>>> Fjóla has been trained that way. Always with short rein and non-moving hands (actually I was told to hold the saddle to keep my hands in one place...). I still have a long way to go with her, she's a young horse and gets very insecure when I do something she's not used to.
Hey, when you're starting a young horse, or restarting one, form often flies out the window for a while, until they get the basics down. I'm sure you've seen pictures of me in less-than-ideal form - more than in ideal form I'm sure! >>> So some days I really can't follow her movement with my hands and I've never been able to ride her with long rein (not even walk). Can you tell us what you're doing with her to make progress? I'm always fascinated with new ideas. Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
