I wonder if the right-left-right-left swinging of the horse's head to each shoulder universally done upon mounting to Paso Fino horses is a version of Rollkur? SolteraSoltera (talk) 20:17, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- The way I've seen it done, the horse trained to touch your stirrup with its nose, but with light touch on the rein, may be a variant of stretching out, but when I've seen ROllkur, it's usually done with contact and more force. I'm of a mixed view on the benefit of stretching and asking for release; some forms are, I think, helpful. The Rollkur variant seems to lead to the horse HOLDING a stress position, though. Not 100% certain I am correct on this, however. Definitely the way I see people run around breed shows with draw reins on a western curb bit is a rollkur variant, though!

Intro edit
The intro is missing an explanation of why one would use this technique. The body only mentions that it "improves score" but doesn't say how. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:03, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
