Lola says: Hello! I have a question rather than a comment! I do not have an Art2ride trainer in my area and i am training my little cow pony (appendix) rescue. He was ridden completely hollowed out and harshly for all his time under saddle before me. (Four months) and was used to pack meat out of the mountains for two years before that. While he’s super sure footed he’s completely upside down. I’m working him a la Art2ride and he’s made a TON of progress but I’m getting criticism at the barn for training him “so on the forehand.” I don’t really care what people say, but I’d like to calm and logical answer to provide when people get on my case when I’m longing/riding him with his nose on the ground (which he learned very quickly presumably because it made him feel so much better.) i have many canned responses, but horse people can be somewhat intense in their dogma. Could you offer some insight as to what to say? (On my birthday list is the appearance of an Art2ride trainer in Marin County) thank you in advance, very grateful. 🙂

When the horse stretches its neck down and forward it lifts the withers up out of the shoulders and allows the thrust of the hind legs to push up into the back lifting the forehand of the horse off the ground as it moves. As the horse develops in strength it will be able to do the same thing and keep the neck in a higher position.
