Older Cob, New Job! - Saffy

This is Saffy, a lady of a 'certain age' (OK, she's rising 15yrs but don't tell her I told you!) who came to us after her owner was no longer able to ride her due to medical issues. With it not being uncommon for horses to come to us for a change of career for just this reason - or others, such as being a much-loved, outgrown children's pony - Saffy is by no means the oldest horse Barry has ever trained (that would be an ex point-to-point gelding who was 17y/o when he began training because of arthritis in his 70y/o owner's hands) but she is older than our 'usual' students and as this brings a different set of challenges to her training, we thought we'd tell you about them. Saffy suffered a little from 'middle aged spread', so we worked her a lot in a team, to take the initial strain off her, help her lose weight and improve her fitness to a point she was comfortable going single without getting 'puffed out' too soon! It also meant she gained experience in almost every combination of horses you can put in front of a carriage! As you can see from this video, after a few 'disagreements' over things being very new to her and not her usual job of happy hacking, she took to driving very well indeed and is now home with great reports of her and her owner getting out and about in their local area together once more, though plus carriage and owner's daughter as a groom now, too! --- Don't forget you can find us on: Facebook:   / 146457242073727   Instagram: @horse_drawn_pro Online: www.horsedrawnpromotions.com
