this is a beautiful creature. the two of you are lovely working pair. May I ask his breeding? The only advice/commentary you should listen to is that between you and your trainer. It's called training for a reason.

@Equiart Pat him!

@ChicagoJazz10 Well actually no the horse is not being worked perfectly. The horse is often poll low and or behind the vertical. The rider is riding from front to back instead of from back to front. If the rider were to put her leg on and ask the horse to engage it's hind end. That would allow the horse to take it's weight to it's haunches. When the horse is in correct balance it can slow down and reach forward to the bridle.

yea just keep any eye on your horse doesnt bend over the bit and past the vertical line :)

horse below vertical ??? why ??? hand punitive not giving why ?

I've just read some of the rubbish comments here... I have to say, you ride with soft aids and he's a lovely horse. And I always give a quick touch on the neck for something done well. It's so important to let the horse know that he's done good.

shouldn't be holding him up with the hand anyway--a pat shouldn't matter in keeping the horse uphill. simply uncurling the hand and bringing the elbows back to your side, especially the inside hand when tracking right, should loosen him up. then you can pat:)
i have the same issue, btw. it is a hard habit to break.

This horse is working PERFECTLY! Its not downhill, and she isnt pulling him at all

Gosh how tight are you pulling on that horses head
Thanks, 1paulamanthei1 He is a Dutch Warmblood by Flemmingh. I sold him to a wonderful home with a woman in New York, and he does winters in Florida. He has a good life!

Looks behind the vertical, tight upper crest, and downhill. Lighter hands and seat would help your horse; when you reward him with a pat, that puts more weight on his front end and makes it even harder for him to move correctly.

So how would you reward the horse?
