My horse is injured at the moment and my friend has said that I can ride her horse. I had a quick try on him the other day and although generally great to ride he took every opportunity to put his head down to eat grass. He does it even at a trot and I have seen him do it at a canter. Although I have been riding for years I found it very difficult to stop this, and once his head was down it took tremendous effort to get it back up. The owner does not ride with a crop, although on occasions has used mine.
I can understand why he is like this as he has had lami, and got Cushings. He is only 10 and for years has been on limited grazing.
I would like some ideas on how to stop this, apart from riding on roads
