horse almost killed me today. seriously, have just been discharged from hospital. this is the 3rd time now and he has done it with previous owners which is why he has had so many homes.
Tried a bit of parelli with him which seemed to settle him n he was an angel for that time.
but this week he has reverted to old ways and this time i was airlifted to hospital.
trouble is, when i contacted one of his first owners she said she was "surprised he was still around" that he had a "flip-switch" and "should have been shot". Now i am beginning to see her point.
I dont want to ever see him again atm, and when i do i certainly wont be wanting to ride.
So, can he ever change?? at the grand old age of 7 he has had 9 homes. he is a superbly talented horse but is so sharp and unpredicatable and there is no apparent reason, he just seems to flip to blind panic mode and nothing will switch him out of it. I love him to bits but right now i am contemplating selling or worse it would break my heart but today he almost broke me.
what do i do??
