i dont have a clue how its supposed to be done. I did it by standing on the ground and applying pressure to a rein and the very instant they give, release. then gradually got to where I could have him give and touch his nose to his side and hold it. Then the other side. Then straight down. Then graduated to in the saddle in the roundpen. The same things. Then while walking, the same things. A good way to teach whoa and to teach to slow down. and to bring nose in. janice-- yipie tie yie yo
