Isolation just may help. i like to take a horse like that completely away from his buddies. A barn with a big arena, so they can run around and burn off some energy before going to work, but no play time unless I'm right there to let him know it's my treat. Yikes! So what did you do?!kestrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253025366100154732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-60886397124906369002013-04-12T16:44:59.508-06:002013-04-12T16:44:59.508-06:00EEK.

The horse feeds on your nerves and eventually they give you what you were waiting for all along... You never relaxed and they sensed fear.<br /><br />Change it up.<br /><br />Horses like that need a friend and you are it! Find some way of making it fun for them again. They need something to be happy about. That is what breaks through their self imposed barriers and mind blocks. Talk to them in a silly voice. Let them know things are ok. Give them a nickname with enthusiasm. Maybe pony him out saddled, but without a rider. Let him be with you and around you on another horse- relaxed and enjoying the ride, so he can get the idea of how it is supposed to be. <br /><br />You'd be surprised how quick they can turn around. I always used to get the horses with not only a few loose screws, but several missing to boot. <br /><br />Just be careful. One horse is not worth risking too much over.

Hope you have some professional help to correct the issues the other trainer left you. Sounds to me like he taught the horse how to intimidate his rider. Some horses don't need a lot of coaxing where that is concerned.<br /><br />Good luck.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834640625999522559noreply@blogger.com
