After reading up on my prep for exercise one, and actually going into exercise one, I went out to visit my girl, Merle, to give it a try. She did great with the standing on her own exercise, and within seconds of working on the nose drop the most amazing thing happened....my slightly mistrusting, but totally giving horse completely relaxed!!!!! She got this absolutely BLISSFUL look in her eyes. It was so wonderful to see this happen right before my eyes! I can't wait to see how working further will help strengthen our bond!! Thanks Carolyn!

I have tried doing the excercises in front of a wall so that she has no place to go but Im wondering if there is a better way to show her that Im not asking her to back. Everything else seems to work very nicely! I notice that when I attempt to push my horses nose inward to create the neck bend that she backs up.

Yes, too cold with wind chills in the neg 30's tonight. We did a lot of visualizaion on ski team, too. Really helps with the desired outcome, and was a big part of our training. See it, feel it, do it. Works great! Deborah Johnson Hey Carolyn, Just checking in. Yes, too cold with wind chills in the neg 30′s tonight. We did a lot of visualizaion on ski team, too.

I really like your tip about imagine the exercises! Can`t wait to get back to my horse and start up! Just one question...my mare is 2 years old, soon to be 3. I still look at her as a baby, and don`t want to rush things with the riding and so on, I want her to develop the best she can, get more muscles and ready mindset. She got a whole year with her mum, but has gone trough a tough period after that. She is now a very happy, little horse, living outside all the time with all her good friends. She is calm and easy going, and we walk long walks, play and groom, and started this autumn with driving exercises. I`m thinking about starting her at 4, and training at 5. What do you think?

I have not had much time to practice with Gunny this week, but got much yawning and licking when I did--like pretty much constantly the whole time we were in the floating hold. I can see a hole in our communication and feel that he "yields but doesn't give" sometimes, just as another poster commented. I am so happy to find this hole and have an opportunity to work through it with him. Thanks so much for the post as well as your comments. I have been reading through all of them and find them very helpful. Merry Christmas! Holly Hi Carolyn,
Just checking in for this week. I have not had much time to practice with Gunny this week, but got much yawning and licking when I did–like pretty much constantly the whole time we were in the floating hold.

I can see a hole in our communication and feel that he “yields but doesn’t give” sometimes, just as another poster commented. I am so happy to find this hole and have an opportunity to work through it with him.

Thanks so much for the post as well as your comments. I have been reading through all of them and find them very helpful.

Merry Christmas!
Holly
