Many people ride with the head down and that is okay, but most riders are not able to control it. You have to be able to control it up, down and to the right and to the left. The riders see down with the neck down with the neck, and they pull the neck, pulling the head between the front legs of the poor horse, and the hindlegs are out behind, far behind.&#8221;<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56216\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/RustyHome.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/RustyHome.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/RustyHome-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/RustyHome-414x300.jpg 414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is good to put the horse\u2019s head down to strengthen his back, to make him loose, this is the way I train Rusty in the week where he has no competition, with a long neck, so then he takes the bit and the muscles are very loose and he feels good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56220\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/RustyGames.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/RustyGames.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/RustyGames-271x300.jpg 271w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Read more:<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"cvN71UQwTj\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/2017\/09\/at-home-with-ulla-salzgeber\/\">At Home with\u00a0Ulla Salzgeber<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;At Home with\u00a0Ulla Salzgeber&#8221; &#8212; The Horse Magazine\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/2017\/09\/at-home-with-ulla-salzgeber\/embed\/#?secret=awiRzpiWtw#?secret=cvN71UQwTj\" data-secret=\"cvN71UQwTj\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the world&#8217;s great riders, Ulla Salzgeber shares her views on where your horse&#8217;s neck should be&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":56217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[81,4],"tags":[20,107],"class_list":["post-56214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-dressage","tag-dressage-training","tag-ulla-salzgeber"],"acf":[],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56214"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66081,"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56214\/revisions\/66081"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
