Hello all I am a trainer and have been ridding dressage and training for
many years. I have been training Fjords for the past 2 years. I agree with
you about everything can be done beautifully with a snaffle. However I find
it
very difficult to get a true stop and maintain any sort of (beatifully
piosed hand and body) In other words pulling the crapp out of them. Which
is
not the purpose of dressage. I have great success with the stop as long as
leverage is available. And yes there are a few individuals in the breed that
co-operate due to better conformation for riding. I ask what are your tricks
with a good stop on the snaffle for a horse under saddle. And please no more
cirlces or figures. I am already dizzy :))) And yes it is not a problem
to stop them with driving lines and snaffle. Of course you have a lot of
leverage again. And they are wonderful cart horses and excel there.
Thanks Bonnie
