Love the stretchy walk! Looks as if he's well engaged. Nice job.
I also love the stretchy trot, but one of my friends insists a judge told her the horse's nose should not drop below the chest on this movement. Otherwise, he's on his forehand.
I disagree. IF the horse goes "all the way to the ground" with a truly round back and hind end engaged, that is a true stretch down. I think Riley's looks really, really good. Nice to see such lovely relaxation. Now, in the walk photo, you need to relax too. *S*

Correct Connect helps you develop better contact with your horse. The reins/gloves were developed by Olympic eventer Jill Hennenberg and endorsed by recognized trainers. Read about them!
