I just love this photo of me and Khemancho coming back from a ride this Sunday. It summarizes a lot that could be said about connection and joy (after a good work out!).
Bareback Practice
This weekend was unusually warm and inviting for November, so the stallion Khemancho and I played around in the back paddock, practicing rolling our weight back, doing some lateral work, and swinging around the forehand. ChoCho was really listening to the corrections – but as you can see, he is comfortable with making suggestions and asking questions himself. As in all my practicing videos — they are certainly not meant to teach anyone a method or an approach. I am myself just learning, too. I hope that sharing our journey together will encourage you at the stage you are at with your horse — and to remind you how fun the journey can be for both horse and rider, regardless of the “progress” made or not made.
