Just bought a gorgeous little NFxTB unbroken 3yo yesterday from someone up in Hampshire. Has such a wonderful temperament and will hopefully be really good for my younger sister when I've finished. ❤
Well, what I mean is, is that you don't constantly do all those things. After the horse had excepted the bit, you reward them by stopping the action you've been using. :)
This is an area I like to cover, :)
Best ways:
- Jiggle (GENTLY) the reins.
- Sponge.
- Thumbs on top, tilt your hands.
However, the pony MUST be going foward first! :)
