🇧🇷 Brazilian horse training starts with softness.
The poll has to be loose before everything else can be loose.
If there’s tension in the poll, the rest of the horse stays blocked.
Releasing tightness and tension in the poll helps create:
✔ Better balance
✔ More freedom through the body
✔ Softer movement
✔ A more connected horse
You can’t build true balance, or softness on top of tension.
