I adore Jane Savoie. She did a clinic at my college and I learned a TON from her. Thanks for posting this; way too many people ride their horse backwards when it comes to getting them on the bit. No hind end, no horse!

P - I will make sure we have a go at that on Tue :)

Patricia - yes, there are so many horses with pulled in necks, sad.

Thats a great article. When I first started riding one of my trainers taught me to "saw" the bit for the horse to look more elegant. I'm thankful that I learned the correct way, and had instructors to show me how to achieve a horse on the bit and looking spectacular just by riding him/her forward - and to think so many people buy equipment and "saw" the bit to achieve it. Most importantly, I like riding the horses forward because it occurs naturally for the horse to bend their heads as they please instead of forcing them to by nagging them with the bit.
