Over reaching

[Becky101]

Just a quick question, and probably a bit dense so sorry, but .... why does my horse over reach? Is it conformational or just due to a poor way of going? To be honest i have never really known why it happens, just what it is!
Thanks

could be either really - I would say more likely to be the latter though. does your horse only do it when jumping or on the flat as well?

She does it on the flat aswell, not really badly or all the time. mostly in walk if that makes any difference?
