Well...for me I would handle it myself. I would start by taking him out on short rides or walks and letting him graze or feeding him something that he never gets at home...grooming him, spending time together out on the trail with ease, no pressure...and just extending the periods each week. Make going out a fun adventure. Sometimes with a horse that is very barn sour when they come back from all that fun, I tie them up and untack them, let them just stand for awhile...of course letting them drink water before I tie them up. I never feed once back at the barn..... Going out is fun, coming back, well a mixed bag. Skye
