Galileo’s Rehabilitation
Immediately Galileo was treated for his ulcer. He began consistent Cavesson work, redirecting balance and facilitating the use of his back. Galileo also underwent patience-focused rehabilitation, as he had many challenging behavioral issues. Since his transformation, Galileo and partner Paolo have finished in the Top 10 of multiple-distance endurance competitions. Galileo is fit, strong, and happy, due to participate in his first Multi-Day Endurance competition this fall. Check back for his updates!
“I met Bethany Pappani in the spring of 2007, when I was looking for a new home for my Arabian gelding. I was going abroad for several months, and I needed someone I could completely trust on all aspects of natural horse care, including boarding, diet, ground handling, trail training, and endurance conditioning. Bethany did all that and more with my gelding during the summer of 2007. When I came back several months later, I found my horse thriving, easy to handle (you could hardly groom him before), confident and forward in the trails, and essentially ready for his endurance career. I still have my horse under a full-training program with Bethany Pappani, which really is a holistic natural horse care program. Bethany never stops surprising me with her ability to handle difficult horses, from grooming to vet procedures, from safe hauling to trail riding. This ability is part natural talent and part love for the animals; it cannot be explained by mere knowledge and experience. It’s also the love for the sport, as obvious in her meticulous preparation for competitive rides. It’s a real pleasure to be introduced to this complex sport of endurance riding with Bethany taking care of every detail and, to be honest, doing all the hard work, while I can enjoy the miles of fun riding.”
