QUESTION: Good Morning Sylvia. I wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed your web site, and I view it often, and have learned a lot. I have an 8-year-old quarter horse gelding. He is fairly green, and has only been ridden regularly for the past 2 years. We currently own his 36-year-old grandfather, and had at one time owned his mother, so we knew we were getting a horse of good stock. He has the most wonderful, soft temperament, and his only issue over the past 2 years was his confidence, thus rearing up often, but we have finally had wonderful breakthroughs this past season and have not had any rearing up or bucking episodes in the past year. My question to you is: he seems to take the bit easier on his right side than on his left side. Do you think this has something to do with his vision? Also, we did not own him the first 6 years of his life, so I do not know a lot about his history, other than his breeding and that he wasn’t ridden until 2 years ago. Thank you for any information you can provide me with.
Eye Changing Problem - What is an eye changing
problem all about/how is it manifested?- http://www.naturalhorsetraining.com/TrainingTips65.html
But it also might be wise to have a vet check that eye as well, just to be on the safe side, and to rule out first any potential physiological problem.
But if that's ruled out, then assume it's an eye-changing/behavioral problem and follow the exercises I describe in that link there. Eye changing problem is VERY common in green horses, by the way, but is fixable.
