Dramatic Results With Our Rescue
I began using Perfect Prep Training day a couple of years ago on my Quarter Horse when we went to shows. I found it 'took the edge' off of him and made it so he was more focused and required less lunging. Now I help run Diamonds in the Rough Equine Rescue and we have all types of horses and behaviors come through. I thought that maybe if we put some of our high stressed, high issues horses on Training Day it might help them settle. We have dramatic results and find once the horses come in, we can get them settled and focused with Training Day and then can proceed with re-training. We have found that this has helped out adoption rate greatly and has helped move horses to new homes quicker. We had one problem horse that went through 3 homes. We figured we would never find anyone that could 'fix' him so we put him on Training Day. After a month we had him responding and trusting us. He has now been at a new home for 4 months is doing great and being ridden and no longer needs the Training Day. I just think once you can get a horse to settle and realize it’s going to be ok then you can re-train them to trust again.
