Let’s talk about building a strong and correct foundation…
2.5 weeks ago Drifter couldn’t walk a circle to the left without stopping his feet, locking up and immediately getting frustrated with trying to figure out what I was asking of him.
By day 3, we were walking left circles, not worrying about shape, but just focusing on building the connection between his face and his feet and realizing that it’s ok to move up into the bridle.
Fast forward to today, and he’s putting it all together going from left to right, counter bending and moving off my leg with ease and confidence!
Seeing all the pieces come together even in this small win of just trotting and maintaining good forward motion while moving off leg and staying soft in the bridle is what I love so much about training horses ❤️
Each horse is a journey and I’m so grateful for clients that choose me to help them along their journey
