Tip/Quote of the Day # 91
If the horse doesn't want to be straight in his body, you can best improve him by exaggerating the opposite of whatever tendency he has. If he likes to over bend his neck to the left and carry his haunches to the left - regularly ask for flexion and bend through the body to the right (no matter which direction you are going.)
