Part 2 of how to introduce a shank bit to your horse. This video explains "bracing" in the horse's face and how to look for softness to the rider's hands.
is it possible to ride horse in collection with a rope halter? what is the point of collection? higher mobility by carrying longer on the hind legs? Is it required to 'stop on the back legs'? from what I have heard, collection does not put more weight on the hinds, it puts same weight longer on the hind legs.
The purpose of collection is to keep a horse balanced. It is required to do athletic moves required in almost any equine sport. Once a horse learns to do it, the horse will do it with little help so I’m sure you could do it in a halter.
