I'm very much used to stock horses, so this might not be the case with Spanky, as he is more refined "Arab" type, but I'm used to horses who will frequently stretch their neck down and out, round their back and get under themselves with their hindquarters. Spanky doesn't do this. The ONLY way I've been able to get him to is to work him in the front yard, where there is lots of longish grass, but then he isn't thinking about working anymore, but eating (typical boy
) Also, he came with side reins for his harness, but they seem to short, even on the longest setting. He has a pretty awful frame and I'd like to get him to work with his hindquarters under him, but that is becoming easier said then done
