I've recently started leasing a 16hh thoroughbred, who is very experienced (done showjumping, dressage, cross country, pony club and heeeaaapppsss more). hes got a gorgeous frame and collects, gets on the bit and everything. only thing is in the trot, he gets a bit strong and i have to have constant pressure on the reins, because if theres no pressure on his mouth he just keeps getting faster (no i am not pushing him on with my legs). then when i ask for a canter, he just takes off really fast and out of control. it takes me about 10 metres to stop him again, but still its really annoying. how can i get his transition to canter to become smoother and more controlled? also, how can i stop him from being strong in the trot and get him more supple?
thanks!
thanks!
