    Putting a healthy horse down

    I agree with you i think its a very selfish decision and she is denying the horse the entitlement to live a happy and prosperous life. Yes its her horse and her decision but its a very selfish one, she could end up in a lovely home . Cant she consider a rescue centre!?! Poor horse 😖😖

    Id rub something really tasty on the bit , encourage him to lower his head and open his mouth, consistently do this and he will soon learn, but i agree with the long reigning , sounds like he has some issues, not with you but in general its all about routine and consistency
