UHi, I purchased a cob gelding two years ago... he Is now 9. He has always been forward going which I don’t mind at all but it is getting worse and he is jogging practically the whole time especially on the way home I can’t feel my arms. I’ve tried making him stand, backing up, circles and even going past the entrance to the yard/field but It doesn’t work. He shakes his head badly in spring and gets very snotty which after discussions with a vet figured out this is allergies, this I also don’t mind but it is getting worse and seems to get snotty when ridden most rides. He jI have tried all sorts of masks etc but nothing works. He now won’t stand at junctions he just thinks he is a tank! Or has a hissy fit at the junction especially when asked to walk on. He won’t always stand for me to mount either it is different everyday. I have tried ground work including lunging which he just charges round like a lunatic and gets quite worked up, I’ve had his teeth checked back and tack so I really am at a loss. He seems to be getting worse rather than better and after trying and having patience he doesn’t seem to be getting any better and my confidence is getting worse with his worsening behaviour. Any advice would be great
