So yesterday my aunt asked me something. She asked if I wanted have Poco! Although before I could respond she was interrupted by a phone call. We picked the conversation back up when we were on our way down to the barn and I said that I would take her. My aunt was really happy. She has been having a difficult time figuring out what to do with her. All the trainers have said that she is basically "dangerous and untrainable" which I feel like is a load of crap. In one way or another I believe almost any horse can be trained. I think the main problem is that the trainers don't want to adjust their "method" to certain horses. So when it wouldn't work for Poco they labeled her as "dangerous and untrainable." I have known Poco for as long as I've known Ava (almost half a decade!) and not once have I seen her display ANY signs of aggression, none! She is almost like a big puppy dog, sweetest horse I've ever met. It highly agitates me when people give up so easily even when it is their job...
Anyways! Sorry for that little rant didn't see that coming! I'm going to try different things with her it is what she needs; a customized method just for her and that is what I'm going to do. She can be stubborn at times but what horse isn't? Another great thing is that the financial situation isn't going to change which is wonderful because I am already broke as it is. I was mainly wanting another horse to work with too, so this is perfect timing. Ava, Poco, and I are going to be having an interesting journey but I can't wait to see what it holds for us.
Good for you! I wish you the best with Poco and look forward to reading about her training :)
