Thank you, I noted the differences, I appreciate the sharing of this information. I know you took time, prepared your horse, arranged a videographer, noted your voice levels, and made it as clear as possible. Thank you. I have watched this several times.

Definately has helped me and my horse!

Why do you feel it is important to maintain contact with the bit during a free rein walk? I would think you'd want the horse to be at least vertical, if not ahead of, on a very light rein, even one showing a small amount of drape. I heard one comment that it is important to keep the horse's attention, but I find I can do that with a light amount of drape, while still allowing the horse to have the room for head and neck movement.

I think so!!

Until recently, I thought the Poll was just behind the ears. This lady says the Poll should be the highest point, so guess even in the Collected Walk, the Poll must be half way down the neck...maybe I am mistaken???

Is this horse Willow?

Hmm... But what about that terribly low hand and horse's nose still slightly behind the vertical...? It tells about something...

yes it does get your ears checked

this tells you NOTHING about HOW to ride a walk....thanks for nothing
