Hi Will,
At one point in this video, Bailador lifts his head during a sitting trot. Your comment was “she [the rider ] is able to finesse him back”.
What exactly do you mean by that? I notice during these times when the horse’s head is rising, the rider’s hands are more active. What exactly is she doing to encourage him back into the stretch?
Thanks Will, and happy holidays.

Hi Anne, she is just softening to contact by giving and taking, he responds and lowers his head and neck a little and does not hollow his back. Had she not gotten that response, she would would have gone back to rising trot and worked him back into the stretch.
