I have a Trakenher on full loan who is a bag of nerves, everything is scary and he loves to spin and run!! i've been dumped by him twice and very nearly a 3rd time...that is if hanging from his mane doesn't count as being dumped...i had A leg on the saddle he he :D ......Sooo i have been doing everything i can to 'bombproof' him!

Playing with bright blue and yellow stuff - we got canter over this in the end too!!!

He has done great and seems to be really improving! He'll always be spooky but if i can just take the edge off for us we'll be able to do a lot more together :D I am desperate to take him cross country but i know he'll prob kill me so this is our challange...one day ;)

Any suggestions that will help us very very welcome!!! We need all the help we can get! :p
 
Yay! Bombproofing is so fun :D
Looks like you had a great time and well done! Looks like he's doing well :)

It was fun and has helped him loads... you do lots with your ned too don't you? Any suggestions for my big pansy :p i saw your flags post once, need to do that one day :D

I do :D I really like it!
Perhaps, like you said, the flags and like JFTD does some inflatables. Umbrellas are good too! I figured I should use umbrellas after Ned bolted after being chased by one on a skateboard!! Thankfully he didn't go far, but it scared both of us. That one's also practical, as in wet weather, there's always lots about.
Plastic bags too :) I once had a plastic bag attack poor Archie, it wrapped around his face :O Thankfully he was bombproof anyway, but I thought if that happened to Ned, there would be trouble.
You must post more pics and videos where you do more :D
 
what a beauty and well done on the bombproofing. I always find bikes lieing on there sides, prams/strollers and road signs are a good one to play about with! :)
