Good grief, have just read the rest of this thread and I tell you what, BOTH 'sides' of the 'cliques' are being completely ridiculous. Can't tell if you are all just joking around now, but if not, you ALL need to grow up!

Hmmmm
Lots of youngsters buck into canter. They want to bring the strike-off leg forward, under them, but haven't learnt to flex the joint, so buck. This raises their hind end and lets them bring the leg forward straight.
If you ignore it, they soon learn.

On a personal note...thanks for this info Shils. Answers some questions of mine.
OP...I havent rewad the entire thread so I'm probably repeating what a lot have said...
New (young) pony + young rider= nightmare first few weeks. Been there- got the T-shirt. Our git wouldn't do A THING when we got him home. Major dissapointment too. Stick with it.....new home, new owner- different horses. He'll soon settle.
Suggest you get the saddle checked for peace of mind tho.

I suggest we need to add to the Ts & Cs:
Posters must not admit to knowing less than absolutely everything.
Posts about problems with first horses will not be tolerated.
Any admission of nervousness, noviceness or anything less than perfection will be dealt with severely.
Posters should have no expectation of recieving tact, kindness or basic human decency.
That should cover it I think.

Anyone remember the BHS used to have a forum quite a few years back. Admin shut it down because of the bitchfests. Looking back it was quite tame compared to HHO.
Even mumsnet must fear to enter here.

Yep, think so RTS.
I feel so sorry for the OP who posted from the heart about the problems. Nobody, but nobody, has ever known all the answers. Seeing someone subjected to some of the comments on this thread is horrible. Whatever anyones opinions there are ways and means of saying things surely.

Well this thread sums up how vile this place can be at times - from several different people.
Hope OP hasnt been put off posting on here again.
