i accuired a horse 2 months ago and hes wonderful (brilliant, amazing, etc hehe ) but hes a bit "looky" as it were, he rarely actually spooks, but when im schooling him, if something occurs outside of the arena he'll stick his head up (he usually works into a lovely outline/contact - really works from behind) and evade me, which means i have to push him back into the outline, which although not a HUGE problem, does distract us all for a bit.
so his previous owner popped by today to see him, and had a ride, and he suggested riding in draw reins once a week, so that i can give him a tweak to remind him im still on board (bearing in mind hes a hugely powerful 16.2hh belgian warmblood show jumper - and im a 17 year old ) ... ive used draw reins before, but would this be the correct usage of them.. obviously only on the flat, not for jumping, and only once a week.. ?
