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.
