Specifically point out where the pole of the horse should be in relationship to her saddle or personal body. Show her what a horse looks like above, on and below the bit. There are plenty of them out there. Racing is above, Dressage or Hunt is on, and Western is below and behind. Show her high, medium and low head sets. This will help her to visualize correctly. She was GOOD! Today! She was Good!

http://www.briarfieldfarm.com/cooperroanoke2.jpg - a still from an over fences class (no martingale in a flat-class allowed), just loosen the rein and have him seek contact a bit and he looks pretty good for a flat class. http://www.briarfieldfarm.com/DSC_0095.JPG - good example of the light contact you'll see in H/J pleasure classes. http://www.briarfieldfarm.com/charlieashowtrot.JPG - heavy on the forehand and head a little lower than I'd like, but acceptable. This is as far toward the stockhorse HUS ideal as one should go at a regular H/J show. http://www.briarfieldfarm.com/hamlintrooperrwf.JPG - a little loopier than I'd like to see with the rein, better carriage from the horse. http://hunterspeak.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/gr_impression5775039.127130133.jpg - this is pretty sharp, but not quite "soft" and relaxed enough. http://www.fouroaksfarmva.com/images/n696662675_1326373_4727.jpg - rein way too loose but otherwise okay

That may be but is there something wrong with being able to look at a horse and know if he is on or off the bit or has proper headset? He isnt asking her to tell from the saddle he just wanted her to look at some pictures and see some of the differences. So that she can have a better understanding of what he is asking of her.

I hear what your saying but I dont think we need a new trainer based on a badly worded email.
Just wanted to see some pictures of what being on the bit "looked" like. What a proper head set "looked" like based on different disciplines. The how or why of it was not important. Thanks anyway.
