We have a little 12h pony who is a poppet most of the time. I posted a while back about his napping and we were making headway. My daughter is getting stronger and we have been out loads PC/ shows etc and had a lot of fun. BUT it's getting worse at home it's almost as if the pony is having to up his game because my daughter has. His napping is verging on dangerous now, took off with her jumping a jump in the process, latest thing going straight through the electric fence tape to get back to other horses. We don't have a ménage so we have a properly fenced an area of the field with poles and tape to work in, he rEspects this type of fencing everywhere else. He's a nightmare every ride is exhausting for my daughter and I'm on edge constantly. We are getting some schooling for him but I don't have endless pots of money to send him away every time he acts up. Someone suggested mag ox which he has been on for a couple of days and changing the bit so when he does go she can stop him... I'm wondering did I make a big mistake with him, it's just not fun for my daughter or me...
