Hey All, So I got what I thought was my dream horse. Tried her a couple times, she worked beautifully at her barn, knowing she needed some minimal updates. Got her home and she’s a totally different horse. She’s confused with her aids, she’s throwing her shoulder out, not bending, her canter is...

My horse is a 5 year old off the track now never raced but was trained, and is thought to be abused. At the beginning of the summer we were able to teach him his right lead and he had it for a while but due to getting quarantined we stopped working on it. Once we came back and asked him for it...
