse to I don't really think if it
shouldn't be an okay auction just
whenever it comes up for a situation
like Maya's where she really didn't want
to do it and she has no other options
because personally I think that poor
planning on her part I think she should
have prepared when she goes to college
how am I gonna afford Wars Cushing said
he's only had this horse for three or
four years so three years ago she would
have been in high school so when you buy
a horse you know you have to think ahead
so that I wish you would have done that
and thought ahead like how am I going to
take care of these horses or this horse
when I go off to college and make sure
she can afford it but if you have no
other option then I guess that's the
only way you can do it but I don't feel
like people should just be like oh can't
afford the horse anymore gonna sell it
get a new one because that's just not
all right in my opinion so don't buy an
animal unless you are prepared to take
care of an animal very long-term so oh
and the other pet peeve I have I hate
when people sell their old horses I hate
when people do that like when you've had
these horses for so long and that and
now that they're old can't wait anymore
can't be ridden super slow can't keep up
with the herd now you have to sell it
and get rid of it cuz it no longer
benefits you like such arrogance that
right there one thing I did really
respect about the ranch that I used to
work at was that all of their old you
know horses that had served them so many
years of camp so many years of trail
riding they kept all their horses for
life but they didn't just sell their
horses once they got old and couldn't
keep up you know riding anymore
they kept all their horses for life
because their horses were loyal to them
for so long but they were going to be
loyal to their horses back and not just
sell them off somewhere once they got
too old to do anything and that's hard
when you're running a business so I
always liked that about the ranch that
they kept all their horses until they
died but yeah so that's kind
piñon no hate Kamiya ductless Indrani
hey I kind of feel bad for what she's
going through but let that be a lesson
to all of her viewers that you need to
plan this before you buy a horse
especially if you're older in high
school how you going to pay for these
horses when you go off to college
especially if you board them because
board takes up most of them big expenses
and if you're looking at a horse does
this horse have any degenerative
problems anything that could come up
that's going to cost lots of that build
all that good stuff so prepare and plan
for that before you buy a horse but best
of luck sugar I hope or horse find a
great home thing I want to add before I
close off this video is I I wanted to
tell you guys about a girl I found on
YouTube where I really like her videos
and she's just kind of starting out her
channel and I think you guys should all
go get her some love on her channel
she's called dreamcatcher horsemanship
and she makes very similar vlogs to how
I do them and she is also a horse
trainer that has her own little business
