🗣️“Why haven’t you got on yet” “when you getting on it’s been 4 months”
A question about captain I regularly get asked.
When captain arrived from Ireland skin and bones and so much fear behind his eyes, i decided I was going to completely re-back him. Some may believe this wasn’t needed, that he would’ve been fine if I got on as soon as turned up. But it wasn’t just his riding I wanted to start from the beginning, I wanted to start his life experiences from the beginning.
Before I ask this horse to put full trust in me and let me on his back; I want to show him that the world and the new life he’s in isn’t a scary place.
I wanted to change all his experiences, make every experience new and positive. That having full tack on doesn’t mean I’m going to get on you and whip you leaving marks, but actually could just mean going for a hand graze together in tack.
