I basically need some reassurance!
As some may know, i recently bought a very green 5 year old with an amazing attitude and he was come on so much. The trot has slowed down, he doesn’t charge at poles and he’s actually letting me get on him!
But I haven’t really cantered, due to him being unbalanced and completely rushing in the transition and in canter. (Even though he did canter with previous owners). I do feel we have a taken a step back since we have sorted out him getting his tongue over the bit as I’m not sure he’s ever really been ridden with a bit in properly, so we have some evasion!
But please can you give me some reassurance that I’m doing the right thing, by letting me know how long before you properly started canter work on your youngsters?
