Anyone who has read the hacking thread will know that I now and again have a napping issue with Marley. Most of the time Marley is very good but now and again he goes through a phase were he doesn't want to go out for a hack. He will leave the yard, stable area but as soon as we get near the gate out on to the road he starts backing up etc. I have tried the hard, strict approach and the soft patient approach, the latter seems to work better as we don't have the bucking and spinning to try and go back. Once he is out of the actual gate he is 9 out of ten times fine, the other time he may drag his heels for about half a mile So i have decided to brave it and put a video on of me and him while he has been in a napping mood, this was just on thursday past. I would appreciate any feed back good or bad... oh and yes when we have company he never does it but that isnt always an option for us..
