Thanks I have high hopes. I also bought a flip horse, a Brentano II gelding, 2nd level, for me to ride and enjoy for a bit and to put changes on and then resell. Came with new custom tack and was very low priced so was a great pickup. Black, pretty, 16hh. Very friendly.

That's not what we are talking about, Rye. It's not an accidental thing, it's a deliberate allowing of the reins to be pulled through the hands to facilitate a temporary longer length of neck. (Or that's how I understand it!)
