I am leasing a very lovely, sound, gelding from the stable I ride at. He's about 11 years old, and was used as a schooling horse at what I like to call a "lesson factory" for a number of years before coming to the barn I ride at. He was ridden 5 days a week by children of all sorts of disciplines from beginner to advanced, and therefore he is just all over the place with his training.
He is, of course, very lazy and does not like to get moving forward at all, but after working with him on that for a while he is doing a fine job. My question is-what are some exercises I can do with him to get him working from behind? He is only ridden by one other girl in a lesson once a week, and I'm the only one riding him 4 other days out of the week.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
