Problem / Nervous Horse Training

Recently we have had a really superb potential show cob on training livery. His owner, Liz Falkingham, had bought him and quickly realised that he had no trust in people, and this lack of confidence was affecting his ridden work. Punch also had issues on the ground. It was difficult to pick up his back feet, this problem was remedied.
Punch stayed with us for 4 weeks, Liz remained involved in his training throughout his time with us. He has now gone home and the feedback is all very positive! Punch is a happier, more trusting horse, and is now a much nicer ride than previously before his stay with us.
