Monty Roberts only works on horses he knows he won't fail on.
We took a horse to one of his shows once and he would not touch her.
She had a serious fear of having her legs touched therefore not being able to be trimmed or shod.
All the other horses were plaited and groomed well obviously well handled.
He took one look at the mare and how bad she was and moved on to an easier project.
He went down in my estimation that very day.
You may be interested to know that the mare after much patient work at home can now be fully shod allround so anything is possible.
