Well that was a win ! Just take your time with your horse . Only do what you believe to be right ,not what others tell you . B e happy with your horse .

This puts you well ahead of the game .So many people just keep struggling with a problem and not getting help. I was at a loss ,after half a century of horse bothering .Bob would not get on his horsebox no way .I bit the bullet and got help from someone I almost dismissed .A lady at the yard...

I was very happy at Bridley Manor and only the sad loss of my beloved horse took me away.

It is only a terrible idea in the hands of a terrible person. Those little thin sticks (usually with a wrist loop ) that they sell kids are far worse. They cut and damage .

Bob notacob says how very dare you ! LOL Bob has exactly the OP,s ponys problem .If I check him ,he just turns and canters sideways into the jump ,spinning on takeoff to straighten out.He is now 21 and has done this since he was 6 . He has that "hunted in Ireland "brain and nothing can change...

How old is the pony? Have you tried skipping the warmup fences(just do flatwork instead)
