Jorji is away for breaking - now been away for 7 weeks and has been deemed 'almost unbreakable'
I got an email today and im going to visit him tomorrow but i need ideas now as what on earth can i do next with him!
I've had him since he was just under 4 months old.
I've halter broken him, got him used to EVEYRTHING - Traffic, spooky things, saddles, bridles, everything possible, I lightly backed him last summer - all was ok, he lunges, longreins, freeschools perfectly and the only thing i havent done is break him as I havent the time to break him at the moment with other horses and a full time job.
The yard I've sent him to I trust 110%, they are lovely, and he is cared for wonderfully and on the ground etc he is still as sweet as ever.
At this yard hes even had a dummy on him and he is 100% happy to walk, trot and canter with it on him.
When it comes to riders he is fine for half way around the school and then he just completely bronco's and he is really meaning to get the rider off.
Its been like this now for a couple weeks and the YO's riders are really quite amazing riders and sit the 'hissy fits' of plenty of horses they have/break in, yet 1 rider has been thrown 3 times and lost their nerve to ride him now, hes thrown the YO, and the main trainer of the yard countless amount of times.
Thing is , no hes getting bored of them trying and so now as they are falling hes attempting to double barrell them as they fall.
Yet after they fall , he comes over and is loveable and sweet again, he doesnt go tanking around/bronco-ing after the fall at all.
Hes had a 'backlady' out and she can find nothing wrong, his saddle fits perfectly, and they have tried even a treeless to try, still doing it, they have even tried bareback but all was the same. And the dentist saw him before he left , all was fine.
They had a natural horsemanship person out and they had a huge golf umbrella on him and even that didnt fase him, its litterally just with a rider!
They are lost on what to do now and as imagined the YO is worried for her riders safety now as theres only so many falls you can have without injury.
I am also concerned for their safety and both myself and the YO are baffled and dont know where to go next, I am going up there tomorrow to discuss this with her but i really dont know where to go next
I really need some advice now, I have experience with youngsters but ive never come across this, ive seen some very difficult to break ones but they managed to come through in the end, it seems almost as though hes not going to have any of it
