@TheEquineEquation I never said it was for"setting"the horse's head.Yeah it is to prevent the horse for throwing their head up and hitting us,your definitely correct on that,but I was just saying that horses usually like to be silly or they just like to bring their head down while they have a martingale like that on them.Obviously no horse in jumper rings have their head tucked like that for the whole ride.lol,I'm not stupid.
Exactly,it's a 13sec vid so stop making a big deal.

@BerrySwingingJumper Martingales are not for "setting" a horses head they're for keeping the horse from throwing their head up and running away with you or from hitting you in the head with their head. Having the horses head that low takes away allot of control & maneuverability from the rider. I don't know about you, but when i do a jumper course i like my horse to see where he is going and where his feet are. LOL from a 13 second video we really can't tell what is going on.

Horse's need a strong leader, not a rough and tough leader if you can't see whats wrong in this vid then you are clueless about horses

Did anyone think this might be the end of the round and the person is just pulling the horse up - in affect the horse is avoiding the bit and going behind the vertical :P My pony would do this in cross country

i like his head position:)

@TheEquineEquation The heads behind the vertical?The horse is wearing a running martingale,it's suppose to put the animals head down by putting pressure on the bit.The horse is probably just doing a couple of strides with their head like that,then when they start doing jumper courses the rider gives them a little bit of slack. This video is just the effect of the martingale, and the rider know what their doing.

@BerrySwingingJumper The horses head is behind the vertical. This is an incorrect head position caused by the rider which can lead to stress fractures in the neck. If you look in the rule book for pretty much any English show the poll (bone on the top of the head) should be the highest point of the body. although exact position varies from horse to horse depending on their conformation.
The snaffle bit is not bad when used propperly, classicaly... But this rider and his hands are the ones to be blamed!!!

Yeah, I see it. It's called 'rider error' not horse abuse.
