Liz says: Very helpful explanations for how to encourage this horse. Thank you!
Julie says: Hi, I found this really useful. I m rehabing my horse due to mild kissing spine and am encouraging the stretch and rounding. How far do you think it s possible to do this kind of work using only a halter? Im not so keen on attaching a line directly to her mouth. Thanks!.

As long as the horse stretches deep enough to allow the back to lift and begin the process of healing, you can go right on using the halter. As the horse develops and you want to begin the process of bringing the head and neck up, I find a loose ring snaffle is the choice that allows me to have a very soft contact that allows for a closer sense of communicating with the horse.
