This video shows a typical ride with Solana. She is going very well, but can still get behind the leg and sticky at times. This stickiness is somewhat due to normal types of thoroughness, but it is also very much due to her particular character (and genetics!). You will be able to see how I quickly and efficiently 'switch gears' when I get the feeling she is getting stuck. In this way I can be an effective leader and communicator and expect her attention and openness mentally, yet still be forgiving and patient about my physical requests of openness from her. This video is great for anyone with a sticky horse who may find themselves 'nagging'.
