Hi everyone. I'm new on the forum but just thought I'd ask for some advice.
I bought an Irish X pony about 7 months ago, and he has a bit of an issue in one corner of our school. The school is like a dressage arena and has boards around the outside but no fence. There are also X-country jumps around the outside that we can use. Sox (my pony) has recently started napping towards the jumps and become quite strong. I ride him in a snaffle bit but that was all he needed. Anyway, he has now begun refusing to turn on a circle up that end, and instead goes straight toward the boards and jumps out of the school. He only does it on this rein and I have asked several people for advice but nothing is working! He is still only just 6 though so know he is just a baby but it's not on.
Got any advice?
