Hi PS Collective! What are your thoughts on developing a partnership with a new horse? My handsome Percheron X is with a trainer now and coming back to my stable in a few weeks. What do you recommend for integration and for trust building? Thank you! 🖤

@PaminaL oh and make sure to give him the freedom to express himself! If you get annoyed for him being scared it will make him so much less confident in himself and you

I did a lot of desensitizing with my two horses and they follow me around like two puppies now! It has a lot to do with patience but it works out great! Just take a random scary object and approach him slowly. Don't worry, if he runs away that is totally normal!! Just go to him without the object and gain some trust and then slowly take the object back to him. This may take a few tries but that's fine!
