hi
so i have a 15.2 chunky bay mare! shes on loan to me at the moment, shes perfect in every single way apart from this one little snag!! before her owner bought her she said that molly was a driving horse, in result of this she now trots with her front legs and walks with her back legs, almost like shes jogging or pacing !! i was just wondering if anyone has any tips or exercises i could do with her to snap her out of it!!
thanks

If it were me I'd be getting physio and vet out to check her physically. If they give her the all clear I'd lunge her for a few weeks and get her trotting normally on the lunge and only then progress to riding her.

That just doesn't sound normal I'm afraid. Even pulling a cart, she'd need to use both her front and back end.
