[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 413964, member: 1963"] Jena, part of the problem might be that you are kicking him. Many horses are trained to go forward from calf pressure, not being kicked. Also, if you were nervous because of the size of the horse, you might've been subconsciously clenching your hands. Even if you don't actually tighten down on the reins, a sensitive horse will pick up on the tension and respond to it. on the other hand, it's possible this beast might require a tap or two of a riding crop just behind the girth to shake him up and move him out.
