Part 2: Foundations for correct flying changes with Conrad Schumacher

That isn't an outline, that horse is clearly behind the bit. There's no need for that..

@iStillRunDeep then every succesful dressage horse in the world is behind the bit. These are very talented horses and riders

I feel sorry for these horses... they are forced to keep their chin practicly to their chests, I'm sure that hurts their mouths!!

@HorseGurl1996 It's called working in an outline and a correctly trained horse.

@naggydu02 well excuse me!!

@HorseGurl1996 I apologize for people answering your comment rudely, but in case you were wondering, he is correct, and it depends on where you practice riding, or train. I've called it working on the bit for my entire life, and my coaches use that term as well, some use wrking on an outline. This is fine for horses and barely pulls on their mouths. It engages their hindquarters(backlegs) and helps them stay balanced and collected, some horses will naturally do this, with or without bridle.
