In this video Karen rides Teo while narrating how she changes her intention and strategy in each moment based on his mental/emotional state. Teo has some residual stress connected with arenas from his previous life. He is a lovely horse who can go introverted when stressed. He has a history of exploding when over his limit. Watch how Karen seeks to gain his trust and dissolve tension while riding.
This video is great for anyone looking to understand their horses better and to know how to adapt to each different moment based on the horse’s mental state. Karen recommends watching the video: Teo - The Back Story prior to watching this video.
