Needless to say he isn’t staying 🥴
**absolutely no fault to owner
This is strictly an educational post, no bashing, no harm
That being said -
Do your research when purchasing a horse. Ask ALL the questions, figure out if you can live with the answers you may or may not like to hear. When sending a new unknown horse to the trailer, give ALL the Correct information.
Durfee Horse and Cattle explained “sleepers” so well in their post a few months ago, and I think it deserves a read.
This gelding is aged and had a substantial amount of time off and he did not take to being pushed back into work well.
My program trains c**ts and horses. I am Only 115 # sopping wet, a big horse that is already flighty and watchy and with the information I found out after the fact, this horse needs a large strong hand.
I know when to cut my losses and recommend a different person to take over.
This owner was absolutely kind and understanding with the open and clear communication that happened in the last couple days, and I am grateful for good client-trainer relationships.
NOT FOR SALE, PROBABLY NOT YOUR HORSE 😉
