This is the first horse I’ve EVER worked with who had the problem to this extent–any suggestions? Wrong thread for this, obviously! :lol:
I’m not in a position to move her to another barn right now, but the easiest way to desensitize her would obviously be gradually, using tepid/warm water in a 3 sided wash stall with rubber mats, and maybe a little Ace on board. She is not a “stupidly reactive” horse by nature, but just has this weird THING about water… It took me months to get her to walk through puddles, but I succeeded using treats and lots and lots of patience–so I know it can be done!
