My 4year old 17.1 KWPN is currently turned away for winter after having treatment on some physical issues that arose shortly after backing (kissing spine/hock & stifle effusion/pain and bilateral hind psd).
He will be ready to bring back into work in the new year and im considering utilising the services of a pro/semi-pro, perhaps event rider.
My issue is i have very clear ideas on the approach that i would like taken (no gadgets/ no taped shut mouth, turn out etc). I want it done slowly and sympathetically because he's my baby and im a softie!
Would love to hear anybodies recommendations for pro's that they know take a kind approach rather than the 'stick em in draw reins' and ignore what the horse is telling you approach which i see alot of and isnt my thing. (No im not a NH hippie either )
Based north london/south east
