How to own a bolshy horse
Published (2009-12-13 17:20:00)
I am going to the shops tomorrow to buy a dually or similar. Thanks for all the recommendations Sadly at the moment a bridle for leading is not really an option, it still takes most people half an hour to bridle him, and in the field i think he would just run off. I have done it and he was fine, but the groom is not the most patient person in the world, fair enough she doesn't have half an hour to spare trying to catch my pony. He does...

Is he too old?
Published (2009-12-14 23:02:00)
Thank you everyone I don't know his full history, but I know his recent history, where he's competed alot in all areas with his current owner, but just not schooled quite so much over the past couple of years. Tbh, I hadn't thought there could be any problem until it was mentioned to me, so I just wanted a few second opinions as things like that tend to play on my mind! (It wasn't his owner who said that btw, she's...

Published (2009-12-07 19:46:00)
Just trying to get a bit of a clearer picture of what me and Del can do over the winter months and in the spring. My yard has no surface and is quite muddy atm, so nowhere to do any groundwork really, and our gate opens straight onto a 40mph road so no walking out either! So here's my plans: Currently: - get him used to stuff on his back. Have been casually throwing my jacket over him when I'm grooming which he thinks is a bit scary...

No, he isn't too old A middle aged horse sometimes needs a bit more time to warm up but it sounds like he's still fit and raring to go Good luck with him

Sell or keep trying
Published (2009-12-09 10:52:00)
Thankyou for your reply Cortrasna, I,ve been wondering about that for ages. I'm about 5ft 5inches and 58 to 60kilos. In Australia we don't use stones. I,m actually quite sure that is the problem so I think I'll just keep her as a pet unless I come accross a suitable home. But the children would have to be experienced to handle a young horse I think. Regards Oldbushy

They can deal with an hour or two, if the majority of...

She jumped the gate again!
Published (2009-12-06 19:27:00)
I've thought about asking her to be honest. I'm sure she would, even though it would mean she'd have to bring Kels in before her own horse - she didn't even wait a couple of minutes for her hay - which reinforces the idea she has that she's somehow entitled to come in first (this is another issue - she's very much the alpha even in a herd of two, and and considers it an affront if the other horse is brought in...

IMO - Go for it, my 17 year old lives to work, he hates being a field ornament and the more he's worked the better he becomes. So much so, I have taken on two sharers to keep up with him!
Do you know the history of what and where he's from? If he's been there seen it and done it, you will just need to remind him.

It always makes me smile when a rider questions whether getting off and leading a nervous horse past something is the right thing to do.
Let's put it this way, the FIRST thing any carriage driver does with a young or nervous horse who hesitates, is get the groom down to walk by his head and give him courage and help him. It has no negative effect, other than show the horse the way to go and ...

is this dominance or is it defensive behavior? i think it could just as easily be defensive; it could be he is insecure, and so goes on the defensive, rather than being aggresive. it sounds like he is responding to your regime anyhow, so i would just continue as you have been; it all takes time. i would always have a haynet hanging up ready for him, for whatever handling you are doing, as it...

It really depends on why he is leaning on the bit. Lazyness or because he is pulling to go faster?
Either way give away all contact near enough in canter - that way he cant lean on your hands, concentrate on riding him from backside and legs and voice, really encourage him forwards - once he is forward, and with energy, you can harbour the energy into an "upward" energy, which will encourage ...

Hello,I'm new but welcome back Keep going, no advice for how to stop her planting.I have love youngsters i think they are fun, cheeky,test you but the rewards are amazing mostly. Just think about what you want to acheive with the pony and tackle it in small steps. There is so much advice here if you need it not to mention support
Oh and wheres the pics

I tend to go by how Tyler is feeling. If he feels a bit stiff, hasnt been ridden for a bit and has been in for a while I will do a bit longer with more transitions, usually I start before a lesson so that when the RI comes, he is ready for work. I spend about 10 minutes getting him walking and trotting in a nice pace.

You did the right thing - if he'd just been uneasy then its best to leave it until he learns it isn't going to eat him (otherwise he will think that he can just be chewy to get out of doing something he doesn't like), however as it sounds like he full on freaked out, taking it off is right.
If I were you I would practice laying your coat, saddlecloths, lead ropes etc over his back and withers....

Can the other person not bring them in together? It sounds like she really can't cope with being left alone. At all the yards I've been on, no-one leaves the last horse in the field it always gets brought in.
