Reverse Vault - Instead of vaulting over a railing with a monkey vault, which may be the most efficient way, the athlete adds a 360 degree spin along the horizontal axis to make the movement more aesthetically pleasing, as well as increasing their coordination.

Pytanie: What could be the problem with this pony pinning her ears back, and how can I solve it?

( Wstecz )

Answer #1:

tell her no

Answer #2:

Simple. She is tense. My mare does this occasionaly. you need to really relax her. I'm guessing she needs quiet hands?

Answer #3:

she 's hurting somewhere and it doesn't bother her at a walk take her slowly through her paces and watch carefully for the change, if you can pinpoint it you can fix it but you have to stay alert to everything she is doing

Answer #4:

It sounds like a mare problem. Al mares do this at one point or another in their life. Also you might not have enough leg or a straight rein. She's trying to tell you something. She's a mare. Mare's are b****** sometimes. Also relax and don't tense up. She can sense your feelings and she knows if your tense or nervous or anything else.

Answer #5:

Maybe she's not using herself properly? It sounds like she might be hollowing out while cantering and jumping which would be very uncomfortable. Make sure she's really using her hind end; it's not about speed, it's about impulsion. It sounds like maybe she's figured out how to use herself properly at the trot, but perhaps not at the canter.

There's also the unfortunate possibility that she's just going to be like that. Some ponies always go around their courses or flat classes with their ears pinned back, it's just how they are. My one pony pins his ears on the short ends and then they go forward once he gets his eye on the jump.

Then there's the mare factor. Is she in season? Some mares can be very different under saddle when they're in season versus when they're not.

Answer #6:

My horse used to throw her head up in the air with her ears flat back when she was worried and tense. I suggest just reassuring her. My horse used to buck and leap when i asked for canter and I got her checked by a vet and she was completely fine so I was told just to keep her going forward and when she stops the bucking or leaping, reward her and luckily it has worked and she no longer does it. I have also found that when my horse gets really tense, talking to her in a confident yet still quiet voice and it helps. Good luck.

Answer #7:

You didn't say how long you have known her?/ Has she done that for a long time and is it getting worse?/ If she is not hurting anywhere, I would think she is just being nasty.

Maybe for a while you should just work on getting her to relax and float through the reins. Use leg or spur if you have to if she drifts at all. If someone rides past you and she pins her ears, Kick her hard and spin her a couple times, let her relax and settle and walk her off. quietly. I wouold think if you did that whenever she did it she would soon decide it was not a good thing to do. work on some relaxed trots, Just forget about the jumps till you can get her to quit being nasty.
