She is nine but lost a good 2 years out of her training when i broke my leg, i sent to various trainers who stuck draw reins on her and hoiked her up..... spent the last few years undoing it all, teaching delicia not to passage and starting again. Who wants a who who can piaffe but not trot in a straight line...... so i train her myself. I have an instructor to help me but i train delicia.
This past year she has started to grow into her power, she has grown more (now standing 17hh) and is building muscle well. But with the power she has i need to keep her confidence up and that unfortunately takes time and knowning when to push her and when to back off. I love my mare but she is far from an easy ride
Sounds like you've had a difficult few years but at least things are on the right track now! Sometimes we think sending horses away for training is the best thing for them but often they need to be taken slowly and sensitively by someone who knows them well aka mum!
Well done!!

@Pasha - thanking you!
@DoctorDoolittle - yes sometimes what you think you are doing for the best isnt the best, but in her healing time, delicia had to be very calm and allow me, (whilst on crutches) tend to her legs...she wouldnt really allow anyone else to. So hours spent down the yard, massaging the special oils, ointments and lotions into her legs, created a bond that i might not otherwise have had. This bond means me and Delciia just 'click' and consequently, she doesnt really like anyone else on her back.
