Hi,
I have a 4yo Kwpn that I have had for two weeks now. He has been perfect in every way since he arrived. Works really well on the flat in the school where we have no problems at all with napping. I have hacked him out a few times in company and he has been as good as gold including going in front. However, today he was having none of it! He would not turn left out of the yard he just wanted to go right. every time I put my leg on he just rears! I can't understand his sudden change in attitude! He wouldn't even follow his friend, in the end I had to get off and lead him down the road into a field so I could get him to go forward without being on the road! In the end he went really well in the field, trotted and cantered away from his friend, went past her etc he had a small tantrum in one corner of the field but I just kicked him forward and he was fine. The main problem I have is that I can't turn him right, fine in the school or schooling in the field but he does fall out to the right. How can I get control of his right shoulder, other than riding squares!
Also, I have had 4yosbefore but never had one that napped in company!
Any help appreciated, sorry its so long!
Thanks
