➡️TRAINERS… if you don’t like a horse… SEND IT HOME.

It doesn’t matter why. Whatever the reason…. You’re likely not going to overcome it. It could be a personality clash, not talented enough, not sound enough, or… you just don’t like it. Do everyone a favor. Send it home!!

I have been on the other end of this and gotten horses that stayed too long that have long term issues from someone trying to MAKE IT work. In term… everyone hated their job, and if it could even be fixed… costed thousands.

➡️OWNERS: If your trainer makes this call… LISTEN!!!
You can try another trainer if you’d like, or if it’s just not what you think it’s going to be, move it along.

➡️Scenario: I call the client and say… “hey, this is not going to make a Futurity horse. (original goal)

Now you have several options, we talk about long term goals and if you want to invest the thousands to have an average horse… some do. That’s no problem, we just need everyone on the same page. We make the call to continue on just to have a solid horse, usually for their kids or something, or cut losses and try to find the next super star.

➡️Scenario: Horse is not accomplishing goals with trainer. First, need to diagnose. Is the horse getting proper vetwork? OWNER THIS FALLS ON YOU. I sometimes find MANY training issues can be headed off with a good performance vet. EPM meds. Lasix. Ulcer meds. Hock injections. Simple things. If you’re not willing to put in the money… don’t expect the finished product to be to your liking.

Also, sometimes the horse just isn’t good enough… and that’s fine because there is a person for EVERY horse out there, at every level. You need to be able to talk realistically about said horse. Don’t just think fluffy is going to be a superstar because he’s sweet and can run fast in a straight line. 🐎

There are a million reasons it can not be a good fit. If EITHER party wants out… get out. At the end of the day, riding horses does not make much money… we do this for the prospect of that we can win or make on commission… it’s too much time invested to not see a return. A trainer is not riding your horse to lose money.
