Advise..............?

She drags herself along with her shoulders, and it is very uncomfortable to ride because it's so choppy.





Just before you ask... there is nothing wrong with her and she just had a vet check. She's 7yrs old and 'healthy as a horse'.





Just curious as to what techniques you use... western or english (dosen't matter to the horse its all the same). Thanks... you can never give me too much info, thanks.





she only does this at the lope, and I do tons of lateral work, getting her to move her hip and shoulder... she can do all of those things at the walk and trot, plus I use lots of ground poles at differents paces, and she can work over poles in all gaits. And I have taught her lead ques, and rollbacks, she just doesnt want to use her haunches in the lope. Thanks everyone!





any questions (pertaining to this problem)? I'll be glad to answerAdvise..............?
What you do to get her off her shoulders is drive her into the bit with you body and also you need to make sure you are carrying your hands, cause many horses use your hands as leverage.So, your gonna have to keep you hands in place over the withers, not in front or below but over, that will help them carry their head, and if they try to hull down don't give in, keep you hands in place and your back strong.But, a good horse should always propel with his hind quarters.


Hope this helps!!!Advise..............?
Have her bite the bit while you lope. It makes her tuck in her neck and brings her head off the ground so to speak and she will stop pulling forward with her shoulder. Do you know how to make her bite the bit? If not email me and I'll go in depth on it.
What fo you mean by dragging herself along with her shoulders?
i'm not sure of what you mean either.
you dont know horses ,,,,,,,,,, give her shoulders a massage .......... and if you know sugar cane's gum (choclate like) take that and create a syruo of that gup and give that to your house ........... that will be all rigt.............. take care of your horse
