This is why I do what I do! My heart is so full!
Music is a very special horse and his owner Shari shared a special bond with him for several years. Unfortunately he had passed through multiple hands and when she had the opportunity to purchase him she did so excitedly. However, upon receiving Music into her care he was no longer the same horse. He exhibited signs of trauma and fear that would cause him to turn away from people in his stall, face the corner, and tremble uncontrollably when they approached. Despite all of this, he was never aggressive.
I worked with Music for 60 days to re-establish his trust in humanity. My focus was on relaxation, trust and giving him an environment that supported those things; as well such as a hygienic area, natural surroundings and exercise as well as companionship from other horses.
My first time mounting Music during the first week I was under the impression that he was more rideable than he actually was. I mounted him not, as a first-time Mount, but as an experienced horse and he panicked,bolted and bronced all the way down the arena until the stirrup snapped and I bailed off in the corner which may or may not have resulted in a fractured clavicle LOL it's still sore to this day LOL. I remounted him the same day with more caution, as if the first time ride and ever since then my focus with him had been on relaxation and trust. He was never met with aggression or reprimanded. When he was too fearful to complete a task or made a"mistake", he was only met with compassion, then we would back up several steps and work there for a while. I routinely told him, " I'm never going to hurt you". Eventually, he started to believe me.

Over the 60 days we bonded considerably and Music began to trust and be able to enjoy interacting with people.
He became my daughter's favorite horse in training with her eventually able to ride him on a lead as well( she is 7).
We are going to miss him and wish he and Shari many years of happiness together!
