Could somebody please give me advice?
I have a new horse -Irish Cob- she hacks out well but 5 of the 6 times I’ve cantered her she’s stopped dead mid way.
She doesn’t fall out of it into trot, she just plants and stops dead.
Today is the first day I’ve fallen off because of it and I’ve really got the wind & confidence knocked out of me.
We don’t have a school to hacking or lunging are my only options.
What am I doing wrong?
I’ve checked with saddler, my balance, legs etc but it still happens.
I’ve never had this with any of my horses so I’m at a loss.
Should I do lunge work on canter before trying again?
Her trot is really fast, like a run so I’ve been working on that with her.
Thank you so much for any advice.
