Round Table [02:34]
Round Table (1954--1987) was an American Thoroughbred Hall of Fame racehorse. He is considered the greatest turf horse in American racing history. Round Table was foaled at Claiborne Farm in Kentucky, on the night of April 6, 1954.

He was trained by Moody Jolley. en.wikipedia.org

CONSISTENCY - In order for an issue like this to be resolved on a young horse, the rider must always be giving the same message as to not confuse the horse. Every time the head is tossed, contact is held and leg pressure is increased to push the horse into the contact. When he softens and brings his head down he is rewarded - a "good boy" and a pat on the neck with a slight decrease in rein contact tells him he did something right. If this is done the same ...
