How much of a horses headset is training and how much of it is conformation?
For instance Lacey always has her head downish (below level) at the walk but at the trot and canter it progressively comes up. When she's just chilling she generally has her head above level...
Here are some pictures (the standing, walking, and the canter picture are from last fall/spring so she looks a little depressed):
Is it just her conformation to have her head way up like that? That's pretty much what her head is like undersaddle too and I'm just kinda wondering if that's about what I can expect from her because of her confo. =) Undersaddle she has her head closer to the vertical obviously but it's up...
Thanks!
I have a video I can link to from this summer that shows her headset undersaddle if someone REALLY want to see my ugly riding and her cute summer-y-ness. haha
