to GO SLOW and get help with this as RBE

phases. Easier to visualize known Parelli skills than new dressage!
Rhett Fincher colt starting.
Respect and connection and greater relaxation as goals.
Sharon Baldwin and messaging. Send/don’t know how to
receive.
Sephira has suppling issues with tight shoulders.
Changes: head down for haltering, waits at mounting block,
better about spray, brushing forelock, go slow, be relaxed, ask permission.
Lighter downward cues, counter canter, flying changes, passage, turn from
weight aid. Super trained.
Pinning her ears in her stall—invading her bubble/space?
