    New Forest Cross - Who has one?

    Just bought a gorgeous little NFxTB unbroken 3yo yesterday from someone up in Hampshire. Has such a wonderful temperament and will hopefully be really good for my younger sister when I've finished. ❤

    Riding a horse in an outline - different methods of asking...

    Like the others have said; I'd do lots of circles, serpentines and hill work. :) also, maybe really try to get his back working and going forward..

    It is mainly the legs you should use though, not the hands. Think it as 'don't have stern hands'? :)

    I think it sort of is if the horse isn't used to it... :(

    TBH, I've known it as 'playing' with you reins. ;)

    Well, what I mean is, is that you don't constantly do all those things. After the horse had excepted the bit, you reward them by stopping the action you've been using. :)

    Riding a horse in an outline - different methods of asking...

    This is an area I like to cover, :) Best ways: - Jiggle (GENTLY) the reins. - Sponge. - Thumbs on top, tilt your hands. However, the pony MUST be going foward first! :)
