Information:
Rory was given to Lindsey on December 17, 2017 for the ‘Rearing Rory Case Study.’ Rory had been competing and training for combined tests and had developed a rearing problem.
It was unclear to the owner’s what the issue was and they made the tough decision to give her to Lindsey to see if she could be helped.
Lindsey started right away with the vet, farrier, massage therapist, equine dentist, and chiropractor to bring Rory into optimal health to make sure she could physically handle being ridden. Then it’s time for the training.
Continuing into 2018 Lindsey is working with Zera and she is already a different horse. Her ground manners are significantly better and rearing while handling on the ground seems to be a thing of the past (March 2018).
Lindsey is focusing on her other horses so there hasn’t been a ton of time put into Zera just yet, but so far with 2 rides things are progressing.
