Hi, just wondering if anyone had any ideas to help with my horse's napping on hacks.
He will lead on a hack but will suddenly stop and run backwards to the horse behind. My issue is I cannot kick him forwards as he just keeps going backwards towards the other horse. If I horse too much force he will kick out out a sharp tap or rear.
Completely lost at what to try next.
He's just coming back into work so I cannot work through the issues via schooling. I have been long reining him to get him confident going out alone either around the yard or field.
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!
