After 18 months of owning my horse and not riding him after him scaring me I have finally got back on. :D We have hacked, schooled and cantered off the lunge for the first time! I now need some tips for how to get him to be more forward and carry his head lower. I also need some more...

This is what I am hoping for!

I have weekly lessons and I have fallen off due to him taking off around the school. I wouldn't dare to go hacking out. I know it has only been a short time but even my mum can be nervous to ride him and I feel as if he is to much. I have had him sent away to be schooled and that didnt help at...
