I have a 10 yr. old horse that wasn't ridden much over a period of 7 yrs. I sent him to be worked with at a trainers for two weeks. This trainer put a bosel type tie down on him and a tom thumb bit. I had ridden him with a snaffle and no tie down, never had any problem with head tossing. She would pull on the reins, he's throw his head up and hit the tie down and then throw his head down. She said he was avoiding the bit. Which he has never done, I think he was avoiding the tie down. There is a way of going here in the usa for western pleasure horses to go along with their heads almost touching the ground. I think it looks dumb, but maybe she was attempting this? Anyhow, he has come back to me and when I ride him and go to turn him, he throws his head down between his front legs and stops. I can't get his head up, no strength really. It seems she's taught him this trick. How do I get him to bring his head back up?
