I am looking forward to Carolyn's response to you as I had that problem way back when the winter blog course was going on. The WR have to a huge extent helped, my horse is much more relaxed about this now but I have to keep sessions short or he gets cross and nippy again! I would like to ask Carolyn for clarification of one aspect of the first UE too. When the horse is standing with a relaxed enough neck and poll, we move on to very gently rocking the nose from side to side. Now my headcollar on the horse is quite wide and roomy around his nose; do I pull the headcollar to the side so it in turn moves the head, or do I use my hands to move his head? or get a tighter fitting headcollar? A close up of the actual nose of a horse in this part of the exercise would be superhelpful actually, any chance of that? many thanks Susan (IC Italy) Hi – thanks for posting Mary, I was wondering whether the blog was still active and now I know!

I am not forcing or anything like that. Should I just stop each time he does this and try again later? My 5 year old arab tends to get mouthy when he feels unconfident - Dear Carolyn,

We have mainly just returned to the first exercise and the horses are grateful for the interaction as they are greatly bored. Feeling a bit sad to return so little for all you have been giving, student and teacher. Thanks for the loveliness of Stina's work with her horses, seeing the spirit of the work in practice. Tend to forget even when not "working," one can bring an attitude of presence/an openness and regard for the horse's being. Be well, Nan Pantle Dear Carolyn,

I loved the comments on the mental and spiritual preparation that needs to happen before you connect with the horses. That is an area of importance that of which I am becoming more aware and striving to achieve. Hi Carolyn

Thanks for sharing Stina’s video. I loved the comments on the mental and spiritual preparation that needs to happen before you connect with the horses. That is an area of importance that of which I am becoming more aware and striving to achieve.
