14-year-old Vienna came to me with a severe rugging problem. She would bite, kick and if she was close to a wall she would try and crush you. She could be quite dangerous in the stable, as well. She would pin her ears and lunge at you. She might even try and trap you at the back of her box, if she was in a particularly good mood.
She also has horrendous sweet itch, and treating her wasn't exactly an easy task. There would be biting, kicking and even squealing involved. She sounds delightful, doesn't she?! Well, there's more.

Riding was almost impossible unless your prefered gear was reverse. Or up. She liked to rear.

A change in management and a lot of hard work on both sides have made a world of difference to both the horses happiness and the humans.
