“Tempo, activity, flexion. All the dynamics should work through the neck and culminate in the poll and bit.”
“All the movement of that big body gets tunnelled through the little poll. That’s the important thing. That is why moving the nose left and right doesn’t help because if the target, that is the poll, keeps moving, you can never get the energy through.”
“You can have him on the bit, but not through in the neck. You have to give with the hand so that he can go through the neck, but not so much that he gets away from you. The giving is just to let the energy through. Give him a little finger, not your entire arm.”
