(see more by reading Bluff’s story)
Bluff came to Susan Jan Hornstein, after a successful racing career. But the cost of that career was not small. When he was in his stall fear caused him to turn and spin endlessly. The “cure” for this behavior was to tie him with baling twine to hold him in place. Bluff didn’t spin any more but he was left with a terror that was as restricting as the twine that tied him.
When his career was over he found his way to Well Trained Horses.
After two years and much work Bluff is a trusting, gentle, and confident horse. He is genuinely curious about his surroundings and seeks out attention by nuzzling and reaching out to anyone who approaches him. Bluff can still be spooked or startled but these days if Bluff is uneasy it is because a human is uneasy.
Bluff is now ready for the last step of his rehabilitation – he is ready for a new home and a best friend for life. His new owner will enjoy the rewards of the efforts of the many people who have worked with and loved Bluff over the years. With a more skilled rider he is ready for trail rides, rides in the arena
