placing poles ? What about bounce jumps? try raised calvetti poles, then a stride, then the jump ... Horsey will need to slow down and think . or when hes rushing into it , stop him a few strides out , walk a semi circle of the school and pick up canter again , and keep on at this.

chifney bit ... or any controlling headcollar and call a mate. fill a bucket full of water and "THROWWW" literally do it to all my horses , they will learn .. Better still go on a lovely long hack/ schooling sesh, on a really warm day , he may even be thankful of a cooldown then

have you tried "freeing up his back" ... its literally riding like jockey style around the school for about 5minutes, at a steady canter ! really beneficial to freeing up the back. This might help to get his self carriage better . Dont do this too often as it is painful due to them "freeing up"...

Im far from cruel but nappyness i cannot deal with nappyness , my horse should be able to happily ride out on its own or in company (wether it be 1other or a hunting field full of horses) I find They need confidence . If they got this (too an extent) then its rudeness . Take 2 schooling...

Just expect your horse to be a bit "hot" to start with, everything will be new to him and especially you. As mensioned autumn hunting is less "forward" / a bit slower. Also you need to expect waiting around for a good 20mins atleast every so often as trails are made and for the hounds to pick...

I should add * I meant !!

You and rambo will probably both enjoy yourselves and meet a lot of new friends , let us all know how you both take to it . It's nice for your horse to meet others and having a good gallop too !! P.s , ENJOYYYYYYY and don't worry too much , there will be others on naughtier horses than you , I...

thanks guys , reason is that i have outgrown her but cant bear too sell her so thinking loaning her out is the best option . I want a bigger horse and my parents dont want to pay for 2 horses and i've got to think about my gcse's so time is a little tight :)
