i thought it was so interesting in the Liz clinic, when she wanted us to dog walk, to go at the slowest possible walk, she had us stare at the ground. and it was almost like Tivar stopped wanting to hardly go at all. just showed me how a horse is affected by where we look. I wonder what it says to them when we look straight down. Be cautious and walk slow? Danger? Something on the ground we need to be looking out for so go slow? Do you remember that Anna? How did Falki act when she had you look down. Tivar immediately started hardly wanting to go at all. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
