I bought a 6 year old mare in January, so it's been five months now. When we went to try her she was very level headed, still quick but steady enough. However, now she's constantly very forward (worse when she's in season), sometimes if she hasn't been ridden the day before, she's almost uncontrollable in trot. She's not strong just very quick and hates a strong contact and if you do she carries her head like a giraffe but it not she flies off with you at 100mph. I stopped feeding her any hard feed seeing as she obviously didn't need the extra energy and she's staying in good condition but barely steadied. On the ground she's an absolute angel; like an oversized labrador (and a dopey one at that). I'm really stumped now so if anyone could help (not just with feed but with tack as well) it would really be appreciated as she has tonnes of potential and will make a lovely show jumper if only we can crack this pretty fundamental issue. Thanks in advance! x
