So I recently bought an 8yr gelding to train in jumping and he can jump but every time we go into the canter he kicks out his right hind leg. Sometimes he does it in a trot but normally just the canter. Yesterday I rode him western and he did amazing and went into the canter very smoothly and only kicked out once. Could it have to do with English? He also like to go fast but it’s hard to get him to slow down no matter how hard you pull he does not stop until he wants to. I have him in a snaffle any suggestions on what to do with either of this problems? He was just pastured before I got him and he was never ridden.
