My Standardbred Poe has been coming along in leaps and bounds. We've recently started lunging over trot poles and he's doing really well.
I would like to start working on getting him long and low, but I have no idea how to do it and would rather not use gadgets, mostly because I'd be worried about using them incorrectly. Is there any way to achieve this? Keep in mind that he's not yet saddle broken.
He's starting to muscle up, but his topline still needs a LOT of work, hence the poles and wanting to get him working better. He's a lot better than he was, but still a ways away from where I'd like him to be when he goes off to the trainer.
Here's a screenshot of his current headest, in case it helps.
