As with any correct work, the degree of bend should be evenly distributed from poll to tail. Too many riders are overbending the neck since thatās what they can see. The bend in front of the saddle should be the same as behind it. Otherwise overbending the neck makes the horse stiffen its body to maintain balance and isnāt productive.
I came across this site I think reading some commentary in the breeding section, but when I watched the video, I noticed some elements of the warmup/walk portion of these school sessions that I thought might be good to incorporate with my own horse who is very green and imbalanced.

There are several videos, might be worth checking out.

Horse must first understand that taking on the inside rein means step under and over (like TOF), release the outside of the body, and contract the inside of the body. If this isnāt taught in hand and undersaddle until it feels like butter to take gently and invisibly on the inside rein and have THAT body reaction from head to tailā¦then you will always āworkā on bend.
