Their first ride went beautifully 🥰

Oh, Brego… underneath all that fear, you really are such a sweet boy.

Brego is a six year old Mustang who was surrendered to a local rescue for suspected abuse and starvation before ending up with a first time horse owner. She truly just wanted to give him a good life.

The rescue required him to go to their recommended trainer for 60 days before coming home. While she was technically “allowed” to visit, it wasn’t until after the first 30 days, and even then, most messages asking to see him went unanswered. In those 60 days, she only saw him a handful of times.

The first ride, the trainer kept Brego on a lead line the entire time. The second ride, she was put on him without a lead. Brego shut down and refused to move. She was told to kick him harder and harder until he did. He ended up biting the stirrup, getting his mouth caught, panicking, and she fell off.

She only had one groundwork session with him… a session where Brego reared, charged her, knocked her over, and became so reactive the trainer had to chase him away with a whip.

And somehow this horse was considered “ready to go home.”
 
If a trainer limits visits, avoids communication, or keeps you disconnected from your horse, that is a massive red flag. 

When Brego came home, he was dangerous. Charging, striking, biting, rearing, and completely dysregulated. She reached back out to both the trainer and the rescue for help.

They ignored her.
So Brego came to us.

The first few weeks were rough. He broke chains that secured his stall, charged horses, destroyed panels, and lived in a constant state of stress. We suspected ulcers immediately and started addressing both the physical and mental side of things.

And now? Nearing the end of his 60 days with us, he is a completely different horse.

He can safely be turned out, he no longer charges or strikes, and his owner is now regularly coming out to work with him herself, rebuilding both his confidence and her own.

Please research your trainers.
Visit facilities.
Watch them work.
Ask questions.

And never hand your horse over to someone who refuses transparency.

Brego deserved better. Thankfully, he finally got it.

This horse first became a client of mine a little over five years ago. We were reunited after she went to a new owner, and I’ve continued working with her regularly ever since.

About a month and a half ago, she set back while tied and created quite a bit of tension and dysfunction through her poll and neck. I had been out to work on her a month after it happened and couldn’t get anywhere near her face or neck.

Two weeks later she is still very guarded but allowed me to work. Instead of forcing her through it, I slowed everything down, gave her frequent breaks, and allowed her to step away when she needed to. Over time, with gentle myofascial release and craniosacral work, she was finally able to soften and release for a good seven to eight minutes straight.

This is your reminder that bodywork is not always about deep pressure, digging elbows, or “fixing” a horse in one session. Sometimes the nervous system needs quiet, patience, and safety before the body is willing to let go.

Sometimes less really is more.

When a horse is in pain and still being asked to perform, the response is rarely subtle.

We see:
• drifting or crookedness
• resistance to contact or straightness
• bucking/crow hopping
• rearing
• rushing or running through pressure
• inconsistent or “unpredictable” behavior

These are not random training problems. They are observable behavioral responses to discomfort, restriction, or pain.

In humans, pain under pressure shows up as frustration, agitation, or avoidance. Horses are no different…. they just express it through movement.

Bucking and rearing, in particular, are often escalation responses when forward motion is uncomfortable or compromised.

Labeling this as purely a training issue without ruling out physical causes is irresponsible.

Training does not resolve pain, it teaches the horse to tolerate it…. and tolerance often comes at the cost of increased resistance or escalation.

Before increasing pressure, equipment, or correction, the more appropriate question is:

What is causing discomfort that is driving this behavior?

Because behavior is often just the language of an unresolved physical issue.
