I have recently gotten a new horse, he is only 4 and just coming back into work after being turned away for a little while.
He is lovely to hack, forward going, doesn't spook much and seems to really enjoy himself. We go out alone and I will happily ride him on a loose rein, he always listens to me and although he is eager to get going he is never strong.
However in the school his is a completely different horse. He completely ignores me, goes where he wants to go, very strong, a little bugger!!
I am hoping to get an instructor out to help us but just wondered if anybody on here had any hints and tips as well.
What he basically does is just drag me over to the gate, if I can get him moving forwards away from the gate he will just drag me straight back over there. He ignores me completely and we just end up fighting against each other.
I have tried all sorts but he just seems to HATE the school!
