I /am of the opinion that a virgin stallion should be backed , ie saddle trained first rather than bred first then trained to ride, also just ground trained period! Thoughts? Thank you for opinions
Hi I have a 3 year old Irish Draught stallion who I am in the process of backing. He has not covered any mares yet because he will have to be graded next year to qualify as RID. My problem is that he long reins beautifully at the walk but when asked to trot on the lunge he explodes with bronco type bucks. I have been lunging and longreining now for at least 2 months and he is not improving in the cold backed area. Any suggestions please?
