I was working with
Jackson on the lunge
line to get him to lift
the base of his neck. I
did this by endo tapping
his belly in time with
his inside front leg. I
would tap just as it was
about to lift up. When I
saw him lift the base of
his neck, I would click
and reward.
Then I would just ask
him to trot and if he
offered to lift the base
of his neck, I would
click and reward.
Therefore encouraging
him to lift his neck on
his own.
Jackson also bowed with
me on him. This is only
the second time he has
ever done it with a
rider!
