I will be coming back and adding to this post... more photos because photos show better. and more on the corrections I did and why
I bought Marigold as a 2 year old in September, 2005. I liked how she trotted for 2 steps (round pen was too small so couldn't do more). I also liked her mother a lot. Her father was a nicely boned short QH.
I sent her for training after spending 4 maths doing groundwork (lungeing, getting accustomed to tack, things happening, riding etc). She was going perfectly. Rhythmical, bent to inside, flexed, etc etc
Got her back inverted, tense, etc etc
Photos of Marigold before. This is not trained. Naturally in a good posture
Head up but looking. front legs underneath. handless sprawled
Looking for her crest to wiggle now. tail swings after some long, slow work. Lunged slower so her steps are coming from behind and she is pushing herself not pulling. Had to walk backwards, asking her to lower her head. a lot. Then taught her to flex at the poll.
Point whip at the poll to flex to the inside, then to the middle of the neck, and then finally at the girth to bend to the inside. The lower neck is bulging. Hindleg is not swinging forward enough. It can't because of the tension in the toppling. Head to high pulling herself along with her front legs. the first step should be a handle.
