Hi everyone and thank you for looking. I'm wondering anyone can help me out.
I have a 14.2hh Arab x coloured mare who has come from a neglected background. She is amazing with me due to allot of hard work and persistence.
I had he broken in at our yard but I was not happy with the way they worked as the guy was very aggressive with her and bullied her into it and I'm my opinion has set her back. She has had an accident to her knee from escaping from the field and had 4 months off and last month she has been out perminantly to have some time to herself.
Basically the guy was aggressive with her, then sort of got nice with her but doesn't take any crap so is very abrupt in his handling techniques, he didn't do any long reining and would lunge her till she was tired before getting on her then would ride her round keeping her forward and all over the place she was never relaxed as she would spook and he would shout and move her forward and he legs were all over the place. She naturally holds her head perfectly due to the Arab inside of her and is very flowy and showy. He took 5 months o break her and she was still in a mouthing bit wen he was riding her and they wanted to give her back to me like that bearing in mind she hadn't even been out on roads on long rein so stills spooks at cars etc... And every time he goes near her she runs so they don't have the connection.
I want to start her education from scratch with the best of the best with spooky nervous horses as she needs it and I want her ready for me to carry on her education but safely. I would do it myself as she trusts me but Iv never broken a horse so I want it done professionally.
Can anyone recommend anyone and can they pick her up or will I need to find transport, she travels beautifully as she follows me anywhere so travel isn't a problem. I live in south Wales but am prepared to travel for right person to break her.
Kind regards Michelle
