I zm a newbie to the group and I am so pleased I have found you all. I have been loaning my beautiful girl for 2 years, i returned to riding after 30 odd years.
My issue is I really really REALLY want to canter but I'm scared, my mare is quite lazy and doesn't pick her feet up properly so trips a helluva lot. My farrier has just put different shoes on and shortened her hooves to see if that works. I think that's why I am afraid. What if I get her to canter and she trips what if this what if that!!!!! I think I may not be able to stop her. Any advice or ideas very welcome. TIA
