Ok so new boy arrived last sunday so had a couple of days off to get to know him. Went riding both days with another pony for company and confidence. He's not done a lot on the roads so expected a couple of hiccups, which we got...He decided that if he didn't like something he would run backwards. Quite scary but i put it down to neves and new surroundings. Went out today and had bigger and better tantrums, ending with a "fantastic vertical rear", don't know how i stayed on but thank god i did!!! Bought this horse as a mother/daughter share, daughters now decided she would rather not bother, and i kinda feel a little wary of his new found capabilities...previous owner said he's never done anything like that before, so is it me?? Have asked her to take him back, am now waiting for decision. What do you lot think and where do i stand?? The advert said "suit any family member. I'm not bitching just want some advice and theories!! PLEASE HELP
