    Help with steering a green horse

    I'm not going to ride often in the winter anyway. Now thinking of it I'm not entirely a complete novice. I can walk, trot, canter and jump 70cm courses. I'm just used to riding school masters that do the job and I guess this is a kick in teeth for me and it's a whole new world. I'm not going to...

    Help with steering a green horse

    Unfortunately no I do not have an arena just a field. I'm used to schoolmasters all my life which do it for me and I decided to buy this horse. He's very quiet and good to handle on the ground. Cannot have lessons during the winter as my instructor doesn't do them at that time. He isn't naughty...

    Help with steering a green horse

    Before you all jump on the bandwagon and start commenting rude comments i know he was green when I purchased him, I know I'm a novice I'm planing on having lessons. I bought him because he was my dream horse and I was willing to bring him on. So recently I've purchased a green, 5 year old...

    My new horse keeps putting it's head down

    Excuse me you don't have any ideas what he's like. I've sat bucks, rears, cat leaps, GRAZING horses. His is completely different he puts his head between his legs snatching the Reins of and buck like crazy. It's unexpected and when you ride him you must ride him with short Reins so it's hard...

    My new horse keeps putting it's head down

    He needs rollers on his bit as he has a very large tounge he's a strong horse and I struggle to pull him up. I'd say I'm a competent novice. He was bought as an anyone's ride. It's impossible to stay on him.

    My new horse keeps putting it's head down

    The owner did say he did this but I didn't realise how bad he was. I tried him out and he never did it. I've just had no luck with any horse I've purshased. I was almost affended when she said bute him! Ill definitely look further into getting his back checked. I never trialed him because he...

    My new horse keeps putting it's head down

    He's had his teeth done in December, which in fact was 8 months ago. I've checked his back and felt it and he didn't seem to flinch. According to his old owners he's always seen to do it. Even without tack. I wouldn't say he is heavy in my hand. I think when he just has egnoth he just puts his...

    My new horse keeps putting it's head down

    Recently I've bought a new horse. We've had a few lessons and we're all ready falling out. What he does is in canter or trot he puts his head down right between his legs. He doesn't buck usually but it's impossible. I don't really want to use grass Reins or daisy Reins. It might be his bridle...
