great tip indigo - mine is the same and so i usually just turn her to look at things but i think riding past it and then following it is a fab idea x

I think you did very well indeed. Agree with all that Riff says. Put it down to a bad day with a good rider.

Your welcome lol, I used to ride a little Arab stallion who was both spooky and an ex racer, so things slowly slowly catching up with him, like walkers, bikes, even tractors used to drive him to distraction! We would always turn round, go past and then follow whatever it was, it meant much less time jogging and snorting and in the long run really helped his confidence as he started to believe he was chasing all these things away ha ha!

I followed your advice in the safety of the school yesterday - he spooked at a loose leaf (lol yes i know ) but instead of just ignoring it and carrying i immediateley circled him to go past the evil loose leaf again - it worked!!!! No problems at all, he did not spook this time!
