I’m a trainer that’s always going to be straight with you always, the good, the bad & everything in between ! I’ve had this boy going on 3 weeks, first two weeks were basically desensitising & mouthing, unfortunately this week we’ve had ridiculous amounts of rain however we still battled through.
This little man has been through so much with prior “Horse Breaker / Dealer” I unfortunately didn’t get his first saddling on video due to being home alone but “quiet” like he was advertised is definitely NOT it however we’ve pushed through some tough walls.
Unfortunately if people met him and seen some of the ways he reacts they’d claim him dangerous and nasty which hes not. He is scared & protective of himself and I don’t blame him. This video shows his first ride under saddle, although he’s great in the lunge & mouthing gear he’s very stuck in his feet under saddle.
Quiet movements and clear instructions is best but sometimes they still don’t understand. Encouraging them to take 1 small step is rewarded with a big praise. We’re re very proud of this boy however he still has a fair way to go 💜💜
We hope everyone is safe and enjoying the wet weather! I know these 2 are 😂☺️ We would also like to send our love and prayers to the people that are currently being affected by the hurricane overseas!! Give you pets a kiss and extra cuddle tonight for everyone
