I THOUGHT THE SAME EXACT THING!

He has to like the rain. He is the "WATERBOY"!

I always thought they called that "in a frame," but what do I know?

Can be called many things in the hunter/jumper world. "in a frame" is a nice dressage term too. But I didn't see him so I can't say wheter he was "on the bit"; "under the bit", "above the bit", etc...

I wish I could get Buck into a frame! When we start prepping for our "TRAINING" level dressage, he is going to get a neck stretcher put on! He is NOT going to like it. But he has to learn somehow. He was never taught to "frame" up so we are going to try it for a bit (like 5 min increments) with him having it on and me giving him the cues to "frame" up. Here's hoping he doesn't get so pissed that he lives up to his name.
