The engine of the horse in on it's rear end. so lets stop worrying so much about frame, and bits, and all of that other crap. Lets focus on the engine, transmission, steering, and brakes, because if everyone was an automotive engineer, there would be no consumers. Yes we must fit the right bit on the horse, but it is not as important, as developing it's thrusting power (engine), it's calms (transmission), straightness (steering), and a solid whoa (brakes). Basics are key.. don't worry so much about frame, because a horse that looses it's contact only needs to be pushed in to the bit in a rising trot, or transitions. A horse that is heavy on the hands, only needs to whoa on command and the half halts, to regulate speed. The horse that is calm will learn what we want to teach. Don't worry so much about, neck rein or direct rein, because a horse that is ridden correctly will learn both automatically. The horse that refuses to go forward, we don't need to kick him, we just teach him impulsion and develop it's revving power.


Who gives, if the horse is third level dressage, or reiner, or cutter, they are all horses and they all have the same anatomy, and they all are trained in a certain way. Get with it people, it's about developing the horse, about making a nothing horse into a decent or good horse. It's about making a good horse into a great horse, and about turning a great horse into a legendary icon. it all starts and ends with the horse's frame of mind, then with the way we train it. If we do it right and develop the engine, we don't need to worry about the frame, it will be automatic. But... a sports car with no steering is dangerous, and even worse a sports car with lots of power and no brakes can be fatal.
