it rained this afternoon so didn't do anything with molly - she was a bit wet!
but i was thinking; when i finally got her going right last summer, per the photos - it was with the bitless bridle, which i haven't used since new year save for the odd occasion.
it is a pressure/release tool, hugs the head - the idea is - well, best off reading it for yourselves. pull one rein, pressure on the opposite side of the head - release rein = release pressure.
it therefore occurs to me, that may well be why i was eventually successful with that
so, i think i'll go back to using that for lunge work; no reason why it shouldn't work for long lining either, in principle! will ask....
and finally got hold of teacher - turned out she'd been having problems with her phone. lesson organised. but I won't be going up there for a lesson on one of hers - because her indoor is full of bits of her wagon whilst the brakes are mended....

Interesting about the bridle. You just might be on to something.
The reward of a release from pressure can be so important in training.
Glad about the lesson too. It really helps to have another set of eyes and another brain to sort things out sometimes.
