Head Twisting While Leading
Posted in Training on Feb 26th, 2008 No Comments »
Question: I have owned an Irish Draught x Thoroughbred for about 4 months. He is 6 years old and apart from being broken had done nothing except hack out. I am bringing him on slowly and he is doing well on the flat and over fences. He sees to have developed an unusual habit in that when I lead in him from the field he walks alongside you with his neck twisted with his left eye facing skywards and his right eye facing the ground. At first I thought he was frisking my pockets for treats but this is not the case! He seems very happy in his work and that he is doing something - but what is this behaviour?
