Today it was a great day again. We started with a Humanlity Remuda which was really fun. It was mainly about selfreflection, strategies and to point out the strength per Humanlity. Facinating!

Flying lead change demo

A demo about flighing lead changes (in light seat) followed. It is great to see the progress of every student every day. I really love the positive vibrations, which are going on within the L3/4 course and the instructors. Especially with all that fantastic things going on, "imagination is more important than knowledge" makes so much sense. These students have so much positive energy to learn more, to be a better partner for their horses. Positive, progressive and natural.

Longitudanal, Latitudinal flexion demo with simulations

After the lunch there was another demo about longitudanal and latitudinal flexion On line and Freestyle, including snakey bends. It was great to see, how especially emotional tense horses started to relax and to stretch.

Waiting for Students for Liberty, Pat's coverall in the background

3 Focus stations were set-up: Snakey bends, avanced Liberty and advanced Driving from Z5. Elena and me supported the advanced Liberty and it was so much fun to see the students and horses advancing and having so much fun.

After the BBQ we went to play with our horses in the honeycomb. Elena was doing Freestyle with her lease horse "Lily" and I did little bit of Trotting with the bareback pad, following the rail, outside the honeycomb until Tes started to relax. Inside one of those roundpens in the honeycomb we had a nice Liberty session focused on the Circeling game:

Send
Bring-back
Transitions
Change of direction

Tes did really nice, time to let her off the hook, relax and let her graze a little bit together with Lily. We just enjoyed the wonderful Rocky Mountains view including sunset.
