Help Youngster has gotton stroppy!

[laurabaker]

I have not had my 2 year old long and he is usually a perfect Gentleman but today he just seemed stroppy lol. I was free lunging him and he was having none of it, charged me and kicked out the lot!!
Any advice as I do not want a 16.3hh cranky horse in 2 years!!

All youngsters will test boundries every nown and again. Don't feel that you are doing anything wrong or that your youngster is out of the ordinary. Just keep on correcting 'bad'/wrong behavior and praise 'good'/correct behavior. If something isn't going well, I like to go back to something easier that I know will go better and that the youngster can do easily. You can then end your training session on a good note.
