I noticed that you have what looks to be a fairly snug rope noseband on this horse. Is that what she usually wears or is it just to keep her from gaping her mouth as she learns to wear the leverage bit.
My horse is still pulling on my hands at times. Should I wait before I make the transition? What leverage bit do you recommend for transitioning out of a snaffle? I really appreciate how you describe your body position and what it communicates to your horse.
@@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing he usually does this when we are out on the trails and he is not paying attention to where I’m telling him where we are going. I do drive him with my legs to get him to pay attention to me and what I’m asking, but I really feel like I have to tug on him to get him in the direction I want. Not always but occasionally still happening. He is coming along great and has overcome a lot of issues considering he was not broke to ride until he was 9, he is now 11.

Loved the tip about not reverting back to a direct rein if the horse goes in a direction you don't want her to go. That's a hard instinct to fight!
Yes sir spot on Steer with your belly button!
Thanks!
Thank you
