It looks like you're not just teaching the head position (especially when you're talking about flexing the poll) but more so (and more importantly) the shoulder lift that comes with it! It's really that part that allows the whole body to follow :) it's a very crucial detail, an important one to look for when reinforcing the poll flexion! I really enjoyed watching this!

It's a great way to teach the idea of how they can move better.

Thank you thank you!! Oh I've been trying for a year to get my horse to drop his head in trot - he does exactly everything you mention: rushing, stumbling, all of it. It is like he doesn't know how to trot with a lower head position. I lunged with a neck stretcher (no change), trotted him over poles (he stumbles over them)... all articles and videos mention "lifting the back", "engaging the outide rein", etc etc - this means nothing to me or him. It makes so much sense to use a target and reward. Going to try this now! Thank you!!

You're welcome and good luck with the training. Working on the ground really helps this, too, as it allows the horse to figure out his balance without the rider on board, making it easier for both of you when you ride. Take a look at my gymnastic groundwork playlist if you want some more groundwork exercises and ideas, too. :-)

I always thought engaging the hindquarters and then framing the front kinda makes the head fall into place. That's how it's been for me. I think you're focusing on the head too much, most of it all is the seat of the rider.

Hi Nina, Thanks for taking the time to watch the video :) This short video is really only about using positive reinforcement to help horses understand what we're looking for in terms of head positions. Riding and training are obviously massive subjects and these videos are just tasters to give people ideas about what's possible. We go in to much more depth about this topic and everything else involved in the comprehensive online courses. connectiontraining.com/home-study-courses/

Lovely and informative video, thanks! About how long did it take to teach these horses the different stages of head carriage? :-)

Thanks! Well, you can usually teach the basic concepts in a few sessions, but you're refining them forever, so it's a bit of a difficult question to answer! It also depends on the experience and aptitude of both horse and human because obviously if you're just starting out, it takes longer to figure out what you're training than if you've trained it to 10 horses already. Also, some horses are fit, experienced and with good conformation and training history, so can easily learn and apply new positions. Others are out of shape, with trickier conformation, have had long-term movement patterns such as head high-hollow back, or nose-on-the-floor, and haven't had much training, and they will take much longer to teach. They can all learn to be more balanced, engaged, supple and include more variety in their movement, though. Hope that helps a bit!

@connectiontraining, my horse always has a low head and I had NO idea that was likely the cause of his tripping and speeding up down hill. But, I am not sure I fully understand how to transition queue’s from ground work to when riding? Any tips? Also, what if your horse isn’t one for treats?

I would love to try this with my boy . I ride with a neck rope more than I don't . lol Would it work better if you use a word associated with the flexion ..as you're on board?

Yes a bit definitely isn't essential for this training :)
