Thanks everyone.

Had the farrier yesterday and recommended a natural horsemanship guy just up the road. He has some really good reviews so ive contacted him. He's going to visit next weekend to see if he can help.

Maybe I can do it myself with a some help from outside. I don't have facilities so we'll gave to see how it goes.

@nagblagger I can give you the guys details if you like.

Would definitely be interested if he is any good. Thank you.

The natural horsemanship trainer came out to Reggie today.

He used a rope halter, long rope and a stick with a bag on the end of it.

At first Reg was a bit like 'what on earth are you doing, I get treats in rustly bags' so NHT had to get quite firm with him.

It's an interesting way of doing things. You almost need to get in Reggies way in order to teach him to give you space. But by the end of the session both me and OH could lunge on both reins. Its a very differnet way of doing things and my coordination really needs work. We've got some homework to do with Reggie in the next few weeks. It's given OH some confidence which he hasn't had since he was hurt.

The NHT even had Reggie pop a little jump before he left. He's got quite a nice natural shape too! I think we'll have him back as we progress, especially if we get any sticky spots.

I'd recommend something similar for anyone struggling with bolshy youngsters.
