Percheron as First Lesson Horse

1797 Views 7 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  QtrBel
I have developed a heavy hand from my first lesson horse .A percheron mare she was slow sluggish and unresponsive to my body movement . I am now taking lessons on a buckskin mare that is a bit more responsive to my movements in the saddle. I feel that the percheron may have not been a good first lesson horse and that I should of started on the mare I ride now. I love horses and my riding. I just want to see if I was started in the right direction. My goal is to use my horseback riding on my ranch and raise my own horses. Any advice is welcome thanks.

I agree with the above statement. I'm a beginner so I haven't rode anything but the quiet beginner horses. I keep telling myself that if I can get these guys to move, when I graduate to the more advanced horses, I'll have no problem! Lol

The horse I rode in my last lesson would literally walk right into the corner of the arena and stop if I didn't tell him to turn correctly. At first it was really frustrating, but by the end of that lesson, my turning really improved. I had gotten so used to my usual lesson horse who would just follow the rail around regardless if you told him to turn or not.
