Wears headscarf aggressively
I'll take another look. I did try with another horse but she struggled to translate it into ridden work. Our school has hedge of doom on all 4 sides, only gap is for the gate, there's no safe space ? there's also a green lane behind one side used by everything from walkers to scrambler bikes, invisible monsters! if I'd known it was that bad I'd never have gone there ?My mare is this way inclined and I've battled with the 'spooky hedge side' and 'corner of death' for ages. But I have to say, I started doing the TRT groundwork with her with a specific focus on getting her to learn to relax near her areas of doom and it is now like schooling a different horse. She will still have a look and I need to come back to the fundamentals a couple of times in most sessions, but it has made such a difference to my rate of progress with her. And it only took 3 sessions of set up and 5 mins at the start of each schooling session.
