My new horse arrives next week, am very excited but not sure how best to help him settle to a new home and new owner?
Hes a 7 year old TB. What Im concerned about is napping as hes going to have an overload of emotions to deal with. Should I just spend a few weeks grooming him and being around him then introduce some leading out in hand to get him used to the area? Im concerned that if I get on him the next day hell plant himself (and wondering who the hell I am)!
Should I build trust and confidence between us first?
Thanks for any advice
