That is of the same vein.<br /><br />Actually, my teacher does make it out your way from time to time. Believe it or not, she was just in Oregon a few days ago.<br /><br />http://www.connectedriding.com/home/cr2/multilist_36/instructor__practitioner_calendar.html<br /><br />I do not know where you are located, but you could contact the stables and see if they have plans for her to come out again. She is wonderful to work with, any horse, gaited or walk/trot.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-37221158783290356912012-08-17T13:14:18.620-04:002012-08-17T13:14:18.620-04:00Thank you, KK.

Just goes to show that we don't always have to ride, there are many beneficial things we can do from the ground.

I could ...No, not possible. He is relentless! ;)<br /><br />I could try and get some pictures, although I am no where near as good as my teacher. I cannot even fully explain what she does because she changes it in the moment.<br /><br />Here is a link to her instructor page. She is a Connected Riding instructor, a philosophy founded by Peggy Cummings with roots in Centered Riding.<br /><br />http://www.connectedriding.com/home/cr2/page_122_91/diane_sept_pennsylvania_u.s.a.html<br />Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-14385146667594337792012-08-17T07:43:31.229-04:002012-08-17T07:43:31.229-04:00That is great Teresa!

Sometimes if you can just make them aware that they can use a muscle group, they start using it more. This is also the reasoning behind body wraps used in lungeing.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-78132038149107729062012-08-17T07:40:09.565-04:002012-08-17T07:40:09.565-04:00Thanks, Laura!

She is exceptionally good at reading the horse, looking at the expression and physical cues, and thinks outside the box. She wanted Harley to release his neck one time, but he wouldn't completely let it go, so she started shaking his mane at the crest. She did this again and again until finally he shook his whole neck like a dog shakes off water. Presto! Completely released muscles!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-19317611712801132592012-08-16T20:49:26.332-04:002012-08-16T20:49:26.332-04:00nice post.

Funnily enough my coach spent some time with Irish and I working on getting him to lift his belly and to relax his poll. it's funny how quickly this is working for us. I like the under saddle photos. he's a cutie!

Can you ship her to Texas for a bit, please?<br /><br />Also, any chance of taking a few pictures and/or video to show how you accomplished some of the stretches? I *think* I'm visualizing what you were doing, but I'm not entirely positive and wouldn't want to do it wrong.<br /><br />PS. It is at all possible to resist Harley's cute faces?
