I have a mini that KNOWS the word whoa!!!! He stands for halter, he's been trained for cart and I bought him last July. But, since I've had him he won't whoa or stand still in his harness.
I've tried ground driving him and he turns to the left but he won't whoa. I've tried putting him up to the fence to face him forward to stop him but he turns away from it and won't go up to it. I have put him in a corner and he dances all over the place, he shifts from foot to foot and tries to back up, turn left, turn right, anything but not whoa or stand.
I have put him in his cart and he whoa's for about 2 sec's when headed to the barn for me to get out. Other then that he won't whoa or stand. I tried a header and he turns his back to him and faces the other way and then walks away he won't stand for that either.
I just talked to his trainer who trained him and she said to put him in a corner w/ his cart. Well I tried that but he won't go in a corner I can't EVEN get near a corner I go that way and he deflects it. She said to try a treat in the headers hand but he won't get w/in 4-5 ft of a header.
He stands perfectly for halter, when I lunge him free- I say whoa he whoa's.
He gets VERY nervous in the cart like he doesn't know what I want and gets all antsy, slobbers all over the place. I'm just ready to give up. Any advice would be helpful thanks.
