My pony is 5, and has had a full cheek french link in for the past year, she now refuses any contact through the reins, refusing to go into a nice outline. I have had a few instructors and they have all taught me the same thing, hard to explain through computer, to explain it simply, just squeezing my hands softly (not hard or see-sawing on her mouth), and when she brings it down, i relax my hands as a reward.
for around a month or two in summer she was in a perfect outline (not very constant but good enough for her age) and now refuses any contact through the reins, completely ignoring anything other than steering or stop.
She has no reason to not come into an outline (saddle check,back check and teeth done, not my riding as have had numerous people get on her and try, with no success), that is why i'm now questioning her bit.
Was thinking hanging cheek? or any suggestions?
