I sent my 3 yr old stallion to another farm to be started under saddle. After 60 days of training
I realized they were not the talented professionals that I had expected. My young horse was ridden very high and tight in the neck with big spurs. Now his stride is very, very short and it feels like his back is broken behind the saddle. I cannot get any stretching of the neck except
at the walk. When I ask for trot the horse raises his head up high and drops the back. I have tried lunging with long low sidereins but the same thing happens. Does anyone have some suggestions to fix my "upside down" horse?
