I have just written this thread out once & lost it, so here I go again 
Right I have a 5yr old that has become a little sod to hack alone & sometimes in company. The last few months he has become nappy it's not the napping that bothers me it's what he does. He has a couple of spots he does it, but majority of the time he does it in random places like today. He will either do it on a road junction or if your just plodding alone somewhere.
What he does is, is whips round & refuses to turn back round he just backs up does mini rears he will plant you against what ever is close by such as fences/bushes & he will just go along it with your leg stuck between like today where I had to give in & get off as I was stuck in the prickle bushes I don't like getting of, but sometimes have no choice. I have tried putting my hands right down by the bit & turning, but he just has none of it, I have tried riding in spurs, if I slap him with a whip he objects more I have even tried backing him up the road & even that doesn't work. He is just wierd, I done the same ride on Sunday & he led all the way & was brilliant so it's just random when he does it.
As I said this isn't all the time, my mum said she will ride him the weekend (weather permiting) just to see if he is taking the pee out of me. It's so frustraing as apart from that I can't fault him like today we had 4 horse lorries, a trailer, 2 oil tanks you name it we had it & he was a superstar with traffic. I know he is probs just going through a baby stage & trying it on, but would just like to know if anyone had any other suggestions. The instructor I am going to start using apparently will hack them out for you aswell. Before it would never of bothered me, but since having my daughter I just more aware 
Sorry to ramble on
