Fight or Flight ... I truly believe horses are not malicious, they do not have the ability to conspire against you ,some more clever than others yes 😅.. I met a new client today, really super little horse they have done the normal checks of back teeth new saddle etc but are still having behavioural issues and wanted another set of eyes .. trained to race but never did .. lovely young rider but so nervous and once we got going it was clear to see why, she's a bolter.
Now I've seen people deal with these sorts by kicking them faster l, tying their heads down, beating them and that's not how I work .. so we took a step back dismounted and worked from the ground and she was ever so polite and willing albeit tight in her neck and hollow but never once did she run.
I love owners that take on board advice, straight away we have a plan inplace to rule out ulcers and kissing spine will we open a can of worms ...maybe ... but there's always a reason
This little horse will be super 👌
So not naughty she was asking for help ... and we have listened 🧡
Picture of my own horse that has kissing spine , no medication, kept strong through her back by correct schooling and regular body work 💪
