that again makes sense, I have nothing do to with dressage, or jumping. I am into the APHA/AQHA stuff. I do ride english in Hunter under saddle, but that is far from dressage.
She has been taught this by a reputable dressage instructor and…

that does make sense aswell..This horse is abused though..and has learned harsh work on the mouth and "contact" as a punishment..to my knowledge..so giving him the release does seem to work for him..

I was just introduced to dressage about a year ago, and have started getting into it and am interested in improving the multiple things I know I'm doing wrong! Under a few different instructors, I was under the impression I needed to keep a firm contact with my outside rein and a slightly opening feel with the inside rein, giving multiple half halts with my outside rein as necessary to get the horse's head to come down. Plus a good forward gait to move the horse into your hands, it basically…See More
