Grrrrr,Ok I know I should probably post on the 'I'm a Parelli nut' forum to get the best response, but I am a bit mad after watching Pat Parelli taking the p**s out of people who don't follow his methods and implying we are all cruel/can't ride etc.
I also get annoyed with the whole Dressage riders just haul mentality as well. I have no doubt that many do, but just wanted to share this picture of my young horse at a new venue, so a bit tense, trotting own the centre line to start his Dressage test.
I'm not implying that we are by any means perfect but does this look like a horse who is being hauled in or does not like his bit?
Lovely photo thanks to Digital Dressage!
For the really observant, yes that is a crank noseband, but it is not tight I just liek the look of it on a larger headed warmblood!
