Bergs planting issues came back today, he hasn't been ridden for awhile and he doesn't like going out on his own. It took me fifteen minutes to get to farm drive which is about 50yards away!
What worked today was flexing his neck left/right and growling at him. As soon as he offered to move forwards I took all the pressure off. Got him walking on properley in the end. He's a big horse but he was very good in the respect that the worst he tried apart from standing still was stepping back. I can't lead him from the ground as I have more control on board and he's too big to get back on from ground. He's no different if he's got someone on foot but he's fab to hack with other horses.
What do you do with your planters? This is an improvement for him, when I first got him we'd of got nowhere xx
