This was our first ride this spring. Dawn had an audience of my neighbor’s horses across the street, and she was wanting to go faster and faster! At first you can see her bucking, trying to anticipate the canter … and on the second pass she settles in, and we do some neat lateral work [...]

In these three videos we try to work at a faster, less “hanging on to me” pace — I am asking Dawn to stretch her range into the larger part of the ring, while trying to keep her focussed on cues that will bring her back to me.

The following is a series of videos of the very first dance lessons with my young Morgan filly, Dawn.
