"Did you know... that when a horse is in "front of the riders aids (connected from the back to the front) that the base of the horse's neck gets thick?" Now you can watch this blast from the past to see how this concept brought Trudy and Ani to a new level of connection"
In this session, we continue with Trudy teaching Ani how to keep an even feel on both sides of the bit, the beginnings of "contact". Before this session, Ani was ridden like a green horse and on a loose rein. Contact is new to her and so is stepping up for Trudy's leg into the connection of the reins. In this session, you will see how Trudy and Ani connect better when Ani is “thick in the base of her neck. (I was thrilled to be able to film this part of the training process as many riders have never seen what happens with a horse and rider going to the next level)
The next time you ride try this on your horse. Can you feel the difference in the connection when they are thick in the base of their necks?
