I’ve had new horse for approx 6 months. When he came he hadn’t done much hacking at all or seen much of the big bad world! He has a nappy streak in him and when unsure he will spin, go backwards and little half rears. We’ve tried the nice approach, I’ve had a pro get on him and did very much get after him... he went but became very nervous. He was good for a few months after this and has now started to revert back, perhaps because I am hacking more on my own??
I make sure I ride him forwards (one of the reasons of riding on my own as the others are far too slow and I keep having to pull him up which doesn’t help) but when he decides he really doesn’t like something he can be tricky to get moving again and he turns himself inside out as I think he expects a hiding. Any advice greatly received!
He’s forward in the school, off the leg, and flatwork coming along nicely. It’s just an issue out hacking!
