Soooo bruce is not going to dressage tomorrow owing to his acrobatics in the school last night.
He keeps running away in canter - my instructor was in fits of giggles (hmmm) as I had to do a pony club style pull up (ie yank) after he ***ucked off with me in the school for the fourth time.
If I dont hold him, and relase the rein and relax, he pisses off bucking, which is nice.
I literally have to do an hours work to get him to chill. When he is tired, he works really really well. I just have to get him to that point. Which takes a while AND I have to go through all the rigmorol of canter/gallop feet everywhere.
He is also very very spooky at the moment, and generally being a git. It feels like I am riding a well schooled horse with a fresh 4 year old mentality.
He also enjoys combining spooking, spinning and then pissing off bucking in canter. Which is nice.
He is sound, back fine, etc it really is naughtiness but I dont know how to stop it.
He is currently...
Out once a week (jumping/showing/dressage/long hack to the downs whatever)
Schooled (flat three times, twice by me, once by trainer)
Hacked twice locally - 45 mins
He is fed
Adlib hayladge
1/2 scoop hifi
3/4 scoop pony nuts twice a day
Snack ball with nuts (3/4 scoop) overnight
He used to be on 3/4 scoop oats and conditioning mix when he was skinny! And better grazing and ad lib hayledge!!!
What to do? Its not nice being 20 feet in the air
I have never had this problem with him! LOL!
