The Sweet Spot of Biomechanics
•
14m
Karen rides a student's horse to help her become more consistent in the contact and more 'through' in her top line. You will hear Karen as she narrates what she is doing in the moment. You will hear some of Karen's favorite analogies: The Wind In the Sail analogy and The Screen Door analogy. This video is great for anyone with a light, sensitive horse who tends to be inconsistent in their connection with the reins. You will be able to see what Karen is asking the horse, and she will explain what she is doing in her body to help the horse.
