Some people may think that our most difficult training cases are horses which come to us almost completely unhandled. In actuality, the opposite is often much truer! Retraining horses who have already had some training which has caused issues for them is a much greater, lengthy and more complicated task than starting a horse from scratch.
This is Zac, whose owner bought him from abroad as, apparently, already broken to harness. Unfortunately, when she got him home and put him to for the first time, it was clear he was very fearful and unwilling to do his job. Not wanting to risk upsetting him further or damaging his future career prospects, she sent him to us for re-breaking and confidence building.
Watch how far Zac has come, from trembling whilst wearing harness, to trotting down the road happily, tackling all sorts of obstacles he wouldn't dare have challenged before training. And, when he does find something unsettling, he has begun to use his own confidence to move past it and recover quickly, rather than rely entirely on his driver.
