Bobby, you shared these pictures with me after one of your training sessions with your clients late last year. I'm sure our members would enjoy knowing more about them if you'd care to share with us.
Hi jose He was a new client brought to me because she had problems with head lifting and lack of the "back engine" he was very hollow and really was not interested in work! I actualy don t blame the poor lad as he was working in a pelham at the time !!!! the owner asked one of my students if I could help and of course I am always happy to as you well know! on arrival for my training session the owner was a bit surprised when I demanded thet I fitted my own simple eggbutt bridoon and a drop noseband and told her that I intended to work here hore on the long reins! I later dscovered that he had nt even been lunged before! lol I started working with him from 20' away on the long lines and as you can see in the first pic poor lad was very unbalanced the 2nd picture was taken 20 mins later and I am sure all will agree that he looks a very changed little horse he really becamed very much more engaged note the new engagement of the quarters so many trainers in these sad times totaly ignoge the value of the longe and the art of the longline! perhaps why so many riders fail to connect with their horse?
I would add as a footnote; please all of you out there dedicated to training your horse please please give up your "shortcuts" and get back to basics It honestly is the only way to move forward.
The difference is lovely to see. And so nice for the horse! If only more people would learn that when you take time in the beginning, you save time in the end.
