yeah i think just some time and effort with him he will be a super star, he is only 8 so he is still learning :) would love to affiliate him next season so need to get the work in this year :D
thanks jenny that is some great advice, i did today just put poles on the floor then walked and trotted over them, then put them up to a small height, yes he is a french trotter, so is unbalanced at the moment as he hasnt done much if any schooling. i only school him in a snaffle and he goes...
He is in a grackle too :-) i think i just need to do as wagtail says and just keep them low and keep him calm inbetween the fences, like i said to school he is a dream but just gets over excited jumping.
yeah i know he is always going to be stronger than me.....but just some control would be nice, i think i'm just going to have to practise lots with him. I dont have lessons but may get some one else in to have a ride on him and see what they think......
Hi i hope some one can help me.....i bought a french trotter last month and he is coming on like a superstar, lovely paces, walk trot and canter both reins spot on.
I've now started to jump him twice a week which he loves! but he is just sooo strong, he is in a 3 ring gag on the bottom ring...
