I was wondering if anybody else finds this way of going repulsive? I have been away from competitive riding for a while only to return about a year ago! Surely it is easy to get a horse to overbend this way rather than having them work in a more natural outline .... i.e. the poll being the highest point and head on the vertical. I have been shocked to see some "top dressage riders" seeming to force horses beyond the vertical intentionally and being commended for it! Bizzarre I think as years ago and locally now I would be marked down for such riding. Thoughts please?
