Saw Silver again today for another session. As she is a very sensitive mare who can struggle with trust and confidence, I decided to focus on groundwork and take her for a calm bonding walk around the yard. This allowed me to better understand her triggers, build her confidence, and continue developing a positive relationship with her.
She was very tense at the beginning of the session, but by the end she had completely relaxed and was happily walking alongside me like a big dog. Horses that have had a difficult start in life, especially sensitive ones, often need extra patience, consistency, and understanding to learn to trust again.
I’m so pleased with the progress Silver is already beginning to make, and I truly believe that with time and steady sessions she will continue to grow in confidence. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s desensitising session 🤍 ps don’t think she was happy with me waking her up after she just laid down for a nap 😂🙈
