Hello everyone

Can anyone recommend my friend a really good behaviourist to help with a problem horse?
I dont think Parelli is going to help, so would rather not go down this route and two people from a natural horsemanship type establishment (won't say any names) have refused to come out.

I think a really good horseman/woman would be able to help, but finding one is a nightmare! The horse is difficult and aggressive and my friend has gone as far as he can. I don't think it is the worst horse in the world, but the horse is very difficult.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

*Sorry should of said he is in Hants*
 
Lynn Chapman has a good reputation. Think Equus I think is her webbie. She is Hants based.

Failing that I have used Richard Maxwell and would recommend him every time.
 
I really really recommend Richard Maxwell .
He came out to me to do some first ridden work with my youngster and he was great . He is so calm and really intuative and better still he wants to help you to be able to do things yourself.
A session with him is worth every penny.
He is excellent both on the ground and with ridden work .
He does visit Hampshire on a regular basis You can get contact detailson his web site.
He gets my vote every time.
He is the best trainer I have ever seen in action.
 
Are you looking for a temporary livery arrangement or for someone to come out to you on a regular basis?
 
Thanks guys,

Yeah, not sure Lynn Chapman is a possibility

So Richard Maxwell comes out himself? I didn't know that thought it was like the IH associate thing. Will look into that! Heard good things about him, Thanks

No I don't think he wants him to move to somewhere else as with new people he will become an evil little devil!

I think someone to come out fairly often would work best.
 
I think it is ONLY Richard Maxwell you get .He is a solo artist so to speak not like the IH people who are associates of IH .
If you contact the web site they can let you know when .'Max' (as he is known) is in Hampshire again .
I found he wasn't smoke and mirrors 'horse whisperer style ' but a really experienced horse trainer who aimed to get the horse going as well as he could but also help you to be able to do it for yourself.
I like the fact that he handled and rode the horse himself so could experience everything first hand.
If I remember correctly he is in Hampshire about every 6/8 weeks so you could arrange repeat sessions.
Good luck !!

Actually, that's often not true. We constantly get horses here for backing/schooling/re-training that come with VERY bad reputations. 9 times out of 10 (at least) they behave from day 1. I'd like to think it's just that we are such brilliant horse people that we work miracles without even trying

- but ...

My farrier says it's 'little fish/big pond' syndrome. Most come from small yards with one owner/handler. They arrive on a big yard with lots going on and aren't sure WHAT to make of it so adopt a 'wait and see' policy. And then forget to revert to type! I think there's something in this, but I also think it's a new routine, very experienced people who EXPECT them to behave - and they do!

Richard Maxwell is very well thought of - but to get him out regularly is going to cost your friend several arms and a leg (or two!)
