Working an OTTB that hasn't been saddled in 4 years. Part 1

[@kathleenb6791]

Looks like she’s a really nice horse and that she’s lucky enough to land in the right hands to bring out the best in her. Love the kindness and patience you show to these beautiful horses.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Thank you.

She is so mellow for a thoroughbred.

[@58landman]

She's a lovely and gentle mare and I believe she'll make a fine horse for someone who's calm, takes their time and connects with her. I love mares that age and esp after they've been on pasture for a while with a couple of colts. That has a calming effect that I have seen on a few occasions and they're often very enjoyable to work with and ride safely.

This is Heather, one of her visitors on Wednesday. She is absolutely gorgeous and is gonna be a great horse! I am excited to see her journey with you and how you help her shine.

Nothing I love more than a classy Thoroughbred! A lovely breed of horse! The best trail horse I ever rode was an OTTB!

[@Quezycoatl]

its so funny to see a tb after watching you work these qh's, mustangs, and draft types. she's so skinny and tall like a greyhound lol what a sweet girl she is!

[@erynd2524]

She looks like a nice girl. With a little bit of work and encouragement she’s going to flourish.

[@donnac.1609]

Really a nice mare! Seems to be well mannered for being a track horse! Love her personality and she is put together really nice! Looking forward to seeing her journey forward! Lucky owner and glad you have her to work with! Will be interesting to see if there are any issues down the road.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Yes I really like this horse. I have another video of her coming out on Saturday morning.

I have been surprised in the last few years at how smart and trainable thoroughbreds can be.

[@dianemanson7756]

This is a really nice horse. Impressive for an ex-racehorse. Must have been handled alot after racing. Lucky to have a caring owner, as so many who only raced once or didn't do well, usually end up in a less than happy place.

Pretty rare that we can’t see Tim’s head/face from the other side of a horse.😆 Beautiful mare

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Natalie_C94]

What a beautiful mare! She’s got unusual colouring for a TB. Striking!

[@kidstuff44555]

Great, I love seeing people work off-track thoroughbreds through their issues. They can be very good in some ways, for instance they've been exposed to many different sounds, environments and things like traffic, and had lots of handling. Then in other ways they can be difficult, for instance many of them are not used to being alone and get pretty bad separation anxiety. They often weren't taught to give to pressure and can run into pressure from a bit, or pull back when tied. I love them though

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Yes you're right. I've worked alot of them and so much depends on the training they got at the track. There are certain track trainers that I like working behind and some I do not.

[@allic8571]

Wish I were close to your location. I love your kind, patient training style! My horse and I could use your help..

[@lisalunday8467]

So wish you were closer as I need help with a 3 yearr old I just purchased. Love how you work with these horses.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Might try a virtual video lesson.

[@yvonneschouten8973]

Great Video again!! Thank you for sharing! I love your approach on this mare, giving her time to process new things while training 🙌

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Thank you

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Love these! I always learn something. ❤

[@arribaficationwineho32]

She is a pretty mare. I just found this. I will look for follow ups

[@KarenInCalif]

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

[@wjm9987]

Nice mare!!!

[@andrewpereira5020]

She’d make a very nice dressage project.

[@pjk1714]
