Sweet Spot with Linus - May 2014
Problem: Brace

25m
Karen rides a student's horse at a clinic. The owner has said she wanted Linus to feel 'Less like a Mac truck"!

Karen rode him on a day where he was a bit distracted, so you will see exactly how she went about improving him in these areas.
This video is great for anyone who has a horse that feels like he understands, but just is a bit dull in his responses, and because of that is having trouble finding the sweet spot.
