We all have taken a spill at one time or another, and speaking from experience, it really does have to be worked at to regain trust and confidence, so don't be too hard on yourself.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-689872777639220238.post-67005341877731640242011-06-08T10:52:57.738-05:002011-06-08T10:52:57.738-05:00Good post title...it is work, physical and mental....Good post title...it is work, physical and mental.

Patty is a conscientious trainer and you are lucky to have her, but remember, this is about you and Koda. When you sent the boys away, you might have got your relationship out of balance. That happens sometimes when a horse is sent to be trained because your horse is working on new things and at a different pace than he was with you.

Don't be hard on yourself or him - recovering from things like this takes time, and if he feels that you don't have confidence in him, his own confidence will not be there and that's where you'll get the undesirable behaviors, I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
