I was finally able to upload the pic. Here's Moshi starting the stretchy circle. I gave the connecting aids (as described in another post) before opening my fingers. He's starting to stretch forward, down, and out. As I allow him to chew the reins out of my hands, he'll continue to stretch more, open his throatlatch to a greater degree, and have the look and feel of seeking the bit.
