[drivingpairs] Re: water hook?

Why, oh why, does Helen go away and stick me with the hard jobs?

Side reins (and overchecks) should never be used as training tools.

They unnaturally force a horse's head into a position as the horse tries to 
avoid the discomfort of the bit as positioned by the reins.

This creates tension...dressage judges are permitted to count visible tension 
against the horse in the score...if a horse is seen to grind its teeth - points.

In a driven dressage judging clinic it was discussed and decided that if a 
horse 
was heard to be grinding its teeth but not seen to be doing it...the horse 
could 
not be scored against.

This all is about 10 years out of date, so if I am wrong. I stand aside.
