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?
