My mare has taught me about myself...and I watch others too... their deficiencies...show up in the horses behaviors!<br />Disciplines are tough to maintain...diligence is a muscle!( I am sure of it!)<br /><br /><br />I liked to cool down from rides(when I had an arena to ride in) with the reins on the pommel and my arms out like an airplane...head straight and looking to where I wished to go. I would make a pattern ..easy at first, like diagonals across the whole. Then, working serpentines off the wall and back 2 - 3 times per long wall. All without reins and with body movements only...it helps build confidence that they feel your directional intentions- with out your hands!<br />KKallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837810398681671703.post-43321261056342351532010-08-01T08:19:37.187-07:002010-08-01T08:19:37.187-07:00I taught Indigo to ride bridleless by my leg.

Plus shes a super sensitive girl she responds to tiny little cues. Thats why we get along so well. Other people think shes being forward but really shes just responding to teeny little changes you give her without most people noticing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523660446608394720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837810398681671703.post-6135390347558168702010-08-01T07:11:09.840-07:002010-08-01T07:11:09.840-07:00It sounds like you had a great ride and maybe a re...It sounds like you had a great ride and maybe a revelation. <br />I also have an English riding background and keep trying to have contact. I'll have to try holding the horn.

I have a tendancy to think I am always right, but when I ask someones opinion, I try thier idea and see if it works, then make my choices if its right for me, but its hard to do.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035210092855895218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837810398681671703.post-63646357174316363392010-07-31T19:51:43.128-07:002010-07-31T19:51:43.128-07:00I'm so glad you had a great session today.
