Hi
I have a rising 3 year old warm blood who when lead out of his stable, even if he's only been in it for half an hour, rears, broncs, cow kicks when lead back out.
He does some inhand work without as much nonsense if don't straight away from the field. But usually needs a free canter round the school first so he can concentrate.
He is huge and this behaviour is not much fun. I've tried ignoring it. I've tried telling him off with my voice and body language, backing him up etc but he rears over my head so its a bit scary.
I've tried normal head collars, and a be nice pressure one which is more effective
Any idea how to stop this?
I was due to be backing him this year but of this carries on I'll be leaving him to grow up before I even think about sitting on him.
All other behaviour he is lovely!
Thanks for reading. X
