she goess pull it and sometimes play around with it?
as cause shes not happy shes running and rushing from the pain/uncomfort?
or maybe im wrong ? lol


sorry about all the questions
 
In your first post about your horse being scopey enough, I advised getting instruction and lessons as did an awful lot of other people.
Today you are asking about the horse being strong when jumping and you state that she works nicely in the school when there a no jumps around.
You have said that the horses teeth, back saddle etc have all been checked.
When the other posters have advised that you work on the flat work with this horse its because we have the experience to prove that this is the key. Moving onto a stronger bit will only be of value for a short period of time until the horse learns to evade this as well.
Now you are asking could it be that the horse is in pain???
I think you need to relax, stop panicking and go back to basics with your horse. It is the only way to address the issues you have. Try to walk before you can run or you will trip up and probably land on your head.
 
agreed. you keep asking all of these questions and you seem really stressed out. as i keep saying, if you find a decent instructor who knows your horse, they will be able to give you better advise. because there are so many reasons for a horse to rush its fences and i cant see the horse jump to know if its out of pain or just being green. good luck
 
You obviously care about this lovely little mare which is great

Ditto the others, too many reasons to be able to tell online.

Find yourself an experienced instructor who can work things through with you.

Good luck, it's good to see your enthusiasm and well done for asking for help!
 
I agree, although chill out for a while and take some time to enjoy your horse, from your previous posts she looks like she has potential, but needs a lot more basic schooling. Spend a while hacking and just relaxing, things will calm down a bit then return to schooling. If she's beginning to dislike her bit or ignore you, take her out of the situation entirely so she begins to forget slightly, (hence the hacking) it will then be easier to work with her. Stronger bits will only deaden her to your hands more quickly, which you don't want to do to what could be a great fun and successful partnership soon!
