See I think this as well, I would touch her with a barge pole lol I would want a contract and know that my horse was being well looked after by an adult and an adult with a good few years riding and horse experience and would be wanting references too, and I wouldn't let my horse more than 30...

Would you loan to a child of 13? And let said child move your horse to another yard? Ive just seen a post on a Facebook group asking about loans a friend of mine mailed her and asks her what age she was her reply was 13 she wanted a horse to loan and wanted to move horse to a yard with no...

It was their attitude toward me that I didn't like very patronising, got some good advice form more positive people on here and I'm grateful for the positive posts thank you

The bit and noseband has nothing to do with it, she's wore the same one for over a year and this is just a new thing .

You are lucky you get 30 minutes, sometimes she is great and goes really well other times I can't even get her out the school or yard. And sometime we can go out and she doesn't do it at all, but it is becoming more regular. Yes it is a very painful experience, a battle of wills, I will not...

No she gives you no notice that she is going to do it, she's so quick in doing it too, I've been riding with my leg on in the hope that I can catch her quickly and keep her going the way i want her to go, other riders have tried with a whip to but this seams to make her rear quicker, where as if...

No read the post back again and take it in and stop just putting your own words in! I didn't say she got anxious when stopping when randomly turning, I said she got anxious when I halted her completely different scenario all together. and I am in control of her! She is a very strong horse and...

Thank you for your positive reply! I will give this a go and see if this helps I do reward my horse vocally and praise her all the time while out riding and when we return to the yard she gets a small treat, the only roads I ride on are very quite back roads so not a lot of traffic on the...

I am an experienced rider! And yes she does it with different riders!

I think if you read my post back you will see that I am being very clear on what I'm saying with the random turning I've said I think she is being naughty and with the halting she is anxious, couldn't be any clearer! Read things clearly before you jump in to criticise people! And I do think of...

Done this too, doesn't help whole hack has to go home because of it, no not the random turning, it's not fear it's just her being naughty (I know this as I've jumped off her and walked 20 yard and got back on and she will be fine for a while then randomly turn again) as she does it on all...

Take a few weeks break away completely and switch off to everything horse related and go back with a fresh head, worked for me, I had a couple of falls and lacked confidence and went on holiday for 2 weeks and switched myself off to it all back home and came back a new woman, my confidence has...

I've done this plenty of times and long reined her, but still nothing working hence why I'm asking on here!

Hay all im new on here and looking for some advice I have a 7 year old mare and she has started randomly turning and heading for home while we are out hacking, I've tried turning her and trying to get her to go forward and carry on with the hack but she point blank refuses to and will try and...
