Now you have probably heard this 1000's of times but I am having difficulty mounting now Im an experienced Im an AI coach or whatever they call it these days, so I bought an ISH last year and it was obvious that this boy have been abused you could not even groom him without him flipping out so fast forward a year and a hell of alot of patience and love and we are there he trusts he is being ridden and once mounted besides being abit on edge and spooky type he is fine but somebody has to hold him on the ground for mounting now ,but if you try and do it on your own (so much fun lol) I have tried everything he has had chiros dentist tack i fine etc... endless practice at the mounting block the problem is not when you put your foot in the stirrup to mount it is the second you pick up the reins now I mean just by the buckle the second you touch them he tenses and either backs up or shuffles away from the block we have changed to bitless and have the exact same reaction does anybody have dealings with this? because Im up against a wall with it things I would try with other horses you can not do with him raising of voice etc.. will just make things worse for him he will shakethank you
