Karen teaches a student, Ann, with her lovely 7 yr old PRE gelding, Uno. He is friendly, light and sensitive, but gets crooked, tight, and stuck in his body. When he does, the energy can come out in very explosive ways. Watch how Karen and Ann calmly create a plan to help him find the open doors that will help him relax and move more freely. This is an excellent video for anyone who feels like their horse gets 'tangled up in himself' and stuck. It is also an excellent video to have a picture of how to stay calm, positive, and helpful to a horse who could easily be misunderstood to be 'naughty'.
