Looking for advice on what to do next, sorry for the length!! So I have a 9year old thoroughbred, in the school he?s perfect, he used to be perfect hacking. A while a go on a hack he flat out blind bolted the whole way home (his first time doing this), leaving me at the side of the road with a torn ligament. We still have no idea what caused it, but since this day he took off a couple more times. So we have had lessons in the school, gone right back to basics, transitions ect. He?s perfect in the school and hacking out in walk and trot (he now has a Waterford in), but the second we ask for a canter whilst out he bolts, and it?s becoming down right dangerous. He?s not in pain, he isn?t fresh as he is worked everyday, we?ve tried working him down to the ground and THEN going out for a canter but he still goes. I have no idea what to do now and it just seems we go one step forward and 2 steps back.It just seems like he can?t handle it, he canters in the school perfect. we do manage to go a couple of times cantering out and he?s amazing, but then from no where off he goes again. I?m at a loss.
