I was working with Jackson on the lunge line to get him to lift the base of his neck. I did this by endo tapping his belly in time with his inside front leg. I would tap just as it was about to lift up. When I saw him lift the base of his neck, I would click and reward.
Then I would just ask him to trot and if he offered to lift the base of his neck, I would click and reward. Therefore encouraging him to lift his neck on his own.
Jackson also bowed with me on him. This is only the second time he has ever done it with a rider!
