This horse came to me very dull, no softness and no understanding of leg pressure. In the beginning of his training with me, he wouldn't steer, ignoring my legs, throwing his head up in the air, bracing, all the things! He is in for retraining and a very serious tune up!
This is about 20 rides later in his training and he's starting to respond to my legs, hands. He's starting to respond to the neck rein and my inside leg when I ask him to bend into the circle. He's doings so well.
I want him to understand that when I apply leg pressure, it means something and he should respond and not ignore my leg. It doesn't mean go faster or speed up, it means bend or lift his back or move his hip.
I had a HUGE BREAKTHROUGH with him today.....
Watch the WHOLE video until the end to see a miraculous change in how he responds to the neck rein. The neck rein means turn your head and neck into the circle and bend your body around my inside leg. Look in the direction you are going.
Inadvertently, I had my outside leg resting on his right side as we go left and he would look to the outside, hollow out his side and want to pivot into the circle, instead of rounding in a "C" and bend around following his nose from the neck rein. I was not applying any pressure, but he felt it. Once I figured this out, I took my outside leg completely off of him and he following his nose, softened and bent around my leg, following the outside rein against his neck, he made a beautiful turn.
Just this small adjustment was a light bulb moment for me and a breakthrough for him. He was telling me this all along, I just wasn't listening.
Small changes creates BIG RESULTS!!!! WE ALL NEED TO LISTEN TO OUR HORSES AND WHAT THEY ARE TELLING US! I'm so glad I finally listened.
Повторяем попытку...
