rushing

Hi,

I have a four year old 14.2 thouroughbred cross who i have only just recently got. Her back teeth tack feet etc are all fine and up to date and as far as groundwork is concerned she is a dream so sensitive and responds to the lightest touch or voice! Recently in riden work she has started to jog when in walk and rush when in trot so i have begun to do groundwork on sessions and just finish with five or ten mins of just walking which after three atempts of this is startying to progress and help. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of anything else that may help. Due to her being sensitive you have to ride with a very light contact and little leg. She is still a little worried when out on hack as only been at this new yard for about two and a half months but ordinarilly she is far more relaxed on a hack. Any advice welcome.

Thanks x

rach

Re: rushing

Check what you're feeding her. Moving is stressful so she needs a low energy feed. Make sure you sit still as that can wind her up. You may need to be a bit tougher in getting her to slow down. Also she may just need some time to settle down. Make sure she is getting enough exercise as I know with my TB he gets naughty on the ground if I don't ride him enough (Normally he's a dope on a rope - very different riding though!) Good luck! :)
