Okay so my Welsh Section C finds it incredibly hard to keep in canter, like just about able to do 1 20m circle and I have to flap around! She struggles to bing her hind legs underneath her wich is probably the cause, why does she so this and is there anything I can do to improve it? I really...

Okay so I have TB x mare and have had her for a year and a half and she's terrible to lunge!!! She is better in the lunge pen and I've given up lunging with a rope for fear she will tangle herself in it! She will start off walking fine but when I flick the crop/ask her to walk on/click she will...

Hi all, thanks so much for your advice, have put her in a flash and been working on those transitions with a nice calm horse for company and the other day we actually CANTERED through a field! No wild gallops anymore! She is also on NAF Magic calmer (power stuff) and its helped take the edge off...

yes I might try that =)

She speeds up but turning would be hard as most of our hacks are on tracks or uphills :/ Good adive tho =)

Yeah may try that if i need to but even though she is strong she is quite a sensitive soul but as I have got a pelham anyway may as well try it, I used it with roundings before =D

Yeah maybe. I was also told by my instructor to try Magnesium but not sure if it will have that much effect though...?

Oh she is fine doing that, after initial 'are we going now/' then she just walks happily along and she will trot too its just when I canter it gets faster and faster before she is galloping out of control :P

She's fed MolliChaff Origional, Calm and Conditioning Cubs by TopSpec and SpeediBeet, although she'll be coming off the conditioning cubes and SpeediBeet soon for just Cooling Mix and Chaff. =D

Yeah, I think I'll defo put her in a drop or flash, she is in a flash but used as a cavesson right now so its easy, she opens her mouth and sticks her tongue all the time!!! Funny that she's a part New Forest too!

Yeah I think the transitions will help and you've hit the nail on the head with the whole finding it fun thing! She is never malicious about it, she just loves herself and galloping too much! I'd never not let her run but its nice to know you can stop :P I usually use my gag with roundings...

Yes I think I will definitley put it back on =D I allready have a few so its worth a try :)

Sounds good, will try it =)

The coming out of the saddle sounds just like me except its a habit and I find it so hard to make myself sit down as with my other horse as she is reasonably laid-back I allways go into a two-point position, I am rather doubting its a physical problem too as I compete her showjumping and nothing...

Is allready booked for dentist =) She has been coming in over winter so may have had an effect as this is my first winter with her. Thanks, A x
