We covered a lot of information in the session today! As you think things over, please feel free to post on Facebook to share your experience with the group:
  • what resonated with you the most and why?
  • what questions come to mind?
  • would you say your horse shows some characteristics of the "hum", "grumble" or "bumble" archetype?
  • what happened when you went out to experiment with your horse? For example:
    • Did you get a feel for the neutral "sweet-spot", the place where that changes to "adding brace" (when you or your horse takes slack/float out, above the sweet-spot) or where it changes to "adding release" (when you offer more slack/float so the belly of the rope goes lower than the sweet-spot)? [see video and try it with a friend!]
    • Did you try releasing more rope/float towards your horse as you step away, when you might normally take slack out of the rope and/or approach your horse?  [see videos]
If you prefer not to use Facebook, email is great too! Here are the details:
