Renny's Brave Winter Blues Trainer!


In mid-November, I had a fall off Renny and he discovered that he could look for trouble.  I trained him for that by walking behind the kick wall and getting him concerned about what might be behind the walls.  Not my smartest move.  But Betsy gave me good advice to bring this young lady, Larissa, into Renny's life.  And she's been patient kind funny sweet and talented with him.  She's give him confidence when he's discouraged, bravery when he's scared, comfort when he's crabby, and talent, talent, talent.  She's gone from having to sit tight as he shys and spins at gates to being able to canter him over boxes, flowers, and stone and brick walls.  I'm just awestruck by their hard work!
