6th January, 2015 Combined Training

It's been quite a while since I heard from Laura about her dressage horse, Dove. I'd left her with a set of four panels to help to discourage Dove from leaping off the ramp when she is unloaded from the horsebox. With the help of plan A (encourage your horse to walk quietly down the ramp eating from a bucket) and plan B (panels set back a little but offering a fixed amount of space), Dove is now walking slowly off the ramp.

"I'm pleased with her and feeling enthused for the new year, I thank you for your help, patience and understanding ...you've been a brilliant help and sounding block and without you and your voice of reason God knows where we'd be!!!" LM
