Pickle is generally not the most forward going of horses, but i've never had huge problems with this, just means you have to put more work into lots of transitions and varying his work.
However now he has started a new habit, whichever rein he is on his head turns in the opposite direction, its driving me mad. Carrot stretches show he is very flexible both ways. Whatever I do I am really struggling to have him look round corners and stay straight on the long sides. When I try and correct him he overbends in the opposite direction. He does this with my sister as well!
So any ideas on schooling exercises I could try, I have tried leg yielding with him, unfortunetly he isn't exactly a top schooled horse and at 18 its hard to convince him of a new way of doing things!
Ideas very much welcome!
