When a horse leans or carries more weight on the forehand, the instinct to avoid a fall can trigger tightness. This can appear as drifting during liberty work, leaning on the lunge line, or tension in the reins under saddle. By tackling these patterns from the start, the approach supports a calmer, more connected, and more athletic horse.
