What's your opinion on stabling horses?
- It's animal cruelty, and should never be done
- Horse should have 8-12 hours of turnout per day
- Simple - in at night, out during the day
- 24/7 turnout with a shelter is most ideal, with some exceptions
- Horses only need a few hours of turnout, especially if they have toys in their stable
- Stables look super cozy, so I think it's nice for the horse
- They used to be wild, they'll be fine out in the paddock
What does it mean when a horse yawns?
- They are tired
- They are relaxed
- They are releasing tension
- They want their noseband loosened
- They need their teeth cleaned
- They need a grackle noseband
What is your opinion on giving horses treats during or after training?
- It creates a nippy, disrespectful horse
- My horses can have as many treats as they want!
- I clicker train, so I think it's fine (using low-value treats)
- Only at the end of training, if they've been good
Your horse has started leaning on the bit and pulling the reins, what do you do?
- Work on transitions, circles and half-halts

- Both of the above (1&2)
- When the horse pulls, I pull back, harder.
- Switch the bit mouthpiece to a waterford
- I don't know what that means...
What's your opinion on metal horseshoes?
- They're needed for jumping, rough terrain, and some medical conditions
- I prefer barefoot, glue on shoes, and hoof boots
- I think all horses should be barefoot. No exceptions.
- Idk much about shoes, but videos of shoeing are so satisfying!
- Shoes look really painful
- If a horse does rocky trails, chuck some shoes on. Simple.
How do you feel about bitless bridles or sidepulls?
- They can be extremely severe, so I don't like them
- They look cool and gentle, I see them a lot on social media
- Most aren't competition legal, so I don't use them
- They don't offer enough control, and can be severe.
- I prefer bitless, though some hackamores are too severe
- I only like bitless and bits are abusive
- Bitless is fine, though it doesn't suit all horses
Your horse starts pinning their ears during grooming and cinching/girthing up. Your reaction?
- If the symptoms persist, call the vet or saddle fitter
- Do the girth up slower, make sure it's not pinching
- Both of the above (1&2)
- Tell them off, smack their neck if they bite.
- Film, it's cute and funny. Maybe tighten the crossties.
At what age do you think a horse can start being ridden?
- 2-3yrs old, when they're young and won't fight much.
- Horses can be backed when they're at least 4-5yrs old so their spine isn't damaged.
- The horse can be lightly ridden at 3, turned out for a bit, then brought back into work as a 4yr old.
- It's best to wait until 5yrs+ to spare the horses back
- Usually 3, but racehorses get broken in at 2.
What is your opinion on horse racing?
- I don't like it. The horses are too young, stressed, stalled too much, and often abused.
- It's fine to race 3yr olds but no younger
- I love watching racing!
- It's so abusive and should be banned!
What is your opinion on bits?
- Use whatever your horse goes well in, whether its a snaffle or gag bit.
- I think snaffles & curbs are ok, but gags have conflicting actions
- I think snaffles and bitless bridles should suffice, if the horse is trained well enough
- I hate all bits!!
- I don't know much about bits
