Dressage: Different types of trot

[@drhesslen]

How do you keep his head tucked like that? D: I have tried everything

[@ida2300]

if the horse is engaged in its hindlegs and if its lifting its back the head goes down automaticly.

[@wewewewewewewew2076]

when the horse starts really getting into the rhythm and is trotting faster, the head naturally tucks down to conserve energy. it takes many muscles to keep the head up so naturally letting it down is a more comfortable position for the horse to be in.

@@wewewewewewewew2076 this is not at all true. trotting really fast is NOT good, and a horse is much more likely to stick its head up like a giraffe if you do that. if the horse is active from behind and has swing in the back, and is working over the back, he will form a round shape. this results in 'the head coming down'.

It means he is on the bit and has a round frame there are videos on KZbin to help you ;)

[@mellowhny]

thats actually a bad trot... the legs are not the same and he's turning up and not down the way it would be healthier
