I have used the principles with untouched sports horses over the years when trying to gain their

Thanks so much for your reply! I am hoping I will build a bit more of a connection with my horse by trying it. It can't do any harm to try can it? I have never tried but watched others do it, have watched loads of videos on it so I'm aware of all the signs you have to look for.

This lady Caroline was trained by Monty Roberts and she is from and is often in Ireland so she would be worth contacting if you want to learn more. I know that she has courses coming up soon in Kildare if thats any help
