DCS Rehab Challenge 2013 - S10 Bridle Training

Ash lay down on his bed to relax after a hard day’s work. He had just spent the entire time with Wolf - training him with the bridle. It was past the half way mark in the rehabilitation scheme and soon it would be time for the horse to enter his first event. He had to be ready. And so Ash had been down at the paddock, patiently easing the horse into a bridle and walking him round the field.
It had been slow work. Wolf hated to be controlled. He liked to release his energy when he wished and training him was a long infuriating process. Luckily the horse seemed to be quite fond of Ash and generally did what he was told most of the time. Sometimes, though, Ash wondered whether the mustang would make it through rehabilitation.
He still had too many old habits that were becoming exceedingly hard to break. The fence in the paddock had been repaired but Ash knew that if the horse really wanted to, he’d be able to jump the fence. He just hoped the horse would soon accept the bridle training.
