Truly Blessed

I was lucky enough to be involved with horses growing up. Then moving to a different state, college, career, marriage and starting a family did not leave me with any time to spare. Many years later, I was able to become involved again when my husband purchased a beautiful tri-colored paint gelding for my birthday named Champ. 

Five weeks later I had a riding accident that left me grounded for over a year and not able to work with him. After getting my medical clearance, I began trying to do ground work with Champ but he developed laminitis in his front legs that required stall rest to heal.

6 months later when he was medically cleared for training, we started with ground work again but I became increasingly frustrated with his dominant behavior. I felt a connection with this horse but I wasn't communicating well with him.

Fortunately, I found Steven Freeman through a mutual acquaintance. After meeting with Steven, I had hope that I would finally have the relationship with this horse that I had been dreaming of for 3 long years.

I visited Champ as much as I was able to during his training. Steven showed me during each visit how to better communicate with him. With in the first week, Champ was relaxed, more attentive and trusting.
