Has anyone got any pis of their Arabs working in an outline at different paces. I know it's about getting her to work through her back properly etc, but just wanted an idea of what we are aiming for as she has different head carriage to the TBs I used to ride. Thank you.
 
Here's my grey's sire at a show (slightly overbent in this particular shot) but he's now doing really well at dressage. :)

I think it depends on the arab - some have higher head carriage than others.

Spud's default position is 'head in the air' and although he's never going to find flatwork easy, he can work nicely:

Whereas H's evasion is going overbent and 'curling up and looking pretty' but without actually working, so we always had to work on unfurling:
