Hey,
i've got a gelding i've been training for a while and he wants to carry his nose in the sky i hate to have lots of contact with him in a western saddle but i'm constantly asking him with pressure of my legs and the reins to bring his head in and english he looks incredible BUT my arms are about dead at the end of a show any sugestions ??

Were not aloud to use tie downs because when we show we can't take them with us so it wouldn't work once it was taken off we switched his bit from a snaffle to a 3 peice snaffle and hes never carried his head lower hes round collected and moves off his hind now..
I did some research before putting him on this bit making sure it wouldn't harm him in any such way.
And he is SO i can't over emphasize enough how relaxed he is now..
I went to a horse show i went to last year after changing his bit and the judges, and all parents couldn't belive the improvment with his head.
