Shires Daisy Rein-Black One Size

Product Information

If he were leaning, ie just heavily hanging on your daughters hands, as if she is holding the whole weight of his head - its leaning and is a schooling thing for both him and her.

I am going to suggest, maybe riding her only when you have others with you - to help you become more confident and stronger. And, when you are alone - maybe ride another horse who is allows you to relax and just enjoy yourself?

Have a martingale stop on the reins close to the bit. Ensure your daughter is wearing gloves. Start teaching it at a slow walk by having your daughter reach forward and take hold of the inside rein between the bit and the martingale stop. Then pull the ponies head round to her knee and make the pony stand for a moment. Keep practising so the pony becomes used to what your daughter is asking it to do. With the ponies head brought round to the knee your daughter has control. Pulling on two reins will never work! It takes practice but I think it is imperative that all children are taught this. So he pulled them again, and I didn't budge - so he had me go out on the rail, and work on that, and when Nelson rooted - I did not budge, and what happened was Nelson caught himself in the mouth. If he is pulling down very sharply, ie yanking the reins out of your daughters hands, it would be snatching - snatching the reins off her. Its a very cheeky pony maneuver! ( thats ofc since you have ruled out pain)

Maybe last year before I ditched my diet it would have been ok - what do you think?? There could be a number of reasons as to why your horse is rooting - poor saddle fit, mouth hurts, too much hands in her face, not enough leg and too much rein, etc, etc, etc - can you eliminate the reasons as to why she is doing this?So, lets take this as a learning experience - this mare deserves praise as well because she's teaching you - to become a more confident rider and a more determined rider. Maybe not at this point, but one day you'll see that.
