His “Stableizer” Caught On Worldwide
 ✖  |
Since it was first covered in Farm Show (Vol. 23, No. 2), more than 100,000 horses around the world have learned to relax with Buck Wheeler’s Stableizer. Wheeler recently returned from Europe where he introduced his device to trainers in Ireland, Belgium and England, including Clive Brittain, horse trainer for Queen Elizabeth. It is even being used on camels in the United Arab Emirates.
“The Stableizer works on 3 acupressure points, 2 near the ears and one under the lip,” says Wheeler. “Slip it on an excitable horse, and in a few minutes the eyes soften and the bottom lip starts drooping down.”
The pressure points behind the ears release endorphins, natural narcotic-like substances that calm and relax the horse. Over stimulation of the pressure point beneath the upper lip blocks the release of adrenalin, further relaxing the horse.
Wheeler grew up on the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota and based the Stableizer on the Indian war bridle. In the 20 years since it was first introduced, it has been used on 2 Kentucky Derby winners, Belmont winners and racing quarter horses. A U.S. Army veteran, Wheeler is especially proud of the halter’s use with horses pulling caissons for funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. However, everyday horses are a big market for the Stableizer, including former racehorses being retrained for use on buggies and other equipment.
Wheeler developed the Stableizer to replace the use of the twitch, commonly used to subdue horses. “The Stablizer is set up so the horse can function while wearing it,” says Wheeler. “You can train with it on, which you can’t do with a twitch.”
Wheeler notes that horses with the Stableizer in place associate otherwise negative experiences, like hoof trimming and clipping, as pleasant and enjoyable. Even years later, he says, he can step into a pen with a horse he has introduced to the Stableizer, and they will come to him, thanks to the pleasure they associate with him.
Wheeler offers 5 sizes for everything from llamas and mini-horses to 2,000-lb. and larger draft horses. The Stableizer is priced at $64.95 regardless of size.
