She has been a pleasure/trail riding horse for the last seven years of her life. She is uneducated, and being a self taught-intermediate rider I am unable to educate her myself as to hold her head correctly. She is DETERMINED to stick her nose out, she doesn't toss her head or lift her head ridiculously, but she has no carrige! I've tried the dutch gags, I've tried the pelhams, she justs throws her head up and refuses to give to the pressure at the poll! After doing some research, I purchased the German Martingale (yet to try). Do you have any tips as to encorage her to flex at the poll? Can I use the martingale indefinetly or as long as needed?

I have an older Morgan/QH gelding who when he speed up likes to stick his nose in the air and try to take control to keep going fast. I want to use his speen as a timed event horse. Will the German Martingale work for him to train to barrel race? Hi.

But when I ask him to slow down and pull back on the reins he thinks I'm asking him to drop his poll when I want him to slow down. How can I help him distinguish the two?

A good dressage horse must learn to REACH for and go ON the bit before he is ever taught to get BEHIND it. If you already have the first two requirements handled, then the German martingale will greatly help the third. Take care, Larry T. @Courtney: Hi Courtney.

I'm looking to train her to do dressage because of her natural ability. Eventually I will start her over fences and I'll begin eventing with her. I'm wondering if it will help her use her frame to begin with a German martingale now or if it's too soon to begin using it. Thanks!
