Have been a barn manager, Head groom, manager for decades and showed at a National level when I was a kid. Advanced clipping/grooming. Manes/tails/feather care. All kinds of Wraps, blankets, driving with trailer, breeding natural or shipped semen, foaling, starting babies, very advanced medical care especially feet, in depth nutrition, braiding, tack care, red light/aquatic/ sonar etc therapies… and massage. Experience handling from the mellow Icelandics and Gypsys, to Hanovarians, Warmbloods, and Thoroughbreds… naughty or not… you learn to deal with it I will not work somewhere shanks, twitches, spurs and whips are not the LAST RESORT… I believe animals only have humans to rely on and they shouldn’t ever have to hope their caretakers are not having a “bad day” or “are in a hurry” so they get what they need.
