It's the get down from my mecate. It's just looped through my belt.
I just have it on the right side of my saddle horn and back to my belt. Exactly like this: http://horseandrider.com/content/content/13114/coxreins1.jpg

I HAVE A HORSE THAT WON A LOT OF MONEY ON THE TRACK AND WHEN HE CAME TO MY HOUSE HIS FEET WAS HORRIBLE AND HE STARTED DOING THIS. WHEN I GOT HIS FEET RIGHT HE QUIT IF SHE HASNT DONE THIS BEFORE I WOULD BE PUTTING HOOF TESTERS ON HER AND CHECK HER FEET GOOD LUCK |

Location: "...way down south in the Everglades..." | Did she do this when the guy put the first 40 rides on? Have you asked him or seen it prior to you riding her? Hard to say why she's doing it without more history. I'd almost wonder if it's not some confusion on her part. Maybe something you are doing that he didn't do, or vice versa? She's so young it may just be she needs to learn what you want. I'd follow the suggestion previously posted about how to get her head up and just ride her into the bit and then relax and let her do her thing and keep building on the exercises.

Location: North Dakota | Since no one else has suggested it, why not just unsaddle/bridle and turn her loose in there, let her get the dirt in her nose, resaddle and get on with her riding the way you want? If she's that distracted, get it out of her system and continue her trianing-especially if she's never been in arena with dirt.... Everything you're doing with her is life lessons right?! |

That's how I would hold the tail to my mecate. When I get a young horse in the roundpen and they exhibit this behavior from the beginning of their round pen sessions I know I'm going to enjoy this horse! Now, do I want them holding that stance in the arena, No! Because just like the video of the two different disciplines showed, the horses have their front ends elevated and the hinds pushing the really athletic maneuvers. Will I allow my young 45-90 day horse to drop their heads down for a good topline stretch you bet I will.
Remenber them golden rule of training the young horse: make what you want to be comfortable and what you don't uncomfortable. |

Location: California | To me, it looks like she really wants to lay down & roll in all that dirt. Has she been able to yet? Every time I lunge my colt, he HAS to roll. He will throw the biggest temper tantrum & literally lay down mid lope if he can sneak the opportunity. |

| My mare is a peanut pusher/marble roller when she trots and moves super slow. Picks her head up a little when she lopes but still carries it fairly low. There is nothing wrong with her, she wasn't trained to do it, its just how she prefers to carry herself. I'm not going to force her to move differently, I just learned to adapt to it and exercise with longer reins. |

Location: Saskatchewan | I was able to... inspire.... a little more energy out of her, and that seemed to have kept her from doing it, without her head getting high or anything.
