This message is from: Paula Steinmetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm also working with 6 yr old gelding (Fjord, of course!) in dressage. Very resistant to bending/sofening jaw. We worked for quite awhile on "forward" but he now seems confused with leg pressure when I ask for bending (in either direction). What is working? Any ideas?
