Episode 2: Teaching Thor horse language

*Make sure you watched Thor Episode 1 before proceeding*

Mia is invited to work as a horse behavioral therapist and trainer at the 1st Week of Welfare for Sports Horses in Sao Paulo, Brazil. There, she had 5 days to train 8 horses of different ages and backgrounds.

This is Thor: a young horse who was rescued as a stray foal and raised by an animal activist veterinarian who had no prior experiences with owning horses, but has a huge heart and took on the challenge. Thor lived in her house among many rescue dogs, but no other horses.

Very loved and well taken care of, he grew up healthy and strong -so strong that he required training. It wasn't safe to be around him anymore. He overpowered people and had no respect for them.

However, all of his tutor's attempts to get somebody to train him were frustrated: she considered the methots too rough and forceful. Furthermore, Thor would have to live confined in a stall, because that is how most of Brazil's equestrian centers are. She would rather have Thor living free and happy than in confinement, even if it means that he would stay disrespectful and dangerous.

Until she heard of Mia coming to the 1st Week for Welfare of the Sports Horses and decided to give it one last chance. Luckily, it was all for the best. She moved Thor into Kober Equus Stables, which is one of the few places around that prioritize welfare and has pastures for them to be together and move.
