  2. I've watched you for years Lester but I'm sorry Rick is right about Rita. I don't want her to hurt you or anyone else at your farm or the other animals at your farm. You are a sanctuary, it should be a sanctuary for all. People and your other animals are going to get hurt. I'm not saying this out of disrespect, I'm actually concerned. I know you're in a tough spot bc it seems the majority of people are ok with this horses behavior, but I think most people are afraid to say something bc they like you. I like you too. Saying this to you just as I would say it to a friend. What if someone's child comes up to this horse? A law suit would end your sanctuary. Hopefully you won't kick me off for being concerned.

  4. Understanding your horse's body language might be something to help you understand Rita's behavior. There is an excellent website by Equestrian Co. and it has an outstanding article on Horse Body Language 101. Consider reading it. You want to your best to give Rita a good home. She may need to learn better manners so everyone is safe, that means horses, humans and your other animals. Find help for her so she can become a confident and happy part of the herd. I would think that your your strong reactions to her behavior is maybe giving her the wrong message. Good luck.

  5. You know what would be amazing training, buts not viral and trendy on tik tok so you probably won't like it. If you would listen to horsemanship advice, be a good guardian for rita and get her properly trained so she has manners. Who cares about her laying down. You're not the one making the effort to do that. You scream and run like a little girl. So beta.

  6. Lester you are confusing the word discipline with abuse.
    When most people say discipline isn’t meaning hitting or abusing horses or any other animal.
    It’s totally different from what you have made up in your mind.
    And if you don’t establish afternoon for me, we have establish yourself as the leader of the herd with her you are setting her up for failure! You are not doing her any favors by doing what you do!
    One day just spend an afternoon just sitting back and watching the way the herd of horses talk to each other, but when you are not interacting with them, watch them from a different pasture, where you are not involved with them as they go about their daily lives
    Setup a camera and watch them interact, I understand that you are stretched thin for time. But please you have to become her leader because you are not setting her up to be a safe horse but you are setting her up for failure!

  7. Lester, your fear of Rita will keep you from correcting her. She will never respect you as the authority and stop that behavior until you do. It is for her own good and for anyone else who comes by her. Had this been corrected from the start, Jami might never of been kicked. What if one of the kids were to just run off and go in there some day to pet a horse and she kicks them? Being a santuary doesn't mean you can not teach an animal correct behavior. No one is saying punch her. If you would of just walked back up and even kicked her food away. Something to let her know this is not the way to act. If you can't do that, you might as well treat her like she is a Carl. No one goes in by her, just feed water and out. She will respect Uriel as he has no fear and takes charge. But him working with her will do no good for anyone else but him. Use the shield someone sent you to use with Carl if you have to. But get in there and if she acts like that, take her food away and stomp the ground. Do it off camera if you are scared. Don't use the excuse you are a santuary and won't correct a behavior. It is no different if you got a rescue dog and it ran up and bit one of the kids. When Rite bit you on the chest, if she wanted to she could of bit a chunk out. Are you going to wait for that to happen next? She does not tell you to get back because she doesn't want any loving LOL, she is get away, you are on the lowest of her pecking order. I remember the day I started watching you over 4 years ago and haven't missed a video yet! I was upset that you gave all those babies junk food daily. From sweet cereal to crackers.. All the time. I said you may not realize this but giving them junk and over feeding them, is a form of animal abuse. I was so glad when you stopped doing that as they were all so fat and it is unhealthy for them. Every animal besides the goats, pigs, alpacas, feathered littles and ostriches, can be trained. Even the dogs are the easiest to train… like not to jump up. It doens't mean you dont love them if you correct them. IT is because you do love them that you want them to be healthly and know right from wrong too. Same as raising a child. But the longer you wait to step up to Rita, the harder it will be. You will be so much happier and feel accomplished when you do so everyone can go give her some loving without fear. Animals sense fear. To Rita, you are just another lower on her pecking order and she will continue to control the situation anytime you are near. Whether kick or bite you. Please, think about this rationally. Thank you
