Hi there, I have recently taken on a 10 year old Palamino on shared loan. If I take him out on a hack he only knows how to go from walk to flat out gallop and gets very agitated when I get him to walk in areas where he is used to going fast. I have been trying to do lots in the school with him to get him used to me but he is similar in the school in that he is fine in walk but as soon as you ask him to go any faster such as a trot or canter he just bombs round the school at 100 miles an hour. Does anyone have any advice as I am starting to worry about taking him out on hacks as he just tries to bomb off everywhere. Any tips on how to steady him up in the school also? It seems he has too much energy and needs to burn off steam everytime he gets ridden but not in a safe manner. Help!
