You need to have a confident rider work with the horse. I know often beginner riders will try to work with these horses but admit your lack of experience and the fear you may feel riding this problem and don't compound it by allowing it to happed repeatedly.
Catch it and stop it the first time it happens. Review what you were working on or what in the environment frightened the horse. If the horse is just very young and inexperienced. I suggest you ride in the arena with another rider on an older quiet horse. Also review other problems that could cause this behavior, what the horse is being fed, saddle fit, sloppy rider, etc.
Everyone is eager to ride and wants to start there babies early. Here is what I strongly suggest you do. Have your vet out to look at your horse. Have the horses legs joints examined to see if the joints are closed and done with there serious growing. If the joints are still wide open you can cause permanent damage to your horses by starting too early even just longing! If you scare them at a young age it can add serious repercussions to later training.
Most Friesians are lightly started at 3 and do not do serious training until age 4. Most Friesians do not reach their full height until they are 8 years of age. It is therefore important not to start your Friesian too early.
Friesians are normally started lightly under saddle at age three and begin serious training at age four. Developing, when training you Friesian for dressage it is very important not to skip the long and low stretching of the head and neck.
Friesians need that to develop their back muscles. Naturally, it is very easy for them to be collected, but riding collected from the start can lead to a stiff hollow back. In today's world those types have become mixed so every horse is very different. I myself categorize them into two types: 1 The riding horse 2 The driving horse. Type number one, the riding horse, displays these attributes: medium to short back, slanted crop with the crop being also lower than the shoulders, a lower neck set, a nice long stride and a natural canter when free.
Type number two, the driving horse, has these attributes: longer back, very upright neck set, sharper angle in the shoulder a high snapping step and a natural trot with almost no canter when free. I am by no means saying that type one cannot be a driving horse and vice versa. However, this is just a basic guideline to consider when you're looking to purchase a horse.
Regardless of points earned Overseas, this is very important. If you can't see the horse in person have a trainer or knowledgeable friend watch and review video footage with you, pay close attending to training and review what the horse is shown as knowing.
There are allot of Friesians out there to choose from. Often Horses in Europe are not keep up on things like worming, and vitamins etc. If its a mare have a reproduction check and a culture taken. A horse that has been worked or is tacked up and ready when I arrive it always a red flag to me. If you don't care to keep your horses insured at least have them insured in your name until they arrive safely at your property. During the history of the Friesian horse breeding, they were never bred with jumping in mind.
The angles and weight bearing in the shoulder and neck make them unsuitable for jumping. Some owners jump their Friesians for fun, but constant jump training would put and excess amount of pressure on the fetlock and hock joints. Understand your horse's workload, and decide whether it is involved in light, medium or hard work. If it is not working, you will need to feed a maintenance diet of per cent fibre forage feed, such as grass, hay and unmolassed sugar beet. If it has light work, its feed requirement is 10 to 20 per cent concentrates, such as grains and fats; medium work requires about 30 per cent concentrates; and feed up to 40 per cent concentrates if it is involved in hard work.
Friesians do not need large amounts of grain or protein, as forage makes up the majority of their diet. Include a vitamin and mineral supplement, or a feed balancer containing all the essential minerals. In particular, ensure your horse is receiving adequate amounts of copper, as a deficiency in this mineral can lead to its coat turning red and orange.
Feed your Friesian a good source of fat, such as flaxseed oil, to keep its coat shiny and glossy. Friesian horses have delayed maturity in growth and development like they are 2 years behind in comparison with other horse breeds.
This means a 4-year old Friesian horse is equivalent to having a 2-year old horse of other breeds. So, make sure that training them will follow a step-by-step process at the right timing.
Take into consideration that they should not be pushed beyond their limits or this will backfire on you at a later time. Patience waiting for the right time and age for them to be trained is best. Since they are smart and easy to learn by nature, you can trust that they can cope up with other horses trained earlier than they have. May 5, June 2, October 29,
