Interesting way to teach long and low

I used clicker but not a target? Effectively, I taught a "head down" cue at halt, and once the horse understood, I used it when he was moving. I wouldn't call it long and low, I was aiming more at the "forward down out" of Straightness Training.

Looks like this in hand - I don't have a ridden pic but he understands ridden as well.
Sorry giant picture (photobucket won't seem to let me resize any more :o)

ETA found a ridden pic - you can see he's reaching into the bridle (no bit but same principle).

If the aim is to have its nose on the floor, then its successful. If working long and low is the goal, then its not working.
But the lady and her friends are having fun, horse is happy, so what does it matter ?
