Racehorse problem.

Postby windyr » Sat Mar 02, 2019 7:49 am

Hi, I have a 6 year old colt that runs with his head high which I believe is affecting his racing ability. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

You could try a big shadowroll noseband. Personally I've had experience with that and the shadow roll can bring down the head and really make them engage their front end so much more.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
