We've had amazing success with our colt using this method. We are also implementing it with our rescues and it's gone well.
TRT Method
We've participated in a lot of different training techniques over the last few years and none of them really empowered us like the TRT Method. It can be pricey but my daughters have had success in their journey of working with a couple of our rescues. Totally worth the money!
TRT Complete Groundwork Kit
Amazing tool for those of us who tend to gather or hands too close to the withers or who bend at the wrists.

Handcraft Blends Organic Fractionated Coconut Oil 28oz
Weather-permitting, we prefer for our horses to spend as much time in turn out as possible. However, since the oven (sun) decided to vomit its heat all over the desert this year, we opted to install these shades around the perimeter of our stall row. Keeps the horses more shaded and doesn't stop the cross wind from cooling our horses down. We can easily take them down when the weather decides to bless us with cooler temperatures.
