You are here:
I can answer questions on Breaking and Training horses and general riding. I can answer questions on showing your horse and general horse care. I also can help with nervous horses or horses that have a fear of a certain object. The only thing I can't answer for you is questions about your horses teeth, im ok with questions about the bit but not general health care for the teeth.
I own 2 horses and have been around horses for 15 years, I have broken horses and bred them and I also did a college course on horses care and I took 6 Riding tests as proof I could ride, and the judges were from the British Horse Association.
I got a Diploma in horse care and husbandry

sounds like she has lost respect for you, you need to remind her who's boss, when she comes at you and you stop her send her back out to the edge and slap the whip on the floor so she starts moving again
The same happened to me..my top tip would be PATIENCE..please please dont rish into getting on her back..you will ruin her..she may become worse and no-one can break that... i started with ALOT of groundwork
rewars him lots wen he does pick up his hoof...even if its an inch of the ground, hold it for 5-10 seconds then you put it down not him then reward him then again..maybe with another foot...just keep doing
well if he's just rude whilst leading...try the walk a few paces stop rewards walk a few more etc etc...also if he wont take that least step stand further away..then even if he doesnt walk fully up..even
lol.. i recently bought a horse and she is EXACTLY the same..its like they have a split personality problem or something isnt it? basically (as he is new) he is testing you, seeing what boundries he
