I have a five year old,15hh mare (had her since she was 3 months old) I love her to bits but we are not really compatible.She is typical chestnut mare,spooky,moody etc I have hacked her the last 2 summers but bring her home to our farm for the winters and dont ride her,she just stays in the field with 2 youngsters.She has made me lose confidence when riding so I tend to put it off if possible,and although I had some lessons on her during the summer I am not good at schooling so didnt do much schooling with her,I was taught to ride many years ago when everyone gripped with the knees. Im not sure whether to find a sharer who enjoys schooling and therefore improve her behaviour when out hacking,ie not rushing off,shying at everything,Im not even sure I am using the correct bit/noseband on her.Or would it be best to send her somewhere for schooling for a couple of weeks in the spring and let them get me back on track.Any thoughts would be appreciatted.
