We have just bought a fabulous new pony for my daughter. He's really forward out hacking but in the school....not so much! When we tried him his owner offered my daughter a stick but she didn't want it, she's never used one before.
Last night at home, I gave her a schooling whip - just because it was all that was handy - and she wouldn't carry it as she maintains she 'can't' hold a whip! Obviously a schooling whip is not the easiest thing to carry and I plan to give her a short whip next time but has anyone had the same problem/overcome it?? She seems to have a proper mental block about.
