Hattie falls in on the right rein in canter. I'm sure its because I have a very weak right leg and can't feel what its doing (nerve damage) I'm working on getting my leg stronger but any way of teaching her not to do it without too much leg? I find holding up the right rein helps to stop her locking on to it but she can still fall in.
 
Only real solution is to push as hard as you can with your right leg!Zak did this, and it eventually worked with him. I dont know if it would work but you could try holding a long whip in your right hand?and gently touching him with that?(this miht be completely the wrong thing to do!)
 
Thank you. I do carry a schooling stick in my right hand and I do put it against her shoulder which does stop her from falling in to badly. But not enough. It's hard to push her out with my leg as she's a huge lump and I'm not strong enough in that leg.
