Very noce and forward. Now lengthen reins about an inch to allow the front to stretch forward. The back and hind isnt at the same level of collection, and you have to lengthen the reins to allow the horse to step under and lift the back. At that point then shorten the reins a bit. This isn't as good as you will get when you practice the above. It will take some time. The hind end needs time to strengthen enough to be able to maintain the level of collection you are asking the front to do so this os why it is best to lengthen reins and ask this horse to start reaching forward into contact. The poll is dropping as the horse brings the face behind vertical. It is a hard habit to break. Could take 9 mo of everyday rides, depending on the horse and rider combination. ❤❤❤😊
