“Concentrating and communicating… with accuracy, feel and timing.
This really should be for all of us, doesn’t matter what discipline you participate in. One should play with their horses. The most important message is that we don’t loose respect and love for our horses. Our training should not cause undo stress and anxiety, but rather be fun and playful up to the highest level. Our horse should be eager to see us, enthusiastic about the progression, comfortable and relaxed along the way. When we can perform the most difficult movement, with out the horse hardly recognizing it, then we have prepared our horses correctly. It should be as fun for the horse as well as the rider and a partnership.”
