are you aware of the one I am describing, I don't have sound on work computer, but trying to see the cruelness in it, yes it puts pressure on the poll, but it is a rope across the poll if they get their head up, pressure, and release if they put it in correct position, I know there is training issues, but her prior training was a little sketchy, and of course I am impatient, problems with her, yes she yields to leg pressure, but sometimes misses the cue as a directional change, and takes it as a speed increase, I used both legs squeezing to increase speed, she was trained w/ one, sometimes she yields to move over, other times she trys to bolt out of it, other issues, hard to stop, sometimes she is great, give her cue w/ seat, set back, light rein she'll stop, if she doesn't stop right away I back her to were I cued the stop, head flies up the whole time though w/ pressure on the bit for back cue, therefore sometimes the stop results in a tossed head, and no stop
