How do I train my horse to drop at the poll and bend at the crest?
I am training a 2 year old morgan filly and I bought a training surcingle and cavason and side reins. Is that what I need to train correct head position? Also, how do I train her fast and slow gaits. Like a working trot as opposed to an extended trot?
I use a surcingle and side reins for getting a horse to accept steady bit pressure. they don't do much for getting a horse to drop their poll. Some horses will do it naturally with bit pressure, others will stick their head up and resist the pressure.
You asked a loaded question, which is very hard to explain without showing.....
To train correct head position, you need to ride her. Read up on half-halts (outside rein, a slow holding of the rein) to get the horse to drop their poll (a dropped poll will get a horse to bend at the crest, providing they are also moving forward and using their back. You can not have a correct head position without the other two (however, you can have the head look correct, but not actually be).
If the horse is moving in a forward trot (in a working trot) a half halt will bring the poll down, and set the horse back on it's haunches a bit. If the horse is forward and using it's back, getting the head in the correct position is very easy.
To work on half halt- first I do it on the ground- when bit pressure is applied, the horse learns to drop it's head (I give treats at this point). So the horse learns (eventually) that a single rein pulled with no leg cues means drop the poll a little.
As for extended trot- don't expect or work on a two year old to get it, they don't have the muscling or training for it- basically it is a longer strided trot with a longer body feel, and more uphill. You will need to master the basics before doing extended or lengthened trots. Some horses get them naturally once their muscling and balance is there, others (like my main mare) find it very difficult.
to work on shortening or lengthening the trot stride (not a beginner less, work on everything else first) use half halts and a deeper seat to have the horse take shorter strides (you want just as much energy in each gait) and put more leg pressure on to get a longer stride. A common starter horse mistake is to speed up (not lengthen stride) or go down to a walk.
when I start training it, I use half halts to get the horse to go from a working trot to a western jog -like one. I don't ask the horse to sit underneath themselves more or go with as much energy because it is hard, and I just want them to get the basic concept first. Once that is master, I go to refining it until they keep the energy and impulsion.
