A long time ago out of sheer desperation i posted about my TB gelding who to be honest scared the living daylights out of me, He thought he was a stallion and was getting really too much.
Lots of people replied and i promised to let them know how things went...well i kept him, really because i was sure if i was even able to sell/rehome him he would either injure someone or be passed from pillar to post or beaten up.
He for some reason is now a lovely horse- he still has his moments but in general i trust him and can have quite nice enjoyable hacks.
I really felt we reached a land mark recently when i hacked him out with my daughter on her pony which was unthinkable previously even in walk but we went on a long hack and had 2 really nice "in control canters with brakes off road (yes as apposed to no brakes cantering on the road!)
He finally feels like MY horse as i no longer have to wait for another livery to be going for a quiet walk to be able to ride.
Thanks so much to all you guys who advised and helped me out back then, sorry i cant remember your names individually but much appreciated!! xx
