This head position is completely natural.
For a playful and energic horse.
For 0,1 seconds.
Not for 10 minutes driven by force.
Not until the tongue is blue.
Not until the eyes is rolling.
Not until the back loses its ability to move properly.
Not until the horse gives up.
This is also a great example on why we must be very careful when we base our opinions on a single photo. Please research before critizing and keep the debate constructive.

Is this a kind of lunge line you’re using? I have never seen this before. What is it called? I love you blog. Your Friesian is sooo dreamy :)
SO true! Horses can do it naturally but it does last less than a second, so the FEI rules of being allowed to work ‘long and low’ (LDR which is more like rollkur) for 10 minutes!
Love you’r blog!
