You cant rides right

Answer 2

well i would start with walking a set of barrels and rite wen u arre next to the barrel u should "check her" which means to drop ur outside rein and neck rein her(bump) around it. after u come off the barrel do the same thing to the 2nd and the 3rd. only do like a couple sets a day, and go for a nice trail ride. each day dont overwork her but progressively get faster for each set

Answer 3

When you are practicing with your horse, try walking the patterns and slowly working up to a slow canter, but never run your horse in practice. By starting slow like this it will help her turn better.

Also if she won't turn, it may be because of her teeth bugging her.  Or you could try giving her a little half halt before you want her to turn and stop.

Answer 4

Do you mean problem? If you are old enough to take care of a horse, you should also be old enough to know you do not spell things according to your accent.

I am no horse expert, but I can recommend going to any search engine like Yahoo! or Google and type in "how to care for horses"

Answer 5

How old is your horse? that often affects his or her agility. If age has nothing to do with it, then, maybe you should consider giving her a break from work,. The horse will benefit from the time off, and may respond better to your leg aids after having some time to chill out and relax. IF all else fails, then consider sending her to a trainer, or have your riding instructor asses the problem.

Bets of luck,
