BK :>And with CJ if you let her keep her head high... she gets
BK :>very high and spooky.. Tush shows signs of being somewhat
BK :>the same. So I want her to get out of the habit of needing
BK :>to have her head up before it becomes a serious habit. I
BK :>think even Tellington mentions this somewhere.. Aside from
BK :>being important to showing.. shrug.
I guess that makes sense.....if a horse's head is up, it means their back is
not rounded or relaxed. I suppose you could say that you're training her to
"relax" under saddle. Probably better to teach her the correct thing than to
have to undo a bad habit later on. Just a little concerned that all those
baby bones and muscles might not be ready for the strain...except it sounds
like you're going real easy with this. (And, I forget she's not a real baby
anymore!)
My friend is considering showing her yearling in lunge classes. Isn't this
something new in the QH world?
