#ed_op#span class="postbody"#ed_cl#I need help to explain the right feel to
astudent of mine who mistakes avoiding the contact (thus having a
lightrein on a pretty but thollow/behind the bit horse) with
suppleness/connection (horse#ed_op#br#ed_cl#pushing through to the bit, and carrying himself from back to front).#ed_op#br#ed_cl#When they work in a nice rythm, forward from her leg and over his back#ed_op#br#ed_cl#and through, on a shorter (not short) rein, she is always feeling like#ed_op#br#ed_cl#he's heavy, obwohl the contact she shows me when I take the other end of#ed_op#br#ed_cl#the reins is stillfairly light (about a pound max). She rides other#ed_op#br#ed_cl#horses without falling in the same mistake, but those are confirmed in#ed_op#br#ed_cl#their trainingscale, while her horse is still fairly green.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Please, any idea, advice, experience welcome..#ed_op#/span#ed_cl#
