have i found the key?

myler combi. put it in (with the shorter cheek pieces of course.). she didn't argue with it in the stable. I got on; she stood llike a lamb. I went to the arena on a very long rein and walked round slowly picking up a contact (although not as short a rein as RI would have me use!).

for direction, close the hand, little finger.

we got lots of nice walk, we got circles, we got a halt - all with no resistance in the jaw. I could feel that she was softer. i was also told that she looked more relaxed.

so watch this space (but not tomorrow .... i'm going to the baltic for a bit of a do.....)

Well, that sounds like a plus. Some people swear by the Myler bits. I've never used one. If it's comfortable for her it might really help things along.

The baltic? The sea?
