When I came back from the Gina Smith clinic, I wanted to try a couple "new" things with Major. At the clinic, Gina would tell the rider to supple the horse. They would do this by turning the horse's head to the inside and then to the outside. I didn't notice any difference to the horse, but the rider probably felt it.
<br />
<br />Anyways, I tried this yesterday, near the end of our workout. I had Major on the bit and flexed him to the right and then to the left. When I released him, he was very light and not on the forehand! We got some nice steps out of him!
<br />
<br />Just wondering is this a good thing to use? How often should I use it? And when during a training session should I use it???
<br />
<br />Thanks!!
