Great advice. I have a 16 yr old Arab mare who I have been riding for 6 years. She can be soft and supple at a walk and trot but is like trying to turn or stop a freight train at a gallop. Only 1/2 as bad at a slow lope. I am using a Hank bit and german martingale on her to tune her up, ususally use a mild curb. Do you have any other suggestions. The tough turns. super reluctant stops and head shaking have gotten worse this year. Possibly because she had most of it off due to foaling.
@cornye2993 I will be putting a video that might help you , not sure when but in the next couple of weeks. First thing I think of is have had her teeth checked.
