This older ex race horse dramatically calmed down mentally, and physically changed shape with Anna's rehabilitation plan over a three week period.
This six year old mule, who Anna backed, arrived in for training extremely anxious about anybody standing up high on a mounting block for example. She would take flight if anything spooked her. Her owner wasn’t even sure that riding her was at all possible. By the end of her three months in for training solely being handled and ridden by Anna she was fun to hack out.
Langaller Farm a professional stud delivered these two year old sports horse fillies to Anna’s Yard for 14 days of training. The stud manager said “I’m sorry to say these are two of the most aggressive youngsters I’ve ever bred, they’ll bite and kick and haven’t even been halter broken yet. I’ve turned down a buyer for one because the filly is too dangerous to sell to a private buyer. Be careful but I need them safe to sell on”. After two weeks they went home loading into the lorry, wearing rugs, tying up, coming over to be caught, having their feet trimmed and generally enjoying human company.
