Iv recently backed my mare. We have done plenty of ground work (lunging/long reining) she was spot on.
We have the back lady/saddle fitter/dentist (even though she's bitless)
First few rides she was fine now we have constant trouble on the left rein
She will happily walk round but the minute you ask for trot she starts pulling her head to the right eventually leading img to her facing the fence and becoming impossible to pull back round. She will also attempt bucking if you keep asking. I don't think I'd class it as napping cause she does this at any point you ask for trot and that rein.
Iv also been lunging her still and the left rein has become a problem then aswel. Iv always worked her equally on both reins to prevent her being stronger on one. Someone recommended using a Pessoa and putting the inside rope tighter to bring her in. Iv never used one so unsure if that would work. Any helpful tips?
