Much better. He looks so much happier. Poor boy was so overbent in the first video it was horrendous! Well done

Head not as hauled in as in the first vid, but still overbent and not working through.

Forget about where his head is for a while and get him going forward and using his hind end properly.

So so so much better now! I didn't even think it was the same horse. I watched the first video and hoped that the horse wasn't going to be so overbent in the second one - and he wasn't - he looks great and is such a lovely horse! Good luck with whatever you do with him!!

He looks lovely and comfortable, tracking up nicely and generally looks calmer, happier and more comfortable!

I wanted to drag the rider off in the first video He certainly looks more relaxed in your video and his head isn't being hauled in. Agree needs to work through more although early days and you've made progress - well done

He looks a lovely boy

Much better! I agree, the poor soul looked scared of the bit in the first vid he's still ducking behind the bridle every so often, but he's far better, and will improve with increased impulsiveness and throughness he looks freeer behind now too

Plenty of work getting him really pushing through from behind and encouraging him to take the contact out and forward and he'll be fab, lovely chap

J&C

I think he was a victim of draw reins when broken , as is alot I think of horses from continent. He still won't stretch down when given rein but there is defo a improvement , I can't take credit for the work though I have someone schooling him for me for past 4 weeks, but she is doing a good job and I think in just a month he is looking better, still quite tense at times.
