I have a 13hh pony and the school I ride in is big but his good in the school but when I get to the end of the school he always spooks and bolts of how can I stop this
Constant transitions, change of rein, serpentines, loops, half circles, leg yields... You want him concentrating on you so hard he doesnt have time to shy. When you say bolt, do you mean unstoppable ie gallos out of the school and doesn't stop for anything, a blind bolt, or do you just mean he's cheeky and is carting you to the gate? If it's the later I would be inclined to make him keep on going, as in keep on cantering around and around the school, doesn't matter too much where you are in the school, you want him thinking 'blimey, this is hard work, I don't want to canter' while you're going 'get on with it, go go go!'
I smell a troll...(see other recent threads;!)
I don't smell a troll at all. Just someone who has just started sharing a pony and is full of questions! As did we all when we had our 1st horse.
