Re: [RC] shoes/bits affecting natural gaits - sreidThe question was asked: Is "collected and on a bit" natural for a horse or is it a head and neck position that people choose for the horse? I have never seen any horse travel that way without being forced. And yes, this sort of carriage IS natural for the horse--he can carry himself this way on his own. It comes easier for a well-balanced horse. In my humble experience of horse watching, I have seen them collect constantly. If they can't collect to do simple play behavior, something is wrong and I run out to see what is up! ============================================================ REAL endurance is dressing for 20 degrees in the AM and by noon its 85 degrees! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
