Ok brought my new girl about 6 weeks ago, she was brought over from Belgium last year at 5 and broken in on a SJ yard, she is amazing when you get her in the school and when jumping she learns really quickly (jumped a 5 stride double last week started getting 6-7 strides in as she like to jump deep, once I started getting her going forward she finds it really easy so quickly).
However the problem is getting into the schools she refuses to move, I ended up putting on her controller halter this morning then she gives in staright away, after I schooled her this morning I tried to taker her for a cool down walk down our track which is abot 700m it took 45 mins as she refused to move whatever I did (smacking, Tapping, waiting, turning going backwards) until she just decided to move!!!
I have put her on a magnesium calmer, I spoke to her previous owner who only had her 5 months and she said that she was like it when she got her, until she settled at about 2 months!
I dont let her get away with anything, but she is really trying my patience, Any Advice or is this normal!!!!
Sorry its so long but I feel better for explaining it!!!
