Hi all a little advise please, I put a post up about my yearling biting, well he has been gelded and he is a lot better, it's just the old nip now and again, I can work on that. Now we have the problem with him walking on. This is happening all the time when I'm bring him in from the field. If there is anybody else with me this isn't a problem, it's when I'm by myself, which is 99 percent of the time.
In the school no problem, he will walk on even trot in hand. I've had him lunging a couple of mins on each side, and he his doing really well, I just can't get him from the field to the stable block to groom him without a fight. I've used a schooling whip and now I'm on to the lung whip just to tickle his bum with the end of it because it's longer. ( I don't use the string on the end, I hold that bit at the top on my hand ). He is very stubbon, he will rather go backwards into what ever is there then go forwards. He goes forward for a few strides then digs his heels in and won't go anywhere but back. Help I'm finding frustrating.
