Hi guys !
My pony used to be great to hack out etc I’d have no problem leaving a yard of horses .
But now she is in a field away from the stables and when I try to take her for a hack she will start acting up when I get to a road way that leads to the stables and not want to go in the opposite direction . Even when she is stabled at the stables now and I want to leave to go for a hack she will act up and not want to leave .
What can I do to over come this problem ?
She used to be great and now it’s a struggle to go for a hack 😔
 
1. Ensure there is no pain/discomfort issue.

2. Be calm and consistent with your approach to her.

3. Get a good instructor/knowledgeable friend to go out with you.

It is so difficult to say what to do in these situations without seeing what is happening irl. What does acting up consist of?
