I'm very lucky to have a gorgeous warmblood. Bought for my OH but he's become a weekend rider and so I'm riding more at the moment. He's a talented horse and I'm itching to get out and about with him- we just have one big obstacle in the way, I really can't ride him!
He's 17.3hh and I'm 5'6ft so admittedly he is too big for me and I struggle to hold him together despite him being responsive and quiet. I've mastered rising trot but can't sit or ask for canter to save my life!! He's so bouncy and I end up flapping all over the place when asking for a transition.
I have a jumping lesson booked but going to die of embarrassment when I can't even get him to canter.
I have a 16.2hh that I can sit to easily and been having lessons on an other horse and always get complimented on my canter transitions! Argh it's so frustrating that I can do it well on any other horse, just not my own!
Any advice and tips appreciated!
