Hi, recently new horse is a bit of a star gazer(ex racehorse), but we've tackled that problem and shes now going in a good outline, besides a few blips when she decideds to through her head up when looking at something or just plain protesting....started schooling, has a lovely balanced trot down the long straight, however when we attempt to do 20m circles she stiffens her neck and wont give me an inside bend, especially on the right rein, now, by the end, my right arm is aching like mad trying to get her to yeild, after a good workout she will work with a nice gentle bend on and off, but was just wondering what else i can do(besides practise) to incourage suppleness and balance in both trot and canter...thank you
