Digg! this story.

I had a great lesson with Tigger today. My trainer introduced me to the longeing cavesson. I had never used one before, telling myself that longeing cavessons were for professionals. I normally longe in the bridle with the line through the near bit ring, over the poll, and clipped to the far bit ring. Turns out this technique is not what my boy needs.
He was SO much more forward. Most of his work was long and low (which I want him to do on the line), and he was so much more relaxed. I gotta get me one of these things. Seriously it was like day and night. I almost feel like I had been abusing him using the bridle. He went the full 20m out — he’s never done that before.
I gotta get one.
