Help or advice please.
I recently took on a 7 year old 15"3 sports horse who was barely ridden for a last few years. He was brought to look at rather than ride!
He is a great horse and when I can hack out with someone he is fine, walks off when mounting but once you are up he is very responsive. He can be a little spooky but never a danger.
However, trying to get him out alone ends up with us going backwards, sideways and sometimes and little up in the air.
We have no school where we are so have recently been using a very bare field at the end of the farm but he just keeps charging towards a gate that goes to another field. He is generally ok if someone walks next to him on the ground but as there are only five horses the with four owners, there is no one normally about.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Generally he is well mannered little horse but I am at my wits ends as to what to do next.
