I think Emma may have hit the nail on the head with her suggestion that Bridget is expressing a lack of confidence with her sticky go button off-property. She may just be a thinker who needs more miles?

Before I could stop myself I said 'but ponies are EVIL'. :)<br /><br />TeresaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311118900077951863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-50934743939528078792017-03-27T14:07:34.172-07:002017-03-27T14:07:34.172-07:00That idea has been in the back of my brain for a w...That idea has been in the back of my brain for a while. Sensible horses like ours like to take time to think things through rather than reacting/acting...so yeah, could easily be a confidence and miles thing.

In better news, 2 years later we've gone from can't move at all ever, to an average 5 minute or so check in at the beginning of the ride. Off property though, all bets are off :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-79425798198299031512017-03-27T08:42:53.294-07:002017-03-27T08:42:53.294-07:00Awesome that you were able to get B going despite ...Awesome that you were able to get B going despite the pony-ness and get a win out of it!! My guy can be less motivated off property too. Idk why. Maybe a weirdly presenting confidence issue? Idk.

It is always nice to have a non-spooky pony. I feel you on the hard work of forward though, when I ride Henry I am exhausted and so sweaty... I almost always nap afterwards.

This is exactly what Savvy does approaching anything new (i.e. learning haunches in or approaching a dreaded grid) and no amount of leg/crop/flappy arms/cursing will get her forward. Once she has a chance to figure out her feet then she is forward again. It really sucks. I am thinking of buying spurs (but I bet she will just buck like a lipizzaner on the spot and still not go forward!) If you find a cure, please pass it on to me!LandofWOZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518323270325094244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-16693709891860047412017-03-27T05:50:34.213-07:002017-03-27T05:50:34.213-07:00Ugh, schooling the go button is my least favorite ...Ugh, schooling the go button is my least favorite activity... but you can't get anything done without it.
