Rolo is a 6yo Friesian x QH gelding
I needed to get clarity on my new horse, Rolo. I bought him 7 weeks prior to bringing him to BHP. Most of those weeks I had regret buying him and shed a lot of tears. I’m his 4 owner and Rolo is only 6 years old. In the first couple days of bringing him home, he displayed aggression: stepping, stomping, nipping, biting, kicking at me at meal time and in the round pen. There were many other more settle signs that I didn’t realize until my lessons with Mark. This is the first time in the 50 years of my horse experience that I’ve had such a challenging horse like Rolo. Our time at BHP was life changing and life saving. Rolo redeemed himself once he got the proper leadership and communication at his first lesson with Mark. At our second lesson the following day, he was a completely different horse. Kind, respectful, eager to go on the obstacles. He took to the trail course like nobody’s business. With each obstacle, the more confidence and trust we gained with each other. I had goosebumps the entire lesson. I’m forever grateful to Mark and Lee for providing me with the much needed clarity I needed and for helping Rolo and I. We can’t wait to go back to BHP! We now know the potential when we visualize all that is possible, establish the Bolender Bubble, give black and white communication, display no emotion when asking or correcting, and being a true leader.
Thank you!!!
