He lives out 24/7 xx

Just to add I try my hardest not to act nervous around him but it's so hard when he's stressed in his box because I have to be careful he doesn't hurt me. With riding him it's hard not to tense up when he's bucking me. Oh I wish he'd let me in!!

I feel awful now that's so sad to hear. I try to reassure him and offer him guidence I really do. I try and do everything right by him. I have got so attached to him he's such a sweetheart in the field with me and I know he's a big softie really he's just not happy!! His previous owner...

I've had all of this checked he is medically fine xx

I visited him about 6 times with in a month I observed how he was with his owner. He was very relaxed and a big softie. The bond he had with his owner was beautiful!! They said because of his age he'd only need light schooling to bring back into work. This is definitely not a pain issue...

I am in Shrewsbury xx

I'm only feeding him what's he's always had though his previous owner fed him the same. I was advised to keep his feed the same. He was on speedibeet but I swapped that for fast fibre instead? I haven't got the money to spend on sending him away for schooling but my instructor is going...

His previous owner never sedated him it was the rider who rode him at the race yard for 5 years because he was unable to hack out otherwise, apparently he couldn't be hacked out with other horses either because he would explode with excitement. These people are all experienced people too 😥

Oh and just to add he's also on a top spec calmer has been for about 1 month now xxx

Thank you everyone for your replies they really help!! 😊 I have changed his feeds and now feed him one scoop of Hi Fi Lite and Fast Fibre a day. He has had his back checked and his saddle and everything's ok. I use a running martingale with a breastplate on him to give me...

Can I just add as well that my instructor isn't able to ride at the moment as she's had an injury. The more experienced ladies on the yard are reluctant to ride him because of how he is. I haven't got the money to send him somewhere or get someone to ride him. I'm so stuck people 😥

Hi everyone looking for advice again please. Things aren't improving with my TB. It's so disheartening I think we've cracked it and them something else will happen. He's so stressed in his box despite only being in there for a short time when I'm grooming or tacking him up. When I try to groom...

Thank you that link was fab!! I will incorporate that into my training with him. Just to keep you all posted the saddle fitter came out and his saddle fits beautifully so that rules that's out. I had an hours lesson with him yesterday and he was much better!! I felt in control of him...

Aww that's lovely to hear so hopefully my boy will settle with me 😊 xx

Thank you I will give him as much time as he needs and take it nice and easy with him. I want to give him his forever home and to have a good relationship with him xx
