> By Jeanne of the Billsbook list:
Ch. 1 pgs 2 & 3 In the hopes of bringing more pearls of wisdom to the front to the brain again I present more of stuff I highlighted: 1.) When it comes to cooperating with the human, we're talking about the feeling the horse has in every square inch of his hide and all through his mind, as it relates to a human touching him directly or indirectly. 2.) Sometimes just her whiskers mean a lot to a colt. I mean, they can be enough to really get an important message across to him without too much motion in either one of them showing up. And under the sub-heading on page 3 Lightness and Life: 3.) It's up to the rider to gain an understanding of how each horse needs to have information presented, and there's a great deal of variation in that. When the horse understands what you want, he will do what that is, right up to the limit of his physical capacity and sometimes well beyond it. It seems that it's the life in the horse that causes lightness to be in him. It's that, added to his self-preservation instincts, that are the real cause of lightness all right. -end quote Isn't this remarkable? It mirrors perfectly the video clip our very own Judy Ryder shared with us yesterday. http://iceryder.net/videoleslieriverside2.html Blow me down, Jeanne Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
