I have a lovely 5yo Connie who has only been very lightly backed, have left him to graze and grow slowly but have restarted his education. I’m lunging and long reining and finding that he just tows me about. He’s not a sharp type but he’s quite rude and strong to handle on the ground in that he...

thank you for the encouragement, I’ve been feeling a bit disheartened but I’ll try and find some safer hacking routes with some little canter spots to see if the open space helps. I’ll keep going 💪🏻

Hello, I have a beautiful Connie gelding who is 5yo next month. I got him as a 3.5yo who had literally been backed, toddled around the yard, bit of lunging and then was turned away for 6 months. He then went as a 4yo to be professionally broken where he was happily schooling and hacking. Since...

Hi, I am new so a big hello!! I recently bought my daughter a lovely welsh b who came with a Wilkie snaffle. He lunges and handles really well but the minute my daughter is on him and even touches the reins, he gets really prancy and goes faster. It’s knocking my daughters confidence as she’s...
