Well - within a few days Garbo has caprioled 5 times over two rides.
Ride 1 - bit, on track, out, relaxed rein, with Maraschino
Ride 2 - from home down paper road, in hackamore, no bit, on his own, loose rein
so - as you can see - nothing was in common with each other to cause it.
Ride 1, I was totally relaxed. Totally came out of nowhere and was fine again seconds later as if it never happened.
Ride 2 not as much. ;-) Neither was he.
On the paper road he did it 3 times then I got off.
I asked my friend to ride him two days later and she's a really good rider. He did it to her too and she said it was a spook - just a high spirited one lol. So she rode him really forward and half halted him - slight partial disengagement when she could tell he was thinking up things to do. He went really well after that.
Only thing I have changed is his chaff so I am going to cut that out from tomorrow.
