Hi,
took my pony showjumping today and she was an absolute tank that just got faster and stronger as we went round, I was constantly leaning on her to try to sit her up into fences (it was not pretty!) but I might as well have not been there! She is ridden on the second ring of a dutch gag, however I’m after advice of something stronger as she is just getting worse and ignoring all of my aids. She just lifts her head and runs basically.
she schools fine on the flat and is super light (apart from canter, again annoyingly strong but my instructor says that it is just her and she’s been like it since he had her (bought from him)) so it isn’t a schooling issue that she will just move on from, she is 13 and stubborn as they come.
After a google I was looking at either the kineton noseband or a tom thumb, however my concern with the latter is how strong it is and if using that and she becomes to ignore that too I will have no where else to go://
p.s. tried her in a pelham and it is an option but could tell she doesn’t like it so after other ideas!
