Really stupid question but I can't for the life in me think how to stop it!
My neddy is only 3yrs, was straight off the track last August and when I've come to "bash around on him" in the school I've discovered he motorbikes his corners in canter really badly. He doesn't need to be going "at speed" either, he just tips in and scampers on round!! I've never had a horse do it this badly before, he gets right over and I'm worried he'll slip or trip over himself and fall.
Now obviously I appreciate he's a baby and he's weak and unfit and before anyone has a hissy fit about riding him at 3yrs it's all fine - he gets much less riding than he would still being a racehorse! Meaning twice a week for half an hours meandering, if that.
How do I start to combat the motorbiking his corners or will he just get better with fitness and filling out? I hate lunging, please don't tell me to lunge!! Proper schooling work won't commence until next year but he's just ticking over to keep his mind busy at the moment.
