I have decided to go thru the book and dvd step by step this summer working through the exercises. I love the very light, spiritual, loving tone of the material and think it is just right to keep my focus on what I truly desire: to help Try be fit and happy and to learn about helping a horse to develop biomechanically in a manner that is pleasing to the horse.
I am starting with the exercises 1-4 this week: relaxation. Have taken a pretty good stab at them, re read and reconsidered and can take them further.
1. Observe with out judgement--this was the hardest lesson for me. And true to PNH it is easier for me to describe Try's emotional state than her physical biomechanical use of her body.
2. On line circle: Can I walk closer and farther away from Try as she maintains the circle--yes.
3. Can we melt to a stop on line? yes at a walk and easy trot. ??what about canter what about liberty? what about other games i.e. figure 8?
4. Riding can we melt to a stop? Same yes if a walk and relaxed not very energetic trot. What about while cantering?
