David Lichman arrived on the weekend to spend time with Pat. Watch this great video of how much fun his horses have to come to him!!!! Klick me
It is great to watch the students and their horses progress and that we as 3 star candidates can participate and support. The students are really positive and looking for support. The positive atmoshere is amazing!!!! We learn so much for our own journey and also from a teaching perspective. I really enjoy it, watching the students with their horses having fun, learning and progressing. It's great!!!
Today was a very significant day from my personal view.
Part of the day was the Fluidity Make-over. It was great to see how little details change a whole outcome to achieve a better harmony between horse and rider which brings it to a whole different level. I was totally flashed. Everybody in the course had the possibility to do the Fluidity make-over later or/ and participate at other stations to progress. Later on we had time for our horses as well. Tes and I went to the small coverall. She was happy to move and we did lots of change of direction as that helps her a lot to relax emotionally and helps her with bends in zone 3. So our theme was Impulsion and Flexion. She did really nice and we even had some leg yields in trot. She has some hard time with flexion, so we are playing with that on the ground and mounted. At the end we had some nice Freestyle going on by following mainly me focus in a big Figure 8 in trot. I did not even had to use stick or reins. She also gets used more and more to the bit. It is not about the bit but some emotions coming up and she uses the bit as an emotional filter. How interesting.
She was so soft and relaxed after the session, so her mouth was :-)
We had a wonderful sunset in the evening. Could not resist to take a photo of it.
Elena advised a great app for the iphone that tells you how much you moved. Elena and I have an average of app. 10 km per day and each, which is great as lunch and dinner at the ranch is always too good, not mentioning the little incentive we enjoy nearly every evening back in the Condo: ice cream. Looking forward to tomorrow!
