Some seem to live on their nerves and it's a crying shame because they can end up getting passed on and on and on. You need the right person who has plenty of time and patience to spend on him - perhaps advertise him as a project if he has to be sold :(Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:08:50 GMTTally Hohttp://www.horsehunter.co.uk/forum/Topic4808-9-1.aspxA freind of mine recently bought a pony - who to cut a long storey short, is not even close to being suitable - so she's sent him to me for some schooling - and I will probaly have to sell him for her!</P><P>I have managed to establish the basics with him - ie/ walk trot and er canter (ish) he will also accept the bit and stop - sort of on request!</P><P>I do however ride him on draw reins at the mo - please dont shout - I know its not done, but I darent ride him without at the mo!</P><P>I believe he has been broken in very badley - and as a result he thinks he has to go everywhere - very quickly, to say hes sharp is an under exageration - and I like my cobs! </P><P>He tends to get very tense and nervous, and at this point he could be dangerous - not because hes nasty - but his flight response will kick in!</P><P>My question is - how do I progerss with him?</P><P>Any Ideas welcome?! I am not the bravest of jockeys - but once im on him, I do quite enjoy him?!</P><P>Also are there any jockeys who would want such a pony?!Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:45:18 GMTicclewunda
