Ok so I need some help.
I bought Bobby a year and half ago, he was good when I went to see him, been out work 2 years been ridden twice in the arena since friend started bringing him back I to work for his owner, friend found out owner was selling him, friend got me to come see this horse, I bought horse there and then 😂😂.
I have him 9 months off after only having him a month because my first pony died and I lost the passion to ride and felt I was doing something wrong by riding another horse without her around. I got the passion to ride back 7 months ago and have just been hacking down the road.
Hes fine when we move off at home. Get on, he walks of calmly, gets to drive still going fine. At end of drive yep still cool just merrily walking along, get to the gate and onto the road? Hello horse that jogs and spins trys to turn home constantly and when we do turn around to go home trys to canter the whole way, get to end of drive on way back and he starts jumping g all over place and having a tantrum and then trys backing up over a fence into a sheep field. It's a pain in the ***
HE recently got a new saddle and spins a bit less it's now just tantrum spinning not "my saddle moved I don't like that" (it was a treeless before and he was bitless till the other day when the pain tryed bolting the second he saw an open field to the side of this track, he now has a Gp saddle and a standard noseband eggbutt French link snaffle)
HE'S regularly seen the vet (my retired ottb needs the vet alot...) And has no issues.
I'm running out of ideas on what I can do, when I get a job that csn afford livery I'm gunna move him to a livery yard for a few months so we can work on schooling each day, even if that means I have to deal with parents saying in ungrateful for not keeping 1 of the 3 horses here.... I need an arena I know.
Anything I can do in mean time to get him to chill out hacking? He's like a firework 😂
