The Back In Balance Practice - Forums

[Becky_n_The_Tribe]

I have a 6year old recently broken gelding. He has now been back at the stables for a week or so, and i've noticed a few weird things, which i don't know if they are problems in his back, or if it's because he is still unbalanced. On the right rein, he carries his head to the left, ive tried opening my right hand, and pushing with my right leg, but to no avail does that work. Also, aroung the corners of the school, on his right rein, he feels a little stiff?! And he struggles to do circles. Its hard to explain, but as i bring him round, its as though his shoulder falls in and his hindquarters swing further out and more often than not, we end up againt the wall, because of it. He carries his head in a natural outline in walk, and he is starting to learn it in trot, when we are on the straight sides of the school (his head is straight then). Any advice would be very greatfull!! Thanks for reading XXX
