I'm just going to throw this out here now because I usually I get pretty flooded in the spring with people wanting to get horses in my program. I'm only going to be taking one maybe two horses in at a time for training next summer beginning in May and going through September. If you want a spot let me know and I will get you on the calendar.

Apache went home yesterday. I will sure miss working with him. I have complete confidence that he will be an amazing horse again for his owner! He was very happy to get home with his buddy and run around the pasture :) boot camp is exhausting!

making good progress backing out. still afraid but willing to try!

yesterday was a month and he finally allowed me to brush out his gorgeous mane (on his terrified side) This boy has come so far! I'm excited to see how he does with his owner when he gets picked up in a few days.
with continuous groundwork and time, I think he will make a complete turnaround from his trauma. What a friend and I believe may have happened to him, probably pretty recently, he was in a trailer and when he was backing out he got the rope over his ear and got hung up. We think this because for one, he does not like his ears touched at all, two, he's afraid of having the rope put anywhere near his right ear and three, when backing out of the trailer he was white eyed, trembling, terrified. So maybe this or something similar may have happened just before he went to auction or at the auction. This may have caused his prior owner to try to "get him over it" quickly by using force, which made it worse and now that's why he thinks people are going to hurt him. But we will really never know. I'm happy he has made huge progress in just 30 days. I'm confident he will get over it!

Still making good progress with this guy but unfortunately if I let him sit for the weekend, it's like almost starting over on monday. But he comes around much quicker than he did in the past so that's always good. Has not pulled away from me and tried to run away from me for at least 2 weeks so I think we're over that. The most he does is if he gets startled when I'm haltering him he'll move away five steps and then turn and face me

creating boundaries while promoting curiosity.

In this video ryan works with a horse who is very reactive, spooky, bolts and pulls aways when introduced to new things like fly spray.Get your 2025 Horseman...

I've never been sold on the effects of calming supplements. I've used many of types including raspberry leaves, quietex, cbd, all of the natural calming remedies you could possibly think of. some horses I noticed a small difference but most none. As you guys know Apache has been here for about a month and he's still so standoffish/afraid that he would not even come down to his stall to eat if we were around. so a few days ago instead of me leaving and letting him come down, which was, in effect, rewarding his hesitancy (we leave then he comes to eat) I decided to just sit in his stall and wait for him to come down to eat. the first night, I was joking with Mark about who's more stubborn because it took about an hour and a half. I won! I take that back we actually compromised and eventually I moved his bucket of grain out to where he could see it and then he came down to eat as long as I stood over at the far end of the stall by the gate LOL. last night it took about 45 minutes and this morning it was zero minutes. I started him on the calming supplements yesterday morning. Also in the month he's been with me I've not seen him yawn once and within 15 minutes of giving him his first dose he was yawning and relaxing his jaw repeatedly. I've never seen such a big change in such a little time but I'm very happy I gave it a shot. Best $15 I ever spent!
