I have a 9 year old QH gelding that was used for team penning with his previous owners. My problem is that he is VERY heavy on the forehand, and I was wondering if anybody knows of some way that I can correct that. I ride English instead of Western, if that has any relevance. I would really appreciate your imput.

A good dressage instructor can help you get the
horse moveing with his hind end under him more. I
have recently done this with my QH mare who was a
"jack of all trades" western trail horse, she now
is learning basic dressage out of necesity and I
found it was much easier to have an instructor on
the ground to help see the things I could not,
then to practice at home. But the one thing I have
learned is her ability to get off her forehand
goes hand in hand with my ability to have a
correct seat.
Good luck and have patience.

update: I have been working with him, and he seems to be a lot better. I am trotting him over poles to get him to pick up his feet more. Thanks again for the tip! Jill @(*o*)@
