Let me introduce you to Zabbar. Zabbar is an ex-racehorse and even though that was many,
many years ago, he still has anxieties from that time. They're reflected in when he's tacked up
using the saddle and also, he's incredibly body sensitive so when you're brushing him,
he has a tendency to turn around and try to bite and also, looks incredibly uncomfortable with it.
All of these anxieties are also being reflected in the fact that he crib bites.
Now, crib biting is where a horse will suck in wind so it's also commonly known as wind sucking.
Our first job was to bring Zabbar's mind right down so that we could start from this lovely
zero state. In this relaxed state, we will bring out the saddle and we will work with him. We'll also
bring out a brush and work with him and help him to undo all of this past stuff so that
he can be peaceful. He doesn't need to hold any of that anymore, it was a long time ago.
Of course, I'm getting the carer to understand what the Trust Technique is. We've taught her
how to quieten her mind down and create this space and right now, she's doing that with Zabbar.
Once we've established that we can relax him, then we can start our work.
So the next video is going to be showing you how we work with this peace of mind and literally help
him to be peaceful with the things that he's been carrying for such a long time.
