“Look where you’re going or you’ll go where you’re looking”.
Oh, and making scary faces too.
Riding a downhill built 14.2 Arabian forces you to not lean forward. You can easily fly over the almost non-existent neck if he trips.
I have actually been more than once to look down on occasion. 
My worst habit is being too handsy followed by not enough bend in my elbows (I guess that is #4). The handsyness is proving to be a very bad habit that is hard to break. It is infuriating!
One of the books required for Lendon’s youth dressage festival a few years ago was loaded with pictures of riders looking down. The name escapes me, but riders were told that looking down is not correct. When our kids opened the book, that was the first thing they noticed. Our b/o is one of the ones who reminds us that yes, where you look is where you will land. I’ve experienced that the hard way.
