Almost in tears of happiness!
I almost gave up on my horse my last resort turned out the best decision I have taken.
I am sitting here on the verge of tears (good tears) I gave up hacking alone on my extremely spicy 4 year old 2 months ago!!! A mixture of her huge spooks, spins and multiple rears during the entire hack I couldn't risk it due to the increase of traffic in my local area... I have no off-road hacking. I had almost given up hope. One of the lovely ladies from Hack Up Bespoke and listened to everything, went away and researched all the ingredients of the supplements she was on and made me my own mixture of calm digest + her additional needs. I had her on the loading dose for 3 weeks when she rang me back to ask how everything had been going and I was honest and said actually there has been no different and I agreed to try the liquid calm to top up a lower dose of powder. Again, I was sceptical however this week ! I have sat on my freshly clipped 4 year old who hasn't been ridden in two weeks, she has been level-headed, polite and genuinely a pleasure. Today I am sat here just desperate to let you guys know how appreciated you are, as I have just been for a lovely first hack in 2 months ! I have videod it for you and I can tell you in the space of this video normal we would have 4 naps, 7ish rears and a spin. As you can see it still lets her be the bouncy fresh and quirky baby I love but taken that element of DEATH out of the equation, it's allowed her to focus and not over react to everything. I am beyond happy, it means the world to me this horse is my absolute life and soul
