If it helps my boy use to jump over the white boards when he had enough! It was always in canter, he would be going around nicely and ping I don't want to do it anymore. It was embarrassing as I use to go back in and carry on where I left off. Test sheets always use to read "0 left the arena" &...
When I brought my 3 year old he hadn't been handled, just a head collar on him. He's 6 now and he was the easiest most laid back horse to break in. Started ground work with him as soon as I got him, he couldn't even pick his feet up. I do think a lot of it is to do with temperament and personality.

My gelding fractured his tibial crest a year ago by getting kicked by another horse. He Had to have 3 months on box rest and walked twice a day for 15 mins. When he was brought back into work it was very slow progress to build him back up. He's been in normal work for almost a year now which he...
