“Man, Brownie is gonna be a cool horse for someone. In a short time, Brownie has been making strides from an anxious and pushy horse to a more confident and balanced horse. He’s learning how to get his feet under him and understand what people are asking of him.
It took a bit to even get him to trust me to walk him to the barn without panic. He’s still a bit spooky but has started recovering quickly from anything that may bother him.
The first Joel Conner clinic was a great success as we were able to get him saddled for the first time (at least with us) and into a big class for the first time. Brownie has been very reactive to other horses and people and this clinic was a great way to both expose and help him through that trouble. The first day was very difficult, I was having to constantly work him to keep his attention with me and 4 feet on the ground. But by the last day, we were able to stand quiet during instruction and teaching moments and find peace in all the groundwork we’ve been working through the last few weeks.
I’m excited to see how he progresses and hopefully we’ll get first rides on him soon.”
