Denny talks about asking your horse to stretch down. I do this everytime I ride Spirit, our Emotional Egyptian Arabian. This really works!

Training a horse to stretch over its back may have positive side effects in more ways than we may know.

When I went to a Klaus Balkenhol clinic given by NEDA at U-Mass Amherst a few years ago, he had all the horses from the greenest 4 yr old to a grand prix veteran start and end each session stretching as long and low as the rider could get the horse to go, as a means of creating suppleness.

In John Lyons' magazine, "A Perfect Horse" John said that a relaxation cue was teaching a horse to stretch over its topline and reach for the ground.

Lyons said that the first thing a nervous horse does is to raise its head, and if the rider can induce the opposite, it will create a soothing effect.

So take a tip from two great horsemen, coming at the same thing from differing perspectives. Teach your horse to reach for the ground, lowering its head "from the withers" to create both a physical increase in range of motion, as well as an emotional lessening of inner tension.
