yes! You want him stretched and dropping down- even peanut rolling if need be. The key with arabs is to prevent them from inverting which is the main contributor to kissing spines. Kissing spines are to be avoided at all costs- they are very damaging. Also alternating soft feels under the rider with the horses head and neck briefly at the Ramener for a few steps at a time followed by a release and a neck rub is the thee main building block to true basculed collection. THis will avoid the use of martingales, tie downs, German running reins, and other head gadgets which are all torture tools of Satan, and should be banned from the face of the earth!!
