Lifting the Front End

When you put your head down what do you use to raise your head, what muscles where do you use to raise your head and neck. Probably if you are like most people you use your neck muscles.

Well doesn't that make sense?

What else would you use?

And if you are like most riders you do the same. Without thinking about it, when you think or work with your horse and think about which muscles your horse should use to ride in a higher frame. Which muscles would you expect he would use?

Not sure, here is a wonderful exercise by Mary for riders. Let's see what we can find out from it.

Try This Easy, Effective Exercise!
