While he had always “looked the part” with a pretty arched neck and willing execution of various dressage exercises, he always seemed to be “posing” rather than having flow to his movement. When I began to ride him in the bitless halter he soon discovered the freedom of expressing his energy while still responding to subtle aids. Thank you Karen!
