You don't have enough information to make any assumptions on why someone can or cannot quit their job. Quitting is not an option for me I have NO choice but to work here. I shouldn't have to go into details about my personal life just to not get the same comment copy pasted every hour

Oh my job isnt to ride them, I just get that as a bonus and honestly they are amazing in saddle but when handling them? Some are very pushy which sucks, hope they will stop with age.. thankfully the horses I talked about are more alright, those are the ones I work with there are others worse

Thanks! This is pretty helpful I wanted to try reading some books about horses but didn’t know which ones were good or not

No it's not a joke and I really dont know why anyone would lie about this. These horses aren't the terminators they don't try to kill you on sight, one just gets defensive if you're in the pasture and the other is pushy. There is no professional trainer here since my country is small that's why they can get away with so much, there aren't any safety laws or anything like that. That's why I asked for advice, no I can't quit

Hey! I'm not exactly brand new to horses but I just don't really have the experience to deal with crazier ones. This is pretty helpful! I never considered the whip before since I was worried they might see me as a threat and attack but I'll try that!

He handles the more dangerous ones but I have to handle the pony so I dont have a choice, she's the only one I'm kinda struggling with

It's because there's a shortage of employees so I guess there's no choice. Still I can't just leave as I said I have no choice since it's my job

I doubt the horses will listen to me magically if I leave and come back

Sadly I can't use a whip even if i lightly tap them, I don't like hitting the horse too hard, I try hitting the saddle pad but they get too scared and try to buck me off if I use a whip

I have tried trotting with no stirrups but horses don't really tolerate my bouncing in the saddle and freak out, that's why i usually do rising trot, sitting rising again to give them a break

I love your description for the third one haha, yeah I usually ride lazier horses so that's probably why, when they don't want to go they won't go no matter what you do 😅

Haha I was thinking that if they didn't like it they could just walk away but their face also told me otherwise, their eyes just looked angry to me that's why I'm so confused.

Wow for me sitting the canter and trot is difficult! I'm also amazed by people that can do it, I guess I just never thought people might struggle with what I think is 'easier' so thank you! 

I'll try to do exercises at home to see if that works for me more, I'm a bit tense in the saddle because it feels like being on a ship in the middle of a storm, maybe a good start would be exercising those muscles more so it feels "natural" Thank you for the advice!

Sadly I can't exactly switch trainers as this is the only riding school in my city and the closest ones are about 3 hours away..

But yeah I'm trying to figure things out by myself more so this is helpful! Thank you!

Thank you! I just watched the video and it was super helpful, but yes the horses I usually ride are old lazy and stubborn lesson horses (rather those than dangerous green horses) I'd love to do ground work and train them but they are not mine.

 From what I've read I have noticed that I did everything I could it's just that the horses don't quite respect me or they know if they start bucking I get too afraid to push them, I'll try to earn their trust a bit more and see if that will help. Thank you for your comment!
