First Thoughts About Contact Victor - July 2018
A Yummy Connection With Reins
•
17m
In this video, Karen plays with a Grand Prix dressage horse to change his first thoughts about the contact. He is recovering from an injury and is only allowed to walk. He shows a lot of defensive bracing that has become a habit. He has a new owner with very good hands so there is a great chance that this improvement will last! You will see most of the first session, and you will see how he was in the next two sessions. It includes a lot of the actual process, small improvement by small improvement, which may not seem very action-packed, but if you are like Karen and get excited about small changes that lead to big results, you will LOVE this video.
This exercise can be done by ANY horse who is being ridden in contact.
