Can anyone recommend exercises for a horse that is gets overexcited by canter?
G is lovely and relaxed to school, lovely to canter but once you've had a canter its very, very hard to get him to relax back into a nice trot. He's all excited and anticipates another canter.
Tonight's strategy was to do one very short canter and then a good 20 mins of trot work before we had another one but he still didn't give in.
Any recommendations gratefully received, I really want to take him BE this season but its not going to happen if we can't relax in trot.
