hello a new journey begins for Bo and me, we had our first bitless riding lesson and i loved every second the time went sooo quickly, first my stirrups were shortened then my legs were placed further forward ,it felt strange at first but got better,my new instructor said to give Bo options such as when he got a bit strong to circle him giving him the option to listen or work harder.i never thought of that. it works, but im sure for a split second he gave our instructor a dirty look.lol.Bo worked well in the Dr cooks and was very forward going,but i felt he was very stopable as well.Bo appears very happy not to have a bit in his mouth, no headshaking or leaning in fact no complaints from him at all.
