Re: [training-horses] Re: New Project

Hi Carol,

Most of my more recent stuff had been learned from Parelli, or John
Lyons, Clinton Anderson, this is such a new concept my brain is
struggling. Today had another session and my trainer was walking around
the pen with me so I would know where to put my feet. I tend to be
pretty intense and my horse is ultra light and sensitive and just a look
can send him flying so she is teaching me to bring my energy down. Its
so amazing to see the results you can get with so little effort when
you get things working and making sense to the horse. Gina

I sold him last year and the folks are moving and can't take him so they gave
him back.He is about where he was when I sold him just learned he could walk on
the the little girl who handled him. But nothing to major.
