Saralyn Wallace That's too bad!  Navicular disease can be managed, though and doesn't necessarily mean she is done.  A good vet can recommend some treatments that will alleviate the pain, but to my knowledge, there is no cure.  I've dealt with many navicular horses in my career and used 3 primary types of treatment: nerve block injections, nerve surgery, and bute.  All of those treatments are up to you and your vet, but I would recommend you spend some time reading up on the disease and then talk to the vet about treatment.

Michael Minotti Nice work!  Having someone on the ground during those first few rides is not necessary, but very helpful.  Especially if the horse doesn't want to move off my leg.   My goal is to avoid kicking and spanking as much as possible in order to preserve the feel in my horse and having a flagger helps.  Just make sure the person on the ground understands when to stop flagging.  Good luck and keep us posted.

Something a little different is happening this Wednesday.

I'm going live for the first time on B1, just me, talking straight to you. Just an open conversation from the ranch.

We'll cover whatever comes up, what's going on here at the Canadian River Ranch, horsemanship, whatever's on your mind. If you've got questions, bring them. If you just want to listen, that's fine too.

Wednesday, June 4th at 6:00 PM Mountain Time

Here's the link to join: https://b1horsemanship.com/programs/live-n4i9brpqu7a

A few things to know:

  • This is a live Zoom call, so you can turn your camera on and actually be part of the conversation

  • It's open to B1 members

  • Show up a few minutes early so we can get started on time

I've been wanting to do this for a while. Looking forward to seeing some of you Wednesday night.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

Be one, Richard 🤠

Mara Carnevali Those instances are all determined by the prep work that the rider has done beforehand.  If I'm planning on putting my horse into a situation where I won't have a lot of training options in the moment, I'll make sure to do some work before I go.  For example, I'll work on crossing scary stuff at home or out in the open and get the horse very well prepared before I leave for a trail ride on a narrow trail where I can't train on them.  Make sense?

OK, Jack had a great idea.  Let's have a live Q&A session!  We're going to go into town this next Wednesday, June 3 and set up a camera and computer and go live!  Stay tuned for more details.

Well, we've been in North Park for just over 2 weeks now and things are popping.  Luna, 5/0, Cash, and Tuff (as well as Jack and I) are working hard and having a blast.  This next week look for a video on getting a horse ready for branding.  I haven't decided which horse I'm going to use yet, but I'll figure it out this weekend.  Let's all take a second and welcome the newest members to the B1 Community.  It's been a few weeks since I posted so it's long list!
