[horsegirl555100]

@Footphobics01 i steer with reins but my instucter tells me to steer mostly with legs too so maybe you kick him too hard. you might want to kick him very gently.

okay i have a problem. i love riding and i just started riding this really sensative horse. I ride english, and the horse is menat to be steered with the legs. whenever im in a trot, i tell the horse to go to the outside by pushing in with my inside leg. but whenever i do this the horse speeds p. i pull back a little, but then the horse doesn't listen

HELP any advice is welcome :)
