My wee welshie can be so hard to keep forward going! I virtually have to kick him every stride to keep a decent pace up. (i mean proper pony-club flapping) it looks hideous, and it's with spurs. I have tried backing up m leg aids with the whip but that makes no difference.
He's not dead to the leg because just occasionally i hardly have to touch him and we're away like the wind.
He's not unfit and could qiute happily trot all day...once we've finally got going. he's ridden six days a week and gets really stroppy if he has to have time off!
I don't know what to do, i hate kicking him so much, any ideas?
