Back in December I posted about my first hack with Bob, which didn't go exactly to plan. However, I took on board all the advice from you guys and the past few months we've gone back to basics relearning manners and doing a lot of groundwork. Things got a bit worse before they got better, especially when he discovered he was strong enough to knock the paddock fencing down but we've got electric in now and he's very respectful of that.
And finally all the work has really paid off I had such a great time this weekend with Bob he's more chilled out and I'm more confident it really feels like we're building a lovely relationship. So thank you and I'm sure I'll be picking everyones brains again in the future :)

Smallholder in the city, great to hear you're turning things around. There is nothing better than the relationship you can have with your horses. Good Luck with the rest of your progress :wave:
