Quick question

[Chinsky]

Hi I have got a quick question does any1 know the answer
If a horse is demonstrating severe anti-social behaviour and making the rider nervous in a group lesson in an enclosed arena, or in a group lesson in an open space what would you do?

thanx

Ask for a different horse, assuming a riding school, or have a private lesson if my own horse.

Not ride it in a group?

 

[guido16]

If riding school horse - ask for another
if My own - Not cause problems and leave the group lesson
If i was the trainer - Ask rider to leave and get private lesson
If I was in the group on another horse - I would steer well clear or ask them to leave!

Can you give us more details

In general, put a more experienced/confident rider on and do more work in groups with the horse until he relaxes and learns to work in company.

All mine are encouraged to work alone and in groups from backing, in enclosed areas and in wide open spaces.

What behaviour is the horse exhibiting and how experienced is the rider?
