Thanks GG that's exactly what she's doing, running into a contact and when I don't pick it up for her she just gets faster. I'm not a fan of lunging anyway so that suits me. I'll try the transition exercise next time we go in the school. Thanks again

She fine if not a little slow in walk, it's mainly trot and when we canter (although don't canter much in the school) I'm going to take all the advise and mainly hack her over winter, if I do have to use the school I can lunge and just do walk, bending and circles etc

She's brilliant on the lunge, she's a bloody complicated mare give me a gelding any day lol

I would personally carry on with what your doing my tbX was backed and broken at 3 because he was ready and gently hacked all over the winter, schooling started in the spring when he was 3 1/2 (September foal) he's never had time off because he never needed it, he loved learning and going out...

Tried circles and she doesn't slow down just ends up tripping over her legs and it's too far to fall haha also using my legs to bend and half halt just makes her go faster, she is very sensitive to the leg. I know it takes 2 to lean and I've tried not holding her at all but she just gets faster...

Hereshoping she didn't like the French link, she went best in the verbidend because it was curved I think 😁

The school is a good size just not huge, she's been fine with it all summer this fast/leaning has only returned in the last 4 weeks. Unfortunately the yard isn't ideal at present we have new owners and a full size school on the cards but not until next summer. My other horse very rarely went...

Unfortunately I can't turn her away completely as we don't have winter turn out, we still have every other day until Xmas but then there in =( We do hack more than school but with these dark nights we have to school a few times a week, also she's gotten a little bit spooky with traffic so we...

My legs are very long and wrap around her lol We don't have a big school so unfortunately we have to work with what we have for now. I think it is all balance, she is huge and all legs but she needs to learn how to use them problem is I can't get her working from behind as I'm constantly being...

I need some help and advise with regards bit/noseband. A bit about me, I have had and ridden horses for 20+ years, broken many horses of my own and helped with other peoples. I still have fortnightly lessons. A bit about Halo, she's a 17hh, 4 year old sports horse who I acquired in quite a sorry...

I've just put the jefferies harmony in my newly backed 4 year old and she loves it. We originally had a plain hanging cheek which she didn't like then I tried her with the jefferies balance bit, she was ok for a couple of weeks but she just didnt feel right, she's now got the jefferies harmony...

Buying and breeding both have advantages. I have a 3 year old who i breed (well was an accident really) he has no breeding but i don't think i could of bought a horse like him, he is a joy to own and has alot of his mums good points and doesn't seem to have any of her bad points. The upside of...

Sorry to Jump on this thread but i can't start a new thread???? Someone has suggested taking my 3 year old to Futurity, he is tb x cob but nether parents were registered, he is always placed well at shows and did really well at Warrington show (4th out of 23 in youngstock coloured, 2nd in...
