There’s not a lot to say about this post, except that I did work on feel from the ground first and also a “make believe” visualization last night while I was reading the book, Sacred Spaces: Communion With The Horse Through Science and Spirit.
It’s Tumbleweed’s second time bareback, and there wasn’t any of the muscle twitching going on that we had from his first experience.
He did very well.
I didn’t ask for anything beyond the walk, although, I think he would have been fine at other gaits.
That’s for another day.
If you do watch this long video, there is one point toward the end where he’s looking outside the arena for something to be concerned about, and when I checked in with him on the inside rein he was surprised and scooted a bit. I was doing those little check ins the whole time. That’s the feel he needs for support.
My husband sat and took the video with the dogs running around him. Luckily, they didn’t startle Tweed.
