OK another post got me thinking about what is overbent & what's a 'correct' outline....
my boy is very compact, relatively short neck, when he goes into what I perceive to be a good outline I am pretty sure the poll is the highest point but it still feels like his head and neck are pretty low, he feels like he is much lighter in my hands and the pace is much smoother & 'floatier' (god how crap am I at describing things!) - I can sit comfortably to his trot & the whole experience is much smoother.....BUT (being the paranoid freak that I am!) how would I know if he is 'overbent'???
anyone got any pics to demonstrate both? Or can you explain how a horse feels under you if they are overbent....
