Leaping in Harness - Rebuilding Confidence and Patience

Say hello to Jake!
Some of you may recognise him, as we broke and trained Jake originally a few years ago. You can see his videos in the links below.
However, after some time off and a change of homes, his new owner found Jake was lacking confidence in himself in heavy or unusual traffic and lacking patience when asked to stand at the side of the road or at junctions.
In this video, we see some of Jake's more obvious behaviour - i.e. leaping in harness when asked to stand for extended periods of time - and how we deal with it, but also his more subtle behaviour and how we read it.
Barry also talks about the importance of a horse having discipline, why we don't use metal bits and how he first came to using different kinds of bit for driving; including the leather handles he used to cut off sheet music cases!
