Ok, this may sound crazy but one of my horses tries too hard! He learns something and is very easy to teach but he tries too hard, for example he has just learnt half pass and is showing that he has a natural talent at it, however, he tries to do it all the time! Its the same with other lateral work, when I correct him he gets very offended and has a tantrum. He's a sensitive horse and I'm wondering if it's me over correcting him? When I half halt a little strongly he has a tanty too, my trainer who is a Grand Prix international level dressage rider really likes him, horses like him are very easy to teach and are very spunky. When I first warm him up he also likes to work in a very deep frame and if I let him for the first 10 or 15 minutes hes always a star, if I dont he can be very tense through his back and he naturally has a high/uphill head carrage/movement. Because of this he can be a very tense horse.
Does anyone have any ideas?Is it just me over correcting? I hope all this has made sense.
P.s Sorry if this is in the wrong area.
