“How light is light? Everyone wants a horse that is easy to handle and is light and responsive. However, it is interesting how oftentimes we fall into the trap of thinking we need knotted reins, bigger bits, and more strength to help us be more forceful! Before lightness can be achieved you must first offer it.

If a horse can feel a fly land and twitch that section of hair, then I am pretty sure they can feel you wiggling around up there or that rope wiggling around. It takes two to make a brace and if you are light and reward the slightest try, you have a much better chance of creating a light responsive, willing horse acting much more like a Partner.🤔

So the next time you are thinking you need to get bigger or push harder, consider offering lightness and waiting on the horse to respond and start right then to begin building a light and willing partner.”

Thought for the day:
Don't let anyone sell you the idea that learning this stuff is easy.
Easy is how it becomes after you have put in the effort to improve yourself.
It can take a long time to master concepts that are easy to understand and look easy when you watch it done by someone who has put in the effort.
It can take a long time to overcome self doubt, or fear, or the need to blame your horse or his past, or other tendencies that get in the way.
The light at the end of the tunnel will only appear when an effort is made to become closer to the end of the tunnel.
If it were just a matter of gaining knowledge in an academic fashion or through observation it would be easy.
Time and application to physically doing this with the benefit of the theoretical ideals is what will get you across the line.
