I love that song you have playing with your video. My dad and I used to always watch The Man from Snowy River. In fact we had horses as kids and used to show. I learned how to play that song on the piano as well when I was a kid because I loved it so much. The video was beautiful to watch.

@asossei I too loved The Man From Snowy River as a kid! I'll still put the movie on from time to time - although it seems so much cornier these days LOL! Still love it though ;-) And just like you, I also learned to play both Jessica's Theme and the main theme on the piano!! Thank you for the comment :-)

This is fantastic. I got my girl off the track too, but she was left in a paddock and came to me in extremely poor condition too.

We are working at it and she still has her Race Horse head moments (Which i'm sure you remember) but it is lovely to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel!!

@TheTalinaChristensen Thanks for the comment. Haha yes, I remember those racehorse head moments! Best of luck with your girl!

I have just bought a race horse too, bred by Diktat and Upping the Tempo. LIke you I have a lot of work to do, but this is showing me it can be done!!

@julesvtr - Thank you! All the best with your new TB - I'm sure you'll have many highs and lows, and as much fun as I have. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing their improvement :-)

i have just recently got an ex racehorse on loan with a friend.. he is only a baby (3 1/2 yrs old) but already he seems like a 13 yr old. he does have 'race horse head' as we have only just started work but he is the kindest most loving horse ever. could i just ask, how long did it take you to school your horse fully? thanks xx

I love this!! It is so amazing how much you have transformed your horse. Your horse went from depressed and underweight to full of life and a good size. You are an inspiration to the horse world xxxx

Wow this video almost made me cry. you made such an impact on that horse's life and he/she will thank you for a life time and many more!!!

Wow you got him going beautifully! What a gorgeous horse. How did you teach him to relax and round up so well? I'm inspired by the work with you did with this horse.
