Hi i posted a question but was rushed so trying again. I have not ridden for 20 yrs purchased a 6 yo Gelding. Have had him for 3 months. Have had a lessons. I want this horse for pleasure and need some basic advice. He basically could not follow a straight line when i purchased him, so we have been working in a round arena. She has taught me, to make him walk where you want and keep him on the proposed track. Keep your calf muscles, both legs, close to his body at all times, if you want him to veer to the right slightly, tighten the right rein and put more pressure on him with your left calf muscle, this seems to be working ok. Am I doing the right thing, am only at the stage of bringing him back to a slow comfortable trot and keeping him at that for a period of time in an arena so where do i go to from here. I guess we are both back to basics so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
