When schooling my cob is almost dragging his feet in trot which means he can trip and stumble. Are there any exercises I can do to help him learn to lift his feet more? Thanks
If you ride him more collected and bouncy he should start to bend his joints more and move with more power.
Umm.. don't mean to sound dumb but how do I do that?! Bouncy is not a word I would use to describe him lol
I am sure you will find that the fitter he gets the less he will trip - once he is fitter then trotting poles and cavaletti will encourage him to pick up his feet and carry himself - but don't start them too soon as they are hard work
