Hi ,

Can anyone recommend a skilled training yard who have the knowledge to help a sensitive but kind horse to be rebacked and ridden away. She had a ghastly experience at the previous yard who supposedly knew what they were doing, and has needed some time off.

Requirements: no brute force ,no strong bits or spurs , no fixed side reins, and sufficient skill to treat each horses mental and physical needs as required. I would prefer daily turnout and someone who has done hundreds of horses and has experience under their belts and knows how to ride a horse forward into the contact with light aids rather than shaping with the reins.

I don't suppose I will get many replies to this as it seems there aren't many out there who genuinely fit the bill but hope to be proved wrong. Based East Midlands but will travel further for the right yard.

Many thanks in advance.

Not used him personally, but have heard many good things from others and fits your criteria.

edited to add more info - he took on a friends horse who had been pronounced 'to sharp to be broken' and suceeded in producing a calm, happy youngster.

They are not so far from you, just off the A1 just north of the M62. Very good with sensitive horses. Very practical, do loads of long reining etc, have recommended them before for backing and re-backing when something has gone wrong historically for a horse and everyone has been happy.

It is a very private yard, fab facilities. Very professional, not the place to go chit chat, it is for proper schooling livery.
