Why so dismissive? I may have to give up on him yes. But he's already progressing. And he isn't all bad. He's the least spooky and flightly horse I've dealt with in a long time and that's so refreshing. Although I accept there's things in his life I can't control, namely what I suspect is him...
How can I get my horse to be more respectful of me? He's a big boy and he knows it - nearly 18hh Shire x ID. I've started looking after him a few days a week for a friend.
He takes the piss sometimes! When leading to and from the paddock, he frequently stops and requires rocking off his feet...
