Adding Vertical Flexion to Bend

By LES VOGT - Horsetrader columnist - September 20th, 2012

28th in a series
As Les continues his lessons on vertical flexion this issue, we see the steps in sharper detail.

Since in last lesson’s exercises we asked you to be conscious of the horse’s nose getting too far out in a turn, this exercise shouldn’t be new to you. But before, you only used the outside rein to correct problems; here I want you to use the outside rein consciously, as you ask the horse to really break at the poll and bring his nose toward his chest from the lateral flexion position.
