My horse is 15.2 acts like a really naught pony...he really does drag me off his back when it suits. Will be going just fine then all of a sudden boom slams his head down and drops his shoulder! I'm on the floor! Today is the last straw I've had enough of it. So I was thinking would a daisy rein stop him from doing this? Also is it possible to jump in a daisy rein?
Thanks in advance for any help :-)
Just to clarify this horse has everything up to date. Teeth physio saddle fitting :-) sound as a pound with an attitude problem x

Does he do this with other riders?
No it is not possible to jump in a daisy rein.
I would advise you to have some lessons, esp on the lunge to improve your possition and strengthen your inner core. You need to deal with the problem rather than hide it behind a gadget. However in the mean time try using a bungie , this is a stretchty length of rubber that goes over the poll, down through the bit and in your case go to the D rings on your saddle. You do need to sort out this problem, this is just so you are safe while improving things.
I would ask is this the horse for you? This is a really naughty evassion and can lead to a serious injury. It sounds like he needs re-schooling by a strong, experienced rider. No offence to you.

I have had him for four years I have lessons every week and he does it to almost everyone who gets on him. I have had serious injury from him doing such a thing. Won't use a bungee.... Don't like them the who idea is to stop his head going down. He gets schooled by a very good strong rider who can sit the unbalancing dropped shoulder and can not be pulled off.
He can work in a perfect outline (when it suits) schooling is getting better but can be a bit of a tit (he's very immature for his age) when u ask for that little bit more then he's willing to give this is when we have a problem.
I'm at my wits end with him. And I will not sell him trying to find an aid that will help me not hide the problem but to help me sort it out.

The reason I suggested a bungie is that it is one of the few aids that a horse cannot lean on , nearly everything else is fixed and usually leads to being on the forehand which is not what you want. It depends on how it is fitted has to how it works.
You need a soft version of a driving "bearing rein" that will stop him putting his head down. What has your trainer advised? I hope you wear all safety wear, such as a body protector, gloves and obviously a hat.
good luck, if you find something that works do let us know x
