"Staying connected in the warm up walk.  Can we do it?  This is the first time Susan has asked Beau to stay in balance and connected in the warm up.  Beau is not thrilled with this idea...."

Beau is like a different horse this year.  Now, Susan can ask him to do harder things and he is much more willing to try them, most of the time. In this session Susan went right to work making sure that he was "sitting down" with his weight on his hindquarters and his shoulders the  highest point.  Next she checks to make sure he is against her outside rein and leg to make sure he is straight.   

Can you see how connecting a  horse this soon is possible?  Are you ready to try this on your horse?
