It’s unfortunate and disappointing you picture a horse contracted past verticle in your article, as if this is acceptable or in any way healthy or ok. The damage it does to the cervical vertebrae cannot be overemphasized, as well as affecting breathing, and total body carriage. There is enough solid scientific evidence of the damage caused by this that you should know better.

Have any advice? I ride an EXTREMELY spunky 7yr gelding who refuses to cooperate, he ignores absolutely everything I ask him to do, hes headstrong and yanks me around wherever he wants, I’ve done more than enough groundwork with him, I’ve tried bitless but he REFUSES to cooperate. Had his teeth checked and everything, hes just TRYING To ignore my aids. Any advice? Thanks! Been riding him in a standard full cheek snaffle.
