Any suggestions? Mare just came home from full training board but has been off for 30+ days due to a popped splint. Ready to go back to work however she is big, strong, and has an attitude/respect problem and frankly I don't want to be the first one on her back after her time off. Looking for someone in/near/around the Fredericksburg area who would be willing to travel to my barn 2-3 times a week.

Entourage, this may be a bit of a stretch but I met this guy (John Sanford) several years ago while searching for hay; his website doesn't seem to be working though. I remember his name (don't ask me how) and googled it. He has had ads in the VA Horse Journal. Maybe someone else here will know more about him.

The folks at Rocking T Ranch are here for the horse to help him get a better deal. They educate the human on how to create a willing partnership with the horse through training and clinics. It's how horsemanship should be. Have saddle will travel!

I have met John and I do know he has relocated to Charlottesville and is still training. I like his training methods however I don't think they'd work well for this particular mare. I think I have found someone who will work out that's local for me and if not I'll scout around a bit more!

Entourage: I have had Charles Pelham come to my farm on 3 occasions to do ground work and trailer loading for my yearlings and he's done a great job. He is in Rixeyville so it may be a bit far, but he does do farm calls or you can send horses to him for training. He has a website: www.cornerstonehorsemanship.com
