Remy Moving Out and Moving On



If you've been following this blog, you will notice the difference in this horse. His story is one that I see all to often. He's 5 years or older, never ridden, and was basically labled unfit for rider. He did show signs of mistreatment and was unsure of himself and those around him. He was very "bronc like" and would do well in a rodeo. After instructing his new owners on handling him and their dedication to his cause, I agreed to take him to further his training. After about 2 weeks of training he had a "blow-up" when his environment changed. He injured his leg and during his recovery I continued training. We kept the physical part light which provided the therapy he needed, and the mental part of his training was consentrated on. Each day we saw improvement and one day I saw him "cross over". His expression is peaceful and trusting and he seems to enjoy doing a job well. With time and patience, I believe that most all horses can reach their full potential. The question is "Can we?"
