  • If Im right, If a rider leans on a horses mouth, horse leans on riders hands when ridden & maybe pulls like steam train,or head-shakes,showjumping or eventing & others where afraid to let go a bit without give & take release may take off. or when standing quietly observe when at horse shows a rider may have finished their ride standing mounted, unmounted & watching other still going, unaware they're gripping on their horses mouth instead of giving them a release of looseness to relax.

  • true

  • Mr. HP, any chance you could discuss "positive contact" to encouraging self-carriage? How do you differentiate that contact with the contact that encourages that terrible head up, ewe neck posture? Yes, I am a loose rein rider who asks for limited bit contact, so very little experience in this area. One of my horses is a standardbred cross who loves that position and panics at bit contact, so I'm always looking for ways to help my boy out. Love your videos, always wishing for new ones!

  • This would be the most extensive and the most mis-understood subject in the Horse Industry. Mainly caused by Professionals with their touchy feely, motherhood, tree hugging, use of buzz words and with the eye on video or book sales rather than telling it like it is. I have been working on a 5 hour dvd's set on the subject for 12 months now and am finding it difficult to finish. Called 'Re-Mouthing the Horse'

  • my TWH loves throwing his head foward and yanking the reins out of my hands. no, you don't understand, he LOVES it. :D

  • lol

  • This is exactly what I see all the time when I'm out riding or in the lesson. Its almost like the riders don't trust there horses (probably because there not well trained, typical BHS trained horses hehe) so they insist on holding on because they feel safer, ugh it really pisses me off so I always ride in a loopy rein, never a contact rein unless in the lessons.

  • .or other problems like bad teeth or a bad saddle fit could be hollow back strong neck muscle back discomfort rider education or various other problems.

  • my horse leans on the when I ask him to trot can you help me

  • I ride western and since one of my boys has a hard mouth and the other has a soft, it differs. I do polebending on both. Depends on horse's personality, really.

  • I'm not surprised to hear that it's such a complicated issue. Once the damage is done, it becomes a compounded problem. I'll keep my eye on your YouTube posts. Will you let us know when your video is available? Thanks.

  • good one sass
