he is rather compact and has a naturally high head carriage. we start off lovely and he is long and low in walk and trot. i do admit i start off relaxed and as we get worked in i become more serious and maybe that is transferring to him and he is sensitive to it and so is evading my aids because...

ok thank you, i understand now that it could be pain related thank you for your responses.

he will happily do it when he is hacking or when he is warming up to jump

thanks for your help guys :) i will keep a close eye on anything

oh really! that is good to hear you sorted your boy out! I will have a good look tonight at his tack and see if anything is bothering him.. I have changed his bridle to a micklem and he seems a little more settled but the silliness starts after about 10 mins of lovely work.. so it could be...

he has suddenly gone from no turn out to a lot of turn out with good grass.. no back massages with knots and very tight spots to good treatments and no tightness, a saddle that fits and is comfortable and to comfortable teeth.. he has put alot of condition and weight on and i wonder if all of a...

I have been thinking and realized that my saddler came only 1 week ago.. silly me. I am trying to think of any changes that happened 2 weeks ago and I cant place anything.. I do think that he is just taking the mick.. he doesn't look uncomfortable and the fact he is bouncing around with his ears...

i am going to try and take schooling back to basics, let him warm up on the lunge and work long and low.. do half the session on the buckle and work on relaxing. he is very compact and has a short back my saddler said he has a typical show jumper back very short not much wither so maybe i am...

i will have some flat lessons with my old dr trainer.. i have been having jumping lessons but he concentrates when he is jumping so it is no good for this sudden problem.. i will stop these for a few months and have some flat lessons i think :)

the person who does his treatment is also a equine massage person :) lol she does both! my friend bought some ulcer supplement from equine america because someone suggested this could of been her mares sudden stopping at fences problem and major napping and now she has nearly stopped this.. i...

actually thinking about it the saddle was reflocked only about 1 week ago not 2 weeks! Silly me.. and the silliness started about 2 weeks ago! he was very stiff when I bought him and very tight through the saddle area poor thing.. he had no turn out before I bought him at all and now goes out...

no it started a few weeks ago! he is very nosy and interested in everything thats going on around him.. his head goes in the air and his ears are pricked right forward and he completely ignores me! I do wonder if it is boredom.. I do not school for more than 2 days straight I always hack or jump...

hi last treatment was about 9 days ago :)

He has been having Mctimmoney treatments he has has 2 since i bought him 4 months ago I have also had his saddle re fitted and re flocked about 2 weeks ago and have had his teeth floated, he had some hooks but they were sorted out.. his feet are done every 6-7 weeks.

Hi guys I have a lovely 16.3hh kwpn who is 8! he is the most loving horse I have ever owned and has come from a showjumper back ground.. I have had all his back treated which was very bad when I bought him, his teeth done, his saddle re flocked and re fitted and is very spoiled :) I started...
